So I'm rooting my best friend's Vibrant, which is on Froyo. I did all the workarounds needed to root while on Froyo and I managed to root the phone and get recovery running (the reinstall packages one). But, I've been trying to install CM11 from recovery and it doesn't let me. First, whenever I picked the zip to install it, it would throw me with the Status 0 error, so either the zip was corrupt or the CWM was too old. So, I downloaded another CM11 and it still threw me the same error, which meant the problem was recovery. With the AIO toolbox, I managed to get a newer recovery running, but when I select the zip it says it couldn't mount /sdcard. And then /sdcard becomes unreadable in recovery until I reboot the phone. /Sdcard can be read fine when booted into the OS so I don't think it's the encryption bug. But, I can't install any ROM, and can't find any other CWM image that's more recent or maybe a TWRP image. What to do?

Update: I flashed the KK 4.4 kernel and now can't get into recovery, it goes into a bootloop booting into recovery.

Update 2: managed to enter recovery and flashed CM11. Fixed phone. Close thread if needed.

E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)
The phone is rooted as I've searched on google and what little I could find says to have it rooted. Not exactly sure what to try. I've wiped and reset everything and still a no go. Doesn't matter which ROM is selected either. Thank you.

My best advice is to unroot and do a complete factory reset and try to root again
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right tab to unroot

Just rooted it and checked it with super user downloaded ROM manager set it to Recovery mode from there and still the same error.
You should still try to unroot even if you just rooted. It fixes many problems

Do you have Clockwork recovery installed on your phone? How are you trying to install these custom ROMs? Are you using ROM Manager?
You don't need root to flash a Rom...
Get Odin
Get an Odin flashable version of cwm
Flash said recovery with Odin
Boot into recovery by holding all the buttons till you feel a vibrant and letting off the power button, or the adb command: adb reboot recovery (or since you have root, download a terminal emulator from the market enter the command: reboot recovery, then Grant superuser permission.)
Then Flash Rom in cwm...
Old version of TWRP maybe?
To run the ROM Manager I needed root access. I tried to load the ROM from the ROM Manager and also straight from manual recovery mode.

Trying to install yours and i get
E:signature verification failed
That is stock recovery 3e...
Go read my post above...
THIS IS A LINK TO CWM TOUCH...JUST CLICK ANYWHERE HERE AND GET THE ODIN FLASHABLE VERSION
You do not need root to flash a Rom... Rom manager is not needed, and in fact just causes more problems than is worth
I don't think ROMmanager is even capable of flashing anything on the note. Someone correct me if I am wrong
You're correct...i wish that app would just go away and be erased from people's memories.
Actually i don't think Rom manager has worked on any Samsung device since eclair...as froyo was when they introduced 3e recovery, which requires signed update.zips, which only Samsung has the signature tool for.
So the update.zip Rom manager downloads to flash cwm with just gets stuck at "E: signature verification failed"
I'm still getting errors I'm going to search on youtube some more and see what could possibly be an issue. I go in with Up+home+power and erase everything I can in there and try to load from .zip and errors.
So I got it to work. I didn't really do anything differently except put it on my external SD card instead of my internal.
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.
Hello,
So I was trying to install cyanogenmod into my mother's phone using the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 However, I got stuck at the 5th step of installing a custom recovery (clockworkmod) because heimdall simply refused to work. I have uploaded a pic of the error, I am hoping someone can assist me.... I have uploaded a pic of the error....
You could have check xda for that.
You can get CWM by flashing a custom kernel via odin or by flashing a zip file via recovery.

well I just tried the given steps again. This time it worked, but my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I am able to get into recovery (which is now CWM recovery) but nothing else. It's still bootlooped even after doing a factory reset..... I don't know what to do.
Wipe dalvik & cache.

Alright I have been having some problems with my Note 2 that would be for instance I used to use TWRP but know I use ClockWorkMod Recovery and I don't want to anymore but I try to switch back and it said it did but when I go into recovery mode it just goes into ClockWorkMod Recovery. Also another problem I am having would be I am trying to flash over a new rom (Jedix17) but when I put it on my sd card it says its on there on my computer but when I go into CWMR it nots even in there.
Anyways or ideas that you guys can think of to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
How are you installing TWRP? I would say ODIN or adb it. Also CWM is not seeing which SD, internal or external? Put TWRP on internal and try that if you have not already.
Just download goo manager and install the TWRP recovery through that.

Thought it was pulled from goo cause of having to have the correct boot loader? I know it said my device was not compatible or couldn't find it for my device. Pretty sure that it said that on the twrp page.
Okay, so I was trying to install CM 10.2.1, but I got a missing md5 file error, so it didn't work out. I am using TWRP as my recovery, and naturally I wiped everything before flashing, so I then went into some of the recoveries on my sd card to try to restore from those, unfortunately all attempts at restoring have failed,. My next attempt was trying to use the adb sideload feature of TWRP to try to put a new ROM zip file into it, and try to flash that, but TWRP just hangs at "Starting sideload feature" and never really starts it so I am unable to do that. Any ideas on how to get things working? Also why is TWRP unable to do anything correctly? (TWRP v2.6.31)

Why don't you just take the SD card out of your phone and then put it into your computer and move the ROM file and gapps file to it that way?? Unless you don't have the SD card adapter.
I was having random problems with TWRP myself and got Philz Touch and now I'm good. Just a thought.

TWRP 2.5.0.2 is supposedly the most stable loki recovery for our phone. I would try "downgrading" to that first, If you still have problems with 2.5.0.2 then I would switch to Philz Touch. I had to switch to Philz because TWRP just doesn't like my S4 for some reason. It sucks though, TWRP has a way better UI than CWM.

It's just the little things like there's no real graphic interface, it's just a throwback Windows menu, or the fact that dalvik cache needs to be wiped separately, etc.
