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.

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!

Hi guys how come evertime I try to install a custom rom its gives me the Error 7 (Status 7 Error). Have anyone encountered this before? How do I fix it? I tried updating my CWM but still, nothing works, I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 and DarthStalker but it gives me that error. Help please, Thanks in advance :thumbup:
What version of CWM are you using? Number, please.
Do you currently have a ROM on the phone? If you go into About phone from the system settings, what phone model does it say you have?
Its says I have SGH-T999

I've had this happen many many times. Check the MD5. Its more than likely a bad download. Try re downloading it again.
Try transferring the download from PC to your phone. And try to flash again.

Most likely you tried to flash some rom which was not 100% compatible with your phone.
If you can get into CWM or TWRP recovery just do a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache.
Do NOT wipe or format SYSTEM . This should allow your phone to boot completly.
Be sure NOT to try flashing the same rom which gave you the error 7.
If you are still having problems then continue reading...
If you have a cwm/twrp backup (nandroid) of your previous rom go back into cwm or twrp
and restore your nandroid backup.
If you don't have a nandroid backup but you do have a proper zip file custom rom saved to your sdcard
then you can flash the rom making sure you first do a factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik and system.
After that you can start over again but be sure to make a nandroid backup first.
If you still have problems after doing the above you will need to ODIN flash the stock-rooted
Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 firmware.
P.S. You would NEVER get an ERROR 7 if you would only flash stock based "Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.1 custom roms"
instead of those CM/AOKP/AOSP or Ported roms.
Good Luck!

First of all, make sure that you redownload the ROM, check that the MD5's match, and that you are indeed on the latest CWM recovery.
Secondly, I've heard of these status 7 errors, even when on the latest CWM recovery. There's times when installing certain ROMs where these errors occur, which usually happens when the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing and this portion of the script are called “asserts”. with this it prevents you from accidentally flashing a ROM intended for a different model.
Normally you can fix the issue by installing TWRP recovery but there's another possible solution for this if the TWRP method doesn't solve it but take some serious precaution. You need to be very careful and do this at your own risk.
Follow this step by step guide
http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/
Following this will remove the asserts thus removing protection upon flashing the wrong ROM. Do if you choose to follow this make absolutely sure that the ROM you're flashing is for the T999.

Status 7 errors can very well still occur through CWM recovery on stock based ROMs.. It mostly all depends on the ROMs updater script and if the dev accidentally made an error within that, which is why the asserts would normally correct that error by forcing the ROM to be flashed regardless.

When I try to install Hyperdrive rom latest release 15 I select all i want in the aroma but then it starts to install only the apps i chose. It is not installing any of the mandatory system files which makes sense why it installs in like 10 seconds.. I wipe everything sys, delvik cache, cache, data.. using TWRP 2.7.0.1
please help me
This is also happening when I try to install Wicked Rom so ANY suggestions would be awesome. I'm probably going to return to stock and then flash new rom
after reinstalling stock firmware through odin and then trying to install a custom rom same thing is still happening so im guessing i should try and go to stock and than completely wipe everything and then try from there?
I'd install a ROM that doesn't have an aroma installer. Then install the one you want with aroma.

After successfully installing stock and TWRP recovery 2.7.0.1
I took your advice and tried install gpe rom and still after rebooting i just get a black boot screen samsung galaxy s4 screen
Is there more i could wipe like a partition that is still bad maybe?
I'm going to go to stock again but this time with odin 3.07 not what i was using which was a much older odin and im going to then install a custom recovery and root and please do tell me your favorite recovery im probably gonna try oudhs cwm and then ill see if i run into problems installing roms.
The main problem is the rom likes to install all its apk options for example adobe reader or samsung music app but it will NOT install any mandatory system files which make the phone work.
after i get stock i also wipe data factory reset in stock recovery which delete everything which is fine i knew it would.
This time i'll also be resetting the flash counter which i havent done

Could this be a bootloader issue or something with my filesystem because I can tell these roms are all avoiding like half of their installation. They should be extracting more files and take more than 20 seconds to install
Which bootloader do you have?

I haven't ever had a problem where rom doesn't fully install..
I was minding my own business on GPe rom from Kot94h and it was good but i decided hmm this has been my daily driver for queit some time ill switch to hyper drive and bamm i realize stuff isn't going right.

