Been a while since i updated my device so i wanted to try out the new 4.4. I see that i needed CWM 6.0.4.3 and i only have 6.0.3.0. I downloaded Rom manager and installed the update that way and Rom manager says its is running the 6.0.4.3 but when i go to the recovery it says the old version is still running and gives me the expected error when i try to flash the 4.4 ROM. I also tried to download the the update file and flash that in recovery and it didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It probably something simple and i will feel like an idiot when someone chimes in........

I updated mine yesterday from the rom mananger and had no problems.
1 thing you should know before you go and try the 4.4 kitkat is that sd card isnt showing. I love the rom but cant get to anything on my sd card.
Good luck.
@guttus
Just a Rule of Thumb. It is advisable to flash Recoveries with ODIN. I am very well aware you can use Rom Manager or Goo Manager, but this is just a thumb rule for flashing the Recovery Partition.
Also note, flashing wrong Recovery can cause hard brick.

Hi all. I'm on the i9305 and want to flash latest recovery for kitkat. I'm on philz recovery and wondered if there was one of his I could use. I searched xda but I couldn't find anything. Also I couldn't find an Odin (tar) file for normal cwm. Omni and cm only have the zip and IMG files.

I did do this update via oden. Also flashed Phil's recovery from there. This is where i tried to flash the 4.4 gapps to fix the issue with no luck.
Please post a log of the error when you tried to flash CM Kitkat. If you can't pull the log file, take a photo.
so, i flashed the kitkat bootloader from odin, then flashed the zip from philz touch recovery. the kernel splash screen stayed on for a long time, then the screen went out, and it loaded to the kernel splash, then to recovery. then i realized i hadnt wiped, so i flashed the kitkat stock rom through odin, installed philz touch recovery, did a full wipe, then installed the zip, and the same thing happened. being a new member with less than 10 posts i cant post on the official thread, so... whats the deal? what could the problem be?
EDIT: my bad everyone. i found a misleading link to philz, the newest version in that thread was not the newest version.
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n5110/philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110.tar.md5 use this. if you have the same problem

in aroma choose the stock kernel option. I had the same bootloop problem ....it kept going into recovery.
After choosing the stock kernel everything was smooth.
off course pls confirm that you are using the correct ROM version
for 5100 version is 1.2
1.3 is only for 5110
I didn't see any kernel options let me make a nandroid and run it again. and yeah I have the 5110. Thanks
hey, i reinstalled it, there were no kernel options, but i left the bootanimation option on stock samsung, and i had been using the XAR region, so i tried btu this time, because thats what the stock rom i have installed is. still crashes to recovery
EDIT: and after restoring my nandroid, i get to the rom splash screen, and it just loops there.
I have the same problem...Where is the Stock KK that u can flash thru Odin ???

Here is the link to Stock KK:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29611
Also download Odin v3.09 from the same link.
Then follow these instructions:
1) Unzip the Download zip file, you will get N5110XXDNE1_N5110OXADNE1_HOME.tar.md5
2) Put the tablet in Download mode
3) Install N5110XXDNE1_N5110OXADNE1_HOME.tar.md5 using "PA" option of ODIN.
4) It will take a while, let it finish.
5) If that works, reboot back to download mode
6) Install latest Philz recovery, using ODIN's PA option.
7) Reboot into recovery, and install any custom ROMS.
Note: This will trip your KNOX counter

thats the thing.... i flashed it, i have stock rooted kitkat running fine, i have philz recovery running fine, but when i try to flash the custom kitkat rom, i wipe, flash the zip, the aroma installer boots i choose a few options, the aroma installer completes, then i reboot and it just crashes to recovery, no matter how many times i try, how many factory resets i do, anything. knox is tripped, but i can't run the rom. i had the 4.2.2 custom touchwiz from the same developer running fine, but then i decided i had to have kitkat, and.... nothing. it simply won't run.
if it matters, i am already running the same stock rom you linked to, 4.4.2 btu
EDIT: just for the record, i am not new to this in general, only this particular device - my sprint galaxy s3 is running carbon rom, my galaxy gear is running null rom, i flashed N3BULA on my dad's verizon galaxy note two, and ive already decided on a rom for the note 3 i am getting at the end of july.
this is just my first time encountering this problem, all assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated.

