[Q] Error 7 when trying to flash new rom

I'm not sure if my CWM is out of date: 5.5.0.4
Trying to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148306
I'm not sure where to obtain the newer version of CWM if it is out of date for d2att.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is giving http error 503, so it's not something I could download from.

i'd say searching would give you the correct answer, but it appears XDA search is down currently.
yes- it would help to have the most updated CWM. the easiest method to do that would be download ROM Manager from the Play Store, then use it to update CWM.
an alternate method would be to find the IMG file somewhere else, and use fastboot to update CWM.
and also, you need an updated bootloader. anything 4.2.2 and up requires it (since the ROM you're flashing is 4.3).

Where would I get the updated bootloader? I currently have LS 4.2.2 installed
*edit*
Got the nightly version of CM from get.cm for d2att
and got the new gapps from goo.im
Installed CM 10.2 [4.3] and is working like a charm

[Q] How to install d2att roms on d2can?

I have had a problem, I want to install aokp for my GS3 Model Sgh-1747m but I have not seen a single tutorial on how to do so. I am new to the forums and I have some understanding of how Root and Android work(My phone is rooted). I would like someone to show me how to add the aokp rom without any worries. This would be greatly appreciated.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S III (Android 4.3)
Model: Sgh-1747m
Carrier: Bell

Are you on stock 4.3 ROM? Do you have any warranty left on your phone?
If you still have warranty and you're running a stock 4.3 ROM, you will void your warranty by flashing a custom recovery or rooting your phone.

pfffff

I have searched I have already rooted my phone but all I am being told is to change the build.prop from d2Can to d2att
I don't want to do that because if I do I won't have another phone to use so I want to see someone do it so I can do it as well

I didn't manually change the build.prop but i installed the d2att version of TWRP 2.6.3.1 and that allowed me to install d2att ROMs (I chose Quantum ROM). When First I tried the d2can TWRP (which I got from Goo Manager) and I couldn't install the ROM. Updating to the d2att TWRP fixed that.

How do I get the d2att version of TWRP and install AOKP 4.4, will I need to unlock the bootloader or something? If so how do I do that?

I did the same with my d2can. I installed the d2att version of twrp and can now flash d2att roms with no issues. Download goomanager from play store, and instead of letting it detect your phone model (d2can), manually select d2att and install. That's what I did.

I just took a look at goomanager and the options look different than when I flashed twrp (d2att). It's either because I already have the recovery installed or maybe the app has updated. It's been so long since I did it myself. Try googling it or searching in twrp's thread here on xda. I'm sure you will be able to find step by step instructions.

Use the link to TWRP I posted earlier and then flash with ODIN. I'm sure there's another way to do it via the recovery but I haven't looked into it as I don't need to. Must be something on the forum about it.

Using which method, #1 or #2? I did #1 and installed TWRP via Goo Manager (IIRC). But that gave me the d2can version. I don't think you need to bother checking, though, just use ODIN to flash the new recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.1) from the link I gave you earlier. After backing up etc etc.

I had the exact same problem as OP.
What the recovery is trying to do is install a D2ATT rom onto a D2ATT phone which the Canadian carriers change to D2CAN in their build.prop file.
1. Find your build.prop file in system/data and make a backup of it however you which. I made a copy and just called it something else. Go to your build.prop file and change any instance of "d2can" to d2att. When I did this there was two. One on build.product=d2can and one on build.device. I just checked and CM changed some of the settings around and now there is just one.
Save the file and it'll ask you to reboot.
Now anything you download will think it's an actual at&t device (which is good).
The standard method for getting TWRP on your device is through goomanager but samsungs knox gave me issues trying to install a custom recovery.
2. Get the app "Recovery Tools" Or, specifically [ROOT]Recovery Tools - Flasher by DSLNEXUS.
and download the recovery file here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
Download the .img file via dd into the root folder of your phone.
Open up recovery tools and select flash recovery and select other from storage. You CAN select TWRP and have the app do it for you but sometimes it uses older versions. I chose "other from storage" then you select the twrp file you downloaded.
3. At this point you should be able to boot into twrp and flash from there. Don't forget your gapps.
I spent months on and off wracking my brain trying to figure out how to do this on my phone without bricking it. I did it this way and it worked without a hitch.

(Q) Update CWM for Flashing 4.4.2 ROM

Hey guys.
I'm on 4.3, rooted with CWM 6.0.2.3. (just got this phone).
I want to flash a 4.4.2 Rom but every1 says to update CWM to 6.0.4.5 or above, i've tried via adb commands but not succedded, tried via KIt and flashed successfully but when entering the CWM, it still the 0.2.3. :S
Is there any flashable zip or something?
How to update the bootloader to support the 44.2 roms?
I've searched around but no direct answer.... feelling so dumb at this point ... (done all of this with Htc, samsung, lg and with a Nexus cant get it done ... damn).
Thanks a lot in advance!!

osm0sis has flashable zips. And otherwise download the image and flash via fastboot.

