I was trying to install a 4.4 Rom I tried CM, Carbon, Slim, and a couple of others that are 4.4 and they all fail saying ,"Installation fails with set_metdata_recursive: some changes failed."
I can install CM 10.1.3 perfectly but thats it. I am using CWM. I just got this phone yesterday and this is my first android so please be patient if I don't understand something fully.
Found something interesting that I will try when I get home.

Ok well after long research I figured it out. My CWM was outdated. Once I updated it everything worked perfect. I found a zip and flashed the update within CWM then I installed the custom rom with no problem at all
This was a great learning experience to say the least. Very frustrating at first but I feel like I am getting a lot more familiar with android now. Thank you to this forum for all the great information even if I didn't get any response. The searching took awhile. Had to read many threads and posts before I could come up with a solution.

Hi,
I have flashed gapps from Rom Manager along with the CM7 RC2 and on first start it asked me which apps I wanted to install, I made my choices but then I got several errors saying "file not found" seemed like the error was coming from the market. So I started looking around and downloaded the gapps manually from CM Wiki (Latest version) flashed it manually........but nothing happens, nothing shows up at all.
I have tried suggestions I found around like "fix permissions" nothing worked for me. I'm running out of ideas ! Any help is GREATLY appreciated !
Thanks.
I ran into that just 2 days ago. Its because of the package itself. I think. But anyways all you need to do is wipe data. Then install cm again and the gapps. Should be fine. Btw, dig through this questions and ask section, you'll find my question about similar thing like this. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, but I have already downloaded the file multiple times from different locations, and made no difference. As for wiping, I have already done that !
Im currently on a clean installation of CM7 RC2. So its not that either.....Im actually installing the individual apps manually from the market now, its just easier than finding a way around this damn issue !.
I tried to post this in the CM11 development thread, but it says I haven't posted enough, so I'm going to share it here, hopefully someone will move it.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to install the CM11 update, and encountered various errors. When I tried to go back to 4.2 ROMS, I couldn't get them loaded again either. These were fully clean and formatted installs. The errors (and I'm trying to post them as items people like me search on) include Status 7, symlink error, /sd-ext not found, and various other errors such as no error getting reported, but the blue progress thermometer never moving, then saying installation complete.
What I finally found out was when I followed the instructions in the CM11 update thread, it gave a link to the latest CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery, which I used. I finally went back and tried CWM 6.0.4.5 which worked just fine. There's nothing special nor unusual about my particular phone, and like I said, I wound up doing clean installs eventually, so this might be a fairly common problem that might be getting blamed on the ROMs.
So if someone can share this information either back in the CM11 thread or the CWM thread, it might help someone from throwing their phone through the window.
Thanks all!
Hello guys,
I have a samsung gt-i9000 with cyanogen 10.1.3 and a few days ago I had experienced some problems, the home button stopped working. I tried quite a few things, based on the info I found on this site and others (like factory reset), but no joy.
SO I thought to myself, better reflash the ROM, but to be honest, if I do that, I might as well install the latest one (10.2.1), and so I decided to do that, but before I start I have a few questions:
I had a look around but I couldn't really find a definite answer to the following questions, so I thought I might post here.
1)Has anybody encountered any issue on the gt-i9000 with the latest ROM?
2)Can I backup all my apps, upgrade the ROM and then reinstall everything from the backup, rather than downloadeing all the apps again? I have never done that before, so I am not sure if it is possible
3)I had a look at the cyanogen mode site and found the relevant info http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd, but I was wondering something: occasionally on my phone a message appears
and asks me whether I want to update the ROM to the latest available one. I have always dismissed that, but I am thinking, can I do the upgrade from there without going through the trouble of reflashing
it (following the instructions above), or is it essentially the same thing?
4)In the instructions it says "The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3.". Now, last time I have upgraded - from cyanogen 7 to 10.1 - I attempted to install directly 10 over 7 and things
went horrible wrong. I then reflashed the ROM to 2.3 and then installed cyanogen 10.1 and it was OK. DO I have to do the same thing again and install 2.3. first and then 10.2? If so where do I get 2.3 from?
Thanks
Sorry, can somebody move this under questions, just realized that this isn't the right place.

1) Didn't use CM, been on OmniROM
2) You can use Titanium Backup
3)Yeah, you could do that, update it via CMUpdater
4)Just before you install a ROM with a higher android Version, always wipe /system partition.
cool thanks!

first off this isnt my tablet and i know nothing about it. its my dads and he installed clockwork mod? and cyanogenmod on android 4.4.4 on it. Well a few years ago he stopped using it in place of another tablet. he recently rediscovered it and decided he wanted to update it but doest remember what he did.. so my question is this ( and feel free to just send links to the information and ill figure it out ) i have none of the recovery roms or anything. so what would be the best rom to install and should i search for the stock rom first and restore it to factory then find the most stable rom while still being lightweight.
Cyanogenmod 11 is probably what you're running. The instructions for that are here. I've personally been using Evervolv for a loooong time. I just use mine to read comics. You can find Evervolv info here. I just got on today to see if there's been anything new. I may try out this ROM here.
The original operating system on the Touchpad was webOS, not Android, so I'm not sure what you mean by "Stock ROM." If you've already got clockwork and CM on there, you'd be better off installing TWRP and following the instructions in the links above. It's been so long since I've done anything with mine, I can't remember steps either, lol.
