Hi there,
I've just flashed SlimKat to my GT-i9300 along with the Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3 file from the website
However after a few attempts of reflashing it, formatting cache etc from CWM recovery the gapps never show when I've booted into the ROM
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Cheers

I installed gapps before you boot up the first time?

Yes exactly, I followed the instructions from SlimROM website, I am using CWM recovery 6.0.4.5 touch
Flashed ROM then flashed Gapps AIO but no gapps appear in ROM after flashing...
Am trying to flash ROM again following these steps:
The first thing to do is to make sure you have the latest recovery installed.
Note that recommended recovery (CWM or TWRP) varies from device to device so make sure you check our forums for your device's thread and install the recommended recovery stated in the OP. The easiest way to flash the recovery is to either use Goo Manager app for TWRP or Rom Manager app for CWM.
Download latest SlimKat and latest gapps and put on your sd card.
You’ll find the latest SlimKat for your device here.
And look for the latest SlimKat gapps here.
Reboot to recovery.
In recovery make a full wipe as per these instructions:
In CWM perform wipe data/factory reset and in mounts and storage section format system.
In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Flash SlimKat rom zip.
Flash SlimKat gapps zip.
Reboot, setup and enjoy.
But receive this message in CWM:
--- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!

Data wipe complete.

My fault, I was using an old version of CWM (i could only find old 6.0.4.5 flashable file) which was the issue, I then followed a guide how to convert the .img file to .tar.md5 then flashed via Odin. Then install worked fine no problems.
Thanks for your help

Hello, I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
when I wipe my Dalvik Cache i get:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] <--- This part concerns me...
Dalvik Cache wiped
Reflash recovery?
what should I do?
[edit]
*On that Note I was thinking, there are tons of random folders that have accumulated and aren't deleted when I flash new roms. is there a particular method to completely wipe everything on my phone? both internal and sd?
Anybody at all know what's going on?
This is just a guess but it probably has something to do with how CWM reads the storage partitions (sdcard and emmc) and how it is presented in the Atrix as sdcard and sdcard-ext. Which Rom are you using?
As far as deleting everything, you can go to [Settings - Storage] and you should see options to format internal and external storage, which will delete everything on the storage partitions and then you use CWM to wipe cache/dalvik cache/userdata(reset).

Have you tried updating CWM through RomManager or try romracer's recovery?

I am having the same issue and cannot get my nook to get beyond the CWM screen. The question: Has a solution to this been identified?
Thanks.
When you boot into recovery try wiping data to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then install the ROM from the SD card afterwards.
Sent from my NookTablet with CM10.1
I don't know if anyone asked about this matter but I'm having this problem as of today. I'm on epinter's CM10 and I tried ATRICS by thehope using CWM. I didn't like the rom so I restored back to epinter's CM10. I tried to install CM7 or any GB and it went okay but when reboot my rom is still in CM10. I also flashed MIUI but failed to flash and said assert failed...status 7. I don't know what to do anymore...I tried flashing .sdf files but in no luck. Can someone help me please.
Copy CM7 zip in internal memory.
WIPE / FACTORY RESET
FORMAT /system
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Pull Out the SdCard form Slot Sdcard and then flash with CWM.
Do you try?

I also try the fix permission and it went smoothly.
Yes, I'm telling the truth, I'm using CWM recovery 5.0.2.0? I think that's the latest for atrix 4g.

Did you try to root the phone again?
Not sure if this has been answered, but I have been searching and cannot find an answer.
I'm S-Off with Dirty Racun, have been flashing Roms for the past year, no problems, backing up and restoring Roms with no problem. Recently was using the latest Hatka LTE but wanted to restore to an earlier version. Didn't work. Did a super wipe and tried to install clean. Didn't work.
Have been messing with this all day and am stuck. At first it was saying that it could not mount the /sdcard. I thought maybe the internal sdcard was corrupt, so I formatted the internal sdcard. Didn't help.
Anyways, yes, I can get into bootloader and I can get into TWRP.
Yes, I have tried other versions of TWRP. All my backups were created under 2.4.1, have tried 2.4.4 and 2.5 to restore, no success.
In TWRP 2.4.1:
It will say:
Restoring 4 partitions...
Wiping System...
Formatting System using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring system...
E:Unable to extract tar archive '/sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT2324......
Wiping Cache..
Formatting Cache using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring cache...
[cache done]
Restoring boot...
[boot done]
Updating partition details....
E:Unable to unmount '/system'
Also, not sure if this is related, but when I do Factory Reset under the Wipe section, it will only show that it is formatting cache, formatting data, and wiping .android_secure. It used to say formatting system, but now doesn't mention it?
Also, immediately after it says unable to mount /system, if I try to wipe system, it will give me a fail, unable to unmount /system
Basically, I'm stuck at TWRP and bootloader.
Also, when I try to install a ROM, any ROM, it will die - for example MeanBean 3.09, it will say:
Formatting and Mounting Partition...
Clearing cache and dalvik...
Installing /system....
Installing /data...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard2/MeanBean-v309-jewel-ltevo.zip (Status 7)
Please help! What can I do to restore it back to the way it was so that I can at least get a working ROM on my phone?
Thanks!
Also, if it will help, I am HBoot 1.19.22222
Radio 1.12.11.1210
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
Thanks for any help in advance!! Really need this phone to boot into something working.

sorry for the replies to myself, but as an update, now even after rebooting into recovery, I can't even wipe - the first thing that happens after I reboot into recovery is I see
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard', which repeats itself a couple of times
then Running boot script...
Finished running boot script...
This happens before I press a single button in recovery (TWRP 2.4.1), I mean it happens immediately as it is booting into recovery

I had the same issue and ended up using three different versions of TWRP, but if you go to the TWRP thread, captain just posted his version of recovery that he built from source and he fixed some of the issues with the android secure and changed some of the wipes, check it out and reformat using rm rf, works better for me it's in the advanced options...

wiping is done before flashing not after flashing !!
proper wiping include wipe data/factore reset wipe cache format system and wipe dalvik cache.
next tiime use philz recovery and chose the option clean wipe for installing new rom option.
for the time being just do the wipe i mentioned before and flash any roms available in your sdcard / ext sd card.
if you dont have any roms on your sd card then try adb push rom.zip to the root of sdcard. read more / google adb to know how to push files to sd card. this wont flash the rom.zip but will copy files to your sd card so that you can flash them through the recovery...
