Ive tried flashing the sydincate frozen rom i wipe the data 3x,wiped cach partion 3x and the devick cache 3x and ran the rom installed everything said to run update zip did that and rebooted and it stays on the samsung screen im using cwm 3.0. ive tried looking around could find anything on more on flashing. i have froyo eco5

Don't install an update .zip, in fact go into your SD card and make sure that nothing on it says "update", then reflash SFR and you should be good to go.

Which recovery are you on? If you are on Clockwork, please move to Amon Ra, as it is highly recommended. If you are already there, try a redownload. I know Grue took it down for a minute and posted a fixed one

your sd cards not full is it?

I had that happen to me last week with the theme ROM. I redownloaded and everything loaded good.

I also tried to flash Shooter Rom and froze on reboot splash screen. Good thing I nand backup which is a smart thing to do. But I wanted to flash so I did it twice but to avail. So what's next I've been flashing since I got my Evo and even before than I've flashed my Huawei Ascend to Cyanogen and learned how to flash from there so I got a little experience with Android. Anyone have suggestions ?

All flashing geting aborted ???

My phone will not let me flash anything if I use mobile odin with EL26. Just aborts every rom I try to flash.Theyre all roms that I have flashed before so its not the downloads.But if I flash CM7 and use the EL26 thats baked into that rom I can flash anything like normal. Ive downloaded EL26 like 4 different times and it still abprts everything i try to flash except for Calks format all. could it be mobile odin?? I have had it on my phone for a few months but i downloaded it through Blackmart Alpha. could it be that version ??? Any help would be appreciated.

As we all recommend, get your apps from the play store. Also, the small fee to support the devs for your app is worth it as opposed to possible headache you get when you get a bootlegged or base version. I recommend trying the EL29 tar with direct boot to clockwork, and mobile Odin From the play store. Try that tar and see if that helps

I did reset to EL29. then I flashed CM7 and flashed supernova rom, then flashed cm7 again with agats recovery on the supernova rom and the same thing happened. i dont understand why this is happening. just says aborted. it does the same thing whether I flash EL26 thru Odin, mobile odin or on CM7. Ive had and used all these roms many times before so i know the rom downloads arent bad.

I formatted my SD card and USB storage and Odined EL29 reset. I flashed CM7 successfully through CWM rogue and then tried flashing 5 different roms with CM7's EL26 kernel and its still aborting everything I try to flash. The only thing it will flash is Calks format all. Can someone please help??

Are you verifying the md5 of the stuff you download. How about using a pc instead of mobile odin?

Are you using Chris' CWM recovery? I just found out in another thread that it is an issue. Flash agats kernel it has another recovery repacked with it.

Yes like I said up top I've tried windows Odin, mobile Odin and CM7 which has the EL26 kernel baked in and still the same thing. I was always told on here to only use el26 for flashing ICS roms. If agats is safe I will try it. All the roms I'm trying to flash I have already flashed before and they were fine. I tried flashing GB Blazer with EL26 and it gets aborted just like the rest. But after I run one click and reset my phone with el29 cwm rogue I can flash the GB blazer rom no problem. It seems that as soon ad I install el26 everything goes wrong . And yes I've redownloaded it several times.

Ok I rerooted my phone with FF18 reset and installed agats recovery successfully. I flashed supergalaxy successfully. I wanted to flash another rom so I flashed Agats recovery 0.2.1 (the same one that I installed with autoroot, that worked fine when I flashed supergalaxy rom) that i downloaded from the repository. it aborted everything I tried to flash. what is going on with my phone???

I dont get it I just flashed super galaxy right after I rotted my phone and installed agats rec, but now I cant flash anything again.I rerooted with FF18 and reinstalled agats recovery like I did earlier and its aborting everything I try to flash. Can someone please help, this is very frustrating. It doesnt make sense, I havent ever had any problems flashing anything, and now I cant flash any of the roms that I have flashed a dozen times with the same recovery I have used a dozen times to flash those same roms. and now agats recovery is doing the same thing.

