so i just picked up a SR from a guy on CL. he had a build of SkyIcs on 4.0.4 on it. how ever he wiped the device before i got it, there are no system sounds on it. so, i started researching some roms to flash to this like my sgs2 and cappy before it. ive read just about all of them. for some reason i cant get it to work. i found the one i like and downloaded akop_skyrocket_build-38. downloaded that along with darkside and 20120429 gapps as outlined in teh list of what to do for that rom. after flashing the darkside, i cant get anything but the darkside wipe to flash. i downloaded ChimeraVsSkyrocket_Beta2 and DJ-ICS-Plus-V2.0 and they all fail to install...... something about install aborted.
i am using cwm v5.8.4.3
upon opening cwm:
ClockworkMod Recoveryv5.8.4.3
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
i think i just need to odin to a stock build and start over.......

first of all Q/A forums next time. Second you probably trying to install from external sd, I have the same issue maybe cuz its a cheap fake(I have a normal one on the way) just copy the files to the internal drive.
Have you tried to flash cwm with Odin?

Or flash a stock rom with Odin? That may fix it

Try using TWRP instead of CWM. You might have better luck. And don't bother with the superwipe, it's really unnecessary.

Use one of the touch recovery versions. If that does not work. Start with a fresh Odin ics one click or stock Odin flash of gingerbread. Then root, install recovery, and flash the rom of your choice.

I use the same CWM version and have no problems. I also skipped version 38 and went right to the official version 40. There is a thread here in the general section with the links to the latest AOKP version.

Cool thanks. I should have read that. Feeling like a n00b again...... is there a way to get the right one without a PC? I'm at work till late and don't want to wait. If I have to use Odin that's cool. I downloaded the right one to use with Odin 1.85 from the web. The only thing that's weird is, on 2.3.5 since I flashed stock, I can't download anything from the market. I had to resort to evil ways to get the xda app just to post here...... weird indeed....... and the software update says I'm IP to date. Which I know is wrong......

Did you make sure the root explorer app was set to r/w and not r/o? Also you can Odin a kernel and get cwm that way. Its easier imo as well.

now phone says

"convert system partition system is not available"
i think its bricked any solutions
try booting into recovery. Hold power and volumes then release power but continue to hold volumes. Give it a minute. When(if) it boots into recovery, then navigate to the "Voodoo" tab and disable everything.(Click on anything enabled). You will boot up normally then.
Its not bricked. A lot of people went through that. Give me a moment to remember or find the solution. Its been awhile since this issue. One question though. Why not try gingerbread?

Seems your looking to flash a gingerbread rom. If you flash Valhalla while still on froyo your going to have bootloader issues. Fbis251 has a great gingerbread starter kit that you should have a look at. Its in the dev section.

Hey everybody, so I might be posting in the wrong section but since its a question I figured I'd post in the Q&A. So my question is since I still have froyo BL and on CM9 can I still flash another rom even though my recovery has the rainbow effect? In recovery the top 1/3 is rainbow but the rest I can read good. I want to flash revolution rom. And I would Odin or heimdall back to stock and go from there but I have no PC. So yeah would it be safe to wipe all and flash revolution even though I'm on a froyo BL, blue CWM and on CM9?

Yeah, you have had to wait a really long time for an answer. I figured folks were just waiting for you to check out the other threads with the exact same question.
Just messing with you, and you'd really be fine to flash the rom that you want to flash. Your best bet would be to get set up right, though. To get rid of the rainbows, it's not too hard to get Gingerbread bootloaders. Follow the instructions in this post to a "t", including the part in the FAQ about how to get red CWM, and you'll have everything you need for a rainbow free rom flashing experience. It will get you set up on stock Gingerbread with custom recovery. Then you can flash any of the other available roms.:

How is it broken? And sk8's recovery can flash 4.2 roms correctly that was one of the first questions he was asked in his 4.2 compile thread.

Recovery was not the problem. There's a bug in the installation process within Nibbles for the Base Install. Custom installation works fine. Check my thread for details.

You are reverting system files and such. Grab you a STOCK image from Sammobile than flash in Odin following the steps outlined in konanes thread in the dev section. Don't ever flash backwards between versions of android in cwm, you'll soft brick your phone. Bad advice ^^^^dude
