[Q] Can't Install cyanogenmod based roms anymore - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason, I am unable to flash cyanogenmod based roms.. I am using a T-Mobile S4 Unlocked. I am using the latest CWM. I have attached a picture of the errors. Any ideas? I haven't tried anything because I am even sure what direction to go in.. I have installed CM roms before.. Right now I have the Google Edition 4.2.2 Rom from Jamal installed.

You need to update your recovery to CWM 6.0.3.3

Help upgrading nexus 4 from 4.2.2 to 4.3

Hi, I own a rooted nexus 4 currently running 4.2.2, I just tried to install CM 10.2 and it went to a boot loop, so I restored a backup and its stock again (with cwm recovery)...
What should I do? What can I be doing wrong?
Sergio, computer no work what wrong?
Flash the new 4.3 bootloader and radio using cwm. Then do a full wipe and flash your 4.3 ROM of choice.
Downloads: bootloader and radio.

Do you guys factory reset after flashing CM?
The best way to install is to flash Official CWM recovery from their website (Google Clockworkmod), download .img file and flash with SGS4 FLASHER from Play Store.
Boot to recovery
Go to mounts and storage
format system, data, cache. (make sure you've done a backup of current ROM before doing ths)
Then flash CyanogenMod ROM
Then factory reset
Then reboot
You should be fine
If you get stuck on splash screen it's cool, Just hold power down and try again. You may need to keep doing this till you see CyanogenMod boot animation. I've had to do it 4 times before it would finally boot. It's normal though just something weird with CM10.2 kernel. If you flash a custom kernel it boots fine everytime

Yeah i always factory reset before a fresh install of a rom. So the file is actually 200mb then? Seems a bit strange to me.

I never had problems installing CM.
I have Phil CWM.
I used the option to wipe for a clean install from the CWM and then installed the zip and after that reboot.
I am on cm 10.1.3 RC2 and all is good
I use phil cwm !! I try all the possible ways to format stuff im flashing roms about 4 years now and know how to flash them... But this CM10.2 just doesnt work for me !! I even used twrp but just doesnt work... Once this thing came afater flashin , it was updating apps and after that got stock on starting apps

by updating you are meaning you have already flashed the rom in your GT-I9505. Well, there is always the good old manual way and if your 4.3 ver you can just do the ota.
By manual i mean download the latest stable/nightly release, flash the kernel, install the zip from recovery and wipe according to instructed from the rom dev post.

CWM Samsung Galaxy S4 4.3 install.

Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 International (I9505) and I rooted it properly with Odin.
But now I want to flash CWM for my S4 but all the tutorials on Youtube are running 4.2.2 Android but, I'm running 4.3
Can I still flash CWM or does it matter what version I'm running?
Greetings, Hammief

Yes, you can flash any recovery ie; CWM/Philz/TWRP. Have a nice day.
Okay, thanks!
Which of these recoveries do you recommend?

Personally , ived been using Philz recovery since i had my s2/s3 and the benefits for this recovery would be exFAT and its features ,and exFat can handle larger files than Fat32 since it can only handle with files up to 4gb? but i might be wrong , so please feel free to use another recovery you want

Yeah it's a good download, this always happens when I'm trying to flash a jellybean ROM can it be because I'm on mk2?

Go to Philz thread for your phone.. In the FAQ he tells us how to get past that. It has to do with the updater script and alls you have to do is uncheck the option in recovery that says something like... Use old updater script... Something to that effect. Again read his FAQ and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I had the same thing happening with my phone just a few days ago and that fixes it.
