Hey,
I'm trying to install the [ROM] Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 - Moray [9/10/11].
I've got CWM installed (version recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img but also tried latest version from ROM Manager).
Each time i try to install the .zip it get's to opening package and then just exits to the CWM menu?
It's probably a common thing, but couldn't find anything from a search? Anyone got any ideas?
This has been covered many times so take the time to do a search.

I had to thank you Muffycheeks for your excellent answer. I am not sure why you did not at least give an indication about where to find the answer or what the issue is? Lucky this was posted in Q&A and not in the dev thread!
I am new to Xoom (only got it since yesterday) and have managed to get the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery installed. For some reason when I reboot the device the recovery is flash back to 3e (I suppose this has been also debated millions of times but I cannot find it yet...)
I had been able to flash one of the custom roms but it gets stuck in bootscreen. I wiped everything I could think of and followed a couple of advices and still not working.
I am downloading the other rom (as far as I can tell there are only 2 customs with one of them based on the other one) and will see if that works.
Sorry Addicteddddd for highjacking your thread but I have been searching for a while until I found your thread and I thought my issues were over to find the standard helpful XDA answer. Some people might have had their device for years but some other are quite new to this.

EDIT: It seems that one of the recoveries do not advise if a ZIP file is bad and therfore comes back with no message. I suppose this is why this is happening.
I downloaded 3 ZIP files and they are all corrput. Not sure what is happening here but anyway.

I don't know if you used this guide but there is a bit of discussion of some issues regarding cwm recovery versions and some pitfalls while trying to flash.Check it out if you haven't
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
Also, how are you downloading the file? Are you getting the right version? If you are using the R4c v3.2.0.0 it should be called solarnz, not tiamat. The guide has the correct link.

My wife has a Optimus T running the stock ROM. Her phone is out of internal storage space and I thought that this would be a good time to put something newer on it. I offered to give her my Galaxy Nexus or get her a Nexus 4 but she loves her phone. She thinks mine is to big and complicated.
I admit that I did not spend a lot of time searching for a solution for her phone and figured that you guys would know best about what is best for this phone. Is there a functional CM9, 10 or 10.1? That would be the best solution, IMHO for her. The main thing I am looking for is stability. Flashy ROMS with lots of bells and whistles are out. Basic ASOP type of ROM is what she wants.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help androidisfuture. If I broke the rules by posting a question in the Q&A forum, I am so sorry, I did not realize that this was not allowed.
I admitted that I did not spend a lot of time searching for an answer, but I could not determine if the P500 and the P509 use the same ROM. The threads that I did review were not explicitly state that they would work on the P509.
Try Gingersnap by neko. Use link2sd to extend memory.
Thanks to those that helped. I got CM9 on it and it is working great!

I guess its ok to ask this: for cm9 flash, what tool did you use? did you just load it via the manual boot-to-recovery and use cwm or twrp, or did you use something like Goo ?
I'm interested in both cm9 and gingersnap... on my shortlist

I just used the latest CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
I have a lg optimus t myself. I rooted using super one click. Then from play store installed from manager aka clockwork mod. The rom I am using is the latest icy snap which has a built in app2sd thing. This requires formatting though so backup first. In fact its best to do a backup right in clockwork mod then store that backup on computer. Pm me if you wish. Once my power is restored and I have a regular keyboard I can give better instructions.

I read repeatedly that ROM Manager does not work on Optimus T/500/509 . before I restored a stock rom I had run it on my handset and I'm not sure what happened to be honest. i had a sorta half-installed CWM.... CWM itself was non-functional, but if I ran Nandroid Online Backup app [from the play store] it would work, stash a fresh backup in the CWM folder on the SD card.
I have read elsewhere that if you run ROM Manager several times, just as if nothing had installed on first pass, it will finally get cwm installed, but I don't trust it. Wish we had a "superoneclick" type tool for installing one of the good custom recoveries.
if anyone knows the term commands for installing cwm, or twrp, or whatever workable custom recovery, i'd love to hear of it - been looking all over but what I find is usually half-described, followed by many posts/replies of fails.

I also recommend AmonRa recovery, its tried and true and you shouldn't run into any problems
thanks for this 3
I have that winfastboot /android-flash-recovery tool - the problem with this handset, which is noted hundreds if not thousands of times, is to try [without a custom recovery] to boot to fastboot mode usually means you will not get fastboot but you will get to reinstall all your stuff again because it will reset your phone . so.. I'm willing to try amonra, twrp,, whatever someone claims has succeeded on p509 but just need plain instruction. there is no magic bullet like there is superoneclick for rooting. can't use goomanager. we see how well rom manager turned out.... if you happen to have a link to something that gives the steps to any of these including cwm I would be quite appreciative. I can't count the number of threads and youtubes, blogs, etc I"ve been through that are titled something like "how to install a custom recovery on optimus _[whatever]" only to find them linking to an xda thread, which in turn has no specific install steps :crying:, or worse... incomplete or erroneous.

