I had a nightmare getting CWM 4.0.0.9 onto my ace, however I flashed coderom with Odin which gave me CWM.
Now I cant get Cyanogen mod to install using CWM, I have tried reflashing my phone with XPB and starting afresh and also redownloaded any files I needed. When tring to flash I get the following... what on earth am I doing wrong? Is there a way to just flash this to my phone with Odin as I know this works!!

Maybe sd card problems where transfer of the zip corrupted the file? Are you sure you are on clockworkmod?
100% certain I am using clockworkmod, I have tried downloading the files a few times. Using the phone to download and also using a laptopto download and then transfering the files. its driving me nuts!
I do have another microsd card at home so may try using that

i open clockworkmod in recovery mode->install .zip from sd card->choose .zip from sd card-> click yes and then start to install but immidiatelly says "installation aborted"...what should i check????????
If you reboot does your phone still boot back in to the existing rom? If so I would would start again and re-do CF-root. not sure if you followed this guide but here is a link anyway - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

i've tried villainrom and cognition....currently i'm running on lightinrom but that was flashed through odin....:/
it boots normally back to lightinrom...when i flash the cf root kernel thorough odin it would not boot rather than stay on the samsung galaxy s logo...it's drivin me nuts...don't know what to try.....
have you tried downloading a different rom and tried that?
As sicopat said, it may be worth downloading again and trying that.
What rom you trying to flash?
i've tried sensation rom, villainrom and cognition rom...all do the same...when i press ok to install the rom cwm reads data, says update installation and then immidiatelly installation aborted....someone experienced gs2 user please help....
I would try going back to stock and start from scratch dude. I'm not overly experienced as I've only had my SGS2 a week, but I followed all the guides and didnt get any issues. Seems like its a problem with CWM if its not letting you do anyy roms at all?
You are getting the orange CWM 4.0.0.2 screen right?
Also I would try posting in the Q & A section.

It sounds like you are using the Rom Manager from the Market when you should be using the CWM app.
If you don't have the CWM app and you are using a kernel that has CWM, you need to boot into Recovery using Power, Volume Up and Home buttons then install your zip from the sd card.
Just use the flash update mode.
i tried both rom manager and cwm app separetly...even when i tried rom manager it would sent me to the cwm recovry........do you think it has anything to do with my pc unziping the roms the moment the're downloded????because that happend and i compressed them back to zip files.....:/

Yes of course, you should not be unzipping the files because it corrupts them. Do yourself a favour and become more familiar with flashing instructions, it will save you a lot of panic and anxiety, like what you have just been through.
I am very new to rooting and flashing and just finished rooting my phone and flashing clockwork on my phone through odin. Now I don't have an operating system on the phone and if I try to click and drag the ROM onto my SD card it says not enough room. Can I just load my ROM into odin under PDA and click go? or how do I go about getting an OS back on the phone? Do I need to do anything with the PIT in odin? Thanks
Also when I click apply sdcard:update.zip I get a message saying E:can't mount /dev/block/vold179:9
(no such file or directory)
E:can't mount SDCARD:udate.zip
Installation aborted.
You need to make room on SD card, also what is your goal? To get miui, cm7, custom Tom?

I should have enough room on the sd card, but it looks like it won't mount it.

You must 3 finger boot into recovery immediately after pushing recovery with odin, and when you are in recovery for the first time you must flash a non stock kernel then and there so that recovery doesn't get overwritten back to stock when you boot up.
Also you should be selecting install zip from sd, and then navigating to said rom and selecting install do not use update.zip.
finally what recovery are you trying to use to flash vgb? I would use otb 3x.x.x, times infinity's 3.x.x.x, or 3-30fix all, those seem to be the best recovery for flashing...just my.02
Edit if you still can't get anything to load you may need to odin back to stock first to get everything straightened back out....if you can't get your phone to boot anything I'd odin eb01 in pda and atlas 2.2pit with repartition checked (you do these both at the same time)....it may be over kill but will get your phone back to stock, and from there you shouldn't have any problems with dev blocks or install problems as long as you follow my suggestions above.

And now I cant access my phone. When I turn it on i got black screen only with clock and battery info. I can grag the drawer down to turn on/of wifi, gps... and enter management when i long hold home button.
I need to find a way to install launcher. Bluuetoth wont work because it is not paired after factory reset. Wlan is useless. I cant install anything from SD either.
I cant use odin to flash firmware because i will loose warranty. And I cant take it to service center because I didnt unroot it.
The only way I see that can help is instal launcher throug recovery mode using update.zip file. But when i try to install it it says :
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...

