Go in recovery, wipe data and cache, then go to "mounts and storage" and format /preload. If it fail to format it, then unmount /preload and try to format it again and flash cm11.
Did you try this?

Go To Download Mode,
Flash Your Mobile Back To 4.1.2 make sure you repartition )
Root it , & then install CWM,
Format system, cache, data, dalvik
Go to advanced format, & then format everything except SD card & USB Storage.
& then install ROM )
It would defo work, sometimes your data remains in your mobile, which makes error )
If need any other help,

Md5 mismatch mean that the file is corrupted. Search on google for " md5 checker" and check the cm12 size and compare it to original md5. Then try to flash it again (repeating the correct flashing procedure, wrote in cm12 thread) , or if you want to go to stock jb 4.1.2 use ODIN program to do that, there are guides in general section of our phone forum, i don't have much time to write it or to search it and share it, but you can find it for sure.

Hi there,
Are you still able to go CWM? if you are still able to, make a Nandroid backup, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition and reboot recovery and system and check if your phone's able to bypass the Samsung log after. Give it a time as well to wait.. perhaps 10 mins or so.
By the way I'm just curious, what did you do to make your phone stuck to it's samsung logo in the first place?
still same prob
Thanks for the quick reply yes im still able to go to cwm 1. wiped dalvik 2. wiped cache partition 3. rebooted recovery and system
still phone's unable to bypass the Samsung logo

Try installing the main rom you had without doing "wipe data/factory reset", but with dalvik cache and cache wipe.
ok, I am not pro enought to figure out what's happening in zip.
Id recommend factory reset on safe kernel, or reflashing rom, then reflash safe kernel.
Considering I have no clue on zip, a clean install might be called for. On safe kernel and safe kernel recovery a format system/data might be needed to fully clean this stuff out. But I am not sure about that.
Why do you need call recording anyway?
edit: all at own risk ofc

Backup your sdcard's data to your PC using a USB adapter then FORMAT it in FAT32 format finally DOWNLOAD again the rom.
I think your sdcard might be corrupted or the rom file you downloaded might not be downloaded correctly so the file is corrupted too.
Try it and report

Thanks. I'll report soon.
After doing the 3 usual wipes in CWM recovery
Go to Mount and storage and see if there is anything mounted like cache or sd-ext (if yes, unmount it then try flashing the ROM)
If that doesn't work try a different ROM.
Additionally, reflash CWM5 and restore your old Nandroid Backup
Report back.
Good luck...

[Q] Installing CM9 on X8 (require guide)

Hello and sorry if I asked this on the wrong section.I just made this account hours ago.
Anyway...
I have successfully installed MiniCM9 but unfortunately I have "No Service" problem.
I searched through the web and find out that it might be sim lock or something.
I used "msm7227_semc" to unlock my bootloader so that probably the problem.
So I reset my phone with Sony PC Companion.
I want to reinstall CM9 but It might happen again.
So can someone please guide me through the installation and give me link for file I need because I have no idea if I'm using the right file.
Thank you.

I believe it's on the 1st post of the rom and kernel (the steps).
Here's the short version:
1. Go to recovery
2. Full wipe, cache, etc
3. Flash correct kernel
4. Format system cache data
5. Flash rom
Why ics though?

P880 won't boot after 442 flashing

Hi guys,
Need your assistance in this. I downloaded the 4.4.2, the Gapps (stock version), and the CWM Touch 6044. Flashed successfully the 6044. Rebooted, and flashed omni 442 and then the gapps. Did a wipe data/factory reset. Then pressed reboot device. The phone will restart and stay stuck at the Omni Logo. No progress from there at all. Did a few other reboots and different combinations to the above but to no result. Stuck there. Finally, did a restore from my backup just to have a phone again..Any idea what I did wrong from the start?
How long did you wait at the first bootup? It took quite long for me, so I'd suggest waiting up to 20 minutes before turning off the phone. Try flashing with the most lightweight Gapps package, that's what everyone seems to be using. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Well, did the Dalvik cache but later on, when I was experimenting. I had waited at least 16/18 minutes till my patience ran out...
Decided to have one more go right now. 1. Did a wipe data / factory reset. 2. After that, wiped Dalvik cache. 3. Presently installing Omni and then will install gapps. 4. Will reboot and leave it to boot until I leave work. (couple of hours from now). And will see what happens.
- Forgot to add thaty in all instances, I selected YES in the "root" question in the end. -
Thanks for replying!
---Update
Nothing changed. Stuck at the Omni logo for about 50 minutes..

So don't flash gapps and ROM back to back. Flash ROM then reboot and after waiting 5 mins reboot and flash gapps again.

Maybe format /system in addition to the factory reset (it's under mounts and storage). So you get a completely clean install

Thanks for your advice guys - Unfortunately I don't see any results
I booted in recovery and in this order: Wiped data / did factory reset - then wiped Dalvik - then did format /system - then flashed successfully Omnirom and at the end select YES in the "root" question. Did not touch the Gapps.
Same result - has been in the Omni Logo for more than half an hour.
Can someone tell me the absolute prerequisites needed to install and boot normally? Apart from CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 that is?
Thanks in advance
I really don't see any more required steps to install OmniRom. Did you try another downloaded OmniRom? Maybe something is wrong with your used version.

all I did under mount & storage is the "format /system". Did not mount anything any other time. Is this part of the procedure too or are we shooting blind here? - Cause directions in the post say flash rom, flash apps, wipe data & reboot, let alone the 15 other combos I've done.
Haven't tried anything yet cause I need to re-download the ROM and presently I can't get any of my 3 PCs "see" the LG's contents like a flash drive. Can only do it in my work's laptop. Beats me why..
If you don't have important data, format internal storage too. No idea for 4.4, but if you flash kdz, this is a must.

It is important to mount everything as far as I know. In my old device's forum it always a step that is specified, I never see it in these forums though.
Try it, you don't loose anything.
