I'm trying to install custom ROMs using TWRP and it's not working. No matter what rom I use, no matter how I do it, it just keeps saying FAILED. Please help.

I've been trying to find an answer on this forum and on google but I cannot find anyone with a problem similar to mine.
All of a sudden after trying to update CWM, (failed), I cannot go into recovery anymore.
I know the button combinations and have previously done it before but now it just vibrates and displays the Samsung logo.
If I try and use an app to boot into recovery mode it soft bricks the phone I believe (does not boot and I have to get it into download mode to
flash the system.img).
Does this mean that I have no recovery?
Yes. It means you have no recovery. I would suggest flashing TWRP with Odin.

I tried to flash TWRP using Odin but after the Check status, Odin is crashing and force closes. I tried installing CWM but the progress bar seems like it is stuck on 0%.
I'm not quite sure how to fix this. I am trying to install CM10 but this is the first android I have had.
It's rooted but everything is stock. I am not sure if I need a custom kernel also.
Is your phone a Canadian version? There's an extra step needed when you flash a custom recovery.
It's just an American version
try this and flash cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 with odin if twrp does not work, then download the updated zip from twrp and flash that via recovery. unless u just want to keep cwm touch.
ODIN + CWM Touch or TWRP
Problem -
Using twrp v2.3.3.0 every ROM i try to flash i get a failed message (status 7).
Basically my phone is semi bricked.
I think my solution is to update to the latest twrp and try to reflash my ROM.
Question -
How do i install a new recovery if all i have on my phone is twrp (v2.3.3.0)?

The best way to recover a soft bricked phone is to download a firmware from Sammobile and install it on your phone using Odin. That will restore your phone with stock firmware and recovery. Then you can flash a custom recovery and root your phone again. Your phone still shows as "Added" in Odin, when in download mode and connected via USB cable to your computer or laptop?

I had this error awhile ago. Error status 7 in Cwm Or Philz Cwm or TWRP
i fixed this issue following this Thread.

Thanks for the replies.
I managed to use Odin to flash a new updated twrp recovery image. Using the latest twrp, i selected exactly the same ROM and it worked. So the problem lay with an outdated twrp.
I can thoroughly recommend against the package i used to install twrp, it screwed me for a while.
Get Odin and do it yourself
Hi,
I tried to flash different variants of the stock ROM for build LRX22G.G925TUVU1AOC3, but i end up getting at NAND Failed error every time. I cannot figure out if it is because Secure Download is enabled in Download Mode, or if it is just an incorrect ROM that I am trying to flash.
CF-Root worked fine, but i cannot install and get TWRP to boot.
Any help with this would be great!
Thanks,
Emil
Hello everyone,
I recently picked up a couple GS2's for dirt cheap just to mess around with. I am having a very hard time getting any custom recovery installed on them and I was wondering if there is a trick to it that I am not seeing. I've tried flashing various CWM modified kernels using odin with no luck. They flash successfully but still boot to 3e when I boot into recovery. I tried flashing a modified update.zip from the CM website and it fails with the error "failed to verify whole-file signature". Most recently I did a complete restore using odin with a rooted image, then used Rom manager to install CWM. Rom managed says it is successful, but when I reboot into recovery it launches 3e and attempts to do something that returns the same error "failed to verify whole-file signature". Any input of suggestions would be appreciated.

The recovery is compiled into the kernel on this phone, but it seems that you understand that already. The kernel and system must match. You probably need to be rooted. You have not given any specifics about the firmware, what is already installed, what specific item you are trying to install, etc.

This does not actually seem logical. I'm wondering if you are not mentioning something that I would need to know to determine why you are getting this result. If you install a custom kernel containing a custom recovery, you should then be able to boot into the custom recovery. If you still have 3e recovery, it indicates that you still have the stock kernel installed.

I would not expect that to be successful. Among other things, it is probably not specific for the I777.

Do not use Rom manager. It does not work with the I777, and can cause unrecoverable damage in some cases. There is a sticky post about it here in the forums.
You can find various resources in the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Here's what I would do:
Flash the latest stock Jellybean firmware, UCMD8, from the Repository.
Root using Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit.
Flash the AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel using Mobile Odin Pro or Mobile Odin Lite. You have to extract the boot.img from the kernel zip and flash that, but don't let it boot into system. Instead, you can boot directly into CWM and flash the AJK v 4.9 NoSwap kernel zip, or if you prefer, you can flash some other custom firmware at this point.

Sorry if I want clear. The phones are currently on 2.3.6. I tried using framaroot but it was not successful. The app said it was successful, but there was no supersu after I rebooted. I successfully got the phone rooted using one of the one-click odin flashers posted on these forums that are said to return it to factory + root. I then tried to use rom manager which said it was successful, but wasn't. That makes sense now that you're telling me its not compatible. Ill try upgrading to the JB firmware first, then ill try framaroot. Thanks for the suggestion
I just wanted to update the thread and say that this worked. Thanks again. I'm having an issue getting Gapps flashed but that's another topic. My big concern was that the phones wouldn't charge without boot looping because they had the wrong battery installed. The Stock Jellybean with the kernel you suggested fixed that.

Maybe I could help. What error does it give when you flash gapps?