Have you considered using TWRP instead? I have found it to be much better and have been using it for years on my Nexus. Just download the "Goo Manager" app from the play store, and make sure you are rooted.
Once installed, click on the menu button and then press "Install OpenRecovery Script". This should install the latest TWRP for your nexus, and after that, you should have a nice touch based recovery with buttons and other cool functionality as opposed to struggling with CWM.
I am currently running Omnimetal 4.4.2 and it is blazing fast and smooth. My battery lasts at least 2 days now, and standby (using groove ip on wifi) is also close to a week :laugh:
Best of Luck!

[Q] Root access on all Multirom ROMs

Hi, I have a rooted nexus 7 and wanted to run multiple ROMs using Multirom and have and use root access on each of them. I cant figure out a way to do this and would like a little help. My Nexus 7 is running Android 4.4.4 and fully rooted on stock kernel and ROM at the moment. If anyone knows how to enable root on multiple ROMs please help me and let me know how. Thanks!

1. Download MultiROM Manager From The Play Store
2. Download the files required. Install Them. (This will install The TWRP recovery)
3. Download A Rom.
4. Reboot Into Recovery Mode->Advanced->MultiROM->Add New Rom
A Delailed Guide Is Available. Just Google "Multirom Nexus 7 XDA"

Thank you for your quick response, I already have MultiROM installed but want root access on the other ROMs. Whenever I boot the other ROMs now most Google applications crash instantly and I can't open them without them crashing again. When I open SuperSU it says that Android versions after 4.3 need to re-root to update binary. How would I update the binary and prevent Google Applications from crashing when opened?

Most custom Roms are already rooted. Crashes are not normal. Are you using a patched kernel? Are you choosing to share kernel? Like previous poster said, you need to give more info. You're missing something.

My ROM is just a stock ROM. I am using MultiROM and SuperSU to manage ROMs and root access. Here is a screenshot of my main ROM which is the same one as the secondary. Also, I provided screenshots of SuperSU recognizing MultiROM which I granted access to. I don't see a reason for not having root access on both but I am new to rooting and may have overlooked something. I installed the ROMs and rooted using Nexus Root Toolkit. Let me know if you need more information I would be happy to share.

Why not flash a pre rooted ROM for secondary? And ROM management should be handled in twrp. In twrp select advanced then multirom. You can flash zips for secondary rom there.

I used TWRP to install my secondary ROM. What pre-rooted ROM's would you recommend? I'm looking for some new ROMs to run and I don't know where to start.

I use PAC ROM for my secondary ROM. I keep rooted stock as my primary, but I plan to swap them soon once I get it set up right.

Cm does not work right in MultiROM for me. Paranoid Android, PAC, Slimroms, etc should be good.

Need some help

I got a g pro given to me. AT&T. I want to root and put a recovery on it.
Towelroot, and then the apk with recovery package? Thank u guys

Here's a picture of what I have.

Run towelroot, and if that works out, go to the play store and download freegee to install either twrp or cwm recovery, your choice. I don't know what is in the TWRP folder, probably the flashable zip file. GPRO recovery is probably the stock recovery. I'm guessing the plan is to have you get rooted first with towelroot, then run GPRO_Recovery, and flash TWRP zip file. That is way too cumbersome, download freegee, run towelroot, then run freegee and choose your recovery, and you don't even have to leave.

OK. Cool bro. thank u my dude. Also what roms can we run? Any suggestions?

Ok towelroot did work! Bout to run freegee

Ok I'm good to go. Got twrp, backed up my stock setup. What Roms are we able to run on AT&T variant? Thanks for the help too. Appreciate it.

Can the TWRP recovery b updated once it's on my device? I noticed the one freegee provides is an older version.

Cm11 and vanir are two of official released ones you can download. There are many unofficial released ones (somebody takes the ROM's source code and compiles a workable ROM for lg ogp, but it's not affiliate with the ROM's Dev) you can download from the xda forum's optimus g pro development section. If you're not sure which ROM to get, I suggest you start with the official released ROM.
Regarding the twrp update, yes, you can flash twrp that comes with your phone if it's newer. Also, you can try download the latest version from their web site, and flash it with twrp you currently have. I'm not familiar with twrp since I'm using cwm. You can also get the newest twrp through these two apps: ROM toolbox or ROM manager. Just make sure you don't pay for the twrp if either of those apps ask you to buy it, because it's free.

I don't think you'll find a newer TWRP for that phone. It will, however, work just fine for most ROMs.
Recommended:
Pac-man ROM is the nicer of the US/English CM roms I've tried.
If you don't want a CyanogenMod rom, then Bountyman's G3 or VUPMP G3 roms will be great: both are better than stock. I've had better luck with stability with the VUPMP; mileage is variable etc. and whatnot.
