[Q] Clockworkmod problems

I am trying to install cyanogenmod 7 but rom manager just doesn't seem to be installing the flash clockworkmod recovery option, it takes a second to finish and it says "sucsessfully downloaded clockworkmod" not "succsessfully installed clockworkmod" so when i try to open recovery mode it keeps going to the defualt android recovery mode and i can't install CM7 because the install fails at verification.
I tried using an older version of the clockworkmod flash file but it says "an error occured while downloading your recovery", so i don't know what im doing wrong it could be because i am installing this on a motorola flipout which is identicle internally to the droid so i have been using that ROM but i think this is unlikley the problem.
Please help.
thanks!

Even if it's identical on the inside, there might be firmware differences that you are not noticing. Try flashing a ROM for the Flipout instead.

Can't flash any ROM via CWM (status 7 / efs not mounted)

I was on Darkys ROM for some months without any flashing problems. Now i wanted to change from Darkys ROM 10.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Galnet MIUI. I had to downgrade to Froyo and then install the CWM zip in CWM. This was NOT succesful. It always says "Installation aborted (Status 7)". Then i tried to install CyanogenMod 7.1. Upgraded to Gingerbread Stock with CWM 3 and when i first flashed it via ODIN the phone first booted in the standart Android CWM display (dont know the name sry). The phone automatically formated cache etc. but then it showed me 2 times "/efs is not mounted". I was able to boot and to open CWM but ALWAYS when i want to install ANY CWM ROM it shows me the message with Status 7 ...
EDIT: The message when i try to install a zip via CWM:
--INSTALLING: SDCARD: update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package

How can i mount /efs again and make CWM ROM Flashing able again?
Thank you.

I am not a dev, but I suggest you do a fresh ODIN flash to stock rom or this SIMPLY HONEY ( its got odin version & hence very easy to install ) rom.

I already flashed several (stock) roms... still not working

The first thing you every do before flashing a rom is a nandroid backup.... use this to recover...
I hope to hear oh thanks i didn't remember about that, lol. But i do not expect it...
Do you have any backups, of the /efs maybe? If you do then find out how to put that back on..
An option would be to use adb to try fix it, first try the obvious and try mount the ef, if that doesn't work then tell me what files you have in the efs... and we'll try help you from there.
If you don't know hoe to use adb there is a pinned thread in the general forum, and I have made a there is a basic tutorial in a number of places either search here or google

[Q] Installing AOSP Beta 8 and 9 for P7300

Hi,
I have tried to install both AOSP Beta 8 and 9 for P7300. I get the error the same error message both times, status 7 which is guess is due to that I'm using the wrong CMW file (version 5.5....). Reading the forums it seems like cmw 6.0.1.0 works pretty well. Is there a repository where I can download these CMW files? I have search but not really found any good place. What combination of AOSP version and CMW is best? Do I need to change the kernal also?
Any help is welcome!
Kind regards,
Mikael Hagström

I recomand you to install the cwm 6.0.0.8, i think it's the best and this should fix your problem.

Don't think recovery version is to blame.
Do you have the 7300 or 7310 galaxy tab?
What was the last Rom / recovery that you flashed with Odin?
IIRC status 7 is an assert failure, so you could also turn off assert verification in the recovery, before flashing... Or remove offending assert from the update script in aosp ROM zip. (probably a line like test for p5 or p7300)
Or you can flash CWM 6.0.0.8 from the thread on cm9 (kallt_kaffe) , post #2. Although file is named 6008, it really is 6010... If you insist on that route

Thanks for your replies.
I have the P7300.
I'm back on the stock ROM now since I could not get the AOSP ROM to work.
I tried removing the assert lines. The tablet hang on the X (Nexus) screen when I rebooted.
I will try both again with the new Clockwork Recovery file.

Hi,
I tried again his morning. With CWM 6.0.0.8 from the thread on cm9 and the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789464. It now installs but when I reboot is gets stuck at the black screen with the colourful Nexus X. I left it like that for 25 min but no change just the X. This is how I do it.
I start of with the stock ROM (Build number HTJ85B P7300XWKL4)
I root the device and install superuser and root check (that tells me it have been rooted)
I install CWM 6.0.0.8 from boot by running the ZIP file
I boot up into Clockwork Recovery and install the AOSP ZIP. The tablet restarts after install but gets stuck at the screen with the X.
Do I need to do a wipe?
I'm I missing some steps?

[Q] Galaxy S Plus black screen, CWMrecovery says "can't mount...