Installation aborted...
I put golauncher.apk in update.zip file and signed it using autosign.
Can anyone help?
It may be I am doing something wrong while creating update.zip. Can someone do it for me and upload it with any launcher within it?
Thanks alot in advance!!!
Do you have the CWM 4.0.0.9 recovery installed or can you flash the CWM 4.0.0.9 recovery?
If you can then boot into CWM - mount the USB - copy over a modded rom like Fla.sh2X or FirstUA to the SD.
Then flash that rom.
If you have the 3e recovery - then I suggest flashing a rom with Odin.
or install via adb. google for an tutorial
@Baracs I do not have any recovery, I didn't figure out how to make one...
@downloadonlyaccount Thanks, I'll do a research.

Okay, I'll try to help:
1. Get ClockworkMod 4.0.0.9 (the official one), and flash it through stock recovery. (Sorry, using my phone, can't link to the thread)
2. Install the update.zip file through CWM. Some update.zip files can only be flashed through CMW.
I really hope that helps.
Oh, and IMHO, you shouldn't have to worry about burning the warranty. It should still be valid if you can flash a stock firmware (from your appropriate region, of course).
I once took my phone to a Samsung Service Center just to check if thr warranty is already void -- with a recently flashed stock firmware from Asia -- and it isn't.

I am using ClockWorkModAce.zip downloaded from this website, I have tried to download the file again in case and that made no difference. Tried using ROM manager to apply it and that failed too. Tried it when phone was rooted and also when not rooted (after fresh Odin flash)

Please help, I want to try some of these cyanogen ROMs that I have seen posted on here. Many thanks in advance for any help

and remember never install rom manager it cause brick many ace
Thank you for your reply, however I still get the same message appearing when I try to install CWM... Not being able to find anyone else reporting this problem on the internet I am baffled. hmmmm
Wish I didn't bother paying out for the premium rom manager now, didn't realise it could brick my phone.

Dude if not able to install cwm then how about to install rom like coderom 2x or fla.sh1 or any that kind of odin flashable rom. So you can flash it through odin and it have cwm preinstalled so you can then install cynogen mod
and you tried cwm from link i gave?
Or flash first kpb then cwm
Thanks for your help I will go off and explore more into one of the ones that I can flash through Odin. Is there one that you would recommend to assist me on my way to cyanogen mod?
Yeah tried the CWM in your link, do I stand a better chance for using CWM if I flash kpb first?
Thanks given for your assistance

Cwm not installed may cause you done some thing wrong with kph
so.flash first new firmware whether kpb ,ddkq5 or any other
so you can able to install cwm
I will give your advice a go and post back with the results, you sir are a gentleman... thank you
well I managed to flash with Coderom.v2x with Odin, have tried with a couple of different cyanogen ROMs but neither worked. Still got the same errors as above.
I cant be that unlucky that anything I try doesnt work... I must be doing something wrong but I dont know what!!
Well I certainly don't understand how you are flashing from a directory "sideload package". I forgot about the stock recovery menu, is there a choose zip to install function?
I get exactly the same error, but not when I flash my phone, but when I try to root it.
I flashed it with no problem (S5830LUBKP7), but when I try to root it with either up_1.zip or AceGingerRoot.zip, I get the error

I haven't been able to finda solution for this problem, I would appreciate any help please...
Hope someone can help me with this.
I totally formatted my phone including the internal sd card because I wanted to start fresh.
Now, when I flash a rom I get the yingyang logo blinking and nothing happens.
I downloaded an official firmware and flashed it in odin, and that worked.
So I decided to flash the custom rom I've used for a long time, but the minute i reboot the phone after flashing, the same thing happens.
And now, when I try to reflash the stock rom, i get a MD5 error in odin. Even though its the same firmware that worked earlier.
My phone is useless now, and I cant seem to get it up an running.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?
EDIT:
Tried to reflash the custom rom with stock kernel and when the i9300 logo appears it hangs for a little while, then I'm back into CWM with the following message:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Here :
Download a good copy of the stock rom from sammobile.com
Flash it in Odin
Go to recovery and wipe data+cache
Start your rom
Flash CF-Root or however you want to re-root + CWM
Flash your custom rom
Wipe in recovery
Should do the trick + fix the log error.

Thanks for the quick reply
But the problem is that I cannot flash the stock rom in odin because of a md5 error, which is weird since its the same file I used earlier today.
Luckily I had another ROM on my ext sd. tried to flash that now and that worked, so must have been something wrong with the other rom.
But what to about the stock rom issue?

The file was corrupted/changed in some way so the MD5 doesn't match anymore.
MD5 sums are often used to compare files to see whether it's the same exact file. If that happens just redownload it, bigger downloads = higher chance of corrupting. I recommend SamMobile for all Samsung related stock FW.
P.S Renaming the file changes it's MD5. I know right?

I did use SamMobile for downloading. The only thing I did afterwards, was moving it from my desktop to another file location.
Then the md5 error came up, so I downloaded the same file again, but this time I tried to flash it from the download location, but the same error
But now my CM10 rom work, so at least my phone is up and running again. Won't bother for now about the stock rom.
Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it
