I have the Galaxy S III SGH-i747m model on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM on the Canadian Rogers network. (I live in BC)
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to install a custom ROM. I have rooted and installed Super User, and have flashed the TWRP Recovery ROM v2.4.1.0 I still have the stock kernel and haven't mucked around in the permissions besides installing SuperUser SU app from Google Play store. Right now, I have managed to wipe out my entire internal storage. I have everything backed up on the google server, so I'm not too worried, but I have no OS right now. Regardless, I have tried many times with many different custom ROMs, and everytime I get a Status 7 error and a failed ROM flash. I have been trying for weeks to find out what I'm doing wrong, but can't seem to find anything that works. Can anyone please help me out with a step by step guide to install a custom rom? Heck, even to re-install my stock ROM would be better than nothing at this point. The last guide I tried to follow was Cyanogenmod 10.1. The file was called Liquid Smooth.
I currently have the ROM file and the gapps pakage on my external SD card, but, everytime I try to install it I get that Status 7 error.
Thanks in advance.

did you just wipe data/factory reset or did you also format /system?
you're getting the status 7 error because you arent using the latest recovery version. hit me back

Yes...stupidly... I formatted as well, thinking that that might solve the problem. Where can I get the latest recovery version? And, sorry, I'm new, so, not sure what you mean by "hit me back". But thanks for the reply.

make sure you have the correct ROM and gapps (compatible with your model). then i would try a different recovery.
you could download this flashable clockworkmod recovery zip and place it on your external sd card: http://d-h.st/8qP
it's not a touch version. you'll have to use the vol up and vol down buttons to navigate and the power button the select.
in twrp, mount external sd and then flash the CWM recovery like you would a rom. reboot into recovery.
make sure the external sd is still mounted and flash ROM & gapps twice. reboot

I can't seem to do anything now. Did I brick my phone?
Can you not get into recovery any more? If you can why dont you post the links for the rom you are trying to install and we can tell you if its the right one. Also do you have a external SD card to put the ROM and Gapps on

he has the rom and gapps on the external already.
if you can get into download mode, i'd try restoring via odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
1. Extract contents of the zip/rar archives
2. Wipe data-factory reset/cache/dalvik-cache
3. Plug phone into PC
4. Place the phone in Download Mode (vol dwn + home + power). Press volume up when prompted
5. Open Odin and ensure the COM box is highlighted, detecting your device
6. Uncheck the Auto Reboot option
7. In the PDA box, select the .tar.md5 file you downloaded
8. Flash the file by hitting Start
9. Once you get a Success message, pull the battery and then replace. Immediately go into recovery (vol up + home + power. release power button at Galaxy S3 logo and/or vibrate).
10. Select Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache. Reboot
you can then do some research and decide what files/procedures you want to try if you wish to root again and flash custom firmware
Thanks for the help guys. I am attempting to restore my phone right now. Will let you know how it went.
OK! Up and running! And I have it rooted with the latest TWRP recovery image installed. Now I just need to find a good custom ROM. Thanks againg guys!

I had this problem about 3 days ago, and solved it with flashing another recovery.
#1: Download CWM from ARHD server.
#2: Extract recovery.img.
#3: Reboot into bootloader and flash it through fastboot. (I used Fastboot Commander but you don't have to. Flash as you like!)
#4: Reboot into recovery and tadahhh!
#5: Flash a ROM or restore a backup, and now flash 4eXT recovery again through the app.
And #6: Click my THANKS button

I'm (or rather, was) on CM13 nightly, today I downloaded TWRP through Flashify and flashed it, previously I was using Philz Touch, now I have a bootloop. I just had a bootloop a few days ago and had to install everything over again, and I really don't feel like doing it again. What can I do?

Yes I can, but I reeeeeally don't feel like going back to stock AGAIN, I was thinking maybe flashing CyanogenMod Recovery would help fix the issue since TWRP is apparently not compatible with Marshmallow, the problem is I can't get my PC to recognize my phone in fastboot mode therefore I can't flash the new recovery. Any ideas?

Why didn't you backup your data? Always backup your data! Moreover, put the image to flash on your sd card

Wipe as usual, then in TWRP go to mount and choose external_sd, after that navigate up until you find the folder external_sd and load from there
You don't need to go back to stock. If you can enter recovery, you can wipe system (only) and dirty flash your cm13 over it. It usually works and dont lose your personal files nor installed apps. If it don't, do a full wipe and flash your rom again.

I've the same model, working fine with me, so let me tell you what I'd done..
downloaded the recovery from moto.shreps.fr by choosing my device and the last 3.1.0 build and renamed it to twrp.img
try the same and first, boot this twrp temporarily using
fastboot boot twrp.img
if twrp works then return to fast boot and flash using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
done. ?

is that problem persisting during backup or restoration?
if you're having problem in restoration then
Decide which backup file you want to restore.
3. Rename that file from "msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt" to "msgstore.db.crypt"
4. Install WhatsApp
5. When asked to restore, tap [Restore]

Can you tell me how much time it took to boot into twrp
Hi guys!
I can root my Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F Exynos variant, build no.: G960FXXU2BRGA, latest build from sammobile). When I want to flash a custom ROM like LineageOS or Resurrektion Remix through TWRP, it remains on the ''Samsung Galaxy s9'' logo after wiping cache and data and rebooting to system.
Before installing any ROM, I wipe the cache, install the ROM, and wipe cache, and then reboot to system. No matter what ROM I flash, it always remains on the logo. I am also able to flash the stock ROM through Odin and install the TWRP in downloading mode and root the device again, but can't flash any custom ROM.
Am I doing something wrong? I appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!
Update you twrp recovery
I am on the latest build, which is 3.2.3-0.

I'm having the same issue. I think it's because I'm not on the correct firmware version though. I keep reading that I need to be on BRE5; which I'm currently downloading from updato.com.

It doesn't allow me to select the file from the install menu. The download ends with .tar not .zip, so it isn't displaying in the TWRP Install Menu's file explorer. Choosing Install image doesn't make a difference either.

May I ask in this thread for my own problem?
SM-G960F/DS,
After installing TWRP lastest version, backing up, wipe data, cache, dalvik I installed LineageOS, opengapps and addonsu, rebooted to system and now the screen stucks with the samsung galaxy s9 logo. I am not able to turn off the device since more than 30 minutes. Now I'm waiting for the battery to get empty and then try to reboot into TWRP
Do a battery pull power off by pressing and holding the volume down and power keys at the same time for 10 seconds or until the phone boots up. Between the restart hold the keys to get into TWRP recovery and it'll boot into that. Once there follow the instructions above.

Thanks, well I tried those key combinations with no success
...however, I found the following key combination to restart the phone: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + "homebutton" (at the bottom of the touchscreen, where you would find the home button in older phones)
pressing this combination several seconds restarted the phone. After that I FIRST had to go into download-mode, and after that I could finally enter recovery !!! hurray. Trying to enter recovery at once was not possible. However, now I will try to install.

Hi,
I am having the same problem as the OP (although I am not trying to flash a ROM). Before I flash this random link out of the internet, can you tell me what it is and why it is needed? To educate?
Thanks!
