My vzw nexus has been running mRom version x.x for sometime. I went to install the upgraded 4.2 rom via clockworkmod, (wipe cache and dalvik, flash over current rom) and it appeared to install successfully. However, when I rebooted I saw the lock screen for a split second and it just started to boot loop. I rebooted back into recovery and wiped all data and tried to reinstall the rom via through the new 0 partition, but I get the error symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard/0/mRom_v3.0_JOP40C.zip (status 7)
I think that this may have something to do with the multiple users in 4.2, but don't quote me on it. I cannot get my computer to recognize my phone, when I go to mounts in cwm I can mount everything except the sdcard, although I think this problem was evident before I flashed. Any suggestions? I could try to restore to stock using galaxynexusrestore-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743939 but I have not tried it before so I cannot speak to weither it will work or not.
HELP!
Always always wipe data when changing an Android version. Unless it comes via OTA, which is specifically designed to fix all the little problems that will arise.
As to how to fix the problem, flashing a factory image
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 will probably work. Just follow the rules for Toro. The toolkit you linked may work, but it's generally a better idea to not use them and actually familiarize yourself with how to fix things yourself, you'll be less likely to make mistakes in the future.
Same thing happened to me.
when i try to restore from backup Clockwork can't locate the backup file because the root file structure has changed to \0.
Is there an update to Recovery that fixes this?
Help!

Clockwork dev said he knows about the issue and is working on a fix.
TWRP already has a patch out that solves the problem. If you decide to temporary move to TWRP it can be flashed through fastboot or Goomanager. CWM and TWRP backups are not compatible however.

same problem, stuck at JB logo

I was running stock JRO03O with Clockwork Recovery Mod and decided to flash the JB 4.2 ROM from Grouper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993545 - I can't post there since I'm too new).
The update must have succeeded, because I can see the new 0/ partition on my phone, but it won't boot past the "X" logo. I can boot into CWM and try various things, but of course because of the data structure changes, I can't actually recover to my last save. When I'm home, I'm hoping I can get the CWM backup off my phone to restore later, but without a terminal in CWM, I can't try to fix the path.
It's nice to hear that CW is working on a fix - I hope it's retroactive (I mean, helpful to those of use who already screwed up). Also, I've never flashed anything but OTA, so I didn't realize I needed to wipe data before flashing something that's supposed to be almost stock. I guess it matters how different from stock the ROM actually is.
What's next? I'll try to interface with my PC at home. If others have this problem, I'd be happy to hear your success (or fail) stories. I'll share mine once I've tried it.
The issue with non-OTA version updates is that the OTA is specifically designed to know what little bits and pieces need to be updated, removed, or left alone.
Flashing a ROM is usually intended as a fresh slate, as the dev cannot know exactly from where you started. Basically without the wipe, you could end up with old files loitering about the system and making it do things incorrectly at boot.

When trying to restore CWM backup move previous backups AND blobs folder to /data/media/clockworkmod if the folder does not exist simply create one or if unsure just go to recovery and make new backup, it will create necessary folders for you then move (or copy to be safe) files to location.... The blobs folder is what I was missing and why I kept getting error while trying to restore.

This should help your problem solving for the moment, if you're familiar enough with ADB to move the files that way it shouldn't take very long at all
thanks, and update of my status

Thanks for the extra insight. I wrestled with my phone all night and finally got it back to 4.1.1 (JRO030). Along the way I screwed up my adb or fastboot drivers, and for all my efforts I couldn't get any of my nexus toolkits to recognize the phone as in fastboot mode. Adb was fine, but fastboot was a no-go. I moved to a fresh computer after someone else had success with that, and read up on how to do a manual (adb command line) flash to factory image.
Now that that's done, I'm hoping I can restore from CWM to get back to where I was. If not, then yuck, but I'm optimistic.
Hello, I have a rogers i747 and I installed the newest CM build today and my internal storage would no longer show up. Afterwards I tried to use a recovery in TWRP and now my phone won't install data or system from any files that I try to flash. The phone will go into recovery mode and it will also go into downloading mode but I have no idea what to do. I can't seem to use any of my recoveries or even flash a new ROM onto the phone.
..
Are you entirely sure internal storage is gone? If you didn't know, the storage is nested into an emulate /0 folder. If you can get the phone to boot go ahead and look around in File Manager or Root Explorer for that folder. Everything you had on internal storage should be located there.
Onto the crazier things you're mentioning...
You should only have one "recovery". Unless of course you mean to say backups that you've saved in the event something goes wrong. Unfortunately with some recoveries the blob files for the backup stack up over time and get too large to be restored. I think updating the recovery might fix that, but I never had to mess with any of that stuff. I usually ended up returning to completely stock software to fix the issues I had the first few times I caught problems no amount of wiping would fix.
Before you do anything crazy go ahead and boot into recovery (hold volume up + home button + power until you see the samsung logo and it boots into twrp or cwm depending on what you're using), clear cache, clear dalvik cache in advanced and then reboot system now. Some issues are taken care of by that, some aren't.
Failing that, try a full wipe of your phone and reflashing the ROM assuming your files haven't been corrupted/deleted somehow.
If that doesn't work you'll need to use Odin or Kies or whatever to return to completely stock and reroot and all that nonsense.
Good luck.
I ended up having to flash a stock rom with Odin and it ended up working again. Not sure what happened but none of my backups would load and the phone was saying that storage was in use but the files weren't accessible and the backups wouldn't write to the internal storage they would say successful but do nothing. If I install twrp and try to flash cm again is there a chance that this same issue will occur again? And does anyone have an idea of why this occurred in the first place? I have never had an issue flashing between roms or using recoveries in the past. Just afraid of permanently bricking my phone at this point by installing a custom rom again. Never had issues before the new cm.

Ok Id like to start with the fact that I have searched for this on google and the forums. I did find a modded recovery img but still not much as far as why/what caused this. Heres the details:
decided today was the day I was gonna flash from stock 4.1.2 to PA 3.99. I revisited the thread to make sure on the development, and to see if there was any special instructions. Just to be safe I also stopped by the TWRP thread and found that update info as well and did what was needed in Goo Manager. So with updated recovery a fresh backup, I went forward with flashing. Wiped everything, flash PA then Gapps, then BMS well....no issue. Booted to system like normal setup google and went about my way tweaking with visual preferences. I then had to reboot, because PA_Gapps needed to be flashed in the PA udpater, so I let it do its thing....this is where things turn bad. Rebooting to recovery went fine as it flashed the new gapps....but after the reboot it just STAYED at the samsung logo "booped by BMS"....nothing else. left it for 10 mins, still nothing happened.
I then try to recover with my backup...nope i couldnt see anything in TWRP file manager. It said eMMC, sd-ext, sdcard, root, boot, data, cache, datadata and usb-otg were empty directories. I cant do anything right now. I've really never had to deal with odin or ADB and its lookin more and more like Im gonna have to go that method.
Does anyone have any insight on this issue? Thx
Yes all your backups and your root files gave been moved to the emulated folder. That happens when you flash 4.2 or 4.3 using your recovery your going to have to search your internal storage until you find it. Or you can connect the phone to the computer access your internal storage abd copy everything to the 0 folder directory. But if you go into recovery wipe everything again and search your internal storage you will find the rom and you should be able to reflash. The gapps is what messed you up.
Remember search is your best friend, Have a great day!

Thank you, but i cant flash anything.
I just tried wiping and it said failed. I tried factory reset and a full wipe both failed. I can odin files but i cant flash a damn thing. I cant find clockwork tar to odin for the life of me. Any directory I need, seems to have access cut off to it through recovery.
I actually searched the WHOLE filesystem and did not find folder 0. Same for any of the prior files i had in the internal storage.
As we speak i just reflashed PA 3.99 successfully, when i tried wiping dalvik it failed, still couldnt access most directories and factory wipe failed too.
Any ideas?

ok....redownloading TW 4.1.2.
eMMC, sd-ext, sdcard, root, boot, data, cache, datadata and usb-otg were empty
and going to odin your link
Could this have to do with TWRP asking for a password on recovery boot?
fixed with downgrade to twrp 2.4.4.0 then full wipe then back up to 2.6.1.0. Thanks for your response

Well I really mistaken when I thought it was fixed. I can just format data and it returns to normal boot but only one time. After that boot into system any reboot causes the same bootlock or password request @ twrp start. What am I missing? I haven't formatted every partition, updated and downgraded twrp, defaulted everything and still same issue. Does this have to do with TWRPs new encryption feature? I can't downgrade TWRP right now but that's my next to do. When did they start recovery encryption? pls&thx and yes i search everytime for anyone feeling that this is not worth helping.
I dont try to bother anybody on here unless i have to, and when i have to....well not too often does there seem to be much kindness behind the help. This isn't a stab at anyone, just observations of other peoples requests along with mine.
Again thx.
Flash to clockwork. Been working fine ever since

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.

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

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!

Ok. So. I am looking to flash an AOSP ROM on my Note along with updated modem, new kernel, and gapps. However. after I've downloaded all my zips and rebooted into Recovery, I cant find my files. They are just gone. Like they were never there. I make sure to put them on the root directory of my storage. I've also tried re installing TWRP as I thought it might be an issue with the recovery .img
But no luck.
So Any thoughts?
