Ok so it's been a while since I've done any new ROMs or anything, mainly did things on my GS2 but now going with the GS3 and have been for a little bit now. It's all rooted and everything fine, but I decided to finally install the CM10 ROM and am having a difficult time. I finally got it to install and boot up (had a slight issue with the boot loop which I got passed) but now my home screen says Sprint on the bottom. Maybe I downloaded the wrong CM10 zip? Or maybe they're all like this but I didn't think it was. On to the bigger problem, no mobile connection. I'm able to restore to my backed up status so that's what I'm going with for now but I'd really like to get this working. Any suggestions? Have I supplied enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks to anyone that can give me some direction here.
You flashed the wrong zip.
for AT&T you need d2att http://get.cm/?device=d2att
If you need a different carrier then ATT try checking the CM10 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270

Thank you for that! Will that solve the network problem too? Seems like something like that would solve my problem all together. Anything else I should know?

yeah it should if not go back to complete stock and try again.
If none of that works check in settings, about phone and make sure your imei number is still intact (not showing zeros).
Ok so my IMEI is still intact but that zip for AT&T didn't work, I got an error. I cleared cache and user data and chose it from my internal memory, not sure what the issue is except maybe my CWM is outdated? Wasn't sure if it'd be a problem but maybe that's it. Any other suggestions?

Might be an APN issue. Try adding the APN for your carrier and see if your data works. What error are you getting when you try to flash the at&t version?

Ok so I figured it out and fixed it! All I had to do was update my CWM with ROM Manager like I thought I might have to do. I saw another thread with a similar issue, too so I guess this is somewhat common. Gotta update everything when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for all the responses though, I appreciate it.
Somehow I didn't see the replies telling me to update CWM before I.posted that I figured it out. Either way, I'm currently running it and all is awesome so far. If anyone has suggestions on specific things to do now?

Hi there, i've been having issues trying to install cm10 since last week and it's been frustrating. After doing hours of search I found a thread that says I should reinstall cwm recovery. I've tried doing this with rom manager from google play but it didn't work. It says, make sure you have stable internet connection and that your sd card is installed and working. Now, do have to Odin again to flash the newest clockworkmod recovery. If not how do I do then cuz I keep getting aborted and every time have to restart system and set it up all over. by the way my phone is a galaxy s3 i747 android 4.0.4 rooted cwm 5.5.0.4. thanks

If that's the case I'd probably completely go back to stock and root with the updated CWM. Kind of a pain but might be your best bet. Updating for me was the solution. Try that and let me know how it goes.

Hey guys, I just rooted my S3 and I was looking forward to installing the CM10, but when I several errors while doing so. First of the error was when I tried to factory reset using CWM, it skipped a certain step; iirc it had something to do with mounting. The other error was when I wanted to install CM10. There was an error saying something aboutassets and that the installation was aborted. Am I missing anything?
Also, I started using Android a few months ago so I may not be familiar with some terms. Thanks guys!
I will post the exact error when I get to try again.
I have a very similar problem. CWMRecovery just doesn't seem to click for my device (SGH-T999v). My recommendation is to re-install recovery.
Two easy ways to do this that I can think of: #2 is easier I think, but most people use CWM, so whatever u want.
1. a) Sticking with CWM. Get an app called Mobile Odin Lite here. Install that on your phone.
b) Download the latest version of CWMRecovery FOR YOUR PHONE from their site here. (I copied the link for SGH-T999 for you here.)
c) Put the file on your device, open up Mobile Odin Lite, select the recovery.img in the appropriate spot, and go ahead and flash it to your phone
2. Install TWRP instead. Go over to the play store and install GooManager. You can use it to install TWRP touch recovery (and do a bunch of other stuff).
Now if you haven't made a backup already, DO SO NOW. Boot into recovery, select backup, and make that hang.
Now, it sounds like your getting a status 7 error. This is often a problem with old versions of CWM, so hopefully now this isn't a problem. Go ahead and try to flash your ROM. If you continue to get the error, here's how to fix it, just be cautious.
What's happening is the script that is being run to flash the ROM is checking if your device is the exact build that the ROM was intended for. The following is how to skip this check, SO BE 100% SURE THE ROM YOU HAVE IS FOR THE PHONE YOU HAVE. Check in your phone /system/build.prop that ro.product.device = d2tmo (or d2can if your canadian on WIND Mobile). Check t
a) Open up the zip file your trying to flash on your computer.
b) Navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android/, open up updater-script.
c) Take out the first line, it should say " assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"); " If it says d2 something else, than this ROM is not for your device. stop here and get CM10 from here.
d) Save the changes, make sure the changes are saved in the file in the .zip.
e) Flash the ROM. You won't get the error, since it's not going to check for your build.
Remember, do this with the wrong ROM and you just soft-bricked your device.
Good Luck, I hope this was helpful

