Ok. So i have the canadian samsung galaxy s3 (wind), i recently rooted it using this method: How to Root the Sprint / AT&T / T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III - Latest (i can not post links atm, it's by qbking77)
The root worked fine, the problem i'm having is when installing cm10.1, the most recent snapshot. I installed the version of cwm specified in the video, and tried it with that. It gave me a status 7 error. I updated cwm to version 6.0.1.0, and tried again, still same error. I have no idea what i am doing wrong as i've followed the instructions perfectly. I wiped the data, and then installed the zip from the sd card.
NOTE: I did put the files on the external sd card rather than the internal one, could this cause the problem? Otherwise, any help is greatly appreciated! I would love to be able to run 4.2 on my phone! THANKS!
Status 7 is md5 mismatch. Re-Download the rom and try again. Make sure to download from a PC then move to either sd card (internal preferred). Check md5 before flashing.
You "can" download straight to your phone, but there are better chances of encountering problems if you do.

Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???
Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot
And dont use rom manager. Do it in recovery

Okay, booted into CMW recovery and performed all in that order. It booted! Hurrah. Only problem: the AOSP keyboard crashes constantly, making text input not possible. Sigh...

EDIT: wiped dalvik cache, didn't do anything... apparently, this was a fine release so I'm not sure what could be causing the keyboard issues.

So what ROM are you using? I just picked cyanogenmod because I've heard of it before, but I would like something that works. Is there a way to add another ROM onto the phone's storage, as I don't have an SD card... And since I can't type anything, it's not like I can download it from the phone's browser?

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?
Im just running stock rooted for now.

Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.
Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?
Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

The CM you linked in the OP is CM10 not 10.1, so you flashed the wrong GAPPs

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.
Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

Hey guys,
I am using PA on my Galaxy Nexus and loving it, not I am trying to put it onto a Note 2 (317M)
Not to sure why I am getting a E:signature verification failed when I am trying apply the rom in recovery mode...
I rooted with Odin, I have CWM installed, wiped the cache and did data/factory reset.
Also I downloaded the file from this link, which I got from the Note 2 PA page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069430
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
JERF!
maybe you got a bad download? did you verify md5?
Must be a bad download, or something else. Not to sure why its not working...
To bad, I love this ROM.
Just downloaded & installed.

i just installed paranoid last week to test for a few days with cwm no problem. op most likely didn't verify the md5 so that's why he's guessing he's got a bad download and doesn't know for sure. that's probably the easiest way to confirm whether or not it's worth flashing. got a bad download and didn't verify md5, then you'll run into problems and i dunno.. worst case brick your phone.
Hi guys, I've been trying to flash the new Hyperdrive RLS11 on my AT&T Galaxy s3 and no matter what I do, my phone says cant open and aborts the installation. I can never get the Aroma installer to start. I do factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, and format system, but it fails every time. Any ideas?
Could be a bad download. You could try grabbing it again. Also, is your recovery up to date?

I downloaded it from 3 different of his mirrors none of which worked. Im of the latest version of Clockwork mod. could it be the new update from 6.0.3 to 6.0.3.1 on clockwork? or should i use something other than clockwork
you should use twrp.. check the md5 of your download after you download it for accuracy. try that.. if it doesnt work u can always flash cwm again
Flash in twrp. Get twrp by downloading goo manager app and selecting install open recovery
Also are you grtiing a status 7 error?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
For whatever reasons, sometimes when flashing in cwm or twrp, you will have issues and installing the other custom recovery will allow you to flash the desired ROM. you obviously then have the option to return to the custom recovery you were previously running either because you prefer it or all your backups were made in it.
Alright thanks ill try it tonight, hopefully it works

Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example . This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on this thread's recommendations.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)? Please help
First post on this forum. Great site.
My T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) got updated to ICS via Kies.
I tried rooting again: Used ODIN to flash recovery-cmw-hercules.tar; flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop...keeps rebooting and won't get past the Samsung logo. I tried flashing jeboo kernels also, but the ones I found are all written for the i9100 phone (not SGH-T989).
Can't get my phone to start and there are no other ROMs (.zip files) on the phone.
Any HELP greatly appreciated.

You can put your phone in mass storage mode while in recovery, under mounts and storage. Connect to PC then place the ROM and gapps you downloaded on the SD card, unmount ,reboot recovery wipe then flash

The Gapps package just loads Google applications that are not written into the framework of the ROM. If you don't load the package, there is no way for you to get the play store. The apps you had would have to have been backed up with a third party app (Titanium backup or App2SD) Once you flash the Gapps package, go into the Play Store and download the apps you had with your other ICS ROM. My advice to you is get Titanium Backup. Its cross platform. So when you decide to upgrade to JB, you can load all your old apps from your ICS build onto the new ROM. Its well worth the 3.44 for the pro version. But the free version works just as well. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to flash the latest Cyanogenmod nightly, I'm sure it's flashable and I have reinstalled the recovery several times already. Even tried an older version of TWRP.

Okay so how I did that was I actually just installed the latest stable cm10. Then I went to the update section in settings and tapped update. It will update you to the cm11 snapshot, that is as far as I went but it also allows you to update to night builds as well. So just install cm10 and go from there, that's what I did at least unless somebody chimes in an easier way.
