So I am having trouble flashing a new ROM I have done it in the past and am used to doing it so I know what needs to be done. When I download a ROM I want to use I download it to my phone directly then I reboot into recovery I have the latest twrp version and I wipe everything then I go to install the ROM and after about 2 seconds it says failed. No matter what ROM I try it does this and I've tried downloading them several times thinking it was a bad download. I was able to install a stock one but I don't like stock and none of the others are working I don't known if I'm doing something wrong or if its my phone but help me please. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct TWRP Recovery for your phone?
Yes I am. It was doing it on an older version I had so I thought it was cause I hadn't updated in a while and it still kept doing it after I updated.

Hi there
1) Are you from Canada and using a Canadian Recovery for d2can? if so this could be a problem since many updater-scripts see this a fail since they are looking for d2att
2) What ROM's are you trying to flash? AOSP or Stock based touchwiz rom's?
also I would like to direct you to the Q&A, Help and troubleshooting forum, in the event that this post get's moved, you will find it there. They are busy people, but now you know no hard feeling man, just trying to make their job's easier!
cheers
Thanks a lot! And no I'm in the usa and aosp ROMs are what I'm trying to install the stock touchwiz ones worked.

So I was happy to read the Tmo GS3 finally getting JB and even happier when my phone pulled it.
However I cannot get it to install.
I'm full stock ROM. I did root via "debugfs-based Root for Galaxy S III"
The first time it failed I remembered I had programs frozen.
Unfroze them, still failed.
So I uninstalled my SuperUser app and told it to remove root.
Both Root Checker and Titanium Backup show no root access.
Update still fails.
Am I missing a step here? Or am I looking at resetting the phone to update it?

Also tried with debug on and off, but Kies complains when it's off.

Ugh, I cant stand kies, personally. Never use it. Imo there is a much better, safer, nore efficient method.
You are rooted so im assuming you want to stay that way correct?
Go to the firmware thread in my sig and towards the top of the op you will see a section called root66.
Download the latest root66 firmware. Extract the file using 7zip, it should be a .tar.md5 file.
You will use Odin to flash this. If you arennt familiar with Odin, go to the 2nd post to download the latest vrrsion, 3.07. Below that you will find instructions for many different methods, find the flash in Odin one and follow the steps.
The root66 firmware is identical to the stock released by T-Mobile, except it comes pre-rooted, so you wont have to worry bout it after!
Good luck whichever way you go!

Op of that thread will tell you to do exactly what I just did a post or so ago. Just sayin that you should update your firmware before flashing custom roms.
Not required, but recommended for running the jb roms. Otherwise you dont get the full update.
Firmware via odin will update 10 partitions, custom roms only 2-3 on average.

Stock with root. Really have no interest in 3rd party ROM's unless it's Nexus style vanilla.

Tried with my laptop, still failed.
For whatever reason, stock rooted then unrooted ROM did not want to be updated either way.
Ended up going with the root66 JB option and ODIN.
Honestly was trying to avoid it, but it was really no hassle and the deed has been done.
Now to get back to restoring everything.

Instead it said "E: signature verification failed" and just rebooted and asked me to setup my phone from scratch with the current rom.The rom that I have now is stock rogers rom pre-rooted jellybean 4.1.1.
What am I doing wrong? I've read something about a "clockwork recovery image," what is that? Please help.

A) never assume
B) unfortunately you won't get any sympathy for not reading up first.

OK. I'm still not sure what that means. But what I did was flash the stock ROM for Rogers 4.1.1 that comes pre-rooted. My next objective is to get the S4 rom on it. I guess I'll just download Rom Manager and install that then save the S4 ROM to the micro sd and flash like that. I wanted to avoid putting it on the micro SD, though.

But isn't the rooted version of the stock Rogers ROM that I just flashed a custom ROM? I didn't flash it in recovery. I just put my S3 in download mode and did it through Odin.
I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

I'm doing a factory reset--> "swipe to wipe". Do I need to do something else?

Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g

I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)

You do realize that in your last thread you was told to give more info and yet you post another with the same thing. What boot loader? What kernel? What have you done so far? Are you rooted? Did you upgrade to 4.4 and then try to downgrade to 4.3? More information of the few guys who do help are just gonna ignore you.

TWRP's website specifically says that goo doesn't work with the Note 3. Download the 2.7 recovery and push it with odin.

"Goo manager has been removed due to incompatibility issues with bootloader. Please install by one of the next 3 methods."

No need to Google . the answers are right here. In original development you have both working recoveries.
