[Q] Help! Trouble Flashing on sm910T - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was previously rooted running a flashed rom (firekat deodexed v7), but had to restore, when trying to update to newer version of this rom, wouldn't update. So i restored to stock 4.4 kitkat ank4 and then did the upgrade thru tmobile to lollipop. I then rooted again with cf root and flashed recovery with flashify, everything went smooth. Tried flashing new rom and it will not flash any rom. (tried beanstalk 5.0050-20150414-trltetmo, cmremix_trltetmo-5.0.2.v6.0.zi0,959, cm-12.1-2015050 and cm-12-20141220-unofficial-trltetmo, darthstalker_note4-v1 and some others. Did full wipe, cache, dalvik, etc, .
Have then restored to stock n910t-cod6 lollipop. Cf root and flashify twrp. Did backup and also restore from backup will also not work, just goes into bootloop.
Also did a full restore/wipe from settings on phone.
When flashing, keep getting error "unable to open zip file" - error flashing zip 'external_sd/beanstalk-5.0050-20150414-trltetmo.zip"
updating partition details

Try a different copy of the team win recovery.

Maybe a different version, not a different copy, but yeah that.

Are you waiting long enough at boot? It literally takes 15-20 mins to boot.
Did you try putting your zip directly on the sdcard (device memory).?

I've tried CWM also, think I should try different versions of both or any other ideas?

Verify the MD5 of the ROM you downloaded.

Try moving file to int sd card and install from new location.

Matching MD5

Custom ROM question.

I currently have a rooted SGH-T879. I have never installed a custom ROM before but I would like to install CM10.
The problems I am having are
- CMW and TWRP only have i717 (would this work)?
- I cannot boot into recovery mode. (When I do the button combo it's a black screen after the samsung logo and when I use an app to boot into recovery it soft bricks the phone.
- I am getting a installation aborted error when I tried to install it before the recovery mode stopped working.
The files I have are:
[email protected] (file name exactly as typed)
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip (file name exactly as typed)
I also have USB debugging and Unknown sources checked.
Please help, this is far more complicated than the jailbreak on ios that I was used to. Thanks
Do yoi have a custom recovery installed? If so, which one? Did you root the phone via odin?

Currently I do not have a custom recovery, I had CWM 5.0 previously but I am trying to install CWM 5.8.4.3 or TWRP 2.3.1.1 which I think are latest for my Note. Those are coming to no avail also.
CWM - the progress bar isn't moving when using the .tar file (used odin 1.85 and 3.04 and 3.07)
TWRP - odin crashes after using the .img.tar.md5 file after it verifies files.

Maybe need to uninstall odin then reinstall the latest version and reroot. May have a corrupted odin download

How to instal TWRP in rooted phone with CWM?

I'm forgetful and can't remember the procedure I used to install TWRP on my rooted Exhibit which had CWM at the time. I now need to install TWRP on my girlfriend's Exhibit, which is rooted with the stock root (no custom ROM, just rooted) and which already has CWM.
I will copy the TWRP file onto her external SD card. I will then boot into CWM recovery, and flash the TWRP zip file. After I do that, when I reboot the phone, how does the phone now which recovery I want to use? Does TWRP over-write or wipe out the CWM when you flash it? Must I make a selection for my default recovery choice?
I am a dummy and I should remember this stuff, since I already went through this on my phone.
By the way, I am installing AOIP on her phone. I have really liked it on mine, after trying Slimbean and Nexus4 and CM10 etc. Her tired old phone on the rooted stock ROM is giving her fits. So it is time for TWRP and AOIP.

Once you flash it it will overwrite cwm so it will be the only recovery. If you wanna go back to cwm just flash that over twrp.

When you flash a recovery zip it overwrites the recovery partition in your phone. You don't have to choose anything because it will stay TWRP until you flash a different recovery.

[Q] Flashing kernel through recovery problem

Hi.
After unlocking my HTC, installing recovery and a custom ROM (ARHD 13.3) I have a problem with flashing kernels through recovery. Every time when it starts, phone reboots into system, just after the flashing starts, withough flashing the kernel. Any ideas?
Anyone? :-\ tried reflashing Rom with full wipe, tried other roms, changed the recovery...always the same.

Sounds strange! What kernel are you trying to flash? Did you also make sure your download's MD5 is correct; could be a bad download.
Yes, md5 sum is correct. I'm trying to flash anything strange is that after full wipe and reflashing Rom I can flash anything before first boot. After first boot can't flash zip files, like Rom cleaner or kernel. Phone always reboots just after flashing starts.
Once I've found that someone had such problem and formating something through adb helped...but can't find this info again
I tried flashing almost every kernel available.

