[Q] Flashing JellyTime Gapps problem (not a noob) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
First up, thanks to the devs of JellyTime for the awesome ROM. Secondly, I'm not a noob, though I'm not an expert either, so please be merciful but don't treat me like a 10 year old kid
Alright so here's what I did:
1. Rebooted into recovery
2. Full wipe
3. Flashed JellyTime R24
4. Flashed google apps 20121011 signed
5. Reboot
Problem: Google Apps is nowhere to be found.
So I did this:
1. Rebooted into recovery
2. Full wipe, cache, dalvik, battery, fix permissions
3. Ran ARHD Super Wipe script
4. Full wipe, cache, dalvik, battery, fix permissions AGAIN
5. (accident) Key test - couldn't back out of it so I rebooted with Vol up+down + power
6. WEIRD PART - It booted right into JellyTime! Even though I wiped it!
Not giving up - I wiped AGAIN, and reflashed JT & Gapps AGAIN - but I still can't get Google Apps on my Desire HD.
Please. If there is anyone out there that can help, I'll be super appreciative. Have been wrestling with this stupid problem for hours. Thank you.

4ext, CWM, or TWRP? Also, are you getting any error messages? It's a bit of a long shot, but you may have /system mounted read-only instead of read-write.

Flash this, report back.

No errors whatsoever. How can I check/change the read/write permissions? I've tried fixing permissions from CWM in Recovery as well as ROM Manager but to no avail.

Thanks, will try. I assume you've modded this a little bit? I did try the one from goo.im/gapps, but I'll give this a shot nonetheless. Downloading now, will report in a bit.

Nope. Exact same one you downloaded. someone had the same or similar issue as you a while back and it worked for him.
Let me know when you are done so I can pull it down. I don't want my account suspended again :what:

Im not sure where it is in CWM, but you could try to look for an option that says something to do with unmounting and remounting /system as read-write. It's not the same as fixing permissions.

IT'S ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I think I know what went wrong. I suspect it was the CWM that I used, it was an old version. The last time I flashed was over a year ago, during the Froyo days. I happened to open ROM Manager, wanting to restore my old version, and it prompted me to install some ROM Manager update or something. Then when I tried again, I noticed now my CWM is different; blue text instead of green, and it showed CWM v5.x.x.x something. Just flashed and rebooted.
Play is there. Talk is there. Everything is there. FINALLY.
Thanks everyone who read. Issue solved
Cheerio

Problem In Flashing PARANOIDANDROID

Hi Guys! I've got a problem in flashing PARANOIDANDROID ROM Port by Yasir.
Every time I try to install the ROM i get this error after few minutes:
Creating symlinks
Symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard/PARANOID... .zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I'm using latest 4EXT touch recovery, JellyHboot as recommended, already tried with full wipe, SD format ( also EXT etc...);
I thought it could be a bad download so downloaded again and got same error.. The strange thing is that I get this error ONLY when i try to flash PARANOID ROM.. With the other AOSP (CM9, 10) , SENSE ROM i don't get any error, just flash fine... so, what can I do!?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!
that happened to me the first time, all i did was after wipe/factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik then format all partitions except sdcard n it worked. strange coz i do that anyway but with that rom i had to do it twice.

Thanks for your reply Jmcclue ! I've done a factory reset, wipe cache, Dalvik etc (like every time I flash a ROM) but nothing! It just seems that this ROM has some problems with me Jokes apart the strange thing is that when Yasir released PARANOID v1 I've installed it without problems but now with v3 got this problem.. I also tried to flash it on Stock Hboot, just for try..nothing! Really strange.. By the way thanks again!

Finally I've got it! Wiped everything about 10 times lol but in the end.... I've flashed the one from the mirror as You said! Thanks man!
I've managed to install this rom. It works well (smooth and fast). But I am unable to install all my apps due to memory space problem. I managed to install about 10 apps only.
Anybody has a good idea on how i could install most if not all of my apps?
The rom is good, dont want to revert to my previous rom.
Thank you in advance.

