this has nothing to do with awipe
make sure that if you're on windows rename it to update in the removable disk. go to console and do:
mount sdcard
ls sdcard
should say something with update, is it update.zip.zip or update.zip

try naming the file simply update w/no .zip sometimes windows will add an ext without you putting on the on the end of the file because it is already a zipped file. I had this problem the other day

Can you try again with adb logcat as it boots please? And did you try with a data wipe?

Sure, in your sdk folder just use cmd or terminal and do "adb logcat". Then put the output in a text format and upload it here, and if you don't mind, could you please try BETA0.2?
Thanks.

Just replace modified boot.img with original one and it will flash. You won't get root, but gapps will work.

How to install OTA files?

On sammobile these days a few OTA files are available, one like this. Can anybody help how to use this .zip file. The contents of the file are,
1. debug_info (1KB)
2. delta.hidden (856KB)
3. delta.modem (1KB)
4. delta.platform (78396KB)
5. delta.Sbl (1280KB
6. delta.ua (241KB)
7. delta.zImage (4855KB)
FYI these files are not Recovery or CWM flashables.
Above file is an update of firmware to N7000DDLR8 from the previous firmware DDLR6 for indian GalaxyNote. As one can see it includes the firmware files, so be assured that it can be installed. But How???

As mentioned in OP, this file is not updated by Recovery. It returns error with both the Recovery and CWM.

you can try to rename the file to update.zip and then choose update from recovery. Dont know if this will help but its worth a try.

It gives a signature verification error not sure just renaming it to update.zip would fix it!

You should be on complete stock ROM
non rooted and on unsafe kernel then may it work, and thats is the point to be concern. This work with unsafe kernel as well update also contains unsafe kernel, so anything lead to messing your device, that will be risky to wipe anything. and in this situation you have to first flash safe kernel.
Mobile odin pro added support for flashing OTA files, but unfortunately didn't recognise OTA files which available for india. (this fuction in mobile odin is still on experiments)

Please tell me i download the bin file from the following site. how i install this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P7510&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware

using this method:
All Credits to tracid
1. Copy all files from the archive to /cache/fota/ or /data/fota if you have bigger ota
/cache folder is only 192 MB
use root explorer
2. from adb shell:
su
chmod -R 0777 /cache (optional)
echo -n "--install_fota" > /cache/recovery/command
exit
adb reboot recovery

doc.. i tried that last time with the DDLR9 update and i was stuck in boot loop.

Really I didn't tried yet, it was said by tracid somewhere.

"Installation aborted" while installing stock roms

I installed omar rom with breeze, but now every rom I threw to cwm fails to install with error "Installation aborted". I'm not sure if it's related to omar rom since I did not install any other roms before. This is part of log from clockworkmod/recovery.log:
Code:
- Installing: /sdcard/clockwormod/backup/CFC_9.8.2i-50_SMI-26S7-USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip

Notice: there can be typos in this log since i rewritten it manually from phone screen.
I tried dozen of roms from sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php , there is no way of corrupt download. My method of installing is following:
Download rom from sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php
Put it to somewhere in phone (in this example case I put it in /clockwormod/backup/)
Boot to cwm recovery
choose "install zip from sdcard"
choose "choose zip from sdcard"
and of course browsing to correct folder and choosing correct rom file

These files are zipped files witch have to be unzipped and flashed via RSD-Lite
via RazR I & Tapatalk 4

Yes that was it, thanks. Is there a way to do it in linux though? sbf_flash requires .sbf file which is not available in razr i zipped roms.

do we have to unzipped the stock rom files before flashing, can we flash the zip files. I'm worried about this, i flashed the *.sbf file for my previous phones, never flashed the *.zip

The problem with installing the rom through cwm

I have a problem I wanted to upload a rom Omni 4.4.1 but during the installation of the phone memory I have this error:
--Install: /emmc/omni.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /emmc/omni.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I type adb adb Sideload omni.zip is the same. The error occurs with every Rom. only salvation is to upload rom Xperia-Z-ized_NOTE_v1.0 by adb, this one installs. I have a kernel with CWM Philz. Sooner I used rom Xperia-Z-ized_ note but I wanted to change it.Other roms do not install by 'adb Sideload' only the Xperia.
Sorry for my english

Because you are on Philz Recovery which is for 4.1.2 Jellybean, you're not able to flash OmniROM. You need to do the steps described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531957.

Or, to quote father chas, Who had the following to say about people who do not read the OP.
chasmodo said:
Or if you don't want to do that, then:
1. grab your Note firmly with your right hand
2. go to the bathroom
3. put your Note below the water level in the toilet bowl
4. keep it there until you see no more bubbles coming out.

Or, as an alternative,
chasmodo said:
Well, there are only two things you can do as far as I can tell:
1. put your Note right in front of your right hand side wheel, shift into first gear, release the clutch, drive; shift into reverse, drive back; repeat until you can hear no more crunching sounds, or
2. learn to read and/or search

Maybe, i took his words out of context, but it is my interpretation of them that matters. You have sinned.
Now, atone for your sins, and do as father said: 2. learn to read and/or search

I have uploaded the kernel r4 for jb4.3 but still it is the same and you can not upload any rom, the same error, and this still Adb does not see the phone ....

Ánd did you reboot the recovery after uploading said kernel?

Did you try downloading the zip again? What all roms did you try to install using the r4 recovery? Did you first format /system?

Already running
All I did like the guides, but on the memory is not installed. I have uploaded the drivers manually and adb command 'adb Sideload omni.zip' I uploaded rom and gaps.
When I select install zip from sdcard0 it is still the same error.

Also, THIS
http://androidroot.org/watch_video.php?v=SRH8HS176N5N
And definitely try to re-download the files, It wouldnt suprise me if this is a bad download.

What is already running? Did you install any other rom file like cm? Why does you omni rom zip say omni.zip? Did you rename it of did something else with the zip?

I changed the file name to not write such a long ADB.
A longer roms to install, after downloading directly to the phone memory goes without a problem.
Thank you very much for your help :victory:
