k first rom i tried AOSP 4.0.3ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT-TORO BUILD8 so i wiped data factory reset and cache n dalvik and flashed the rom, it looks like it starts to flash but aborts with the message above, then i restored my nan backup rebooted and went back to cwm to reflash the second time around i only wipe data factory reset cuz thats what the op says to do on his thread so i only wipe data factory n flash the rom still same error, so i went to try another rom GUMMYNEX 0.2.3 and i did the same process with both im following the steps their stating in the op in have cwm

From what the error sounds like is that it doesn't think you have the correct device. You have a CDMA phone and not a GSM?

sure you are using the lastest CWM???
sure you are rooted??
did you try downloading the files from another puter??

i think i might know what the problem is my cwm says 5.5.0.2 and im looking here at somebody posted in the development section for a cdma cwm and it says 5.5.0.4 could that be the problem? if so how do i redo my recovery, follow the same steps i did my first one, i downloaded and extracted the files to my c drive and opened cmd and typed the commands, can i do that again while having already cwm to flash the new cwm on top of the old one? if thats the problem

Download rom manager. Then you can flash it while your booted in android.

Need help with CM10 install

Ok so it's been a while since I've done any new ROMs or anything, mainly did things on my GS2 but now going with the GS3 and have been for a little bit now. It's all rooted and everything fine, but I decided to finally install the CM10 ROM and am having a difficult time. I finally got it to install and boot up (had a slight issue with the boot loop which I got passed) but now my home screen says Sprint on the bottom. Maybe I downloaded the wrong CM10 zip? Or maybe they're all like this but I didn't think it was. On to the bigger problem, no mobile connection. I'm able to restore to my backed up status so that's what I'm going with for now but I'd really like to get this working. Any suggestions? Have I supplied enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks to anyone that can give me some direction here.

You flashed the wrong zip.
for AT&T you need d2att http://get.cm/?device=d2att
If you need a different carrier then ATT try checking the CM10 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270

Thank you for that! Will that solve the network problem too? Seems like something like that would solve my problem all together. Anything else I should know?

yeah it should if not go back to complete stock and try again.

If none of that works check in settings, about phone and make sure your imei number is still intact (not showing zeros).

Ok so my IMEI is still intact but that zip for AT&T didn't work, I got an error. I cleared cache and user data and chose it from my internal memory, not sure what the issue is except maybe my CWM is outdated? Wasn't sure if it'd be a problem but maybe that's it. Any other suggestions?

Might be an APN issue. Try adding the APN for your carrier and see if your data works. What error are you getting when you try to flash the at&t version?

Official ClockworkMod Recovery Images for AT&T

Ok so I figured it out and fixed it! All I had to do was update my CWM with ROM Manager like I thought I might have to do. I saw another thread with a similar issue, too so I guess this is somewhat common. Gotta update everything when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for all the responses though, I appreciate it.

Somehow I didn't see the replies telling me to update CWM before I.posted that I figured it out. Either way, I'm currently running it and all is awesome so far. If anyone has suggestions on specific things to do now?

Hi there, i've been having issues trying to install cm10 since last week and it's been frustrating. After doing hours of search I found a thread that says I should reinstall cwm recovery. I've tried doing this with rom manager from google play but it didn't work. It says, make sure you have stable internet connection and that your sd card is installed and working. Now, do have to Odin again to flash the newest clockworkmod recovery. If not how do I do then cuz I keep getting aborted and every time have to restart system and set it up all over. by the way my phone is a galaxy s3 i747 android 4.0.4 rooted cwm 5.5.0.4. thanks

If that's the case I'd probably completely go back to stock and root with the updated CWM. Kind of a pain but might be your best bet. Updating for me was the solution. Try that and let me know how it goes.

[Q] Cant install roms

I use ClockWorkMod on an HTC EVO 4G ( Rolls Eyes ),
I have been trying to install a more customized rom on my Evo and I cannot seem to do it.
-I'm Not New To Android Or Linux-
But I sometimes get a Status 7 Error or a " BAD " Error and cannot install any rom.
ANY IDEAS?!

