Noob problem
Every time I try to flahs a new rom i get errors.
in wipe and install its getting (E:Unable to mount '/efs')
Now i switched from CWM recovery to TWRP for the reason that their latest update gave me to much trouble and ive been flashing roms on my sgs2 since gingerbread..
I'm not trying to cause problems just trying to get a fix on the situation.
I can always restore back to my last backup but im a flashaholic and sucks that im stuck on the same rom for so long
please help and its ok if i get flamed as long as i get a solution
From the top of my head, I would suggest to downgrade
the TWRP to ver. 2.2.2.0
Try that and see how it goes.
Good luck!

So figured out I can flash any ics ROM with no issues. I still get the same error but the ROM flashes with no issues.as soon as I try a jb ROM it doesn't work just bootloops after the flash.. Any reason why? Love twrp wish there's a solution

I guess no one has an answer.I'm believing to think it's my phone and not the recovery tool

Have you tried a different download? Try using a different browser to dl and flash again. Or you could try using an older version of TWRP if the newer one isn't working well on your phone.

Might be better off with goo manager and installing twrp. Also when you have an issue, give as much detail so people can be more helpful

Trying Goo manager although when I try to load twrp it forces close, someone help me I want to ROM this up. I'm rooted and have clockwork but have no luck flashing
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Check the md5 sum and see if it matches up, or if ur lazy re-download the rom, just make sure its for incredible 2. It could be a bad download. Also I believe you have to flash the kernel after the rom as well

Okay some help here I know it was right ROM, how do I get right kernal ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Roms have the kernel included no reason to flash different kernel unless you are wanting to change clock settings or voltages or fix problems such as volumes.

ClockworkMod is the recovery I started out with, it should work just fine and will not affect flashing a ROM. After a few weeks I switched over to 4ext recovery. But I would get a little more familiar before jumping around to much. Have you successfully flashed a custom rom yet? One other thing you may check is the radio version, I recommend upgrading to the .312 or .320 radio.
Not on this phone done rooting on nook color and my first Android so I need to flash a radio and a ROM ?

Download condemned cm.7.2 on your PC and put it in the root of your SD card. I hope you made a backup of your old ROM before you tried this seeing as you're not booting atm

I haven't seen this answered (or I'm blind)...Are you S-Off, or HTC Unlocked?
I am s off help me
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Okay sorry correction I am only unlocked do I need to s off ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Now everything makes more sense...The preferred method for flashing roms here is s-off. It can be done without. I believe the method involves extracting the boot.img from a rom then after flashing the rom, flash the boot.img with fast boot. I haven't done it, so I can't give you better details on that, however it is covered at length in many of the rom threads, so I think a search for "boot.img" should get you on your way quickly. You'll probably want to search with the desktop version of xda.
Edit: However, I think the consensus is that getting s-off isn't terribly hard and saves a lot of headache down the road, so I would recommend that. Again, there are threads with all the info you need.
Thank you, looked at s off method and going to try that tonight then I should be churning through Roms thank you !

No problem. I do have one more suggestion. When you are s-off and comfortable with things, find the twrp thread in development. It's my opinion, and I can't say I've tried all the options, but twrp is way easier to use than the normal CWM. There are other options you could consider; 4ext and CWM touch. It's all about the research around here.

My i747 does the same, I've tried several time with stock kernel, Ziggy kernel and kt747 kernel but I Berber got passed the logo. I tried both, cwm and twrp latest recovery. It is the only ROM not booting on my phone so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Which really stinks because I love Galaxymod but I guess I got lucky that it worked well for me with minimal effort. There one thing I've never had to do on 5 phones and wont say it for fear of jinxing myself haha
Don't know of I can or not but. I wanted to be certain. Also which is more stable cwm, or twrp?
Ive always used cwm but I read that twrp fixes emulated SD card issues???.

AFAIK the clockwork doesn't depend on whether you are on aosp or else.
I guess the stability is about the same but I'd prefer TWRP because it's more userfriendly and has more features.
And as I never had emulated sdcard issues, i can't tell u anything about that.

OK. Cool.. Where did u get your download for twrp? I tried using goo manager. But it says it was going to install a att version.. All Roms in too is att. Seemed sketchy.. Am I missing something ???

Did you flash an at&t rom? That's the main reason it'd do that to you. Check your build prop for i747 and d2att. Google how to do that if you aren't sure. Your SIG shows the use of it so I'm guessing you did.

I used CWM for years and started having problems with it when I started flashing 4.2. CWM had some problems flashing the roms correctly and with the multiple profile storage and TWRP was a little ahead of them when it came to fixing those problems. So I jumped to TWRP and never looked back. I prefer it for serveral reasons. The interface is more friendly, backing up and restoring roms are a bit faster and the overall fetures will keep me with TWRP.
Hey guys, I just picked up a new Galaxy S3 this morning and I'm not sure how to install a custom AOKP rom.
I've already rooted the phone, but because the firmware is 4.1.1 I'm unsure how to proceed.
Should I just install the latest AOKP rom version, or do I need to upgrade to a newer firmware while still using stock and go from there?

Should be in the q&a threads...
You'll need to install a custom recovery (twrp or cwm)
Than you can flash any ROM you want. If you want Tasks aokp just download the newest version and most recent gapps and flash as instructed in the thread.

I believe the rom I used to root my phone also installed CWM, so I should be good to go as soon as I finish downloading AOKP and gapps.
Thanks for the reply, bud.

Make sure you have the latest version of cwm. They're at 6.0.2.3 if your recovery isn't at that than the flash won't work properly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Check out the link in my signature for backup and rom flashing procedures.
Cwm 6.0.3.1 is the most recent, not 6.0.2.3. You can find it in post #2, at the bottom. It's a zip you can flash in cwm

Do you know if there's any way to remove the image that is displayed before the boot animation? It has a picture of some briefs and says "Task650 Kernel."

It's not really an issue, I just tend to be somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to boot logos and animations.
Either way, I don't know much about compiling kernels. And the consensus seems to be that your kernel is pretty good, so I'm gonna stick with it.
Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate your work on the rom. Cheers!

Hi everytime I flash an tw rom on first boot everything works perfectly but as soon as I reboot I get this error phone.android.com has stopped and it keeps doing it so force closing each 15 seconds..
I tried to reflash whit a full wipe various times different tw roms but it still happens??
Also while im at it dont feel like opening another thread I have cwm6 touch the latest and during a nandroid backup it says backup of /data has failed some sort of error ....
I really want to go back to tw tired of aosp any ideas?

Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

Thing is I don't really have access to a laptop anymore and it's really hard I could use mobile odin I guess but this all started since I started using cwm touch might first try to go back to non touch cwm but the process will certainly require a reboot which again will give me force closes...

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.
