i tried to go to recovery mode to install CM 11 which is KitKat of course but it keeps on failing..I can install any kind of rom that's jelly bean but when i try to install a kitkat rom, it won't let me. right now, i am using the latest CarbonRom Nightly and i'm trying to transition to CM 11. i did the factory reset, clear cache, and clear dalvik cache but it still won't work. what should i do? any help would be great! Thanks!
Are you running the latest TWRP or CWM? What errors are you getting? Is your bootloader compatible with the ROM?

when i try to install any rom other than cm10 and 10.1 it wont go past the boot logo i think jedi mind trick still works i have used CWM recovery and twrp recovery and i always wipe in this order; cache,dalvik,factory,system..... then i install and wipe cache and dalvik again do my gapps if there is one then another cache and dalvik and boot and i always hang on the bootlogo could the wrong gapps version make any difference ike using 4.2.1 gapps on 4.1 or 4.0 cause it not to boot it shouldnt keep it from booting
One way to find out if it is the gapps causing the problem is to install the rom, after installing the rom DO NOT install gapps and reboot the rom and see if it comes up, if it comes up fine then reboot into recovery and install gapps, then if it doesn't come up you know it is the gapps. I always install this way because I have had issues with gapps, need to make sure you have the right gapps for the rom your installing, sometimes I get a bad download and have the same problem, just redownload and try again
can't post a link yet but go to goo.im/gapps, that has helped me

Jedi mind Trick isn't too bad for our phone
To get Jedi mind trick to install without boot loop or boot hang then after you flash a ROM do a factory reset instead of wiping dalvik and cache then reboot

Guys,
Need your help. I am unable to install any Android 4.3 ROMs in my G Note II. I have tried PA 3.99, ProBam 4.4.1, etc. but all of them getting stuck right at the boot animation screen. Here is my status and what I've already tried:
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.5 (latest one available with 4.3 support)
Tried Android Revolution HD Super Wipe Script
Tried Factory Reset + Wipe Cache Partition + Wipe Dalvik Cache
Tried formatting Internal Storage
Tried the method: Factory Reset + Install ROM + Clear Cache/Dalvik + Install GApps + Clear Cache/Dalvik
Tried multiple wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache combinations as suggested in forums
Still no dice. I am stuck at the boot animation screen. If I install any 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 ROMs, all goes perfectly fine.
I had installed a 4.3 ROM previously, then reverted back to 4.2.2 for stability. Now I want to try 4.3 ROMs since they are much more usable now.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you need to include a wipe of system partition when you perform the full wipe procedure, or as just recommended using philz recovery, use the wiped data/factory reset: Clean to install a new rom.

I got nandroid backups taken using CWM. I believe, if I move over to Philz, I might loose the ability to restore them, right?
No other method to do this using CWM? I can try formatting /system if required.

AFAIK PhilZ recovery can restore CWM backups. To be sure you can create a new Nandroid backup after installating PhilZ recovery.
(TWRP is the best for me )
Anyway do you flash a custom kernel or a mod/theme?

Nope, I never go for customer kernels or themes. Happy with default kernels.
I see.. Lemme try Philz recovery and wipe the system and retry installing PA 3.99.

That worked! I installed Philz recovery and used the "Clean to install a new rom" option under "wipe data/factory reset".
Basically, I had to wipe the /system partition. I was under the impression that it was /sdcard. But now in love with Philz Recovery with all those options, along with the goodness of CWM Recovery.
Thanks a ton for all who helped!
Happy for you
hi,everyone.
i've just tried to install cm11 in my galaxy nexus and it cannot boot on now
its installation is fail because status 7 in the cwm recovery
i still cant boot on my phone
can anyone help me
What version of CWM Recovery are you on? An update of the recovery to a newer build might help.
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat ROM!
What version of Android are you coming from? Anytime you are switching to a different ROM, especially from a JellyBean (4.3 or other) to a KitKat 4.4 ROM, you must do a clean wipe of your phone prior to installation. It sounds like you tried to do a dirty flash. Boot into recovery, and format data, cache, and dalvik cache, then try flashing the CM11 and Gapps.
If that doesn't work...try this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302599

i am coming from the stock android 4.3 rom. I've tried wipe the data,wipe cache and dalvik cache.However,it just keeps saying installation error in the cwm touch recovery because of the status 7.
That method doesnt work for me. i still even cannot boot on my phone.how can i send it in again
OK, first you need to manually boot into your recovery by holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time and then pressing the power button. You should get into your bootloader and then be able choose recovery. I assume you have a backup...so just flash back to your stock android 4.3. Then once you are able to get back into your phone see if you can update your cwm. If updating you cwm turns out not to be the issue then go watch a YouTube video on how to fix the status 7 error. It basically involves copying the zip file you are trying to flash over to your computer and editing one of the files. Goodluck...let me know if this works.

check your baseband..you should be in the latest radio..mine is XXLH1..other rom required latest baseband..
Pretty sure it sounds like he is on an outdated version of cwm, status 7 errors can be signs of old recovery version. Fastboot flash the latest cwm.
Hey guys,
I wanted help installing Unofficial CM 11 ROM on my Galaxy S III (T-Mobile). I tried installing sswb27's unofficial ROM of CM 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547825&highlight=cm+11) I tried installing it with latest version of CWMR & TWRP, it is installed but it doesn't boot up, like the bootup animations just keep going, I've waited for about 2 hours. But it doesn't seem to work. If anyone can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate your help!
Cheers!
Wipe Dalvik + Cache in recovery. If that didn't help, do factory reset.

Did all of those. Dalvik, Cache, & Factory Reset.
Try another Kitkat Rom if that's what you are looking for. Perhaps the port has issues.

Upgrading to the newest TWRP did the trick! Everything is working fine now. :good:
Thanks for the help!
was on software D with stock rom 4.4.2.. I am able to root.. and then able to get get TWRP for stock 4.4.2 install. So now I have custom recovery.
So I had the dimming issues and all fingers point to downgrading to stock 4.2.2 for ROM compatibility. So found the files to to downgrade to 4.2.2 with version of TWRP 2.7.0.1. So that seems to work. I don't get dimming issues with the LG boot screen comes up for example (my assumption that I have 4.2.2. installed now).
Now any ROM I throw at it, Slimkat, Mahdi, Pacman, CM11, it either freezes at boot and/or freezes in a few seconds once it's booted and I can swipe around in the OS. I tried wiping cache, dalvik, data, system, internal SD hoping that help install the rom cleanly, but still no go..
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