I'm a noob I know and yes I watched the noob-video. But I need help! Cuz I'm too dump! So please help me
I wanted to update my Galaxy S Plus to the newest CM 10 (Beta 4) (before it was the Beta 3) over the CWM recovery it suddenly says
"symlinks failed"
"error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130324-invendor-beta4-ariesve.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"installation aborted"
so I looked to the CWM recovery and I saw that I don't have the latest version....okay I downloaded the latest one and installed it over the CWM recovery. The same error .... with friends. Now I got when I went into the CWM recovery: (after I tried to wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I tried to restart the phone...black-screen after the samsung cyanogen mod screen.
Okay
So I tried to flash a older firmware "I9001XXKQ7_I9001DBTKP2_I9001XXKPK_HOME.tar.md5" with Odin. I restarted the phone...nope black screen. I installed the newest CWM recovery again and tried to flash again the CM 10. Black-screen. So I tried the old version of the CM which I had before (Beta 3) -> black-screen and still errors in the recovery mode.
I can still go into the download mode and the recovery mode. The charging symbol is not working when i connect it (just the battery but bot moving)
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Provider: Vodafone IT
ROM: CM 10 (Beta 3) installed but not working
Kernel: Phenom 3.2 UV (updated after the symlinks failed error)
I hope some genius out there can help me
And sorry for my bad english...I don't use it often (Italy)

take your time...
what errors does the cwm 5.5.0.4 recovery shows without doing anything?
try to additionally mount system and data partition (see under <mount and storage>)
then click on wipe data/factory reset in the main menu

Hi everybody I'm new.
My situation is exactly the same, I did the same things, got the same problems... got stuck with no solutions yet if not to send it to samsung assistance.
Flashad many other android phones in the past and never had issues like this... it's a nightmare...

try to additionally mount system and data partition (see under <mount and storage>)
then click on wipe data/factory reset in the main menu

Without doing anything the recovery says nothing....just the normal main-screen.
After I mounted system and data I click on wipe data/factory...but then it doesn't do anything. It freezes after "Formatting /data..."
I flashed the FeaMod Recovery v.1.2. based on CWM v5.0.2.7

Stock-Firmware

I already did that too but it didn't work...
I'm gonna go to the samsung assistance in the afternoon... :crying:

Well....Nothing is working...Anyone who could help me? ... Or better us..

If my guide is no use to you as its for i9000 : try this HERE
If that helps you in any way let me know.

I did this already... I flashed it with the newest stock-FW but it doesn't do anything...and the stock-recovery can't make a factory reset. It always freezes....

other things that could be worth a try:
try flashing different recoveries - not only feamod... also cwm,...
for me cwm5.5.0.4 works
look: our wiki-page -> un-brick
if all doesnt help you could try to reset all partitions

I tried already a few recoveries...like the CWM or the TeamWin... How can I reset them? Can you give me a link please? ^^

Flash BroodROM RC 5... flash this multiple times without touching any buttons like repartion etc..
After that, wipe system and data via the recovery provided in the ROM.
Then flash the newest stock FW from samsung..
This solved all my issues multiple times xD

thanks for the reply, but my phone is now finally brocked....it doesn't even start....and I don't have any idea what i can do now...

??
So, now Samsung, no Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001? No nothing. Not even the soft brick image (see wiki)

Hi,
I was finally able to flash the AVATAR rom . I messed around with installing latest google apps and which made the keyboard crashed , Now its working like charm ,
However, here is what i did.
1. I followed the guide 【Guide】How To flash ANY Captivate ROM from Stock (including ICS) to upgrade my Eclair 2.1 . Did exactly what was in the tutorial and succeed . ** Just a note- I missed to copy ROM in the SD card , which i managed to do later by mounting USB storage from CWM .
2. I went for flashing and it was always giving me the error when i tried to flash my phone with the rom CyanFox Rom
3. Then i downloaded the rom AVATAR and went for flashing , suddenly the phone rebooted ( Still it did not install the ROM) and a new version of CWM 6 appeared with Blue text . From there i flashed the new ROM and it was a success.
Currently i am running my phone without any problem .
However, I still can not flash below ROM
CyanFox Rom
omni-MACKAY_ROM-4.4.2-20131217-galaxysmtd
do you have any idea on how to make it work ?

- stop asking same questions in 2 different threads, please
- read carefully the Guide in post #2 ant try to understand the process
- read carefully installation instructions for the ROMs you want to try
- avoid installation of experimental/ported ROMs as your first Custom ROM
- be careful what partition setup is needed for the ROM you want to install
- don't change default CM kernel for CM10.2 and up

Status 0
Status 0 means that you have a wrong script (for your phone). The script in "/META-INF/com/google/android" folder. I doubt that it's the ROM's problem. I also flashed CyanFox 4.4 for Galaxy S II. But had to flash CWM 6.0.4.x first. It worked only then, it didn't even flash using CWM 6.0.3.
So I think you can also flash CWM 6.0.4.x on your cappy and try this?
