Can't downgrade or change rom, please help

Hi, I've been following the Cyanogen upgrade path since I rooted my phone a couple months ago. The problem is now that I have installed RA-recovery 1.7 and CM6 I can't get anything installed besides CM6 running on the phone.
I did install clockwork recovery and same for that. CM4 hangs for an hour+ at the boot screen. CG_slide2g1 and kings slide2g1 and various hero roms will install and boot but then rosie force closes and the only thing I get is the notification bar.
I downgraded to ra-recovery 1.6 and same results for each. Between each room I do a full wipe of everything, including sd card reformat, with same result. The only rom that will install is CM6.
Anyone have any ideas why?

I believe that you have to do a full system wipe from fastboot, as recoveries do not clean out all of the CM6 files.

Does apply for clockwork recovery to that you can format the various different partitions? Sorry, still learning and want to make sure.

[Q] PLEASE HELP! Clockworkmod broken?!

Tried flashing a 2.2 Sense ROM in clockworkmod 3.0. Did not work, I was told to flash an older version of clockwork-mod.
flashed the ROM, all was going well until the unthinkable happened.
I now get this system error:
E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 388
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
Installation aborted.
Forgot that clockworkmod would erase my old backup... I can get into clockworkmod by the way. If I mount it, can I sideload someone else's recovery image...??? If so, could someone provide one? thanks
Noob-friendly help plz?
thanks-- just bought my nexus :/
Edit: Also, using a mac. Have access to a pc tomorrow. I just want sense :[
Clockwork 3 seems to have been messing with a lot of peoples partitions. Install a different recovery, like Amon Ra, our an earlier Clockwork.
Then you can try and do a full wipe, and install whatever you want for a ROM.
Clockwork won't have deleted your backup, but if you made it with Clockwork 3, it may not work with other recoveries...

IMO, AmonRa works better with the N1. I've thoroughly used both. Clockwork works great on the SNS.
Yup. Problem solved :]
flashed Amon-Ra via Fastboot. Coming from a vibrant which features the luxury of odin and wonderful Clockworkmod support. Thanks for the help, was geeking out for a while without odin at my disposal. Never had to partition sd in my life haha. Learning a lot.

[Q] Nexus One "Status 7 error "

I've rooted and unlocked my N1 and flashed it several times with custom Roms. I recently went from CM7 RC1 to a rooted stock 2.3.3, for which I had installed HBOOT. Now I am only able to perform a nandroid restore to change the roms and am unable to install CM7 RC2 or even to reinstall CM7 RC1 with which I was previously running. The error I see is:
Installing update . . . .
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="
one" || getprop("ro.buiE:unknown command [ld.product")]
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zio
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I've looked through Cyanogen and XDA forums but I haven't seen a direct response to this particular issue. I've tried Wiping and wiping the davlik cache, and I've flashed Clockwork recovery and RA recovery via rom manager. I've tried 4 separate roms and get the same error, and these are roms I was able to use previously.
Any help or even a push in the right direction would be very much appreciated, as I've essentially hit a wall. Please excuse the noobish picture of my N1 screen , I don't know how to take screen shots.
status 7 error
i have the same problem. solution plz
So this happened only after flashing the hboot right?
Did you try wipe/data factory from the recovery menu?
Looks like a problem in build.prop of the ROM currently on device.
Solution: check build.prop for the line that the installation scripts fails at, see what it's expecting and what's there, and change accordingly. You can do all that by ADB shell in recovery.

From the screen shot, i think you are trying to flash an NS ROM!! That's the reason it fails

