[Q] ARHD 5.2.2 Hang what am I doing wrong?

I've been running ARHD 5.1.7 and its been stable OK.
Been trying to upgrade to 5.2.2 but for some reason it either gets stuck at the boot screen or else manages to get pass then but then will hang the moment I try to do anything.
Followed instructions to use Super Wipe per the ARHD pg. And also tried to factory reset first before installing. Same result.
Can anyone help me please? Seems to work for everyone else.
Thank you.

Did u check the md5 sum and make sure ur download is good first? I assume that u r rooted correctly right? Make sure u r not trying to flash it through cwm. And make sure ur battery isn't low or keep it plugged in on charge only

U r not rebooting after super wipe r u? As soon as wipe is done it tells u to install Rom

Md5 checked when downloading the file. Matched.
Should be rooted correctly since i've been been upgrading the ARHD a few version till i got to 5.1.7.
I used recovery and selected installed the zip from SD card --that is correct? not flashing it thru cwm like u said i should not be doing right?
I have tried with reboot and not rebooting after super wipe. Same result.
Any other possiblity?
Thanks.

I would trash that download and download a new zip then try it again. Sounds like u r doing it right

hahaha if anything i'm persistent. I actually redownloaded. I tried with the 5.2.0 before and had the same issue so thought maybe i'd have better luck with the 5.2.2
It seems that i'm having trouble getting to 5.2.x
maybe just wait for 5.2.3 but it seems that i'm having problems getting to teh 5.2.x version
Thank you Jess086

now i'm lost. my knowledge doesn't go that far. I'm using CWM recovery i think. and to get to 5.1.7 had to do the ext4...i THINK.
would you so kind as to explain in more detail the steps u've described? How to flash back the old one?
Thanks so much.

Don't worry about the old one. Get the new ext4 recovery out of the dev. Section. Will be one of the top threads. Flash it. Then boot to recovery and go to where it says wipe and wipe the catch, dev catch, and the factory wipe u already did. Then flash the wipe download for ext4 when its done it will say u can now flash the arhd Rom so go to install fro SD card and fond Rom zip and flash it then reboot. U will be good hopefully. Keep me posted

Do you mean this one? Is it different from the Super Wipe from the ARHD pg?
ClockWorkMod 2 & 3 - ( Edify Script )
FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_
This patch can be applied prior to flashing the ROM, please note, this zip will wipe your device and format all partitions to EXT4.

jess086. i finally got enought posts to post in the aRHD thread and the solution it to flash the 1ghz patch after flashing the ROM and that seems to have done the job.
Thank you.

twrp is not a bad idea tho imo. touch part of philz cwm is awkward at best and begging for a fatal mistake in other words touching the wrong thing and poof there goes (fill in the blank). While recovery is no place to play around in and the same can happen using twrp, the overall features one being the customizable lockscreen timeout far outweigh cwm. plus whats up with the oddball multi zip flash folder thing on philz? not discrediting his work its more than i couldve done, just saying i feel team win makes a better product if you will. just my two cents.

[Q] I am destroying my tablet - Can some one help me ?

Hello. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T210 and i think i really screwed it up. I did not make any backup, that was mistake NR one.
I got clock work mode up and running but i cant install any ROM, have tried The original Firmware, RocketTab, Cyanogenmod and cant pass the installation process and i think i cant turn back cause i got no backup and no way to install it again.
When i run any of these ROMs i get this error :
format() expects 4 args, got 5

No matter what i do, im a a bit scared know cause i think i am really close on destroying the tablet.

great rom, minimal issues. philz advanced recovery is cwm with a good touch interface and more and very helpful options.
So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12949
Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:

If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.

[Q] Clockwork Mod and TWRP not working

Hey folks,
I have tried this with 2 GS 3's, and I have even tried multiple different versions of twrp just to make sure, and I still have the same issue. I flashed Clockwork Mod and twrp using Flashify and Odin, however when I actually go to make Nandroid back up, or flash anything, I get the "can't mount" messages from CWM and an empty folder from twrp. I have attached pictures to show the issue. As I said, I tried multiple methods, and multiple versions, on 2 separate devices, yet came to the same end. Does anyone know anything about this?

Really? No one? lol

ok , just throwing this out there... are you using latest twrp , what about the 'fix permissions' option , tried installing via fastboot from laptop (?). sorry dont have more. still newb-ish myself.
last screenshot says 'no OS' , you have no ROM on your phone(?).
also , are some knowledgeable folks on this thread...

