I rooted my ATT GNote using Odin from GNote rootICS. After root was completed and my phone rebooted same computer I used Odin on, a message kept popping up everytime I connected the phone back with PC. The message was "missing identity of the device...contact manufacturer". After trying several times it finally recognized my phone as mass storage device and didn't see SDstorage to transfer after trying a couple if times again I was finally able to see SDstorage and then I moved zip file of PA to storage. After all this struggle when I flashed ROM using CWM. The installation failed and some status 7 error popped up...can anyone please guide me where did I go wrong?
P.S Phone is not bricked becoz I was able to restore it back nandroid copy I made before flashing PA ROM.

The latest ROMs have had issues with CWM, which is why everyone seems to be using TWRP--the one the Paranoid Android developer linked to, and suggested in the PA thread. He included it in his tutorial.
To rehash:
Copy the TWRP .zip file to your device,
(or install goomanager, then hit menu, and selet install openscripts)
Flash TWRP
Download PA (a newer version may or maynot be available on another site).
Check the MD5, ensuring you got a good download, and that the upload wasnt bad.
Flash.
Enjoy.
In short, make sure you have a good download, and flash the TWRP recovery .zip , then flash the ROM from TWRP.

Thanks. I have twrp on my GNEX and have been flashing ROMs without trouble.
The way I rooted GNote it installed CWM but even before I even have problem flashing rom. I am having problem with my computer reading my GNote when I connect it with data cable. Every time I connect a message pops up saying missing identity of your device call manufacturer.

I need some help.
I recently purchased a ATT GS2 I have it rooted and recently flashed Unnamed v1.0.1. My issue is every time i want to flash a new rom its pain in my butt. Like now, I am thinking of putting CM7 on and playing a round a while with that but I know I will not be able to just download the rom and put on sd card, boot into recovery, do a data wipe, then flash rom. It always gives me an message that the install has aborted. Unverified signature or some crap like that. So what I have to do to flash a rom is the following. Run odin and flash back to stock with root. Then run odin again and flash the clock work mod recovery kernal SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar. Finally at that point i am able to flash a new rom from my recovery menu. I love the galaxy series and I do remember on the original having to revert to stock using Odin one click before flashing a new rom. Is it going to be the same with the SGS2? I had an att inspire 4g for a while and it was super easy. Download rom, boot recovery, wipe data, flash rom, DONE>
If anyone can help me out with a suggestion of what I may be doing wrong I would appreciate it so much. If you need more details please let me know.

If you follow these instructions to a "TEE" you will be able to flash CM7
without erroring out.
#1: delete the unnamed 1.01 and cyanogenmod zipfiles from your sdcard
(if they exist)
#2: download a fresh copy of CyanogenMod zipfile
#3: download a fresh copy of unnamed v1.01 zipfile
#4: copy both the newly downloaded zipfiles to your internal sdcard
#5: flash the unnamed v1.01 rom using cwm (not rom manager)
#6: after flashing before reboot select "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM
#7: reboot the phone into a useable state
#8: press power button and select "reboot recovery"
#9: flash the cyanogenmod zipfile (it will not fully boot yet)
#10: wait about 30 seconds after you see black screen with Samsung text
#11: remove and replace battery and reboot into CWM recovery
#12: select "wipe data/factory reset"
#13: flash the cyanogenmod rom once again
#14: select reboot in CWM
#15: in less than 2 minutes the phone will be ready to use!!!!
NOTE: if the above method fails you will need to start from scratch
"ultimate unbrick"
Good luck and I will be waiting for you to click the big THANKS button
I had a few problems with that, I had to download the CM file several times before I got a good copy. you should probably try running an MD5 on the zip file.
Excuse me for being a newbie but I am having a hard time understanding the difference between Rom manager and clock work mod recovery. I always thought they were the same. Can u give me a quick run down of the difference. When you say flash using CWM recovery do you mean from off position boot into revcovery mode and then flash? Not selecting flash rom from Rom Manager, right?
Here is where I am confused. At any given time I should be able to download a new ROM zip file. Place it on my internal sd card. Reboot into rocovery mode, wipe data, flash using CWM Recovery and be done. I have never been able to do it like that with my SGS2 unlike I was able to on my HTC inspire 4g. Whats the difference?

Forget about Rom Manager please.. Rom Manager and CWM are
two entirely different things.
Just follow the instructions to a "TEE" and note that I have not mentioned
anything about rom manager in my previous post with all the step by step
instructions........ For now, forget that rom manager even exists.

ROM Manager seems to insist on using its own CWM implementation, which has been broken on every device I've ever owned. For example, everyone who used ROM Manager on this device had signature verification problems, and anyone who used ROM Manager's CWM on the Infuse wound up softbricking their device if Voodo Lagfix was enabled, forcing them to Odin/Heimdall back to stock.
In-kernel CWM is the most tested and most reliable way to use CWM.
Three finger salute is the only way to be sure when you're trying to enter CWM.
So would u suggest uninstalling rom manager all together?

I am trying to flash a zip file for Google Now so that I can test it out. However, when I boot into recovery and try to flash the zip it says that it cannot read the file. The instructions for the Google Now installation says to use CWM. However, when I loaded CWM onto for the flash it would not work properly. Every time I tried to select "Flash zip from SD card" the screen would go blank and just stay like that.
Cliffs Notes: CWM is useless and TWRP won't read the zip file that I need to flash......does anyone have any suggestions?
Re download the file. Worked fine for me on twrp

Did CWM get fixed for our phone? heh.. doesnt matter.. TWRP's new UI won me over long ago.

