Hi guys, need some help here.
Trying to get the CM 7.2 installed on my Verizon R800x. I updated the firmware to .89 (had to relock by bootloader to do so). I then tried to do the fastboot flash boot boot.img and got the kernel to load, but now when I try to install the update.zip from the CWM download I get the following. I unlocked my bootloader again (using the original method from ashergray like fastboot -i oem unlock 0xfce... etc) and tried again. Same result. Any ideas?
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa-r2

Just waiting for my Market to start downloading things so I can edit the file
I get the following error when I try to flash CM and I read around people saying to "flash stock" but I downloaded LT15a arc_v2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic America.ftf and it won't flash via the flash tool (dragged and dropped into the window and it just fails to install)
Does anyone have any suggestions on which stock rom I need or a way around this?

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that before posting and it just gets stuck at the sony logo on boot.
-Flash via sony update service
-Flash kernel 562
-Doomlord root
-flash 587 kernel
-install CWM via flashtool
-modify the buildprop
-copy to SD
-Reboot recovery
-Installs & fails to reboot properly

That's because you haven't flashed the FXP kernel.

Ok, so I downloaded the kernel and when I read the guide it says put the phone is fastboot mode but I have no idea how to do that and when I try to reboot into fastboot via flashtool it just reboots the phone normally (cmd adb reboot fastboot = reboots the phone normally) . When I use the command fastboot flash boot <kernel>.img it just says waiting for phone.
Anything else I read just tells me to unlock the bootloader (which I did via zerg rush)
I really appreciate the help but this phone is a co-workers and I am trying to install a custom rom for them and I hope to get it done ASAP so they can get it back. I never had this much issue with my Gal S & S3...
To use fastboot you must first unlock your bootloader.this cannot be done via Zergrush,only rooting your phone can be done with Zergrush,now,put the 4.0.2.a.0.42 file(unzipped)into the 'firmwares' folder that came with flashtool then press the lighting icon to flash your phone,when done,use Zergrush to root it and install x-parts from the market which helps you can install CWM which you need to install a custom ROM.

i've applied the firmwares in this thread so that my unlocked phone works on tmobile. my bootloader reads as:
Code:
C:\Users\IncogNegro\android developer toolkit\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell getprop ro.bootloader
T999UCALJ2
i keep trying to install stable roms from here using this guide. i have successfully upgraded the bootloader by following all the steps under the section titled "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S III (AT&T)". as a result, my recovery is CWM v6.0.3.1.
i've even gone as far as editing the updater script by removing all the assert tags. when i try to install, the installation fails without ANY ERROR MESSAGES.
what is the big deal!?
I'm having the same problem as well, My phone is rooted im stuck on stock 4.3 and really want to try the new custom roms out there.

i am stuck in the same situation. i want to flash beanstalk sooo bad but it keeps failing. you can flash slimbean though. that's the only rom that i found that is flashable.
Hey guys today an update to cm10.2.1(stable) came out. I have the htc one x. So my problem is that whenever i try to flash it it gives me status 7 error. I managed to ger around it by editing the updater-script file. I've deleted the following line: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "endeavoru" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "endeavoru");
assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.28.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.31.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.33.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.36.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.39.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.72.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.73.0000"); now im actually able to install it but my phone goes into a loop. It turns on and is stuck at the htc logo. Ive already tried clearing cache and dalvik cache and it didnt help. Any sugestions?
btw i get the status 7 error
Did you use recovery that is written to use?
Use TWRP 2.6 or Official Touch CWM 5.8.4.0
Sent from my One X
Same issue but on different devices, S3, S4 and S4 mini, save error messages on all, I think there's a problem with the package, btw I have different recoveries on all 3 devices, all fail
Use an older version of philz recovery like 5.15

Hello - I have just downloaded TWRP Manager and am preparing to install the custom recovery on a Canadian Wind Galaxy S3 (model number SGH-T999V). I would appreciate it if someone could confirm which file I should use for this purpose. Is it the d2can file?
Thanks,
Mvt926
You can use d2can, d2tmo or d2lte.
I recommend d2tmo if you plan on flashing any if the roms we have. Ensures better chances of successful flashing.

I've just completed my first system backup under TWRP and,owing to space limitations, excluded the data option. How useful is the backup with this exclusion? If I need to re do the backup with data included, is there a way to delete the first backup before completing the second?
Thanks,
Mvt926
Data includes your apps/data and settings. It should be under the TWRP folder on your sd card.