Ok, so first try to validate the MD5 of the file that you are installing.
if you are installing "CivZ-FlexNote8.0_KK-Rev1.3-N5110_signed.zip" then the MD5 should match as below:
b8abeb1ec9535ef526d02ef402788359
Validate the MD5 in PC as well as Tablet. Sometime you get a good download on PC, but when you copy it to Phone/tablet file might not get copied properly.
Second option you can try to install another 4.4.2 based ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763274
Again validate the MD5 before installing.

Hey, those who were having problems, you probably got the wrong recovery. i had two versions of philz on my computer, and i flashed philz 5 instead of philz 6.
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n5110/philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110.tar.md5

Thanx my man...u hit it right on the head...Wrong Recovery...I hope everyone who has this problem reads ur post...Thanx again Buddy...:good::good:
Okay so for starters you can switch out a T999 motherboard for a T999L and get LTE. So I did this and I rooted and ROM'd the new mobo and I put on the T999 TWRP (DocHoliday77 said it would be fine in his Galaxy s3 LTE thread) and it shows absolutely nothing. I can see folders in the root of the device but if I look and any of the folders nothing is inside them. And when I reboot it says no OS installed. CWM touch works fine but I prefer TWRP. Any ideas?
You probably need to flash a rom or firmware.
To see files in /system in recovery you first hsve to mount system.
I'm already running the latest snapshot of CM11 right now. And I can't mount anything. If I go to the mount menu of TWRP and press anything, it just freezes and I have to go back to the main menu. If I try to fix permissions it says "unable to mount (everything)." Why does CWM work and TWRP doesn't? And why can't I get TWRP to mount?
What version of TWRP are you trying? What version of CWM?
2.7.1.0 for TWRP and 6.0.4.5 for CWM
Not sure then. Usually its none, or both thst have that problem. It has to do with the devices hardware revision if im not mistaken. They solved this problem in the Sprint forums and I am hoping to use their info to do the same here. Just gotta find the time!
I prefer TWRP as well, but my best advice is to just stick with cwm gor now until we can figure this all out.
Were you able to flash a rom or firmware and get it to boot?
Now that I think of it, you might want to Odin flash the stock or root66 firmware and try TWRP again after that. You never know....
CyanogenMod 11 is running fine right now with no problems (no major bugs at least). As for Odining back to stock that would take hours for me. It takes well over an hour and a half just do d/l the CM ROM. I'll just stick to CWM for now i guess. Maybe i'll find a fix or somthing that will make it work. Thanks Doc :good:
If you decide to give it a try, download from my firmware thread. itll be faster than sammobile or other firmware sites.
So I went back to stock with the root66 fw and I did it all over again and its still not working. The CWM version works and I'm back on CyanogenMod, but TWRP is still not working. Could it be because I have BOOTLOADER RP SWREV 1 or Qualcomm secureboot enabled?
I dont believe so. My best guess is its the hw version of your device. Like I mentioned before, they ran into similar problems in the Sprint forums. CWM may have already incorporated the fix and TWRP may not have.
If thats not the case then im really not sure what else it could ben
I guess I'll take a look at the Sprint forums and see any contacting the TWRP team.
Just thought I'd post and say that TWRP 2.8.0.0 did not fix the issue. *sad face*
There's another recovery I think I forgot about before. Look for Philz cwm recovery. Its a modified cwm, but a lot of people who had trouble with cwm or twrp found philz worked fine.
Sorry youre having so much trouble still...

I have tried to flash the following ROMs:

RocketTab v3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507772
Flash fails with:
Installation aborted (bad), can't open <path to zip file><name of zip>
This happens after a factory reset, wipe data, cache.
I have a Samsung S3 that I have rooted, and then flashed many times. Before that I had an HTC EVO. I am not new to the process, but apparently I am missing something here.
Got any suggestions?
Which Odin Version you are used to install The Recovery? Try an other Version.
Is your Rom on The micro Sdcard ? If you use Philz so is The max capacity 32 GB, if you use TWRP so is max 64 GB supported.

How do you rooted your Tab?
With Stockrecovery you can not flash a Rom or Recovery.
Flash Philz or TWRP With Odin, reboot to The New flashen Recovery , than you can install a Rom.

