[Q][ISSUE] Installation Aborted (status 0)

Hi everyone, Im new on this forum.
Im terribly sorry for making a new thread, since the other ones are way older, I was afraid no one would be able to read it.
Im experiencing an issue while flashing a customer rom onto my phone.
Issues with Installing CM9 (ICS) Paranoid Andriod and WIUI v4 (ICS)
below a list of the phone's info/specs:
Phone: LG P990
Android Version: 2.3.4.
Basebandversion: 1035.21_20110725
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build: GRJ23
LGE version: LGP990-V20r
I have rooted my phone using SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0, my phone was rooted succesfull, after that I gained superuser access to my phone. Checked it by downloading Root Checker Basic, which was also positive.
Downloaded Rom manager with CWM v5.0.2.0, made a recovery flash having the same version. I manually rebooted my phone, followed several
tutorials doing the full wipe, clearing cache partition and wiping Dalvik Cache. After that I selected 'choose zip from interal sdcard'
As soon as I select my zip the following happens:
-- Installing /emmc/ROM/WIUI_v4_S2_2_8_10.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /emmc/ROM/WIUI_v4_S2_2_8_10.zip
(status 0)
Installation aborted.
Someone please help me =(

Are you sure the rom you're trying to flash is for the P990? The filename seems to suggest that it's for the Galaxy S2.

I have seen several vids of people using CM9 on a P990, I could give other roms a try as well, what ROM would you suggest me to try?

Yes, there are several roms based on CM9 available for the P990.
I'm using CM7 stable at the moment, so can't comment on how good any of them are. Have a look in the development forum and read the threads for the various options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
Just to reiterate, though, the rom you choose must be for the P990. Roms are not interchange between devices

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813113
You were right about the WIUI, I happend to find it on a SGS II forum, I will give the CM9 another try.

Thanks for your help ^^ i managed to succesfully install the CM9 Rom.
Im now going to explore different ROMs and see which of them I really find interesting!
Thanks again I will be posting again, if im encountering any other problems.

HOW TO ROOT coming from ICS STOCK FIRMWARE?

Hi all,
I have European Version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 Wifi only.
I at least waited for the official Stock ICS Update to finally go and root my phone now. My first impression is that I made my life a little bit harder now.
As is can see so far in the forum there is only the possibility to flash CWM recovery from odin and after that go root as described in suwandiapr thread here:
**NEWEST P7310 ICS FOR USA RETAIL**[STOCK ROM]GT-P7300/P7310 odin image at One Place
Now I have a few questions. Can I use this method described in the thread for my European Galaxy Tab as well?
Can I use a CWM 6.0.0.8 file to flash with odin? Or only the versions shown in the thread?
Should be possible to unpack the "recovery.img" from a flash file prepared to be flashed from recovery, right? For example the one in the TOOLKIT thread from nirogu325 that is inside the Toolkit package
[GUIDE & TOOLKIT][8.04.12] One-stop Guide for 7300/7310
Finally, is there a possibility to flash root file from stock ics recovery. Becaus only possibility if have in stock recovery is to choose option "apply update from external storage" and when I choose this option the phone will show me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" and I have no access to my data in /sdcard folder.
Thanks for your replys.

Feels like people aren't searching....
I answered similar question yesterday...
I would recommend to use the stock ICS file for Odin flash. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
for root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47
Edit, to answer your other questions.
- There is no Odin package for cwm 6.0.0.8, so you can't use that directly over stock ICS.
- you can not use stock ICS recovery to flash anything at all, no root.zip, no nothing. Reason is that it does not mount sdcard correctly
- all of this will work on p7300/7310 of any region

Sorry fred_be9300, I searched a lot before opended this thread. Maybe not good enough, but I just want to get sure that I do everything correct before bricking my device.
So, thanks for your answers, this helped me to be completly sure what I have to do.
I sucessfully flashed the CWM with ODIN and after that installed the root.zip from CWM Recovery.
It was easier than I thought before, verything worked fine for me. Now I´m happy with my rooted Stock ICS for the moment and hoping for some more cool custom roms!
Thanks a lot!

