[Q] PA on 317M E: Fail

Hey guys,
I am using PA on my Galaxy Nexus and loving it, not I am trying to put it onto a Note 2 (317M)
Not to sure why I am getting a E:signature verification failed when I am trying apply the rom in recovery mode...
I rooted with Odin, I have CWM installed, wiped the cache and did data/factory reset.
Also I downloaded the file from this link, which I got from the Note 2 PA page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069430
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
JERF!

maybe you got a bad download? did you verify md5?

Must be a bad download, or something else. Not to sure why its not working...
To bad, I love this ROM.

Just downloaded & installed.
Try to re-download

Or try TWRP. I've had issues with cwm not being able to install certain .zip files and twrp works fine

i just installed paranoid last week to test for a few days with cwm no problem. op most likely didn't verify the md5 so that's why he's guessing he's got a bad download and doesn't know for sure. that's probably the easiest way to confirm whether or not it's worth flashing. got a bad download and didn't verify md5, then you'll run into problems and i dunno.. worst case brick your phone.

[Q] Installation aborted, what did I do wrong?

I downloaded CM 10.1 nightly build ( cm-10.1-20130130-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip ) and got the error Installation aborted. Did I do something wrong? I know it maybe a dumb question but... did I brick my phone??
This is what I got:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "
d2tmo" | | getprop ("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"
E: Error in emmc/cm-10.1-20130130-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Did you edit your build prop before hand? and no you're not bricked.

Oh, that's good! No, I didn't edit my build prop. What is a build prop?

Oh boy, what recovery are you using? I'm pretty sure you are using an old version and need to update... besides the 1-30 nightly is loaded with bugs I've been reading. restore your nandroid and update your recovery and wait for the next nightly.

A little to over my head I guess. I think its clockworkmod recovery version 5 (CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5).
Restore my nandroid? I don't think I made a restore point, after the error I just went back and rebooted..
Was I supposed to do that?
It looks to be working, I rebooted twice and I don't think I messed it up. Though now I'm paranoid..

Yeah it's because you need to update cwm, make sure you flash the correct one.. And if its booting fine then you're ok, but you should always make a backup of a working ROM if your gonna do some tinkering with your phone as a safety precaution, it really bails you out at times

I'm in the process of backing up now. Is there anything special I need to do to upgrade my cwm recovery? I've heard updating cwm recovery could result in a soft brick, is that correct?

If you have rom manager just press update cwm.
(It actually says flash cwm)
If you don't have rom manager download it from the play store.
I wouldn't worry about bricking during this process

So the whole issue of installations being aborted is because of the outdated cwm.
I asked if it'll do a soft brick because I did a google search and came across multiple posts warning the use of Rom Manager. Any way to uninstall CWM and replace it with something else.

Yes to installation abortion.
To replace CWM, just flash another recovery over it.

You can just get TWRP from goomanager from the play store. Just flash it over and you'll be good to go.

Great... another error. Rooting isn't working out for me is it? Invalid MD5 sum from Goo Manager. What does that mean and what exactly can I do about it?
Nope, actually worked out after allowing download from unknown sources in security. Since I installed TWRP, can I delete the backup I made in clockworkmod recovery? I think its in my SD and its 3 GB. It titled "Clockworkmod" has folder titled "backup", then two folders "1970-04-23.05.07.43" and "1970-04-23.05.00.14".
I want to have space so that I can make a recovery using TWRP. I'm not sure if deleting this would cause more harm then not.

It worked, can I delete my Clockworkmod folder on my SD card? Its 3GB and I think its the backup I made before in clockwork. I'm afraid I might mess things up by deleting stuff, since I don't know what I'm doing. I want to delete that folder, go into TWRP and create a recovery.

It should be fine, its kind of big for just a back up though.. Make the backup with twrp first and check where it puts the back up at.. When I used 4ext recovery with my previous phone, it put the backups in the cwm folder for some reason

Thanks, you guys have been extremely helpful.
I'm about to install the rom now, I wanted your insight into if its a good rom and if I'm doing everything right.
- I've made a backup using TWRN
- Downloaded Titanium Backup, made another backup (Not sure what this will do)
- Changed Rom to AOKP Milestone 1 ( aokp_d2tmo_jb_milestone-1 )
- Downloaded Google Apps ( gapps-jb-20121212-signed )
Installation
- Run TWRN
- Going to wipe ( data/factory reset ) 3 times
- Going to wipe ( cache ) 3 times
- Select install zip from sdcard (First AOKP, then Google Apps)
- Reboot
Alright, does that look good to you? Do I have your blessings.

What's your opinion on AOKP nightly build JB-MR1 ( aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_build-2 ). I was looking into this because it has 4.2.1 jellybean and it was suggested I avoid CM 10.1 nightly.

Phone stuck in bootlooop!

I installed ParanoidRom and everything was going fine till my phone did not start and went into bootloop.I'm really worried,i don't know what to do.
I've gone into recovery and wiped everything from cache to sd card but nothing seems to help.I have tried re-flashing boot.img and recovery.zip files but nothing works.I tried downloading stock RUU for my device but could not find the right one.
I want to flash another custom ROM but i don't know how to do it without access to SD card.SD card does not show up in my computer.It shows up only if i start my phone and change from "charge only" to "disk drive" but since i can't boot into my phone that option is closed.Is there any way to install the ROM from the zip file on my computer?
I have tried extracting the contents of the ROM zip file to the fastboot folder and flashing the boot.img but it gives a BootMagic check fail error.
Is my phone bricked,is there any hope,i can't lose my phone.

