Error while flashing Rom with CWM

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.

Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

I've looked everywhere and everywhere for a ICS or GB rom to flash onto the phone using Odin but all of them are for use with CWM, which doesn't work

WHAT !?!?!?!?! theres a whole thread dedicated to stock ODIN ROMs lol !!

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8
Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !

Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?

Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol

you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

I'm successfully on a N7000 Rom, it unrooted my phone is there a way to root it again?

flash the CWM.zip in recovery and then the SU package
or flash a rooted kernel such as speedmod

New to Rom's

Hi, this might be asked a hunded times before, but i'm new to ROMs and looking for some feedback.
What are the steps for using a Custom ROM? Is it at all recommended for someone that haven't rooted his phone to go down that path already or should i stick with more basic stuff for now?
Is there any step by step good guide to start? I've been trying to root my phone using odin, but it's failing, will need to research a bit more.
Thank you

you need rooted device to install custom rom, because they use CWM recovery wish needs device to be rooted
rooting your phone is as easy as saying it , dont worry.
the easiest way is to flash jw4 gingerbread(2.3.6),and flash cf-root afterwards CF-ROOT , flash the version compatible with jw4 it is down there in the first page. read thoroughly before flashing.
any other question, feel free to post here i will help if i can.

I'm trying to install now following this instructions for this custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738
Basically i rooted with the jvu, then the CT-ROOT kernel, and now i'm stuck at installing the ROM, it brings a .zip which i tried to copy to the internal memory. There's a signed and an unsigned version of the zip, the signed gives "signature validation error", the unsigned gives "no space on the device error"

You need to flash CM9 first before flashing anything based on CM9/CM10 or any ICS/Jelly Bean ROM in general. First flashing will give you a bootloop, don't worry and flash again!

my atrix is left in a boot loop with any rom from JB

hey guys my atrix hd stays in a loop in the bootanimation when I try to mount any rom from JB, I only work one ICS based roms, that problem will have, which peudo do to enjoy a superior version.
my atrix initially came with version 4.1.1 of at & t but I did release the bootloader and downgrade the Motorola Atrix HD Utility tool, JB to ICS 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC from there or I could not upload any cooked rom Basda in JB with rom manager

You are sure you unlocked the bootloader? Are you using a custom recovery like cwm?

of course, the bootloader is unlocked, I had already installed before holoblur rom but after a day they reset the phone and it was not the bootanimation so due back to Atrix HD Utility tool to version and from there ICS from any version JB I work, apartede that the proximity sensor and the lighting stopped working

I have already used rsd lite to flash the stock version:
-->Mexican (MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX.xml)
--->at&t (MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml)
but at the end of the process is also a loop at bootanimation. so with the MhyTools,
The only tool has worked for me is the Motorola_Atrix_HD_Utility which leaves me the device in the ICS version of at&t (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml) is functional except for proximity sensors and lighting.

anything, download the update via OTA, but when the installation is restarted on M logo, as if the install with rsd lite and mhytools com. not pass the M stays in a loop and restarts.
rsd lite but could mount the ICS rom version of at & t (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml) which starts and runs if I do not understand well because I can not install or upgrade JB stock or cooked rom

someone with a possible solution?, I flash a rom from JB or kikat
either stock or cooked

Can you install a different recovery, CWM or Phils and try a factory reset, then install new rom from recovery.
When doing rsd lite do you edit the xml, it may cause some issue.

I know the solution, but I can't explain why:
First, you need to flash the full MEXICAN RETAIL FIRMWARE, then, just flash the custom recovery of your preference, flash any JB ROM, and thats all...
The Mexican Retail firmware has some kind of boot or something, I don't know exactly which files are, that are the same as the RAZR HD, which all the ATRIX HD ROMs are based of... just try it.
I attached the custom XML file for the mexican firmware, replace that and after the flashing, install your custom recovery and try a ROM, you can reboot safelly and without problems, I know there a short solution, you don't have to flash the entire firmware, but I don't know which files are the essential ones... See ya

Rooted with motochopper and cannot do firmware update

I've tried uninstalling superuser and all it has. I've tried like 5 times now the install for the new firmware update won't install i keep getting a android with the red exclamation sign and its front door open, then it boots in to android and says update failed. Help please!

Do I have to factory restore first or somthing? i really dont wanna have to cause i just got this phone from at&t as a referb for my old one that had battery issues and its not fun setting everything up over again lol

Hi buddy.
First of all, I don't entirely understand what are you trying to do. What to you mean with "firmware update"? Do you want to flash a new ROM?

Sadly no, my friend. Any reason in particular about why you want this specific update?
Let's hope somebody else in this forum can help you.

Are you running a stock recovery? Have you tried using Myth Tools to flash back to stock?

Its running stock rom from factory everything is factory right now

I kept getting the dead Android as well. We're you running a KK ROM on your phone before restoring to stock? I was running Validus and tried to use Myth Tools to flash a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM which also failed to take the update. I then installed a 4.1.2 Bell stock ROM (my phone came from Bell) via Myth, let the phone boot, and then flashed a stock ATT ROM via Myth and it took the update.

I am on 4.1.1 from the factory. This is a referb phone from the factory like not even a week old yet. Boot loader isn't even unlocked. Its all stock and I'm getting dead android.

If you're getting the dead Android, it makes me believe that something may be wrong with the stock recovery. Some people were able to get the update to install using the latest Philz Touch recovery rather than stock recovery.

HELP needed (can't flash stock rom)

Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920G I need some help here. After a long time using custom roms, recently I've tried to flash a stock rom to my device (it was an Indian nougat rom from sammobile) and I got an error on Odin when flashing system. After that I lost my recovery (TWRP) an my Note 5 went only in download mode. Then a I flashed TWRP again and installed a custom rom again. Now I'm trying to flash any stock rom and I am getting random errors like "device 1 binary 0". I've tried many different roms and 0 luck. Someone could help me here? I never have this problem before and I just don't know more what to do.

Peace..
I'm having the same exact problem--I found firmware that only flashed to radio--then abruptly stopped--wiping my system, so i'm stuck in download mode, phone will not power off. Instead of flashing Nougat ROM, i opted to flash "stock" MM firmware (6.01) and let phone update to Nougat on its on---then re-root it. As of now I have a paper-weight and it appears there's no support for 920G

Have you all tried Smart Switch?

Paper-weight? That's bad... Can't you flash a custom recovery on Odin and install a custom rom? I still can do that.

It's because you flashed Nougat and that's Android 7.0 and it now thinks you're trying to "downgrade", which is pretty much blocked by trying to use "stock" roms.. The only thing you could probably do is find the stock rom you're interested in flashing but make sure it can be flashed via TWRP.. I don't think you can use Odin now to flash backwards "downgrade" to another stock rom after flashing Nougat 7.0..

Well I figured out you can downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow but that's only to a specific firmware version. Depending upon what bootloader has been flashed (meaning if you flashed Nougat bootloader you can only go back to Marshmallow with the same bootloader level).. But this is only working (surprisingly) on the locked bootloaders of Verizon and AT&T.. The other S6 Edge Plus I have with an unlocked bootloader and tripped knox that I recently acquired will not accept nothing stock which is unusual, but I'm still working on that one.
