Flash problems

OK I have a problem. I had a difficult time flashing to DI18, figured out it was the pc not installing all the drives. Got there, went to backed snack 1.6 without a problem. I try anything else and I get the same error no matter what I wipe or anything.. tried DJ29 and DK05 and a few of the custom roms based n those 2 and I end up with can't symlink system/bin/dumpcrash, error at line 6..
I flashed DI18 with odin, fresh, didn't install any apps or sync with google, and same thing when I clockwork.. rom manager won't boot into clockwork, only android.. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? I read someone flashed DJ29 or a DK05 rom over baked snack and I can't seem to find a solution.
Any help is appreciated.. I can't find any topics or posts that offer help or guidance in what to do with errors..

I had that same sot of problem. Rooted the epic flashed clockwork and woudnt boot in to the proper recovery. So here is what I did: with any file manager go onto your sd card and delete the update zip from the sd root directory. Then go into rom manager and reflash clockwork. Then manually boot into recovery by holding down volume down, power, and camera button. This should get you into clockwork recovery.

OK I tried but rom manager wont boot into any recovery now. I still have to boot in manually.. Not a problem, but I tbought booting from RM would be better for installing the .zip. gonna change the battery and try flashing but I am more concerned with how to flash any DJ29 or DK05 rom cuz I haven't been able to no matter what.

Exactly. You HAVE to go to Clockwork from the 3 button boot. STOP using Rom manager.

If you are actually in Clockwork via the 3 button boot (green text) and you can't install a zip, any zip as that is an option to actually choose the zip no mater what the name. THEN you need to re-root the phone

and re-install Clockwork

Also, this is a general topic that should be in the General forum, not in the development section as you aren't developing anything in this thread.

Ok thanks, wasn't sure where it belonged.. I have installed baked snack 1.6 and I can keep doing it no matter what I do, I don't even need to wipe. But anything else won't install. Root is there, I use apps that need it and the only one that has given me problems is root manager about su and not etting permission even though it has permission, so I will removethe permissions and see what happens.
Thanks a lot for the help, it's highly appreciated.

all you need is the zip file and the instructions from the page above. reboot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe data, install from sd, wait, reboot.

Download zip
Boot into clockwork recovery via Droid x bootstrap
Backup first
Mounts/format data/format cache
Install zip from sd card
Find zip...should be in download folder
Install
Reboot.

Thank you guys.

Gbread .588 Install Troubles

Is anyone having issues install .588 where the first zip aborts? I am running stock 340 Froyo, installed DX Clockwork, rebooted into recovery, and then try to install the first zip with no luck.
Steve

are you doing the three part one?
Install Droid 2 Bootstrap, reboot into recovery
Wipe
Install 1,2 then three without rebooting
Reboot and enjoy.

Make sure ur files are complete... And yes per p3s instructions must be stock .340 must be rooted and must use d2bootstrap

No Super User...Su binary?

Just followed instructions for CM7 on eemc with nightly 106 and OC kernel.
Rom Manager says no superuser? So I installed from market and superuser says there's updated binary but can't complete auto install. But it put a .zip on sd card and said to instal via recovery... which puts me back to step 1 which was trying to use ROM manager to write recovery?
What went wrong here and how to fix? Didn't have any of these problems when I did my son's nc the same way last week.

Don't know how to install cwm w/o rom manager. Put my card back to cwm img and tried to flash the updated binary.... says bad?
Guess there's something broke with 106 and su.
Started afresh with cm 102 (as recommended), gapps, and Oc kernel. All is well...
Zeam Launcher
Nook tweeks
Netflix
Netflix fixer
...good for now!

Had the same problem here. I'm away from my Nook right now, but I fixed it by downloading Superuser from the Extras menu in RomManager, then rebooting to recovery via the normal shutdown screen and applying it manually. The zip is in the clockwork folder, in the goo-inside.me folder. Just select it from "*choose zip" menu and reboot.
I may have the details slightly wrong.
Superuser definitely got left out of #106.
Aloha,
cap

Thanks. I had to do the same to get su.
Wondering why is left out of 106.

I am having the same problem... except every time I try to download the new SU binary it says that there was an error and that I should boot into recovery blahblahblah, but when I do it says that there was an error installing the .zip file. What else can I do?

I'm still on 102 no prob. They discuss this issue on the cm thread. Try doing it from rom manager.
Download Rom, extras, superuser...
Then instal from cwm under clockwork/downloads/...and some sub directory.

can't seem to flash rome

Hey guys, I've been having some trouble trying out the cm 10.1.0 RC2 rom on my nexus 4.I have it rooted and currently run stock rom with franco kernel. I have all the files needed, transferred it to the partition, then go into cwm recovery and when I try to flash the zip, it aborts at installation with the dead android and at the top it always says "apply update from .zip fil on SD". I've tried many times but I'm stuck atm. I am hoping someone with experience can help me and hopefully my the morning I can get it working. Thanks for your help, I'm learning as I go along.
Edit: I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1

Bad download?

In recovery are you choosing "Apply update.zip from sdcard" ?
If thats the case you are flashing it incorrectly. You must choose "Install zip from sd card".

Sounds like the problem to me.

Rome wasn't built in a day, thus it will not be flashed in a day.
No but seriously, don't choose apply update.zip from sdcard. Unless you rename your rom to update.zip.

I apologize for the title typo. But to the others responding thanks for your help. I've downloaded the ROM straight off get.cm and in recovery I only select install from SD not apply update, so I'm not sure why it's saying that... I'll give it another shot

EDIT: So I've tried re-downloading and its still not working somehow. I am choosing to install zip from sd card. But after aborting the installation, it'll always say apply update from zip at the top.
I even tried doing an auto-flash with the roms found on rom manager and once in recovery it still aborts installation. I don't understand what could be the problem, can anyone help?

Well that's strange. Do you have any place ai can contact you directly to help you? Like google plus or something?

Try TWRP instead of cwm and see if that allows you to correctly flash the rom.

Hey thanks a lot for your concern, I actually managed to get it to work however, this time I used my phone directly to download the zip files. Before I would get the zip files from the computer and transfer the file by drag and drop using android file transfer. I'm guessing the problem must be around there because I have downloaded and transfered the file many times through my computer.
But either way, at least I know I can download it directly onto my phone and have it work. I'm loving the CM 10.1.0 RC2 now. Though I can't seem to change the cpu freq. they keeping going back to their default values.
