Did you download the rom for your unit?
Did you check the check-sum to check if its corrupted?

Update ur cwm recovery or use twrp
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

To be a bit more specific, use at least version 6.0.1x for CWM or 2.2.x for TWRP and you should not have any issues.

And definitely check the MD5 if you downloaded it from GooManager, as my download aborted last night and upon checking the MD5, it did not match. Even though GooManager is supposed to automatically check the MD5 when it downloads anything?

Lost root?

I haven't taken any ota's, and out of nowhere I don't have root. I tried updating binaries through supersu, but utility says installation failed. Help?

That made me lol.
Sorry I know I'm not helping at all, but really, that made my day.

More information. What ROM, do you have a custom recovery? If you have stock recovery then the ota def updated itself. If your stock rooted then it will do that without asking

I'm stock rooted, but I had flashed twrp recovery

Repeat the rooting process again.

Please help!!!

Man,
My questions must be so stupid that I can't even get someone to respond!
When trying to flash certain things using CWM, I am prompted to install an “untrusted zip"...
Has anyone experienced this and is it safe to install untrusted ???
Please help

Is whatever you're flashing stated as compatible with your device/made for your device? Have you tried flashing with a different recovery (If available)?

I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and was trying to flash the nexus 4 boot animation..
This happened a few days ago when I tried to flash some of the android 4.2 system dump.
Both times it says “ install untrusted zip". I just tried to toggle verification and that did not help.
Thanks for helping

You might as well just make a backup and then flash .

I'm such a noob I don't even know how to make a backup, I've been trying to figure this out for days!

Bizarre, I just flashed the 4.2 clock and it worked via mobile Odin.

This is due to you having stock recovery. It will not flash anything not signed by samsung

No. It's not safe to run untrusted.zip. It may be contained with viruses and may screw up your phone or PC. Only run files with actual names because you don't know if it's good or bad. It can crash your phone, not to mention your PC.

"Untrusted" is not the file name. The recovery is just stating that the file is "untrusted" since its not official from the manufacturer.

Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it's not I can't help ... make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and install Rom Toolkit from Google Play. Rom Toolkit has a bunch of boot animations for free, including the nexus 4 animation. Also, it will install these from the app itself - much easier than doing it in CWR.

Hey rookie, welcome to xda!

While I've got your attention..
Can you guys help me with something else??
I'm running jellywiz RLS12, yesterday I flashed a 4.2MOD pack over jellywiz. After flashing it, I realized I didn't want it. I tried to research how to “unflash" stuff but was unsuccessful, ended up having to do a factory reset and reinstall jellywiz.
Any pointers on how to do this more effectively??
Thank you!

soething like this also happened to me when i tried to flash cm11 to my xperia sola it was because the kernel i was using was not supporting the ROM once i "fastboot flash boot boot.img" , boot.img given in the zip folder i was able to flash the new ROM. Best of luck

Did you flash the boot.img over pc or on the phone?

I support. This seems like a boot.img problem. Try to make it via PC while the phone is in fastboot mode.

This is for a galaxy s3, would download/odin mode qualify as a fastboot mode? :S

I would recommend using the latest twrp. I find it much more reliable than CWM. Just my two cents.

Make a flash able zip for boot.img.
.img cannot be flashed through custom recoveries. .
Only zip file can be flashed.

I used TRWP and compressed the boot.img into a zip to flash and attempted it but I get a failed message.... Should I just scrap it throw away the phone at this point? Nothing seems to work...
