Cwm problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

What have I done wrong. I rooted a friends note as I did mine. Followed Canadian rooting guide. Went to install new cm10.1 and got a error. Blah blah blah error "bad". Redownloaded 4 times withe the same result.
What's my deal?

Perhaps give TWRP2 a try as the recovery. I've had more success with it over CWM with newer ROMs and never went back to CWM.

When reporting an issue... it's a fantastic idea to describe your problem as clearly as you can.
"Error blah blah blah Bad ... blah blah blah" doesn't really help anyone to help you.
Cwm gave your an error, now I can only assume it was a status 7 error.
That means your recovery is older than the type of script used in the zip to flash the rom.
To fix this, do as the poster above said and get the latest twrp, or find an updated version of cwm.
I personally use twrp so I'm not 100% sure where to find the latest cwm if it's not here on xda.
Now... if this isn't the error you're getting. Do yourself a favor and just flash that rom and
POST EVERY SINGLE THING CWM SAYS.
LETTER FOR LETTER.

Hey Folks, The error I am seeing is on both TWRP and CWM. E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130303-NIGHTLY-quincyatt.zip(Bad) Installation Aborted.

And transfer to your phone/sd card via USB cable or SD card adapter on PC.
You did install CWM properly and aren't still using stock recovery?

Problem has been solved. I used the USSD code for reset, went to stock and re did everything and a way I go. Everything works no. What I did before is beyond me. Thanks alot to everyone who has offered their help! Greatly appreciated...

Hi,
what did you mean you went back to stock? and what is USSD?
here are my issues:
Hi, I really love this CM 10.1 ROM I am running the 10.1 201330209-unofficfial-quinctatt. Everything works fine except when I reboot the phone it loads the boost screen starts up and then freeze once done with the boot screen.
SO I need to restart the phone a few times to be able to get it back on.
---also I have 5.8.4.3 CWM in stalled and try to use ROM manager when it works even got the paid version but booting into CWM works best.
I am unable to install the latest cm-10.1-20130306-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. I get a.
--- "zip status 7 aborted message.
Also when I try to install cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. it installs fine,
But when I try to place calls.
---there is no sound on the speaker or external or internal.
I would like to stay current on the nightlies but are these just some of the glitches that come with it?
---Also I tried installing the GB-modem because my GPS wont lock, I think that is when the phone quit allowing me to make calls(no sound on speakers) which help the gps a little I guess? not really.
I am now back on the i717UCLF6 baseband.
If it wasnt for my nandroid back up I would be totally LOST!
I mostly use liquid Mod it works best, love it! but would like to be on 10.1 CM. Still no gps lock though. I REALLY NEED GPS, i drive a lot for work.
I know there is a lot going on here buy ANY! help is very much appreciated!

Install the latest TWRP recovery ...IMHO And although I might get flames thrown for this, use recovery to flash directly, and not through the rom manager app.
It has caused users some grief...
Regarding your sound and boot errors, boot into recovery and wipe all caches ....cache/dalvik cache .....then reboot too test. It sounds as if your flash may be dirty somehow. And if restoring apps to your new roms by using titanium backup or other apps, restore only the APK and not the associated data stored by those apps.
CM nightly builds are buggy yes, and will have errors not found in stable builds. But having used the same build you are referring too only a day ago, I can tell you that my sound was okay with the M2 rom.
And I commend you on the creation of a proper nandroid backup. It seems all too often we find users in real trouble with no backup in their pocket to save them.
Call me anal retentive, but I flash bleeding edge tweaks every day, and I keep backups compatible to all 3 recoveries we have for the note just for this type of emergency.
The latest TWRP and a cache cleaning should help you with both the current build, and future builds to come.
Good luck, and happy flashing ...g