Turns out my cable was bad and wasn't transferring files correctly. I switched cables, reloaded the zip file onto my phone and it worked flawlessly. Thanks for the advice.

Not sure if CWM was fixed or not. CWM has never been my recovery of choice though. On my OG Evo I used Amon Ra and on my LTEvo I use TWRP. I just loaded CWM because the instructions for that flashable file specifically said to use CWM so I figured I would load that just to remain consistent with the instructions. However, CWM was clearly not working properly so I immediately flashed back to TWRP in order to avoid further frustration.
Hello I bought my P7500 in Malaysia from an independent computer store (not tied to a carrier) about 2 years ago and I recently decided that I'd like to check out CM before I buy my next android device to see if it's important to me to be able to have CM on my next tablet. I took the files from the CM's wiki on how to install CM on the P4. I'm able to get into download mode on the tablet and successfully install the CWM according to Odin 1.85. After I reboot though I still have the standard Samsung recovery binary and when I attempt to repeat the steps it says;
Reason: Force Key,
Secure Mode: Secure,
Check Signature: Check,
Custom Binary download: No (0 count),
Current binary: Samsung Official.
I'm using the official cable that came with the device (sometimes it's finicky about connecting) and Windows downloaded the drivers for it when I first connected the device to my PC. The only other thing I can think of is it has an official version on ICS 4.0.4.
Any help on why I'm having these issues.
Once you've installed cwm, then boot into recovery. Its the other icon when you boot into download mode. It should show a customized recovery rather than the stock one. I believe the infos you gave was from download mode right?

Ok I figured it out. The problem seems to be that Odin needed to be restarted for each of the 3 different files that the CM instructions are telling you to install with it. I decided to try it in reverse recovery.tar.md5 -> modem.tar.md5 -> bootloader.tar.md5 and noticed only the 1st file is loaded properly. So if your following the instructions at wikic[dot]cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4 then you need to know to restart Odin between each file.
Actually I think you should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202. It has all the information you need and contains the right gapps for our device if you want to flash cm10.1.

I can tell you this... on the epic 4g touch... Odin doesn't like to try and flash more than one thing at a time...
I'm not sure how you went about using Odin, but if you need any help... I'm always around..
Ok so I rooted my phone succesfully, and hours later i followed to try to install cyanogenmod 10.2 which is the latest available for the samsung GT-I9300. I tried this with cyanogenmod app, but since it was not working, i followed to download the rom by myself and install it manually. Since it is the first time i did this i was following a video tutorial step by step, but i made a huge mistake, the cm 10.2 should have been a .zip file, but i missed that, and i instead unzipped it before saving to my sd card, so i followed every step, and when there should have been a zip file, there was nothing. I came up with the stupid idea that if i selected reboot normally itll just work, but of course, it got bricked. so, how can i go back to ANY rom? is it possible? (i do not care which rom i just want my phone back)
Note: I did not back up my stock rom or any rom at all. and my computer does not detects the phone
Please help me.

OK, so can you go to recovery mode(press vol up+power+home button simultaneously..)??
If yes then download any ROM and remove your SD card and place that in it by SD card reader or another phone maybe... then go to recovery mode and flash that file without unzipping... If u can't do that then see if you could go to download mode (vol down+ power+home nu button) and download a firmware suitable for your phone(do check your mobile variant cause there are different firmwares for different variants)from sammobile.com.. install the proper drivers on your PC and then attach your phone via USB cable while it is in download mode... Install Odin..search for it (Google)... and you can see a video of that if you don't understand anything about how to flash a firmware by Odin... this should revive your phone...

I'm running CM 11 nightlies, usually the latest.. I've been running CWM 6.0.4.4 for as long as I can remember after initially rooting/loki patching my phone.
Last week, Rom manager notified me that there was an update to CWM, 6.0.4.7. I thought "cool" - and I flashed it via Rom manager, which reported this was a success.
However, whenever I rebooted into recovery, I still had CWM 6.0.4.4. I tried again, fail. Decided to clean flash my next nightly and try again. Same thing. Could not get Rom manager to update.
I flashed over to Twrp using goo manager which worked fine. I used Twrp to flash over to Philz touch which worked fine.. anytime I use Rom manager now though, it seemingly does nothing even though it reports a success. For example, if I am on TWRP and use rom manager to flash the latest CWM, I'll be met with a success but a reboot into recovery leaves me still with TWRP and no CWM.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out what's going on -- I know I've seen others at least in the CM forum post about Rom manager acting similarly, but I also hear reports that it works fine for others. Ultimately I just ended up making a 6.0.4.7 flashable zip of my own to upgrade but I'd rather get things figured out vs make a new flashable zip anytime an updated version of CWM comes out.

get the latest cwm 6.4.7 zip and flash through philz recovery make sure to apply auto loki patching (i think thats already checked never hurts to make sure though) hit power options and reboot recovery. thats my thought and u should have on screen cwm 6.4.7

Where do you get the 6.0.4.7 zip? I've only been able to find the .img file on the rom manager/cwm website...
Going back to my htc days n adb using it was fastboot flash flash {recovery name}.img. maybe using something like flashimgui or flashify.. just thoughts of course other than that u would need to convert to a zip file

Nice! Flashify does it beautifully. CWM touch even. I cannot believe I'm just now trying this app!

Nothing immediately apparent, I'm just OCD about running the latest/greatest.