If by fast boot you mean use Odin in my laptop, then Yessir I did. Both with clockwork mod and twrp. Everything downloads and installs fine. It's the actual functionality that is dysfunctional. It says I have no os, but I do have my stock Rom on there and it boots just fine. Thank you so much for actually responding, it means a lot. I'll look into the that and hopefully find some info

Do you have the i747m or i747? If you have the i747m, try re-flashing a completely stock ROM from sammobile.com.

I have the i747M. A completely stock rom? As in a Samsung stock rom? Would I go about doing it the same way as any other rom? Because my recoveries aren't working so I'm not able to do a Nandroid back up. As such I'd rather not do anything until I am able to do a Nandroid back up.

You're installing the latest recoveries for the d2lte, right?

You, sir, are a God send. Thank you. But I must ask, even within the i747m there are different versions? Why?
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Free mobile app

All s3 phones sold in Canada are identical hardware-wise. It's only the carrier customizations that make them appear to be different.
You can flash a stock Rogers 4.4.2 over a stock Telus 4.4.2 with no problems. In fact, I have done it myself.
Prior to unified ROM and recovery builds for the s3, the AT&T s3 was referred to as the d2att while the Bell/Rogers/Telus s3 was referred to as the d2can. With unified builds, they are collectively referred to as d2lte. The only two things that are not interchangeable between the i747 and i747m are the modems and bootloaders.

Installing GS3 Rogers...but not really
Hello,
I tried to use the CM installer app/windows install which appeared to work but upon a first reboot a couple of questions pop up asking about if I want root and that the ROM might request a stock recovery. I answered these questions 7 ways to Sunday but it will not boot to CM. I can get in to the recovery screen but that is about it.
Something wrong?
thanks,

If you are stuck at the CM boot logo, try wiping cache, dalvik, and data in recovery?

Hi
I'm not stuck at the CM logo, in fact it just boots in to the stock Rogers environment. I can get in to the recovery menu but all I have is
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I wiped the cache...no improvement.

I recommend you not use the CM install app as it can be hit and miss for some phones.
Before flashing anything, I recommend you verify the bootloader on your phone and post the version here.

Recovery issues

I have used cwm, twrp, and philz touch. The only one that works on my at&t s3 is philz. Recently it has not been able to do a factory reset.
It will wipe cache and dara but it stops at formatting.android.secure. it doesn't do a full wipe at all and I let it try for over an hour. (I'm on cyanideL). Does anyone know where there are good links for some recoveries? I can still flash and I also have mobile Odin pro. Thanks.

factory reset from settings ? but have backups somewhere cause it will wipe your phone.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

That's what I want to do is wipe it 100%. Philztouch 6.0.4.x hangs. It will do a data wipe, cache. But I need a 100% clean wipe.

so ........ can you do it from settings ?
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

Which bootloader is on your phone?
I believe the latest version of CWM is 6.0.4.7 and the latest release for Philz is 6.48.4.

That's me^^ forgot my info. NJ1.

Was the phone encrypted?

No. Everything works fine. It just won't totally wipe. I don't really need it to do so but I don't like when my recovery does anything it shouldn't as this type of problem can cause unforseen consequences later down the line. I'm running cyanideL 5.0.1. Twrp doesn't mount anything (it reads no cards and insists I have no system installed (I'm using it to post) ... I just saw the above.. Can I get a link to philz 6.48.4?

You can flash the zip version from TWRP or the tar.md5 version using Odin.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

That's actually what I have. All of the recoveries give me a hard time on this phone. Ah well, I appreciate the help. And that's a good link, thanks.

What about using a different ROM?

I can use lollipop ROMs. Cannot go back to 4 because it doesn't wipe android secure. That's the thing, it doesn't fully wipe. Not a huge problem because cyanide l is kickass, I just feel funny without a 100% functional recovery. Philz used to be the only one that worked but now I have this issue.

Got it figured a while back ago. The recovery in these comments was the right one. I didn't look closely enough. Flashed with mobile Odin pro. All is well. All works 100%. PS official D2att from cyanogen website. 12.1. In case anyone was interested. Everything is 100% except Bluetooth. But there is an update I haven't used yet. So we shall see

I'm using RoryB's Philz version (later) . No problems ever - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20226 . Search for RoryB
It's 6.58 or 6051 (I don't remember the numbers), but it is a later version than 6.48.4

Edit: got it. 6.58.9
Thanks again bud!
