Installation aborted.
The internal of the zip is different than another roms , idk
Does it boot into cwm over and over or does it fail to flash. Need more info.
You might have one of those rare DZs with the G2 hboot.
Nevermind. Not the problem.
if you already backup current rom, proceed to ROM Manager > Install ROM from SD Card > select ROM's zip file > and just tick Wipe Data & Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache.
if that method doesn't work, try using tool recommended by RCMixed's dev - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283

Sounds like a corrupt download to me. Redownload the ROM, and provide more detail on the exact error you're receiving (i.e. Install Aborted (Error 6), or something to that effect)
I hereby present you this guide on how to make an clean install including wiping /system partition which cleans out all files from previous ROM.
Please follow the steps carefully.
==Prequisities==
- a ROM of your choice, either .zip or SBF format
- CWM Recovery installed and common knowledge on how to use it
- Full wiper from here
==General steps==
1: Boot to recovery
2: Make an factory reset
3: Flash the Full wiper .zip
Now follow the steps for your ROM
==For .zip ROMs==
4: Just flash the ROM.zip
==For .SBF ROMs==
4: Reboot. You will be stuck on M logo
5: Pull out the battery
6: Boot to bootloader mode
7: Flash normally with RSD lite.
If everything went normally, you will see your new ROM on next reboot.
Enjoy your fresh installation ! :victory:
Great!
how you know that you had problem with CCM wipe? how i can check this?

Sry but for flashing sbf you didn't need to gain to step 4 (is unnecessary) . Sbf-s is need to flash strait with RDS lite and if you have bootloop then enter in recovery and wipe data/cache and dalvik.
HI all super place this is would like a little help if possable
iv got a sony arc s can root and load in to recover mode but when i try to install any rom from zip it will do all the normal stuff then says reboot ..
after that it just sstays on the sony logo does not go no more no matter how long i leave it ... can you help me in this am i doing some thing wronge :fingers-crossed:
flash the supporting kernel
PLZ SPECIFY WHICH RO YOU HAVE INSTALLED
if you are using a custom rom then IT IS NECESSARY TO FLASH THE KERNEL FOR THE SAME!!!
Eg:- if using ics based rom the flash a kernel for ics, if using cynogenmod the flash the kernel for that..etc
also clear cache,wipe data and dalvik cache using CWM..
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
**IF YOU THINK I HELPED THEN SHOW IT BY PRESSING THE THANKS ICON**:good:
If you want to flash the custom kernel, you should unlock bootloader first.
If your bootloader is unlocked, first flash the custom kernel (ics/jb/gb) thru fastboot that supports the ROM you are installing.
After flashing the custom kernel, wipe user data, wipe cache partition, advanced-> wipe dalvik cache and flash the ROM. Reboot the phone.
hi thanks for your replys

THAT'S an ICS rom from xperia t
FROM that post it's clear(text copied from the post)
STEPS ARE QUITE CLEAR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD
How to install.... please do all step as i am describing
Step-1) Download & Flash the kernel From here available in downloads
Quote:
Step-2) Please download Xperia Arc-S 4.0.4_431 ftf pack from here only and flash it through flash tools , in Arc and arc-s both , FTF is available in downloads
Flash every thing from ftf pack just exclude two things
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
do not flash these two things, after flash power up your phone and let it start completely, now copy rom zip into SD card , and reboot your device into recovery
Why you need to do this ???
It will give you 440-MB internal memory and 419-MB System Rom memory
If you already have these memories then you can skip this step
3) go into recovery and wipe these things
3.1- wipe factory date
3.2- wipe cache partition
3.3- wipe delvik cache
3.4- wipe system
4) now flash my rom after flash reboot your phone and wait for 60 seconds
5) Tick unknown source, then reboot it recovery again and flash the Xperia T lock-screen mod
6) reboot and enjoy do not wipe data after this for more info read recommendations

AGAIN FOR YOUR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
**YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED AND YOU MUST HAVE THE KERNEL INSTALLED PROVIDED IN THAT POST
**YOU MUST install THOSE FTF files excluding (THIS STEP IS DONE IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE INTERNAL MEMORY CAUSE XPERIA T ROM REQUIRE A HIGHER VALUE OF INTERNEL MEMORY WHICH IS BY DEFAULT NOT PRESENT IN ARC/S)
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
**NOW GO INTO RECOVERY
3.1- wipe factory date ==factory reset
3.2- wipe cache partition
3.3- wipe delvik cache
3.4- wipe system ==MOUNT and storage>format/system
**THEN install the rom (the zip file) via install zip from sdcard
then step 5,6

