I've been rooted since April and have been running CM10 since September, and suddenly my SD Card reader stops working. I unrooted myself by doing the ODIN back to stock method. The SD Card reader worked while I was unrooted, and when I tried rooting my phone, well it was really weird. In odin, the PDA file ended in tar instead of md5, which I wasn't sure if it would affect it or not. My phone installed CWM 5.0.2.7, but I couldn't install the deodexed prerooted rom. And according to root checker I'm not properly rooted. When I try installing any rom at all I get "E:/Can't install from /sdcard/(insert rom file here)...Installation aborted" Now what?
Ok I'm only bumping this because nobody replied. I really need some help please!

Should the file be called "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g" or "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar"? Because the video shows it end in tar, but my file doesn't. When I rename it, it's still a zip file.
Never mind, I figured it doesn't need to end in .tar because Odin adds it anyway. I still got the same error! This is what I did (my drivers are already installed):
1. Downloaded the ROM to my computer, transferred it to my phone
2. I turned off mass storage and turned off my phone
3. I put the CWM file in a separate folder, as well as the two Odin files
4. Opened Odin as Administrator
5. Unchecked auto reboot, as well as made sure everything was unchecked
6. Set the CWM PDA file
7. Connected my phone to the computer
8. Put my phone in Download Mode
9. When my phone appeared, I pressed start
10. It was successful, so I removed the battery and put it back in
11. CWM started successfully, I cleared my caches for good measure
12. When I installed the zip from SD Card, this is exactly what I get (I will convert to MTD later):
-- Installing: /sdcard/Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package... (Here it freezes, as well as the progress bar, for up to at most 20 seconds)
E:Can't open /sdcard/Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Help me, what should I do?
Sounds like a bad download. Try to download or try The Peoples ROM from the development section.

That's what I thought, but every ROM I try to install gives me this problem
Have you tried to reformat your sd card? Can be done from the phone or your pc.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
Hey man, it seems to me that your phone is already on MTD, since you say you were running CM10, and yet you are trying to push BML files through with Odin and flash them in CWM.
I would install CM10 again (by flashing the zip in CWM) and if that doesn't work then I would Odin back to FC09 and check 'repartition' in Odin while doing so.
I know you wrote that you had Odin'd back to stock already, but if you didn't repartition back to BML when doing so then that's probly what's wrong.

I did repartition to BML, but thanks anyway, turns out I did need to reformat my SD Card. Everything worked fine after that. Thanks for the help!

wipe cache and dalvik and phone just sits at the screen with the yellow triangle.....i can get to odin even though i odin a stock tar it doens't the same thing on reboot......
help
Your putting the file in the PDA slot and only have "auto-reboot" checked when doing Odin?
You could always flash a kernel in Odin that had a custom recovery(cwm, rogue etc) and then flash a rom from there. Hold volume up and power from the phone being off for that, after its flashed from Odin, if you choose that route
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
yes i am doing that. and it just sits there with the yellow triangle screen
You could try on of these in Odin(a .tar file not zip). That will give you cwm. Then can flash a rom from there

Hey all,
I am flashing a new ROM in CWM 5.0.2.7. When I tried to do a standard nandroid backup, CWM says: "Error while making a backup image of /system!"
I tried to fix permissions, which didn't work. There is 900mb free on SD.
What can I do to fix this? Flash a new CWM?
Thanks in advance!
That might work try this recovery its acs recovery5 just flsh this and reboot your recovery.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately ACS recovery does the same thing. It says "backing up system", the progress bar finishes, and I get the error.
Any other suggestions?

You don't have enough space. Backups are over a 1 GB in space. Delete some old backups.
There not that big but cwm requires more than a gig of memory to preform it at least my backups are only like 700mbs total....if I remember correctly you need a minmum of 1 gig or more idk. If you need some space open the LOST.DIR folder and delete any of those #'d files like 820 2903 923 etc etc they are usless if you have any tha is.

Just try reflashing CWM 5.0.2.7. If you continue to get the error, backup your sd card and reformat then restore everything.
Try wiping cache/dalvik and then install it twice. See what happens. If that doesn't work, just do what kenny suggests.

