[Q] How do I troubleshoot my first image deployment issues? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Greetings-
I just built my first image of AOSP for a Samsung Note 3. I have, in the past deployed a Cyanogenmod nightly release on my phone. Now I am trying to deploy my image. I used this link to build my environment http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-rooting-roms-hacks/189699-guide-ubuntu-compiling-android-source-12.html . But the install does not go well. I am moving the zip file to the external sd card, and using TWRP to install it. I get the following messages: E: Unable to mount '/usbstorage' Full SELinux is present In istalling '/external_sd/full_toroplus-ota-eng.root.zip checking for MD5 file Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found. assert failed: getprop ('ro.product.device") == "toroplus" || getprop ("ro.bild.product") ==toroplus" e:error executing updater binary in zip 'external_sd/full_toroplus-ta-eng.root.zip' error flashing zip '/external_sd/full_toroplus-ota-eng.root.zip Updating partition details.. E:unable to mount 'usbstorage'
What am I doing wrong? Is there some other way I can do this?

Thanks. Are you saying hlte is an option for the lunch command? Here is how I got toroplus; I saw it in the android source site. https://source.android.com/#q=sprint samsungese
Basically, these are my options:
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY# lunch
You're building on Linux
Lunch menu... pick a combo:
1. aosp_arm-eng
2. aosp_x86-eng
3. aosp_mips-eng
4. vbox_x86-eng
5. aosp_deb-userdebug
6. aosp_flo-userdebug
7. full_grouper-userdebug
8. full_tilapia-userdebug
9. mini_armv7a_neon-userdebug
10. mini_mips-userdebug
11. mini_x86-userdebug
12. full_mako-userdebug
13. full_maguro-userdebug
14. full_manta-userdebug
15. full_arndale-userdebug
16. full_toroplus-userdebug
17. full_toro-userdebug
18. full_panda-userdebug
Which would you like? [aosp_arm-eng]

This is not a nexus device so Google would not have it in there. .... if you want to build aosp and not cyanogen or some other flavor that had already supported hlte then you will have to add support yourself

Thanks. I started to use Cyanogenmod, and went through this link: How To Build CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE ("hlte")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I issue breakfast to get the device specific modules, I get the following message:

including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
ls: cannot access device/*/hlte/cm.mk: No such file or directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am now downloading version 11.0 instead of 10.2. Do you think that would fix my issue? I do not know what it is complaining about.

I don't remember if their was ever a 10.2 that worked so yes I think it best to use 11.0 ... cyanogen should build with no problem. .. what os are you using that may be a problem I think most use 12.04 Ubuntu ... but I use 14.04 and the difference is a few different things ....

I am using 12.04. Do you think I should upgrade?

I just noticed a comment about fastboot. Will I need it for this task? I just can not get fastboot working on my laptop. I think it is because I only have usb 2.0.

I have tried 11.0 twice now, and I get this error:

What should I do?

Hey Epix, thank you so much for your help so far. I was able to download cd-11.0. I had to delete the .repo directory a number of times ( about ten ), and it still did not work. I then deleted other git related files. I used this linke http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1213430/how-to-fully-delete-a-git-repository-created-with-init I hope this helps others.
I would really appreciate it if you can help me with fastboot issue. I posted a comment earlier. I am also now running into some other potential issues when I issue "./extract-files.sh" command. Below you see the result of grep for the words permission, and failed. Would this cause me issues? The permission issue is related to my device.

I tried to fix the permission issue by issuing the command mount, which according to the Cyanogenmod wiki here, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_Building_Basics mounts the directories as read/write. But I ended up with the same amount of permission denied'sssssssssss so I used adb shell and issued mount -o remount,rw /system, and then issued the Cyanogenmod script command "./extract-files.sh'. But I still get the same number of permission denied messages. Any ideas?

You have to setup android sdk ..and add it to bash and path so that in any terminal you can type android and it opens sdk ... Until then you can't extract files