This thread exists to give everyone that is just now getting around to taking advantage of their devices the opportunity to do it right the first time while also keeping all the necessary material in one common place. As always: Know what you're doing. Know what device model you have. Know you and your devices limits.
If followed correctly, this 5-step guide can be a very useful tool. These steps are listed in the order in which they should be completed. The intent is to seamlessly backup, root and flash, leaving as little room for error as possible. This process will erase and/or reset everything on your device. All steps are assuming you have backed up your contacts, texts, pictures, videos, etc. I do not take credit for any of this material or information. This is all the work of good people that I have simply brought together. Cheers!
**WARNING!** All information and attached links are for the I747 and I747M ONLY! No one here is responsible for anything that may happen to your device. Proceed at your own risk.
>>>>>>Before you begin, make sure your S3 has USB Debugging Mode switched on<<<<<<
STEP 1: Backing up your IMEI/EFS/NV
Part 1. Having a corrupt IMEI can be a real pain. It seems to happen randomly and having the radio go down on a cell phone really defeats the purpose of owning one. Thankfully it is not a problem that is overly common. Unfortunately, it does still happen. Since it is simplest to be on stock for this attached method, I have listed it as step number 1.
At the end of the "Instructions" section there is a video demonstration. Check it out first.
Part 2. Having a copy of your functioning EFS folder is also something every user should have. A great way to do this is to download an app like Root Browser or Root Explorer and copy the efs folder from your device to either your external micro SD card, your computer or both. This will allow you a much smoother transition back into a fully data-capable and functioning phone in the event your IMEI/EFS is ever corrupted.
STEP 2: Rooting your device
For those of you who want to get most out of your Galaxy S3, you will certainly want to root it. Rooting your I747 gives you lots of benefits like full control over your phone, ability to install custom ROMs, and much, much more...that's why you're here right now reading this. You want it all.
The attached link may be intimidating to you initially, so read over the page a few times to become familiar. Near the top of the page, the second paragraph links you to a video of the rooting process. Watch this to understand better what to do and what you should expect to see during these root procedures. After downloading Odin (the link is just below the video link), just follow the first 2 steps (1. Download the file to flash and 2. Unzip the file contents and flash the rooted firmware) and then return here to continue on to step 3.
**If you want to have root access only and are not interested in a custom recovery, you can stop here.**MrRobinson's debloating thread can be found here if you wish to remain
stock/rooted-only but cleaner, with less bloatware and without unused apps absorbing resources.
A custom recovery is required and TWRP is recommended
STEP 3: Installing a custom recovery
A recovery image is the system level software for your Android that lets you perform several maintenance and recovery tasks. The stock recovery image is quite limited in what it allows you to do and therefore, flashing a custom recovery image is required to gain full control of your device’s administration. A custom recovery image allows you to perform the following tasks:
- Wipe your phone’s data (Factory reset) and cache
- Make, restore and manage backups of your phone’s operating system and software
- Mount, unmount and format your phone’s internal as well as external storage partitions
- Install a custom ROM or application from a zip file to your phone
- Wipe Dalvik cache and battery statistics
- Make logs for error reporting and debugging
The 2 most common custom recoveries are listed here. Everyone has a preference but they both work well. Take your pick and download from the Play Store.
**ClockworkMod (CWM)** --- OR DOWNLOAD THE APK DIRECTLY HERE (Recommended)
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
**Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)** --- OR DOWNLOAD THE APK DIRECTLY HERE (Recommended)
1. Once the download is complete launch Goo Manager.
2. On the top right of the screen there is the “options” menu.
3. Tap on options.
4. Then, click or choose the “Install OpenRecovery Script” option.
5. Select “yes” on the prompts that will follow. Now, the app will download and install TWRP Recovery on your S3
*NOTE: I do not recommend GooManager as a tool to do anything but just install and update TWRP Recovery Do not flash ROMs from Goo Manager.
STEP 4: Making a Backup (Nandroid)
Making a nandroid will allow you to try out new ROMs while still keeping a safe backup in the event you experience issues during or after the OS installation. Be sure your device is fully charged before proceeding onto the backup and flashing procedures.
1. Power off your device.
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
3. Release the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner
4. You are now in custom recovery.
5. In CWM go to Backup and Restore and select Backup. In TWRP select Backup. Name and select the options you want. Swipe to backup.
6. After backup is finished, select reboot system now or stay in recovery to continue with this guide.
*NOTE: Be sure to save a copy of this backup to your computer and/or micro sd card. Having a recent backup saved to your computer and micro SD card can be useful if something happens to your phones internal memory.
STEP 5A: Wiping your device
When flashing any ROM, it is always important to follow the proper wipe procedures in order for everything to function properly. There are various levels of wiping based on what sort of transition you may be making. In this guide, I will list the procedures for a full wipe, presuming that you are coming from the stock firmware and changing your OS completely. This is all assuming you have made the appropriate backups. ALWAYS perform the appropriate wipe before flashing a new ROM or update!
1. If you are not already in recovery, boot in now (Vol Up + Home + Power. Release the power button at vibrate and when you see the blue script in the top left corner).
In CWM:
2. Select Wipe data/factory reset
3. Select Wipe Cache
4. Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
6. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also format /data. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.
In TWRP:
2. Select Wipe
3. Select Factory Reset and wipe
4. Select System and wipe
5. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also select Data and wipe. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.
STEP 5B: Flashing a custom ROM
First, read up on a couple ROMs you're interested in. Make sure they are for your model. Understand that the newest ROMs often still have some small bugs still to be worked out. Once you have decided on a ROM:
1. Download the ROM - If you are downloading a stock/TouchWiz-based ROM, Google Apps (gapps) will be included. If you are downloading an AOSP-based ROM, be sure to download the appropriate gapps as well.
2. From your PC, place the ROM/gapps on your internal or external SD card. Remember where they are.
3. Boot into custom recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power. Release the power button at vibrate and when you see the blue script in the top left corner).
4. Perform the wipe listed above if you have not already.
5. From the main recovery screen:
>>CWM - Choose the "install .zip from SD Card" or "install .zip from external SD card" option (depending on where you placed the files) then navigate to the ROM file, select it and confirm.
>>TWRP - Choose Install and locate the desired ROM on your internal or external SD.
6. If you need to flash gapps, repeat step 5 and select the gapps package.
7. Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient and don't worry. Once the phone is booted, let it sit for 5 minutes, reboot and enjoy!

