what is your firmware sir?? maybe its about your firmware that the rom is compatible with so that it wont stuck on samsung logo or bootloop if you have that firmware like DXKL2 and DXLC1

Here you go CWM by madteam:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n3x18su3495fr8l
Also do remember to data wipe and cache wipe from both stock and CWM recoveries before installing any rom..If the ROM still doesnt flash ..use the stock rom package from dokys thread in android development and re-flash..that must fix the issue..

Before installing make backup wipe dalvik cache , cache, do factory reset and try again .. hope it helps
Sent from my Hero using xda premium

Actually I tell the whole story now. When I was making backup of my stock ROM the sd card showed low on space. So I removed that SD card and inserted the one which came with the Phone. On that I installed all the required zip files. Then I made backup of the stock ROM and the data. After that I followed these steps mentioned here -:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863260
According to the steps I did not did wipe davik cache etc. after instaling the ROM I did wipe factory and data reset and wipe cache partition. After following all the steps mentioned I rebooted my phone as mentioned. But after rebooting the phone is stuck on android logo. I then again went into recovery and tried to wipe dalvik cache the confirmation page that appears before wiping anything is not coming. Also when I tried to restore my phone to the stock ROM an error message is coming. So I am not able to restore to the stock ROM. This is the whole thing. So guys please help. I hope I have not bricked my phone. Any solutions?
Thanks

What version it is??
If you are install custom rom from stock rom,its better to use px-cwmV2..
If test it,and it minimize the risk of stuck on android logo..
After that you can change the recovery to other version that you want..

I think the version is 5.0.2.7. Also when I am switching off the phone after sometime it is automatically switching on by itself. So for the time being I have removed the battery.

If you use that version,use the version that can support rfs+ext4 file system..
Stock rom use rfs file system and custom rom usually use ext4 file system,so therefore you have to use recovery that support both..

I suggest that you flash your phone to stock rom again via odin..
Then change your recovery,i was preffered px-cwmV2,but i dont know is the link still alive or not..
Flash the recovery,reboot..
Then enter recovery mode again,install rom..

If you have working recovery it's no use to flash stock ROM, just flash px-cwmV2 http://www.mediafire.com/file/y1xy6g2y5tpp1fg/px-cwm-v2.zip.
Then wipe all, including dalvik, flash desired ROM, wipe all again (including dalvik), and you should be good to go.

I have. As i said, you could just try CWM v2.
BUT to be absolutely safe flash a stock ROM using Odin, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20397915&postcount=3.
After u flash the stock ROM, go to default recovery, factory reset, boot the rom, shutdown.
Flash the desired version of CWM using Odin or trough recovery, and then flash the custom ROM u want.
For me CWM 5.0.2.7 ext4+ RFS couldn't wipe dalvik, nor could it mount /system. So I used cwmV2.
Good luck!

when you flash firmware with odin, it will also flash a new recovery.
just enter recovery like normally, and flash cwm-v2.zip
after its done you pull the battery out, and boot into recovery again.
now you have clockworkmod installed

I am not installing firmware right now. I am just wanting to install CWM v2 and try whether it is able to install MIUI successfully or not. If this one also fails then I will install the firmwares via odin. Hope you ate able to understand what I am saying. Please help.

[Q] Installation aborted (BAD)

Can anyone help.....
I have tried to flash a few custom roms but everytime I go to install it says installation aborted (BAD). I have downloaded the same rom a couple of times in case it was a bad download, but still get the same result. I flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin before trying to install custom roms, could this be the problem?. I am using philz recovery.
Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?.
Thanks in advance

go with a clean wipe,system included and flash the rom. make sure u verify the md5 of the rom downloaded and use latest philz version and make a backup of rom just to be safe before flashing anything, the latest philz support 4.3 flashing

I think You will have to revert to stock for that and then root and install cwm. Here is the link to stock ftf, Select which ever suitable. I don't know which root works on Your device, so do check the thread for it. Then install the cwm.

Well, You can try this app. It is an app to manage ROM and CWM, and hopefully will install CWM on Your phone.

Same happened with me, too. Try flashing philz recovery, that works well in flashing roms. And if you wanna stick to twrp, then from recovery menu, first wipe everything and then again reboot to recovery. Then flash the desired rom. It should work. :good:
And yea, this is a minor problem. You don't need to flash fastboot rom. Just do as i said or switch to philz revovery.