There must be a problem with that super galaxy rom. I would stay away from it if it causing you problems. what other roms are you trying to flash? are you doing full wipes between? also could it be and issue because its a De-Odexed rom? (any one)

this started way before the super galaxy from. If you read back you will see that I've flashed all these roms before. I used to flash a different rom every few days, not new ones just different ones. All of them that i had run before with no problems. All the same downloads. Then one day I Mobile odined el26 and it aborted what ever I was flashing, and kept aborting everything except for calks format. So I wiped my SD card and USB storage and used sfhubs el29 reset and installed cwm rogue . I flashed cm7 with no problem but then I couldn't flash anything else . Its seems that as soon as I get on el26 I can't flash anything. Yesterday I used sfhubs ff18 one click root and installed agats cwm 0.2.1 and flashed a rom successfully. Then i tried flashing something else and same thing, aborted. it doesn't make any sense. This started out of no where with rooms I've flashed many times and the el26 kernel I had been using for over 2 months. I even redownloaded el26 and a different rom , flashed it after I ran el29 auto root one click ( what ever its called) and it happens again with all new downloads and a freshly wiped and formatted phone. And yes I always wipe. Data reset, cache, dalvick, format system and calks format. Something is definitely wrong.

can any of the devs out there lend there support ? Or anyone that is familiar with my problem. I'd really appreciate it, cause I've tried everything and still can't get anything to flash. Fresh downloads, wiped and formatted my phone, Sfhubs resets, I've tried everything. My email is [email protected].

[Q] Need Help Restoring Phone

Hello,
My friend has a galaxy s2 and recently his son somehow managed to get a virus on it. I have a lot of experience with rooting, flashing, and all that fun stuff. Especially with the t mobile galaxy s2 since I have one as well. He asked me If I can restore his phone back to a new rom since it was acting weird. For example, if he saves a new contact or installs or uninstalls an app, if he reboots all those changes are gone. It is as if the phone keeps rebooting to a certain time. I am guessing a virus is causing this.
So the first I thought of was to download a rom (Jedi Knight 6) and did the typical wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik, then flashed the rom with success. When I rebooted the phone, it was still the same, as if I did nothing in the recovery. I thought it may have been because I was CWM, so I installed goo manager and flashed the TWRP recovery through there. It gave me success but when I boot to recovery, it is still CWM. At this point I decided to use ODIN to restore it to the original stock rom. I followed the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435. First time I got a fail on ODIN, removed the battery and tried again and it gave me pass and the phone rebooted. When it did guess what? It was as if I did nothing.
I ran out of ideas. I did everything I can think of. I used the custom recovery to try to wipe everything and flash a new fresh rom but that failed. I even tried ODIN to restore it to stock but that failed as well. Is there anything else I can try? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything, maybe someone can give me some tips?? Thank You in Advance!!

Can someone please help me?

This sounds very strange. You said even after you Odin back to stock it reverted back to what he had before you reinstall the stock ROM ? Was the phone rooted before you tried to help him?
Did you try an aosp ROM?

Yea I know its strange, and its not like I have no experience with these things. I was very suprised when that happened. Yes it was and is still rooted, Im sure because super su is on it. He is currently running JediMindTrick (ROM by ptmr3). I still dont know what to do. I will try an aosp rom, but if odin didnt do it I doubt another rom would lol.

Try wiping cache and dalvik. Then format system, data, cache using cwm. Factory reset then flash new rom using cwm or odin.

[Q] Hyperdrive Installation problem

Hi guys, I've been trying to flash the new Hyperdrive RLS11 on my AT&T Galaxy s3 and no matter what I do, my phone says cant open and aborts the installation. I can never get the Aroma installer to start. I do factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, and format system, but it fails every time. Any ideas?

Could be a bad download. You could try grabbing it again. Also, is your recovery up to date?

I downloaded it from 3 different of his mirrors none of which worked. Im of the latest version of Clockwork mod. could it be the new update from 6.0.3 to 6.0.3.1 on clockwork? or should i use something other than clockwork

you should use twrp.. check the md5 of your download after you download it for accuracy. try that.. if it doesnt work u can always flash cwm again

Flash in twrp. Get twrp by downloading goo manager app and selecting install open recovery
Also are you grtiing a status 7 error?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

For whatever reasons, sometimes when flashing in cwm or twrp, you will have issues and installing the other custom recovery will allow you to flash the desired ROM. you obviously then have the option to return to the custom recovery you were previously running either because you prefer it or all your backups were made in it.

Alright thanks ill try it tonight, hopefully it works

Some ROm's are picky or you have a bad download. Issues with downloading that rom seem quite common. I tend to lean more towards android file host than anything.

I used twrp and it worked fine! Thanks guys

Similar problem
Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example . This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on this thread's recommendations.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)? Please help
