the recovery i have is cwm 10.1
cwm-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5

Use twrp
+Bound for Valhalla!
+Did ya boy help? Gimmie a "thanks"! It's fast -one click- and!! It's free!!

cwm 10.1?? Think you may be confused with the CM 10.1 rom. There is no such version for CWM recovery but if you still face issues there even on the latest version then try moving to the latest TWRP and it should run through fine.

CWM and TWRP are separate recoveries man.. Flashing one will overwrite the other. Just choose which one you want.

TWRP is always recommended but it's all about personal preference. If you want my opinion I think TWRP is indeed better. It's got a much better UI and a lot easier to navigate, not to mention it's all touchscreen based.

Ok well this will be for my Samsung galaxy s3, so I just uninstall cwm and the install twrp?

Keep in mind that nandroids are recovery dependant so your current CWM backups will not be compatible with TWRP and same vice versa. If you're worried abput losing your backups what you could do is restore any CWM backup then flash TWRP and backup that ROM you had restored over to TWRP. You can do the same to all your CWM backups if you have any more but that'll take you quite a bit of time to do lol.

No need to uninstall. Like I said, just flash TWRP through Goomanager and it'll overwrite your current recovery.

I have the same issue
Hi I also tried to install PACMan rom in Galaxy R through TWRP latest version. It says
1. No cheksum files found.
2. Assert failed.
Then some conditions are being checked to identify the device name. That's why the assertion failed.

Cm 10.1.2

Irecently tried to flash cm10.1.2 the "stable" version of cm by I keep getting error 7. I am running the latest cwm recovery 6.0.3.1 and had no problem installing 10.1.1 a week or so ago. I have downloaded it multiple times just incase it was corrupted during the download and no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any feedback would be great
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

IIRC I had this issue a while back and it has to do with the bootloaders. Error 7 means (I think) it doesn't recognize something about your device so it stops before causing issues.
I had to go back to stock and then the flash worked fine.

You'll have to go back to a stock 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 ROM first. Then install CWM, and your ROM should install fine. I had the same issue, and this is my solution.

You don't have to flash a stock rom. Just flashing the bootloader is sufficient. No sense downloading a 1.1gb file if you don't have too.

The first line in your op was "I keep getting error 7"
The actual error on the screen is "status 7" we were both half right
That's all you need to search for. Status 7 isn't rom specific you can get it flashing any rom. These threads are for helping, and I don't mind doing it, its just a lot of people need to learn how to try to help themselves first.
There is an interesting video on the homepage for xda where they say "there are 5+ million users in the forums, chances are your problem is new " interesting watch.
Getting back to the issue at hand. If your recovery is up to date than it's your bootloader. The link I added gets you to where you need to be. Don't flash the MF1 (if on a Canadian carrier) though as some roms haven't changed the script to allow it to flash and you'd get the same issue.
Let me know if you're still stuck

[Q] CM 10.1.2 upgrade problems

Please don't tear me apart if this is the wrong thread...
So I'm currently running CM 10.0 and I'm trying to upgrade (through CWM) to 10.1.2 stable, but I am running into a status 7 error. I have done the following (In no particular order)
-made backup and wiped phone (including cache and dalvik cache)
-flashed the latest bootloader
-double checked MD5 sum and it was a match
-upgraded to most recent CWM
-tried fixing the assertions (as highonandroid suggests)
So what am I doing wrong?

Do a search for status 7
Because you've updated your cwm than your bootloader is out of date.

What do you mean do a search for status 7? I've searched all I can, those were all the solutions I came up with. First I updated CWM, then I fixed the assertions, then I redownloaded it for a clean start and then flashed the latest bootloader, and none of that worked.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Well my baseband changed when I flashed it (brace yourself for a potentially dumb question(s) ) so did I flash a bootloader or a modem? Also what's the difference?

You can have an old bootloader and have a newer modem.
Modem is your current baseband.
Here's an example. My bootloader is LK4 which is good for flashing and my modem (baseband) is MF1
Go in terminal emulator and type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
It'll tell you your bootloader if it's different than your baseband
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

And now is where I feel like an idiot...
The bootloader does not match my baseband, so since I am clearly incapable of flashing a new bootloader, can you provide me with a link that would help? Preferably one that could work with mobile Odin since access to a computer is limited for me right now

Search for a lokified version CWM 6.0.4.4 for g pro. You'll probably find it in Asian sites where KitKat has been already released.

4.4 ROM Flashing difficulties

Hello, I have been trying to flash a 4.4 ROM on my Optimus G for the longest. I am currently running a 4.3 but can't a stable one as well. Every time I try to flash a 4.4 TWRP almost instantly says fail every time even though it is the most updated version, does anyone know why this is?

Well, if you have the right TWRP, and are wiping /system, /data, /cache, /dalvic, I'd say bad dl , or your SD might be messed up.
That's the only reasons I can think of.

See if you can flash a stock ROM. Also, reinstall recovery. DL the one from Shelnutt2 on the codefire server. There's also a link for it in the root guide.
After reinstalling recovery, and if it'll install a stock ROM, try a 4.4 rom again. If it still fails, I'd say try wiping your SD.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
