This is my first attempt at installing a custom Rom so a little nervous!
I followed the instruction exactly as per the thread.
Installed the zip from the Red CWM and after 30 min. my phone is stuck on installing update.... and progress bar is showing 0 percent complete!
What should I do now?
Just noticed that there was an error when I wiped Dalvik cache it says: E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1p2
Could this be causing the problem?
Did u really make a whole thread on this??? i have a Q&A section for this rom

this question should definitely go in the General section or in the Clockwork Recovery thread, just so you know
if you are in stock recovery, you can get into Clockwork by choosing 'reinstall packages', provided that you have followed the instructions in the CWM thread and: 1) replaced the recovery in system/bin with the modified recovery binary from the thread, and 2) placed the update.zip from the thread on the root of your sdcard.
or u can follow sduvick mod on krylon thread
nice! I didn't know he made a script for flashing CWM.
Can someone tell me why every time I try to flash a new rom on my daughters sk4g in recovery it goes straight to the screen with reinstall packages so I pick it and it errors out and can't go further???

What rom are you flashing, and how are you flashing it?

You probably need to visit the Recovery CWM thread and either manually replace the recovery in system/bin with the modified one and put the update.zip(clockworkmod) on the root of you sdcard... Or use sduvick's script in the thread to do those 2 things for you. Then when you reinstall packages it will take you to Clockwork Recovery.
I cant get passed the WipeData/factoryreset.
replaced recovery in System/Bin
Update.zip in root of SD.
this is what i get
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
then thats where it freezes then i gotta restore using ODIN.
any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm, that's weird. and you are getting into orange CWM by doing 'reinstall packages' in the blue stock recovery? if so, I'm not sure why that would be happening...

Try to odin back to kd1 or kg2, Then use the recovery from krylons thread. This part is important, do not use rom manager to update your recovery, the version on rm is either corrupt or unstable. This happened to me a couple of time when I first tried it too. The problem was rom managers recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
Should I completely delete CWM on my SD card then, and then repeat the process on krylons thread?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App
Yes, do exactly that, delete all cwm files you have on your computer and sdcard, and start all over, using krylons thread.
Ok Just need to confirm this
When I rebooot to recovery. I get the original. screen with two errors. However when I click reinstall packages. It shoots me to CWM. IT does that every time.
Am I safe to Flash? Or did I mess up some where

I am having the same problem with clockworks recovery mod but if I go to recovery from rom maniger app I got from the market it gose right into the clockworks recvery if I use any other app for rcovery it go into stock recovery and thin I have to reinstall pacage and thin it works but that's what I know about it and I fallowed the thread to the letter
if you installed rom manager, then you didnt follow the thread. go to settings/applications/manage applications and under 3rd party, select rom manager. when that comes up, select clear data and uninstall. do NOT reinstall rom manager. next, go to the root of your sd card and look for a folder named clockworkmod. if you find it, delete it. next, go back to the cwm thread and in the first post, look for a link to a file called update.zip. download it and place it on the root of your sd card. to get into cwm, boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm. there is no other way to boot into clockworkmod recovery unless you flash a rom that comes with it. the version of clockworkmod that flashes through rom manager does not work right. also, once you have booted into cwm recovery after installing it the proper way, scroll down through your recovery menu and select advanced. then select fix permissions. it will say "fixing permissions...." and will sit for a minute or two. let it sit till it says "done!" then hit the back button and select reboot system now. running fix permissions should stop your random reboots. it did for me. it wont solve the screen lag, but you shouldnt have any more random reboots.
ok i did that. now the cwm do you have to reinstall it evry time you go to recovery or will it stay and the rom manager i got it after i flashed cwm becous it sead it had cwm built in
you have to reinstall packages every time. rom manager isnt gonna do crap for you on this phone. you can flash roms through clockworkmod just fine as long as you do it right, but if you try to start flashing a rom through rom manager, its gonna brick your phone. you can recover from a brick in several ways, but its a pain in the chops.

no problem
download a custom ROM (I'd suggest a sense 3 one look at index thread on development for your options) to your sd card
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
flash the custom ROM
Or if you have a backup simply restore that

First boot will take a few minutes....so don't panic....be patient

CURRENTLY > wiped >cm9 >gapps>simple empty phone without any app any suggestions on this please
i got gapps from Google link which gave cm 1 job gapps were they fine?
That's how everybody should explain what went wrong, nice job about that!
Gapps are working fine from where you got them, I don't get you how exaclty do you wipe things, try with mounting everything.
Try flashing superwipe by akya from the nextgen thread and then flashing!
Hope it helps...

