I'm having a problem and hopefully it's something simple I overlooked. I installed Cyanogen's V6.0.0. RC1 and the market won't find anything I search for. I tried a different ROM and the same problem. Now I have no ROM Manager and I can't get into recovery. Recovery goes away every time I wipe to install a new ROM. Is there something I can do to fix it?
If u just noticed it then its not ur Rom, market has been down on different devices to night since about 12

After I install a new ROM and try to boot into recovery mode when the phone is turned off it doesn't load Clockwork Recovery it loads the stock recovery and I don't have any options until I use ROM Manager and install the recovery image from there.
Hope that's enough info.

You need to go in to the menu of the stock recovery (up volume + power), and select apply update.zip to go in to clockwork.
when trying to install a new rom i get the same error (status 7: some symlinks failed) with the cm10 and eclipse ROMs. I don't seem to have any trouble with Buglessbeast and euroskank. I have googled and searched XDA but none of the other threads are for the toroplus.
Edit: Thanks for all the help guys. I'm still having this problem.
Things i have tried: go into mounts and remove the top X on the list.(TWRP)
flashing a stock kernel gets me stuck in a boot loop.
I am using the franco kernel and had this same issue using CWM before switching to TWRP.
You can try this...

If you do a Google search you should find some information on it. Its something with the Franco kernel changing the sdcard. Have to download And move the original back into it's correct place

Huh?
Op never even made mention to the word "kernel" in his post.
Not to mention kernel is not even running in recovery (which itself is a small os).

Are you using TWRP recovery? If you are that's the issue. The latest update has a flaw, you have to go into recovery, go into mounts and remove the top X on the list. They said they where working on releasing a correction for it. If your not on TWRP then I don't know what's going on.

I have also seen something similar. What most people don't realize is the some kernels, including Franco, change things in /system as well, which messes with some things.

Okay, thanks. I was not aware of this. Will checkout some kernel zips to see what's going on.

Huh? What is siyah 5.0b2???
I did a manual "format /system" from Clock Work Recovery, fixed it for me, Seems the Wipe/Factory reset does not reset the system partition correctly for some strange reason.
This was an issue after a custom kernel.

Wipe/Factory reset does not touch the system partition at all. This is normal. It only wipes the userdata partition.

Had a bad download and on initial install I formatted system however it failed. Went back and formatted system and cache manually and worked for me.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I read in the MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.2.1 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846, first post specifically) that unmounting /system fixes this problem, and sure enough it solved the problem for me when I tried to flash that ROM.
Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???
Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot
And dont use rom manager. Do it in recovery

EDIT: wiped dalvik cache, didn't do anything... apparently, this was a fine release so I'm not sure what could be causing the keyboard issues.

So what ROM are you using? I just picked cyanogenmod because I've heard of it before, but I would like something that works. Is there a way to add another ROM onto the phone's storage, as I don't have an SD card... And since I can't type anything, it's not like I can download it from the phone's browser?

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?
Im just running stock rooted for now.

Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.
Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?
Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

The CM you linked in the OP is CM10 not 10.1, so you flashed the wrong GAPPs

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.
Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

Hi all. I'm going absolutely crazy over here. I have an i747 and I rooted it, no problem. The problem that I am having is that I'm currently running 4.1.2 and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get it to 4.2. I've tried installing CM10, but every time I try and flash it in CWM, I get a E: Error in /emmc/cm10.zip (Status 7). I've tried installing other 4.2 ROMs like Paranoid Android etc, but get the same/similar error. I can flash other custom ROMs, like Alliance and such. I'm sure I'm over thinking this and just need a fresh set of eyes on the issue and a point in the right direction here. Your help is much appreciated.

Status 7 is an out of date recovery, so make sure that's updated.
Also the newest cm10 and aokp and Pac man need updated bootleggers. Check the cm10 thread for the links to the Odin files.

1. If you can go to recovery, wipe and reflash the ROM by following procedure given by developer.
2. If that does not work, flash Philz recovery, wipe/factory reset --> wipe cache partition --> wipe dalvik --> and flash the ROM.
3. Should be good to go.
4. Hope you have made EFS backup.
