[Q] KitKat fails to install - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi. I am supporting my friend. Who has the i9305, via teamviewer so i am using the Universal android toolkit, and it worked ok.
I rooted it, and installed twrp 2.6.3.0 but here i failed. I could not install kitkat or anything else. So i had to revert to cm 10.1.3 and the camera does not work also the android keyboard from gapps 20130812 did fail to work. I had to push him a swiftkey apk, to work.
Now is my question what do i have to do to install cm 11 for i9305 ???
Just a new recovery?
Because every newer file just gets aborted and doesnt install, no liquid smooth or cm11.
Thanks.

My device was on 4.3 and I flashed Philz touch recovery and did a backup and restore. Then it stuck at Samsung logo when booting.
Wiping caches, resettings, fixing permissions, ...... non of them worked.
Finally I could get it booting by flashing 4.4.4 Stock Rom using Odin 3.07

Its working PERFECT now
also rooted using this guide

(In this time I did not used any recovery mentioned in the post. I just rooted it)

[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?

Try to fully wipe also format your /system in cwm recovery 6.0.0.8 and then try installing again and reboot it should work man!
Works now! Thanks!

Set metadata recursive problem

Hello
I'm trying to flash PacROM 4.4 and I'm encountering a problem with "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed".
As I searched its because of old recovery tools, but I'm already uusing CWM 4.4.1 and I cannot find out what to do.
The way I tried to flash ROM :
1. Flash stock .254 ROM
2. Install TowelRoot and CWM
3. Flash with CWM 4.4.1 and this is where error come up (kernel 207 works)
Thank you for help
edit: I managed to install VANIR ROM, and later with the same method I managed to install PAC ROM too. I used CWR not Philz.
Your problem was most likely related to your recovery, which was probably outdated.
CM based ROMs sometimes have issues with older versions of CWM.
The reason why it worked after installing Vanir is probably because of Vanir's kernel which includes a more recent version of CWM.
Anyway, glad you got it working.

4.4+ Boot problem

I give up ;/ I cannot install any samsung rom above 4.3. When I do, my phone stucks on samsung logo and just refuse to turn on (its not a bootloop - it doesnt restart)
I have xxbmb4 bootloader, I have installed this rom and Hbo Kernel. What else can I do?
p.s. I can install any AOSP rom and it works just fine. And yes I do full wipe every time
No need to give up
I had the same problem yesterday.
My device was on 4.3 and I flashed Philz touch recovery and did a backup without a problem. But when i restored a backup and rebooted it was stuck at the Samsung logo. After trying so many things all day (wiping, cleaning caches, trying to root, reflashig recovery, .... ) following was worked.
flashed 4.4.4 STOCK-Official rom using Odin v3.07. then it booted SUCCESSFULLY.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
then rooted it using the following guide (did not use any recovery. Only rooted it using CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5. and installed SuperSU version 2.02 provided in the post.

but then I will have new bootloader with this KNOX sh1t right ? ;/

[SOLVED] How to install Cyanogen 11 (KitKat 4.4) on my LG P880?

Hey guys. I finally got my P880 working again.
I had it on Stock 4.1.2 which I really don't like. I want to upgrade it to KitKat 4.4 (Cyanogen 11)
However whenever I try and flash the 'cm-11-20141224-NIGHTLY-p880.zip' with 'TWRP 2.8.3.0' I get:
E:Error: executing updater binary in zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is apparently due to something to do with how permissions or something were changed in 4.4 and that TWRP (for our P880) doesn't apparently work for flashing KitKat.
I don't understand this as other people have complained that CWM doesn't work for flashing KitKat 4.4 but the latest TWRP does work.
Any ideas?
Currently I have the P880 now without ANY firmware installed :/ and I will no longer have access to a computer after tomorrow for about a month
I had the P880 working with Stock 4.1.2 like I said, but it's pretty bland vs. KitKat 4.4 which my S5 is rocking.
So...
Is there an easy way to get Cyanogen 11 KitKat 4.4 working on my P880? I've been trying to get this done for days after flashing PhilZ Recovery that bricked my phone (even though it was for my Model (P880)).
I just got TWRP 2.8.3.0 installed on my phone and it seems to be the ONLY recovery that actually works. CWM 6.0.4.5 doesn't work on my phone. It installs fine, but whenever I try and press something, or select an option like (Install .zip) nothing works. Absolutely nothing works. Because I have no firmware installed now, I'm also at a bit of a loss as to risk installing a different Recovery in case it also has this problem. As both PhilZ and CWM have not remotely worked and I have been unable to perform any action what-so-ever with either of them. Only TWRP seems to work.
Please help me get Cyanogen 11 on my phone
EDIT:
I flashed SlimKat 4.4 instead of Cyanogen 11. I've never really liked Cyanogen anyway and I loved SlimBean on my S4.
Downloaded and flashed the 24th December UNOFFICIAL build and it worked perfectly.
However I got a little issue with /storage and /data not mounting properly so I had to flash again by wiping /data (using the 'yes' wipe, not standard factory wipe). I think I had this problem because the phone was mounted to my laptop when I did the .zip install from TWRP.

Samsung i9305 stuck at boot logo

Comming from stock ROM every new ROM I'm trying to flash just hangs on a boot logo (animation) of CM for example. Phone was wiped fully several times using TWRP and Cyanogenmod Recovery (/system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache).
Any help, please?
what version of twrp are you using? i've had the same issue with twrp 2.8.7.0. It seems to be buggy.
Try another version. 2.8.5.0 works fine for me.
// you might need to / want to / have to restore your phone to stock rom AND recovery first.
Agree with the possibility of TWRP problem.There is a version 3 out now which might work but 2.8.5 is definitely OK. Philz recovery should also work.Make sure these are the correct versions for phone.HTH.
Flash recovery via Odin. Firstly make sure you are using recovery made for our phone. To be honest, I prefer TWRP, and I am using 2.8.5 as I remember. Also, which roms you tried ? I had CM 12.1 and CM 13, and they worked totally fine, but I just loved more stock 4.4.4 so I downgraded.
