What error does it give when it fails to flash a ROM? What ROM are you trying to flash?

ok i had twrp through goo manager, and i was able to make backups and install kernels just finel but when i tried a rom such as infamous it gave me the error, so i tried to install through micro sd card, no luck same error something about it not being mounted. So, i installed cwm and tried to make a backup but then i ran out of space, so the backup failed, so i had to delete some stuff, now im trying to back up again, then i will try to install a rom with cwm
this is so strange, i didnt do anytihng out of the ordinary, i got root by chainfire, then installed goo manager, and then a custom kernel...the most viewed one right now, so i thought it was legit which im sure it is, then a rom..... to end the madness, then i keep getting errors, its so frustrating

Ok, see, now that is getting to the meat. Try flashing another ROM... I understand you might just want Infamous, but try flashing another one just for testing purposes. I'm thinking you're one to add to the list of having a bad Infamous d/l.

I may be overboard with my suggestion, but it wouldn't hurt to Odin back to 100% stock and restart your journey.

Before you Odin back; are you still able to successfully flash any of the kernels you've downloaded? Also, if you downloaded any of the ROMs onto your computer, try browsing through the zips real quick on your computer.

Slow down, re-group, you are NOT going to brick...
First off, lets try some things, my first would be try a different recovery, copy a rom you want to the internal sdcard, then try. Bet it works.
I had a issue like this also, day 2 of my g4, pull the battery for 5-10 min, it seems the recovery gets confused and it will error.
another item to try...check to make sure the md5 file size is correct. common mistake, people for get to do a check.
try these, if you have the same issues, odin back to stock and start over.
Good luck. Your welcome.

Probably this...and a formatting of the internal storage couldn't hurt either to make sure everything is cleared out.
Hey I had same problem. Download through Firefox not reg browser. And for infamous use the last download link
Goomanger gave me 3 bad downloads. To test this theory try and open the zip through a file manager, it probably won't let you because of bad download.. Happened to me 4 times but stopped using stock browser to download those files and has been working ever since

so, thank you everyone for your replys in this matter. I did odin back to stock and guess what, i got stuck at the splash screen for t mobile. This never happened before with odin, it always worked 100 percent, this is the first time i odined back to stock and it broke my phone, so weird. So, im going to try again. I wil def use firefox next time, and twrp you said the latest is having problems?

k first rom i tried AOSP 4.0.3ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT-TORO BUILD8 so i wiped data factory reset and cache n dalvik and flashed the rom, it looks like it starts to flash but aborts with the message above, then i restored my nan backup rebooted and went back to cwm to reflash the second time around i only wipe data factory reset cuz thats what the op says to do on his thread so i only wipe data factory n flash the rom still same error, so i went to try another rom GUMMYNEX 0.2.3 and i did the same process with both im following the steps their stating in the op in have cwm
From what the error sounds like is that it doesn't think you have the correct device. You have a CDMA phone and not a GSM?

sure you are using the lastest CWM???
sure you are rooted??
did you try downloading the files from another puter??
i think i might know what the problem is my cwm says 5.5.0.2 and im looking here at somebody posted in the development section for a cdma cwm and it says 5.5.0.4 could that be the problem? if so how do i redo my recovery, follow the same steps i did my first one, i downloaded and extracted the files to my c drive and opened cmd and typed the commands, can i do that again while having already cwm to flash the new cwm on top of the old one? if thats the problem

Hi guys. I have a huge problem. Few minutes ago I tried to install CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG by use CWM v5.0.2.7. Everything appeared to be ok, but when phone reboot I just can see white word ANDROID on a black background and nothing more. Phone just stop on this screen. Is there any resolution for my problem? I modded lot of phones, this is my first crash. Thx for every advice. Bye
Same issue. Is there a way to restore to stock firmware without odin? Such as from the recovery console?
If before you had an official rom, you must use the ext4 formatter. I think you'll find it in the thread! Hope to be useful

Have you downloaded gio_v1.0.ops?
That may cause the "an unnamed file was not found" problem
all you need to do is "wipe data/factory reset" ... i didn't use any ext4-formatter and it works well..

I have this issue too.
Im new to android but I followed the thread, I:
Root
install CWM, then nandroid backup
flash CM7 in CWM
I downloaded the CM7 KANG file and tried several times, thinking file might be corrupt. Same problem.
Unfortunately my backup didn't work, so I'm ordering a Jig to fix my phone.
But I'd like to know what went wrong.
I didnt reformat my SD card with 4ext though, should I have?
Thanks

I really hate to start a new thread but I really can't find a reason/solution to this issue. It's just as the title says. I tried flashing the MIUI ROM just as any ROM and got a failed error. Then went to do my nandroid restore and it just hangs on the splash screen (boot screen). Anyway I thought there could be a bad download so I took out the SD and redownloaded synergy on my laptop, then put it back in the phone and nothing but the nandroid should let me restore. I even tried moving the files to the internal SD and nothing. The only thing I can think of is to Odin back to stock? Is it the same method as rooting? I'm sure I can find that out, but I'm just confused why it seems TWRP doesn't want to work. Thanks for any help, it's 4 a.m. here and I'm dog tired.
Are you on the latest TWRP?
If all else fails you could go back to stock and root again.

Can I just reflash recovery from the state I'm in, or do I still need to unroot? I've moved some of my files to the ext SD within recovery but some things won't move and I really don't want to wipe it.

Do you mean reboot recovery? I can't reboot system. Sorry, not trying to split hairs, just trying to be specific.
Odin back to stock seems like the best option.
Sent from a galaxy note 2 far far away...
are you able to flash a different rom, say a stock rom? It's possible you got a corrupted TWRP download.
Since they just released another update 2.4.3, you might want to try and download the zip file, wipe cashe and davick (may want to do it three times). Reboot back into TWRP 2.4.3 and see if it gives you some better luck.
I've had Nandroid backup that didn't work for whatever reason. I didn't test it prior to needing it, and got burned. It just wouldn't show up in the restore menu.
On a side note, what error did you get when you tried flashing MIUI?
Try rebooting recovery when you are in recovery already once before flashing/restoring anything anything.

Ok, I was'nt sure. I just went back to stock. I just wanted to know what exactly was going on and why.
The only thing different on my phone is I got a 32 gig SD card. I transfed some of my files a couple days before doing anything of this. That's the only thing I can think of. Even after root/unroot it STILL won't do my nandroid restore. I had so much time and work into the apps I set up, games, ect. Really freakin sucks. I even went into the the TWRP backup folder and made sure the backup files were there before doing anything. I never even got to flash many ROMs, I kinda just stayed on Jellybomb.
I had the uTorrent app installed and I noticed that it changed a lot of files with the "u" in front that the uTorrent app has. Anyone know why that is?

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

Got CWM back on but now I cannot flash SuperUser

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:

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.

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...

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..
