[Q] Unable to flash PA4Beta on Galaxy S3 with CWM - Paranoid Android Q&A

As the title says, I'm getting an error in the form of "Warning: No file_contextsset_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" and the installation just stops.
I downloaded the newest ROM (h t t p : // 90. hostingsharedbox. com: 3000/ ayysir/ roms/ s3/ d2att/) as well as the newest GApps, rebooted into recovery (CWM Recovery v6.0.3.1), factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, and then tried to install the ROM from my external SD card.
Can anyone help?
[EDIT] Pirateghost was right. Derp.

You need to update your recovery.

Collision of recovery issues

Hi,
After flashing CM10 successfully, I apparently flashed the wrong GAPPS zip, so I got the endless "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" loop, through which I can only access the time functions using the dropdown.
I tried re-wiping and reflashing, but that apparently just leads to the 0/0/0 nesting issue, and doesn't seem to actually wipe/reflash.
"adb devices" only reads when I'm in recovery mode, and doesn't appear to accomplish anything.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Erik
1) Flash the latest CWM or TWRP via fastboot to avoid further "0 folder" issues
2) Go into the recovery
3) Do a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik)
4) Flash the CM10 ROM again or any other ROM you already have on your sdcard and ready to be flashed
5) Flash the correct Gapps if you already have it on your sdcard, or just reboot into the CM10 then download the correct Gapps to flash later via Goo Manager app which finds the correct version of Gapps automatically.
Hope this works

How about going to Download mode and install via ODIN?
See the toolbox for this.

Bricked means it doesn't do anything anymore and it cannot be revived.

Problem when trying to flash Cyanogenmod 11

I had android jellybean 4.1.2 on my S3 and I wanted to flash Cyanogenmod 11 on it, I wiped cache partition, data factory reset and dalvik cache. After that I tried to run the Cyanogen zip file I stored and I get Status 7 error.
After that I tried enabling toggle signature verification and didn't help.
I cannot connect my phone to PC, nothing happens when i plug it
CWM version is 5.5.0.4

[Q] Flashing CM9 not working

I'm attemping to follow this guide, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d710, for installing cm9 on the e4gt but i'm unable to do so. I'm using ACS Recovery5 v1.0.0.0 as the recovery manager.
When I wipe data and factory reset i get no sort of confirmation that it has completed, i go on to wiping cache and dalvik cache and then get to the step of installing the cm9 zip and i get an error.
Code:
E:Error in /emmc/cm-9.1.0-galaxys2.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.
When i reboot the phone after this error, none of my user data is gone, its as if the factory reset did not occur at all.

To be completely honest, I have no idea what would cause this error. It shouldnt let you select anything else until the wipe is done. Ive been using the SXTP_Agat recovery (based on CWM) and its worked perfectly for over 20 wipes/flashes. I have it attached. It is a .tar file so just flash it thru odin and it should be there. Let me know if it doesnt work or you have any other issues.
Also, I found an unofficial port of Cyanogenmod 10.1 somewhere a while back. Ill try to find the link and ill update this post to include it.
Good luck!
--Edit-- Heres that link to cyanogenmod 10.1

Pixel Experience 11 Bootloop

Hi,
i was using LineageOS 17.1(Android 10) on my pixel Xl (32 gb storage)
when android 11 came out, I thought I would switch to pixel experience. So I went to their official website and downloaded the android 11 version of pixel XL
There was an instruction guide provided by the developers on how to install android 11
So I followed that and even after applying update from the adb, there was no issue at all
but when I pressed "Reboot to system" Bootloop is happening
Note: I didn't noticed the official instruction first so i installed twrp to flash the rom just like I flashed LineageOS, but in the advance wipe section, there was only 4 option available
-Dalvik / ART cache
-System
-Data
-Internal Storage
there was no cache option
I formatted the data and wiped all of them and tried to both install and sideload the rom but every time during the installation, an error (code 28) occurs
Then I downloaded the rom again hoping that the previos 1 was corrupted and i saw the instruction guide this time.
So I followed the guide and installed their recovery image, flashed recovery partition and flashed the rom using sideload.
But after rebooting the system, Bootloop keeps occurring
*sorry for any misspell or grammatical mistake*

I'm having the same issue. Did you flash the repartition zip?
I ended up reflashing stock rom https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin
Try doing that and restarting the process

I actually solved the problem a few moments ago
What i did wrong was, when i sideload the rom rom file with twrp i always cleared the dalvik and cache file
let me make a little guide for you..hope that will help
1. install twrp recovery
2. go to wipe section -> advanced wipe -> wipe all 4(Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage)
3. do a factory reset and format data
4. go to mount section and check all the boxes (system, data, vendor)
5. sideload the repartition zip according to your storage and device model (mine was pixel xl 32gb)
6. after sideload is done reboot the system..it will reboot into recovery again
7. then again sideload the rom file (don't check the clear cache and dalvik boxes)
8. after that is done, go back to main menu and go to reboot-> switch to slot B-> Reboot into system
Hopefully you're done
Note: don't skip any step regarding how minor it is
and if you wish you can also follow the official instruction: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/marlin/install/
Let me know if it works for you
Best of luck!
