I was on cm10 build 10-12 and tried to update to 10-18 and something happened.. it would not start and now when I boot into recovery CWM it says "E:can't open /cache/recovery/log" and "E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log". Now when I try to flash a zip just just says its flashing and freezes.. also if I try to wipe data/factory reset is gets stuck formatting. I was alble to flash back to a old rom but now it seems I can't flash anything else. I'm at a loss

Odin flash CWM, then flash the recovery you want. I highly suggest TWRP 2.3.1.1.

I had to do some searching for this. usually status 7 is a bad download. have you ran an MD5 checksum to see the file's integrity? Also though i need alittle backround. what were you flashing? how did you download it phone or PC? Usually to flash ICS use el29 direct boot kernel tar file in odin or mobile odin. then wipe everything and then try flashing. that's if your on CM9 going to a TW ICS Rom.

If i were you, after flashing agats rom, go back to Chris' recovery because agats recovery breaks a small number of apps. Make sure you are not using chris' new recovery from source though, that only works with aosp roms.

Yes. Instructions can be found with a quick search.
Download mode -> ODIN to stock -> Put ClockworkMod recovery on SD -> Install CWM using stock recovery -> Happy flashing!

No. You don't use ODIN to flash cm10. Error 7 happens because of outdated recovery. Download ROM manager from the play store, install cwm through it and after its installed ...boot into recovery and flash cm10.

Ok, did it, and got the green pass light on odin and had him go back into recovery and ONCE AGAIN, back into the STOCK recovery.
I'm losing my mind with frustration!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Also, why doesn't this work?

He rooted it I wasn't there when he did it.
It sure seems rooted it.. Super user is there and I already flashed a rom
But again, every CM10 based rom gives some sort of failure
and his recovery goes back and forth on its own from CWM to stock, its very strange
What recovery version does he have?

The one from goo-manager
Whatever goomanger puts on there.
The problem is, if he loads goo manager, tells it to download the recovery and reboots into recovery the recovery will there.
If he reboots a few times and then goes and reboots into recovery it will revert back into the stock recovery.
WTF!! lol
All you need to do is to install ROM manager from the play store and from it you can install the latest cwm recovery easily.

Yes, we installed Rom manager and when he clicks "flash clockworkmod recovery" he gets an error
I gotta wait till he gets home so he can tell me what the error is again
thanks
Ok I forgot, he doesn't get an error message when he goes to install the clockwork recovery via rom manager, he gets a message that he has to choose a phone and in that list there is no GSIII
which model should he choose ? THANKS
Yea so ok, something is seriously screwed here,
I had him flash the CWM recovery the third on this list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28612095&postcount=558
Had him reboot into recovery and flash that zip, it was successful, I had him reboot into recovery from the touch recovery that we installed from goo-manager and he was indeed in the CWM recovery
Had him reboot the system, then again reboot into recovery from rom manager and sure enough it reboots into the stock android recovery.
Something is seriously wrong here.
I am totally at a loss
It has something to do with the flash counter. Since I'm not sure about it I would have him re root his phone using the toolkit and flash a recovery with the toolkit and see what happens.

Are you trying to root a kies/ota update? Canadian carriers put in an install script that removes custom recovery at every reboot.
Look for install.sh in the root of the phone's file system.

I'm using the latest lewa from Delanoister for a few days. Suddenly after a reboot I get stuck on the BNC logo. I flash CM7 from MMB and still get stuck on Android text. I wipe data, format system and flash ROMs but still got stuck. What can I do? :crying:

after wiping, finally got into system, but still when I go into recovery, I saw this as shown in attachment. And I tried flashing custom ROMs but can't get into system, only stock ROM flashed through Odin can. Do you know why?
you need custom recovery, root acces, at least android 2.3.x. anld ext4formatter.zip rlthe first time installing a custom rom. you problably miss atleast one.

My procedure:
flash stock ROM (2.3.x) -> boot into recovery and wipe data -> can boot into system -> flash CWM using Odin -> flash ext4formatter.zip using CWM -> reboot and flash PX-recovery -> reboot into PX-recovery -> flash custom ROM (CM7 by MMB)
until the last step everything was fine, but stuck on android text after flashing custom ROM. Maybe I miss rooting? thanks anyway and I will try later

Whenever I flash something using Mobile Odin/direct boot cwm I get stuck in a boot loop. Is there anyway to get out of it without flashing the whole ROM again?

You can't get stuck in a boot loop using direct boot kernel unless you have a bad download. After flashing, it goes to cwm el29 recovery and that is not called bootloop. You do whatever you want to in recovery and then flash the kernel zip in directboot el29 cwm for your rom before exiting from recovery. if you don't have a kernel zip matching your rom, flash the rom zip again without wiping data.
When I try to wipe or install any ROM it says
E: error opening /data/lost+found
E: unable to mount internal storage
And when the installing is done ROM never boots up.
I was in jellybean ROM but im trying to go back to touch wiz

I had that issue once. Even going back to bare stock didn't fix it.
If you restore a nandroid which you made I hope. Go to that folder /data you'll find there isn't a folder called lost+found
Create one. Reboot into recovery and you should be okay.

Delete it and create it.
The time it happened to me the folder turned into a random file. One I read after a few min of googlefu
If your recovery is up to date, try flashing the prev version.