[Q][Still not Solved] Nexus one getting buggy with 7.1 mod

Greetings fellowmen!!
Recently i thought of rooting my nexus 1. So i did some research and found out that the easiest way to do it was by unlocking the bootloader installing a custom recovery (I did Amon Ra) and then wiping the data\factory settings and flashing the cm 7.1 zip. So i did all the above and there you go....I had an n1 running cm 7.1 smoothly but then after a few hours it starts to piss me of. The problem is that whenever i lock the homescreen with the power button and wake it up again it just displays the main homescreen and does nothing i cannot navigate to the left or right homescreen cannot open app drawer in short it just hung up there doing nothing. I had to take out the battery atleast 15 times. I rebooted my device and it kept on giving me the same problem.
So then i reflashed cm 7.1 by wiping the data and factory settings and installing it again. But still it gave me the same problem. So then i thought of flashing 7.0.3 version instead and surprisingly that works like a charm. So is it the mod thats buggy or is it my phone.
One more question. I have the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread rom which i got from here!!
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
This one in particular-
GRK39F OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
MD5: 35C8B4B9FD22DD4CA19C5D026E74411D
So to install this rom do i have to install it the same way i did cm by wiping data/factory settings and then installing flash from zip or is there any other way to do it ?
Thanks in advance for taking out valuable time and reading my long problem!!
I am running the latest version of CM 7.1 that was released within the last week or so without any issues. Got it from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=passion
Before that I was running the RC for 7.1. One thing to try it wiping multiple times before flashing. I assume you are running Amon RA 2.2.1, which is the latest. I have never had a problem with that recovery, however I flashed my ROM with this recovery. So far I think I like it better than Clockwork and Amon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
As for installing other ROMs yes you do flash them the same way you flashed CM.
So are you saying that it was the recovery that was causing the problem?
Yes I am using the latest Amon Ra 2.2.1 version.
I also got the rom from that link.
And can you explain whats the difference between all these recoveries?
Thanks for replying!
I am not saying it is the recovery, I highly doubt that is the problem. I was just comparing differences. There does not seem to be much difference in the recoveries for what you are trying to do. The recovery I am running is a fairly new one that I just wanted to test out. I do think I like it better than the others.
First thing I would do is wipe 3, 4 or 5 times before flashing. I have had rare occasions where a single wipe would not do it for me. Also have you verified the Checksum of the CM download? Does recovery say it installed successfully? I have also had error installing a ROM in recovery but then had the phone still load the ROM.
Yes i did check the md5 checksums and they match perfectly. Though i did wipe it out only one time so maybe that could be the problem. I think i should get clockworkmod and wipe it through that and then flash cm 7.1. Amon RA doesnt really give us the option of wiping the system partition. right?
Correct Amon Ra does not have an option to format system partition. It's recommend you also wipe system when coming from a different ROM.
Try this file by temasek's, format-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?8vbd13b440coxx6
just flash it in recovery and it will clean everything, now you can flash CM7.1 again
Are you sure you can't wipe the system with Amon? I remember having that option, but it's been several months since I have used that recovery. Kind of makes me want to flash it to find out.
Before flashing a different ROM I always wipe system, cache and dalvik cache. It is definitely important to wipe the system before flashing a new ROM. I'm sure that is where your problem lies.
No, ClockworkMod has it, but Amon_RA doesn't. Supposedly it is in the works for the next version, but that was a long time ago when I heard that (probably back when v3 for clockworkmod came out).
I did a nandroid backup and flashed the format zip file and then flashed cm 7.1 and its giving me the same problem!!
I had to restore and go back to 7.0.3
Why is this happening
Edit: I also wiped the dalvik cache and factory reset it also but still it just freezes!!
Any advise?
Have you tried downloading the file again maybe form another location I doubt this is the problem but sometimes it's something you don't expect.
You could try from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
But how does it matter I checked the md5 checksum and it matches!!
Why not stay on CM7.0.3 theres not much difference between the 2
if you dont want to i suggest to try to flash Clockwork recovery and do a full wipe then reflash CM7.1
But still I want to see how 7.1 is!
The main point here is to upgrade and not taking the alternative of staying at the older version!
Please guys any help would be appreciated!!
Doesn't CM7 need clockworkmod 3.x?? Try to flash CWM3.x over Amon if you can get your hands on the flashable zip or if you can get into a working rom, use romManager to switch from amon.

Make no different if you use amon Ra or CWM. I would definitely stay away from cwm 3.x or higher if you're using sd-ext
Looks like Ill have to stay with 7.0.3 there doesnt seem to be a solution!!

[Q] Continuous boot, assert failed troubles (Help)

So I posted a help thing about EFS a while back and didnt get to much help with that but i managed to figure things out. Now however
ive got myself into another predicament i cant seem to get out of.
So, from the start, i have a galaxy s3 (GT i-9305T) it was rooted, i still had the stock rom, but was running the beoffla kernal.
The idea was to download and install "JustArchi I9300XXUGML2 stock, deodexed and all the rest" then start finding
some nice themes. Ive got philz_touch_6.07.9-i9305.tar installed for my recovery.
This is where the trouble starts...
So first off i wipe the cache and the davik cache, go to install the rom then i get this: (ill go from installing update)
assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/boot.img" , " /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" )
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/Just archi........zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Now i looked up a whole heap of pages to see if i could sort it out myself and i tried a few different things,
none of which have prevailed. First i tried to reflash an insecure boot image then try again, nup. I tried to
flash back to stock recovery and re format (No errors) then back to custom. Mounted /data and /system
and re formatted which worked with no error, still same error when flashing rom though. Also tried flashing
with different custom recovery, no luck there either.
There were a few other things i tried but i cant really remember what i did because
this has been a problem for a while now. Some of the pages i looked over for
information were:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/android-hacks-help/26658-assert-failed-write_raw_image-tmp-boot-img.html

And this is the one im on at the moment, im currently downloading a stock rom from sammobile to try flash.

Finished downloading the stock rom, tried to install with philz recovery and got this:
Installing: /storage/sdcard1/I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip

And thats it, no kind of specific error codes or anything.

really stuck on this one.​

Can anybody at all shed some light on my situation,
or at least a place for me to start learning myself...
Hi.
If you downloaded the stock ROM from sammy mobile are these not meant to be installed via Odin?
There are a few post if you search for some of the pre rooted stock ROMs that you can flash with odin.
I would start from there.

The roms i downloaded from samsmobile were in .zip files, which im pretty
sure has to be flashed with one of the custom recoveries.
Thanks though
at first seems you tried to flash rom designed for i9300
then, you downloaded an ODIN image and you have to flash it by ODIN, no way you'd flash it over any recovery
to be more specific:
unzip the file I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip you downloaded, you should get a huge file with extension of .md5 or .tar
read in the forums how to use ODIN to flash firmware

Yes ive just done this now and flashed the stock rom with odin
and i think everything has gone well (im not sure as my screen is
water damaged but i did here boot audio only once) so im
letting my phone sit in a bag of rice in pieces for the night
and am going to check things out tommorrow.
