Help. Won't install roms from recovery - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has been trying to install official CM9 nightlies and some other roms but installation aborts. Did wiping cache partition, wiped/factory wiped and dalvik cache wiped 3 times. Did everything I knew but nothing seems to work. Been rooting and flashing roms for G1's, N1, G2X, nook colors, atrix 4g, HP TouchPad. Just sold my touch pad and just rooted this galaxy wifi 10.1.
Help please...

Mhhh , strange.
Maybe look if the zip isn't corrupted and try using clockwork recovery to flash the rom ?

I know. Very strange. I downloaded the rom files multiple times and tries flashing the redownloaded files with dame results. Also tried flashing by rom manager with same result.

Did you try flashing clockwork recovery using rom manager and then trying to flash the rol using that ?

I tried that too with same results.

You need a new version of cwm. ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4, or this one (both should work) recovery.tar.md5 (ClockworkMod)
Also, this question has been answered many times, try using the search function and check the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development forum.

Problem flashing clockworkmod recovery

Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?
Odin via pda

Read the stickies in the Development section, just so that you don't accidentally rush it and mess up.

Installing recovery issues

I tried installing cwm with rom manager and when I attempt to boot into recovery I am at the android screen with a triangle. I then used rom manager to flash rom racers cwm and I thought it was successful but I got the same screen when booting into recovery. So I used goo manager to flash TWRP. Same issue when booting into recovery. I am unlocked and rooted. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Here's an idea - stop using ROM manager!
How about you try flashing recovery using more traditional methods, like fastboot? That hardly ever fails.

I'm was just following the directions in the thread for installing cwm. The directions are dated since this is an older device. That's why I asked the question. TWRP is the recovery of choice for me on my GS II.

Did you delete (or backup) install-recovery.sh from /system/etc? If not, then that is most likely causing your problem. See the "Miscellaneous" section of this 2nd post from romracer's thread.

Do i have to do anything like wipe cache or factory reset or do i just flash the zip and it will change the cwm?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda app-developers app
Flash zip. Reboot.
Wiping cache/reset is for the rom partition. Youre modifying the recovery partition.

CWM 6.0.1.4.
Who had tried CWM 6.0.1.4? It's didn't worked for me. I had tried to flash it with zip archive from sdcard and with fastboot but result is not good. In both ways CWM not loading and hanging. I had to back to CWM 6.0.1.3. this one works great.

[Q] Help! Samsung GT I5801 boot Loop on cyanogen mod 7.

So yesterday I finally tried to install a custom ROM on my Samsung GT i5801 phone which previously ran Froyo. I didn't know much about ROMs and its my first time so i tried to use one of AOKP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548627 ) I don't know why but it wouldn't install using CWN v.5.0.2.8 and I tried to do it anyways using ODIN. It kinda flashed it but it never worked. It destroyed my stock ROM and I didn't have any backups.
Then I found a Cyanogen mod 7 ROM for GT I5801 and I installed it on my phone using CWN. It installed fine but keeps boot looping. I tried everything after that. Clearing cache, Dalvik Cache, and even tried to re-install the ROM using the wipe data/ factory reset and installing the Cyanogen zip file, but it still boot loops.
Can anyone tell me of a solution, please?
Any help is welcome.

Um, I tried finding the Galaxy 3 forum, but I couldn't. Can you please give me the link to that form?
Try wiping everything on the phone including the system, then pull out the battery, reboot in download mode, and then flash a stock Rom on your gt-5801. This should bring you back to a bootable Rom.
Now repeat the process of rooting and installing cwm/cm7

Help with flashing cutom Roms to Galaxy player 5.0 US version

Hi! I have my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 rooted and running the stock ROM and android 2.3.6. I have installed CWM recovery, and ROM manager. Now here is the issue. I have downloaded PAC ROM, CM 10.1, and CM 9. And none of them will install!! I am so confused... I try it manually with CWM and with ROM manager... Each time I wipe cache, data reset, and wipe dalvik cache if using manual CWM... So I have no idea why this shouldn't work! Please help me thank you!

Not to sure, but i think in order to go from stock to 10.1 you need to get cm9 in there first, same also assuming that you are trying the latest pac which is android 4.3. Can you list down your steps that you did in exact order? also assuming you did all the root and everything since you said you can boot into cwm.
Well here is what I have done.
1. Rooted the galaxy player with framaroot
2. Used Odin to flash a .tar file which gave me cwm
3. Downloaded all the Roms I said, two are on the SD card and 1 is on the internal storage
4. Installed Rom Manager
5. Have tried using ROM manager and just manually using CWM recovery to install each of the Roms.
6. ROM manager says the files don't exist(which they do)
7. Cwm recovery says an error occurred and its like "error or section 7" something like that... Why is this happening? It sounds like I'm doing everything right....

This post talks about recovering from being bricked but can be applied to getting a custom rom into you sgp5 in general. note the download link for Galaxy player bootloaders already contains odin the pit file and the tar file. this is however only to get it to cwm and install a rom you already have on sd card or internal memory. You would start on step 4 since your not bricked, past step 4 is just getting it into cwm to load roms.

your using cwm and choosing install zip and selecting the zip in its directory
Geez... OK, I can't be certain but I don't think ROM manager works for gp5. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery such as entropy's daily driver. From there you can flash directly to cm10.1 or cm10.2 you just need to wipe everything first(including system)...
