Im trying to download a rom so I can flash it to my wifes phone. I have the zipfolder on my laptop but for some reason when I put it on the SD card it doesn't show when I go into recovery. I flashed my phone by downloading the link straight to my phone. Im trying on hers but I keep getting download failed content is not supported on the phone. I even tried to download just a pic online and the download failed. Am I missing a setting on the phone or what? I downloaded astro and any file download because I read that it may fix it but it doesn't. Thanks for yalls help.

Make sure you're putting it on the internal SD. Not sure that you can access the external in recovery.
As for the download failed, try using a different browser such as dolphin browser HD. I used to run into similar problems downloading stuff with the stock browser, but never with dolphin.

Thanks for the reply. I just tried dolphin-browser and download failed due to not enough memory. The phone was factory reset just before so all the SD cards and internal storage are fresh. And when I tried from the computer I pit it in the space that pops up when I select to view the phones files. External SD is listed so I know it not going on there. I could work around that like I did on my phone if I could figure out why hers won't download anything (besides market apps, it downloads them fine) its aggravating to say the least.

OK so now I downloaded miui 1.12.23 to the phone, wide cache and data, installed from SD, rebooted, bootlooped at Samsung logo, pulled battery back to recovery, installed again, bootloops again. When I installed from SD the zip was under downloads. Is that the problem? Should I be able to get back to stock rooted from recovery, or do I have to Odin back? Thanks guys. I swear im about ready to give up on this phone!

That's the folder I flash from all the time can you still get into recovery?? If so try formatting system and reflashing its in mounts and storage

OK so I pull the battery, use three button till Samsung logo comes up and let go. Should it be blue recovery? Then format system and reflash from SD?

Couldn't get recovery back so I used Odin. Maybe her phone just won't take. Or more than likely im just retarded.
E* I did get hers to take an old version of infused and tried to flash miui over that like I did mine from cw but it stuck on Samsung, I pulled batter tried to reflash, hung on logo again but couldn't get back to recovery that time.

I'm not sure what's going on maybe a bad download of miui try redownloading it there is a newer update so.maybe try the new one

Should I have to rename the zip or just leave it as shorticut on the end of it?
E* Nm I'm a bonehead. I was sending the zip to desktop and it was making it a shortcut. I finally woke the hell up and moved it straight from the folder to the SD. Trial and error I guess. Thanks for your patience.

I have flashed this several times and every time, I do not get the 6 bar signal meter. I lose the history icons between "verizon wireless" and "ongoing" when I swipe down on the notification tab.
Thanks, for any help.
Did you flash it using Rom Manager? I had the same thing happen to me from using rom manager. I used RM to boot into recovery then applied the zip from there. And it workd perfect. Try and do it like that and see if that helps.
Did you still download through RM? Thanks.
No you download it manually through your phone or on PC and transfer it to the SD card and then flash it in recovery.
Do I rename the file or anything special?
Sent from my Rooted Thunderbolt using Tapatalk.
I also recommend flashing via recovery; it solved identical issues for me. As for the name, there's no need to rename the zip file provided that you're using recovery - it let's you navigate the sdcard file structure to locate your file. Just be sure to do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvick before flashing (and backup your phone prior to that, of course).

+1 on ROM manager. Every time I have flashed using it, it has only had partial features.

Good to know. I've heard a lot of people saying that, but have yet to see any issues myself. I suppose I should stop using it for now just to be on the safe side. Glad you got everything working.
I am guessing this applies to the NTE version also. Standard rename to P05 and flash in hboot or install via rom manager? (and what about that radio they were pushing in the thread?)
I didn't rename just booted into recovery and flashed it through there, I also was missing features when I flashed Liquid Roms but now that I know how else to get them, I will be trying out the new GBs soon
i will never use rom manager to install again after it screwed up big time the other day but im currently running remix with no problems.

I have tried to flash CM7 and i keep getting the status 7 error. i have tried to look around and find a solution but cant find a definite answer. I have completely wiped everything using full wipe and tried to flash it. I am currently running leedroid. I have tried to flash coredroid but it sticks on the boot screen. Am i doing anything wrong?
Need more info. Like are u using Rom manager to flash or what?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Are you using clockwork to flash? If so badge sure you unplug your usb cable before booting into recovery.I've seen that cause issues before.

If you are wiping everything what version of CWM are you using?
i am using Rom manager with CWM 3.0.2.5. I do no have it plugged in to anything and i have wiped everthing thing. the version of CM7 i am using is encore the stable mod
I would update CWM to newest and then try again.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I would recommend downloading the zip file for cm7. If u already have, delete it and redownload it. Place it on your SD card and make sure you eject the media from windows before physically removing it to avoid corruption. Boot into recovery, wipe, install from zip, and reboot

I have the latest cwm i just flashed it and it didnt upgrade. Ill try the redownloading again but ive done that a few times already ive even tried a nightly mod to see if that would work. It almost seems as if leesdroid is the only one i can get to work

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ace
The Inspire 4G/Desire HD is code named Ace.
There are download links to the stable builds and the nightly builds.
IMHO though the nightly builds have always been relatively stable.
Check out the DHD development thread.

Download this and flash it with Odin.

