Buddy rooted his phone via
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zPrnbJasFs&feature=plcp
He asked me to help him install CM10 rom..
No problem I thought
Had him install Touch recovery via goo-manager, rebooted into recovery and wiped data/cache blah blah, install .zip file and gets an error
every CM10 based rom gives some sort of error
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" e:Error in /emmc/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip (status 7)
WTF?!??!
Anyone have any ideas ?? THANKS GUYS!

Yes. Instructions can be found with a quick search.
Download mode -> ODIN to stock -> Put ClockworkMod recovery on SD -> Install CWM using stock recovery -> Happy flashing!

No. You don't use ODIN to flash cm10. Error 7 happens because of outdated recovery. Download ROM manager from the play store, install cwm through it and after its installed ...boot into recovery and flash cm10.

Ok, did it, and got the green pass light on odin and had him go back into recovery and ONCE AGAIN, back into the STOCK recovery.
I'm losing my mind with frustration!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Also, why doesn't this work?

He rooted it I wasn't there when he did it.
It sure seems rooted it.. Super user is there and I already flashed a rom
But again, every CM10 based rom gives some sort of failure
and his recovery goes back and forth on its own from CWM to stock, its very strange
What recovery version does he have?

The one from goo-manager
Whatever goomanger puts on there.
The problem is, if he loads goo manager, tells it to download the recovery and reboots into recovery the recovery will there.
If he reboots a few times and then goes and reboots into recovery it will revert back into the stock recovery.
WTF!! lol
All you need to do is to install ROM manager from the play store and from it you can install the latest cwm recovery easily.

Yes, we installed Rom manager and when he clicks "flash clockworkmod recovery" he gets an error
I gotta wait till he gets home so he can tell me what the error is again
thanks
Ok I forgot, he doesn't get an error message when he goes to install the clockwork recovery via rom manager, he gets a message that he has to choose a phone and in that list there is no GSIII
which model should he choose ? THANKS
Yea so ok, something is seriously screwed here,
I had him flash the CWM recovery the third on this list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28612095&postcount=558
Had him reboot into recovery and flash that zip, it was successful, I had him reboot into recovery from the touch recovery that we installed from goo-manager and he was indeed in the CWM recovery
Had him reboot the system, then again reboot into recovery from rom manager and sure enough it reboots into the stock android recovery.
Something is seriously wrong here.
I am totally at a loss
It has something to do with the flash counter. Since I'm not sure about it I would have him re root his phone using the toolkit and flash a recovery with the toolkit and see what happens.

Are you trying to root a kies/ota update? Canadian carriers put in an install script that removes custom recovery at every reboot.
Look for install.sh in the root of the phone's file system.

Can i flash rom or kernel without pc,just downloud the file from the xda forum on the phone and flash it?
where does the file goes when i downloud it from my phone and not from my pc?

Mobile ODIN will allow you to do this.
As for where the file goes, the default download location from the browser is /sdcard/download.
If you're using the XDA app, the default is /sdcard/xda_download.
Can i flash from recovery and not with ODIN without using my pc?

Assuming your phone is rooted, you don't need a pc to flash a ..zip rom or .tar.md5 files. Mobile Odin will do the .tar.md2 and Goomanager will install a TWRP recovery and flash .zip files.

If you have a custom recovery flashed (I use CWM, witch you can get by downloading the ClockWorkMod app from the play store.), then all you have to do is boot into recovery (While powered off, hold volume up + home + power button untill the Samsung logo appears then immediately release all.), and install .zip from sd card. The files you download are most likely in your "download" folder on your sdcard. Make sure when you boot into recovery, to do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe divalk cache (advanced menu) before flashing. This ensures a clean flash. Happy flashing!
Hello,
I was trying to flash a kernel but after some reboots I noticed that the phone won't boot in cwm but only in the stock recovery. I reflashed cwm through rom manager but nothing happened. I then tried to install twrp but again nothing happened. I was told that I have to delete 2 files inside system to make cwm stick but the files do not exist for a reason. Please help me guys!

no. root access is intact. just use mobile odin to flash cwm recovery. Or try a custom kernel with cwm recovery
Is it possible to flash twrp or cwm without odin? I know you can download Rom manager and use it to flash cwm but it wouldn't boot into recovery afterwards just went into a boot loop

I guess I'll go with no which I assumed would be the answer

You can flash TWRP without ODIN if your phone is rooted.
Go to the playstore and download "goomanager" a free app
and click the menu softkey on left side of phone then select
"flash open recovery script".
Then wait til it gets done and when it's done just reboot the phone.
That's the easiest way to do it and TWRP is way better than cwm.
Good luck!
Awesome thank you so much you da best
