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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
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!

If you look in the original development section you will see some unofficial ports.
Do some xda and Google searching to find out why we don't have it yet.

yeah I'm hella pissed that ClockWorkRecovery is a worthless piece of crap on the NoteII unlike my Atrix where it worked fine. When I go into cwm and go to clear data it restarts and I charged to 100% and it still restarts. One time it didn't restart and I backed up my current rom and it was successful. I forgot to backup with titanium back and so I cleared data and restored my original backup prior to clearing data to install cm10 and upon reboot it was like a stock rom i think the hybrid and the camera didn't even work. So it cleared all my personal data and didn't restore ****. I'm so mad now I have to do a whole bunch of work to get it back to normal.
What's up with CWM for Note 2? Why doesn't it backup EVERYTHING like my ATRIX and HTC HD2 would do no problem...
Now I can't clear data since everytime I do it, it restarts every single time... CWM - based recovery v6.0.1.4-jb Modify by xiaolu
Can I flash a better working version that actually works and backup correctly and restores all data...?
Use TWRP. It's much better.

I couldn't find any links but just did a search of all of xda and found the official site now I've downloaded it. Only problem is my os won't boot and my sd card is ntfs and the recovery i have doesn't read my internal sd card...
Phone wont boot at all?
The best way to get twrp is to download goo manager from the Playstore and install it from that app. (Recovery script option)
Sent from the Bacon Pope's Galaxy Note 2
It hangs on the Hybrid screen forever so i just now install cm10 with no wipe data just to get into the os so i can copy the right files to the internal sd card for twrp etc
So now i can't get it to work at all it just hangs on the CyanogenMod screen. Does TWRP work with ntfs cards in recovery?? I hope so. Because it's stupid how it can mount usb storage and see my ntfs sd card on my pc but then i can't browse to install zip it says cannot mount. When It just got done mounting it to the pc and it worked fine.
Anyway now I'm screwed can't do anything except maybe format my 64gb sd card and I really don't want to do that.
Twrp accepts adb. You can push files to it if youre stuck in twrp.

So does TWRP accept ntfs external sd cards?
Anyway I had to freakin reformat my 64gb card to fat32 and put the files on and i put on the latest and the Team win pops up when i do a volume up menu and power then it restarts... Never goes into TWRP.... HELP
TWRP doesn't even work I did exactly as it says here on the site :
Install using your existing recovery like you would any other zip.
Reboot and select TWRP from the boot menu.
There is no menu upon boot what the hell are they talking about? I hold volume up, menu, power and I see the Teamwin then it restarts ..... WTF?!?
Download goo manager. Install it that way.
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
Okay my phone is screwed i installed twrp in clockworkmod and it doesnt work i see teamwin then it reboots so im doing odin mode now and it does the same thing... prior to me doing all this cwm was rebooting as soon as i clear data and so I couldnt clear data and i cant boot to android or anything so CAN SOMEONE PLEASE help me do a Fresh ODIN install of TWRP PLEASE? thank you
I flashed back to cwm6-root-note2.tar and i Can At least get into recovery without it messing up and restarting like Worthless TWRP does. Anyway when I go to clear data the phone Restarts...
Don't install from cwm. I think you got it working. But I would Odin flash stock and start over. If you still have issues I would say your phone has something going on. But if you can't prove it, att won't trade. And flashing incorrectly(not official Samsung software) isn't allowed lol
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
So let me get this straight.
Your pissed because:
A.) Free CWM isnt working to your liking
B.) Free "lame stock modded rom's" are lame
C.) You've been here for 2 years and cant find where the AOSP Roms are
Sorry your free stuff doesnt bend over backwards for you
In another thread...complaining about the same thing...he says he got TWRP working. Didn't respond to my question as to what he did yet though. But the negative attitude towards something going wrong isn't going to solve the issue. Relax. Remember that both CWM and TWRP have disclaimers that if you don't know what you're doing and you screw your phone up during the install, you do it at your own risk and they're not liable, especially when many of us have installed CWM and TWRP many times in different devices without problems.
For me to get my phone working had to re-partition with a pit file for my sgh-i317 then installed stock rom then went to stock recovery cleared data etc then flashed twrp and install jellybeer cm10 which is working great.
so i am running Galaxy Mod rom on my phone, and loved since the day i flashed it. but since i flashed it ive noticed certain things that turn me off to it. (SORRY to the maker). so im looking to put another rom on my phone, BUT!, no matter what computer i connect to cannot get another rom onto my phone, it says it can be put on there, that the device is malfunctioning. i tried a different data cable, a different computer, and putting it on my sc card, it wont reconize or even see the sd. i downloaded straight from the site, cannot find the rom in recovery. i looked in every file and fold on my phone, im thinking the rom is locking me out, it is having its issues as well, the time dissaprears, the status bar force closes, freezes, contacts freeze up and force close, phone calls are dropped.
i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

I don't see where he "explicitly" states internal SD card he just said SD card or external SD card.

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work

Sunday my phone said "android system recovery 3e failed to mount" I can still odin with the computer and get into recovery but nothing on my flash card is readable and that is where all my roms are located. Sprint tech played with it for an hour said it was bricked and they couldn't do anything. Yesterday I realized hope because I could still flash odin it just wouldn't recognize my card. I kept getting the fallen over droid with red print saying not installed. I kept flashing all different one click's and even at one point wet my pant's because my phone now said on rebott Galaxy I9000 which when I did this before I was totally bricked.
I reformatted my sd card and odin one click from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
then my phone rebooted with stock gb27 then to make sure everyting was good I updated the software from Samsung's website and my phone has benn great since yesterday 3:00 pm. I'm hesitant from rooting agian since this would have been the 4th bricked E4GT and I've got until 12/13 before upgrade. Running stock has been good otherthan me being a tablet mode junkie.
In closing I think what did the best was reformatting my sd card, I'm not sure what happens when doing that but I did acces my card from my computer and take my important files off 32gb card before formating in case I lost items. Didn't end up loosing anythining but i'm a junkie not an expert.

Everything on my internal and external storage remained intact. I just vol down power button to get into download mode and odin form the link http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166.
It actually booted not for sure why this link was different than the others however it worked. After this installed and I set the phone up I then went to samsungs site and did the update from themevice(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean)).
It works fine now funny thing sprint tech's said to only update software through kies and it never worked for me.
Main question's everyone asked me was: What screen freezes, how far can you get it to boot, can you see your sd card, when it doid crashes trying to install what color is the print and what exactly does it say?
