Help installing CM10

I am having trouble, and since I cant post on the page where this should be asked. (this is my first post) I am asking here hoping that somebody will look...
I have rooted my verizon S3 and it works great... I am however trying to install a CM10 Rom on my device. I have followed the instructions and get all the way to selecting the zip on the sdcard. it finds it, it opens it and after about 20 seconds it gives me a status 7 error and says error in XXXXXX\XXXXX .zip
I have done all the steps perfectly and have formatted and wiped it twice trying this... I even have my backup in place...
I have tried 3 or 4 different cm10 roms and they all give me the same error... What am i over looking?
Thanks

I think you need to flash a CWM/kexec hybrid recovery.
Download the app EZ Recovery and flash the hybrid CWM 6.0.1.0

Well if he made the nooby mistake to flash cm10 with a non kexec recovery ..i think he should abandon his hopes of installing cm10 considerong the lost IMEI issue

That us not the issue... I can get into the CWM recovery just fine.. when I choose the install zip from sdcad and choose the rom it will go through finding the package, then opening the update package and then installing update... 20 seconds later i get some symlinks failed, then I get a status 7 error in the file itself..

nope and now im stuck boot looping TWRP after trying what you suggested unsuccessfully.
I appreciate the help... any ideas how I can get out of TWRP back to CWM so I can restore a backup?
Thanks..

You could always Odin back to stock then re-root and install cwm again and restore your backup. May be an easier way not sure. But back up your files on a PC if you do that.

I don't know how you are blaming me when I specifically told you to flash a ClockworkMod/Kexec recovery... not TWRP.
Seems your issue is lack of following directions. Good luck on solving your issue.

Cant make a nandroid in recovery

Yesterday I rooted my 8013 note with UEALGB software and tried to make a nandroid in high on android cwm. It would reboot recovery everytime i started the backup process. So i flashed TWRP through goo manager app then tried to make a nandroid and the same thing would happen. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.
Edit: Seems to only happen when I try to backup the system partition.

I get the same problem, my device will reboot about a third of the way through the backup on both cwm and twrp.

What method did you use to root your Note 10.1?

Zeodmaxs root without recovery first then I went back and flashed high on android cwm through Odin later in the night because I wanted to start playing around with stuff.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.

Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

I didn't flash the superuser.zip. I have root while in android though. I will try to flash it and see if that helps.

[Q] Q phone will not flash, unable to open partitions in recovery

im new to this phone and unlocked and rooted, cwm, problem is it wont flash to partitions inside recovery, nor will it flash is fastboot, says cannot load????
any thoughts would be very helpfull

I don't understand. What are you trying to do? Flash CWM, it fails? Or do you already have CWM and you can't flash a ROM...?
Please explain in detail what you are trying to do, what you have attempted to fix it, and what error messages / info you get back.

Already have cwm after motochopper root method after bootloader unlocked, downloaded slim bean for sprint photon q, booted into recovery wiped partitions and flashed thing is it sticks at the bootanimation, so I waited for a bit after a fresh flash to no avail so I downloaded rds lite and necessary files to flash deleted the 2 lines in yhe xml file, went to flash comes up unknown flashboot command, tried a few times before I tried to flashboot flash twrp, but when I type the command to fasboot flash, error cannot load.img. either recovery or boot

As far as I know.
Well that's odd - did you check the md5sum of the download? Make sure that you have a good download?
Can you give more details about your issue? Maybe a screenshot?

Yeah I can do that a little later

TWRP recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
The only difference between official recoveries and this version is that Loki is built in to recovery.
THIS IS ONLY FOR 10d FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON 10o THEN DO NOT USE!!!
You may want to flash 10d firmware. It can be found HERE with instructions. If you plan on using ROMs it is best to flash 10d firmware first.
Install Methods
Flashable Zip - Must have TWRP or whatever custom recovery already installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Recovery Zip file.
Manual Method - With no custom recovery already installed.
Must have Root first. Check HERE for root
Download the zip file to which recovery you want
Extract zip file to C:\
Open command prompt in root of C drive
You will need adb installed and properly setup in your environment variables. If not place the recovery.img wherever your adb file is located.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
Now you should be in recovery.

I have not tested that way but I am sure you can. If you just need the img file than extract from zip file.
If you try then let us know how it worked out

Using flashify works like a charm. Just extract img file and flash using flashify. As a third alternative.

I haven't used cwm since the days of the vibrant but ,my question is does this recovery speed up flashing a rom? It takes me less then a minute to flash a rom on the nexus 4 so I was just curious. Thanks.

If you been flashing OEM modified ROMs on G2 the speed may have been due to the size of the ROMs.

Sorry I meant to include CM/AOSP based roms. The days of flashing 250mb+ roms are over :good:

I also havent used CWM in a long time now, are there any real differences between this and TWRP besides layout? Any special features unique to CWM?

They all do the same so people will use what they prefer...

Will I lose my twrp backups if I flash this clockwork recovery?
If not, then would I be able to restore twrp backups with cwm? May be a silly question but I never tried this and worried about losing backups.

You will not lose them until you delete them but I am not sure if you can restore twrp backups with clockwork.

Thanks for this! Always good to see people doing stuff on this phone : )

Flashing was a breeze. Thanks.
Does this mount usb-otg? When I try "Mount USB Storage" nothing happens. I am pretty sure TWRP also does not yet support usb-otg. My hopes were CWM did.
Thanks

Adb side load is an alternative for Mount usb. Install Zip --> Install from adb sideload. Unfortunately this didn't work for me either. If it works for any of you guys please let me know the steps you followed. Sideload doesn't work in TWRP also.
In case of a soft brick either Mount usb or adb side load should help. Otherwise you have to go back to stock using Lg tools and start all over again.

Thanks for the reply. I will be a happy camper when we get real usb-otg support from both recoveries

Format Cache is not working
Hey guys,
I flashed this and seem to have a problem with formatting the cache- it just stops so I cannot wipe becuase it stops at formatting cache. Anybody else experienced this before? I flashed again with same results.
thanks,
AC

Just let it finish, it takes a long time. I thought the same and then it finished up.

you make a backup in recovery, then dirty flash, dont wipe a single thing, 444 over it. if alls well after, then perfect. if you have issues, you have that backup in recovery to restore

Unfortunately my clairvoyant skills aren't working today
perhaps you could elaborate on the following 2 things
1) what zip are you flashing?
2) what error are you getting?

Don't use OTA updates. Just manually flash a rooted stock ROM via TWRP.
Click the link in my signature and go to the "resources" section. You'll find a full rooted, PURE STOCK 4.4.4 rom there.
Copy it to your /sdcard, take a FULL nandroid backup then flash the ROM.

if the dirty flash is successful, you wont lose a thing, except time. if you have to go back and wipe, you will lose your data. so, make a backup in recovery first, before the dirty flash.