[RECOVERY] [3/30/11] Updated ClockworkMod for ALL ROMs

So the current iterations of cwm seem to have trouble working reliably with the newer froyo ROMs, and koush's recovery (although seeming to work correctly) is quite broken. So......
please find below a new recovery package that should work for any ROM for the fascinate, mesmerize, or showcase.
This is a "red" cwm recovery, and it will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo installations.
cwm-recovery-ALL.zip can be flashed via any cwm recovery.
if you are using odin, then use the cwm-recovery-ALL odin (.tar) package.
updated 3/29 - thanks to GizmoDroid for help with fixing fix_permissions script and root permissions typo that screwed up nandroid restores
updated 3/30 - fixed 'umount' typo - actually *fixed* fix_permissions this time - fixed odin/heimdall recovery attachment
Thanks, I just installed it. I'd rather not have a broken clockwork mod.
thanks, will give this a try!
ok, so I flashed this in the old cwm and it does come up red, but also says CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery, is that right?
In what ways is the old cm broken with froyo? I haven't noticed any problems.
Thanks! Good to have a fully working recovery again.

Yeah, I'd like to 2nd this question. I have DL30 and CW worked for me in setting that up. Granted, I haven't tried anything else after that, but I'd like to know too.
Well I've had weird things happen when flashing stuff (I was using the "new-cwm.zip") , seemed like data being written where it shouldn't be? Just flashing theme files or own stuff I want to add, and I've had the following stuff happen:
Nuked my radio, had an unknown baseband and calls would never work, fortunately Radio Odin fixed it.
Had some /data apps disappear. Had some /data/data disappear. On reboot had Setup Wizard pop-up, even though I still had my Google account registered.
Hoping this new clockwork is completely safe. I suspected that clockwork was responsible for my weird happenings, so data-wiped and haven't flashed anything, so far fine functioning.
Using this is it easy to flash back to a prior set up, for me it would be back to dj05 w superdark and voodoo5?
Ive been holding off on froyo bc I need wireless tether, preferably unreported tether. But I really want to play around and see what the fuss is about. Ive downloaded every dl30 rom, havent installed one fearing I cant go back easily

/data on the fascinate is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
koush's recovery mounts /data as mmcblk0p2 (THIS IS OUR /DATA/FOTA. THAT'S BAAADDD)
under most circumstances this does not matter , because recovery.rc mounts data CORRECTLY before cwm gets to it, but there are circumstances where /data can be unmounted and then remounted, in which case cwm is gonna mount mmcblk0p2. If things get written there, at best you've got a **** load of FC's to deal with. At worst, a dead radio.
I've pointed this out to koush before, but was met with a "half-response", and to date it not been addressed (except for the recoveries that I've posted)
installed. When I go to do a backup, it gives the messages below. Backup seems to run fine though
E: missing bitmap progress_empty (code -1)
E: missing bitmap progress_fill (code -1)

Thanks, jt.
Copied to sdcard, booted into recovery, ran the program, keep coming back to green, no red.
ETA: Interesting. If I go to recovery from ROM mgr and try to load from sdcard, it does nothing, but if (while in ROM Mgr) I load from SDcard, it works. Got the blue screen, ran update, red appeared.
I likewise get the error message mentioned previously, but got it at install. Backup seemed to ahve run fine.
Installed like a charm, thanks jt!

thank you JT!!!!! I thought it was just me, Ive had to start over again with my data about 6 times now becuase of Clockwork either not restoring my backups or my phone freaking out once I restored the backup. Thanks again!!!

Thanks very much for addressing this issue.
For a while, I felt like a fresh n00blet, wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried flashing versions of supposedly compatible cwm's in different ways, always coming to the mounting errors.
Other than the errors from the missing graphics, this one works error free.
Scared to mess with this since i haven't experienced any problems with my current cwm stuff from pre dl09... Might just go ahead and do this tomorrow. For some reason I feel more comfortable using the odin method, so I can do all this over my Super Clean 1.0 with Neon GT theme and not have to do any data wiping or anything first?
So this makes no sense and I think its a weird coincident but as soon as I flashed this my beta version of swype started the force close loop..
EDIT: so weird, I had to uninstall the installer and swype itself using titanium backup and then download the installer and install again (had to do it all twice). Seems to be working again now tho..
Superclean 0.7.. aka Froyo.. Thanks devs!

Bootlooped, Odin Won't Work, Coming from MIUI. Desparate...

