Problem Flashing Roms

I'm currently running the stock EL29 with root and CWM but whenever I try to install a custom rom (AOPK, CM9, etc...) through CWM, it says "Instillation Aborted" as if they weren't made for this phone when I know they were. What's going on?

Silly question, and not assuming, did you use autoroot for cwm?
May want to Odin to el26 and autoroot cwm ans try it that way.
I personally Odin back to el29, autoroot, and (knock on wood) never had an issue.

Usually that happens on a bad download. Did you download them on your phone or PC?

It turns out that is was just the version of CWM that I was using but now I have a new problem. I flashed CM9 and everything worked EXCEPT the data connection so then I flashed AOPK and had the same problem. The only way I can get online is via wifi. How do I fix this?

Check you baseband in settings>about phone. If it says unknown then just flash a modem of your choice. This has happen to me. On several occasions.

It says "S710.10 S.EL29"
Isn't EL29 for GB only or something?

I started from scratch and followed all the steps until I ended up in the same boat. AOKP Build 38 working perfectly EXCEPT data. I tried the EL29 and FE10 kernels but neither made a difference.

Try going back to gingerbread and flashing the EL26 kernal. Then flash the ICS rom you want through that recovery.

AOKP and CM9 have problems with data. every time you or system turn off screen say goodbye to data until 1.enable disable airplane mode or 2.reboot that's the main reason I stay away from these awesome roms until source arrives.
These roms are the best. IMO
1.odin back to stock el29 full reset oc
2.boot update profile and prl
3.copy the rom files to sd
4.turnitoff it off
4.enter download mode and flash el26+cmw for AOKP or el29+cwm direct boot for CM9
5.clear cache, factory data reset, clear dalvik on advance menu
6.go back and select install zip from sd card and choose the rom and flash it
7.flash gapps if apply
8.go back and select reboot system
9.enjoy these awesome roms.

I think I FINALLY got it to work. I started stock with rooted EL29 Odin-OC, flashed the "StockCWM-EL26.tar.m5d" in Odin, flashed the AOKP build 37 rom, flashed gapps, then flashed the FE16 kernel AND modem. When I rebooted the data was working.

Not that I am advocating this, and I am far from an expert, but I odin flash a stock rooted rom (SPH-D710.FC22_CL287574_ROOTED-oc-sfx) without going back to el29 just to have a nice clean stock rom to flash over with something else (like FIFO2). I just try to make sure I do everything in the same session so I don't get stuck in a stock recovery.
My order when flashing (non-Odin):
calkulin's format all
Modem (sometimes...if newer is available)
Rom
Kernel (with a custom recovery; sometimes the roms come with a stock recovery so if you reboot before installing a custom one, you'll have to either use odin to flash a custom recovery or mobile Odin)
any additional items that the rom didn't include (like gapps, etc.)
reboot

Another thing to keep in mind is that AOKP was ported to the E4GT. That could cause issues depending on what you're coming from. Make sure to read all the instructions from the dev before flashing. If the worst happens, buy insurance on your phone and smash it...That's what I did with my evo when I bricked it.

messed up flash screen and no bootscreen

whenever i flash any custom rom whether the rom version is android 4.2/4.1.2/4.1.1 , my phone has no bootscreen and a messed up flashscreen when it sais (samsung galaxy note 2 GT-N7100) but then after waiting the appropriate time, the rom works fine but same problem when rebooting... i attached the flashcreen and how it looks like, i have no idea why this happens.i just press the lockscreen after rebooting and waiting and the rom works normally. i rooted using the Galaxy Note II Toolkit v3.0.0 GSM. i first experienced this right after flashing and entering recovery(cmw) but twrp worked fine then, now any rom i flash i experience this,
Is anyone faceing a similar problem or can help in anyway ?

[Q] SGN2 N7100 Boot/Reboot problems

Hi, wondering if anyone can help.
I was running my note 2 n7100 on Omega rom v15 with perseus kernal v35. It was fine, until yesterday my phone started rebooting.
I reflashed Omega rom, I unrooted and reflashed stock rom, I rooted and tried other roms.. however, im still having problems.
Once the phone has restarted and got to home screen, whenever I do anything, the phone reboots. (on Cm10.1 rom varients - jellybam and pa3.5)
When using stock rom and omega rom the phone doesn't even go past the samsung galaxy note II logo screen.
I've read somewhere, that reflashing the bootloader may help, so I may give that a try..
Does anyone else have any ideas or similar problems?