Redownload the ROM, place that on the SD Card from recovery and then try to flash that.
In Recovery go to Advanced (I think), then Mount SD Card, make sure you Unmount it after the file transfer.
Should help I think. Let me know how you get on.
Yes it solved the issue! thank you! such a small thing caused so much problems! incredible! double super wipe even crashed my CWM!

[Q] CM10 Stable - Completely Unstable and Broken

Hi there, I'm new to the forum but have been rooting for about a year. Here is my problem...
I was running stock firmware on my SGS3 and went through the standard cm10 root/rom install process. I flashed CMW with Odin, booted to recovery, installed cm10, jb gapps, cleared cache and delvik cache and rebooted. All the above processes worked fine and once it boots into JB, nothing seems to work. My home button does nothing, the top status bar is blank, no wifi, no keyboard (the process just crashes when I attempt to type).
I know this isn't an issue with CM10 on the SGS3 as this works for most people but does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this? This may be a unique issue as I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this.
Also...
I should also mention that I've tried a restore in recovery, reinstalled cm10, blah blah blah, and same results. I've also tried the cm10.m2 roms with the identical results. After reboot I don't even get the welcome wizard. It just boots right into the blank, default JB home screen and starts popping up process failure errors. I can navigate around (though the home button doesn't work) but can't use the keyboard etc.
Am I missing something? Is there a way for me to do a clean restore and try again?
Some technical info:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.7
cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
gapps-JB-20121130-signed.zip
Did you do a complete wipe? Data, cache, Davlik , System and then install cm10.
Coming from stock you need to fully wipe.

Your clockworkMod is out of date to run CM10 & the gapps. Upgrade to the latest clockwork mod, then the latest CM then the latest Gapps and you should be good to go.

How do i update to the latest clockworkMod? Do you happen to have a URL? I think I found the latest 6.something, but they all seem to be in .iso format.
You can't go from stock rom to CM10 without clearing factory reset thing in CWM.. I don't know the exact text string it uses but it should be right on top of clearing cache.. It looks like you only cleared cache and flashed a new rom.

If updating CWM doesn't help, I'd recommend re-downloading the CM10 zip and verifying the MD5 hash. It could be that the download got corrupted somehow...

Two questions:

2) I've seen this MD5 hash recommendation here and there. I have no idea what that means. How would I "verify the MD5 hash".

Flash one of the rooted stock ROMs. Preferably an ICS one since you are on an older cwm. Wipe data, cache, dalvik. Download ROM manager from the play store. Update your recovery to the latest through that. Than flash back to cm10.

Ok so I tried flashing a stock rooted ICS ROM and now I'm stuck on the Samsung logo boot screen. Here is the method I tried, using Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I used the "Bell Image (This works with Canadian Virgin Mobile SGH-I747M) - Old Image I747MVLALH1 (ICS 4.0.4)"
After flashing I booted into the stock recovery and cleared the cache partition then rebooted. Still stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
UPDATE: I just let it sit on the Samsung logo boot screen and it eventually loaded into ICS.

1) I believe Rom Manager (from the Play Store) can do this.
2) Basically an MD5 value is generated when the file is created and is usually listed on the download page (on get.cm look for "md5sum" right under the download link for each build). There are apps that create an MD5 value from the file that you download and compare against the original to ensure that it's intact. If the values don't match, something's wrong with the file. Check out FastSum (there are lots of others out there too).

Ok cool. Well i have downloaded ROM Manager but when I try to flash the latest recovery and it gives me a list of devices, mine isn't there. The only S3 listed is "Galaxy S3 (MetroPCS)". The list itself looks incomplete, maybe only 20 devices listed. I've rebooted the phone since installing ROM Manager but the list still only shows the one SGS3.

