[Q] Help With Installing CyanogenMod 11.0 - VILLUMINATI - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

The phone is/was rooted (by one click) and with gc01 and i believed it was stock rom. This my first time doing this so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
I was following at least I think I was trying to follow instructions listed on post 77 link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48979264&postcount=770
I skipped step 1 and went to step 2. I opened up the One-Click EL26 Stock CWM5.exe. I waited for it to recoginze and clicked start. It went into screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy 2" but with a yellow triangle with exclamation and won't remove from this screen? Also holding the power button doesn't work when trying to turn it off from this screen; so the battery have to remove.
I tried to boot into recovery and it does allow me to do so. It takes me to ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7. Any help would be good? Thanks in advance.

Since you can still boot into Clockwork Recovery then download a stock rom and flash via recovery.

Thanks a ton for the information. I guess I will download a stock rom from: rwilco12 website. Does it have to the same rom I had previously which was the gc01? Or should I take it back to ICS FI22 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted? I know that a non jb modem is needed for CM11. Did I screwed up with the instructions gives for the CM11 or will it not work with my phone?
Also I was trying to send you a donation but it stated : We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem.
Thanks once again.

Since you were able to get into ClockWorkMod recovery mode, you should have been able to continue with step 5.

Flash a recovery that can help with flashing CM 11 roms. a CM 10.2 rom with the built in kernel recovery can do so.
If this method doesn't help. Follow this procedure to installing CM11 based ROMs for the E4GT.

[Q] CleanROM + error flashing zip = facedesking. Need help please. Info inside.

Ok so here is what I have done so far:
1.) I rooted via this method:
Step 1: Download Odin v3.07 and CF root (for non-AT&T variants, find the root file for your phone and plug that in for this CF root link. The rest of this guide should work for you). After you do that, right-click and extract the files to somewhere easily accessible (like your desktop).
Step 2: Go to Settings>Developer Options>turn developer options on>turn on USB debugging
Step 3: Make sure your phone is not connected to the computer at this point. Open up Odin, select PDA, navigate to CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
Step 4: Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button (in this case volume up)
Step 5: USB connect your phone to your computer and in Odin make sure Repartition is not checked. Leave everything else alone. Click the Start button and wait for your phone to reboot twice.​
2.) installed goomanager and ran the script that installs twrp for you and ran a recovery
3.) booted into twrp, cleared cache/d-something cache, did factory reset, and the system reset (forgot the exact name)
4.) tried to install cleanrom (had it on my internal SD card) and got the "error flashing zip" line
I've looked around reading everyone's solutions and it's come down to
a.) i need to reinstall/redownload and try again. Thing is, idk how to remove all this crap (my backup was created after doing the twrp stuff) so that I can reinstall
b.) twrp is the issue and i need to use CWM. again, not sure how to remove twrp before installing CWM and the guides that I've come across to install CWM aren't simple enough for me (im new to this)
Any insight would be great. I've been loading back into my backup trying to start over and I'm afraid if I keep messing around I will brick my phone which is why I have come to you guys. Trust me I've been looking stuff up for hours and I still can't seem to figure it out
I would do that, but it's just me.
-I would boot in recovery , wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system.
-Boot in Download mode, flash the appropriate stock rom.
-Let it boot in stock rom.
What i do to root and install twrp.
- I boot in download I run cf-Autoroot through odin, then let it boot
- I boot in downaload again and run twrp through odin again let reboot (you need the correct twrp file to flash with odin).
You now have a freshly rooted and clean install of everything. Check Md5 or redownload CleanRom.
When i install cleanrom i reboot in recovery,I wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system, then i install the rom and reboot to system, i never had issues doing everything this way. I believe its the correct and clean way to do.

[Q] Softbrick Samsung Gio

Hello there,
I have a problem with my samsung gio device. I decided to update the unofficial cyanogenmod, but the install interrupts and aborted.
Now I can boot until the Samsung logo came. An other Forum gave me the hint, that the devica has a softbrick.
They gave me also the hint to the following manual.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573628
I tried to do this manual, but I dont undersstand what to do in Point 3.
Could anyone help me and try out a step by step manual for me, that I can unbrick my Samsung mobile?
Thanks a lot! :fingers-crossed:
just flash a cwm 5.0.2.8 or a newer one because you use cyanomod rom use ext4 only
download one,put your phone in download mode power menu and volume down togetter.
connect phone with computer
start odin see that phone is recognised
insert the cwm clicking one package and put the package in odin(see odin how to)
flash...

Issue with reinstall CyanogenMod 12 Latest Release Galaxy Note 2 - Reboot loop TWRP

Good Day,
Thanks for taking the time to read my posting.
I am running a Galaxy Note 2 with TWRP v2.8.7.0. Previously, had been running CyanogenMod 12 Latest Release from 2015-11-17.
Had an issue with the phone rebooting, went into TWRP to clear Cache/Davlik Cache, seen an error after this with /Data partition not being mounted(phone was encrypted). Proceeded to go into TWRP and Format Data then reinstall the ZIP listed above from an external SD card, successfully completed installation of ZIP file for CyanogenMod 12. When I reboot the device from TWRP, through Reboot->System, keeps rebooting back into TWRP and not into CyanogenMod.
I have connected the device to a Windows computer, confirmed that I can see it connected through USB. When I issue abd devices, I see the ##### recovery listed for the device, but if I issue fastboot devices, no device is listed.
Any recommendations for what could be done to reinstall the CyanogenMod build on my device so that it can boot properly would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone on the community for the support, education and feedback over the years and for all the hard work that you do, cheers to you.
Maybe flash back to a completely stock rom, confirm that everything works, flash twrp, and cm again?
I was thinking about recovery to stock recovery when I read your post .
Tried the stock recovery using Odin3-v3.07 pointing to CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5(1/20/2015), this appeared to complete from Odin, but the phone still went into a reboot loop into CyanogenMod, but never fully started up, thereafter.
Went to the autoroot.chainfire.eu site, downloaded the latest stock recovery for device.
Pulled the battery, back into TWRP, select Wipe/Factory reset from TWRP. Installed Samsung Kies onto desktop, ran Odin3-v3.10.6 pointing AP to CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5 dated from 3/31/2016. Then went to phone and go to download mode (turn off first, press and hold following buttons: vol down + home + power). Then Press Up Volume key to get into Download mode, then connect it to PC via USB. Device shown in Odin under ID:COM. On Option uncheck “Repartition”. After reboot, phone boot into IMG for CyanogenMod. Confirmed access to phone thereafter.
Thanks for the feedback, hope this helps someone down the line, if they run into the same issue.

The Plan (now guide)

The post below started out as my proposed plan for updating a S3 i747m (Canadian) from stock 4.4.2 to CM11. I've since gone back and updated it with the results to turn it into more of a guide for the next moder. This will not do a carrier unlock and it will flip your warranty bit.
Prep:
Download and install Odin_v3.09.zip (recommended for JellyBean/KitKat firmwares) (droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/)
Download and install the Samsung drivers (samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I747MBBATT#)
Download the latest appropriate TWRP (at the time if writing it was twrp-3.0.2-0-d2can.img.tar, not the .img but the .tar file, from the dl.twrp.me/d2can page).
Download CyanogenMod and copy it to the external SD card (started with the latest CM11 build with the stagefright fix from download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=d2lte).
Download Gapps and copy it to the external SD card (personally I grabbed the ARM/4.4/Nano from opengapps.org).
Install recovery:
Boot into Download Mode on the S3 (hold home + volume down, hit power button, then volume up at the confirmation screen)
Launch Odin (as admin) and uncheck everything except Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
Select the TWRP .tar file in the AP (apparently used to be PDA) mode and flash the recovery
Once the phone has rebooted successfully, shut it down.
Install CyanogenMod:
Boot into recovery (hold home + volume up, hit power button)
Do a nandroid backup for good measure
Do an advanced wipe of your system, data, internal storage and caches (if you don't you get an error 7)
Flash CyanogenMod
Flash Gapps
Reboot
That successfully installed CM11. As it went so smoothly, I decided to try install CM12.1 right away. I grabbed the "cm-12.1-20160314-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip" (from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66726324&postcount=1202), got a copy of the ARM/5.1/Nano from opengapps.org and repeated the above process with success. All seems to be stable so far.
One unknown I had was the deleting of "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and "/system/recovery-from-boot.p" as specified in some guides. audit13 mentioned it probably wasn't necessary and I can confirm it wasn't.
Thanks again to audit13 for their vote of confidence.
Plan looks good except I don't think it is necessary to mount the partition in twrp and delete the two files. I have flashed the Telus and T-Mobile versions of the s3 with custom roms and have never had to delete any particular files prior to flashing.

No OS installed : Not able to shutdown & enter twrp.

I was trying to install Iron rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235
and followed the below steps as mentioned in the installation document of roms thread..
1. Download the rom and put it to your SD card or internal storage
2. Download latest bootloader and modem for SM-T705 and bootloader only for SM-T700
3. Boot into download mode, download latest Odin available and flash BL in BL tab and CP in CP tab
4. Make sure you use most recent TWRP which can be found T705 or T700
5. Flash TWRP with odin in AP tab
6. Boot into recovery using: home+power on + volume up
7. Select wipe, advanced wipe: data, cache, dalvik-cache and system
8. Install the rom (in aroma select "dirty flash", otherwise you may have problems!)
9. After rom installation reboot and wait around 20 minutes till the tab boots up
10. Enjoy MM on your Tab S!
I followed steps 1 to 7 successfully. When I tried step 8 it said "Failed to map file IronRom_SM-T70X_V3.2.zip" in external sd card.
Now when pressed rebooted it warned that "No OS is installed."
After rebooting its stuck in the boot screen with "powered by android logo. I pressed power button for 1 min and still tab is not shutting down.
Questions
1) How to do shutdown the tab & reboot to twrp?
2) How do i fix the "Failed to map file IronRom_SM-T70X_V3.2.zip" issue and install IronRom_SM-T70X_V3.2.zip?
3) Atleast how to enter into download mode so that I ca at least install stock rom?
Please help!

When press all the buttons ie. power +volume up +volume down+home its showing the battery charging screen even though the tab is not plugged in.
So since tab is still not shutdown i am not able to try to boot to recovery.
Please guide.
Power volume - and home button should get you in to download mode so you can flash a stock rom......
