I can't flash any new ROMs please help

I've run into a strange problem I have fff extended and twrp installed and currently am running jandycane as my main, and the stock DoCoMo as salt but recently I tried to flash cm10 and when i tell twrp to install the ROM it starts to go then drops me back to the start up for twrp and then to the main selection screen, when I have tried to DL cm10 through goo manager it will DL the file then tell me the md5 sum is mismatched. On a side note I don't know if this a symptom of the problem or not but using an JohnNES when I save in game it will initially see the save but if I restart the app the saved game does not show but the file for it still exists.
Thanks in advance

Can't install any ROMs to SGH-T999V

Well, I tried Cyanogen, AOPK and now I tried PARANOID 2.0.
None of them works, GAPPS works, but I get the Status 7 error while installing a ROM, i'm using the SGH-T999V and none of them works.

How are you trying to install them?

You are rooted and trying to install with cwm or twrp recovery, right.
I ask because that error reminds me of stock recovery for some reason...

Hey make sure you've rooted your phone first. I'm on cm10 with leankernel and everything works just great. Good luck!

d2tmo wrong device?

Status 7 errors can occur in ClockworkMod for everyone saying he's using a stock recovery.

Make sure your rooted and you should be good

Hey SGH-T999V,
I think we'd all love to help, but we need some more information. Can you tell us step by step exactly what you are doing? Once we have that, I think we will be able to help you past this.

I am fully rooted with clockworld recovery 5.0.4 or something, installing zip from sdcard then Status error 7 and yeah...

From what I've gathered, status 7 errors usually occur when the ROM is incompatible with the device e.g when flashing a CDMA rom on a GSM phone. My first advice would therefore be to confirm that the zip file is for the correct GS3 variant. You mentioned aokp and CM. Both these ROMS refer to the T999 as "d2tmo" and the zip files usually contain this in the name (e.g cm-9-20120909-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip). I would therefore check this first before anything else.
Assuming that's not the issue, some suggestions would be:
1. This is a longshot, but try toggling signature verification and see what happens. I doubt this is the issue but I have had update zips fail because this was accidentally toggled
2. Try updating CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552
3. Try changing the recovery to TWRP and see if its the recovery. The easiest way I've found is to use the GooManager app. Install from the play store. Run the app. Hit the menu key and select Install OpenRecoveryScript. Reboot into the TWRP recovery and try flashing from there.
4. Try rerooting the device from scratch

I got this error when I rooted using the Sprint method. I had to reflash cwm using Rom manager before I could install Cyanogen

I had the same problem. I updated cwm and it fixes it. Your version is old....

Just updated CWM to 6.0.1.2 and tried to flash with TWRP... same Status 7 error with every single ****ing ROMs i'm trying to install.
Wiped everything many times before installing zip, nothing works... i'm giving up and downloading stock ROM until Samsung releases official JB 4.1.

You might have to go back to stock and root it again

could try installing the roms with Odin
Could try downloading the roms using Rom manager pro and having it install them
You just got to get one to work and you'll be golden
Is it a setting problem in cwm?
Like toggling allow installation of unsigned packages

Just update cwm to a newer version. I promise that'll fix it.

Or pay someone to do it. Look for rooting services on craigslist

same here
Hi, there,
just looking for solution for the same problem and got this thread...
well, I was rooted and on cyanogen and everything worked fine.
had backups and stuff.
decided to return to stock just to have it updated and backed up and after that to return to cyanogen.
when in CWM, after stock, while re-root-ing, I did a fix permission which erased some of my system files in the backups, so all my backups on the phone became useless (lesson #1: always move your backups away from the phone).
decided to start from scratch, so using ODIN I flashed the proper stock ROM for T999V. Installed the CWM version 5. something, superuser etc.
made a backup this time and store it outside the phone
when I tried to flash the cyanogen 10.0 for m2tmo (which I've flashed before without trouble), I got the error message as our friend here.
I edited the updater-script file in order to erase the first lines and got it flashed...
the problem that I have right now is that I am stuck in the first screen when the cyanogen keeps going round and round and round.... and nothing happens
any suggestion from here?

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/ClockworkMod_Recovery#Status_7
The status 7 error can be from a bad download, bad signature, and I have seen it from using an old version of clockwork. I would first make sure you are running the most current version of recovery. if that doesn't solve your problem try redownloading the Rom.

