Ok. Download ROM manager and use it to install regular cwm recovery.

I would use the non touch recovery and wipe cache,wipe data, wipe systeam, then flash super wipe. Install ROM, then flash the cache wipe.zip I posted. reboot and let us know.

Also if you have an external , put the ROM you want to flash on the external sd.

Go into mounts and storage and format /system /data and cache wipe dalvik factory reset and flash this rom

After you flash that you have to re root your device use regular cwm not touch and then flash whatever rom you want

I tried everything but its not working for me. Everything is still force closing and the same bloody rom and theme shows up everytime i flash a new rom. Tried flashing through the external sd card as well but no luck. It shoes Google Framework not working. is there any way around it. Its bugging me now.

SORRY man cant do that. I worked really hard to earn this cell phone and wont let it go for free. I bought it for a full price off the contract and don't think will be donating it. I am pretty sure people will be able to help me here. Its not like the phone is dead. Its working except for a few disruptions. Besides people are offering me $450 even in such a condition.

Ultimatum

There just way too many threads regarding official ics update. So can somebody please guide me. I'm currently rooted running cm9 I want to go back and install the recent update. With the 3d it was easy because I could just place the rom in my SD card and install it. But from what I'm reading there is extra steps I need to take on the epic. Thank you for your help! God is going to bless you with at least 6 kids.:thumbup:

God already gave me 7 so I'll pass on the kids but...
If you want flash the OTA update, flash back to EL29 stock (search EL29 One Click). The OTA ROM has been posted here ("How to manually update..." in General Forum) so just follow the instructions (I believe rename to update.zip, then go to stock recovery and select "install update.zip") but that is from memory.

HTC One V fails to complete a factory reset in TWRP recovery

I'm the type that likes to ALWAYS do a clean Rom install by wiping EVERYTHING. I've tried looking through the forums but cannot find a decent answer as to why my Virgin Mobile One V fails to perform a full factory reset immediately after swiping to confirm. All that displays is "make_extf4fs" and "FAILED" highlighted in red at the top of the screen. I tried every troubleshooting step recommended to me but still nothing seems to fix this issue and without a solution I cannot do a clean install of my roms that I normally do. What should I do? If anyone has a reliable solution please do help me out. I would greatly appreciate it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

It has been brought up in a thread here and I've been told not to worry about it and that it wont affect anything but in my opinion it does so i found a full wipe flashable zip that i use along with the other wipes. Let me know if u want and ill upload it and u can have it
Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

It does affect because after it continued to fail I attempted to flash my Rom anyways and all it did was constantly reboot my phone so I had no choice but to go back to stock and reboot but am stuck with the same TWRP issue so if you can provide me with a wipe flashable zip that will do the same wipe procedure please do. Thank you very much.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Read the log on the screen. It is trying to wipe an sd-ext partition. If you haven't partitioned your SD card, then it will give you that error. It is still performing a full wipe of the other partitions.

Sorry if this is a noob question but this is my first time experiencing this issue so how exactly would I check to see if the sd card is partitioned? I assumed it would automatically be that way after flashing the recovery. It's always been that way up until now.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

It's looking for a second ext partition on your card. This is used by various app2sd scripts (such as link2sd) to fool the phone into thinking the apps are installed on internal phone memory instead the normal android way. If you haven't partitioned it yourself, then don't worry about the error message. It's just letting you know it didn't find the second partition.

Oh OK so besides that a full factory reset is still being made? Because I thought that was the cause of my roms not working properly.

They say it does but over time if he experience is any thing like mine i started having lags and even had a couple installs were apps that i her on pervious ROM were then on the new ROM when i first booted it
Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

Idk.. After that first experience with my last Rom I'm kind of afraid to flash anything else after wiping everything due to it failing on a factory reset. I need to know if it TRULY is safe.

Bootloader question

Also is this gonna finally solve my problem of not being able to flash out of 4.1.2? I had it on 4.2 before I hard bricked it like a dummy
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

This is the Sprint section correct? Sprint phones are US variants right? My sig says I support the S3 and Galaxy Nexus right? Your signature says SPH-L710 right? Too many rights for it to be wrong.
If you sprint phone is not one of the new ones with the issue mounting storage then yes this will work for you. This updates your bootloader, fimware/modem to the latest md4 updates.
Remember search is your best friend, Have a great day!

Thanks ed. I wasn't sure because I had the JTAG done. I really thought this s3 was history. I wanna get it back to my 100% liking before I bother to fix this glass I broke. But this isn't the first time you helped me out and for that a million thanks dude

I can not get that file to show up in twrp. I can flash it through too manager but I don't really want to do that how do I get it to show up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

You downloaded that file right? When you boot into recovery click on flash zip from internal storage that's where it should be. Then look in the download folder.
When you download files you should be able to choose the download path, so that you know exactly where it's going.
I download everything to my external storage (sd card) then using root explorer I move it to my file system which I set up, roms, kernels, apps, mods, so on....

That's because you have flashed a 4.2 rom and your internal storage has moved to a different location. It's there you just need to find the correct path.

MiataROM 4.3

THIS IS A TEST ROM​
This rom is just a test for the i317 using the leaked 4.3 files from the n7100 including all the Note 3 features...
I'm not sure if this will even boot on your phone but I no longer have a Note 2 to test it out.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE CONTINUING!!!
1. Download ROM - Torrent
2. Copy zip to sd card
3. COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR PHONE (important step)
4. Flash zip with cwm
5. Reboot and hopefully enjoy 4.3 with all Note 3 features!

Sorry. Wiped x 3 just to be sure. Twrp flashed. Boots to Galaxy screen then goes to black and vibrates 2 times every 7 seconds. Any other method you want me to try?

Update:
I was able to dirty flash over SkyNote 4.3. Boots but doesn't work well with blue tooth. wiped and FC bluetooth and cleared data but still FC and won't turn on. wifi and data still worked.
SO it is somewhat comparable, must need a boot loader to install cleanly on i317.

Oh! so close........maybe sean can take a look at this?

thanks for the file sharing,
but will n7100 kernel work in n7105?
and any issue for knox?
can be downgraded?
will try

Why dont you just try using the leaked ATT image as a base instead?
