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.
Hi everyone,
Im writing because I got in a bit of a trouble installing custom ROMs. I have installed 3 different ROMs, I wanted to try them for myself, and after that my phone does not work. I have researched and I am asking for help because I do not know what caused the error.
What I did:
Install clockworkmod as recovery tool in phone and Cynamongenmod following this tutorial http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9305. ----> Everything works fine except the camera (it is a known issue)
Install paranoid android to see if the camera bug what fixed, (it wasn't) ----> Everything works fine except the camera
Install pacman (pac_i9305-release-20141231.zip) , but i didnt install gapps ----> Everything works fine, even the camera!!
Try to install gapps for the version 4.4.4 to my understand (pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20150208-signed.zip). -----> Clockwork recovery tool says that can not install. Researched about it and flashed Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.3.0
Installed gapps with TWRP -----> Booted pacman but get stuck on error like "can not execute gapps"
Got a bit frightened and installed Clockwork revovery tool and Cyanmongenmod again----> The phone boots but NO PHONE SERVICE WORKING!!, I got in panic
Used the recovery image -----> The phone boots (even the phone service) but I get a error on gapps "gapps stoped"
Installed TWRP again and try to install Pacman rom and give me the errors:
Making sysmlinks....
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: error in /data/media/0/sideload.zip (status7)
Reserached a bit and found: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fix-a-broken-rom-flash-in-certain-kitkat-roms/
Im confused and now I just dont know what can I do to get my phone back to normal, I dont mind it is with the factory version [:'( ] or with a custom rom that works fine [=)]. Thanks in advance to everyone
Thanks for your help in advance =)
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, and flashed with resurrected remixed 8.1
Everything seemed good, but trying to install gapps would fail. Everytime I try to flash something it fails, gapps worked once but did not install play services.
I've never had some many problems, the phone does not have a sdcard. ROM manager is installed, and connected to wifi, but it cannot update, does not say why. I tried to get TWRP to work, now it says the phone is not rooted.
I flash SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822, it says success but there is no super user. SU when I run it says it is occupied.
Tried to wip cache etc, and flash stock or lineage, error 7. Tried to remove assert in the update script, than gives a error about footer.
I know I must be missing something. RR Oreo 8.1, no web browser, going to download and move via usb and install. Any suggestions are welcome.
i just bought the RN5P today and decided to test out some custom ROMs. the Recover and ROM installation went great for the RR and AOSP, but everytime i tried to install the Google Apps Aroma, it's always stuck and went blank then goes to restart the TWRP after the last screen when it says "Install GApps". it's only restarting the TWRP not the device it self. one thing that i notice the second time when i tried to install the Open GApps Aroma, there's error "E:Legacy property environment did not initialize successfully. Properties may not be detected." i have tried installing it with official TWRP and the red wolf one (forgot the name), non is successful. but the official TWRP will give me error encryption thing, and asked me to enter decrypt key and the TWRP needed to be flashed again. is this only happening to me? i enjoy trying custom ROMs, so please help me
This is Redmi Note 5 plus fourm not 5 pro, so ask your question in proper fourm, thanks
Hi,
So I tried to install the Lineage OS for my Samsung S5[G900F] using TWRP and I wiped the system, data, ART cache, and cache of my phone before I install the custom room.
But I got "Updater process ended with ERROR : 1" as the result. The solution that I found online like flashing boot.img in the TWRP mobile app would not work for me because my original Samsung ROM is now deleted and my phone cannot even turn on.
Any solution is much appreciated as this is my first time installing a custom rom on my phone. Thanks in advance for your help.
Look inside TWRP's log file to get the error cause.

Thank you so much for this reply. I read through the log file and found my error. The solution to my error is available at another forum post and now I successfully install the Lineage OS 18.1.
