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.

No just download the app Rom Manager. It will download the latest version and flash it with a single click within this app!

Installing Custom Rom

How EXACTLY do you install the XDARK ICS rom. I rooted my phone and all that good stuff already. I got the necessary files [i think]. I got to flash the boot like GOOGLEing the instructions all say the EXACT same thing. BUT i always get the "error: cannot load "boot.img"" and after searching through the .zip, I can't find a single .img or .sin file. I'm not sure exactly how this works. I'm noob to flashing and stuff.
EDIT: also I don't know if I have a custom kernel or do all this go hand-in-hand?

Is unlocking your bootloader included in "all that good stuff?"

Some help with 18160L

Hey guys
I think ive made a mistake on attempting to install a custom rom on a 18160L version. I really wanted to give the thing a boost as it was really starting to slow right down.
Ive backed up my "tee" file and replaced the tee file in the latest cyanogenmod, Shoud this enough to just start flashing ?
i installed a custom kernel containing cwm, the issue with it as it cant mount external sd also the cyanogenmod give status 7 when i attempt to flash it.
Also im attempting to adb push these files across to /emmc but after apearing to move correctly i cant find them on the device (they just dont apear)
Im kinda at a lost, as this is my first samsung device ive worked on, i releize odin is a possibility to atleast recover if things become real bad but i cant find the vaild oden file (new zealand firmware) since hotfile is down
If anyone can set me on the right track id be massively appreciative
Edit build prop to make ur phone GT-I8160 or delete assert in the updater script of CM zip

delete assert to fix status 7.

use temp cwm

Cant Mount Data Error

Ive searched a few threads and tried a few things but still cant get this working so now im asking for help lol...
heres an explanation of what i did:
Last night i did a usual wipe,and then did a format of the internal data and flashed a Rom,everything went as usual,internal was cleaned up Rom flashed just fine,but then i realized i flashed a older version of a Rom and went back into recovery and flashed a different rom (i think i formatted internal data again,but it was last and i was tired so at the moment i dont remember),and i thought it flashed fine but then i got stuck at the Splash Screen,and thats when i realized that i was getting the "Cant mount data" error...
now i searched a few thread and one suggestion was made to try Philz Recovery (Im using TWRP) so i tried that but i couldnt even do a wipe without the whole just restarting itself so now im back on TWRP and dont wanna **** anything else up so here i am lol.. im currently downloading the tar from the Odin thread (which is taking foreverrrrrrrr) since that seems to be the other solution i found but before i go Odin'ing stuff i figure id ask for suggestions first.. thanks for any help u guys can give...

Using Odin to go back to stock is what I'd do. Sounds like your partitions have gotten borked somehow. An Odin flash should fix that.
Note...if you have updated to stock 4.4 previously, you will need the 4.4 .tar to flash in Odin. The 4.2 or 4.3 will not flash in Odin if you ever accepted the 4.4 OTA
i never did an OTA update but i was on a 4.4 rom before i did anything... anway currently ive flashed the nb4 . tar thru Odin and that just made the recovery font bigger and wheni flashed "update" it did complete but its still stuck on the S4 splash screen... i dont know wtf else to do this is driving me nuts! lol i seriously need like a step by step by file walkthrough cuz im going crazy without a phone lol...and its 4am now and im too tired to keep trying stuff
quick rundown of what i did last:
i flashed the M919UVUFNB4 .tar in odin and that went thru succesfully,but the phone still doesnt pass the S4 splash screen... dont know what else to do really at this point i have to be missing something...
edit i got it back on stock,now im guessin i gotta re-root the thing again smh