How about package from my thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
It works for me..
That a busybox and su binary fix.. You can use that package for implementing v6 supercharger from zeppelinrox..

Got it done.. Shameful how easy it was to do after the kies update.

Please help me befor i throw that tab out of my window....
i updated to ics via odin. everthing works fine but i´m not able to root it.
since yesterday i´m reading posts here. i installed CWM 5.1.2.6 and tried the files root_original, kk_root_ics, root_Gtab-8.9 and CF-Auto-Root-espressorf-espressorfxx-gtp3100 but none of them bring root access. Root checker still says no....

Have you tried a custom rom yet? Most of them have built in root.

Probably whatever was the first root package you tried, has messed things up. It may be preventing the other packages from installing properly.
It might work to run an unroot package to clean up; not tested that myself.
I vouch for the success of installing ICS + CWM5.1.2.6 + kk_root_ics. Try it clean, if nothing else works.

Thanks @ upconvert & fred_be9300
after a wipe i used v2 from here and it works very well!

Right back atcha
Thanks for my first "thanks!" I've been desperately trying to help people so I can shake my xda noob status and participate in the dev forums. I've been into android modding for a few years, but on a different forum that was more active for my phone. It's nice when someone says thanks!

Wow you really picked up an oldie!
I would recommend you move on to a newer ics *for p7300* though. The one you are on now, was ported in August, from the initial p7500 (tab 10.1) ics release. When used on p7300, it tends to give battery miscalibration issues after one or several charge cycles. The thread you linked is full of the complaints.

At the moment i´m just glad it works but thanks for the info! Have you got a link?

There's about half a dozen roms to choose from. I can't post links, cuz I'm a noob to xda, but the 8.9 android development forum has all the threads. Look for the most recent version of each and browse the threads to see what people thought of them.

Baaaam, here is one more "thanks" for you"! :good:

[Q] Any good JB rom for Telstra (N7000B) Galaxy note please

I have a Galaxy Note from Telstra Australia. This is a N7000B (not just N7000). I've searched all the treads and couldn't find a Jelly Bean ROM that can be used, nor any mention of people successfully flashed an N7000 ROM to this Telstra phone. Please help, I'm sure there is other users with same question. Thanks all.
PS: hope this is the right place to post this in this forum.

I'm using a N7000B from Telstra too. I've tried Ultimate ROM, XXLSA/C Leaks, Paranoid Android and a few others and all have worked fine.

Thanks for that. Did it change to N7000 then. Did you use CWM or Odin.
Thanks again for reply. Sorry for all the questions new to Android
Sent from my GT-N7000B using xda premium

I've got the same phone, N7000b from Telstra. Currently running Paranoid Android 2.57.2 by Utacka and generally any N7000 non-b rom will install and run fine, though I have had some issues as the install ages. Usually a full wipe fixes any of these issues.
If you have the stock rom still installed, I'd be quite keen to get a copy off you. Is it ICS or still on GB?
I started off by following the instructions on this thread to get root. I had to downgrade the firmware using Odin, then root it as described in post #3 of that thread.
I've described the steps before - more info here

Thanks guys for your response and help. It gave me confidence and now I'm on PhilZ 3.99 kernel and Ultimate rom v 5.1. Works smoothly with no boot loop issues. might be the PhilZ 3.99 that solved it.
I found this stock rom for our Telstra N7000B and tested the md5 with odin. Worked great and reverted back to stock.

If you have problems with CWM you should check here the points 8 and 26 to 30. I have the some problem but unfortunately I have no clue how to fix it, even with those tips, but maybe it'll work for you. And if you'll find any easy way to install CWM for stock recovery <3e> please let me know, I've been struggling with it for quite some time now.
Also remember to choose right CSC when installing stock rom - you can check what your code is here.
