Every time I try to flash something my tablet fails, and I have to revert back my backup. It doesn't matter if I download on PC or from the tablet itself. HELP!!!!
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Can you post what rom you are using right now, as well as what recovery version.
Also, what rom are you trying to flash ? You are rooted, right ?
If you can post some more details - am sure people will chime in
Good luck,

I'm running stock 4.0.4, Rooted, Clockworkmod recovery. I have tried to flash several different roms. Romswell, AOKP, CM nightlies thru ROM manager. all of them fail in recovery. I flash stuff all the time on my SIII so I'm not really a Noob to flashing and what not, but I can't figure this one out. Thanks for any help.
What are you using for recovery? When you say failed what is the error message? Sounds like you should prolly reflash a current official recovery. If by failing you mean it hangs on first boot then your not wiping system before flashing. Factory reset and wipe system before you flash.
Are you by chance running any scripts for sd card swap, etc ?
I am running this script, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961097 which swaps my 32GB external sd for the internal sd, which runs great - no issues, except with rom manager and flashing from recovery.
I have to go back and de-activate the script, reboot, and then dowload - or transfer file from PC, and it flashes without issue
Otherwise, I have had no flashing issues of any kind - using CWM 6.0.1.5 for the p3113
Good luck,
Bill
Hi All,
On GT-I9100, Android 4.1.2 BuildNUmber JZO54K.I9100XWLSD, I have installed Safe Stock kernel (PhilZ-cwm6 v4.87 with CWM 6.0.2.8 based recovery XWLSD). I then rooted using "Universal Rooting for most phones, Any ROM, now with CWM6 Methdo1" everything ok.
I am trying to make my battery lasting longer, and I do not need many apps. I checked on the different ROM and I wanted to install XWLSD_NeatROM_Lite_V4_3, I copied on external sd and try to install but no sucess, it always come back, after selecting the zip to install, as "Can't open xwlsd..... zip Bad".
I am not an expert, I am sure I have missed something but I do not know what. I did the wipe before installing etc ... but no chance. If anyone could give me a hint on my mistakes, it would be great.
I wounder if the XXMS1 can be installed ?
Thanks
I Installed CM 10.1 on my phone with the zip file placed on the sd card. Before I did this, I updated my root to the current verizon firmware using a zip file and installed it using clockworkmod. I don't want CM 10.1 on my phone anymore, I just want to go back to the touchwiz interface. Please help me! I obviously can't flash the firmware using odin because It was a zip file I downloaded right to my phone. I haven't backed it up using CWM I know that was not smart but what's done is done. Do I just need to delete the zip file of CM 10.1? How do I go about restoring the touchwiz. I already tried to reinstall the zip file that the verizon updated firmware used. It didn't work.
Thanks in advance!
Just find the stock ROM and flash via Odin or download one of the many touchwiz based roms (Axis, Hyperdive, Synergy etc) and install the same way you installed CM
this is maybe nothing new to many of you and will hopefully become obsolete soon, but i thought i post it anyway.
it´s probably already written elsewhere on xda, i don´t know.
this is not an elegant way to do it, but it works.
be aware that both operating systems will share the internal storage (storage/emulated/0).
i´m not sure if this could cause any problems. maybe you can tell me ?
updates marked in green and yellow.
always make nandroid backups and maybe it´s not a bad idea to backup your internal storage too !
i´m not responsible for anything you do or not do !
flashing a kernel will raise your knox counter to 0×1 !
from the safestrap blog:
DON’T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
if you uprade to 4.4.2 kitkat you can´t go back to to 4.3 no more because kk comes with a new bootloader. you can not dual boot a 4.3 and a 4.4.2 rom and you wont be able to use CM. i dont know if safestrap is compatible with 4.4.2 as i´m still on 4.3.
requierements:
safestrap, CM rom and kernel(flashable zip) that works on the rom, TW based rom and kernel(flashable zip) that works on the rom, microsd card, supersu(when coming from CM)
i´m using temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM11 BUILD and bobcatrom for this guide. did it with x-note and the official cm nightly also. if you get an error installing the nightly, remove the first line from the updater-script.
put the required files on your external sd card and follow the instructions.
coming from installed TW rom:
1.install safestrap apk.
2.open safestrap app and select install.
3.reboot into safestrap and make a nandroid backup of your rom.
4.create a rom slot and set it active.
5.restore the backup you just made to that rom slot. (this way you can have any rom on a rom slot. safestrap doesn´t support aroma installer but you can restore backups of aroma based roms, that you installed with twrp to the "stock rom slot" first.)
6.(optional) reboot to see if everything is ok. your rom now boots from rom slot 1.
7.now that you have successfully "cloned" your rom, reboot to safestrap again.
8.set the "stock rom" slot active and wipe.
9.install CM to the "stock rom" slot.
10.reboot into twrp (not safestrap !) and flash CM kernel.
11.reboot your brand new CM and enjoy. for now, you can only boot into CM, safestrap and your TW rom are unreachable.
12.to make your TW rom boot again, reboot into twrp and flash TW kernel.
13.reboot. safestrap shows up again, enter recovery and set rom slot 1 active.
14.reboot. you are back to your TW rom.
from now on, whenever you want to switch between operating systems, just repeat steps 10 - 14.
you can not have CM on a rom slot, it must be on the "stock rom" slot !
this is how to do it:
coming from installed CM rom:
1.install supersu (not superuser !). i used the flashable zip but downloading it from playstore should work too. (if you did just install CM and want to use the flashable supersu, reboot into CM one time and finish the wizard. flashing it directly after installing CM, without rebooting will result in system inconsistency.)
2.install the safestrap apk and open safestrap. grant su permission and select install recovery (if you dont get the supersu popup and safestrap shows "not rooted", uninstall safestrap and reinstall again). do not choose reboot to recovery from the safestrap app, just do a normal reboot.
3.reboot into twrp, flash your TW kernel then reboot. (if you don´t do this, safestrap wont show up as it does only work with TW kernel.)
4.safestrap splashscreen shows up. enter safestrap recovery and backup your "stock rom" (your installed CM).
5.reboot into twrp. wipe and install the TW rom of your choice.
6.boot into your brand new TW rom and install safestrap once again as you did in step 2. (skip this step if you are still able to enter safestrap recovery)
7.follow steps 3 - 14 from the TW route written above. on step 9 you do not install of course, you do restore your backup of CM.
you can of course do this with 2 or more TW roms too (without CM), you wouldn´t normally be able to install in safestrap (aroma!).
you just don´t switch kernels then.
if you flash with twrp often, there is a chance to get the efs corruption issue. if wireless connection are dead, your phone does some weird things and you do not have an efs backup, there is a fix in this thread.
have fun !
important !
even when you flash stock rom with odin, your rom slots wont be removed. you have to delete them first in safestrap recovery to get your full internal storage capacity back !
Would someone be able to make a safestrap for tge N900T