Thanks - as I have already run a titanium backup on all apps and data, would it be safe to assume that I can exclude the data option under TWRP backup?
Another thing I have found is that choosing the restore option under TWRP (to see whether the backup I have made is available for restore) causes an immediate crash (of TWRP).
Thanks,
Mvt926
That is up to you. Backing up system and boot partitions is basically just backing up the rom, just so you know. I make a clean nandroid before doing anything, and keep it on my computer. Then I generally just backup the data partition and keep the rom handy. At least I used to. I don't do it much anymore because I use titanium and it kinda seemed a little redundant to me. I still keep an initial backup on my computer though....just in case.
Everyone is different. Its boils down to what you are most comfortable having as your backup.

Thanks. I have realized that TWRP permits backups to the external SD card so will use that for a full backup, including data, and then make a duplicate on my computer for additional security.

I need some help please
This might not be the best place to post this but I am stuck.
I have been forced to update after my GS3 took a dump. The power control chip went bad. I have now taken over my wife's old GS3. I had not rooted and installed a custom rom in so long it took me a while to figure it out. I have rooted it. I have superuser. I installed CWM. However, I cannot get CM 10.2.1 to install. I have 4.3.1 on my device and wanted to stick with that os. I did not want to go to kit kat. I try to install through cwm and keep getting installation aborted. I uninstalled KNOX as I thought that might be the issue but I am guessing from reading this that it is a bootloader issue. I don't know how to fix/change any of that and very much need someones help. I am on a TMO SGH T999 build number JSS15J.T999UVUENC2. Kernel 3.0.31. I would very much like someone to help me figure out how to get CM 10.2.1 to install on my device. Please if you or if you know someone who can help me.
Thanks,
TIDE

Flash the rom again and when it fails go back and copy log to sd. The info you'll want will be towards the bottom. Let us know what it says is the reason for failure.

Please excuse my ignorance, how do I create the log to copy. Is that done with a specific app?

I think this is what you wanted. I know I am flashing the correct version for my phone sgh t999 which from what I understand a status 7 error could mean that I was not. I was thinking it had something to do with the boot loader and knox on this version 4.3.1.

Yup. Thsts what I thought we'd see. Open the rom and find the updater script. Using Notepad++, edit it by replacing any of those builds with T999UVUENC2. If the one you choose to replace is listed more than once, replace it in all instances.
Delete the 3 signature files in the meta-inf folder, rezip and flash.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I have never modified a script. I figured out how to pull out just the updater script file but I want to make sure I modify it correctly. Here is what the top bunch of lines look like in my script. If I understand correctly I am just going to replace any one of the "T999….." with "T999UVUENC2" It should make no difference which one? Also What are the signature files? I have three files in the META-INF folder, CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF. I presume you are talking about those three files? Please confirm that I am correct. If I need to modify anything else in the script below please let me know.
Thank you once again.

You are correct on both. To make it even easier, replace the build ending in MJC. All you'd have to do is change MJC to NC2.
And don't worry too much about any of this. If you happen to do something wrong it would most likely fail w/o flashing anything.

I got through that and now I get a status 4 error. I know I have more than enough internal memory. I did store the CM file on the internal memory to flash it. Would that have anything to do with it? Do I have to install it from an external sd?
Here is the log file. I think also for some reason my changes are not getting saved to the name when I change EMJC to ENC2 based upon what I'm seeing below. The signature files also don't seem to delete and when I remove the .txt at the end of the file name to save it back to the zip file I also think it stays there regardless.

Can you get the log and paste the error here again? Not familiar with status 4 right off hand.
It shouldn't matter if its on internal or external sd. But you can try flashing from external.

I did , see above message. I am definitely not doing something right. I am on a Mac and using text editor to modify the file. That was my second try, the first time I did get a status 4 and I remodified and tried again and now I got a status 7 again.
It looks like the edit you made didnt take. Did you unzip the rom, make the edit and then rezip into a new file?
I don't know what text editor you should use on a mac. Go to Notepad++ website to see if they support it. If not you will have to find an editor that preserves the EOL formatting (End of Line) as Unix style. Not sure if a mac is able to do that with a built in editor.
You could make the edits on device I suppose, but its just a little more time consuming and easier to make mistakes.

I found a way to edit the file and I know it is taking the edit. I have tried again and it still fails. However, when I view the log and it says saved in the CWM folder and I go to retrieve it, it is not there. There is no saved log that I can upload. Any thoughts?
Can I install kitkat on the SGH T999, it is the older model, not the LTE. And have you tried CM for KitKat? How is it, reasonably stable? Would that resolve my issues?
