Sorry guys, help need here... installed RR 7.1.2 on GT-I9100 but failed to install Gapps... here are my steps...
1. Repartition via Odin - pit file - I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_32MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit - successful;
2. Flash CWM -Kitkat Compatible i9100 via Odin - successful;
3. Copy (a) RR-N-v5.8.4-20170813-i9100-Official and (b) gapps - open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20170910 to SD card;
4. Reboot to CWM, wipe partition, cache, dalvick cache, format system partion, flash (a) - successful;
here is the uncertain ways to flash gapps, but i try both ways, all failed.
5a. Right after flashing (a), straight away flash (b), successful, reboot but stuck at boot animation,
5b. After flashing (a), reboot and set up - successful, set Developer option, reboot to CWM to flash (b), error message e:\failed to find / misc partition.
The rom successfully installed and running, but unable to flash gapps.
Any comment? Thanks in advance!
I would suggest starting again this time install TWRP v3.1.0.0 recovery instead of CWM. You will need a compatible kernel. See djibe's guide in help section.

Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...
I'm using TWRP 2.7.8 and these are the steps I followed:
- Wipe system, cache, data and dalvik
- Flash repartition script
- Flash LineageOS zip
- Reboot
After rebooting, it goes to MultiROM selection, and says it is booting Internal(I have removed all other roms) but then it reboots into TWRP again.
I'm unable to install it as an alternate rom in Multirom as well. It throws the error: 'E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/tmp/mr_update.zip'
Yes please someone ! This system partition thing isn't properly working. Stuck at mi logo.

Thank you so much! This worked like a charm. Now I've got it up and running, but I've got a problem. Google Play Books doesn't display any text in any book I open. It just shows blank pages. I've vaguely understood that this is some problem with the webview, but how do I fix it?
Encountered very weird issue when trying to install roms
Hi guys, I'm currently on 'Resurrection Remix M - v5.7.4' after trying to install 'LineageOS 13' which hung during installation on "Patching system image unconditionally" . I've also manged to install 'AOSiP KANG 5.5 - 7.1.1'; once. After managing to install it, I tried to install 'Lineage OS 13' again, but it still fails at the same spot. Now every time I try to install 'AOSiP KANG 5.5 - 7.1.1' in hangs on "flashing AOSiP" . So, I then tried 'Resurrection Remix M - v5.7.4', it worked and now I think I'm stuck on Remix. I'd like to install "LineageOS 13" as the new FoxyKernel only works on 'Lineage OS 13'. I've already merged the partitions and have been able to return to stock rom through the use of the miflash tool and fastboot. I've already tried flashing 'LineageOS 13 and 14' using 'twrp2.8.4 and 3.0.2' but both have failed I've also tried using 'CWM 6.0.5' but that failed as well. I've always wiped everything except the sdcard and usb when trying to install a new rom. Can someone please help me install 'Lineage OS 13' ?
#Note, after I failed each install I always returned back to stock and redid everything again.
~Update 6/3/17
I've just tried to install 'lineage OS 13.0 ' again and it failed yet again, now it seems that I can't reinstall 'Resurrection Remix M - v5.7.4' it hangs yet again on patching system unconditionally, which it did not the first time round. Furthermore, the back up I made previously of Resurrection Remix M - v5.7.4, fails to install and fails on "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255". Can some one please me.
~Update 7/3/17
Managed to install the new 'lineage OS 14.0'; screwed up the install, by installing 'foxykernel' before booting. Caused system to be stuck on lineage boot animation.... should have read the thread before attempting to install and as usual rom refuses to install again. Stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally". Managed to install 'AospExtended ROM V3.1' but system hung on 'verifying network configuration' and "Just a Sec..." screen; WiFi for other devices were ok no issues. Left it on for over 10 hours no change. Wiped dalvik/art cache and cache tried again but no such luck. Wiped data, but also no luck.
#Note, by this time I've given up on returning to stock, as it did absolutely nothing .
~Update 8/3/17
Managed to flash the new 'lineageOS13.0', wiped dalvik and cache, installed Gapps but system stuck on Mi logo on boot. Managed to install 'RR-N-v5.8.2-20170306' boots up fine... tried to install 'Foxy kernel 1.5.rc2'... wiped cache. Now stuck in boot loop... :Facepalm: should have read the instructions first... forgot to back up boot. :Facepalm:. Will have to wait for MM version of the rom or newer version. Tried 'AOSiP-5.5-KANG-mocha-20170306' for some reason it got stuck on boot loop, only shows mi logo.
~Update 19/3/17
Managed to flash the new 'lineageOS14.0[2017-03-12]' , installed 'Opengapps pico 20170314' found out that in order to be stable need to factory reset, then install Gapps, so that when first boot, account set up shows. Installed 'Foxy kernel 2.0.8', now antutu score "80000" ... found out that the backup for boot works. Installed TWRP 3.1.0 , but still cannot install a ROM more than once. All in all 'lineageOS14.0[2017-03-12]' very smooth now that Gapps stopped crashing.
Hi All. We have Stock ROM zips for TWRP as you know. But i have boot problem if I install them with instructions which on topics. I know i am not alone who facing with this problem. This Guide is competible with all models.
Here are the steps to install Stock ROM from TWRP.
1. Check first;
Once you booted to TWRP , Tap Mount and Check "Mount, System as Read-only", this is very important
2. Install bootstack and system files.
3. Wipe Art & Cache.
4. Reboot Recovery. (Not system, just recovery)
5. Install SuperSU now.
6. Reboot.
SuperSU will not be fully installed if you don't reboot recovery. So you can not boot.
Currently: I currently have a custom-recovery (OrangeFox) and Magisk successfully installed on stock ROM.
I am now ready to flash a custom-ROM (LineageOS for now) and am unsure whether or not I need to re-flash Magisk before rebooting to system... SO in general is the process:
1) Flash custom-ROM
2) Reboot to recovery and flash Gapps
3) ???? Should I reboot to recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system OR just reboot to system and Magisk is retained... also, since root was accomplished via Magisk, will flashing a custom-ROM unroot the phone?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Yes, Flashing any custom rom will unroot your phone. You've to reflash magisk after flashing the rom.And make sure you backup everything.
1) Download the ROM and GApps of your choice
2) Make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik, vendor)
3) Flash Rom Zip
4) Flash GAPPS package
5) Flash Magisk zip
6) Wipe cache!
7) And at last Reboot!
steps i need to follow for flashing rom
1. wipe (delvik, cache, system, data)
2. install rom (after flashing a message appears 'No OS installed)
3. then i press home button, and reboot to recovery.
4. Again install rom (this time without wiping any thing)
5. finally gets new rom.
why m not able to flash rom directly after wiping cache etc.
i have to always flash the rom two times (step 4) to install.
where i am getting it wrong?? help please
previously I was using Pixel experience Rom (decrypted)
edit solution: the issue was because of using older version of TWRP. hence solved.
your issue might be because of system partition not getting mounted properly after the wipe. Hence After wiping, reboot to recovery then flash rom.