I've tried CWM CWM-oudhs thing and ive tried team win.
for now im going to run stock and restore my stuff but hopefully i can get to the bottom of this
I can't think of where the source of the problem is.
I find it interesting how while an app installs i see it installing like system/app/blahblah.apk and that is like the first thing it starts to install
i think if i can remember a rom usually does system/framwork or something along those lines first
I have also MD5 checked all my files and they are all perfectly matching
Any Ideas?
I have this idea to try and erase every file on my device and then flash a room is that even possible
Could someone download root file explorer and go to their "/" and just snap a pic of the folders i want to compare your folders properties for example one of mine say rwxr-xr-x
Or i have another idea.
Is it possible to reformat my system partition with odin maybe with a PIT file??
Think, why would a rom skip installation of system files? It looks like it blazes through the installation after installing a few system apps
Based on @ninekaw9 's original script from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52989641
I ported this for the N7105 and T889
Please read the post fully before trying this.
This file basically reduces the space assigned to cache and preload partitions and reassigns that extra space to your internal sdcard.
What is preload?
Used for storing Samsung's pre-loaded bloatwares like some wallpapers and "Wonders of Nature" video that you find on your phone after a factory reset or after buying a new phone.
Reducing the cache partition:
Cache basically stores the apps from Google play while they are downloading and the rest of it is used for storing OTA updates.
The OTA updates from Samsung and big in size and hence cache has 1GB of size to store those big updates.
So basically I reduced the cache size from 1GB to 100mb because Kitkat is the last update for Note2 afaik and the phone would be out of OTA service after Kitkat.
Won't reducing cache size break some other things?
No. It won't. As I have still kept 100mb in the cache that would be fine for playstore downloads.
Can I return to stock partition size after doing this?
Yes. Find the .pit file for your device and flash stock firmware through odin alongwith the pit file.
Or if you want a flashable zip for returning to stock partitions see post #2
What you need to have to Re-partiton
Philz recovery installed (latest version)for t889.
Note that TWRP WONT WORK as it doesn't have some binaries for partitioning.
Nandroid backup or a rom zip file in your external sdcard is a must.
Backup your internal sdcard as it will be formatted in the process.
Procedure :
1.Boot into philz recovery
2.Flash the file which is linked here.
Partition_N7105/T889_16GB_model_only
After flashing the recovery will automatically reboot.
3.Next you will see some mounting errors. Don't worry. Just go to mounts and storage and do this
Format /data
Format /system
Format /sdcard0
Format /preload
Please don't format /boot /modem or /sdcard1.
4. So after formatting it's all done. Now you can restore nandroid or flash a new rom.
5. If you are having issue restoring your nandroid backup then read this post and do exactly what he says
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53207492
Note: You can still flash bootloaders and modems from odin after doing this re-partioning. No need to flash with pit file.
However if you want to flash a full rom from odin then pit file is required.

Are you running AOSP? Did you use the zip file for AOSP from the second post?
I run w03slimkat, the AOSP zip also reduces system partition to 1g

Gotcha. Looked at your screen again and definate AOSP rom. I seen about the other partition for AOSP download but it would be too small for touchwiz base.
Thanks though, now I realized how you got more space.
Sorry guys, forgot to add the AOSP thing here. But it's there on n7105 thread. I will add it here when I get time.
By the way it doesn't matter what bootloader you have. The partitions and their name and size remain the same irrespective of the bootloader.

Hi noob here I flashed the repartition zip a few months ago and recently I was messing with my phone trying to convert to f2fs and got stuck in a recovery bootloop so I had to Odin back 2 stock but forgot about the pit file I needed when flashing with Odin and now no matter what I do I can't get /cache to mount at all anymore. I am using twrp 2.8.1 as current recovery at the time I was using Phil's. Any ideas on how I can get /cache to mount?
Any help would b appreciated.
I was thinking of flashing the stock partition zip but I don't think it will do anything since /cache is not mounted.

Hi thanks for reply i did odin back using a a stock injectected rom by mr robinson. after i did that it would boot into recovery like usual and i would try to factory reset because of mounting errors but even after factory reset i still get the same errors. I then would install a twrp via odin and flashed a backup i had was the only way to get phone working but /cache still not able to mount. I honostly dont know what I am doing wrong.
Hi all, this is my first post here. Unfortunately it is an issue, but I have been flashing roms for a while now.
So last night after flashing Ditto Note for my note 2 on att, I decided I didn't like it and wanted to revert back to my previous rom. However, when I am trying to format data in recovery it just hangs. I have tried both on CWM and TWRP... twrp says: "error too many open files"
And obviously this issue has caused many other issues for me such as being unable to flash anything else as anything else will just get stuck on the bootscreen.
I remember somewhere that there is a flashable zip that will specifically format everything for you, but I dont remember what this was called.
But any help would be great

Is the "wipe" command issued by the recovery simply "rm -rf" or an actual format command with mkfs.ext4?
