I am trying to flash a CM 4.2.2 ROM, and have updated TWRP to 2.7.1.0. The problem is when I try to flash any ROM from recovery mode I get the message "could not create file for updater extract in /temp/updater", and the operation fails.
Any ideas??

stock recovery gives me error "E:signature verification failed"
In stock recovery, I can see my sdcard and select which zip file i want to install.. but when i do, i get the signature verification error.
CW recovery cannot see my sdcard (tried 3 different cards so far) and gives me error: files not found. Mounting SDcard does not do anything.
reformatted the 3 SDcards many times. , wiped the phone cache and tried disabling signature verification in CW recovery.
Phone is bricked now and has no ROM installed. Access to download and recovery mode are my 2 options only.

You're getting the signature error.because you are trying to flash an unofficial zip. With stock recovery the zip has to have a signature for it to flash.(this is why we need custom recovery)
What version of cwm are you flashing? If its the one that doesn't support the external SD card you have to put whatever zip you want to flash on the internal SD card, not the external. I think newer versions of cwm released have support for the external card. If you can get into download mode I would suggest flashing the stock rom and kernel through odin

Had this happen to my brother's phone last night where sd cards won't read and he couldn't flash a ROM. Your phone is not bricked if you can get into CWM or Odin mode. Take a look at this thread:

Use Odin to flash to the stock eg30.tar and start from scratch. I'm new so I hope I didn't lead you into the wrong path or tell you something you already knew. Good luck!

Can you give a bit more explanation?
Which kernel do you have installed right now? Which ROM do you have installed?
Here is how i fixed this:
1- File (SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3 (SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar) allowed me back into SDCard since it has CWM5. CW5 was able to do what CWM4 was not : give me access to sdcard. It also eliminated signature verification error.
2- Loaded Starburst ROM.
One common misconceptions here.
Very few people here understand the difference between firmware, kernel and ROM. You search for stock ROM and you will get stock kernel, stock firmware but NEVER stock ROM.
Also, ODIN DOES NOT allow ROM flashing. Odin does not recognize zip format. All ROMs are in zip format.

Hi,
I formatted the system files, and i wanted to install zip file of 4.2 that i found. I used the ClockWorkMode to install it but it check for system files and aborted after not found them. I tried fastboot but I won't be able to get it communicate my phone.
Can I use Odin to flash any version ?

You need to have separate Fastboot drivers installed (on a Windows PC)
Trying to install gapps to my euphoria 5.1 rom but it gives me a couple of errors:

Hi!
I'm having a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110. I have installed a new rom using TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery but now I can't change Rom because when i try to flash .zip files i get the following error:
E: Unable to mount '/preload'
But once flashed the new rom the tablet doesn't boot (I can see the Bootanimation but no more! And I have Wiped all data)
What is working:
Download mode accessible
Recovery accessible
I can flash files
What I noticed:
I can flash zip roms but I always get the mount preload error, I tryed to mount preload partition in my recovery settings but it doesn't mount!
Originally I have had this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32115/N5110XXDNF1_N5110ITVDNF1_ITV/
Ok, I tried to download the stock rom from Sammobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57737/N5110XXDNK1_N5110UVSDNK1_TPA/) but when i try to flash that with Odin I get the Failed! message.
I tryed to change recovery and to flash a new rom (Gnabo rom) but it doesn't finish booting.
I think that this is a partition problem and that I need a PIT file to restore them, i found this thread about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333191. I tryed to flash the file but i get Failed!
Now, I'm trying to download a new stock rom, I found this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56156/N5110UEU2COI3_N5110XAR2COI3_XAR/ I hope it will work!
Please can someone help me?:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've had such problem when tried to change partitions using this manual.
After I flashed modded PIT file I see that my partitions changed, but I couldn't restore backup or flash any ROM withour errors. Though TWRP 2.8.7.0 said "successful" I seen a lot of errors in log "E: Unable to mount '/preload' ". So when I try to boot my I777 I have bootloop on ROM logo, either SlimLP, CyanogenMod or CyanideL. I tried to repair\resize partition in TWRP with no luck. Odin and stock firmware is no help - it always fails because of partition. So I found original PIT file pulled out from stock ROM, flashed that PIT using Odin and now I can either flash stock firmware thru Odin or flash some kernel with custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. So my guess is to find such PIT file that will fix your issue.
Hope this help.
UPD: I was be able to install SlimSaber(KK 4.4.4), so I suppose if you getting "E: Unable to mount '/preload' " you can either flash original PIT or you can find ROM that don't use /preload partition.

Hey guys,
I was unlocking the Bootloader successfully and flashing TWRP as well.
STOCK ROM worked well so far.
Then I Wiped System, Vendor, Cache, and Data to flash AICP Rom. This worked as well. Flash was successful in twrp.
But if I reboot into system the devices goes into TWRP - always.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? How can I fix that?
best, dj
Ayo!
Fastboot flash recovery another_twrp/orangefox.img
Then fastboot boot recovery.img
Wipe everythingg and format data.
Try flashing another room, and boot!
And profit
Okay thanks, that worked now, AICP and OpenGApps are installed.
Now I get an error with my Magisk.zip file:
"Invalid zip file format"
"Error installing zip file "/sdcard1/Magisk-24.0.zip""
Is this the right link to download Magisk? Or where ca I get it from?

The zip you downloaded is the source code not the Magisk v24.0 build. Select Magisk-v24.0 apk file instead.
BTW, flashing Magisk through recovery is not recommended. It is suggested to install Magisk using Patch Boot.img method.
