Did you use the same zip file? Try to copy your zip file to your computer, then extract it, if it's error while extracting, then your problem is corrupted file. Try to flash other zip file, like theme, or etc, just to make sure your problem is your corrupted zip file.

Its not the kernel, it was old versions of recovery that did that. If you are on the latest dual recovery OR DooMKerneL there will be no issues with mount.

Try to use CWM recovery from CoCore Kernel and see if you can flash custom ROM's.
But make a backup in CWM of your stock ROM, because that one from TWRP don't work in CWM.

Redownload the ROM. Zip is corrupted, or you renamed the folder zip and name contain spaces.
Try first with redownload. I'm almost sure for corrupted zip.

Make sure what version you flash. If your phone is I9070P you must download EP version, and for I9070 must flash E version.

Hmm, now you have custom recovery.
Enter in recovery, and if choose backup to sdcard1., and wit until finish that operation and receive message "backup complete".
Then, if you already have downloaded ROM and GApps, make wipe cache and dalvik and do a wipe of data/factory reset (be sure you have already backed up your apps with some backup app like Titanium Backup or other), go to install zip, choose zip from external card and proceed to flash, first ROM after that GApps.
Hello,
I just need to ask that Im on rooted 681. I just need to update my dualrecovery. Is It ok that I use the flashable zip and put it on the sdcard and flash it there. I dont know what to do with the old dualrecovery. Will it be updated if I just flash the newest dualrecovery which is flashable zip.
Thanks
The old one will be UPDATED to the new one. Just flash it in recovery

Yes, just flash it....It makes no difference where you put the update.zip, you can also delete it afterwards...it installs the files to the correct places

Hi,
I'm trying to get AOSPA4+ (paranoid android 4.2) on my Sony Xperia Z1 (c6903).
I followed this guide:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714333
But when I tried to format my system to factory through TWRP, it gave some mounting errors.
Code:
Formatting cache using make_ext4fs function.
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount internal storage.
I already tried going to mounting option manually through TWRP, that didn't work. However, I peeked at the file manager and it seems that '/ ' has some folders and data, but in sdcard and external_sd, nothing's there.
Suggestions to get around the formatting issue? Did it already format when I unlocked the bootloader? I'm guessing I can't format because when I flashed boot.img it removed the OS, therefore no debug mode. Or something...(idk)
I don't know if is necessary to flash just the boot.img from the zip file to get recovery and working rom, maybe this make some issues. You can try in different way, flash back a stock FTF and wipe everything (to get rid of issues), then install TWRP from PC and flash the whole .zip Rom.
omg what did i do??

I flashed 14.3.A.0.757 [NUT][UNBRANDED] and it won't boot anymore! I lost recovery! It's not hard bricked because there is still life..I hope I'm right...
HELP me! I'm so scared..how do I recover from this? My phone gets to the purple boot animation screen for about 4 seconds, freezes for 3, then bootloops.
Press and hold power and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times
then just flash a stock ftf from the mega collection thread
then start again

That's not a big problem, just flash the stock kernel from ftf.
It would be better if you flashed the whole ftf so you can start from a clean phone.

WOW it worked like a charm! Thank you so much (adding + rep for saving my phone).
All I need to do is downgrade to 4.2, get root, upgrade back, then flash paranoid android's zip through flashtool? Or TWRP and copy boot.img?
You could, but here is an easier way
flash a ftf ending 534 for your phone
instal dual recovery
flash your choice of rom
(comment deleted, disregard this post)
Being unlocked makes no difference, it just means you can flash custom kernels as well
PS
So many people unlocking their boots and not really knowing what that means..

This I'm assuming is done through TWRP? Or adb and copying boot.img?
Assuming it's done through TWRP, put gapps and Rom on /sdcard, then install ROM then gapps?

I think the OP in that rom thread is saying to install boot.img first to get Recovery, but I will try in different way, use TWRP which you probably will install from pc after you flashed stock .534 FW, when you are in recovery you are ready to go, wipe everything first then install the whole .zip files and gaps in sequnce like the OP is telling. Done, you should have the rom working on your phone.

I will try this. I did something similar to that, except I didn't format my system on recovery. This led to some error that I don't really remember, and then my whole problem came up again, no boot, boot-looping at the 3 second, w/e.
I'll try formatting first before installing, hopefully that will resolve the conflicts that I had. Thanks for your suggestion.

Wow, I must be really unlucky right now. Flashed stock .534 and tried to get root, but Root (from bin4ry v33) says my adb server is out-of date. Chose method 0. Rebooting my phone didn't work.

I remember the recovery is in the /system partition. So now you can only flash the stock FTF and start from scratch again.
