Agreed....but from this picture...your file structure is a freaking mess...
Are you wiping the device between flash attempts ??
Recovery is seeing all kinds of messed up stuff...and recovery is likely borked as well...
First and foremost...get an EFS file backup and put it on your PC....
Then wipe all data and caches...(from recovery only...DO NOT NAND ERASE USING ODIN) !!!
Then reflash your recovery...(odin)
Preferably TWRP latest version...(odin)
Then download CM to your PC....not phone...
Then place the downloaded rom to your sd card via USB connection...
Then boot to your new recovery and flash it....+ gapps...
Then boot the device with the fresh rom and wipe caches and data again...Then reboot...
Wow that's a lot of errors in the FS....but following the above information should help immediately....g

You can't mount anymore in recovery yet. I would go into download mode flash cwm and restore your backup that way

If you still have access to your custom recovery then go to freeza's thread and download one of his Stock ROMs.

how would i put that on my sd card tho?
Take your sd card out and put it in a micro SD to SD adapter if your computer has a SD slot. B. Use another phone and put your SD card in that. C. Rule of thumb always make backup and if you did just go to restore and restore your saved ROM. D. Use Odin and restore that way YouTube a Qbking video about flashing threw Odin.

What is the version of CWM you are using?
Have you tried flashing a new or different recovery, like TWRP maybe?
What is the exact process you are using when the installation fails?
Go here and download TWRP 2.4.4.0 & CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 - place them on your external sd card via the above described method/s then try flashing the CWM recovery and then rebooting to recovery. Now try flashing a Stock ROM (make sure you're checking the MD5 to verify a good download) if that doesn't work then try the TWRP recovery, etc...

Try holding Volume Down, home, and the Power buttons. This will get you into download mode. Then Odin a stock TAR file using a method displayed in QBKing77's videos. Search around, you'll find something. If you're still unable to find anything after a while, give me about an hour and I'll help. Good luck!

This is going to make sound kind of dumb, atleast very uninformed anyway, but, is my phone rooted now? or did the factory resest somehow get rid of the stock rooted rom that i had last flashed?
my phone has android version 4.1.1 on it now, it just downloaded 4.1.2 i think. Should I let that install?
Thank you guys very much for wasting your time helping a newb like me, it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
GK
Check supersu or superuser if it is installed and it will twll you if you have root. Factory reset from recovery will not remove root. As for updating to 4.1.2, that is up to you. The update may not go through if you have root access, but there are other ways to update if you want to.

supersu is on my phone and it appears to be rooted (I think.)
When flashing a rom such as paranoid android, do i have to do it from a specific andoid version on phone? If I don't need to be in 4.1.2 to flash the PA rom that is based on 4.2, then I won't bother with the update.
Thank you,
GK
It doesn't matter what firmware you are flashing it from. If you are going to paranoid you don't need to update.

thanks again for everything,

After flashing paranoid you will likely be met with more force closes or even be stuck at boot logo. Just wipe again and you should be set. Good luck.

Paranoid android installed and working 100% (as far as I can tell, haven't done much yet.)
Looks and seems amazing so far, runs very smooth, hope battery life is decent as well.
I got rom manager from the playstore as well to make switching roms easier.
Quick questions about the Gapps package I got though, will that be compatitble with any rom? Or do roms always have their own Gapps pack assoiciated with them.
Thank you again its been a hell of a ride this morning.
Sincerely,
GK
You just need to be sure that your gapps package is for 4.2.2 or 4.1.x or which ever AOSP Rom you chose. There are not different gapps for each style of rom.

Your not bricked,God Mode however is very tricky to use,i had loads of problems with it,but some don't.The best thing to do is download or stick an existing recovery on the root of your sd card,boot into the bootloader and reinstall the recovery,it wouldnt hurt to parttiton your sd card either.Then install another rom.Theres is no more support for Synergy,so its better to stay away from old tweaks and mods,unless you know what your doing.

What recovery and verision of it are you using? for 4.3+ roms you need CWM 6.0.3.7+ or TWRP 2.6.1.0
I´m also having this problem. I can't flash any ROM. I went back to stock and tried again with those versions of recovery but nothing.

Dont worry i've been using my phone with official 4.1.2 for the moment haha, i want to install the United Basics Rom 4.4 and i found the twrp 2.6.1.0 can i use that? or i need 2.6.0.0?
It looks like according to the author of United Basics ROM, he's running 2.6.3.1, at least that's what his signature says.
DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
ROM: United Basics v4.0
RECOVERY: TWRP 2.6.3.1