Post #2 will, as it claims, contains further useful information and links that will hopefully restore your device and continue to make your device-modding travels safe, smooth and fun. Please do not disregard the initial purpose of this thread and all the useful steps and information listed above. Post #2 is for those who have encountered common issues and errors, and are comfortable and familiar with all the required procedures for successfully modifying their devices. Cheers!
Latest AOSP/CM/AOKP flash error - Updating Your Bootloader
For continued support and updates, read mrhaley30705's bootloader advisory first, then follow the Task's directions outlined in this thread. This is intended for those not on the necessary Jelly Bean bootloaders, allowing them to flash future [CM] builds.
Bootloops
Bootloops are mainly caused because system files are conflicting and interfering with each other. This instability causes crashes at the boot sequence.
To find the cause of a bootloop you have to think about what you did before the issue began. After flashing a new rom, stock firmware, kernel or restoring a system backup?
Method 1
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik cache (custom recovery only)
4. Reboot your phone
If the problems still exists and you're sure it's not related to the ROM, then you need to wipe data as well:
Method 2
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (custom recovery only)
5. Reboot your phone
Method 3 - This last method involves restoring your backup in order to correct the conflicting software by replacing it with a functioning platform
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe Data
3. Restore backup
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik cache
6. Reboot your phone
Setting the wrong permissions or not adjusting permissions can also induce this error. Android is very dependent on the right permissions. If you adjust file permissions incorrectly you could find yourself in a bootloop. An easy fix is performing the "Fix permissions" option in recovery under Advanced. Be sure to mount the partitions before running the fix.
Status 7 error
When you receive a Status 7 error in CWM or TWRP, the most common reason for most users is that their recovery is not as up-to-date as the ROM requires it to be in order to install. There are a couple different ways to fix this, depending on each persons situation.
You've wiped everything on your device, removing your OS, and now you're receiving the error:
If you have a micro SD card, this fix is simple. You can download an up-to-date flashable CWM or TWRP recovery zip, place the file on your micro SD, flash the zip, go to Advanced and reboot recovery.
You've simply tried dirty flashing a ROM or ROM update and have only wiped data, cache and dalvik:
Use the above technique to update your recovery or boot back into your S3 to update. For CWM users, head to Rom Manager. If you use TWRP, hop into the Goo Manager app. Once you've applied the update, boot into recovery and flash the desired software.
Soft brick - Stuck at glowing Samsung logo
There are two types of bricks – the softbrick and hardbrick. The softbrick can be recovered if you can still get into download and recovery mode. Additionally, getting stuck at the Samsung logo is another one our most common issues seen. When you flash a stock ROM with Odin, your /data will be kept. This means your old dalvik cache is still being used for the new system files. If this is still possible, then boot into recovery and try these methods first:
Method A: Wipe
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Method B: Wipe and Restore
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. In CWM: Select Mounts and Storage and format /system. In TWRP: Wipe System
5. Restore your backup
6. Wipe Data again
7. Wipe Cache
