When I try to flash a new rom I get an error (fail) or sometimes recovery freeze and reboot.
I don't understand why this happen, sometimes I can't flash any rom, other times I can flash some roms like cm10.1 and other roms fail.
Now I flashed pac-man rom and I can't flash any other rom, so I restored backup of cm10.1 but I can't flash any rom for now.
I'm using TWRP 2.6, but I got similar problems also with CWM.
I don't know why flash roms with my photon Q seems so difficult, with desire z and g1 I never had similar problems.
Anyone has got similar problems?
I never had any problems, and I flashed my Q a lot with TWRP... Are you using internal or external SD? If external, do you have any issues with the card? Is it old, bad sectors, etc?

My SD is a samsnug 32gb class 10, no problem with sd card. I'll try to use internal SD card for flash roms
Now it works, with flashable zip on internal memory :silly:

Try another brand of sdcard like sandisk, see what happens ... Sometimes no file corruption doesn't mean your sdcard is in good status.

I am running rushdroid now with a backup. I would like to try ThaiZ 2.7, but I'm out of space on my internal sd. Can I save ThaiZ to my ext. sd and flash it from there with cwm?

Yes, you can, just mount it from the CWM Recovery and you're set.
Thanks... I thought so, but just making sure.

Are you sure you can flash from an external SD card.
I'm really trying to work out how to do it on a Samsung Galaxy S.
I have a discussion going in this thread (How to flash a ROM with out USB) if you'd care to explain.
If you could provide pointers I'd be most grateful.
Thanks.

i cannot speak for your phone, but as an o3d user and flash-a-holic, i can readily tell you that i am able to flash/back-up roms from/into both the internal and external sd cards. i have done it countless times... if it doesn't work on your phone, maybe you can give rom manager's dev team a message

Start cwm and choose "install zip from sdcard" and on the next screen you have two options one at the top of the list(your external) and one at the bottom(your internal)
I might have to do this because my files are everywhere, and possibly to have a clean start. I'm backing things up, but if I wipe internal storage, will it give me an issue if I try to flash a rom and gapps?
I believe this will delete your recovery too so you will have to push your recovery back on to your phone using adb.

If you wipe data in twrp it wipes the internal card now.
Learned this the hard way that they fixed it. Thankfully I don't keep anything important on their and keep it on my external card.

I accidently wiped my internal storage on my S3 and don't have an SD card. Can I flash a new ROM using my PC? Or am I ****ed?

Yes, you can side load a ROM that's downloaded on your PC, or you can push a ROM to your internal storage with ADB. There's definitely a few guides on how to do it in this forum.

Yeah. Wiping and formatting your /system or any internal directories is lovely for a fresh and stable start... just need to have a ROM on your eternal SD card, haha. I've done this several time, forgetting about having a ROM to flash afterwards. LOL.
Just get an external card, have the ROM and flash it from there. Makes everything way easier!
Alright, I installed Paranoid Android, flashed GAPPS.
And somehow, my SD card is never detected.
Its a Samsung 4gb SD card given to me when I bought the device.
I tried fixing permissions, reinserting, formatting, etc.
It is FAT32 and worked when I was on Gingerbread.
Also tried another SD card, was from Toshiba, no luck
Any ideas guys?
EDIT:Reflashed to stock, SD card works.
But I freaking hate Gingerbread...

Glad to hear it... I think your device didn't update properly the first time you tried it... sometimes we have to take the scenic route to get to where we need to be...
My ext. Card (32gb sandisk ultra micro SD) constantly corrupts random files. I don't think it is the card because this is the third card I've used with the same results. I can however use the card on my laptop and it works perfectly fine via the card adapter. If I put music or movies on the card from the laptop and try to use it on my phone the file won't work or works for a few seconds then stops. Also, when I save to my phones internal memory it works fine. Has anyone else had issue? I've tried factory resets and custom ROMs but its always the same result. ANY input would be greatly appreciated.
Don't install custom ROMs on top of each other.

Tried it and it didnt help. I tried putting some files on my phones ext sdcard via usb cable from my laptop but it freezes in mid transfer. Also when I tried to make a Backup with CWM it wouldnt complete. So i wiped/formatted and fresh installed stock rom again and installed TWRP with the same results. I think its time to just give up. Also when I try and install SUPER USER it gets stuck in a boot loop. Frustrating.
ideas anyone
Okay I was able to flash cm10.1.2 and super user with twrp. Its crazy I can transfer media to the internal storage just fine but not to the SD card. I've factory reset with twrp and reinstalled stock and nothing seems to fix this.

I'm so glad someone has posted this issue, I can confirm it does exist on stock Rogers RUXUMA ROM with an external Sandisk 64GB class 10 card.
The problem especially occurs when downloading compressed files from the internet. They appear fine but when you try to extract them, they have CRC failures. Sometimes they are fine until you reboot the phone.
I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue for months, its a problem with MTP or exFat on this particular phone. I've tried both CWM and TWRP, no success. The old Gingerbread ROM which didn't have MTP or exFAT support works fine, I've gone back and tried dozens of times.
I'm just surprised nobody else has reported this.
Hi all, posting here as I do not have 10 posts yet I am moving from 10.1.2 stable to Beans 19, besides backing up , wiping etc...and flashing beans is there any thing else I should do since I will be going from aosp to tw?

No issues, however your internal "sdcard" will now be "sdcard0." Just how 4.2.x on up handles multi-users. Just a note, whenever I've gone between 4.1 and 4.2, I've backed up anything I want to keep that is on my internal sdcard to my external sd card, and wiped it in CWM. I format system, cache, data, sdcard before I flash any rom, and haven't had any issues other than my internal sdcard being changed (annoyingly) to sdcard0.

Hmm, not sure on that. Maybe someone else can say, but I never tried to rename it back to "sdcard." Worth a shot. The worst case is that is would say you cannot rename. I'm on a TW rom, and mine says "sdcard0" even though I've done all the wipes.
I used Beans 19 for a while with no problems. wipe as usual. I always move everything to external SD as well and then wipe and format then wipe again and then flash. Probably overkill but I've never had problems either. I use TWRP as well in case you care
The sdcard0 folder is on 4.2 ROMs, which I believe CM 10.1.2 is, no? Beans 19 is a TW 4.1.2 ROM , so the sdcard0 folder shouldn't be in there.

You're thinking of sdcard/0 which is on JB 4.2+. Sdcard0 is what the internal storage is called on TW.
