[Q] Wind SGH-T999V CM Help

Okay, I'm new to Android and I heard this is the go-to spot for help. Anyway, this is what happened to my Wind SGH-T999V. Mind you i'm VERY new to this rooting thing
I rooted my S3 by using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and i used odin3 v1.85 and it worked. I downloaded a root checker and it said i'm rooted. Then i put CM 10.1.2 on my sd card and wanted to install it via TWRP recovery but it gave me an error that said "No MD5 filed found" or something along those line.
I then tried to use different versions of twrp ( twrp 2.6.1.0) and a different CM (10.1.1) but i still got the same "no Md5 found" error. So, a friend then told me to ditch twrp all-together and download CWM instead. So, I download recovery clockwork touch 6.0.3.7 and put it on my phone.
THEN, i tried to go back to the recovery boot place, but after that small blue font saying "recovery boot", my phone goes black. I dont see the old twrp recovery or the clockwork one.
I just really want to have Cyanogenmod on my phone, i've been having a hard time. Help please?

Just disable the md5 check, most or the ROM files are not going to include a hash file, but will flash fine. TWRP or CWM will error out if the flash fails.
Also, it sounds like your recovery install failed, just reinstall using ODIN and a file from @DocHoliday77 (I recommend TWRP over CWM, but it is just preference)

It's already unchecked.

Install TWRP and try again, should work without issue. Also, redownload the ROM file, preferably the latest version, 10.1.3RC2 (I think)

Can you link me the most STABLE CM that works with my Wind SGh-T999V?

Don't use RC2. If you want stable, use 10.1.2. get.cm, filter it for your device. I think Doc also has them in his signature.

http://get.cm/?device=d2tmo&type=stable
"Stable" is relative, the RCs are just as good.

I have cm 10.1.2 downloaded but like i said, it\s not installing for me. I used multiple recovery's and atm i'm using twrp 2.2.2.0 and it's not installing either.
EDIT: I'm getting a status 7 error when I try to install it via twrp install

You need to edit the install script because your device isn't supported. Or you can download Doc's version.

Actually I'm pretty sure cm includes the T999V, but I'm betting the firmware needs to be updated.
Look in Aerowinders Sig for the links to the firmware. In that OP you should find a link to the thread with the T999V firmware.
Or, you can go to my T999L thread and get the Rom there. But w/o updated firmware it may be buggy.

CM10.1.3 is now Stable and will be the last 4.2.2 build. It should has the all of the Asserts, including the MB7 one. Also, update your TWRP, the current is 2.6.3.0.

I want to install CM so bad but after reading lot of threads n comments, I am scared. there are many terms used, i even dont know like flash kernel, OTI, radio etc... i just know about rooting, recovery and ROM... so i have decided to install PAC man instaed its a combination of couple roms and is most successful and stable..

You should read the sticky threads, and use xdas search for terms or definitions anytime you run into stuff you aren't familiar with.

[Q] I am destroying my tablet - Can some one help me ?

Hello. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T210 and i think i really screwed it up. I did not make any backup, that was mistake NR one.
I got clock work mode up and running but i cant install any ROM, have tried The original Firmware, RocketTab, Cyanogenmod and cant pass the installation process and i think i cant turn back cause i got no backup and no way to install it again.
When i run any of these ROMs i get this error :
format() expects 4 args, got 5

No matter what i do, im a a bit scared know cause i think i am really close on destroying the tablet.
Can any one help me ? give me tips ?
CWM that i am running is : T210_CWM.6.0.4.7.recovery that i downloaded frome the XDA forum.

A,
panic solves nothing.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/
when in doubt choose the most recent. zip or tar for odin.
for a rom i suggest svelte to get things straight.
then go from there.

Thank you for a quick answer, so i should change out CWM for Philz Touch ?
What is "Svelte" ? have no clue what that means.
What to have 110% solid answer before i go wreck some thing more.

Ah, of course.

svelte rom thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722582
great rom, minimal issues. philz advanced recovery is cwm with a good touch interface and more and very helpful options.
So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.

Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:

If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.

Won't Load Any ROM

Running TWRP, I have tried three different ROMs with no luck. It would fail to install SlimKat and CM. MIMU v5 would install but never make it past the mi.com splash screen. I wiped cache/dalvik/system/internal storage each time and tried both sideload and SD card installs same results every time. Is there something I missed along the way?

Make sure you're on the latest recoveries, twrp 2710, philz 6.48.4 on 6050, and cwm 6045.
Outdated recoveries will fail to flash Roms and if you're on an ICS Bootloader you'll get assert failures.
Have you tried PC ODIN back to stock TW and re-do the process from there?