If neither of these methods has got your device back up and running, you will need to restore the phone with stock firmware via Odin. Make sure the battery is fully charged and follow these steps:
1. Download and run Odin on your PC
2. Download the stock firmware for your device
3. Boot into download mode and, when prompted with the warning, press Volume Up to continue. To access download mode, power down the phone and hold down the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons
4. Connect the phone to PC via USB. Make sure you can see the highlight COM:ID box once the device is detected
5. In the tickable option boxes, ensure ‘RE-Partition’ is unticked. Only ‘Auto Reboot’ and ‘F. Reset Time’ need to be checked off
6. Now click the PDA button and select the tar you downloaded
7. Click on “Start” to flash the stock firmware
8. Wait until the flashing successfully finishes and you see a word ‘PASS’
9. Unplug your device, pull the battery, replace and immediately press Volume Up + Home + Power to enter stock recovery. Release the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner
10. Wipe data, cache and wipe Dalvik cache (under advanced). Reboot
Low internal memory / Multiple "0" folders
This is a common issue when flashing a 4.2 ROM. Android 4.2 has multi-user support. The 0 folder is user 1. The best way to avoid this multiple folder problem is to always flash from the latest CWM or TWRP recoveries, whichever you prefer. The duplicate folders issue can be solved via the install method listed under the Reverting to 4.1 ROMs? section or as follows, if you've already flashed your 4.2 ROM:
Staying on 4.2+ ROMs?
1. Copy your sdcard data to /data/media/0 and then delete the /0/0 folders
2. When prompted, choose merge
3. Verify there is nothing in the other 0 folder, then you can delete it
4. Repeat with other /0 folders, if applicable
5. Reboot
Reverting to 4.1 ROMs?
1. In the event you are planning on returning to a 4.1.X ROM, I encourage users to make a backup and save/backup everything on the device that they wish to have on their device again after flashing. Save/move everything either to a micro SD card or to your computer.
2.*When you are in recovery and preparing to flash, wipe: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data & /media
This will eliminate the OS and all traces of the previous 4.2 data and folders, allowing you to boot into your device with the full amount of available memory and no duplicate "0" folders.
Simple and Fast Wiping Mods
In this thread by Upndwn4par, there are three recovery-flashable wiping tools that you can use while working on your device. They can be incredibly useful tools that save some power button & volume rocker mashing. With the snappy flashing of these zips, you can easily perform a Cache & Dalvik Cache wipe, a Full Wipe or a Full Wipe Factory Reset. These are handy and will ensure you perform the necessary wipe to best optimize your ROM, mods and troubleshooting. Per-wipe details in the link.
Unroot your device
Need to get your S3 ready to return to the manufacturer? Follow this link and you'll be squared away in under 10 minutes. You'll need:
- Triangle Away installed
- The official stock firmware for your device
- Odin installed on your PC
- Your Samsung USB cable, if possible
- Samsung drivers installed on PC
Build your own Must Have toolkit
In the world of rooted phones running custom ROMs, you will find the simple micro SD card to be the best $10 you've ever spent. I would strongly encourage everyone to purchase one of these and build themselves their very own emergency-response toolkit, stored right on the device. To do this, grab yourself a micro SD card and place these files on it:
- Your stock Nandroid backup
- Your most recent or preferred Nandroid running your current custom ROM
- The ROM/gapps you're currently running
- A current flashable CWM 6.0.3.0 / 6.0.3.1 or TWRP 2.4.4.0 / 2.5.0.0 custom recovery
- A flashable stock ROM
First.

