[Q] Trying to install 4.4

Brand new to this tablet. So I had the stock 4.2.1 software and I wanted to try out the CM11 4.4 rom. I flashed that but recieved a fail on TWRP. I was hoping that flashing CWM would fix it but no dice. I want to go back to stock but I have no access to fastboot and it bootloops into CWM. any help with this?

Ok I have managed to recover the tablet to boot using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44244313#post44244313 :laugh: Now, how do I install 4.4? Whenever I tried to install it using TWRP 2.6, it always fails on me.

[Q] Can't install ROMs

Hi,
I've been using the same old rom for a year or so (slim rom or sth). Lately i tried updating it to something else, but I get this when I start installing rom in TWRP: Error executing updater binary in zip (...). It works the same way every rom i tried.
UPDATE:
Kinda looks like i can install slim rom 4.3 (so i suppose i could install any 4.3), but none of 4.4 works.
Best regards.
Tried to flash CWM recovery from rommanager app, but it said "Failed to flash recovery...".
please help

Download latest recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/crespo-philz-touch-t2284670
Then try to flash the ROM. It seems your recovery is very old.

@smit.sanghavi is right.
You need KitKat compatible Recovery. Update your recovery and then try to flash the ROM.

K guys, wanted to try all you said, but there's another problem.
I discovered my nexus isn't rooted. Bootloader unlocked, but any root checker says its unrooted (of course it was before...). So I'm trying to reroot it but when im connecting my phone via usb in bootloader windows 7 doesn't recognize the device. When the phone is connected in recovery or in normal usb debugging mode it recognizes it as adb android, looks good to me. I go back to booloader and i get "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" in Devices.
Installed the drivers on few different ways.
So.... what now ?
UPDATE: solved

[Q] Help! N8010 stuck at samsung logo.

hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to KK with a stock/official fw; linky via odin 3.07. I am able to flash successfully, the tablet restarts and then just sits at the Samsung "blue oval thing"
I've tried TWRP touch 2.8.0.1 to install Gnabo 6.5, following instructions of Here, using "Installation for N801x". All has gone as expected until I tried to install the bootloader section, TWRP crashes to bootloop each time.
I've tried re-downloading the bootloader as well as clean flash of KK and using CWM touch 6.0.3.6 in place of TWRP; same result.
I have a backup of 4.0.something, but i want 4.4.2. Any suggestions are welcomed, TIA.

Did you flash the Leaked n8000 firmware that Changes the Boot-Loader to the knox boot-loader. If so i think you have to flash a 4.4.2 zip with Mobile odin as it does not do a Boot loader check. There are several threads about 8010 Devices STUCK Into using the n8000 firmware only. Then you have to apply the no cell and wifi fix patches. I do not have a 8010 mine is 8013 so i do not have this issue and have not read totally up on it. It just seems this could be your Trouble.
Good Luck

Thanks Erica_Renee,
I've read about this issue in a few threads, I didn't feel it affected me as my bootloader screen
View attachment 2968202
doesn't show anything about Knox.
but, as I'm short on options; why not. So you're saying go back to 4.0.whatever, install mobile odin and flash KK N8010 rather than through odin on desktop?

[Q] Error while flashing a CM based ROM after downgrading to KK from 5.0

So, I had Asia 5.0.2 and I saw a FIUI ROM for our device at the MIUI forums. I decided to give this a go and first downgraded to KK and then tried to flash the zip from TWRP and Philz recovery but got this error:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
I thought it might be a ROM specific error, but I also tried to flash CM11 but got the same error. How can I get around this? Is this an issue with the updater script or something?
Any help will be appreciated.

Did you do a factory reset from the recovery menu?

N915G - Soft bricked installed wrong stock ROM

Hi,
I was trying to flash the stock ROM on my N915G ROM earlier today however it was the wrong one. It turns out it was for the Singapore version of the N915G (5.1.1) not the Taiwan version which is the one i wanted (5.0.1 is the latest version for the Taiwan version).
Odin shown the failed message when i tried to flash it (which nearly gave me a heart attack).
I installed the CWM recovery and tried to restore my backup that i taken however i just get the Samsung logo boot loop.
I then wiped cache and dalvic cache and reset the ROM. I managed to get as far as the "android is optimizing apps" box but i just get a boot loop when its finished optimizing the 23 applications.
I am thinking i should probably just try and flash the stock ROM with odin but i really dont know what to do!
Any help would be much appreciated !
Alex
EDIT: Flashed the stock ROM and seems to be working now. Can close thread.