What rom are you installing? A status 7 error only occurs when there are problems with the updater-script, and i dont think any dev would release a rom with a faulty updater script
Check the md5sum of your downloaded file, and download over a hardline and transfer to your phone if needed because it may just be a bad download that corrupted your the updater-script
Also try flashing other roms, and what version of CWM are you using? Try smelkus-mod recovery

Switch over to smelkus-mod and see if that fixes it
Did you check the md5sums and they line up?

The problem is in your opening sentence; Clockwork Mod. Read my guide in my signature. It'll tell you all you need to know

The Status 7 Error is not a script error either. It is an error installing the boot.img. This has become an ever more popular error on the evo. If you check you recovery log it will show everything installed fine until it got to the boot.img install and then it errors out. So please lets stop calling it something it is not.

It means that something went wrong with the updater-script, not necessarily that something is an error in the script itself, no ones calling it something that its not

So, i installed cwm and tried to make a backup but then i ran out of space, so the backup failed, so i had to delete some stuff, now im trying to back up again, then i will try to install a rom with cwm

this is so strange, i didnt do anytihng out of the ordinary, i got root by chainfire, then installed goo manager, and then a custom kernel...the most viewed one right now, so i thought it was legit which im sure it is, then a rom..... to end the madness, then i keep getting errors, its so frustrating

Ok, see, now that is getting to the meat. Try flashing another ROM... I understand you might just want Infamous, but try flashing another one just for testing purposes. I'm thinking you're one to add to the list of having a bad Infamous d/l.

Before you Odin back; are you still able to successfully flash any of the kernels you've downloaded? Also, if you downloaded any of the ROMs onto your computer, try browsing through the zips real quick on your computer.

Slow down, re-group, you are NOT going to brick...
First off, lets try some things, my first would be try a different recovery, copy a rom you want to the internal sdcard, then try. Bet it works.
I had a issue like this also, day 2 of my g4, pull the battery for 5-10 min, it seems the recovery gets confused and it will error.
another item to try...check to make sure the md5 file size is correct. common mistake, people for get to do a check.
try these, if you have the same issues, odin back to stock and start over.
Good luck. Your welcome.

Probably this...and a formatting of the internal storage couldn't hurt either to make sure everything is cleared out.

Hey I had same problem. Download through Firefox not reg browser. And for infamous use the last download link
Goomanger gave me 3 bad downloads. To test this theory try and open the zip through a file manager, it probably won't let you because of bad download.. Happened to me 4 times but stopped using stock browser to download those files and has been working ever since

Also if you can't flash most things from more than 1 recovery still(happened to me when first got my gs4) I did Odin again but used 2.5.0.2 twrp and everything fixed as well. I recently was having the problem you have now and my first suggestion fixed it

so, thank you everyone for your replys in this matter. I did odin back to stock and guess what, i got stuck at the splash screen for t mobile. This never happened before with odin, it always worked 100 percent, this is the first time i odined back to stock and it broke my phone, so weird. So, im going to try again. I wil def use firefox next time, and twrp you said the latest is having problems?

get into recovery now, and do a factory reset, flash the correct kernel for your device, it will boot.

Won't Load Any ROM

Running TWRP, I have tried three different ROMs with no luck. It would fail to install SlimKat and CM. MIMU v5 would install but never make it past the mi.com splash screen. I wiped cache/dalvik/system/internal storage each time and tried both sideload and SD card installs same results every time. Is there something I missed along the way?

Make sure you're on the latest recoveries, twrp 2710, philz 6.48.4 on 6050, and cwm 6045.
Outdated recoveries will fail to flash Roms and if you're on an ICS Bootloader you'll get assert failures.
Have you tried PC ODIN back to stock TW and re-do the process from there?

I swapped TWRP for Philz and still get the same assert failure with CM. MIMU loads the same and gets stuck but now it vibrates every 10 seconds or so while sitting. Idk if I'm installing it right though. The older version says install GAPPS but the newer one does not. Maybe they forgot to mention it? I might try a stock ROM tomorrow just to see

Is your phone the Sprint version? Usually an assert failure is caused from trying to flash a rom that is not unified, like a Sprint rom being flashed to Boost. If a rom is not unified, and your trying to flash a Sprint rom on Boost/VM, you must remove asserts from the rom zip, then rezip, then flash. But definitely Philz advanced CM is the best. TWRP used to cause many assert failures for me.