Yes there is hope, so don't worry

Ok i managed to copy the ROM zip file to SD card but when i tried to flash boot.img it gave me a BootMagic check fail error.What do i do now.

R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!
Why are you still trying with that rom?
Custom roms are sometimes bad, its happened to me 2 times one after the other....theyre just too buggy to work.
also putting stuff on microsd card from phone is kinda....stupid. just use the microsd card adapter for pcs they always hand out one along with the micro.
Download ANOTHER custom rom (there are many better ones than paranoid...foxhound or rootbox are good. Not cyanogen they still need to make a complete version for s3).
And FACTORY RESET/FORMAT EVERYTHING and then flash from rom package. Why bother flashing boot image?

Plus theres no reason to be worried if ur phone is stuck in bootloop. Bootloop saves phones not kills them. If it can't run the os (custom rom)....well it just can't. Take off the battery and re insert, at least it wont run out of battery life.
Then when uve got everything ready along with rom on sd card just boot in recovery mode and do what i told you earlier. If sdcard is a problem i remember there was an option in clockwork to have the rom pushed to the phone from the pc just like what happens when u root with odin...

I'm trying a different ROM.I'm not using Paranoid ROM i'm using PAC ROM.I don't have a microsd card adapter but anyways i was able to successfully copy the ROM zip file to the sd card.
I have downloaded PAC ROM but i can't install it.If i install it by flashing the boot image in fastboot folder it gives a BootMagic error and if i try to install it via CWM recovery it aborts the installation and gives some weird error.

I'm using the boot image found in the zip file of PAC ROM.When i flash this boot image it first sends boot but there's and error when it tries to write boot.
I was using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img but that was giving an error so i tried using another command,fasboot flash system boot.img and there was no error this time.So i typed the command fastboot reboot and went into recovery to open CWM recovery and chose install zip from sd card,i chose the zip file but it gave an error and did not install.I don't know what to do.Looks lik my phone is done.

Don't do that stuff without asking! I don't think it was a good idea to do fastboot flash system.. But it may be fixable. I've never used that command so just wait that someone that knows what to do gets here.

Are you going mad? What the hell is pac rom? Are you fixated with paranoid android? All they have are.dropdown windows like tablets...not really very useful. Get a MORE popular rom, and more stable. Try aokp.
And dont flash just the bootimage. Flash it ALL. Reset everythung to factory and install FULL rom...at this point its obvious.the problem of the paranoid rom doesnt rely in bootimage...maybe its kernel.
So:
Intstall new rom + new kernel(just to be sure its not kernel problem).

PAC rom is quite popular.

dont get sensitive i was trying to help. What i meant was:
"Good sir, would it not be wiser to stop flashing bits of roms and instead flash all of it through cwm?
It does, in fact, seem to me that your downloaded rom/roms appear to be broken or somewhat buggy, perhaps flashing some evem MORE popular roms that the already very popular pac rom would fix the problem, thus liberating all of us from the madness you cell-phone is causing and making it's user happy once more"

[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?

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.

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

Most likely you tried to flash some rom which was not 100% compatible with your phone.
If you can get into CWM or TWRP recovery just do a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache.
Do NOT wipe or format SYSTEM . This should allow your phone to boot completly.
Be sure NOT to try flashing the same rom which gave you the error 7.
If you are still having problems then continue reading...
If you have a cwm/twrp backup (nandroid) of your previous rom go back into cwm or twrp
and restore your nandroid backup.
If you don't have a nandroid backup but you do have a proper zip file custom rom saved to your sdcard
then you can flash the rom making sure you first do a factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik and system.
After that you can start over again but be sure to make a nandroid backup first.
If you still have problems after doing the above you will need to ODIN flash the stock-rooted
Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 firmware.
P.S. You would NEVER get an ERROR 7 if you would only flash stock based "Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 custom roms"
instead of those CM/AOKP/AOSP or Ported roms.
Good Luck!

First of all, make sure that you redownload the ROM, check that the MD5's match, and that you are indeed on the latest CWM recovery.
Secondly, I've heard of these status 7 errors, even when on the latest CWM recovery. There's times when installing certain ROMs where these errors occur, which usually happens when the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing and this portion of the script are called “asserts”. with this it prevents you from accidentally flashing a ROM intended for a different model.
Normally you can fix the issue by installing TWRP recovery but there's another possible solution for this if the TWRP method doesn't solve it but take some serious precaution. You need to be very careful and do this at your own risk.
Follow this step by step guide
http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/
Following this will remove the asserts thus removing protection upon flashing the wrong ROM. Do if you choose to follow this make absolutely sure that the ROM you're flashing is for the T999.

Status 7 errors can very well still occur through CWM recovery on stock based ROMs.. It mostly all depends on the ROMs updater script and if the dev accidentally made an error within that, which is why the asserts would normally correct that error by forcing the ROM to be flashed regardless.

Everyone, Thanks for helping me out, I flash back to stock firmware, I found out that I rooted my phone the wrong way (Qbking's Video). I tried rerooting but I used a different method and updated CWM, now works completely fine, Thanks for all your help!! :thumbup::thumbup:
