[Q] Stuck in CWM 5.0.2.6 Recovery - Flashing ROMS doesn't work

Hey,
I am trying to fix a friends optimus black. He has CWM recovery installed but when I flash ROMs then reboot system, it just boots straight back to the recovery. Is there anything I am doing wrong? I have tried 3 different ROMs from the dev section, ICS, GB and JB. I make sure to do a full wipe between flashing.
Many thanks, as I don't have much experience with this phone. (Although I have many years experience with flashing android roms)

Reflash with Smart Flash Tool. A few kernels automatically go to recovery if they fail to load. I can't think of anything else.

Try changing your CWM Recovery by flashing another version. Use my CWM Recovery flasher (in my signature).

thanks, i tried changing CWM using your flasher, but it still didnt work.
I cant use the smartflasher as all the links are broken...

Yes but the links in the guide link to the smart flasher thread where the links are broken... So I can't use the tool. Any ideas?

What do you need? Some ROMs to flash? Find links to kdz files in post 3. Extract and root it yourself (also see post 3 on my how to).

might be redundant saying this but in cwm itself have you flashed the 6.0.1.4 update within itself ald?

Also, I am on CWM 6.0.1.4 but now I get an error when I try to choose a zip from the SD card "E: Can't mount /sdcard"
Cheers for the help.
EDIT: managed to find the files... will update soon.
EDIT 2: Flashed the official firmware with smart flasher, now im in a bootloop with the "firmware update" screen, first I had a BSOD.
Im about to flash the V20a files using smart flasher. fingers crossed.
EDIT 3: Flashing worked via smart flashing tool... BUT I'M STILL STUCK IN CWM RECOVERY!
any ideas?
Thanks

Wipe data, cache, then go to advanced, wipe dalwik, go back, go to mounts&Storage, mount as mass storage device, put any ROM you want on your sd card, go back, install zip from sd card, choose zip and install the ROM you downloaded

I have just done exactly these steps. I have tried flashing both the zeus rom and AOKP jelly bean build 4. Each time the ROM flashes successfully, however when I select "reboot system now," it just boots straight back to recovery again...
The only thing I could think of trying would be to restore a nandroid with cwm. I dont have one though, can anyone link me to a working nandroid, or upload one?
thanks

A crazy idea......
Stuck G key?

could be... I havent got the phone at the moment but ill check next week. Not sure how i'd fix it though

got the phone back again... when i go into CWM "Key Test" option, it implies "button 0" is being pressed repetitively. Anyone know which button this is?

[Q] Trying To Root (Installation Aborted) Error

Im Am Trying To Root My Samsung Galaxy Ace gts5830 And Everytime i try to install the zip file provided by the forum I Keep Getting Error
E:Error In /tmp/sideload/package.zip Installation Aborted .............PLZ Help

What firmware are you running? If its ktq there's a previous step (cuz that firmwares system is full). There's a thread on that.
Other than that, which zip are you trying to flash (maybe link to post)?
How are you trying to flash it?

It Is Android Version 2.3.4......Baseband s5830dtlki4..........kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-cl568978 [email protected] #1.
Build Gingerbread.dtlki4
I Went into Recovery mode And Tried root.zip and update.zip wich i cant remember exact thread but both were of the forum
And Ive Read Lots And Cant figure it out

There's one called AceGingerRoot.zip, same stuff, go ro recovery (stock recovery, not cwm recovery) install zip from sd card. Then just update the superuser app from the market and its binary:

Thank U So Much It Worked ......

I am having the same problem, root.zip gives 'installation aborted'. I went to the link you gave for AceGingerRoot.zip and google chrome said 'malicious code and has blocked it'.

thanks for your response but I've solved it now by doing the full /root/internal memory/ flash thing, I now have jellybean running on my SGA and lots more internal memory.

It's still not working. When I swipe to install it says it failed. Then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe or back. I click reboot then it tells me superuser permissions are messed up would I like to fix them. I click yes swipe then I'm back where I started. With superuser and not supersu.

[Q] Unable to install CM - installation aborted

I was trying to install CM11. Tried installing the zip from external memory and from an SD. Tried four different versions of CM but here's the message I always get:
This package is for "m3, m3xx, i9305, GT-I9305" devices:
this is a "m0"
E: Error in /sdcard/cm-11-20140117-NIGHTLY-i9305.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Could it be that Samsung Knox has something to do with this error? Root gone wrong? I am unable to check the root status since Knox is closing superSU.
I would appreciate all the help I can get.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 4.3 official firmware

Maybe you got the wrong (outdated) Recovery. Try to flash latest Recovery (cwm vor TWRP) and that should work! :thumbup:

Have you tried using Philz?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
Make sure you click the i9305 button and check the file name before flashing it otherwise you will hardbrick your phone.

Use Phil recovery or CWM, twrp has been giving me problems since 2.6.0.0. I am currently using cwm touch, besides a few freezes (which was fixed by pulling the battery) I didnt get any errors or problems with it

So I just was trying to backup everything in recovery and it starts up fine and starts saying md5 blah blah, then fails every time. Says failed to mount data, invalid argument. ..I was doing this in preparation for flashing the new rom you ported (v3) already did a titanium backup and saved to my drive, just trying to make life easier just in case.

You need to format your data in twrp or change your syorage location to ext sd not internal
Thanks to Zach ?

is there an md5 for the zip? Think I am already to give it a try but need to make sure it downloaded correctly.

what is the md5, you should put it on first page, would help rule out problems installing.

bad idea will make the boot slower in TWRP and plus its runnning t-mobile lastest update so you should be good!

I hope you are confused. You can write the numbers of the md5 of the zip you uploaded on the first page, not adding one for twrp to check, but so that people can still use a checker before they try to install it and say you messed something up when it was just a bad download