I swapped TWRP for Philz and still get the same assert failure with CM. MIMU loads the same and gets stuck but now it vibrates every 10 seconds or so while sitting. Idk if I'm installing it right though. The older version says install GAPPS but the newer one does not. Maybe they forgot to mention it? I might try a stock ROM tomorrow just to see

okay for every AOSP rom you need to flash the gapps package that matches the Android number and just go back to stock and start over

Is your phone the Sprint version? Usually an assert failure is caused from trying to flash a rom that is not unified, like a Sprint rom being flashed to Boost. If a rom is not unified, and your trying to flash a Sprint rom on Boost/VM, you must remove asserts from the rom zip, then rezip, then flash. But definitely Philz advanced CM is the best. TWRP used to cause many assert failures for me.

This is the CWM-based Philz Touch Recovery with a shiny new kernel, SELinux tweaks, and some other modifications that enable it to run on the N910T and N910W8 out of the box.
May also run on the Sprint and AT&T variants, but make sure to have a copy of a working recovery handy in case you need to restore.

The initial version uses a kernel for the N910W8 and SELinux policy settings from the N910T. If that combination works for me, I can almost guarantee it will work on either of those devices because those values would not match up.

Thanks for your hard work. I'm happy to test if you need anything.

After a lot of building, rebuilding, reconfiguring, etc some new builds are finally up.
The current version only supports identifying itself as a T-Mobile device until fully tested.
Rather than modifying the existing European version for the US, this now fully source-built.

Help getting from stock rooted 4.1.2 to CM11/DU 4.4.4

I just dug up my Epic 4G Touch and wanted to breathe some life back into it. I rooted it way back in the day but always left it stock. Now I'd like to get CM11 or Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 on it with a custom recovery.
I've been doing a whole heck of a lot of reading trying to figure out how to avoid bricking my device in the process, but I'm still confused.
Device details
ROM: Stock 4.1.2
Baseband: S710.10 S.GB27
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1014481 [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 1 04:27:41 KST 2013
Build number: JZ054K.SPH-D710.GB27
I have PRV/fwrev 0x19, so I'm apparently "susceptible to the EMMC /data corruption issue (which should now be referred to as EMMC lockup issue)", but it looks like I have a Gingerbread modem, so maybe not?
What I can't figure out is if I can or should fix/work-around that with a PIT file. I'd rather not make a stupid mistake, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. What is my path to a custom Recovery + ROM (if any)?

I replied to your other thread, but maybe someone will else will see my answer here and help you further. I followed these directions. I'm sure it would work for you also, I have a MAG4FA 0x19 chip. Only problem is the links for the blasphemy kernel are dead so maybe someone can help you with that.

I just flashed philz_touch_6.19.3 recovery, rebooted, the flashed the CM11 nightly and gapps.

This package is for device: epic4gtouch,SPH-D710,d710,smdk4210,SPH-D710VMUB,SPH-D710BST; this device is smdkc210.
I just reparitioned, following these steps, including formatting my partitions, so now all I have is my CWM recovery and no ability to install anything .
Do I need to ODIN to a different version or something?

Shoot, didn't see your reply before @grimdirge. Thanks! However, that guide requires TWRP. How the heck do I get TWRP on this thing? I would love it if I could get an ODIN flashable TWRP, but all I can find are zips, which you need a custom recovery for (and I have the above mentioned problem installing zips), so I feel like I'm caught in a Catch-22.

You'll need to use this recovery:

The instructions show how to install a .img file using ADB, but the links are all to .zip files (without .imgs inside them). Just tried installing recovery-Lanchon-IsoRec-CM-6.0.5.1-20160112-d710.zip as well as recovery-Lanchon-IsoRec-TWRP-2.8.7.0-20160113-i9100-(by-arnab).zip from my CWM recovery. Both installations give me the wrong device error I mentioned above. Should I ODIN to something before trying this? Are there .img files or ODIN .tar files I can use to flash the recovery somewhere?
Sorry for all the questions. I've flashed hundreds of ROMs on 10s of devices. I've never had this kind of trouble before.

Got it!
Holy cow. I modified:
Code:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
To allow 'smdkc210' (apparently, my device).
I did that for all the .zip files I've collected during this process. FINALLY, I was able to install the philz recovery you recommended, and from there, I was able to install CM11! Thank you!

Yeah. This device is annoyingly complicated. Look here:

You'll need to install the latest CM11 nightly to get the isorec kernel.
I flashed the recovery-Lanchon-isorec-TWRP-3.0.2.0-D710.zip on the above link.

Never would have found that link on my own. Awesome. Feels good to have TWRP on my phone!

So something here, within this thread, has worked... and all the links are valid still? Welp, see you folks in 3 more days when I either give up, figure it out, or brick my phone beyond repair.