Well at least you have the proper twrp definitely try and re download the ROM, carefully make sure it is absolutely the correct ROM(I rushed once, thought I was sure n dl'd the wrong one and bricked my older s3) if u have the slightest break during DL this can happen. I KNOW it is frustrating but worth it in the end

Alright, I downloaded the latest stable (the only one) build of CM 10 from get.cm. Removed the current version from my internal sd and tried the process again. Same error...
So again, I'm now using GooManager, TeamWin Rocovery v2.3.1.0, CM10 Stable. Doing a factory reset, then wiping system, then install cm10, this is where it fails.
Any way that I can restore everything on my phone completely to stock and start from scratch? Anything else you/anyone can recommend?

If youre looking to completely start over. Just grab an unrooted stock .tar from one of the links somewhere around here, put your phone in download mode and let it flash. Clean slate.

[Q] Need help with flashing roms Galaxy s3

I tried flashing two different roms (synergy and chemistry) on my sprint galaxy s3. It turns on but then wont go past the "galaxy s III" logo. I just restored my backup and all is well but I really want to get multi window on this thing so I could really use some help as to what is not letting me boot up all the way. The last thing i messed around with rooting was my DroidX and with that it really mattered a lot which version of android you were flashing from. I have 4.1.2 the most recent update. Is that why these roms are not working? Any help would be much appreciated I am very excited to get a killer rom on this bad boy.
Did you clear /data, /system, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing? If not, what is your flashing procedure?
But no, the current version should not make any difference when flashing because you are clearing everything anyway

I boot into recovery after i put the rom on to my sd card. Then wipe the factory data, cache partition, and delvik cache. I do those steps twice, then install the rom. The install seems to go fine, it always says successful at the end, it just wont go past that screen. Does it mater which version of clockworkmod I use?
You need to wipe /system too. A factory reset only clears app data, and thats no help if you're not wiping the OS as well because you're installing the new one on top of the old without cleaning up first...and thats why it wont boot because different pieces are getting mixed and not together with the files it should be with
It should say something like "format /system"

Thank you so much for your quick response. As far as I can tell, I am wiping everything I should be. I use clockwork recovery mod version: and the choices it gives you are: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache. From all the instructional threads I've read, those are the only things you need to clear out before the install. My clockwork version is v5.5.0.4 which i think might be really old. Could that be my issue? Does it matter how I rooted it? I just tryed to put jellybomb v14 on it and it didn't even give me the galaxy s III logo. Luckily it booted back into recovery though. I really don't want to hard brick this thing.
Which recovery are you using?
For TWRP, I generally recommend formating system too.
Also, make sure to flash the rom zip and THEN the gapps.

Make the switch to TWRP v2.3.1.0 (newer ones I've heard have problems) but you will be thanking me later. It's way easier and much better than CWM... just an FYI for ya!

I suggest trying a flash with TWRP. If you are unsure how to install TWRP, just download the Goomanager app, then choose install Open Recovery Script. But, before you install or change anything, look around a bit on how to install it. Make sure you follow directions step by step. After you have installed TWRP, try flashing again. Good luck!
Haha, so it looks like switching to twarp is something that i need to do, I'll start researching how to do that. I don't thing clockwork is causing the issues im having, but I could certainly be wrong. Since my phone is rooted, that also means the bootloader is unlocked rite?

Samsung bootloaders come unlocked by default, so yes
Easiest way to switch is to download Goo manager from the Play Store and have it install TWRP for you
Generally speaking, CWM is great on most devices, but for the S3 it's TWRP that's the best and easiest to use
And when flashing new roms, make sure to always format system, it prevents corrupted files from showing up because you would be installing the new system right on top of the old one if you don't
So I did as you suggested. I installed twrp from the play store. I made a backup on there so I should be ready to tryn flash again. The only thing is I use this phone for work all the time and if mess this thing up I'm gonna be in deep doo doo haha. So with the last several attempts failing, I'm a little apprehensive to try again. I'm going to re-odin and flash a different root just to be safe (I used team epic v5). Can you guys recommend a good root to use for my s3?

If you made a nandroid backup in TWRP (I'd recommend to put it on the external memory, but that's just me), you should be good to try any ROM you want (only Sprint ROMS). Just follow CNexus's post (linked for posterity). Wipe system as well as factory reset, cache, and dalvik, prior to installing the ROM.