Thank you so much! It turns out that my CWM was not updated, and I think that caused the problem. I updated it and it seemed to work fine.
I have rooted/flashed numerous phones and have only ever had issues with this phone. Anyways, enough with the intro...
history: had cm10 running fine but decided to try some ICS roms for better battery life / tethering with 4g still active.
-------
So I used odin 1.85, and have flashed StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5. This gets me CWM recovery 5.0.2.7, from here i tried to flash cm9 experimental build beta1 or something like that and it gives me a status 7.
I tried restoring a backup I had made previously but it failed saying mm blk9 or something like that. I believe these don't work because i had updated to the latest CWMR for the e4gt, but during flashing those custom ICS ROMS they flashed their own recovery
Odin appears to be the only thing that actually recognizes my phone. I can't get fastboot or adb to work in download mode. I believe fastboot should work. I mention this because the one click rooting methods sit waiting for me to plug in my phone.
I do have access to the SD card, so if i can get a ROM that CWMR 5.0.2.7 will flash i can put it on the card and try that. But again thats how i got to cm10 was from first installing this cm9 beta build.
Any ideas or useful info i left out that may help please let me know!

I do not know much but it looks like the cm9 rom that you downloaded is a bad download, go back to Odin 1.85 and flash StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5. again and flash your cm10 rom or another rom to get back on track

I know I am trying to flash the proper cm10 rom (the one that worked before) because its the only cm10 rom on my SD card.
I'm pretty sure I followed this guide to make it all happen.
Is there a way i could flash the latest CWM recovery using ODIN? Then I would think this recovery would be able to restore my backups
Odin this:

Successfully used odin to flash this. I then tried using the cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery again to install cm9 and cm10, but both failed saying
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d710" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d710" || ..........
+several other options. I'm going to try another cm9 tonight unless anybody has another ROM suggestion *hint*hint*
I then tried to restore my backups, which said they couldn't find system/data. So then i tried advanced restore and selected boot which went fine, system gives my this:
Code:
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9"

For what its worth, now that I am back to where I originally started...
The CM10 I was flashing was putting CWM v6.0.1.7 (i believe) on my device. I made my backup using this and was able to restore to this after a failed boot of my CM10 downloaded ROM.
At this point, i then flashed the latest officially supported CWM version as reported from the cwm site. I then made another backup, this time using CWM v5.0.2.7 and now feel more comfortable/confident having the ability to re-flash this guy.
So, I recently rooted my i747 and used Odin to load CWM v5.5.04 on my phone. I backed everything up, and proceeded to get into recovery to flash a new ROM, so I wiped as needed and I cannot install a ROM.
Particularly, this ROM: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-i747-jelly-bean-paranoidkangdroid-rom-143982/
This comes up whenever I try:
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att"
E:Error in /sdcard/PAC Man/ PK-1.40-d2att.zip

It also happens when I try installing PAC Man.

First of all, take a deep breath. It can get pretty frustrating and that's when you make mistakes that lead into a brick.
You might wanna look into a newer CWM or TWRP (GooManage in the market).
Have you tried flashing another ROM? Also, did you grab the version for the i747?