No stock ei22 tar as of yet so ec05 is your point just odin back to it place the pit file in and check pda and place the ec05 tar there and have auto reboot checked only. Hit start and wait for it about 2-3 minutes usually if it hangs on one for like 5 mins its not going to go through...

No, you need to be in download mode. Phone off, hold the 1 key on keyboard then add pressing and holding the power button and it should go into download mode. Then you should be able to connect to computer with Odin running.

if you still get errors...odin again and check mark "reboot" and "repartition", then go for it.
let me know if you find solution....I have same issue
edit.... found solution, boot into CWR to make backup.....dont use rom manager. hope you didnt go all the way back to ec05 lol.
CWM/ACSRecovery Error Message
OK Guys, I'm really really stumped on this one and I hope someone can help out.
I'm running the latest SleeperROM on MTD/YAFFS2 and the TW.MTD SEPPUKU kernel. I was getting an error in CWM 5 that wouldn't let me make nandroid backups at all. I'd go to start backing up and this would appear:
SD Card space free: 7444MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Can't mount /system!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

I just reflashed CWM 5.0.2.7 and tried a backup. No dice, I'm afraid. Still getting the same exact error message.
Update: I went to the Mounts and Storage menu and tried a "mount /system"
It came back with "Error mounting /system!"
I'm gonna have to ODIN back to stock and re-do everything, aren't I?
Yes it sounds like it. I would also check repartition and use the PIT file.

I've rooted my phone, installed CWM, copied the 2 calk zip files over to my SD card, ran the format all zip, then ran the calk rom zip and everything installed correctly.
now i'm booting up and my phone is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII" screen.
What should i do?
Hold the power button down until you power off. Boot into recovery and manually wipe dalvik, cache, and data. Then reflash the rom. If that doesn't work redownload the rom. Mount usb storage in recovery, wipe everything again and flash the new download. If that doesn't work then restore your backup, check for root and start from scratch.

If the rom has it, always verify the md5 with what you have then things like this won't happen. I found out the hard way.
I didn't make a Nandroid backup because I use Titanium Backup instead.
So I did a factory reset and wanted to flash the new aokp build by task650. Failed in red error. I thought it was a bad download so I flashed the mirror. Still get the error.
So I'm stuck. I'm currently in TWRP copying my internal storage to an external sd card, but what do I do next?

Just checking, did you install the latest version of TWRP specific to our phone? Wrong version would abort a flash.
You could always try loading up CWM and see if that will flash successfully.

Sunday my phone said "android system recovery 3e failed to mount" I can still odin with the computer and get into recovery but nothing on my flash card is readable and that is where all my roms are located. Sprint tech played with it for an hour said it was bricked and they couldn't do anything. Yesterday I realized hope because I could still flash odin it just wouldn't recognize my card. I kept getting the fallen over droid with red print saying not installed. I kept flashing all different one click's and even at one point wet my pant's because my phone now said on rebott Galaxy I9000 which when I did this before I was totally bricked.
I reformatted my sd card and odin one click from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
then my phone rebooted with stock gb27 then to make sure everyting was good I updated the software from Samsung's website and my phone has benn great since yesterday 3:00 pm. I'm hesitant from rooting agian since this would have been the 4th bricked E4GT and I've got until 12/13 before upgrade. Running stock has been good otherthan me being a tablet mode junkie.
In closing I think what did the best was reformatting my sd card, I'm not sure what happens when doing that but I did acces my card from my computer and take my important files off 32gb card before formating in case I lost items. Didn't end up loosing anythining but i'm a junkie not an expert.

Everything on my internal and external storage remained intact. I just vol down power button to get into download mode and odin form the link http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166.
It actually booted not for sure why this link was different than the others however it worked. After this installed and I set the phone up I then went to samsungs site and did the update from themevice(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean)).
It works fine now funny thing sprint tech's said to only update software through kies and it never worked for me.
Main question's everyone asked me was: What screen freezes, how far can you get it to boot, can you see your sd card, when it doid crashes trying to install what color is the print and what exactly does it say?