Please share. Lots of posts from beginners dealing with issues related to wrong root methods, outdated recoveries or incorrectly flashed files. Let's help make it a smooth transition by getting them the right procedures. Cheers!
cant find a recovery for SGH-i747M, any tip?

and flashed the cyanogenmod d2att rom, i just have to manually add my carrier APN settings.
working good so far, will come back 2 morrow and report more.
Very Nice and neatly done. I'm definitely bookmarking this page and help out our future xda members!
Thanks!
Beer,

This one is makes wiping easier so you know a step wasn't skipped and can be flashed in a custom recovery everytime you flash a ROM. I never get a bad flash using this:

And also list the most invaluable asset: An awesome file explorer like root explorer or other tools they should also have when flashing
thanks, hednik! will make some mods today to the thread. cheers!
I really like the way this thread is shaping up. :good:
Have you thought about adding something like a rescue / emergency tips section?
Something like:
To get out of boot loops do X.
If you are stuck on the splash screen do Y.
Always store a flashable recovery, stock ROM, and stock backup on your external sd card.
Etc, etc.

This would be good because bootloops and bricks normally aren't that bad at all on our devices. People think bricked their device and panic when its not hard to recover form that.
I've flashed hundreds of times in the past years and never had a soft brick or bootloop. *Looks for the closest piece of solid oak*
Agreed. Good stuff. I'll get started on an edit and have it up by this weekend. Thanks guys
Updated Post #2. Added lots of new material. Thanks to Hednik and Upndwn4par for the suggestions and again, many thanks to all those who have put in the effort behind all the information on this thread. I simply consolidate and share. Cheers!

Would it be worth adding something about moving between 4.1.X and 4.2.x roms? Regarding the changes to internal sd. I know as a rom flashing fiend I flip flop between the two pretty often.
Great post by the way, will be very helpful for new users!!

Question,
If one used these instructions originally to install Clean Rom version 1.5 on their Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014)
-boot to download mode and Flash autorootp600mj4.tar.md5 via ODIN AP slot keep default settings.
-Let it reboot to ROM by itself
-Back up apps with TB (you should have root now)
-Copy Clean ROM 1.5 zip file (or newer) to your EXT SD CARD (internal will be erased when doing factory reset next steps)
- reboot to download mode and Flash stockrecoverymj4.tar.md5 via ODIN AP slot keep default settings.
-Just when rebooting hold power+vol UP to go to stock recovery you just flashed (no need to let it boot to ROM, if you miss its ok just reboot from ROM and do the button combination when booting up i.e. before spashscreen shows up)
-Factory reset and reboot
-Just when rebooting hold power+vol DOWN to go to download mode (If you miss the button combination reboot from ROM to recovery and factory reset and then repeat this step)
-Flash TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-lt03wifiue.zip) from ODIN AP slot
-Just when rebooting hold power+vol UP to go to TWRP you just flashed (If you miss this step you have to flash stock recovery again to do the factory reset, AFAIK doing factory reset from TWRP has issues so I didnt do it, only use stock recovery for that)
-go to settings and check rm -rf
-mount ExtSDcard
-install Clean ROM (DO NOT wipe again)

To update to 2.0 R2, would this now be the procedure to ensure a proper flash to new version?
-First backup whatever apps/data you need.
-Copy Clean ROM 2.0 R2 zip to your EXT SD CARD (internal will be erased when doing factory reset next steps)
-Reboot - hold power+vol UP - IN TWRP which is already installed = Choose advance tab under wipe, then choose wiping system, cache & Dalvik cache. (Don't choose data because boot loops can occur?)
-go to settings and check rm -rf (is this step necessary?)
-mount ExtSDcard
-install Clean ROM (DO NOT wipe again)
Thanks

I followed the above to upgrade, but all my apps (and settings like wifi password) that I had installed were still present after the install of Clean Rom 2.0 R2. Is that because I did NOT choose to wipe the DATA in the wipe process from TWRP? Is there any caveats to updating like this?
Thanks