Porting that over to Note 3 would be great! It's also on Nexus 5! And Nexus 5 & Note 3 has the same chipset! MSM8974? Correct me if im wrong would be great with a port though..

M8 the for the info but do we know if this will work with latest tw rom 4.4.2?

I read about multirom, awesome tool.
Hope too that sb will port it. @BlueChris i dont see why this shouldnt work.
Just flash it with odin, take a backup and so on...
CM 11 is also kitkat based.
Be aware, that when you flash it with odin, you loose everything. So backup first!
I can not try it by myself atm. I have a very slow connection where i am now, would take me a week to download.
Edit: some people seem to have trouble with flashing kitkat, so you better read a few pages before doing a mistake.
kk comes with a new bootloader, might be a good idea to get some info before flashing it.
updated: CM route
Kernels
This information is really great, thanks a ton for posting this! I'm currently up to step 10, where can I get Cyanogenmod's kernel only? Furthermore, it sounds like I'll need stock kernel only too, right?

the kernel is somewhere inside the rom archive, cant remember. just extract it and search for boot.img.
put boot.img into the root of the flashable zip i attached and you are ready for step 10.
be sure to have any touchwiz kernel ready to be on the safe side.
any kernel will work for both(CM/TW).
Cool, thanks! Boot.img was in the root directory of the extracted CM zip. It all works now! By the way, if anyone is interested, I'm using the T-Mobile version of the Note 3. To get Safestrap working, you have to use the AT&T version 3.71. This is the file I used coming from stock 4.3: goo.im/devs/Hashcode/note3/hlteatt/safestrap/Safestrap-HLTEATT-3.71.apk
Since I didn't know where to find the stock kernel, I ended up experimenting and just did a restore of only the boot partition from TWRP. This got Safestrap back and then I just reactivated Slot 1 to get back to stock. Is there anything else on the boot partition besides the kernel that I should worry about regularly flashing? I'm hoping this is essentially the same thing as flashing a zipped kernel.
I just discovered that I could take the file "boot.emmc.win" from my original TWRP backup (not the one made from Safestrap), copy it to my computer, rename it to "boot.img", copy it into that zip you shared, and now I have a flashable stock kernel too!
Thanks for your help and for taking the time to make this tutorial. This is something I plan on using very frequently, it's so much nicer to not have to do complete TWRP backups and restores each time.
Hi, just some questions
1- Can I do it coming from latest Cyanogen nightly but having kk as base? (I have spanish NB4 base)
2- Can I update Cyanogen rom without fear of something to happen because of the kernel?
3- What could happen if I change the kernel?
Thanks

