So I have this used Galaxy S3 (I9300, 4.3 android) sitting around, and decided to try and get into custom roms and whatnot
I rooted it through Odin, installed ClockworkMod Recovery and tried to install a aokp rom, but when i try to do so, the recovery tells gives me an error saying "This package is for 'm0, i9300, GT-I9300' devices; this is a 'm3'."
What exactly does this mean? And does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
I think that m3 is i9305. I put some rom port when i9305 tells me that. sorry for the bad translation of google ha!
Well I checked the settings and they said that my device was a i9300, and all the roms I tried were also for i9300...
My guess is you installed cwm for the i9305 s3 by mistake. Download twrp manager from playstore and flash latest 3.0 with the app.

im running the latest clockwork recovery on my galaxy s2 and it wont install roms keeps giving me status 7 error how do i fix this i tried re installing the zip moving the to the sd card didnt work
Sounds like you don't have an I9100. Check your model number.
Or you do and you're trying to install ROMs for a different device.
Nope it a i9100 international version the Rom is a s2 i9100 rom no matter what rom I try I get the same error even ones I've flashed before and have worked
When I try to download the ROM from ROM manager, it tells me that I need install Clockworkmod Recovery, but when I pressed install, it came up with a Confirm Phone Model page which does not have Galaxy 5 as a option. So I am now just stuck here, what should I do, or is the free version of ROM manager pure not very useful?

did you root your phone?
what rom are you actually using?
did you try to update Rom Manager to an earlier version?
I assume your phone is rooted already. Don't continue if it's not.
I thought there was an official one released for the phone. Are you using the newest version of ROM Manager?
If yes, and our phone model is still not listed, then you'll need to install Clockworkmod Recovery by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151396
It involves downloading a program called ODIN. You need to flash (transfer) the Clockworkmod file to your phone through USB. It's all in the thread above.
I had the same problem - installing the latest Rom Manager (free version) from the store didn't have Galaxy5 listed as a ClockworkMod possibility.
I flashed the whole thing by hand with ODIN and installed CyanogenMod - and presto; the version supplied with it had Galaxy5 support and I had no problem doing the "read only partition" installation.
Rom Manager is pretty crappy anyway - I prefer manual installation over it...
DO NOT - i repeat - DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
Theres no compatible version of CWMR it does offer. Flashing any of the other versions, which are made for other phones, might brick your device to the state that Im currently trying to revert (d/l mode only, but seemingly unflashable).

Why did you say that??? If the phone is rooted you can download CWM by RomManager without fear.. the important is that when the popup with phones versions come up, you choose only - ONLY! - Galaxy 5 voice! If this voice is not present into the popup, don't choose nothing at all! Choosing another phone might brick yours!
I downloaded and installed and even only update CWM by RomManager a lot of times and everything was always fine! No problem at all!!
You cannot scare people for nothing: your problems are not bug or issues, but only YOUR problems! and YOUR errors!!!
So, boyz, don't worry installing CWM by RomManager.. but remember to choose only Galaxy 5 voice, no other phone, 'cause you could brick your phone selecting a CWM that is not compatible with our GT-I5500..
I brought galaxy s2 from three carrier in UK. Accidently I hard brick my phone and flash firmware from sammobile. Com via odin . Everything is fine in this jellybean stock rom. Now I can't flash any custom rom. It gives status 7 errors. I tried many roms. I updated cmw recovery to latest version by rom manager but still can't flash any. Does other stock rom changes s2 model number. For now it's showing gt i9100.Was it att or tmobile or skyrocket or else when I brought it? Why can't I flash rom? Why there is no twrp available for galaxy s2 this model? Help me guys. God bless you!
I've had that error on kk ROMs when tried to flash from old recovery. If I remember you should have at least 6.0.47 recovery version. Try to flash Gustavo_s kernel,Apollo or doromanx and try to flash again.
When flashing via recovery cwm has a security check that checks the model of your phone to the model of what rom you are flashing . If they do not match It returns status 7 error which prevents from installing wrong rom and hardbricking your phone .
Error can happen when recovery is not updated . A simple fix is to make sure you are on the latest recovery .
TWRP : I think it doesn't have the security check however :
INSTALLING WRONG ROM WILL MOST LIKELY HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE
I am sure you know that already .
There is TWRP for i9100 . There are methods to remove the security check via editing the rom but it is not recommended

Thank you guys for reply. I flash kernel once and it was struck on boot screen. As you said there is twrp available for galaxy s2. I have heard lot of positive vibes about twrp. But in their official website s2 gt I9100 is not listed. It's only for s2 Exhilarate SGH-i577. Is it correct? Any working twrp download link for particular I9100 model? I have heard that twrp are less likely to status 7 errors.
Apparently twrp is not officially supported by i9100 however there are ports by other people . I know because of my last attempt to install cm11 snapshot m8 after flashing gone abit wrong I was getting status 7 error even on my backups .
Try installing (or using kernel) omni-rom . It is available with cwm or twrp kernels ... not sure how it fits with carriers though ...

How did you recover from last brick ? Did you flashed stuff or had the mainboard changed ?
Hello dear community
This is my very first thread I am making on this website, so please pardon me if I am on the wrong page of this website.
Anyways, I'm more or less desperate. I saw a youtube tutorial on how to install Android 4.4 Kit Kat on a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and I heard I'd need root AND a custom recovery.
Because I'm a total newbie to this kind of stuff, I tried the very first thing I saw that had something to do with custom recovery, because I already had my phone rooted. So, I looked up a tutorial on youtube on how to install CWM custom recovery and ended up with installing it successfully, but now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. As I already mentioned, I am a newbie and therefore I am very desperate at the moment, you know.
The only thing I can do is go to Recovery Mode, but if I try to turn the phone on it gets stuck in a bootloop (It actually doesn't loop at all, it just freezes at the moment when the Samsung Galaxy Note logo appears and doesnt do anything after that.).
I think my problem is that I actually threw a new Kernel on my phone, because the video title says "How to install Kernel with CWM [...]"
I would be very very very very very grateful if anyone was kind enough to help me get out of this!
I really need help!
Thanks!
PS.
If this helps you help me:
This happened when I had Android 4.1.2 installed.
There's going to be 2 ways to get out of this:
1) Reinstall the stock firmware via Odin.
2) Install a custom rom via recovery.
Personally, I'd go with number 2 because a) you wanted to update anyway and b) if you have the right recovery and rom, it'll be easier as you can just put the files you need on an external SD card and install via the custom recovery. Now, not all recoveries are able to flash any file. Many times you need specific ones to install the newer android versions. So, if you are wanting to install something 4.4 based, then using a recovery that was made, say, last year, probably will not work well if at all.
Another thing to try first, is to wipe the cache and dalvik cache in recovery since you said you tried to install a kernel. It is always recommended to wipe these when installing (assuming you did pick a compatible kernel with what you were trying to install).
Hey guys I recently installed cm12 on my galaxy s2 i9100 to test it out and didnt like it because its overheating my phone, and I want to change back to cm10 or something similar. When I booted up into recovery mode I get this "CyanogenMod Recovery" and Im like wtf? . I copied my cm10 to the sd card to install it but it just wont work it gives me errors. I want to get rid of cm12 but nothing I try seems to be working.
I either want to remove this cm12 and install that NeatRom for galaxy s2 or downgrade to cm10 or something like that. But with this new cm12 nothing I try seems to be working.
I read somewhere that I just need to flash another custom recovery into the CyanogenMod Recovery but Im just not sure and I want expert advice because I dont want to brick my phone.

CM recovery needs a "signed" .zip to work. Use a newer build of dorimanx kernel from gsstudios or philz kernel, reboot to recovery then flash the rom you want etc. :good:
You can try TWRP+stock kernel by Lysergic Acid. It's signed so it will work on CM Recovery.
