Rom Manager not working

Everytime I try to flash an update.zip file using Rom Manager, it just reboots into clockwork recovery and does nothing. I've been having to manually flash in recovery. I've tried reflashing recovery, reinstalling Rom Manager, and even flashed stock image and rooted again, nothing fixes it. Any ideas?

Koush switched ROM Manager from fakeflash to real flash yesterday; maybe this is why you're having issues? Do you have S-OFF?

I've been having this issue for about a month or longer. I've tried on basically every rom, s-off. I've tried downloading clockwork again, no fix.

I've have the same problem, and it's been about the same amount of time, a little more than a month... I'm not sure what has happened to cause this, but I cannot get it fixed for the life of me.

Its a corrupted cache partition. I can post instructions later, you need to know how to use adb.
1.reboot to recovery and adb shell
2. mount /system (you can do this in clockworkmod under mounts and storage)
3.unmount cache(same as above mounts and storage)
3./system/bin/e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
then 'Flash Recovery" from Rom Manager
Try to Backup with Rom Manager and it should work now

nevermind, fixed it, thanks luniz7

It seems like every time I mount my phone to Ubuntu on Oracle Virtual Box, my cache seems to get corrupted and I have to repair it all over again. Anyone have any ideas why that is?

Help with Installing CleanROM.

Hi, I will have my hands on this tablet very soon and want to use the Cleanrom that is listed in a thread here. This will be my first time doing this and have been searching around for a guide. I have read a few bits and pieces but would like someone to explain in a few steps so i can get this right the first time.
I found a guide to Root it at rootgalaxynote.com but would like to understand how to install the CleanROM.

Hello,
You have to install TWRP Recovery first, then you need to copy Rom.zip to storage and then flash it using Recovery, dont forget about Wipe.

I havent installed anything yet as i will be receiving it for christmas. Not 100% sure on process so was posting here hoping someone could explain the process a bit more in laymans terms as this will be the first time i will be doing this. i understand you have to root the device so you can change the ROM, wasnt sure on what to do after that.

All you need is to Install Custom Recovery to change ROM, that will allow you to do anything you want with your device (such as System Backup/Restore, installing .zip packages, and etc.) read thread about TWRP so you can find everything you need to know.
But notice the fact you'll lose your warranty installing custom roms, as I know there is no way to change warranty bit back to 0 yet.
All information you need to know about Custom Roms is already there.

Here you can find TWRP. I would recommend flashing the ".0"version because some people are having problems with the newer one
Worked fine for me , just did the same process as you

Are you sure you wanna get P600 not P605?

Make sure you get the right version, whether Quality or Exnyos. I had a freeze until I got the right version.

Edit: Should i do this first before the TWPR?

Build says CleanRom 1.0 but all apps are still present
My build says CleanRom 1.0 but I still have all of the apps that others say are removed such as Sketchbook. My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi i'm a newbie on android
i've tried to install this rom a lot of time but unsuccessfully at any time
i've tried all the solutions i found here but none were successfull
i am under TWRP 2.6.3.0
my tablet is rooted but after the rom flash ,when i reboot ,just after the "galaxy note edition 2014" logo there's a black screen
the only way to repair is to flash with the mk1 stock rom after or to restore my old version saved with TWRP
can someone help ?
thanks

Before flashing your rom perform a factory reset in twrp and format /data. All your apps will be deleted and you should be fine if you are stuck on the samsung boot logo it might help to boot into recovery and format /cache and dalvik cache

So, I did the factory reset in twrp and then formatted the data. Naturally, everything was lost but when I went to install CleanRom it was no longer on the internal memory due to the format... but I did copy it to the Ext SD Card. MY problem is that twrp won't install the zip from the sd card. Each time it says its unable to mount "/data" even though I'm going into "advanced settings" and placing the check mark. I re-flashed twrp and tried using file manager to move the file to the internal storage but came up with the same problem. Also, I can't place the check on mount data for some reason. Now, my tablet starts to boot up but hangs on the samsung screen before the boot animation. Basically, its like there isn't any firmware on it and I tried re-doing the auto-root and stock recovery but thats a no go as well. Is this thing toasted?

Boot into TWRP and click "Restore Back Up" (Cannot remember exact verbiage) . Find where it says internal storage and press it and it will switch to a drop down and you can choose "External SD" Then go back and and it should be going to External SD instead of internal SD when you select install
Make sure you factory re-set. For safety, I advance wipe but I don't think that is necessary.
You may need to re-flash recovery if you're unable to access it.