I think Rom Cleaner should be flashed before first boot anyway, but not the kernel. Are you clearing cache and dalvik before trying to flash?
Yes. I even clean cache through sdk :-\ yep, the Rom cleaner should be flashed before first boot, but anyway it shouldn't reboot even later as I think.

Weird
Just for the sake of trying, a couple of ideas:
1- wipe the cache from recovery (not fastboot) and also wipe dalvik, then immediately flash kernel
2- perhaps there's a permission issue with the zip(s) / folder(s)
EDIT: perhaps you need to update recovery?
I reflashed recovery, tried CWM, TWRP...same on both think about going back to stock with RUU, then trying everything again from the start:-\
First advance...tried.
Second...U mean fixing permissions? Don't know if it's related to that problem, but of course will try.

Though I don't think custom recovery would have issues with permissions (since it's su privilege), it could be the folder where your zip files are doesnt have rw permission, and the recovery attempts to access the folder, is unable to, and therefore just reboots.
Try putting the zip file in a different directory (or maybe even the root folder) and try again.
In root folder? Don't understand where exactly...tried to place it on different locations in storage.

sorry, what I meant was /sdcard
which recovery are you using? send the link
Latest TWRP. I found that I can't even change the permissions to any file on sd card. But I have root access:-\ also tried fixing permissions.

Obvious question, but the kernel is for your version of Android isn't it? You're not flashing a 4.3 kernel on to 4.2.2?
of course not I'm on android 4.2.2 and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel version
---------------------------
as for now everything's ok. Frankly speaking I didn't do anything new. reflashed recovery for the third time i believe, did the full wipe also few times, flashed arhd, rom cleaner and the kernel one by one and it works...for now
---------------------------
and no..it's still the same. After first boot, I rebooted into recevery, tried to flash different zip and what....and reboot just after flashing:/ it makes me sick...:/
Thanks to one and all. I was facing the same issue of being unable to install the Bulletproof kernel on my HTC One having ViperOne 4.2.0 custom rom and TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery.
I followed the advice here and wiped 'Dalvik cache' and 'cache' and (without rebooting) directly dirty flashed the Bulletproof kernel which did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else too.
Got the same problem. Tried with TWRP 2.6.6.3, 2.6.6.4 & actual CWM with failed tries to flash kernel,bootscreens,themes & the 360 camera fix.
Also tried to flash these recovery via fastboot and at least the m7&m7ul versions.
It happens suddenly
Btw: i'm on an tampered,unlocked hboot 1.54
Any help or ideas are much appreciated

Can't Flash New Roms in TWRP (Status 7)

I have been trying to update my Nexus 7 to a F2FS file system with LegoKernel and a compatible rom. I tried downloading the latest version of SlimKat(10), but when I try to flash it in TWRP (after a cache wipe), I get a Status 7 error after a minute or two of the flash idling. Rebooting the tablet normally after trying this just puts me in a bootloop of the SlimKat logo. I was able to successfully push a zip of OmniRom via ADB, but the install fails immediately when I try and flash it. What should I do? My tablet is temporarily bricked, so the only way I can use it is via recovery or fastboot.
Actually, it seems that EVERY time I try to push a .zip rom to my device via ADB, it fails the install immediately. What should I do?

Hey man sorry you are having issues. Its probably something simple.... Did you install the all-f2fs recovery including flash formatpartitions.zip?
Also is the slimkat you are downloading from the all-f2fs slimkat thread. Not regular slimkat?

I downloaded the modified bootloader and LegoKernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664392 , and downloaded version 3.10 (the latest version to date) of SlimKat's F2FS derivative from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678142
Okay, I was able to borrow a USB-OTG cable and try flashing a redownloaded version of the SlimKat rom, and this time, the install was successful! So, I reinstalled LegoKernel, as well, and formatted my device afterwards. Unfortunately, I am now greeted with the Google splash screen on startup.
Bump, because I'm still totally lost.
Bump again. No ideas at all?
The OP says:
"NOTE This kernel version doesn't support "All-F2FS."
Are you trying to flash an all f2fs ROM? Could be as simple as that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678140 is where you need to go if you want all f2fs.

well,as above is all I have on the phone,as I said I ran odin and that was fine (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) was put on the sd card 1st.
as for recovery I guess it was what was on phone already,just pressed power/vol/home and tried to install (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) but had the errors above
also tried cwm on sd card but that was the same when trying to install.
I appreciate you getting back to me on this.
