I've been flashing roms for a while but I wouldn't call myself an expert on it. I'm trying to flash the latest version of slim bean 2.3 onto my phone from chimera v1.1
These are the steps I did: All of which were through team passion's recovery (Is this the problem does it need to be Clockworkmod recovery?)
wipe data/factory reset
clear cache and delvik cache
in mounts and storage I would format data, cache, system and datadata.
I'd then redo wipe data/factory and clear cache and delvik cache again.
Install zip:
flash 2.3 zip
flash slim gapps.zip
I would then restart and it would go through a boot loop.
anyone know why this is happening? Team passion has their own recovery which I think is to blame. Do I need to be using clockwork mod? Whenever I try to install it though it tells met vibrant (MTD) is not supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I didn't search since I need my phone soon and just wanted an answer as soon as possible!
I think when I was on slimbean you needed to flash the device zip reboot flash the device again and the common.

The common is the gapps correct? Otherwise I cannot find the common file???
You no longer need common, it is integrated, just device and gapps.
When you say clockwork mod says vibrant mtd not supported are you referring to ROM manager?
You shouldn't flash it through ROM manager. The issue is probably due to change of partitions/kernel. Flash the device zip then go to advanced and reboot recovery and flash it again. That should fix it. The other option is to Odin BTS (2.1) and go from there.

just an update I decided to try one last thing before I had to odin back to stock. I reflashed with the previous version 2.2 (slim bean) then flashed the brand new version (2.3) And it worked!
Seems there's a problem with flashing 2.3 alone with gapps without having any prior slim bean on. So I'm now running jelly bean. Hopefully avoiding the dreaded eu bug of ICS.
Can you write (Solved) in the subject line op.

I am trying to swich ROMs. I am currently on Jellybro and really want to try Helly Bean. Has anyone tried/had issues going from Jellybro to Helly Bean? I followed the flash instructions and I am getting a status 7 error. Any ideas how to fix? I've searched the Helly Bean thread in the development forum, but I'm too much of a n00b to figure out what they are saying most of the time. Do I need to start from scratch (Odin back to stock)?
If I have to Odin, I'll do some more searching to figure out how to get from stock to Helly Bean.
Thanks in Advance!
Check this out. Seemed to work with previous build.
I just tried the Glitch kernel fix and I am still getting the same status 7 error: symlinks failed. I got the same error last week, but I had assumed it was the updater.sh script as described by hurtz777.
It always fails on the vibrant install, the initial and the base work just fine. Do I need to reflash the glitch kernel after the base installation?
Any other ideas?

2.reboot recovery.
3.flash helly bean initial
4.flash hellybean xxx(device name)
5. Flash add on.
6. Go into advanced. Fix permissions.

Yes, but it gives me the status 7 in step 4. I did a factory reset, wiped cache/dalvik, flashed glitch kernel, flashed initial, reboot recovery, flashed base, flashed vibrant rom, then i get the status 7 error about half-way through the install.
What about formatting system partition?

I thought about starting over completely. Reformat everything and reflash stock with Odin and start with a blank phone. I don't want to loose any info but at this point I don't think I care anymore.
I have Titanium back up, but if I reformat, it will not reinstall my apps correct? If you can't tell, I'm new to the game here.
Reflash your kernel.. trust me

Same error. ugh...
Youre supposed to wipe data, wipe dalvik cache and cache, format system, and then install the initial package. After that, reboot recovery, then flash the base. After that, flash the file made for your device (hellybean vibrant 0807) and then flash the addon. After all that, reboot. I dont think you're supposed to get a status 7 error, because thats how the developer says to do it.

They have been getting a status seven on that thread. They said it was a sy link error. I can't remember how to fix it though
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
Actually that was on some of the earlier builds such as 0804 and 0805 and perhaps 0806 as well. 0807, I can say that it is working. I just checked the thread, and another user reported that he was on 0807 and it runs fine. Just putting this out there for you all to know.

That's what I did, but I can't get past the vibrant flash file. I get the status 7 error in the middle of the install (symlinks failed).
I didn't format the system partition. I can try doing that too. I won't lose my backups or apps (titanium backup) will I? I suppose i could back them up to the external SD and remove it.
I'll try that this evening. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for everyone's input.
i googled the problem and i got here .. i had the same issue with captivate, rebooting after installing the base solved the issue for me .. don't forget to fix permissions after flashing the addons

Same error.
I haven't gotten around to formatting the system partition yet. That will only affect the OS right, it won't delete any other data?
i fixed it with flashing stock kernel from odin..

I'm currently running CM10.1 nightlies, I quite fancy trying out a stock based ROM, can I just flash as usual using a ROM manager from the phone being turned on or will i need to flash back to stock first?
Thanks

the best stock based rom i have come across is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998701&highlight=phenom
You don't need to flash a stock rom with Odin and your PC, just use CWM. Just follow the instructions on the page, i've pasted them below for your convenience.
***COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM A FULL WIPE IS RECOMMENDED***
***FULL WIPE***
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Wipe data/factory reset in recovery
Wipe Cache & Davilk Cache
Flash Rom in CWM
Reboot
[EDIT] "can I just flash as usual using a ROM manager from the phone being turned on" - yes.

You have to do a megawipe if coming back from 4.2 roms, as these roms change the folder structure of internal storage. Dont forget to backup everything in your internal storage or you will lose them.
Many others have faced problems later by not doing a megawipe.
lefttobleed - pardon my ignorance, can this be done within the ROM manager or is it worth going into recovery to do this? I don't have my phone for a couple of days so I can't currently check settings.
Thanks

you have to go into recovery and flash the megawipe aroma file. sorry i dont remember the link for the file. Search for it.
Please note that i am not familiar with rom manager so i dont know whether this can be done with rom manager. I always flash through recovery.
Edit: Please dont try this through rom manager... i feel something might go really wrong.
Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

Hey guys i recently posted a question about whether my i9300t would be able to safely run cyanogenmod 11, the answers i received said that i would not have a problem, i had already flashed the S4 revolution rom successfully, aswell as cyanogenmod 10.2, but when attempting to flash CM11 and AOKP (4.4.2) it just came up with a red 'FAILED!' sign for both of them.. im using the latest TWRP
Any ideas? much appreciated, thanks Guys

not sure if it is also valid for CM, but most rom devs recommend not to use TWRP for flashing a 4.4 rom. Maybe try Philz?
Format System, data, preload and sd card (internal memory) while on TWRP, aswell factory reset wipe all data and dalvik cache and then flash those ROMs

Hi. I tried to flash newest version of GApps (full modulare which I have never use before, allways the stock) and newest version of CyanogenMod 11 Nightly. I'm also using CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6 in my GT-I9300. Someone in CyanogenMod forums told me to wipe all data/factory, cache and dalvic cache to make CM's trebuchet, before flashing a new ROM and GApps.
I tried that and result was that I'm getting the ****ing "PHONE HAS STOPPED WORKING" - problem.. Huger problem is that I need this phone tommorow in work, and it ruins my day totally if I don't get it work by tommorow.
Because of Wipe ALL data / factory reset, I do not have even any backup file in my device. What to do to fix it!?

Can you boot into recovery? Have you got a external sd card?
If yes put another Rom on ext SD (if you have a SD card adapter for computer) boot into recovery and flash again!
If not can you get into download mode? If yes flash a stock Rom with Odin..

Thank you for helping. I flashed stock 4.3 Jelly Bean with Odin by using XDA's tutorial. Now I need to root my phone again to get CyanogenMod 11 and KitKat, but It's okay. Still don't know how to get CM11's Trebuchet work correctly. Problem is that if I flash PAGapps stock package, I get the phone work correctly, but Trebuchet disappears. If I flash full package of PAGapps, Trebuchet should work, but then this error happends and I need to flash stock rom with Odin.
What to try next?

If you are flashing custom roms you do not need to root, custom roms come already rooted...I'm not sure which gapps are compatible with cm11 but have you tried Banks gapps I use them on Fusion kitkat rom (if they are compatible)..
Obviously there is some app in the full gapps that is causing your problem.As for CM11 launcher can't you use another launcher?