Your device is not toasted I always have the Rom zip on the root directory of the device so formatting /data will not affect the rom zip. If you cant get it working then you might need to flash a firmware via odin and after that copy the rom on the internal root directory. Resetting your device should not format the whole internal storage so you can install the rom afterwards. Good luck mate

After the holiday (and many stressful attempts) I was finally able to re-boot the device and get past the splash screen. Opening Kies seemed to "kick" past the splash screen even though it said my device wasn't compatible with Kies. Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery, wiped, reset, flashed original firmware via Odin, flashed TWRP again, and then installed the CleanRom zip. Phew... it's FINALLY over with no issues and running smooth. I think the problem came in with TWRP not wiping correctly even though it said it did. I do appreciate all of the help and advice as you guys are life-savers!

recovery help please

hi i have a major issue this morning i flashed the dark one viper theme on my m8 i am rooted soff after it installed i hit the reboot button but when it rebooted it hung at boot screen so i hard rebooted and went to recovery which is philz recovery i then wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted but it still got stuck at the boot screen so i reentered recovery it took longer to load than usual and i was greeted with this message at the bottom of the screen
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path i tried to restore my nandroid backup but it failed at the data partion i also restored recover settings to default just incase id accidently pressed something i shouldnt have as the touchscreen is quite sensitive but nothing has worked does anybody know how i can fix this issue please i really need my phone any advise on this would be most appreciated thank you

Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid
Edit: or first try to wipe /data, /system, /cache and dalvik and then restore nandroid

thanks
thank you ill give it a try is this a common issue then its had me worried

You're telling that you are rootet. But are you also running the Viper ROM.? Guess you do as you flashed a corresponding theme.
If not the problem could be cause by flashing a Viper theme on a ROM not intended to work with it .

tried wiping data system ect. but its says error mounting data formatting system worked i also tried installing the rom but its says cant mount sd card format cache didnt work either

now when i power down from recovery it says apply root this is getting worse

Are you using twrp? Try to fix permissions. If it doesn't work maybe for some reason you lost root? Try to reflash supersu maybe?

atm im using philz but i was advised to wipe system ,data , and caches and now i have no sofware on the phone and i cant install anything as it cant mount data partion or internal sd card im not sure what to do someone has said to do a full wipe flash via sneakyghosts thread but im kind of lost and i have no idea what i need to do

Philz has fix permissions as well I think. Try it first...or as I suggested try to reflash supersu maybe you lost root

i cant find fix perms anywhere i flashed supersu but im still getting the error thanks but still nothing working

i started to flash viper rom again it failed but it seems to have fixed the su problem but i still cant acess internal sd card or data partition any ides please would be apreciated thanks

Can you try to reflash Philz?
If you have no success can you try and flash TWRP and see if it makes any difference? I'm just trying to eliminate all variables.

thank you im going to have to find them as i sent my phone to a shop to rooted but im sure that wont be too hard
ok got philz from its op as i already made a post in there i will trh that and get back to you thanks

Flash all the things!

i have reflashed philz and it still isnt reading internal sd or my data partition
edit same problem with twrp i tried fixing perms but it failed at data partion

I have your solution ?
Why?
Because I had exact same problem as you have now.
I'm on venom rom. Flashed 2.0.0 rom had not updated firmware however.
After flashing theme Viper dark I got very, very, very long boot time.
After 15 mins or so I hard "button rebooted" device. Resulting in data block being totally corrupted.
As your virtual SD card is a partition on /Data, and data is totally corrupted you won't see or be able to mount your SD card too.
Reflashing recovery, rom or whatever won't help /data stays corrupt.
Now the best part....
I got the tools for you to make your data block fine again, so it again can be mounted and you can see and use the internal sdcard.
You will of course loose anything on the data and virtual sdcard so you must flash a rom after fixing data.
Tools are on my pc, and I'm on my phone right now so I will upload it later and give you link and instructions.
That is if you still have this problem.

[Q] Help me pleaseee...uncryption unsuccessful

When i flashed the rom it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 at /data failed; no such volume
i dont know it then i flashed gapps and format /system and /data and reboot
Then it says uncryption unsuccesful

yup, that makes two of us. tried installing lollipop and phone went funky, not sure how to fix it. tried google but nothing helpful, hopefully somebody can help us on this.

Both of you have the right recovery?

Any fix??

Yes
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Forums Pro.

1-Install stock rom using ODIN and use OPS file , don't forget to wipe data after installation completes
2-Install CWM right version for your phone using ODIN
3-Install any ROM you want
hit thanks if it helped , if not please explain in more details your problem

Ok, for the Encryption unsuccessfull problem, this is what I did to get my Galaxy W to work.
In addition to format /system, /data etc, I had to format /storage/sdcard0 as EXT4. This gets past the Encryption unsuccessful problem, and I can flash the ROM CM12 and get it running.
But, I'm running into a weird problem that no one else seems to have come across. I can flash gapps 5.1.x, apparently without any failure messages on the flash window, and boot up.
Once the boot up is completed, I cannot see any of the Google apps icons at all !!?
I followed the same flashing process when installing CM 11 and 4.4 gapps, and this works fine. With CM 12, 5.1 gapps, I don't get any Google apps.
Anyone else came across this?
PS: After looking in the right place, many (all?) have the gapps problem in the cm-12.1-20150912-UNOFFICIAL-ancora thread. But I've also tried the RR rom with OTA updates. RR works - OTA just sits there with a blank page.

[Q] Why aren't my ROMs installing?

I can't install any ROM, gets stuck on no MD5 file found for about 5 minutes then says script succeeded result was [*********************************] then I go to reboot and get red LED flash. Help?
