[Q] CM10 flashing, first time question here

Hi, so I'm trying to make this quick so that i can install CM10 tonight...
so I rooted my phone tonight, did everything right and stuff, but I went to go download the CM10 nightly build for my phone which is the Rogers (Canadian version). So I download the d2att version, did a backup, wiped everything and I tried installing it using CWM-Based recovery v5.5.0.4. But when I tried install it gave me status 7 aborted. I installed cwm using odin3 v1.85, what am I doing wrong, am I trying to install the wrong version? Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm new to this stuff :/
thanks for any help

Can anyone explain to me how I can update CWM? I downloaded the latest img from their website, but idk how to install it...I'm really confused...and I really need help :crying:

Go look at QBKing77 videos on YouTube or QBKing77.com he has the best videos in my opinion and installing CM10 and CWM. I am on CM10.1 without any problems.

hmm, did you use the v5 recovery? Did it work, because the version i had was cwm 5.5 and I couldn't update because of system 7 error, which is because the CWM version was too old.
If possible, could you link me the one you used?

Ok..so now I installed TWRP and I tried flashing CM10 it still didnt work and gave me status 7 error and it says:
assert failed: getpro ("ro.product.device")
E: Error in /sdcard/cm- 10.....d2att.zip
Is this because with goomanager i installed it for the d2can version and now I can't install the d2att even though thats the only version i can use? goomanager only lets me get d2can...and when I try to install the never cwm recover img using android terminal it keeps giving me No such file or directory.
Can anybody help me with this...

have you tried flashing another ROM, like an-aosp or aokp-based one? If you followed their instructions, it may help you determine whether it was a bad download or something s more specific to your device. just throwing this one out there....

I just flashed AOKP and everything worked great! Thanks for that little suggestion! Custom ROMs are now my favorite!

If you want to flash a CM ROM you will need to be on the most current d2att recovery for either CWR or TWRP. If you were getting a status 7 error, I'm going to assume that you have a d2can phone.. make sure you have a d2att recovery and you'll be able to flash anything. ROM Manager will let you install CWR or Goo Manager will let you install TWRP (which is what I use).

I tried using TWRP but when I installed it through GooManager it installed the d2can version so I couldn't install CM10. Unless there is a way to manually select which TWRP version to install through GooManager, then I'm more or less stuck on CWM.
edit: Just got TWRP for d2att installed so now I can flash whatever I want, man TWRP seems a lot better than CWM!

Then most probably your download got corrupted. Download it again. And try to open the zip to see if its okay.

Try connecting to a computer and open the zip file and say what did you find. My download got corrupted 4 times when downloading through chrome. Try downloading via a download manager. But if it does not work even then, try using TWRP 2.7.1.0. You should find it high in the development section.

1.Try to open it in a PC with Winrar or Winzip to check that the archive is not corrupted....
2. Or u can try the other 4.4.x ROMs in development section...
3. Download the ROM with a download manager software like "Free Download Manager" with PC and open it, when u sure the archive is OK, send it to your SDcard and install
This is all I Know about your problem...

So the error shows that your ROM you've downloaded is corrupted since the download process. As I told u must download it in your PC with a Download Manager software, not with your browser. Then open it to see the archive has no problem. Send to your SD card and install it...

what recovery do you use? CWM or TWRP? I have problems flashing certain roms with certain recoveries, and as far as my experiences go, TWRP works flawlessly with ViperOne

It says it the ViperOne OP to use TWRP, and for good reason. There are issues with CWM, and Philzz is dead with no updates for a while.

I use twrp. ..

Try tom unzip the rom on your PC and if you are unable to unzip means it's a bad download and download the rom again and see how

The error

The zip file is working on PC. ..md5 is correct... I got the same error both with 2.7.0 and 2.8.1 twrp.

No problem with insert coin last rom...Any guess.?

I agree with DaveHTC200 that it's because you don't have TWRP 3.0.2 RC1.
Follow this to a T (or skip the parts you don't want) and you'll be up and running in no time.

Either the wrong TWRP or corrupt zip.
Should educate yourself a bit more to solve trivial issues like this.

I also had this issue at first and I was using an older TWRP. Should be resolved by updating like the other people said.

i was just having the same issue. start the phone up and create a pin in settings. that will allow twrp to decrypt the system and get access to whatever it needs. I have twrp 3.1.0 rc2 and that's what worked for me. I just installed Resurrection Remix. Don't forget to flash the twrp installer after flashing every new rom.

Question TWRP always gives this error when I try flashing a new ROM from a non-stock ROM

Let me explain the problem I'm facing, so basically I am able to flash ROMs normally via TWRP *if the stock MIUI ROM is there*, but if I am flashing one custom ROM over another (such as dirty flashing to update a ROM) or moving back to MIUI from the recovery zip, it gives me the following error -
Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode:: kInstallDeviceOpenError)
ERROR 1: Error installing zip file ROM.zip
Does anyone know why this happens?

Which rom and What is the installation procedure you're following for that particular rom?

Try the other TWRP version than u had already.
