Kies won't work with custom Rom......in fact forget kies ever existed, it is widely recognized as an unreliable POS!
Put the Update ZIP onto your SDCARD and try the install and also check the size of the zip file
I had a similar issue, my download didn't throw an error in CWM, but when I flashed it and rebooted I was greeted with constant force closes (so much, so quickly that I couldn't finish pressing ok). Went back into CWM and did a complete wipe and flashed again. No boot. I only got my s3 on Saturday so I was scared sh**less. After a quick trip to the bathroom to calm down I figured out the zip was corrupt and restored to a CWM backup then restored a TiBp. Flashed WanamLite with the theme linked in the OP instead. I wasn't really emotionally stable enough to try flashing criskelo again...
On another note, I always check MD5's but I couldn't find any for v6.0.1 of criskelo's ROM? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I just wanna confirm that the zips were corrupt..

Use Google for your contacts in future! Then they are safe in the cloud! Only way I know is flash back to stock
flash back to stock, restore contacts using kies to your phone then either backup to google a/c or memory card
i chose the memory card option as restoring from google always gives me duplicate contacts. its the only way i think
Guess I will have to go back to the old rom and flash again. Thanks everyone for the tips.
I`ve been lazy to look into cloud stuff for like a year now =P... really stressing year... guess I can`t run from it now lolz.

What kernel are you running? Your not using the cwm from rom manager right? Using one from a kernel? You could try and shut off your signature verification setting in cwm that should let you flash it. You'll find the option under the install from sdcard option then just toggle off your signature verifications.

Like I said you could actually probably flash it with that but you just gotta shut off your signature verification option. Though people have said its not advisable. If you wanna do it the right way? Flash a kernel from development it has the correct cwm built into it.

The correct kernel you need to flash is the siyaah kernel when you do this it will automatically install the correct cwm then you should be able to flash miui no problem.

When you flashed it in odin? you flash it as a pda in download mode right? If you did then you should have the right cwm now and miui should install through cwm.

If that doesn't work then use entropys kernel found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460. It kicks ass but you cant use it with miui or cm7. but this will give you the proper cwm then install miui.
This is just f***ing ridiculous. So I tried it and when it works, when the phone boots up it shows:

It doesnt need rom manager. You boot into cwm by holding your power button and volume up and down when the phone boots up. Thats your cwm.

Hi,
I wanted to ask if mounting and unmounting system from CWM is safe. For example if I mount/unmount system and flash something and mount/unmount it back is it still safe and everything is fine?
Thanks.
It writes to system anyway, you can't have working phone without writing on system partition

I'm thinking of flashing a zip, but the developer hasn't said anything about it and the normal flashing doesn't work (gives status 0 error) and I thought maybe this way is possible but I was unsure

ATT Samsung I777
History: Updated phone to ICS 4.03 using update from Samsung. Rooted phone using Odin 3V185 to Siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-I777. Phone has been working fine other than I cannot install apps that my carrier doesn't approve.
Update: So I decided I was going to install Semi_V16c. Downloaded it to my computer then transferred to my SD card. Then I opened ROM manager that was already installed on my phone from what I did a few days ago. Once open I selected backup ROM and it asked for the file name to save backup as. Then my phone rebooted automatically and never came up again. If I remove my battery and hit the power button It will show the Samsung Galaxy SII screev and says GT-I1900 under it and the yield sign. Then when that screen goes away the screen is just black. Not sure how backing up ttriggered this but any help is appreciated. I couldn't find a recovery tutorial in the Q&A sticky.
Forgot to mention that the ICS update I put on was done with Kies
I'm going to say that it was ROM manager that did it. ROM manager does very very bad things.

I'm just confused where to start now. My phone appears to be like it was from AT&T but some of the apps I installed are still on there. The version is not ICS anymore so am I still rooted? Do I start at step 4 in the directions for installing the new rom or do I go back to step two which is rooting?

Depends on what exactly you flashed
Sent from Team Pirate!
Do a factory reset if u aren't on the stock ics kernel anymore. Then boot it up and install super user. If you can gain root access you're rooted. Another easy way to check is if you look at the rom u downloaded the name should say whether root was included or not.
Edit: u won't even be able to get into cwm if you have stock kernel installed. Which kernel is installed right now?

Please make sure you know what you are saying before you post.
@OP,
The easiest way to see if you are still rooted is to look in the app drawer. If superuser.apk is still there, then most likely you are still rooted.
If you flashed the stock one-click downloader from the return to the store thread, then you are not rooted, so root first, then install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then the firmware of your choice. From re-reading your posts, it looks like you flashed the stock plus root one-click downloader, so you should be rooted. In that case, you need to install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then the firmware of your choice.

Either your recovery is broken or you are missing a step/detail. How did you install CWM? Did you use Odin and flash a kernel or did you use Rom Manager app? Because the app doesn't work.

I used odin to flash. I had superuser I guess that means my device is rooted. then I downloaded the bsROM and other cooked ROM. I copied the bsROM zip to my sd card, CWM to recovery then wiped out all the data as instructed, then installed the ROM, everything went fine to this part then it couldnot open then aborted. tried 3,4 times with different rom: same results, aborted.
Hopefully, you wonderfully knowledgeable people can help with this one!
I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 with no problems and decided to install a Custom ROM, (Omni version 4.4.2). Followed the instructions on a page that the forum won't allow me to post a link of and got to the point of installing the new ROM. It then came up with "Installation Aborted" and "Status 7".
I then found an explanation of how to sort out the problem of Status 7, at which point I attempted to put the edited version back onto my phone, only to realise that my computer and phone are no longer mounted and I cannot access the SD Card. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting with no joy, because I'm stuck in ClockWorkMod it won't show up on my PC.
Now here's the moronic part... I completely missed the big bold lettering of "Before you install a custom ROM, PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP ROM!!!", so I cannot restore to another point.
Any suggestions and feel free to assume I'm a complete idiot when describing any fixes.

Download another stock rom from sammobile switch phone off and flash it with odin then factory reset Done..
You can then start again... By the way status 7 is usually caused by wrong recovery or old recovery.
Use Odin install latest original firmware then root then install latest CWM to get rid of status 7 error

You sir, are a gent. Thank you kindly. :good:
Thought we'd got the problem sorted but it seems to not like ArchiDroid, still waiting on the stock ROM to download as there are server problems.
Out of interest, would a KitKat recovery work on a 4.3 ROM?

I had that, it was an older version of CWM causing the status 7, would TWRP help ?

We're all sorted, it was a 4.0.4 CWM installed with a 4.3 ROM. Upgraded CWM and we're good to go! I don't think he's brave enough to attempt a KitKat install after 6 hours of being stuck in CWM, haha.
Thanks again to all that posted. :victory:
As Kalavere says, all sorted! Looks like the key to Custom ROMS is make sure you have the latest CWM!
Thank you all for your help!
yeah this has occured with me when i rooted my s3
i've tried to install a rom but then and totally out of the blue it told me that installation aborted so i became very disappointed and didn't know what to do cuz i've already followed the instructions written in the site
i just tried to re-root my s3 with a different root file Which I've got from xda too and everything ran ok again so just re-root with another root file
