[Q] problems installing CM11 ON S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an AT&T S3 I have clockworkmod 6.0.4.7. I am trying to install cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-d2att.zip but every time I do the install is aborted and I get a status 7 error. I tried installing TWP but though goo manager but my recovery mode is still in clockworkmod. Please help me figure out how to install this latest version of Kit Kat rom.

Try to flash TWRP using Odin or download a recovery flashing compatible file for TWRP and flash it using your current CWM. Or just try PhilZ

Do you have an i9300 or another model number? Try asking in that model's forum.

Download CM again or simply from another source and before you transfer the .zip file to your phone, compare the MD5 of both files to check if the download was successful.

CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer

When I start CWM Manager v3.60 it comes up saying
This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.

When I boot into recovery it shows at the top:
CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 : : CF-v1.5
I flashed it with Odin v3.04 using file CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
I've tried Odin v1.85 and I've tried reflashing with a tar file from a different source.
I've tried the recovery-cf-cwm-i9300-1.5-gsm.tar from the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit
Also, I've read a bunch of guys on the [03.07.2012] CF-Root 6.4 - SuperSU+CWM5.5+CWMManager thread (starting from post 332 onwards) who have the same problem but I can't see any reported solution.
Any ideas how I get round this error, guys?
Many thanks.

Im really new to this but willing to learn, I used this root file CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 (2) and it came with CWM after rooting. Iv Setup recovery through ROM Manager to Clockworkmod 6.0.3.6 and I no longer get an error when opening ROM Manager but still get an error when opening the CWM App but if it is now redundant I wont worry.
Just backed up backed up current ROM (stock OS rooted) to check all is ok and seems to have saved it fine so its working as it should.
Just downloading a custom ROM on laptop now so want to get it right before i flash it

You dont need CWM manager or ROM manager. Its best to use it manually.
Please read general > Sticky roll-up thread > Understanding the basics before rooting

Cheers for the links dude, I'll have a good read tonight. Maybe should of found those befor iI rooted and flashed a custom ROM but it looks like iv been lucky to do everything right so far!
Thanks again.

can't root SGS2

Hi I'm rooting my phone by using odin3 1.85. this worked fine but now I'm using superoneclick which is always stopping on step 7
Try flashing a custom kernel that is already rooted like CF-Root kernel through odin. It's the fastest method out there. AFAIK SuperOneClick doesn't work on our device.
Bdw, you should've posted in the Q and A section

Flash it via CWM recovery
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I have tried to install it by CWM 2.5.1.2 (by accessing it before system boots) but still getting this error

1.boot to CWM recovery
Update/flash zip from SD
Toggle signature verification
Then flash your ROM now
Or
2. Flash Siyah kernel first via CWM recovery, it has updated CWM recovery version 6.x
Then flash the Rom
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
CyanogenMod needs CWM5+.
I have download syiah kernel and tried to install it by CWM which gave me the same msq and odin freezing when installing it
I have new SGS2 with 2.6.35.7-I9000xxjw4 kernel and the phone is already rooted

then use mobile odin to flash the kernel.

Hi All..
Im pretty much a noob..last week i decided to install cyanogenmod on my phone.Im using international version of Galaxy Note GTN7000.
I saw there was a windows installer on cm website..but wanted to make a backup of my current rom..
i rooted my phone using kingo android root..installed rom manager..flashed latest clockworkmod recovery..
but on booting into recovery,i found stock recovery was being forced..i read somewhere it was because of unlocked bootloader..
on cyanogenmod wiki page,i found installation of clockworkmod recov using heimdall..everything went fine ...blue progress bar was shown in the download mode...and when i rebooted into recovery mode i saw the first danger sign..there was a yellow triangle beneath galaxy note logo..
and then it booted into clockworkmod recovery 5.8..Foolishly i did a system backup..rebooted...surprised to find phone went into black screen after displaying a note logo with yellow triangle beneath..tried recovery from clockworkmod without hope but that didnt work as expected...
This is the situation..All i need now is to install cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable on my device..i dont want a custom rom backup anymore..
'but i saw in forums i will need to flash a custom rom from sammobile...

At first flash a Samsung firmware through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I recommend you not using Rom Manager. Have a look at PhilZ's thread for having a safe kernel and custom recovery to be able to backup and flash what you want.
doubt
Can i flash stock rom from sammobile
and go for cyanogenmod windows installer without flashing philz kernel

I really don't like this CM installer... Toolkits won't help you in case of trouble.
Download a firmware from SamMobile and flash it with Odin then you will be able to install PhilZ and your CM rom (or another one )

Yes you can but the most important thing on N7000 is to have a SAFE kernel before wiping or flashing from recovery. (more details in the N7100 sections)
Here are the general instructions to flash a new custom rom:
1. Having root and a working custom recovery (updated)
2. Boot into recovery mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME) then VOL UP to accept the warning.
3. Make a Nandroid backup and backup your EFS.
4. Full wipe: wipe data (factory reset), cache, dalvik and system. Recoveries are different. You may need to go to another menu to format the system partition.
5. Flash rom
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot normally

ALL - via android consule, via odin, and i dont know about other method. with all other devices i had NO problem at all and i flashed many roms before. its the fors time something like that happened to me.
Try this with Odin: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.25.0-i9300.tar.md5 Put it at "PDA". What error gives you Odin ? Is the phone rooted ? Have you tried installing with CWM Manager from playStore ? Also, try TWRP Manager app, as I believe it does not require root to install the recovery. After TWRP is installed, download the CWM zip and flash it. Ypour friend is running stock ROM, right ?
If you're Rooted then download and install "ROM Manager" From Play Store and that'll guide you through installing the latest CWM for your device. This is the safest method i know.

since I had to go back to cwm-based recovery v5.5.04 in order to restore, then the newest version of cwm is v6.0.1.4. When I use odin it says I have 9 counts, because of the different versions of cwm and twrp ive flashed. Ive google cwm and this cwm-i717-6.0.1.4-20121002-signed I downloaded, it is the one on this forum. I look for it on odin but it doesn't show the file do I have to change the extension cause it only reads tar, md5 and smd or I just install through cwm
