Help with flashing rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When im flashing my s3 in TWRP i got error all the time with "set_metadata_recursive: somechanges failed, E:error executing updater binary in zip etc." its hypermax v6 rom

Usual causes are out of date recovery, bad download or corrupt data/system.

Can't Flash CM9

I flashed back to stock AT&T, rooted, added Superuser, installed CWM, downloaded the CM9 stable zip from their site, put it on SD (tried internal and external, not that it should make any difference...), and keep getting this:
Installing: /sdcard/cm-9.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I717" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I717" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "quincyatt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "quincyatt"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-9.0.0-quincyatt.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Was it a bad download, perhaps? Seems unlikely, but you never know I suppose.... The only thing I can come up with is that I'm on kernel 2.whatever and the screenshots I see with 4.0+ have 3.0.8. If this is the problem, how can I get that kernel on my Note before flashing CM9 again?
Please let me know if I'm missing any other important information needed to help solve this awful stock phone problem
You need to update ROM manager.

No, he needs to update his recovery which can be done via ROM manager if he wants to keep cwm. Twrp 2.2.1.1 also works.
CWM 5.8.4.8 is what ROM manager should install for you. If you give them money ROM manager can install the touch CWM 5.8.4.3. All of these versions work to flash cm9, cm10, or any other ROM.

I just got 5.5.0.4 which I assumed was the latest, and when I installed it again through ROM manager it gave me 5.0.2.7. Odd.
I'll look for 5.8 and update...

For the life of me I can't get CWM to update. I got 5.8.4.8 from their site, which is just a recovery img, put it on the SD card as is, didn't do anything, made it a zip to try to run it as update.zip, won't do it. I deleted the existing CWM folders, put the new one on there, and it still loads 5.5.0.4. Tried formatting everything, didn't work. ROM manager won't do anything for me either.

Yeah if you're going to use the .img you have to use adb. The instructions are around.
ROM manager has the option at the top to "flash ClockworkMod recovery" that should install the latest non touch CWM. Did you try that?

I got an error in the command prompt when I tried adb, and I tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM manager but it installed 5.0 (wtf); since I can't get CWM to update to 5.8 I gave up and reflashed to stock, rerooted, reinstalled Superuser, put the TWRP 2.2.1.1 zip on my SD (openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.1-sgh-i717-signed.zip), but when I try to install it gets a quarter of the way through and I get this:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
Installation aborted.
So I got GooManager from the market, and when I try to Install OpenRecoveryScript I get "No recoveries were found for your device."
I just can't catch a break here. What am I missing??

Sorry no, I reflashed to stock because it was the only way I could get rid of CWM completely. So that was in the stock recovery mode while trying to flash TWRP.

Haha, ok. So you are Odin'd back to stock and stock recovery. I would use Odin to install the cwm from braways thread in dev section. Then you will have cwm and can flash stuff (like twrp). Once you flash latest twrp you will be set to flash any Rom. Hope that helps.
You can't flash this stuff from stock 3e recovery.
Good luck.

That's exactly what I used last time, the download for CWM there gave me 5.5 which caused the rest of my (initial) problems. After reflashing stock, I tried to put 5.8 on the SD and install the zip, and it wouldn't do that either. I'll give that another shot since TWRP isn't working either....
Finally got it: had to reinstall CWM 5.5 so I could install TWRP 2.2.1.1 and then it let me flash CM9. I swear I tried that already; I guess it just needed to be rubbed the right way. Thanks for the help!

Re-download again the rom. Flash again. Md5 means file is corrupted

You will need to re-download the rom and flash it again in recovery.
Yeah redownload and see if there is no problem with md5 flashing if so if it is corrupt try without md5 to flash.

According to the installation instructions, you WILL get an assert error:
Comming from a Pre "Slim-venturi-4.4.2.beta.1.7-UNOFFICIAL-20131221-1839" ROM
Do a back up!
Do factory reset/ wipe (incl. /system)
In recovery: flash ROM zip file. (You WILL get an assert error!)
Read the warning on the screen.
Flash the ROM again!
If you have and international device flash the INT Kernel from the OP.
Flash Gapps
Reboot.

Wen I turn the phone on it fails to load anything and then goes into recovery. This all came from when I attempted an OTA for a rom I was on before.
I 'm getting this error.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
I re flashed the CF Root using odin but still no luck.
Flash full stock firmware with odin then factory reset.

I'm sorry but i'm not sure what you mean by this. I have Odin but how do you flash a zip file?
Ok scratch what I said earlier its a .MD5 I just thought it was a .zip when it was downloading. I've managed to restore the stock firmware using odin. I gather that this has removed my root?

help!! how to manually install updates

Recently i got a softwre update(43.68 Mb) on my stock rooted Galaxy S Duos s7562. after I have downloaded the update it asked to update now or later.. when accepted to install now, It swittched off and opened in cwm recovery and said failed to verify signature of file.. istallation aborted.
-in which I disabled signature verification.. but after a few sec "signature check disabled" msg pops up..
does it mean I can flash the update file manually after moving it from ( /cache/ ) to my sdcard?? or it will cause any problem???
help guys!
The ota wont install because you have a custom recovery. Try to flash a stock recovery back and take the ota again.

That I can figure but signature check is disabled then why not installing.. and Can I just take the downloaded OTA update from /cache/ and install it in recovery?
I think you can, but if you can download the ota from xda and then move the zip over to the sd card that would be best. Also, I think the zip verification has to do with md5 hashes, and not with whether or not the ota will install. It may also be failing because of your modified system.

You could always stick the OTA on your hard drive from /cache/ and use adb sideload <file>
