[Q] CM7.2 upgrade can't boot - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Today I updated my rom manager on my phone and saw there was a new cynanogenmod rom availble for my phone.
I downloaded the ROM with Rommanager and when it rebooted into clockworkmod recovery for install - it stopped displaying the message "Installation aborted".
I have tried downloading both version 7.2 and 7.1 (the one I were using before) manually and installing it by recovery bootloader - then I'm gettin the error message: (bad) Installation abborted.
I'm not able to post the recovery.log, cause of XDA forums restrictions :/
Any suggestions to what I could do, to get my phone working again?

Okay fixed it..
Used adb push instead of just copying the roms to the sdcard.

[Q] S-off but cant flash rom

I received a replacement Inc2. It came with 2.3.4 so i downgraded it and used Revolutionary to obtain s-off and install clockwork. Now when i reboot using power button and volume down, i get the white screen showing Fastboot, recovery, factory reset screen,etc. When i select recovery, i get the revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 screen. When I select install zip and select MIUI, this is what it says.
installing:
findings update package....
opening update package...
e: cant open /sdcard/miui.us.vivow...............(this rest of the filename)...(bad)
installation aborted
I have tried several ROMs and also tried to install a backup from my prior INC2 but none of it works
any help is appreciated
That usually means that the file is corrupt, but since you tried it on multiple ROMs, I think you need to update your recovery. Download ROM Manager from the Market, and Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Or, you can download the 4EXT Recovery Control app, and get an even better recovery.
Ok downloaded ROM manager and when I start it is gives me the message "you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found as "/system/bin/su/system/xbin/su"
I ok thru that but when i attempt to update to 5.0.2.0 is gives me the message " an error has occurred while attempting to run privilege commands"
I had my old Incredible 2 rooted without any issues.
Thanks for your help.
Update. Got it figured out. For some reason the superuser zip did not install. After I did that again, it works. Able to flash my setup from my previous INC 2. Thats for you help.

Need help

Hello guys, I've recently flashed TWRP recovery and tried to flash a 4.4 Kitkat rom onto my device.
I have a problem trying to install the rom. It keeps saying that there is no MD5 found.
And also could not create file for updater extract in /tmp/updater.
I've got everything that the rom requires such as the Hboot and Ext part. What's the issue here?
I've tried installing a lot of other roms but it keeps giving me this same error, I also can't flash 4ext using the flash from zip or anything. I always recieve the same error.

You could try disabling signature checking from recovery.

[Q] Stuck in Cyanogen Recovery after flashing Paranoid Android

I just flashed paranoid android 5.0+ unofficial for the galaxy S2 T989,
and for some reason it flashed cyanogen recovery over my previous one which was clockworkmod.
I can't for some reason get out of recovery (ie. boot into system or boot into bootloader).
I already wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache (in cyanogen recovery) and I also tried flashing different roms and tried flashing clockworkmod again but I keep getting an error of:
Installed Failed
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Cannot load volume/misc! - seems to be the first error message anytime I try to apply update from sdcard (ie. flash anything).
Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem with you , can you get your phone into ODIN mode?
i have the same problem , and odin doesn't recognize my phone , I couldn't find any solution ..
Actually I ended up solving my problem, I just flashed the stock unrooted img in odin and now its back to normal. Just make sure you check re-partition in Odin cause my cache is messed up

HTC One X

Hi guys
I'm having some trouble with my HOX. I`m currently running a rooted droid running android revolution 33.1. I have CWM 6.0.3.2 as my current recovery and am trying to update to 6.0.4.8 so I can put slimkat 9.0 on my HOX. As I understand it the slimkat rom requires SELinux support for the rom to run and the latest version of CWM has this.
I have tried flashing the update using flashify and rom manager. Both say they have flashed correctly, however when i boot into recovery my version is still the current one im running. I have also tried using fastboot to flash the new recovery and it keeps coming up with "unknown error" in windows CMD. I have also tried apply update.zip from the recovery and i keep getting the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory". And the zip file i made is just called "recovery" and NOT "recovery.zip". I know this has caused trouble for other people, so this was the first thing I checked.
So I have a few questions. These are: Why fastboot won't flash the new recovery/why I get the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory"/ would i have to revert to stock rom and recovery and relock so I could re root the HOX and install the latest recovery.
Any and all help is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Cyanogenmod Install failed on Galaxy S3 [SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
This is my first time working with a custom ROM. I have an old S3 which sucks due to Samsung bloatware. So, I wanted to play and install Cyanogenmod on it.
I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 (Canada) and the model is SGH-I747M. I was following https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2att to install the recovery image & Release build (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2att&type=snapshot). I am using a Mac.
Steps I followed:
Installed Heimdall Suite on the Mac
Downloaded CM12 build & Google App and transferred it over to my phone's internal storage
Restared in download mode
Transferred recovery image
Restarted in recovery mode
Wiped/Factory settings
Apply Update -> cmbuild.zip file
It tried to install and then gave me a "Install Failed" error. I was then able to re-boot normally and get into the phone.
Any ideas, suggestions on what did I miss and what can I do? Is it ok to install the CM12 release build for my S3? Or do I need to go with CM11 or lower?
Thanks.
Flash twrp via heimdall to the s3. After flashing, boot into twrp and flash cm12.1 and gapps.

Ok, so I tried what you suggested. I am still getting Install failed error.
The error says:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/d2att.zip'
UPDATE:
Fixed the problem by Formatting through TWRP and flashing CM12 & GApps again. Worked . Thanks for the help.
Glad you succeeded!
