Hello,
I am trying to install Resurrection Remix ROM onto my Captivate i897 but keep getting "Can't open ... .zip (bad) install aborted". I have CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 install running CM11. I've heard good things about RR Rom and would like to try it. I've performed wipe data/factory reset, whipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache but still getting this error. If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there.My brother is using this ROM and it is wonderful. I guess I know what seems be the problem. I had this kind of issues last time when installing new ROM. You are doing it correctly only that you need the latest version of CWM, that is the Philz touch 6/CWM v6.0.4.8. Try that.
Thanks for the info. Just a bit of an update. I managed to flash RR 5.0.0. The very first release. I noticed my CWM is now at 6.0.4.7. I then try flashing the latest RR release 5.1.0 but am still getting the (bad) message. Is it the case that I need to flash all of the RR release in the order they are introduced? This would be a pain I don't believe there is support for the touch CWM for Captivate. I went to goo.im and was not able for find Philz touch for Captivate i897. Is there another location I can download the CWM 6.0.4.8 for i897?
Thanks.

That would be a pain for sure. So far as I know, if the error pop up during the installation as you mentioned on ur 1st post.. that is due to the CWM. I had this issues when installing UltimaAOSP ROM 4.4.2 on my S3. Only I need was the latest CWM and tadaaa. No problem. Glad to help you a bit. Try to search in the forum or google it. I'm not quite sure also regarding your device. Sorry yeah.
Well ... I managed to flash 5.0.5 but am still getting an error for 5.1.0. I'm going to try 5.0.7 and see what happens. Will post back.
Thanks.

I've managed to flash 5.1.0 (the latest release at this point) after flashing 5.0.7. Not exactly sure what happened there but maybe CM11 had something to do with it. But I think you're correct in saying you need the latest release of CWM. Thankfully when I flashed 5.0.0, CWM 6.0.4.7 was installed and that is probably what got me through the rest of the releases. Thanks again for your help.
No problem. I'm glad that I can helped you. Your welcome.?

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks
Tim

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

thanks and....
Thanks so much, does it matter that it won't boot with the stock Roma which I've installed from sams? Will the recovery program still work?

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.
No success
Thanks
What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?
Thanks

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Hi, I've retried all that this morning-i must admit that I didn't know about wiping cache after install, however it's not made any difference, and still hangs on first boot...
Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help.
Happy success
Hi all
Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

Which version of PhilZ? And I have found that TWRP 2.7.1.0 works better than other versions for KK.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Use latest Philz touch recovery. And use the rom and gapps compatible to your tab. Don't forget to reset to factory setting, clear cache and wipe dalvic cache before flashing the rom and gapps ☺

Hi there!
Guys....I need some clues on how to handle with this problem.....
I have my 5.0 LRx210 rooted and installed TWRp recovery by use of Nexus Root Toolkit...the root and the recovery just work fine...
Somehow I managed to try flashing my favorite roms....like Pure White Rom/Xtrasmooth2.4/Cataclysm....and so on..
I have got success only on Pure White Rom...for other roms after successful flashing it just keeps saying: No OS installed are you
sure you wish to reboot. For those roms I have tried both Full Wipe flash and Dirty Flash...but got no success..I don't know why?
Come to the blind end now.... I am just staying on Pure White rom waiting for solution....
hope someone here guide me something...thank you

Thank you bro
I did try it already...just stuck on the boot black screen with google logo.....
Although try updating the TWRP recovery to the latest 2.8.2.0, or even CWM recovery....just got the the same result.
The flashing process is mentioned as Successul.., but then when pushing the reboot button it just shows me the above mentioned sentence....
thanks anyway

Try flashing TWRP 2.8.1.0 in fastboot and try flashing a rom again, 2.8.2.0 can be quirky for some users.

Yes...I do apply root and TWRp recovery 2.8.1.0 via Nexus Root Toolkit 1.9.8....at first.....but it just keeps saying NO OS installed...after finish flashing another rom like Xtrasmoot/Stock5.0 flashable/Cataclysm and bla..bla...bla....(except for Pure White Rom which is my current rom)..and trying to reboot the system.
So I decided to try it with other recoveries like 2.8.2.0 and also the latest CWM recovery....Yet I've got no success till now...that's quite weird
(I have tried flashing with both Full Wipe Flash (Data factory/wipe cache/dalvik cache) and Dirty Flash (wipe cache/dalvik cache)...but as you know...no success....

Well if it we`re me i`d reflash the factory image and start over from scratch, then install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and flash superSU.zip 2.3.5 and flash a custom rom.

Yeah...I reflashed it with factory image 5.0 LRX21O downloaded from Official Google Resource and began the whole process of rooting and recovery installation (TWRP 2.8.1.0 and SuperSu.zip..offcourse).....and then started flashing custom roms...the only rom that I could get through with success is Pure White Rom......for other roms it just had been like I mentioned above......
.....I can not figure it out now....why?

Because some things on your phone are messed up and figuering out what that is/are will probably take longer then starting over imo.
I'm having a difficult time installing cyanogenmod 11 to my S3. I have scoured the internet looking but nothing seems to work. I have Philz touch recovery and I even switched to sprints ND8 modem. Now I did read that I would need the latest CWM or TWRP but when I tried to install them they do not mount to sdcard or usb, nor can I install CM11(d2spr or d2lte). I can't even install the CM installer lol. Any help would be appreciated and If there is any info that you need to better help let me know. Thanks in advance.
Ok so I think I may have figured it out. Ive been getting a status 7 and it would abort the install of the zip. I just got done reading some of the thread on Philz recovery and it says I have to update script binary? Now is that the same as the binary that gets updated for the SU?
OK I figured it out it. I just did a factory, partition cache, and dalvik cache wipe about 3 time each and installed the oldest snapshot of cm11 and it worked and I can go up from there.
Hi All,
I am using Samsung S2 GT-I9100 device with CM12.1. Earlier I was using KitKat and recently updated to Lollypop. While I was on KitKat got an update for CM12.1 Nightly and updated my phone to Lollypop. After that all my Gapps have stopped working and even I have tried to flash them through recently available Gapps packages, none of the Gapps are working.
Please suggest the fix.
Thanks!!

get the update from cm site, and a lollipop gapps. wipe cache, dalvic cache, and system only in advanced menu, then flash rom and gapps.
no data will be lost. make a backup first, in case there is a problem.
Thanks for your input. Just querying, if i will flash only the gapps will it work as my phone is already have lollipop os. Just trying to avoid to flash lollipop again.
Please let me know your thoughts.

really nothing will change by doing it the way i said, unless you made a bunch of system mods.
you can try it your way, it may work.
my way just gives you a clean system, so there is no chance of conflict with the old gapps that dont work properly.

i wasnt aware cyanogen had their own recovery. not knowing anything about it, i cant speculate if you can use it to flash with.
the procedure i described in post 2 are the proper steps, but if you dont have those options in the cyan recovery, im not sure what to tell you. sorry