Hey all,
With great hesitancy I am asking this question, as I know people generally frown upon questions that has already been asked before. But I have searched on this forum and online and have not come across a solution for my particular device/problem. I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and decided to install the Omega custom ROM. I followed the instructions from DroidView's Omega installation webpage (sorry could not post link as this is my first post, but a google for Omega custom ROM galaxy note 10.1 would give the link).
After selecting the apps that I wanted installed, I tapped on the install button. I saw a bunch of "Wiping" output (preload/dalvik cache/cache) formating system. However, the installation bar is not moving past 0.00%. The screen is not frozen as I can see the color move from left to right in the installation bar, but bar itself is not moving. It has been like that for the past 1.5 hours during which I have been searching for a solution on what to do next. As the installation instructions suggested, I made backup of my current ROM on my external SD card. Preferably, I would like to try the installation process again, but I am not sure how to get out of this "installing" screen. If using a custom ROM is not possible for me, I would like to know how to go back to the stock ROM from the backup I made.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I hope I am at the right place to ask this question, if not some please let me know.
Thanks,
Shaun.
Update:
After waiting for nearly 2 hours, I pressed the VolumeUP+Power button to get to the recovery menu to try to do the installation process again. It worked and I went through the whole procedure again. However, this time the screen froze at the "Select apps you want to install - Default install or remove bloatware" screen after I tapped on remove bloatware. I once again pressed VolumeUp+Power button to get back to the recovery mode.
Now all I see is my the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" logo on my screen and it just sits there. If I press the power button long enough the device seems to turn off but the logo comes on back again on my screen. Does this mean I have bricked my device??? Is there way to get back to a working version of my tablet again?
Thanks,
Shaun.
Update:
I have gotten back on the recovery mode and restored the stock ROM. I am going to try to install the Omega custom ROM again. I will update here how it goes.
Sorry to have so many posts in a short while, I am not trying to bump my own posts. I am just trying to provide as much information as possible on the stuff that I have tried so that people who are kind enough to help me will know exactly what I have been upto. If this is a problem please let me know and I will tone down my posting frequency.
Thanks,
Shaun.

I am using CWM 6.0.3.1. Forgive me, I new at this, but does this mean I need to root my tablet again and install a new recovery if I want to use this TWRP? Also, isnt the problem with Arora and not the recovery? Do you think changing the recovery will solve this problem?
Hi mate...
First., THIS is the Official thread of Omega for the Note 10.1... so please download the rom HERE to be sure..
Second., not all recoveries works with aroma., so i suggest you use Philz instead of cwm....
flash Philz first then flash Omega....
Installation Instructions can be found HERE..

Hey,
Thanks for your reply. I guess I am going for the philz_touch_5.08.5-n8000.zip. Also can just flash this directly from CWM just like any other zip?
I'm also guessing the backups from the recoveries are not compatible with each other.

yes.. you can also download the tar file and flash it via Odin/Mobile Odin..... then flash Omega and that's it...
for further questions regarding Omega you can ask in the Omega thread..

Thanks all for the help. I installed Philz and was able to install the Omega custom ROM on my galaxy note 10.1.
Hello all !
My name is Seby, and I'm here because I consider this a serious community.
With some months ago, I changed the ROM of my Alcaltel One Touch 991, and my brother saw that I can do it, so he wanted to change the ROM of his Xperia e10i mini.
I rooted it, then he was needed to go out of country, so he got just the phone rooted.
Now, he came back, and wants to continue to change the ROM.
The phone was/is still rooted, so I started to search a good CWM for it.
After 2-3 hours of searching for solutions ( found somewhere a tutorial where unlocking bootloader was needed, but I couldn't unlock it because flashtool got error about remounting the system rw, then I kept searching another CWM ) I found a nice tutorial about How to install CWM on xperia e10i. ( this is the tutorial - this is the CWM )
I have installed it, then I wanted to test if it really work, so I spent about one hour to find the combination of keys for it. (spamming Back button while the first "Sony Ericsson" text is loading)
But sadly, it doesn't starts... I tried with ROM Manager (downloaded from pc and copied on sdcard because it doesn't appear in the Android Marker) and rebooted it in Recovery, but it was just rebooting.
I searched for the directory called CWM (or something like that) in phone's data and sdcard, but I couldn't find it.
I'm really bored of this solutions' search, so that's why I registered and posted this.
I hope you can help me, by telling me what should I install, what to do next, etc.
Here is the ROM that I want to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961707
(looks nice, and the part with "is the most stable and feature-complete ROM for the mini for day to day use" convinced me)
Here are some details about phone:
Firmware
2.1-update1
Baseband ?
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel
2.6.29

Did you try Volume down to get in to CWM?
That rom you want to install is 3 years old CM6 = Froyo
Pick some other one, atleast CM7....
You need to flash the kernel first (you can use flashtool)
Kernel has CWM built-in
Enter CWM and install .zip from SD (rom)
I used these when i had my X10 mini
Kernel
Rom

Thank you very much for the reply !
I followed the steps: I unlocked the bootloader, then I loaded the new kernel version... but after ithat, it exited from Flash Mode and started to turn on... but it is stuck in a boot loop now...
It cannot start the OS, it just restarts the loading animation after its own end.
I can access the CWM so I think I can fix it.
I will try to add directly the CM7 because I've read somewhere that this kernel works only with it, so I will give a try
If you have any suggestion, just tell me.
Hurray ! I've installed the ROM !
First, I couldn't install the ROM from CWM (error: can't mount /sdcard) ... then I put the SDcard in my phone and I saw that it is corupted, so I gave it a reformat, then I copied the ROM to the SD, and moved back the sdcard to the sony ericsson and I finally loaded the ROM
Thank you very much for your reply, martinusbe !
Until yesterday, I've lost my hope.
By the way, thanks to all tutorials too
Great.
Now you can try some different roms :silly:
P.s. there is a 'thanks' button, to say thanks...
I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks
Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!
