I own a star n3+ and I was trying to install the latest official rom from Needrom. I've done this a couple of times both using the flashtool and later using CWM. This time I tried installing from sdcard, so I deleted my data, but after cwm says "installing update" it directly says "installation aborted". Then I tried using the flashtool, but I gave me pmt changed error. Then I thought maybe the rom is not good, so I tried the 4.4 update. Both flashtool en CWM gave me the same error they did before. I tried re-installing the driver it didn't help.
I tried getting back to my original rom, but cwm still keeps giving the same error. I am at a point where I don't know what to do. Now, somehow the drivers won't reinstall again so using flashtool is not possible, until I can fix that. What can I do ??

I successfully flashed to BB.67 and Rdanar's Overider F/W and it was working like a dream
Then tried to install latest xRecovery
Now stuck in SE boot screen
Tried flashing other F/W's - still stuck
Tried SEUS - says I have latest F/W and only option is 'Exit'; no 'Repair' option at all - still stuck
Tried PC Companion 'repair' function; that failed too with this message 'there is no software available for your phone yet.' - still stuck
What do I do now???!!!! Help!!!
Fixed it. Made a custom flash using a generic stock ROM and latest flash tool and it's worked. Thank **** for that!!

Try FlashTool, flash a stock firmware and start over.
Don't try to install xRec version 1.0 again,
until the developer of the ROM you are using
gives specific instructions! Good luck!
Remember you do not install busybox/xRecovery after you have flashed a custom rom. It would really screw you over.
Hi guys,
I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.
Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".
Does someone have a clue of that is happening??
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.
Hope this helps.
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
Install rom racer's recovery.
I voided my warranty.
Use this link: romracer's custom CWM
Let us know if this helps

May be you want to try installing the CWM from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
This should most likely help you fixing the issue you are facing.
Good Luck.
Cheers!!!
Just tried the recovery mentioned above by you all... and nothing, I keep getting the same error -> "Installation aborted", right after "Beggining installation" (or something like that)
Any clues?

How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S
Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.
SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.
Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.
If anyone cares, heres what my phones running
Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)
SBF= Bell_ihop (the international bootloader unlock sbf)
State= Won't boot past the big red M in the centre of the screen.
Hello guys,
as a last resort I turn to you for help. Have been searching for the answer for the last 2 days. I am running CWM-based Recovery v.6.0.1.1 and have a rooted x10 together with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed the recovery without any problems and installed miui v4 but an older file which was very unstable (without any problems). Then I decided to install the newer version so i downloaded it, placed it on my sdcard and in the same recovery flashed rom. Unfortunately I had my usb cable plugged in all the time (during installation). Installation got stuck in the middle and nothing could be done so i removed the battery and started the phone again (this time without the usb cable). When I tried to reinstall that rom again it gave me status 7 error installation aborted, assert failed:getprop,error in sdcard and things like that. So I tried the ROM which had already worked on my phone but received exactly the same message. What is more usb storage mounting in the recovery doesnt work anymore (but it already worked!). Now the problem is that I don't have any system installed and when i try to flash the recovery again, flashtool does not recognize my phone (so does windows) and so it leads me nowhere. I think this is definitely problem with the recovery, after the failed attempt to install rom when i had to remove the battery it does not behave normally. Is there any way that I can maybe install another recovery from .zip - i do not even know whether it will install or just sends me another error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When I want to flash .tft file and i go to flash mode it does not recognize my phone in windows even though I have installed all the necessary drivers. It starts to flash but then says flashing aborted (this did not happen before, i could flash without any problems). Another problem is that i do not have any rom installed right now so i cannot even switch debugging on and if i remember right, i left debugging off in my previous rom.
Use Sony Update Service. Download from Sony site and install on PC. Follow the instruction, and this will reflash Stock Rom and Kernel (GB 2.3.3). Then, with latest Flashtool, first Root phone again, then flash whatever you want (custom kernels, roms..). You don't need to unlock bootloader again. It remains unlocked.

Omg - I found solution to my problem - I just changed usb port and it started to flash even using flashtool. Still, many thanks since it helped me find solution
Hi Everybody!
I recently flashed a ParanoidAndroid rom and was trying it, but it was laggy for me and kept crashing.
Anyway, I wanted to restore to the backup I made after rooting the phone, but at first I couldn't, since CWM kept telling me "No Files Found!".
However I managed to start the restore using Rom Manager ( updated CWM from 5.5.0.4 to 6.something). While restoring, CWM tells me that Data recovery failed, now I navigated to reboot, but it told something about returning to Stock or something like that, then I stupidly pressed NO!
The X sign showed up, but it just crashed and rebooted. Then I figured out I'd Re-flash PA, since it's still there on my phone's storage. So I did a wipe, then wanted to install PA rom, only I couldn't find it :/
And now even CWM won't enter, it keeps giving me that open android figure with the red exclamation above it.
Can abybody PLEASE help me?!
it's worse now :/
I tried using odin but with no success, and I know I have the right usb cable and the right drivers, but in the two roms I tried (ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1) both only have a .IMG file, so I converted them to .tar using GalaxyNexusToolkit, it says it passed after operating for like 5 seconds, but the phone is stuck at Google logo and that's it. And tried GNexToolkit to use the .img files,but it only flashed .img but not the whole thing,
Also I managed to flash the new CWM Recovery using GNexToolkit, but it didn't do anything when I press restore, it just says "Couldn't open directory. No files found.", also I screwed with it up a "bit" erasing system, sdcard, cache and everything. And now when I turn on CWM, it says "E:can't mount /cache/recover/command & /cache/recovery/log & /cache/recovery/last_log"
I understand I need to Re-Partition the phone, but I can't seem to find a way to do so, and that I need .pit files that I are extinct as far as I know :/
Help me Please :crying:
Some time ago i tried to install cwm via Odin in my phone and when i rebooted it came out a black screen. I flashed a stock rom and solve the problem. But when i tried to install cwm using the stock recovery mod and going to "apply update from /sdcard" the message "E: Unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" came out. I looked up and saw it may be caused by a corrupted/outdated version on cwm. I tried to solve it installing a newer version of cwm via Odin, tried to delete the cwm folder using apps and commands, tried to downgrade my firmware but nothing worked.
Someone please help me.
Just use the most recent version of PhilZ recovery. Also, I think you can safely ignore this error, because CWM mounts storage in another folder.
still need help =/
Didn't work. i dont know why but i cant delete this thing and cant upgrade it. have any other ideas?
You need to install PhilZ CWM through Odin, I think it don't work using stock recovery. If you can't do it, try to reflash stock rom and then you install CWM using Odin, again.