Just got a Fascinate the other day, rooted it, everything was fine. After going through hell with Clockwork (what a pain in the ass CWM is on this phone compared to Droid, DX, Thunderbolt, Incredible, and every other damn phone on the planet) I finally got CWM installed -- the red one... CWM All or whatever it's called. Wanted to ty out MIUI so I flashed it and this moved me to the ORANGE CWM. MIUI installed, I played with it, I obviously did something wrong because EVERYTHING was force closing. Tried to flash to a different rom bc my backup was missing (whoops... it was on my other sd card) and I couldn't get anything installed. Tried CM7, and many other roms. Tried flashing back to the red CWM all, then got a message telling me I had to install an edify compatible rom. Downloaded community rom, FINALLY! INSTALLS SUCCEsSFULLY! Except now im stuck at a bootloop. It won't let me restore my old backups, I can't boot into ANY rom, I'm completely lost. I've searched for hours, it's 1:30 in the morning, I have to be up in 6 hours, I'm completely exhaused and have tried everything and can't find a fix.
When I try odin fixes nothing works. It just says 0 passed / 0 failed and does nothing. Does anyone have any idea what to do?
Edit: When I try to restore a backup it just says CHECKING MD5 SUMS for a while, and then tells me there's a mismatch. Latest attempt was from orange CWM... 4.0.5 or whatever it is...
And if i try to install CM7 or MIUI it says can't copy meta-inf and aborts the installation...???

I've not, and I appreciate your feedback, BUT, I'm fixed.
To those who come across this, it turns out WINDOWS VISTA was the issue. Odin just wouldn't work with it. Followed the thread below on a Windows 7 computer and it instantly fixed me. Thank God.

Ok so why do they say not to use rom manager?

Just like the title says why should we not use rom-manager on this phone?
from what i can remember it installs a ****ty version of CWM that doesn't cooperate well with our phones.

gotcha. i wish koush would do something about rom manager because the atrix also had a wipping issues on roms and he never fixed it
From my recent experience with the SGSII, the recovery is integrated into the kernel (unlike HTC devices which have a dedicated partition for it). My guess is ROM Manager can't flash it, since it doesn't have the kernel image.

Haha too funny I was literally wondering this last night. Glad you asked kuz I couldn't find an answer when I did a quick search.
Edit: so I've been running miui this week and see the app rom manager. I'm fine as long as i don't actually do anything through it correct?

It breaks and does weird crap - I've heard it works OK if (and only if) you are currently on CM7.
But since you're most likely using it to move to/from another ROM... Just three-finger into recovery or if the ROM has an extended power menu use that for recovery.
Its best to just use three-finger or the extend menu power menu like Entropy said. I've seen Rom manager mess up leading to a semi-brick phone.
Hey all,
First time poster and new to rooting.
I ended up attempting to use rom manager to load CWM right after root, but I think that borked my wifi.
What can I do if I've already used it? I did it because I hadn't yet seen all the xda threads on NOT using it, and the place I was was not as well informed as you folks.
Also, how do I get CWM if not via ROM Manager?
My brothers EVO was royally effed up from using ROM Manager. Became a paperweight until Sprint authorized a replacement.

Read through the FAQs and this thread - CWM is included in kernels that support it.

I ended up figuring most of this out so I wanted to close this out (for anyone that stumbles past my original post).
Here's what I did:
I uninstalled ROM Manager - but this didn't get the wifi going.
I reflashed with the stock ROM and unrooted kernel - this still didn't help.
I did a factory reset - this did manage to get it going.
I was able to track down a CWM standalone that I flashed it with (using Odin).
I followed that up with a root, a wipe, and then a fresh flash of UnNamed.
Phone seems to be working fine.

When I first rooted my phone I installed rom manager because it looked easier to just pick the file that u wanted flashed and it would do it for u, so u wouldn't have to play with the volume keys. But every time I tried to do anything with it, it just said certificate not found. Aborting. So u shouldn't use rom manager. I think it works with the roms that u download of the app but not ones from XDA.

If you're on CM7, ROM Manager can be used to install gapps - that's about the only thing it doesn't seem to choke on.

You cannot get CWM via ROM Manager - that is the point. It comes with certain custom kernels such as Entropy's DD kernel. If you do not have a CWM kernel - you will more than likly need to use Odin to get a kernel with CWM.
If you have totally screwed things up - look in the dev thread for "the return to stock" section and start over doing it the right way

Hi first post as well XDA forums so in depth and helpful decided I wanted to be apart of it. Still a noob though ill work my way up.
I am trying acheive the same goal he is, that is to say Instal the UnNamed (it is exactly what I want) Rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
Keep it brief: Rooted my phone using root exploit:
it will not let me post link. the zergrush one
and bellow flashed clockwork mode using stand alone not ROM because of this forum. Model 5.0.2.6
I wipe catch, battery, then format everything. Then I start to flash the ROM. The installation begins. It cleans and formats everything again, then sais that there was an error in the file and it fails. After this if I dont restore my phone will not start. Ive tried it several times being even more thorough on procedure and its the exact same error every time.
Im just wondering if its the way I rooted it is incorrect, The CWM Im using is not the correct one, or if Im doing something wrong entirely. I think it might be CWM but I have not been able to locate one like he did that worked.
Any help, suggestions, criticism or advice would be very helpful. I just thought Id ask. thanks in advance ^^

[Q] Question regarding TWRP/CWM when flashing CM 10.1

So I was pretty determined to get Cm 10.1 running on my Galaxy Note 2 for Verizon. Before hand, I was using TWRP to do all my ROM flashings but when I tried to use CM 10.1, I was told I must use CWM for it to work properly.
Here's my issue, I tried using CWM but it kept on giving me an error and after searching for awhile, it said its because I'm trying to use TWRP instead of CWM. So I flashed CWM and it gave me the same error. Tried both Touch and regular, downgraded and upgraded to the latest CWM but still same error. So I said **** it and installed the lastest TWRP. Then all the ROMs that were giving me issues started to install flawlessly. Then I went to CWM and it gave me the same error.
Am I doing something wrong when I flash CWM? I tried both Odin and APP Update way and both with same results. After using TWRP for awhile, I actually am starting to like the CWM Touch a lot better and I want to switch but not if its going to be giving me problems every flash.
Any insight would be helpful,
and as always to everyone on this forum, thanks
Just make sure you are using the latest version of TWRP 2.5 and you will be fine. You also may need to re-download your ROM file.
Well I am, in a way, stuck using the TWRP right now but I would like to know if I can actually change it to CWM. And if so, how would I go about doing that? because flashing the CWM alone isn't doing anything for me.

That is the way I have always gone about getting CWM on my phone back when I wanted it. I would just flash over TWRP in TWRP and then reboot system and then reboot back into recovery and it would always be CWM. If it doesnt work for you that way then see if they have a Odin tar and if so follow the instructions to flash it in Odin. They may not have an Odin flashable though, its been a long time since I have used it and on a different phone so....

Let me actually rephrase this. (My bad for any confusion)
So if I try to flash a rom using TWRP, it goes through without any issues, even the CM rom. But when I flash CWM and try flashing, it gives me the getdevice-"(t0vzwte)"-not exact".. When researching, I was kept on told its because it is running TWRP. I tell them its CWM and they told me to update my CWM. I actually like CWM a bit better, idk why. but I was just trying to get my phone 100% the way I want it.

S4 error when flashing any ROM

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere and I am just unable to find the answer....
I was on the CM nightly 9/4. Something happened and my phone crashed. Wouldn't come back up so I had to manually go to recovery and install the ROM again. CM and any other ROM fails to install. Liquid 2.9 is the only ROM I'm able to install for some reason. The error in recovery is error status 7 set_perm some changes failed....using any recovery..
Anyone have any idea why this is?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't answer as far as CM. I am, however, a big fan of LS! Any chance you have a NANDROID before the CM install? Have you tried both stock ROM versions?
I had the same issue on my S4. Ended up being my SD card. I guess it got corrupted. It still looks good, but if I put it in my phone and reboot, it stops booting and I cannot flash anything. It all fails. Even if I flash from the phones internal storage
I tried that just now and it still doesn't work. I don't understand why LS2.9 will flash but nothing else will. Makes no sense to me.