Here is the issue. This version is outdated. CWM is on 6 point something now. Load the latest version and you should be able to flash the ROM of your choice. :highfive:

Get in download mode and flash stock. From there, get GooManager from the market, open it, hit menu and install the recovery. Finally, you can get in recovery and flash the ROM + Gapps you want.

If you want to stick with cwm, flash stock s3 firmware and root again. Boot up, download rom manager and "update recovery". That will install version 6.0.2.3

One thing though, uninstall ROM Manager afterwards and don't use it for anything else than installing the custom recovery if you decide to go with CWM instead of TWRP.
I was planning on using Goo Manager after restoring my only nandroid backup, but it's corrupt.... Go Figure. :crying:
Anyway, I'm a bit confused on what is trying to be meant by flashing stock in download mode...
How does one go about doing that?

This happens because you most likely have a i747m (Canadian S3). I have had this problem before and it is easy to fix. The recovery checks to see if you a flashing the right rom for your device, and it sees that the rom is an At&t one. Easy fix though, go into a file manager, I used total commander, and find the rom you are trying to flash, click the file, then META-INF>com>google>android> and then long press on updater-script. Unpack+edit, and delete the first line, which refers to it being an At&t rom. Save the file, reboot and make sure the change sticks, then flash away!
I live in the US, and I am on at&t. I did, however, order a refurb model.
Is it possible I could have gotten a Candian Model?
As of now, I am downloading the at&t stock rom from sammobile.com and I plan on installing it via Odin and then re rooting, followed by a Titanium Backup, then installing Goo Manager to get the latest CWM Recovery, finally getting my ROM on and I'll finish it off with a Titanium Backup.
Sounds like a 4-5 hour process. Awesome.
I just like to write everything down before I do it. Thanks so much guys!

Definitely not that long of a process unless it's the download time.
Twrp comes from goo manager and titanium backup is apps. I think you meant nandroid.
I'm not trying to nitpick misunderstanding the processes and steps are a quick way to a brick.

No, no, I understand. TWRP is what I meant, and since my nandroid is corrupt, I'm just going to restore the apps with Titanium.

This is what I personally would do
1st. Odin to a stock rooted ROM
2nd. Once its all booted up download GooManager from play and install the recovery directly from GooManager (make sure its the correct recovery for your device. Its TWRP recovery)
3rd. Once installed reboot into recovery
Wipe, install, fix permissions, the whole 9
4th. Victory
I would recommend TWRP over CMW
Very few bugs, it fixes your internal partitions when going back and forth from 4.1 to 4.2 and making Nands is 1million times faster then CMW .. No status 7 or 0 errors

Does your phone boot up normally now, as is? If so, all you need is the new recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1739426
Starting from THIRD step, you can either use adb or grab a terminal emulator from the play store.
Really, only takes a couple minutes. Copy recovery.img file to your phone's internal /sdcard and then run the adb commands.
Erm, not exactly, I have a stock file for my phone (no root, but my speeds are so slow I'll just go through rooting again)
Odin can't load it.
So now I have a phone that can't boot.
What should I do with this tar.md5 file I have, exactly?
I'm lost here

Remove the ".md5" from the file name so it ends with ".tar" and ODIN should load it correctly.... maybe, hold on.
edit: How did you attempt this first? Does ODIN give any error messages?
Here is ODIN procedure:
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the rom_xxx.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
T989 without any SD card in it, the one I had died apparently new one on order. Went to flash the latest PA rom but kept getting error 7 using CWM. I updated my recovery to the latest TWRP and still will not flash. I tried updating to the newest radio UVMC6, but that wont flash. I am currently on CM10.1 nightly. My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

For onw those superwipe scripts are not needed with twrp, u might be getting the error from that, are u trying to flash from internal SD card since ur external died? That might cause it but I don't think so, I would suggest trying a manual wipe of all partitions, data, system, cache, dalvik, 2x , then flash, if that doesn't work try using Odin, go back to stock and start over, that should fix it definetly

Thank you... I wasnt sure about superwipe on TWRP since I just put it on and came from CWM. I am trying to flash from the internal card and the new external card will be at my doorstep tomorrow so I will drop that in as well. I will drop back in once I get all this done and hopefully all goes well.
Again thanks.

