Lost recovery when trying to flash 4.3 ROM

Ok so I am not the greatest when it comes to flashing ROMs but so far I have managed to get by.
I went from MMuzzyROM 4.2.2 to [ROM] [4.3] [JSS15J]. I wiped my data/dalvick/cache, flashed the new ROM and Gaaps and installed SuperuserSU. As of right now SuperuserSU will not install and I get an installation error. And when using Rom Manager I can not reboot into recovery. And there is a bit more, when I try and boot into recovery from the holding the volume and power button down, after choosing recovery the android with the error shows up. From what I understand is that the 4.3 rom I flashed removed the stock recovery, but I am just confused how to get back recovery.
My main question is did I loose root and how can I get the recovery option back.
Thanks, Noel

4.3 is buggy with root right now. You can use rom manager to reflash cwmrecovery or you can use goomanager to install twrp

USE TWRP!

When trying to flash CWR I get an error message. I am pretty sure I am unrooted without an option for recovery and stuck on 4.3?

Ok I guess I am just too confused. Downloading TWRP gives me an image file which I don't understand how to install, because I thought I need recovery to do it? When in fastboot I can select recovery but I get the error android.

what error message?
what's the fastboot command you're using to flash recovery.
about loosing your recovery after flashing/boot/reboot OS for the first time, it's probably the same that 4.2 had
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/install-recovery.sh

The error message is when using the clockwork mod app to install the recovery, once downloaded it states an error has occurred. Then when trying TWRP I am following these steps I get "fastboot is not a recognizable command..." I am pretty lost as you can tell and am thankful for the help.

Mainly because I thought if I had rooted my device and done all this once, I should remember how to do it again. But through ignorance I thought I could and be able to remember the steps and what not. I'll read through it and figure it out, it was just a moment of panic of losing the option of recovery that I have had for a long time and not being able to use it means (or I think it means) I am just stuck of 4.3 for a bit and hopefully the ROM isn't too bad.

[Q] Installation aborted (BAD)

Can anyone help.....
I have tried to flash a few custom roms but everytime I go to install it says installation aborted (BAD). I have downloaded the same rom a couple of times in case it was a bad download, but still get the same result. I flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin before trying to install custom roms, could this be the problem?. I am using philz recovery.
Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?.
Thanks in advance

go with a clean wipe,system included and flash the rom. make sure u verify the md5 of the rom downloaded and use latest philz version and make a backup of rom just to be safe before flashing anything, the latest philz support 4.3 flashing

I tried and tried and tried but couldn't get it to install. I then decied to reflash back to 4.1.2 stock via odin. Then tried to install Dr's again but still wouldn't work. I then flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin and repeated the Dr's install and it worked!!!!!!.
Thanks for the advice.

Flash fails with:
Installation aborted (bad), can't open <path to zip file><name of zip>
This happens after a factory reset, wipe data, cache.
I have a Samsung S3 that I have rooted, and then flashed many times. Before that I had an HTC EVO. I am not new to the process, but apparently I am missing something here.
Got any suggestions?

Which Odin Version you are used to install The Recovery? Try an other Version.
Is your Rom on The micro Sdcard ? If you use Philz so is The max capacity 32 GB, if you use TWRP so is max 64 GB supported.

I didn't use Odin to flash the recovery. Downloaded the zip and flashed via recovery.

How do you rooted your Tab?
With Stockrecovery you can not flash a Rom or Recovery.
Flash Philz or TWRP With Odin, reboot to The New flashen Recovery , than you can install a Rom.
All information for The right steps you will find at dev Sektion.

Sounds like the rom download is bad. Check the md5 of the rom before trying to install.

Kind of success. I downloaded the same version of PhilZ, for Odin, on my laptop.
I put the tablet in download mode and flashed the recovery with Odin.
I downloaded the ROM again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-stockrom-kitkat-version-16-08-2014-t2849742). This is one I had tried before. This time to my laptop and copied it to the tablet. The other times, I had downloaded the ROM directly onto the tablet.
While it was in the process of flashing, there were some video anomolies.
I rebooted the tablet into recovery and flashed the ROM. It hung on SAMSUNG for a very long time after the flash and reboot. I powered it off and rebooted. It booted completely this time, but not without some issues. The first thing was when the message pops up that Android is optimizing apps. That bar was all screwy looking, snowy. (see attached image)
Once I got to the lock screen and entered the pin, the screen "fractured", pieces shifted around, and the tablet locked up. I wish I had taken a picture of it. Never seen anything like it.
I had not done a data wipe yet. I did a data wipe, rebooted, entered the pin, tablet locked up again.
I then was going to restore the backup I made before the flashing. It wouldn't restore because of an MD5 mismatch. I had restored this backup previously with no problem.
I restored an older backup and then spent a couple of hours getting everything back to the level of the now broken backup.

Flash nolekat and all went fine.

