you checked them md5 after downloading?
are you using the latest recovery?
are you on the proper baseband for the rom you're attempting to flash?
you may also try to put the zip on the internal sdcard instead.

Hope someone can help me with this.
I totally formatted my phone including the internal sd card because I wanted to start fresh.
Now, when I flash a rom I get the yingyang logo blinking and nothing happens.
I downloaded an official firmware and flashed it in odin, and that worked.
So I decided to flash the custom rom I've used for a long time, but the minute i reboot the phone after flashing, the same thing happens.
And now, when I try to reflash the stock rom, i get a MD5 error in odin. Even though its the same firmware that worked earlier.
My phone is useless now, and I cant seem to get it up an running.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?
EDIT:
Tried to reflash the custom rom with stock kernel and when the i9300 logo appears it hangs for a little while, then I'm back into CWM with the following message:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Here :
Download a good copy of the stock rom from sammobile.com
Flash it in Odin
Go to recovery and wipe data+cache
Start your rom
Flash CF-Root or however you want to re-root + CWM
Flash your custom rom
Wipe in recovery
Should do the trick + fix the log error.

Thanks for the quick reply
But the problem is that I cannot flash the stock rom in odin because of a md5 error, which is weird since its the same file I used earlier today.
Luckily I had another ROM on my ext sd. tried to flash that now and that worked, so must have been something wrong with the other rom.
But what to about the stock rom issue?
MAybe try to download another stock rom?

The file was corrupted/changed in some way so the MD5 doesn't match anymore.
MD5 sums are often used to compare files to see whether it's the same exact file. If that happens just redownload it, bigger downloads = higher chance of corrupting. I recommend SamMobile for all Samsung related stock FW.
P.S Renaming the file changes it's MD5. I know right?

I did use SamMobile for downloading. The only thing I did afterwards, was moving it from my desktop to another file location.
Then the md5 error came up, so I downloaded the same file again, but this time I tried to flash it from the download location, but the same error
But now my CM10 rom work, so at least my phone is up and running again. Won't bother for now about the stock rom.
Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it
I'm in the process of flashing CM11 from JellyBeans, and am stuck booting into recovery mode. I attempted to flash the latest CM11 nightly release using TWRP recovery 2.5.0, which failed. I then tried to reboot and it said that I had "lost root permissions" and asked if I wanted to fix them, which I agreed to. Now it will only boot into the TWRP recovery mode.
Here is the text from when I try to flash the file.
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sdcard/cm-11-20131230-NIGHTLY-i605.zip'

Any ideas on why it won't flash, and what it will take to fix it in this state?

Update your recovery
Whats the best way to update to CWM recovery? I'm still a bit inexperienced with all this, since this is my first android.
Flash latest CWM

The easiest way is to install ROM Manager from the play store and run it.

You can download the latest zip (6.0.4.3) and flash in your current recovery, or use a tool from the market place. Something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en

I am only able to access recovery mode, so (unless I'm missing something) the Play store options are out.

So I can just flash the 6.0.4.3 zip just as I would a ROM? Also, this link only supplies a .img file. Where can I find the .zip?

Have to tried flashing your previous ROM back onto your device? You do still have it on your sdcard, right?

Live and learn! :good:
We have all been there. Always make a backup before flashing anything.
I also was not able to flash CM11 using TWRP... Assuming you can transfer files to your SD Card (microsd adapter maybe?) try flashing a 4.2 touchwiz based rom and see if that gets your phone to boot. Once you are back on, download the ROM Manager app and use it to install CWM. Then reboot into recovery (it will now be CWM) and flash CM11. Make sure you have the correct google apps zip as well.
Question... did you wipe memory/cache?

Im at 4.0.4.
That was my ultimate goal to root the phone but when I tried I got the same error message
I thought that I would wipe the phone and install a ROM but to do that I need CWM

Assuming you're NOT yet rooted, I'd say, update your phone to official 4.1.2 through Kies and then follow the previous link. Will work 100%
Root and flash it with Odin. It works for me.

Ok installed kies and updated to the lastest firmware.
Tried again ans still get the same error message

Unless u root ur phone u cannot simply change the CWM while on Stock
Ok
I've tried to root my phone and I get the same error message
Root your phone by flashing an insecure kernel e g. Philz, hirox, apolo etc via Odin. Then reboot to recovery and flash away your ROM.
If you want a kk ROM then you would require a kk compatible recovery which you can get by flashing one of these kernels - dorimanx 10.43, Gustavo's, apolo.
Thanks guys I got it
I'm sorry in advance if this is a noob question.
Hello all, I just got my LG G3 yesterday. I used the downgrade method with the tot file and the special DLL to get to 10b (from 47a), then I OTA'd all the way to 23c. Then, I rooted it and installed TWRP from the auto rec app. After all of this, I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 (the latest release on their website). The problem is that I don't know how to do this. I've been trying to search the internet on how to do this, but I've gotten mixed results on what to do. Do I just go to TWRP, install CM, install gapps, and be done with it? Or am I missing steps/doing it wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Never mind, I got it to install

How did you install it? Did you just download the zip file to your sdcard from your browser then backup, wipe, and install in TWRP? I'm getting an error and missing something.

there's no flashing option on stock recovery.
Only at TWRP (or other custom recovery) Flash directly from there.
Rooting has nothin to do with it.

Oh, that error means the ROM might be faulty or you're flashing the wrong one.
Be ensure of the ROM first.
Redownload and check.
