4- tried another cwm versions
5- tried to search for this problem and nothing fixed it
hope you guys can help me
thanks ^_^

First, you need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash CM, AOSP or AOKP roms.
The usual procedure is to extract the boot.img from the rom zip, flash it with fastboot, then use the included custom recovery to flash the rom. It should tell you which recovery to use in the installation instructions.

Bootloader (Twrp won't flash things)

Hello there, having trouble flashing roms with trwp 2.3.4 getting error 7.
So I was wondering how do I get into the bootloader or ADB mode when I only have access to twrp?
Want to flash Clockworkmod or a newer version of trwp but can't .
Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which kernel are you on ?
Just flash a stock cm10.1 kernel & reboot to recovery. Then flash whatever you want.

The note is unique as this is all built into the kernel... So flash a new kernel you get a recovery with it... Don't push anything with Adb...if you must use PC Odin

Think I'm on hydracore at the moment, that's what I tried over odin anyway.
Thing is I'm getting efs mount errors when I try and flash my previous rom (alliance v3)
Thanks though, i'll try flashing some different kernel.
Wooo, seems flashing hydracore from odin failed, manually flashing hydracore worked a charm on CWM 6 now and just flashed without any errors.
Thank you very much chaps!
(Although Rom won't boot, is there any additional steps to flashing roms with the note, don't have to do any boot.img stuff right?

Did you wipe ? Make sure you're on safe kernel.
I had the same !
When you want to flash sth, just uncheck that two thing above "slide to flash"

[Q] Made a huge mistake!!

Hi,
I just tried to root my phone through yhis tuto : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118187
I followed the instruction of the red but installed the boot.img of an s-on ROM. Now my phone stay blocked on the HTC logo and reboot for ever.
I tried to restore the stock rom i backed up just before via CWM but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can i do?

You installed the boot.img of an s-on ROM??? What ROM did you flash? Are you sure you even flashed the ROM or just the boot.img??

There is no ROM installed on your deivce or you have flashed the wrong img.file..If im not mistaken u have flashed it over and s-on device was it dev unlocked? . If u can boot into recovery try to mount the sd card via the recovery and install a stock rom and flash the boot.img (extracted from the rom) via CMD
If your device says RELOCKED in bootloader just got to htcdev web and unlock the device again
thx for quick answer
i installed the boot.img of the revolution hd rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
i just installed the boot.img of the rom. not the rom. After that i tried flash data, dalvik... and did the restore but the phone is still blocked
i tried to install an other stock rom but all the rom i found from htc are CRC rom and i don't know how to install them (the is tar.gz file).

Ok
1. Post exactly what it says in the bootloader screen. (Take a picture or just type it all out)
2. Follow through the entire guide to the bottom. You will need S-OFF for some ROMs.
3. The stuff you find in the downloads section on htcdev.com is mostly kernel sources.
4. You need to flash the ENTIRE ROM through recovery. The boot.img just contains some kernel parts while the ROM contains the apps and the framework, bootanimation etc. (you didn't actually think an android system could be compressed down to about 1mb did you ._. )

What you downloaded from htcdev.com wasn't a ROM or an RUU. It was a kernel source...
And to find a flashable ROM, go to android development section for the HTC Incredible S here on XDA. Find a ROM, and click download link in the OP of the respective ROM page.
90MB rom huh? u Kidding me eh! with the bootloader i assume all u did was flash theRUU or the rom was never downloaded completely..Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498 MIKE1986 ROM if u r looking for better battery and stable rom (mostly stocked) .

Make sure that rom is completely downloaded.
CM11 is very special. You need to flash the kernel, the bootm.img that is inside the ROM's .zip. Flash it and then flash the ROM.
Again, if you are gonna flash another ROM first flash the correct kernel, let's say DooMLoRD's kernel for stock based like eXistenZ or the boot.img from CM10.2 ...after that you can flash the proper ROM
Just CM11 needs this.

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion and re-do again what you've done
No. SUS and PC Companion only work with locked bootloader. But FlashTool supports unlocked bootloader. Try repairing with FlashTool.

Please help!

I have installed the team win recovery project on my s3 mini 18200n, and forgot to back up my stock rom. I then wiped, and flashed a zip, as said to do in the guide. When I try to flash a new rom, it states that it has failed, and that "Skipping md5 check : no md5 file found" and then states of how the zip signature failed. I am genuinely stuck, and if anyone could help me, I would be forever grateful

I tried to flash a few different roms, all which where variants of the stock, but deodexed or customised. I tried philz recovery at first, but for some reason i thought that didn't work, so I installed teamwin. Thank you so much for helping, I have been so worried!

So, is it working or not?
If yes, please flash the stock 5.0.2. Install Xperia Z dual recovery, there is a script that installs dual recovery with just one click. Just connect the device on the pc, enable developer options, enable usb debug and allow to do its thing.
When running the script select option 3, 5.0.2 without root.
After you install the recovery, you can flash any rom you want from there, just make sure to do the correct wiping before and after. happy flashing
Its working now,is there tutorial for flashing recovery

Could not find any tutorial, here is the manual though : http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-manual.html
Anyway you can follow these simple steps:
1. Flash stock 5.0.2 ftf
2. After phone boots, enable Developer Options and from there enable USB debug
3. Connect phone to PC.
4. Assuming you have Windows, Download the Recovery installation Tool here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=ef9a86aff9041bf1734fc9e3afe75f084d655774
5. Extract, hit the Installer and just follow the instructions from there.
For more info check the official thread about XZ Dual Recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
If you need help ask, but make sure you quote me so I can get a notification.
Thank you for help

I cannot see any official CM builds, if you like any Rom in the forum, please write to that thread because I'm not really sure.
If you want to experiment, you can! Because if anything goes wrong you can always use flashtool
I saw some builds on cm website,is that official?

Yes, there are official builds but those are Nightly - which means they're not ready yet for everyday use but only as test versions.
You will not have a fully functional phone because there might be many bugs in those Roms.
Here is a Rom I personally use and find very nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-official-sony-lollipop-5-1-1-t3196237