Hi
Never had this issue but if I were you, I think I'll do all Wipe & format options from my recovery and then I'll flash a Factory firmware via Odin.

Flashing a stock rom isn't a clean installation so this is not what I suggested.

.com.android.phone MD5 Videotron

Am I the only one with videotron that is getting the error when trying to flash any of the new MD5 rom. Did a FW and tried all of the new rom's and no matter which one I install I'm getting the error process.android.phone FC. Even went back to stock and nothing is working
Thanks

Perhaps this T999 4.1.2 firmware update was not meant for your videotron phone.
It looks like you will need to get a hold of the stock Odin flash rom for your phone
and Odin flash it before you can do anything else.
Here is the link for the Odin Flash stock Videotron firmware for your phone in case you want
to flash it and start over again: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927270

Try this:
Go into CWM or TWRP recovery and "Fix Permissions" then reboot.
If you still have the problem go into CWM or TWRP again and do a
factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache but do not wipe system.
After doing that fix permissions again and reboot the phone.

Thanks alot but I give up I've tried what you told me and I still get the error. I guess it's just not ready as you said...Thanks alot again

Are you just trying to flash the firmware? If so is there any you can flash so that its back to normal and working? You mentioned the error happened when trying to use the vtron fw is why I ask.
If you can get it working, flash jovys stock rom instead of the firmware. I dont see why this wont work if your up and running beforehand.

I tried to flash Jovy's stock MD5 rom and got the FC error, so I decided to go back to rooted stock and then flashing back Jovy's and other MD5 rom and still getting the FC. Will now try Jamieson rom and see from there again. Will post the results.
EDIT Still a no go under Infamous as well. Freaking mad
Thanks

Thats odd. It should work. Let me know how the other goes. Im out until a little later tonight so may not reply for a bit. Good luck!

I'm with Videotron I did get that error, try an original AOSP or CM ROM... Sometimes other ROMS implements T-Mobile features that our SIM i'snt compatible like the Mobile HotSpot App. And dont forget to fully wipe and factory reset it after !

Do you happen to have mobile odin pro? If so, try flashing the root66 firmware that way. Deselect the modem and flash.
Be prepared with a backup and with odin and your stock firmware though, just in case.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if its a kernel issue. Youre still using your vtron 4.1.1 kernel with tmobiles 4.1.2 system. Before trying the fw, try flashing the kernel that comes with md5. If you cant find it ill post it up in a while.
I dont know how likely this is the prob, but may be worth trying...

Thanks again I have tried with a 4.1.2 kernel and it's still not working, I couldn't find anywhere the kernel coming with MD5. Looked in [Baseband] ALL T999(V) Modems! w/ MAP and Data Tweaks! and couldn't find it aswell.
Cause I used multi-carrier rom 4.1.2 before, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon but for some reason this one is giving a hell of a time.
Even tried an AT&T port of this T-mobile update and it wasn't working
Thanks alot again I really appreciate it

Well there's an update. None of the MD5 rom is working for me I always get the error. But 4.1.2 ports from other carriers are working. Really strange. So I guess I just need to wait for the official update.
**Edit** Well stockorama is actually working.. Weird

Is there anyone with a videotron sgs3 running an MD5 rom?? Cause I can't, only stockorama 2 other than that I cannot..

What do you mean you can't flash anything else? When you flash, are you wiping everything clean each time before flashing ROMs or are you dirty flashing?

yes, i'm wiping everything, whenever i try to install any other rom i have some type of error. i'm new to this so please excuse my noobness. i've tried to flash a stable cm10, among others with no luck.

Do you have the md4 boot loader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The new S3 have been modded by Sprint /Samsung and require a modded recovery in order to mount storage. The other issue is that you can not flash an aosp style rom. You should be able to flash any TW rom but it won't allow aosp roms to flash. None of the developers have a new S3 so until someone gets one ir someone volunteers one this won't be solved.

If your getting a status 7 error that is the bootloader error flash this in recovery it will update all your firmware and bootloader. http://db.tt/Qt6NcH0a
After flashing this make sure you reboot the phone then try going back into recovery and flashing the rom you want.

Is this still a legit fix even after the 4.3 upgrade?
I just tried this and now my phone wont even power on.
