[Q] I need help install cyanogenmod 6

I'm new to rooting and installing custom roms. I used unrevoked 3 to root my ego, then I created an nandroid and wipe my phone. Next, I rebooted the phone to download the free version of ROM manager from the market. I used the ROM manager to download cyanogenmod 6 (stable). After downloading the rom, I did as the screen prompted me and wipe the phone and created a backup. From here the installation process begins and end with
Welcome to Cyanogenmod 6.0.0-supersonic assert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader")="0.76.2000"//9.000"
E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip
I haven't a clue what to do at this point.
Can someone please help?

"E: Error in /sdcard/clockwork/download/mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip"
Read this link, I think it is about the same problem.

If I still can not post a link cause I am new, then I googled this:
mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-supersonic-signed.zip"
I got three hits, read the first one "maybe we need and android tweeking ...."

Also check this out. I am tempted to say you downloaded the link to the actual file that you want and not the file. Here is the link to the actual file.
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/stable/supersonic/update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip
Click that link and then you download the file you need.

[Q] E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory)

Hi Friends,
I am new to the XDA community and was driven here as a lot of my friends recommended this.
I recently installed the InDroid 4.0 on my Samsung Galaxy I5801 handset. Everything went fine, no problems. After that i wanted to upgrade the version from 4.0 to 4.1, but the upgrade method didn't work.
I would get the following error :- E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory) .
I have searched the forum and trust me, if there was a tool on this website which would tell you how long I have been searching, it would be nothing less than 8 hours straight.
I have read thru the forums about fastbooting and other options.
To begin with, I tried formatting my phone completely, used another SD card but I would get the same error. My phone is rooted but that error seems to keep popping up.
I get the following when I reach my Recovery Screen :-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Android System Recovery
Samsung Recovery Utils – For BML-
Enter : ok key, select
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Finding the update package…
E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory)
E: Can’t mount SDCARD:Update.zip. Installation Aborted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed the steps exactly as in the InDroid forum and also, I downloaded the videos off youtube, just in case, but no go.
I am faced with two issues:
1) With this update, my memory card would never show up in the PC.
2) I cannot upgrade the versions.
Is there any way that I can directly go to version 4.4 instead of following the upgrade path?
Is there any way that I can upgrade by resolving this issue.
I am back to my factory Default Installation and the memory card works fine and everything else works fine.
I know that you guys are professionals and busy, but Any help would be Really appreciated. I could just back away to the factory ROM but i don't want my efforts to go waste.
Please Help.
Regards,
Shashank Raj.
Samsung I5801.

[Q] Bricked Photon Q - boots into recovery

I think I've just successfully bricked my Photon Q.
Right now I'm stuck with Clockwork recovery (v 6.0.1.3) and my system backed up.
I've tried to install CM12 (cm-12-20150330-NIGHTLY-xt897) but it gives me an error :
Code:
Installing update...
Warning: No file_contextsThis package is for device: xt897asanti_c; this device is asanti.
E: Error in sdcard 0 update zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
When trying to recover my system from backup it gives me :
Code:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev block platform msm_sdcc.1 by-name system
Error while formatting system!
Right now I'd like to install ANY CM that would actually work. Please help!

Flash the correct recovery.

[Q] E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

Hello everyone. I'm a new member here so if I forget to mention crucial information needed to get technical support, please let me know.
Surprisingly it all started when my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900) was low on battery yesterday. I had to go to college so I took my external battery with me and charged it in my backpack. I didn't need my tablet so I left it in there (was working fine before) and I came back to it this morning to find that it had restarted. It was on the glowing blue Samsung logo, but it wouldn't load past that. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot past the logo no matter what. So I tried booting into Android System Recovery (Power + Volume UP) to wipe the cache and still, same results. This is where I can see the error "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".
I also did the following:
*Download Samsung Kies (both version 3 and the other since each one says it's not supported and to download the other) and try to resolve the issue. Tablet could not be recognized by either version. No fix.
*Download ADB and the official firmware and flash it (adb gives various errors, ex: can't connect. I may be doing the commands wrong as I'm no expert at this). No fix.
*Download Odin in an attempt to flash it, but the first search result in google was a professional-looking website that actually had a trojan-horse for download; had to shut down my PC and run MalwareBytes, Avast! and McAffee to ensure that nothing remained.
I've been at this since morning. I've also looked at other topics and websites about this problem but I can't seem to find a straight-forward solution. Can anyone please help? I desperately need my tablet for work as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance, and please be precise and clear with your answers (because I'm not so good at Android/Linux commands, or rooting or anything that isn't spoon-fed).
Update: Still not working after I tried to apply TWRP 2.8.6.0 (zip) through System Recovery. After finding, opening and verifying the package it gives the following error message:
E: failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Value too large for defined data type), E: signature verification failed, E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument).
I should also note that throughout the entire time I used the official firmware, I haven't used any custom ROMs but I'm now open to it since I have to do all this.
Update 2: Downloaded Cyanogenmod Installer and while it was about to install, it detected the device needed to be repaired. My device was in Android System Recovery under the "apply update from ADB" selection, and these errors came up when Cyanogenmod tried to fix it: "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed".
BIG Update (3): I managed to find the legit Odin application and flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0. However, I'm not sure what to do from this point on out. Help?

Hi.
I am in the same situation. Have you found a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
TWRP should allow for adb access, you should be able to push a different ROM zip to your device. Such as:
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /sdcard/
Then there is also the fire-breather method:
> Nexus 7 > Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock
If you go this way, read and understand everything before continuing. Any questions about it, can go in that thread (once you have an XDA account).
Hope this helps, and good luck!
