Hi ,I am using Note 3 N9005 . I have rooted phone with lean kernel and Philz CWM based recovery.I was trying to clear some space on internal SD and deleted the storage folder fro the device. After deletindg this folder ,all the other folders in the same hirarchy also got deleted. Now I am able to boot into recovery restore backup using CWM bbut cannot flash any custom ROM .Is there any solution for this . After restoring the backup I tried factory reset ut still I cant flash ROM though I can flash another kernel and TWRP and other CWM based recoveries. I am stuck on to the rom that I dont want.
During flashing ROM I get an error cannot read update package /sdcard/media/0/rom.zip.
Please help if anybody came across such situation and was able to sole the problem

My 2 cents, at least you could try to reflash with Odin a standard samsung rom for your note 3 in order to bring back all necessary files, then go further with a custom rom again.
Good luck

Tried that too. Some how the folder structure has changed which is not allowing me to flash a new rom. Moreover I am not able to copy zip file to phone memory though I am able to copy the complete folder containing the zip file.This has been a new problem .

Repair your filesystem via recovery or try flashing a ROM in a micro SD card.

have you made any backup before formatting your system?
If you have made a Nandroid Backup, then its easy to recover the ROM. But if you haven't made, then Mount USB storage in CWM recovery, and connect your phone to computer via USB cable. Then transfer the ROM zip file to SD card. And then you are able to flash the ROM. Be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats.

You were using a Custom ROM before aren't you? If yes, then probably you should know which ROM you used before.
Anyways you can search in the device-specific forum over here :

Interestingly enough, I was working on the stock ROM that the phone was on.It's a new device I was using.And I just got introduced to the ClockWorkMod thingy, which was just a zip file that I chose thru the Reboot Recovery Screen. I was just mucking around with the options on the CWM, when I unwittingly chose to Format System (No goddamn idea why !!!! )
But I will search for a suitable ROM. Will revert back in case of any issues....THNX !!!
Hello, my phone is rooted and unlocked but unfortunately I'm stuck without a way to rom my phone back to operation (4.0.4). I made the mistake of not keeping a backup or rom on my internal sdcard . Clockworkmod doesn't seem to work when you try and mount the sdcards in recovery
I decided to try the jellybean rom which for some reason doesn't have the play store on it which I cannot install astro so I can copy a new rom over within the os.
I didn't leave any roms on my internal sd card , I cannot mount the internal or external sdcard CWM recovery to copy a new rom and install (running 6.0 CMW) , I've attempted to find a solution to flashing ANY rom back onto my phone via ODIN but no luck.
are their roms available in md5 / tar format that I've overlooked?
Thank you so much!
You may need to flash with a PIT file included with stock rom tar. Look around for a PIT FILE. I don't know if anyone has one posted

did you download GAPPS??? thats probably why you dont have a play store
^^^^^^ that's probably true. If you want to change roms with Odin, there are a handful of Odinable files around. Do you want to go back to an unrooted or rooted rom? Also, what happens when you try to access your SD card (internal or external) from CWM? And where did you get the CWM you are currently running?
There are links to ODINable stock images and the like at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. You should be able to restore your phone to an out-of-the-box state with the information and directions provided.
just do a quick search
Hi guys.
I am a noob in this, but i have done my research and did what i was told.
i have an I9100 and i have rooted it.
when installing CM12.1 (tried 3 diffirent versions) i am always getting status 6 installation aborted.
can the problem be with the kernels? i tried 3 diffirent kernels for I9100.
Please help
Much appreciated.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If you are certain that the ROMs you are flashing are for the I9100 specifically(not another model), then you may be able to use jrummy's root browser to unzip the ROM zip that you are trying to flash, after unzipping, find the META.INF folder and open it then edit the updater script in that file, then using jrummy's root browser compress everything back into a flashable zip, when it prompts you asking which compression level you want to use, select "best", after its zipped, make sure it's placed on your extsdcard(do NOT put it on internal sdcard). When you get in recovery, go to the advanced options and select the option that lets you wipe individual partitions, wipe the system partition and the data partition(DO NOT WIPE ANY OF THE OTHER PARTITIONS), after wiping the system and data partitions you flash the ROM and see what happens.
If you need help understanding all that, you can ask in the forum linked below.

I hope this helps, good luck.

sorry i wasnt clear,
my phone now has "Kernel_Dorimanx-V10.44-LP-SGII-PWR-CORE_-[08-01]-[26-06]-LP-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip"
When im flashing "cm-12.1-20151114-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip" , i get status 6 error.
i followed the instructions on how to fix it using notepad++, and it still doesnt work. tried 4 roms, same error.
unfortunately my external sd card with the backup was wiped. so i have no rom installed.
did i brick my phone? if so let me know what i did wrong please.
much appreciated friend.
When coming from jelly bean or kit kat to lollipop you have to format system and data partition before flashing. Did you do that, you didn't mention in your last two posts that you did that.

No, those are the normal wipes, I'm talking about the format options. Which recovery do you have? CWM or TWRP?
If CWM, boot to CWM, then choose the mounts and storage option in recovery, in that menu you will see the option to format partitions, format system and data partitions, don't format any other partitions or you'll cause more problems. After they are formatted go back to main menu in recovery then continue into flashing your ROM and Gapps. If it doesn't work after that then there are probably things like your modem or bootloader that need to be updated, if that is the case then it means you need to flash any stock updates that came after Jelly bean for your device(to flash stock updates you have to be unroofed and have an unmodified system partition) and then flash your custom ROM, but you need to check that because some devices can't be rooted after certain updates have been taken, it varies from device to device.
If you have TWRP then you'll see an option saying format or wipe in TWRP, choose that option and find where you wipe system and data(again, do not format any other partitions). Then after format is done go flash the ROM.

Sorry, the format options are in the mounts and storage option in recovery, i misspoke earlier, it has been a while since i used CWM, I use TWRP because of some things i do. Try doing the format system and data and then installing your ROM and see if it works.

Hello there,
I was in the middle of installing recovery, root and a custom ROM on my SM-T210 (Galaxy Tab 3 7"), when the title happened. I don't think the issue is device related though, so that's why I'm posting here.
I have StockRom Kitkat Version 1.7 (not the stock rom, that's just what it's called) installed at the moment, but I didn't like it so I wanted to go for Supernova (2.1) and flash that. This would've worked if TWRP didn't suddenly stop being able to see my files in internal storage...
My device isn't encrypted so that's not the issue. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Hello,
Make sure you are mounting system and data
Make sure zip files type is selected and not IMG files
Try moving to SD card and try to see if it's there if you have one
Reflash twrp -make sure it's the latest twrp-
Then boot into it, flash rom

Thank you very much sir, using an SD card did it for me! TWRP was already the newest one I could use so that wasn't an option, the other 2 tips I also already tried.
hi all
4 years ago i installed jaggyrom on my htc pico and also made cwm recovery. Now im thinking of giving it to one of my housememebers, but i need to revert to stock rom. I found the recovery.img and other files but i just cant remember how to restore it. I know it was easy and quick but no luck.
I tried it like this:
put the clockowork files into sdcard
go into recovery mode (power + vol down)
delete factory, cache, delvik...
And the problem is i dont know how to install it, it doesnt appear in instal zip from sdcard. I realy have no idea how to restore to old stock- do i need to partition the sd card? also these are the files on my old usb for recovery, under clockwork/backup/(date)
recovery.img, boot.img, nandroid.md5, system.jaffs2.img, cache,jaffs2.img, data.jaffs2.img, android.secure.vfat.tar.
I know it was easy restoring it 4 years ago, but im just missing something and i cant find or remember it
Guys pleeaase help

Firstly flash yannou90 cwm recovery. Then make a full wipe and do not make any sd-ext partittions. If you have a backup copy this backup to sdcard like this sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date. Then select backup and restore. Then select restore. Then select your backup. Wait and make a reboot. Hope this helps.
