Are you on the latest version of CWM? If not update to latest versions of CWM.
what would be the latest for s3 4.3 I tried CWM_6.0.4.7 but it didn't work it stays in a black screen
ok I used a couple of them even the one im running now its cwm 6.4.7 same error it doent take anyroms at all none. its rooted so I have no clue what else to try any ideas?
Being rooted won't make a difference. Download and flash latest cwm or twrp if it still doesn't work. Check their site for the most up to date recovery version
on the cwm website the version is 6.0.4.5 and I have CWM_6.0.4.7 so its not the recovery its gotta be be something else

Try different methods to download the rom. Could be bad downloads. If it still doesn't work, use twrp

Ok. So I have twrp recovery installed via goomanager. Is this compatible with cm 10 stable? Also I need the d2att version right? I'm really scared about bricking so could someone just fill me in with some details.
I have decided to unroot because I just don't get it. Ill reroot with the method I know how to use.
Yes on both counts.
Goomanager will install a d2can recovery image on your device; you'll need to install the d2att image manually to get it to flash d2att ROMs.
Also remember to clear data/cache before trying to start the new ROM, or before you flash it.

One more thing, I have my phone rooted with a no tripping counter way that I did through odin, I'm sure you have heard of it. Can I just reflash the rooted rom that i originally rooted this with and have that custom recovery uninstalled? Or should I flash an unrooted version from the samsung website? Just so I know how to get rid of this recovery.

Yes.
So I rooted my phone and installed the latest CWM recovery but every time I try to install any custom rom I get a status 7 error and it says something along the line of asserts failed ro.product.drvice == d2att. I've tried using TWRP, I've unrooted and installed stock, nothing seems to work. Last week I was running Jellybam fine for about 2 days, got stuck in bootloop, tried numerous ways to fix it, ended up returning to stock but now I cannot flash anything. Help me please
The status 7 error happens when the ROM ur about to flash, checks to see if the model of ur phone is compatible with said ROM. Its a good thing(safety mechanism) but can be a pain at the same time. What version of cwm are u using? Download the latest cwm recovery thru the ROM manager app and that can sometimes fix the issue. What ROM are you trying to install?

I think 6.0.2.3? not 100% sure though.. and I need to be rooted in order for rom manager to work... I tried using it but it kept saying the flash failed.. I'm using the root recovery. I've tried flashing CM 10.1 and RC5 as well as the latest and 3 before that Jellybam Roms

Latest cwm is at 6.0.3.1
I think you're getting a little confused.
You need to be rooted to have any custom recovery installed, so right off the bat you are rooted. You shouldn't flash anything with rom manager, it can cause serious harm to your phone. Tom manager is best for just updating your recovery.
There are two main reasons for a status7 error, out of date recovery or an out of date bootloader.
Update your recovery to 6.0.3.1 and he to flash it again, if it comes back you'll need to update your bootloader a two second search in these threads will provide you with a large handful of threads where people had identical issues as you

Checked my bootloader and it says i747UCDLK3 and I think that's the latest... I'll root and install latest CWM through rom manager once I get home
And one question though... I tried using TWRP 2.5 (the latest) and I still got the status 7 error...?

Can you flash any stock modded rom's ? You state you went back to stock but what method did you use to go back to stock ?
Why oh why were you using jellybam...
My cousin has it on his Verizon GS3 and it works perfectly fine so I thought I'd give it a shot. To go back to stock I followed some unroot and return to stock I found online.. not sure of the link. It basically consisted of flashing it in Odin and returned it back to stock 4.0.4 which I then updated to 4.1.1 using att ota. I'm not sure if it was a a modded stock rom or not. And I really don't feel like going back through that mess again only to flash it and get stuck in another boot loop I want to be pretty positive that it will work :/

The ODIN flash to stock 4.0.4 probably installed the old ics bootloaders, and the ota update to 4.1.1 may not have included the new jb bootloaders.
Ok so what is the newest bootloader? I downloaded the root checker that allows you to see your bootloader version and it's on i747UCDLK3.

So what should I do now then :s
You're trying to flash the wrong rom for your device, or you're not using the right recovery for your device. What Galaxy S3 model do you have? On which carrier are you and where did you buy the phone?
I have an AT&T i747 that I got at an AT&T store. The Rom is correct as I've downloaded it numerous times and I've tried the latest TWRP recovery and still received the error.
I'm going to try and flash a factory image tomorrow from the development section and root afterwards. As Michael3214 pointed out in a pm, the issue may be that my phones id has changed, hopefully a factory image will fix that.
Hello
I am currently running the latest version of TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-d2att) and I am trying to flash CM 11, but I get an error in red "Failed"
I am even getting a failed error as well when flashing the bootloader in the thread below.
I have successfully been able to flash SlimKat 4.4.4 and Dirty Unicorn with no problems. I think I had the same problems as well when trying to flash Paranoid Android.
I have tried flashing the files from both the external SD card and Internal. No go.
This is the thread I am following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682905
Here is the error I get when flashing:
You cannot flash from your current bootloader. Current version: I747MVLUEFNE6
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Flash/CM/1/boot_CWM_I747MVLUEMK5.zip'
Try using the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte to flash files.
You can flash the most recent zip from TWRP.

Do not flash any bootloader to your phone. It is good that it did not flash mk5 over ne6. This will brick for phone.

Ok thanks. Where can I find the latest boot-loader for my device? I was trying to follow this guide to flash CM11 and it told me to download the latest boot-loader and update it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682905
I guess the thread I wrote above is an outdated guide to flashing CM11. Would you happen to know the steps I should take to flash cm11 for my device with my current bootloader?
BTW I still can't flash the CM11 Rom in Philz Touch Recovery.
Iv never had any issues using philz touch to flash.

You have the ne6 bootloader. Do you have an i747m or i747? It will make a difference when it comes to flashing an updated bootloader and modem.
Are you downloading the latest CM11 from the cyanogen site?

Thanks for helping out so far. My Model number that shows up in "About Device" in my phone's settings say SGH-I747M. Yes I am downloading the latest CM11 Nightly build here : http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
P.S.
Will I bay able to go back to stock if I don't like CM11? I heard that it will brick my phone from rolling back the boot loaders. What if I restore from a nandroid backup, will that work to restore to stock without bricking my device?
With a custom recovery, you can create a backup, flash your ROM, and you can restore the backup if you don't like cm11.

Ok thats good. Though I still have the problem of flashing CM11. It still fails on me on TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
What error are you getting? What cm11 ROM are you flashing?

Never mind, found out that I had to run the factory reset in PhilZ Touch first then flash the rom. Alls good, but didn't like CM11.
Though why didn't it work on TWRP?
I had issues with TWRP flashing ROMs too. Once I switched to Philz which is based on CWM, I had no issues flashing the same ROMs that TWRP would not flash.
Hi, I'm having issues flashing roms which aren't based off of 4.1.2 firmware. I am rooted on 4.1.2 JB and have flashed a few of the 4.1.2 roms on my tmobile s3 t999, when I attempt anything else it fails with "error 7" for example cm10 and 11 or 4.3/4.4. Please Help? Thanks.
1. Make sure you're on latest version of recovery.
2. You may need to ODIN to a newer version/bootloader.

I tried flashing over the bootloader update found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282603
and am receiving a "status 7" error once again. I restored a backup which contained no mods, downloaded rootkeeper and booted into cwm tried flashing the updated zip, it returned a status 7 error. I'm not sure how to proceed. I am currently using 4.1.2 axis with trinity kernel. I cant seem to flash anything whatsoever aside from roms based off 4.1.2. Can someone help me step-by-step?
thanks