[Q] PA on 317M E: Fail

Hey guys,
I am using PA on my Galaxy Nexus and loving it, not I am trying to put it onto a Note 2 (317M)
Not to sure why I am getting a E:signature verification failed when I am trying apply the rom in recovery mode...
I rooted with Odin, I have CWM installed, wiped the cache and did data/factory reset.
Also I downloaded the file from this link, which I got from the Note 2 PA page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069430
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
JERF!

maybe you got a bad download? did you verify md5?

Must be a bad download, or something else. Not to sure why its not working...
To bad, I love this ROM.

Just downloaded & installed.
Try to re-download

Or try TWRP. I've had issues with cwm not being able to install certain .zip files and twrp works fine

i just installed paranoid last week to test for a few days with cwm no problem. op most likely didn't verify the md5 so that's why he's guessing he's got a bad download and doesn't know for sure. that's probably the easiest way to confirm whether or not it's worth flashing. got a bad download and didn't verify md5, then you'll run into problems and i dunno.. worst case brick your phone.

Troubles with TWRP

I used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my kindle, install superuser, install gapps and go launcher, all that happy crap along with TWRP and FFF (the one with the blue "kindle") and my TWRP is messed up. I can access it and everything but it won't let me make backups or flash anything through it, so i decided to install Clockworkmod instead (hearing it was pretty good since the final release) and so i tried to use all sorts of things i had in store (ROM manager[i hate rom manager] Flash image gui, goomanager,) and everything i try will not work to install Clockworkmod. I can't flash it through TWRP and i'm trying to learn how to use Fastboot. I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas on how to get TWRP to work or any way on how to install CWM that doesn't involve terminals, because those are a pain. Any advice will be helpful.
What TWRP says when trying to backup or flash:
instead of saying "installing..." like it did with CWM on my Optimus V it says
(i'm running a backup sequence)
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Simulating actions...
Then at the top it says "backup complete"
"successful"
but when i look in the restore folder there isn't anything to speak of.

Don't use clockworkmod. It's outbid date if you read it the thread it says STOP USE IMMEDIATELY. Try flashing A newer version of TwRp through a .zip in clockworkmod and see how that works

Reset the defaults of twrp because it`s simulating actions and not performing them.

Or run smirkit and fash COTR
BTW do you not care if you kill your device?
There is a bug sticky that says don't use CWM

[Q] Hyperdrive Installation problem

Hi guys, I've been trying to flash the new Hyperdrive RLS11 on my AT&T Galaxy s3 and no matter what I do, my phone says cant open and aborts the installation. I can never get the Aroma installer to start. I do factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, and format system, but it fails every time. Any ideas?

Could be a bad download. You could try grabbing it again. Also, is your recovery up to date?

I downloaded it from 3 different of his mirrors none of which worked. Im of the latest version of Clockwork mod. could it be the new update from 6.0.3 to 6.0.3.1 on clockwork? or should i use something other than clockwork

you should use twrp.. check the md5 of your download after you download it for accuracy. try that.. if it doesnt work u can always flash cwm again

Flash in twrp. Get twrp by downloading goo manager app and selecting install open recovery
Also are you grtiing a status 7 error?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

For whatever reasons, sometimes when flashing in cwm or twrp, you will have issues and installing the other custom recovery will allow you to flash the desired ROM. you obviously then have the option to return to the custom recovery you were previously running either because you prefer it or all your backups were made in it.

Alright thanks ill try it tonight, hopefully it works

I used twrp and it worked fine! Thanks guys

Similar problem
Hey guys
I've gone through all the steps as instructed, but can't install HD RSL15 successfully. I downloaded the installation file from a mac which then automatically unzips the folder. Zipped it back up with 7zip and threw it on the phone. I went through all the prescribed steps using TWRP 2.6 and AndroidUnite's video on youtube (How To Install TWRP Recovery And Flash Custom ROM) as example . This is the 2nd time Ive downloaded the file and I switched over from CWM based on this thread's recommendations.
When it comes to installing the ROM the window ends up looking like this:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Error flashing zip...
Updating partition files...
FAILED
Have I done something wrong during the previous steps (flashing, installing recovery) or does it have something to do with the method of zipping the files (tried fastest and store as compression options, doing store makes the file unreadable by the phone during recovery mode)? Please help