Sounds like the rom download is bad. Check the md5 of the rom before trying to install.
Kind of success. I downloaded the same version of PhilZ, for Odin, on my laptop.
I put the tablet in download mode and flashed the recovery with Odin.
I downloaded the ROM again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-stockrom-kitkat-version-16-08-2014-t2849742). This is one I had tried before. This time to my laptop and copied it to the tablet. The other times, I had downloaded the ROM directly onto the tablet.
While it was in the process of flashing, there were some video anomolies.
I rebooted the tablet into recovery and flashed the ROM. It hung on SAMSUNG for a very long time after the flash and reboot. I powered it off and rebooted. It booted completely this time, but not without some issues. The first thing was when the message pops up that Android is optimizing apps. That bar was all screwy looking, snowy. (see attached image)
Once I got to the lock screen and entered the pin, the screen "fractured", pieces shifted around, and the tablet locked up. I wish I had taken a picture of it. Never seen anything like it.
I had not done a data wipe yet. I did a data wipe, rebooted, entered the pin, tablet locked up again.
I then was going to restore the backup I made before the flashing. It wouldn't restore because of an MD5 mismatch. I had restored this backup previously with no problem.
I restored an older backup and then spent a couple of hours getting everything back to the level of the now broken backup.
Flash nolekat and all went fine.
I've had problems as well. I normally flash via a recovery. At times I'll have an md5 mismatch or it just doesn't work; I've even backed up a working ROM only to find out I can't restore the same backup. Seems like a hit or miss with me
I tried flashing NoleKat and it failed on me too.

bierma32 said:
At one of your post you write after flashing you must put in the Pin?
So you have make not a clean install or factory reset, you done a wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
You must do a clean install if you come from different Roms or Version.

So the first thing I noticed is, you listed the bold above. That means the rom is flashed? Thats my rom. Its stock and you even show the correct kernel. (although I would update to a newer one). Next thing is, after you download use an MD5 checker and compare to the rom thread or AFH next time. This will indicate if there are issues with the download or the file itself after moving it. Report back for us so we can proceed to help you further
Have you tried full unroot through SuperSU app and reflash latest SuperSU via recovery ?
OK. So I completely bricked the phone trying to get this to work.
I was able to download the ORIGINAL stock unrooted rom.
I rooted it again after getting it back up. I tried to flash a couple of ROMS, but TWRP just continues to reset back to TWRP menu when I flash. So I changed to Philz. Aborts each time
It sounds to me like the best plan at this point would be to Odin back to stock and start over. Something went wrong somewhere!
Yeah. If you can get into download mode then you didn't brick. Download the stock tar and try again.
I already restored it back to stock. I've done this 3x now. I'm stock again now, but each time I use the toolkit and reboot, when I try to flash ANY rom, it says failed or corrupt.
I've tried philz and TWRP. Both are giving the same results
I've rooted several phones and no issue. I was able to install one earlier before I bricked the first time, but the radio/data kept having issues even after I did the fix so I tried another rom, but to no avail.

Well, I just tried that also with the newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 and it didn't take through ODIN. The guy fell over when I went to see it as the the phone tried to do the update.
I used ODIN to download Philz and it took.
I then tried to flash Liquid Smooth and it aborted saying it can't open /storage/sdcard1/LS-LP-v4.0-2015-01-16- liquid_trltespr.zip (bad)

Now that none of these options worked (for some strange reason), I went back to the toolkit and re-rooted the phone and got rid of knox, added busybox, etc... Now I AM rooted again, but none of the roms will install.
I have a rooted phone that can't flash.
I tried all of the roms that I downloaded to my sd card, but none seem to work.
Even though I have a new 128 gb sandisc ultra, is it possible that I have a bad card??
I'm just baffled. I've been rooting phones for years, but this one is strange.
Is there a way to use odin to flash a rom?? I know it would have to be a tar file
Definitely yes... Put the rom on the internal memory and you will be good to go!

Unless your card is bad (or your drivers on your pc) the problems you are experiencing are still unfortunately most likely internet connection or user related errors. You don't detail your steps carefully. This is important in this situation.
Try downloading a ROM to your computer and transfer it to the internal storage. Also, how are you using philz recovery, I thought only twrp worked for our phone. Download the right recovery here, flash with Odin in PDA slot from download mode. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/266
UPDATE!!!!!
Thanks EVERYBODY... I used my old 4GB SanDisk mini card and it is still good.
I downloaded the rom to the card and it took immediately.
The 128GB card that I bought is junk.
It is rooted and I have an AWESOME rom now.
