just realised that above message comes up when try to boot via ROM Manager. If i try to boot into recovery manually , no messages comes but it freezes and only option that works in 1st one - Reboot... Please advise , I just used Andriod Flasher reflashed the recovery image but still same issue...

Have you tried to redownload the zip? Maybe it's just corrupted.

2 questions - which zip and from where ??

The zip that you are trying to flash, also I think that this error comes up if you don't have enough space on "cache" partition in order to extract it.

Yeah I have tried more 1 zip files, also removed ROM manager but still freezing in recovery menu., can not choose any option other then reboot?

Have you tried going back to RA 1.7.5 or ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7, read something in the Leedroid thread about issues with the newer versions.

So if I need to try old version how do I do it, I mean do I need to remove v 2.0 someway or just flash over 2.0 straight away

[Q] Installation aborted (BAD)

Can anyone help.....
I have tried to flash a few custom roms but everytime I go to install it says installation aborted (BAD). I have downloaded the same rom a couple of times in case it was a bad download, but still get the same result. I flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin before trying to install custom roms, could this be the problem?. I am using philz recovery.
Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?.
Thanks in advance

go with a clean wipe,system included and flash the rom. make sure u verify the md5 of the rom downloaded and use latest philz version and make a backup of rom just to be safe before flashing anything, the latest philz support 4.3 flashing

I did a full wipe before trying to install. Cleared cache etc. The rom I really want to install is Dr Ketan's. I don't understand how/what you mean by checking the md5??

Then most probably your download got corrupted. Download it again. And try to open the zip to see if its okay.

Try connecting to a computer and open the zip file and say what did you find. My download got corrupted 4 times when downloading through chrome. Try downloading via a download manager. But if it does not work even then, try using TWRP 2.7.1.0. You should find it high in the development section.

1.Try to open it in a PC with Winrar or Winzip to check that the archive is not corrupted....
2. Or u can try the other 4.4.x ROMs in development section...
3. Download the ROM with a download manager software like "Free Download Manager" with PC and open it, when u sure the archive is OK, send it to your SDcard and install
This is all I Know about your problem...

So the error shows that your ROM you've downloaded is corrupted since the download process. As I told u must download it in your PC with a Download Manager software, not with your browser. Then open it to see the archive has no problem. Send to your SD card and install it...

No idea

(SOLVED) E: Can't Mount ...

Hi everyone ,
I have a Galaxy SGH-I747M and I rooted my phone using Odin3. SuperSU and Busybox are installed. :laugh:
I installed Twrp and I have a problem, i couldn't mount Data, cache or anything. So I installed CWM and .... same problem
Do you know what's the problem and how to fix it ???
PS: I have no external SD card.
PS 2 : Sorry for my bad english :angel:
PS 3 : Except that, the phone is working well !!
Jiglii

Did you install TWRP and CWM for the d2lte?

No, I install the D2att version.
But I fixed it, I downloaded the last version of CMW for the D2att on the official website (Recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-d2att.img) and I used a batch script (made by mkh.mourad) to convert the *.img to *.tar.MD5 to install it with Odin3, and it worked :good: :laugh: :victory:
Thx and I hope it will help someone else who have the same problem

An easier way to install CWM is to install the latest tar.md5 version of Philz Touch for the d2lte which is based on CWM.