So with the last several attempts failing, I'm a little apprehensive to try again. I'm going to re-odin and flash a different root just to be safe (I used team epic v5). Can you guys recommend a good root to use for my s3?

If you've already rooted, re-rooting isn't going to fix anything, so no need to go there.
As previously explained and detailed, do a full system wipe, and you'll be good to go.
Thank you guys so much for your very quick responses, thank you for bearing with my noobishness too haha. I am going to tryn reflash jellybomb tonight, I'll post on this thread how it goes (hopefully good).
So unfortunately it was the same result with the TWRP. Tryed doing it with a few different roms. Some roms will boot to the "Galaxy s III" logo and others like jellbomb wont even get that far. It just flashed the Samsung logo and that was it. It's gotta be something simple that im missing here, but I can't figure out what it is. On the jellybomb install afterwards TWRP did come up with a message that said something along the lines of: your phone doesn't appear to be rooted, would like to install bla bla bla. So that doesn't make sense, because I know that I do have root access. Feeling pretty frustrated because I'm doing everything the correct way. HELP!

It took me like 4-5 months to personally figure out that the problem was the kernel. You need to flash a kernel right after you flash the ROM. Either the stock kernels or better kernels like Anthrax will do. I know that for jellybomb, there's a kernel included in the Rom but for some reason,it got stuck on the gs 3 logo if I didn't flash another kernel.
Oh thank goodness there is something else I can try, I was out of ideas. Thank you!

I tryed the KT47 AOSP Jellbean kernel after flashing jelly bomb and it did the same thing it did before, black screen after flashing the samsung logo
Now I did go into fix permissions and it did say failed, is that abnormal?
This is my exact procces:
1. boot into TWRP
2. factory reset
3. system wipe
4. cache wipe
5. Dalvik wipe
6. Install from external SD: jellybomb v14
7. Wipe cache/Dalvik
8. Install Kt47 kernel
9. Wipe cache/Dalvik
Anything wrong there?

[PROBLEM][SOLVED!] CWM, TWRP and LEWA Recoveries not booting into system

I've been working around with my device. And created a custom ROM a while back. So I finally decided to test it and here's when the problem occured:
I was on v11 something, when I flashed CWM 6.0.28 and tested it. It booted alright, wiped things and then when I chose the option, reboot into system, it did so without any problems. Then I upgraded to v1.1.2.2 and reflashed CWM but this time the 6.0.48 version. It worked fine too. But then, when I chose to reboot into system, the screen froze. I had no choice but to pull out the battery and reboot it.
I tried and flashed Lewa Recovery as well as TWRP Recovery. Same thing happens. As soon as I choose Reboot--> System, the screen freezes.
I was hoping any of the professional devs look into this and find a cause,
FYI I'm on Null Kernel for 4.1.2, running Stock ROM with G-Apps.
Any help would be appreciated!
SOLUTION! :
Download the recovery in the attachments. It's Lewa Recovery. Flash it. It works like any other recovery.
Flash zips, create backups and when you are done, Just Click on Reboot. But DO NOT click on system. Instead choose Download. You will boot right back into system.
So no more pulling out covers. Cause it can seriously lose the cover. Enjoy devs.
all custom recovery currently got problem with freezing when choosing to reboot into system, reboot recovery or poweroff.
its a bug in the recoveries.

Then how do we get past it? Is there a way to reboot into system without having to pull out the battery? How do you guys do it?
no other way except pulling out battery.

So, shouldn't you guys work on fixing these issues in the recovery? I'm afraid the back cover of my Nokia X would become loose.
yes someone should look into but its not going to be me. whole cm repo is too much for my slow internet speed to sync.

Thanks for thr solution but I am already using it and it is much better than others.
When I press reboot system, it takes sometime but after all it boots.
Now gonna try your method.
Lewa recovery can't mount usb storage. At least for me it can't.
