My phone (GT-I9020T) was not rooted or unlocked and was running on stock 2.3.4
after some app updates, it got frozen on Google logo
I flashed a stock rom using odin and the process was successfully completed but it didn't work
I wiped all data and cache many times.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM 3.0.2.4
When trying to flash a rom from CWM (without rooting), it stops and says "E: couldn't open rom.zip (bad) installation aborted."
When I try to mount /system, it says "error mounting /system!"
and that happens to data as well
I don't wish to root the phone so it won't be easily brickable as I'm not an expert in this, but I'll try to root it if you guys say that I have to
Please help
Try to re-download the ROM package (I'd suggest the OTA for your model.) It looks like the package was not downloaded properly.
Flashing a ROM doesn't require root anyway.

at least, how can I format my sdcard before sending it to maintenance? when trying to format through CWM, it says it is formatted but it is not
even mounting it and formatting it through my computer didn't work

Try re-downloading the update and try to install that. If that doesn't work, just wait till tonight when another update is released.
I am using PhilZ Touch to install Nightlies without issues.
If you installed TWRP 2.8.0.0 there is a bug that prevents you from flashing. Update to 2.8.0.1:

Thank You Man
Fixed :good:
OK, I seem to be having the same issue as above. I've tried TWRP 2.8.0.1 and the latest Philz Recovery but neither can flash the latest Nightly (24th September). MD5s match and I get the status 7 error so not sure what else to do. I'm sure it's something in the script but thought I'd see if others are having issues
EDIT: Not to worry! Turns out you can't dirty flash CM11 over CM11S so I made a backup and flashed it new
Ok was trying to install a ROM and got an error that there was no OS installed and now the phone wont boot up
I rooted it via Bacon root toolkit and I took a back up before I rooted but I cannot get it to reboot. The back up is saved on the PC and phone not getting picked up by PC
Anyone tried to restore android back up file and went to ab file on pc but it wont load. Can go into fastboot and recovery but not showing on PC
HELP
Delete duplicate post
This is why you shouldn't use toolkits, you have no access to fastboot and no idea how to fix it. What drivers are installed on your PC? I guess it doesn't matter, my advice is to completely delete anything that the toolkit installed and start fresh. Go to my guide thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
I have links to the Android SDK (which contains adb/fastboot) and the right drivers for this phone. Make sure you reboot your PC after deleting everything, then install the SDK and the drivers, reboot PC again, connect phone.

Live and Learn and got back to the stock using adb/fastboot and installing images and back to normal again. I want to update to Lollilop and Sabermod but after trying may just stick with Stock for a while as I kept getting errors when trying to load the ROM??
Thanks

Exactly what error are you getting when trying to flash? Are you checking the md5 when you download? What recovery are you using?

When I tried to flash initially I got the below
Went into recovery and did Factory reset and then wipe cache partition. Then tried Apply update and scrolled to the ROM file and apply update and I get the below error
Install Failed

E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have the files saved in the download folder.
Then when I tried to install with TWRP rather than update I clear cache, dalvik and system and tried to load and got the below error

Ok, you got this error because you're trying to flash a custom ROM with the stock recovery. The stock recovery can only flash zips signed by CM (official updates)

Your problem here is that you're trying to install a ROM but you don't have the correct firmware installed. When flashing a Lollipop ROM for the first time you need to first flash Lollipop firmware and Lollipop modem. Once you've flashed those they're always there so you don't need to do it again. The only reason you'd need to flash firmware and modem again would be if you wanted to return to a KitKat ROM, and then it'd be KitKat firmware and modem that you'd need to flash. Anyway, you'll find the modems here:
http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/modems
And I mirror the firmwares here:
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFRGhZeUNpMEI4ajg/edit
PS. I also noticed you weren't wiping properly before attempting to install the ROM. When flashing a ROM you need to perform a full wipe, this includes system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. This didn't cause the problem you experienced, but had the install succeeded you would have had other problems.

Cheers thanks for that. I thought the ROM updated the firmware and modems so that's a lesson learned
So I download the modem and firmware and copy these into the download folder on the phone and install via TWRP recovery correct? Modem first then firmware? This will then put lollipop on the phone correct?
Then if I want to install a new ROM I need to do a full wipe. I just did not see that option and was just following the video tutorial associated with the Sabermod thread by wiping cache system and dalvik
Read your thread and will be doing a full nandroid & EFS back up prior to do any of the above
Thanks again

CM12 does do that, but no other ROMs do.

Yes, install via TWRP recovery. It doesn't matter which order you flash them in. So install both, then go to the reboot menu, and select to reboot back to the recovery. This doesn't install Lollipop as such, this installs Lollipop compatible firmware.

Go to the wipe menu in TWRP, then select advanced wipe, from there you can choose which partitions you want to wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), just don't wipe internal storage (that's your virtual sd card).

Very good, that's super important. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes the EFS partition will just randomly become corrupt, if you don't have a backup in that situation your phone is useless (you can't use someone else's EFS backup because it contains unique device identifiers).

Reading about back ups etc on the below when creating a recovery
-Make sure you check the md5 to verify its integrity.
How and what do you check?
Also I first do the back up. Then install the firmware and modems and then update the ROM.
I dont need to flash the stock kernal or fastboot images, correct?
Also doing a back up does it back it up to an internal SD Card or should I keep it on PC
Cheers

The download page for a ROM or kernel usually lists the md5 checksum for that particular file. An md5 is like a digital fingerprint of the file, so once you've downloaded it you use an md5 checking app/program to confirm that the md5 of the downloaded file matches the md5 listed on the download page. This confirms that the file hasn't become corrupt during the download, if even a single byte of information is corrupt in a file the md5 will be drastically different.
You don't need to flash the stock kernel or stock images, the numbered parts in my guide aren't steps, they're sections.
When you create your nandroid backup using TWRP it will automatically be saved to your internal storage. You should keep at least one backup on your phone at all times, think of it as an insurance policy just in case something goes wrong, you'l always have a known working OS there to save you. You should also copy it to your PC for safe keeping.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-kernel-sabermod-cm-11-0-t2880407
Just checked their download link is not working but I downloaded the ROM to my PC previously and its in zip format can you check the MD5 v this?

Well yeah, if you can't reach the download page there's no way to see what the md5 is. Not all download pages have it anyway, they should, but not all do.

Trouble Flashing Galaxy S3 I9305 back to Custom Rom
Hi
im wondering if i can get some help. A friend of mine put Pac Rom on my phone in May 2015 and me being stupid, i decided to put it back to stock a few weeks ago using samsung kies. little did i realise what im actually missing out on. so i have tried to flash back to Pac Rom and Carbon Rom and nothing is working. i can flash GAPPS but when i try to reboot, it only comes up as the S3 Stock boot. i cant access anything. i have wiped system, have wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. i still have TWRP installed to use but nothing seems to work except GAPPS
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!?!:crying:
PS until someone can help i will use kies stock rom (LTE Telstra 4G Australia) I9305
Hi
Into TWRP, open the Wipe menu and select Data + System + Cache + Dalvik. Then flash the custom rom (zip file of PAC ROM).
Let us know if it works, if not you will have to flash a stock firmware through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
Hi, I have followed the instructions and it says "E:Error executing Updater binary in zip" i tried again with another ROM and it says "E:Unable to open zip file

It seems you don't have a custom recovery, do you?
Not Anymore
So you have to install one before flashing a custom rom.
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!
