Can't flash Maclaw's all kind of ROM - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I could not flash any of Maclaw's rom that is directly downloaded on maclaw's website. I don't know why. I'm using PX Recovery 4.0. What should I do? I want to use Maclaw's AOSP ICS. Kindly help me please.

try flashing official cwm 5.0.2.6 or latest
first revert to stock rom format your sd card in phone then flash the cwm and then try flashing any maclaw rom
you can search for zip file of cwm or go here and flash it via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465599
HIT THANKS COS YOU WONT DIE

i tried flashing his rom using cwm recovery. and it said the installation is bad or something. installation aborted.

As it says installation is bad then the zip file may not be fully downloaded OR it may be corrupted. The other roms r working right?

Maclaw's site no more supports resume on downloads & there's a high probability that the file you downloaded is corrupted. Try downloading the file again.

Your sdcard might be corrupted too, so test the advice of fellow and if it doesn't work format your sdcard in FAT32 format using your pc or your phone and then try to flash the rom again

Few times ago, I got the same problem and I think I solved it with an update of ClockWork Recovery Mod
I downloaded rom manager from app store and hit the "flash clockworkmod recovery" . Then there came a list with phone models, but the gt-i9001 wasnt included, so i chose gt-i9000, i hope that wont be a problem. Next i went into recovery mode, there i saw i was using feamod 1.4 based on cmw 5.5.0.4. After little bit of googling i found that this is the latest cmw vesion... So i backuped my current rom (BlazR ultimate). Wiped everything, format system, chose zip from sdcard and tried the kang version of cm9. Also tried the cm9 normal build4 and tge paranoidandroid but all failed. Just for trying i tried to flash the blazR Rom again, wich has firmware 2.3.6, but this went perfect. So how can it be that my cmw only flashes non-ics roms?

Nevermind. Allready solved. The feamod cmw recoverys dont support ics.. soort i flashed team win recovery

[Q] why is cwm recovery not working?

I have installed cwm on my friends phone (galaxy mini) via odin. When i booted into recovery it said he couldn't mount /cache/recovery. So i installed root explorer on his phone and i saw there are no files in that folder! In my phone there is a file... so i was wondering if someone has installed cwm (i believe it was 5.2.7) and knows how to solve this. Maybe i could try using this file of someone else with same recovery.
Long story short: does anybody know a solution or does anybody wants to upload this file?
Sorry for bad english if i made any mistakes

simple way is to download file and usb to phone, the zip file. Do Not unzip it.

stock?
Dont use CWM on stock if u dont want to flash rom
It will give problem
Well... first i had tried installed cwm using a normal .zip file. Same problem. Then was when i actually installed via odin. After that i gave up and asked for help here. So i think it isnt the fould of the recovery. So could anyone upload the file in the next location, just to try : /cache/recovery
So i can put the file inside this folder and maybe it will work again.

Dont use custom recovery on stock, if you want install custom rom, just wipe data/cache and it will mount system, data
So i shouldn't use cwm to install rom? Indeed, installing a new rom is the goal

never flashed single file via odin before. i think i just need to deselect one package. but what kind of thing is it.. boot, phone, pda, csc or efs?
or do i need to select one package and just chose a .ops file i use on an other recovery?

don't worry error in mounting cache is normal, you can use it safely for installing and wiping
However also in the my stock recovery give a error in the cache partition but to me give the error of unmounting, says unmount(/cache); attempt 1 unknow error=0 rc=0, and later i must and will inform about this error.

Upgrade/flash from sd

Hi, my friend at work has an Ace and he's very disappointed with its performance ....so I suggested a custom ROM as I've flashed my phones for years ! He can't be without his phone so I was going to flash it from the SD card at work for him.
Can I do it all from SD , flash CWM etc ..!? Can the whole upgrade be done without a PC !? As I've only ever flashed with Odin ...
Thanks for and help in advance !!!

Flash cwm recovery for ace through stock recovery.
If you're keeping the stock rom make sure to root it first, since flashing the root zip from cwm recovery might not always work.
Thread moved to Q & A section, kindly post in the relevant section next time.

Root problem Sga

Im a noob. I use Sga 2.3.3 Installed cwm5. Downloded root.zip,upd_1.zip,univerzal gb roor.zip. Went to recovery and tryed to apply update from sd card. Wont let me choose files from the sd card just say no update.zip found. so i went to “instal zip from sd card “ tryed root.zip and upd_1.zip got “erorr 7“ message. Univerzal gb root.zip had installed fine but no superuser and Rootvalidator say that devise is not rooted. So what is the next step to get the rooted Sg? Cheers

Forget what you've done. Reflash stock via odin & then flash Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.6 for SGA via stock recovery.

Got a boot loop by rom toobox

Hello i installed rom tool box pro and i saw some options to change the icons of wifi.I did a bakup too and installed the icons but unfortunately it was stored on internal memory.Then it asked reboot and when i rebooted got a boot loop.
How to fix this? Is there any way to get the backup file from my internal memory?
Thanks.
If you have access to recovery, use aroma file manager. You will have to place the aroma zip on sd or internal storage and flash via cwm. Then you will have a file manager to work with

So why don't you just do that what you asked for in the torrent thread? Download and install a Stock Rom. After that you have "clean" state and can start again.
Or download some of the Custom Roms here and follow the installation instructions. Same result but already on Custom with all the benefits.