Ok so I got my new SD card. Tossed that in, just figured I would try flashing from the external, no luck there. Same issues.
Odin back to stock using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359&page=3
Used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 this to regain root.
Got CWM back on but now I cannot flash SuperUser
When I go to flash Superuser it says
Mounting System
Deleting System:bin/su...
Deleting System:xbin/su
Extracting files to SYSTEM
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...
Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...
E: Error in /emmc/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted
So on the plus side I didn't brick the phone... downside now I am back to Gingerbread and currently stuck here...
Possibly a bad zip file?
Any ideas on this?
Quick update... I am a moron... Did not realize that root is kept with this restore... Got Superuser from market and am good to go.
Installing TWRP now and will have an update on the flash soon.
OK... the fun seems to have just begun
I cannot install TWRP from GooManager. No clue why, looking on here and I found //techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules (cant link too new of a member)
So as it seems I can download the .img and GooManager should see it and if that doesnt happen I can install it through the terminal with these commands
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
OR flash it with ODIN... Which I would assume I get the .tar file and follow the same process as putting the recovery files in?
Aside from TWRP being an issue, I tried installing the PA rom with CWM and I got this:
Installing update
set_perm:some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/pa_hercule...zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
The same error I had in the first place

I'm not sure what your overall problem is, but if you are going to install TWRP do not use Goo Manager or the img file. They have been messing up peoples phones. Odin the tar or try the zip from the TWRP thread.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

If you can boot into TWRP, then they must have fixed the Goo problem.
It seems like you have tried most everything. Maybe you should Odin back to stock. If you are comfortable doing it, that is.
i went to flash with goo last night and it bricked the phone kind of, i had to ODIN and reflash the CWM again and bam the phone rebooted no problem

I did Odin back to stock before. I am still on stock gingerbread right now with root access and am getting the errors I have been. I followed the tutorials in the sticky thread that I posted before that got me back to stock.
Within TWRP I tried installing the newest Cyanogen Mod and got
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
When I try installing the PA rom I get the same error
Any thoughts? Would going back to stock through Odin and doing this again potentially fix it? or is that a shot in the dark?
Lucky for me I kept a backup saved on my PC from before I did anything here. So I am back to the CM 10.1 Nightly I started on for the time being.
Is there any other method of flashing a rom that I might be able to try?

It would be a shot in the dark. I did a Google search for your error and a couple of people said they were able to fix it by using TWRP 2.3. That was for different phones though. Maybe try that before going stock.
I am by no means a pro at this and am still learning as I go. Just to make sure of what I am doing, can I Odin TWRP 2.3? I also found this

Just a thought here... I keep gettin emmc errors... I was reading about upgrading and downgrading TWRP through the Terminal Emulator and it said use emmc or sdcard depending on what the phone reads it as.
When I first got the phone i recall seeing emmc when i would go into any file browser. Now it just says sdcard0 (internal) & sdcard1 (external)
So how can I get recovery to stop looking for emmc and start looking for sdcard0?
Unless I am way off in left field here with this.

Yes, use Odin and the 2.3.3.0 tar from the techerrata website. I like using the Odin method because I have never had a problem upgrading recovery that way. I don't know about the emmc errors because I have only used the dd method like twice.
Edit: Maybe your internal memory is corrupted? I'm not sure how to test for that though.

I think u must be getting bad DL then because none of that sounds right lol, if u got twrp to load into your device and all is working fine then the only other option is a bad DL, try checking the DL with a root browser or something to see the size of the file, status 7 errors are from the zip, usually bad install script in the ROM, which could be caused by a bad DL, check the DL size and let me know

went back to 2.3.3 and still having the same error.
Is there a way to correct any possible errors in my internal memory?

If the DL is good, I don't know what else to tell u that is very strange indeed, but interesting too, I've never not been able to install at all, I'm curious..