ok
1)why did it give crashes
2)why did back up gave me bootloop
3)i do factory /wipe then dalvik i have to wipe cache partition too?
4)do i have a currupt recovery or nand or **** my phone is just a month old
6)what and why to mount and when to mount plz
1. Crashes occur due to numerous reasons. If you ask for relevant ones, then most propably, either the compiled code is buggy or the dalvik-vm (heap memory in runtime) is getting full.
2. What did backup did you restore ? Stock rom backup or custom rom backup ?
3. Yes, wiping cache is important. It is mentioned in every rom flashing thread.
4. No one can say, when your hardware is gonna foul play on you. My first htc explorer's motherboard & battery were buggy. Extreme heat used to get build up. Anyway, i got free replacement.
5. During recovery, while simple flashing of rom & gaaps, you never manually mount anything. Unless, something is stated in the tutorial of whatever you are about to do.

it was cm9 back up but. I got the prob the cwm recovery didn't back up next which created probs cause I had apps in next and it wasn't wiped before back up I have flashed yannau recovery now and after super wipe installed everythi ng and am back on the track its just am little bit scared about currupting my Pico and don't want to flash anything else now
If you did everything correct, then no need to worry. Just follow the rules strictly..
1. Keep a backup
2. Wipe before flashing
3. Be sure of what you're doing
You can call them the Golden Rule.

So i got the intall from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178402
Wiped dalvik 3 times, wiped cache, formatted system and data.
Then i had to edit the updater-script to remove the first line. After i have done that the rom installed.
After rom installed i installed gapps without doing a restart.
After restart the phone is stuck on the logo show. (Pacman and 3 ghosts + samsung) The animation on the logo is goign so i gave it some time and it never boot up. Tried pulling the battery and another restart, still no go. On my second try i installed the rom without gapps thinking it might have caused the bad boot but it's suck again. Can you guys point me in the right direction? The phone doesnt give any feedback of what is going wrong.
I727, update from sky ICS(june), kernel 3.0(if i remember correctly)

Ok so i have installed newest sky ics again and the install wasnt a problem at all + everything ran fine. Then i went to update clockwork mod, downloaded the original pacman(the one with the line intact) reinstalled without gapps and still no go. I cant figure our the deal with this rob. Even tho im not a rom developer myself i have a strong programming background and i attend an IT college right now. Here's my 2 cents to the developer of PACMAN for Skyrocket.
1st thanks for all you hard work.
2nd. please make indicators during the install to see how is the progress going because right now it's like installing and then sucessfully updated. 3rd first boot should be console boot to indicate what is blockign the freakign rom. I spent my whole day trying to figure this out and noone would help + the app has absolutely no feedback for the user to trouble shoot.
Lol its not the ROM mate. Hate to tell you but its not also bootlooping on install is a common issue for some of you so my guess is you are not searching with proper terms.
Here is your bone: wipe cache and dalvik from recovery if its boot looping like that.

Switch to sk8's in the dev section or twrp never rely on ROM manager for anything on this phone. That still doesn't explain why your phone would reboot while wiping cache.

I have switched to twrp and it looks more advanced. I have tried to do a cache wipe and the twrp hang too. It seem like i cant access the cache E: patiotion. When i try to save logs from the phone i get:
Finished running boot script.
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_install
EataManager:; Output_version -- Unable to make
Copied Recovery log to /sdcard (Note the sc card wasnt even in the phone at the time of this)
Also when i tried to do a first dalvic wipe i got the same errors but after the first one i get the wipe complete message.
What are you trying to do right now? You probably had a bad download of pac man when you first started. Did you check md5 checksum? Now you don't have external SD card in? Its hard to help when not clear what you're trying to do.

1. Copy Pacman rom on external sd card.
2. Use latest Twrp and boot into recovery and select 'wipe'
3. Wipe cache, dalvik, Factory reset, system & internal storage.
4. Go back to main twrp screen and select install.
5. Find rom on and External card and install.
You should have no problems. It is a great rom.

Hi guys !
So after rooting my XT925 a few months ago, I've put the CM 10.1 ROM. A bit later, I wanted to switch to the CM 10.2, but now I just can't install any rom from CWM. There is always the same message :
Set_perm : some changes failed
E :error in (Path to Rom)
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe /cache, wipe dalvik and format /system but I'm still stuck.
I thought this could be a emmc problem so I tried the script I found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918
But obviously there no starting point of brick on this emmc.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
There's a same thread with the same Status 7 error on this forum, try this one:
