Stuck while flashing ROM.. - General Questions and Answers

I am flashing OmniROM-4.4.2 for my Huawei Ascend P1 using Philz Touch Recovery based on cwm 6.0.3.7.. I did it successfully once, created a backup and got back to my old liquidsmooth rom by Spanorg so that I could do a proper backup of my files to transfer it to the new rom. However, upon wiping everything, now everytime I try to flash the OmniROM-4.4.2, it says 'set_perm some changes failed status 7 installation aborted'.. I have the backups, but it says they have md5 checksum mismatched.. and when i try to go into my old rom, it gets stuck in the boot loop..
I have tried clean installing a couple of times, but nothing seems to work..
Any fixes, guys?

[Q] Bootlooping MD5 mismatch after CM11 install

Using ROM Manager and the latest version of CWM I tried installing today's (12-08) nightly build of CM11 to try it out. After doing a complete backup and then wipe data/cache the install failed. I'm not sure why but it said it was aborted and to check log and report the error to ROM Manager.
After that it asked if I wanted to reboot and I wanted to make sure I restored from my backup so I backed out of the screen but then it booted up on its own. It did not get past the S3 loading screen with the CM Android/alien guy it just turned off, back to that screen again and then back into recovery.
At this point I went to recover from my backup file and it said MD5 mismatch and won't load. I've since tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache all manually and then boot up, or wipe everything and try to install the rom again... every time it just loops back to recovery mode. The last time I tried installing the rom again it told me I might have lost root access and asked if I wanted to repair it... I'm not sure what that means.
Any suggestions? I am lost at this point. I have no experience with ADB (I'm not sure if that's my only option) but I've used ODIN mode a few times. Easiest solution would be best.

I had the exact same issue when trying to flash that same CM11 nightly build but with TWRP...
I just pulled the battery took my SD card out and reinserted it and I just kept booting into recovery and turning the phone off until it let me reflash a rom or backup. Obviously this isnt the most legitimate solution but that could work for you! It did for me!...
This could have been caused by needing an update of CWM or TWRP to better support 4.4 perhaps?

I tried that to no avail. I unfortunately had to revert to stock unrooted via ODIN mode and it got me to boot back up. I can just reroot now. Luckily I made a backup with Titanium and uploaded it to my Google Drive.

Pico struck at HTC boot logo

My Pico is stuck at the HTC logo at startup. I was using CM11 RC2 with mounts2sd, then it rebooted suddenly and struck at the logo. I tried to reinstall the rom but it says the installation failed. I tried it many times with many roms (cm11 weekly, omni, carbon and even cm9)and it sometimes gets installed but struck at the HTC logo. Will there be any use if I tried to restore a backup? If so where can I find the backup coz I deleted my previous one and don't have one currently.
And...
When I tries to change the recovery to aw3sm3 or twrp or cwm it says 'malformed 1 byte' error. I tried to open the img file with rar but it gives an error. I tried downloading from the internet but all the recovery files were like that. I even tried on my friends laptop. What might be the reason?

For your first problem: Its may be because your nand is burnt.
Solution:
1. Download superwipe
2. Flash superwipe
3. Flash your desired Rom
For your 2nd problem: First try to flash the recovery in fastboot, if it doesn't work try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54475962

Help! Tried MIUI, didn't work, bootloader changed and can't restore from TWRP

Hi everyone!
I figured, why not give MIUI a try. I downloaded the rom, made a full TWRP backup, then installed the ROM. It just froze after the MIUI logo appeared, so I decided to restore.
All the while, I noticed a new red Oneplus logo where the old one had been white. But even after restoring my backup, the startup logo was still red, and my previous rom was freezing during the boot animation. I tried again, no luck.
Then I thought, I'll just load my old rom (Vanir/Exodus) from the downloaded zip OVER my restored rom, maybe that will fix things. It won't let me do that, however, due to an error in TWRP which I've never gotten -- "Error executing updater binary in zip".
So I went to the bootloader to update TWRP, and noticed the whole bootloader looks different and is in Chinese. So it must've been part of the MIUI ROM.
What do I do now? I'd love to just fix the bootloader but not sure how. Maybe if I did that I could then restore my backup. As a precaution, I've ADB Pulled the backup folder just in case I have to start over, then I can copy the backup folder back in and try to restore it........
Thanks for the help!
Well, I figured it out on my own. I went to download the latest version of CM12 from here, and ADB Pushed it while in TWRP. I then installed it, and it didn't give me that assert error. I rebooted, but powered down while it was starting up, went back to TWRP, and restored my backup, no problemo. I wonder what happened.
It would be nice to understand what the issue was that prevented me from restoring it initially, and what I could have done manually to update the particular thing that I needed to update.
Pretty sure it was an the firmware ColorOS uses and is incompatible with the newest roms based on the CM firmware
