[Q] Can't flash any ROM after ICS

Hi!
I decided to try the CM9 Alpha 11 on my Nexus S. I did like it, but I wanted to stick with GB until the offical OTA comes. But the problem is, I can't flash any ROMs in CWM after installing this ICS. It just says can't open package (bad) when I try to install .zip from SD-card.
I decided to try restoring a GB ROM to see if that helped. I dis manage to restore it, but installing a rom still doesn't work. I have tried with ROM manager and straight from CWM. I have tried multiple ROMs and with multiple different CWM versions. Nothing seems to work, not even a offical OTA .zip package works.
Somebody please help!

maybe you should try odin

You need to wipe system and boot, then restore or flash a new rom.
Go to Mount in cwm, format system, data, cache, and boot, then perform your nandroid restore or whatever you want to do.

are you downloading via wifi or 3g? are you able to open the zip files manually to make sure they're not corrupted?

GALAXY Y Boots only in Stock ROM even after flash

I had rooted my phone, and did use Jelly Blast for a while worked perfect. After a few days I tried installing mods through cwm which led to boot loops. I used odin and got stock ROM for my phone . Now when I tried installing Nemesis ROM, I followed all steps right but though it shows Nemesis boot picture, it still boots into the stock OS.

Hey I'm a noob. By flash your rom, do you suggest to flash the same nemesis rom again? And what will ask me to disable stock recovery? I have cwm version 5.0.2.6 right now.

try this
wipe data
wipe cache
wife dalvik cache
install stock rom via odin
then install your desired rom via cwm

I have tried the following steps:
1. Odin stock rom: I just have pda,csc and modem. I do not have bootloader and pit.
2. Then went to Recovery and installed CWM
3. Installed custom rom JELLY Blast which previously had no issues. (Before this I wiped data,cache & dalvik)
4. Result - > Stuck on Samsung screen.
After which I cannot get back to any recovery mode anymore, it is stuck on samsung screen. All I have to do is go back to download mode and odin it again. But I really want to be back on custom roms

Hi,
This is not your phone issue alone but any phone can face this. To reproduce this issue, it takes more than what you have mentioned. But the solution comes through if you follow these steps just as listed by me here:
1. Get an older version of official Samsung Firmware (preferably 1 or 2 versions older than the latest one)
2. Flash this using ODIN (if flashing fails at any point via ODIN user an even older Stock Firmware version)
3. If you can boot into the Rom fine, reboot to its Stock Recovery
4. From Stock recover, start the CWM.zip that you have (version 5 or 6 whichever lets you load fine, does not matter at this point)
5. When inside CWM, go into Advanced and select "Fix Permissions"
6. Only after you have fixed permissions, go ahead and do the Wipes in the order below
7. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Wipe Data
8. Once this is done, load the custom ROM you want to install from this CWM session
9. After install, when you go for reboot, see if you get any option that says something like "prevent from flashing stock recovery" or so, say yes to it.
This should fix any permission issue that may be preventing you to get to your favorite ROM from stock ROM.
Let me know if this helps or if I can help you further.
Glad if this helped you in any way !

Thanks a Ton, this helped me. The only step I did not perform earlier is Fix Permissions.

[Q] Failed upgrade - now soft bricked

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks
Tim

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

thanks and....
Thanks so much, does it matter that it won't boot with the stock Roma which I've installed from sams? Will the recovery program still work?

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.

No success
Thanks
What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?
Thanks

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

good idea but still no success....

Hi, I've retried all that this morning-i must admit that I didn't know about wiping cache after install, however it's not made any difference, and still hangs on first boot...
Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help.

Happy success
Hi all
Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

Which version of PhilZ? And I have found that TWRP 2.7.1.0 works better than other versions for KK.
Sent from my SGH-T989

Use latest Philz touch recovery. And use the rom and gapps compatible to your tab. Don't forget to reset to factory setting, clear cache and wipe dalvic cache before flashing the rom and gapps ☺

[TWRP] Failed to mount data / Can't factory reset / Can't flash anything

Hi,
I recently wanted to install a stock rom but for that I have to factory reset my device but I get "E: failed to mount/data" for anything I want to do.
Therefore I can't do backups, change /data file system, wipe data or flash anything.
It seems like my /data partition is corrupted but I can still access the current OS (lineage 13) and use it.
I'm using TWRP 3.1.0-0.
Any help ?

I dont think I can flash any ROM by now but I'll give it a try. I will give a feedback soon.
EDIT : I have to flash it with TWRP or use dload method?

I've already tried to flash a stock recovery but it didn't ask me to flash via the sdcard... Maybe I'm using the wrong stock recovery (BLN-L21_B130 from a xda thread) ?
I'm going to try with TWRP nethertheless.

I successfully flashed a stock Marshmallow ROM with TWRP but right after booting I cant accept terms of service..

I wiped cache, did a factory reset and got through this step. I think everything is fine now ! Thanks a lot

Hey again,
I tried to update the firmware to EMUI 5.0 using Firmware Finder but it seems like I can only download the .zip (there is no "Send to Firmware Updater" button).
Do you have any clue on how I should proceed to get to Nougat ?
Thanks again

Oops, looks like I was doing it the wrong way ! But it's fine now and the update is currently downloading
Thanks!