I've had problems as well. I normally flash via a recovery. At times I'll have an md5 mismatch or it just doesn't work; I've even backed up a working ROM only to find out I can't restore the same backup. Seems like a hit or miss with me

I tried flashing NoleKat and it failed on me too.

bierma32 said:
At one of your post you write after flashing you must put in the Pin?
So you have make not a clean install or factory reset, you done a wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
You must do a clean install if you come from different Roms or Version.

modified changes revert back after rebooting the device

my device has been running cm11 unofficial version for quite sometime now.. the 20140921 version.. but recently I've started having a problem that the phone restarts suddenly.. so., i tried doing a fresh flash again.. but i keep getting the assert error. and the phone restarts. I have the recovery image which grarak had posted in the thread. But i donno how to use it. And now the problem has worsened because once I install any new app, the phone restarts on its own and after which it restores it back to the time when the app wasnt there.. I'm not able to make any new nandroid backups too coz the device restarts again.. I thought it might be a CWM error, so I tried flashing TWRP.. but its again an img file which i donno what to do.. sighs. .. and also, if i try to do a fresh flash of the official version of cm11 now, using the recovery i have now, will it show the assert error again?? thanks a lot in advance... hope someone can get me out of this mess..

actually this problem is much more serious than that.... my device has kinda frozen in the present state... if i uninstall any apps and then restart the device the app remains there itself.. and if I try to install a new app, after restart, the app is nowhere to be seen.. so, in short, i cant install any new apps or make modifications to the previous ones... I'm not even able to install any other recovery due to this... it seems like there is some problem with the R/W rights.

Youll have to boot into fastboot and flash the recovery. Press and hold volume up + power until the phone shuts down, then hold volume down + power until you get into Hboot. Then scroll down with the volume keys and select fastboot.

@mids1810
Ok let's see, so your saying that the device won't allow to read or write, meaning 1 of 2 things.
Either you lost root access by uninstalling or modifying something, or
your device has accumulated too much background information / app data and it won't allow it to make any more changes due to limited or in other words, there's no space.
If you have CWM 6.0.4.7 then you will get the assert error every time. This is just to make sure you do have it flashed.
First thing's first.
-Go into your bootloader and go into fastboot mode. Plug it into the PC and it will say fastboot USB.
-Now download and run this .exe:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nn4a5xzx2pw7as/CWM_Recovery_en.exe?dl=1
-This will flash the latest 6.0.5.1 CWM automatically.
1. Now that you have the latest recovery installed,
-Boot into the recovery and wipe the CACHE and go into advanced options and wipe DALVIK CACHE. Do not press factory restore.
-Hit reboot device and test by installing an app to see if this fixes the issue.
2. If it still reboots after installing an app then download this .zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip?retrieve_file=1
-Put this zip on your SD card/internal storage
-Go into CWM and flash this .zip.
-Reboot the device and test again.
3. If BOTH of these steps failed then you will need to freshly install CM11.
-While the device is still on, put the latest CM11 on your device or recycle the same one that your using if you prefer its stability.
-Boot back into CWM and do a factory restore.
Factory restore is almost ALWAYS necessary for every time you flash CyanogenMod unless it is an update that specifically states it can be "dirty flashed" which is just a way of saying you flashed it without wiping all your information - data/cache/dalvik off of it.
Let me know how this goes for you. :laugh:

Yeah i already had the CWM 6.0.5.1 running on my device, but I flashed it again just in case.... That didnt solve the issue.
Next I flashed the Super SU zip from my SD card(since anything I place in my internal storage vanishes once I reboot... even if rebooted in my recovery) That again didnt solve the problem
I did a fresh install of CM11, 20140921 which I am running at present due to the stability issue you mentioned.. (have tried with the official nightly a couple of times to no avail)... It shows the assert error just as before, all the time.
And yes, all the apps I uninstalled came back again, as always Completely out of any more ideas... And also I get quite many error messages often " so and so app stopped responding" and stuff

Ok let's see, so your saying that the device won't allow to read or write, meaning 1 of 2 things.
Either you lost root access by uninstalling or modifying something, or
your device has accumulated too much background information / app data and it won't allow it to make any more changes due to limited or in other words, there's no space.
If you have CWM 6.0.4.7 then you will get the assert error every time. This is just to make sure you do have it flashed.
First thing's first.
-Go into your bootloader and go into fastboot mode.

Did you try wiping JUST the Cache and the Dalvik cache WITHOUT doing a factory restore? These options are in CWMR.
Also, what is your device model? (a5_dug/chl/dwg/ul etc.)
If your not sure it says it at the top when your in the bootloader.

Follow this guide and restore your phone back to stock.

Its an TWRP nandroid backup of the original software, and if you have an updated version it will be able to update as well if you flash the stock recovery.

i had this error pop up on me a few weeks ago after editing something on build.prop
i tried everything and unfortunately the only way i was able to fix my phone was to reflash to stock using the TOT method (although i would imagine the KDZ method should work too, whats important is you reflash to stock)

If u have a backup restore from twrp of try a dirty flash of whatever rom u had
