[SOLVED] frustrated flashing rom

Problem:
I can't flash any custom rom successfully.
At first, I use CWM but I can't wipe dalvik cache.
Then, I switched to RZ recovery and it can wipe dalvik cache for me.
I wipe dalvik, data, cache before flashing many new roms, however, it just doesn;t work....just stay at s5660, some kind of screens
[solved]:
1. install EXT4 formatter via CWM5.0.2.7 rfs+ext4( I am using Stock RFS system ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650
If you have error status 6, unzip and repack it (save only or compressed best)
2.wipe data/factory reset and wipe data
3. advance-> wipe dalvik cache
4. flash a ext4 only CWM
5. flash MIUI ROM and it was successful

Re: frustrated flashing rom
Did you move from rfs to ext4??
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

I am using RFS format
tried cwm rfs or ext4. both not working to wipe dalvik
tried ext4 formatter but installation aborted (status 6))

anyone have idea?
Where can I find some old CWM to try? I can only find 5.0.2.7.

you need a recovery which supports RFS+EXT4 file system.check on development section.

How to Flash a ROM Properly?
I recommend the following procedures because it is safe and recommended by CyanogenMod and also I recommend the users of Clockworkmod Recovery v5.0.2.7, to update for v6.0.2.9 which is Pretty Good & Working Perfectly.
How to Flash a ROM Properly using Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.9 ?
For Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.9, DarkSide Super Wipe & DarkSide Cache Wipe Zips are not necessary
Reboot to Clockworkmod Recovery
1. Backup Current ROM.
2. Go to Wipe data/factory reset, then Do a Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Mounts and Storage, then Format /system -> Format /data & Format /cache.
4. Go to Advanced, then Do a Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Install the ROM Zip from the SD Card or Internal Memory & then Install New GApps for CM10.1.
6. Reboot and Let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes.
Note: Restore apps without data if your are using any backup tools such as TitaniumBackup etc., Restoring Apps with data cause Problems
How to Update ROM Properly?
After Installing CM10.1, If you want to update to new Nightly or Stable, a full wipe is not required.
We can do a Dirty Flash as Follows. This will not erase data & its Safe.
1. Reboot to Clockworkmod Recovery
2. Do a Wipe cache partition
3. Go to Advanced, then Do a Wipe dalvik cache
4. Install the ROM Zip from the SD Card or Internal Memory & Reboot.

[Q] Did I just brick?

Recently rooted i747 with CWM and flashed Android 4.3 with no issues (shoulda just stopped there). I wanted to flash CM 10.2... data/factory reset, cache wipe, Davlik wipe... but flash failed. Rebooted into recovery to reflash 4.3, but nothing is found under sdcard/0. What am I missing? Thanks for any help!

Use the file explorer in recovery and navigate to /data/media/0. Your stuff should be there.

CWM v6.0.3.1
- reboot system now
- install zip from sdcard
- install zip from sideload
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
I apologize for the ignorance, but I cannot for the life of me find any file explorer. When I try to install zip from sdcard, my only options are: 0/, clockworkmod/, and obb/. All of which state that no files are found.

Dl Rom onto sdcard with a computer. Maybe a factory reset will help first. I'm used to using twrp, which has a file explorer in it

I'll definately try that. Will my internal storage still be there? Thanks again.

Yes, your internal storage will still be there, unless u specifically wipe it. The file stucture is just a little different on these roms...

Using custom recoveries will not wipe your internal sd unless you specifically do so. Stock recovery (3e) however WILL wipe your internal on the latter releases.

Got it! Data/factory reset before flashing a stock 4.1.2 ROM through Odin and everythng is golden. Thanks!

Did you try rebooting from within the recovery menu "reboot system"? If that doesn't help just reflash v5 again since you can access recovery.Good luck

Sometimes the recovery refuses to flash the ROM correctly so one needs to switch recovery so i'll link you up with philz 6.25.0 just flash that recovery using your existing twrp recovery and then "reboot recovery" from within the twrp menu now it will bring up your new philz recovery up. (place the zip file of philz touch in your sd card via card reader)
Go to this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100 scroll down and download 6.25.0 or 6.26.0 .zip file and follow the above steps.If you need help on how to wipe your phone using philz follow this guide below
Go to mounts and storage and click on format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard)<--- this will format your internal storage,so back up if you have anything saved on it..NOTE: Do NOT format storage/sdcard1 cause this is your external sd card if you accidentally do format it you will lose all the contents on your sd card.If you still want to format your external sd card by this way make sure you have a card reader handy to be able to transfer the downloaded ROM and other contents on your sd card.
Now go back to main menu and click on advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache ,once again go back to main menu and click on wipe cache partition and go ahead and wipe it.At the very end go back to main menu and click on wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done.You have successfully performed all the wipes.Now you can go ahead and flash the ROM.
Now once you have succesfully flashed your rom and it boots up and you set up your phone,you can always switch back to twrp ,Good luck

Can you flash your omega v27 rom again?Or even that doesn't boot up?
Do you have stock 4.3 ROM? Flash that via ODIN and re root your phone and do the steps again

just tried:
-install official 4.4.2 XXUFND3, reroot, get TWRP and flash....nothing
-install official 4.3 .........MK9, reroot, get twrp(switched also to philz) and flash...nothing

Also, you can try twrp 2.8.0.1 (the one that I use).
Head up to recovery -> Wipe -> Advanced wipe
From there you can chose what to wipe (except boot, this s**t cannot be wiped).
And if this doesnt help you, just remove your SD card, go to recovery -> wipe -> factory reset (wipes everything, not sure if wiping SD card data, but it's better to remove it first) and this should do your work.
It's always working for me, even when the ROM developer says "use the recommended recovery"