You might need to re-convert to ext4 afterward.
EDIT
It goes on the CSC section by the way.
Can't Odin without a PC.lol

I should've read the whole post. It appears that he's on gingerbread though, so the modified recovery file won't work. He'll have to wait till he gets on a pc. :/
What FBi said. Ughhh if only the cwm didnt get erased. Do you know the cause of this problem or is it just random...?
P.S. Currently running stock KF2 deodex. Rooted. :/. Ahaha. I was on kh2 but somehow it went back to kf2..
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Only way it could've gone back to KF2 would be that you flashed it. The thing is that a lot of people reported having more trouble with the earlier GB builds, I'd stick with anything past KG6, so KG6, KH1 OR KH2 for now since that'll get rid of a lot of your problems.
If you do wanna stick with KF2, you'll have to flash the CSC file from KC1 through Odin, then do a factory reset. That should fix the disappearing apps problem. (Raver figured that one out).
u can factory reset from the phone if you can get into blue recovery also do factory reset and wipe cache then do it again from in the phone itself...
that should fix it..
@fbi. The thing is. I was running kh2 then after the 3days, it suddenly changed back to kf2?. idontevenknowhow. I did not flash anything or even touch my phone at all during the 3 days... And i cant get in blue recovery. Even with quickboot. . gotta wait till i can get to a pc.

Ok Here is what I did:
First I flashed temesak's unofficial CM7 bulid then I couldn't access my sd card so I went to flash another rom (Hellfire's 7.2 super tweaked)
Recovery Used : CWM 5.8 Touch (Experimental)
I flashed and then I tried to reboot and then. *BOOM* Right back to the recovery screen. I tried a few more time but with the same outcome
I flashed a couple other roms like Eagle's Blood 2.3 and Weapon G2x but still had the same problem
Thinking it was my recovery I flash the 5.2 CWM and problems still there. Then I flash back a stock backup and a stock recovery thinking I just go back to stock to solve problem. NOPE i'm looking at a box with an arrow pointing at an Android.
I'm thinking I messed with something in the phone and now the command to set to boot normally is replaced with a command to boot into recovery.
Or
My volume down button is stuck but, that's unlikely considering I can use the recoveries just fine and flash roms, wipe dalvik everything too
Please help I bought this phone off of craigslist and been having trouble with it since day one (Unrelated to the seller) just general problems with LG
Try the G2x batch cleanup tool in the dev section. Sounds like your partitions may have been messed up. And stick with CWM 5.2

Nata, what rom are you using? Try flashing something else

Ive been having some issues pop up with my phone in the last few weeks. Sorry but be prepared for a lengthy post haha.
It all started in Dec with the OTA of JB. After than my Maps/Nav constantly force close. I am not the only one with this issue because looking at recent reviews of Maps in the Play store, a lot of GS3 users are experiencing it too.
I made this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115108 to try and see if there was a fix. Never solved the problem.
My friend was running the latest AOKP Milestone ROM and said his Maps/Nav worked fine. So I rooted, bootloader, recovery and flashed AOKP Milestone. Well Maps/Nav still didnt work. Found out my friend never installed the official OTA to JB and went from ICS to AOKP. So it only lead me further to believe that it was something with the update.
Figured I would wait it out till there was a fix, until I started having another issue. I use Handcent as my primary SMS app. All of the sudden one day my notification ringtone stops working. Was working fine then poof doesnt work. Tried redoing all the settings and got nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled nothing. Cleared cache, uninstall/reinstall nothing.
So now with this problem persisting for a few days I got sick of it. Thought I should be able to flash an MD5 thru Odin back to ICS, get Maps/Nav working (along with txt tones) and then flash to AOKP. First I flashed I535VRALF2 and Maps/Nav worked fine, flashed AOKP and didnt work. So today I flashed I535VRALG1 and again Maps/Nav/Txt worked fine. Flashed back to AOKP and Maps/Nav didnt work, BUT txt tones did (for a while). Driving from home to work (15mins) somehow my txt tones stopped working again!
Between each flash I would factory reset/wipe cache/dav data ect. Not sure why these problems are being so persistent. Even on the last time back to ICS, I wiped everything in CWM and booted the phone AND did a factory reset from within the phone settings.
Anyone have any ideas? Did accepting the JB OTA just perma F me on Maps/Nav?
No ideas?
I don't run aokp but found this in the faq on rootz: "Fix permissions in CWMR.Uninstall maps updates/clear cache and data."
No idea if it will help but it won't hurt to try.

Ya I tried that already and it didnt work
And Ive also tried running older versions of Maps as well with no results
Try doing a superwipe. Completely erases internal memory. I know some roms have the option, specifically synergy to my knowledge. It is also available as a zip. Just make sure everything on internal you want to save it backed up to external or a computer. A fresh wipe can do wonders.

I did (I think haha). I installed a fresh MD5 thru Odin, then once my phone booted, I used the internal factory reset option to completely wipe the internal storage. Or is that not the same thing?

Try running the mega wipe zip with the Rom on external sd. If you are restoring
Apps, do so without data first to see if everything works.

Will it work on the GS3? That thread is for the Note2
And im running the latest touch CWM and that thread is a bit confusing, it says:
Requirements: You need to have
1. TWRP Recovery installed

How to use:
Just copy the required zip to your External SDcard and reboot into CWM recovery. Install the zip and you are good to go!

It says you have to have TWRP recovery but then says boot into CWM, so not sure what to think.
any more ideas?
Anyone else?