Sorry to bring back this thread, but I've spent a few weeks looking and I think this may be the solution to my problems.
I broke the screen on my old Verizon rooted S3 running CM11, but managed to get a backup on my SD card before hte phone became unusable.
I then purchased another galaxy S3 running 4.3 stock (so locked bootloader) Using this dual-boot method for CM, is it possible for me to restore my old ROM onto my new phone? If so, please advise on any possible differences I may need to follow in the procedure.
Thank you so much!
Yellow is a horrible color to look at. Change it to something less bright
Guys is this safe? I think I saw people saying they get stuck in bootloops and all that. I have an international note 3 running s5 port 4.4.2

I have had a look at them, and can see how they would work.
I would like to use them one or the other to setup TW and CM12.1
I have not had the time to sit there and do this. So am posting these links as Untested. But multiple reports show it does work.
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 (p5110), with root and clockwork recovery.
When i wan't to install a rom (made for p5110) i get the error (status 7) even when i alter the file with notepad or if i 'toggle signature vertification.
I have tried it with mutiple ROMS (like slimrom) but they all don't work.
Can someone please help me?
Try updating your recovery, allot of the new roms are running Kitkat and if your recovery is outdated it won't work.
Pp.
I have ROM manager clockworkmod 6.0.2.7 witch should be the latest version.
I also have ROOT, so i don't understand why no rom will install on my tab...
Any progress with your tablet?
Pp.
No, it still doesn't work
Here is exacty what I do:
- Download a ROM (from XDA) for the P5110
- Put the ROM on a SD card (in the samsung tab)
- Boot into clockwork recovery (version 6.0.2.7)
- Install from external SD card
- Get error 7 (even if I put verification signature on)
Witch forces me to re-install my backup of android 4.2.2 samsung tab 2
I must be doing something wrong, but i can't figure out what...
Thanks for the help
Looks like the rooting method doesn't really went well.
What you're doing isn't wrong in my opinion.
You could try to reroot the tab.
Might wanna install original firmware with odin and start the progtess again.
But when I use rootchecker, it says my tablet is rooted, also most of the root apps work (like Greenify, xposed installer apps, SuperSU)
I rooted it some time back, using something like cappuchino (??, it was some time ago hahaha).
If i must do it again, what guide to root do you use personally?
Thanks

Normally I look at the Zedomax movies on Youtube.
When i had a Sammy tab (i thought it was the p7500?) I remember rooting it by some of the Zedomax (HighOnAndroid) movies on youtube.
It is strange that rootchecker etc says you are rooted.
You can try to return to stock and like i said before reroot everything. But... could it be that you are on a current bootloader wich is not the same as the rom you are trying to install ?

I have tried ALL the ROM's from XDA for p5110...
Witch bootloader do you recommend?
Why put rom on external SD card?
Typical download goes to internal, select from internal not external. Forget about the external, typically I move stuff I don't want to erase to external but not roms or gapps.
Pp.
Here is a screenshot of the last ROM & gapps I installed.
These downloaded straight to SD card (internal) typical instructions from developers is to (download and install from internal.)
Try it, you might like it. ? ?
Pp.
tried to install another rom from XDA (for p5110) kitkat from internal sd
Still doesn't work...
Here a screen:
Check your downloads make sure your downloading for your specific model, make sure you have a P5110 ?
Pp.
Downloads are specificly for p5110
I'm sure i have GT-P5110, see photo.
??? Running out of suggestions, maybe try installing a stock rom.
Look in original development.
Pp.
hahaha just my luck...
Where can i find stock roms?
Try Google xda has no original development for GTAB 2..
Just check the dates, don't d/l old stuff.
Pp.
While you're running the latest OFFICIAL CWM for this tab, it is too old to flash a KitKat ROM. But there are newer unofficial versions that work just fine.
