can't install alpha rom v8.6 on my s4. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I am currently running alpha rom v 8.5, and my recovery is TWRP. I downloaded alpha rom v8.6 to install, and every time I try to install, it gives me an error saying cannot open zip file. And then I tried to install v 8.5 back because I was stuck in a bootloop, and it did work. So i dont get why its not letting me install v 8.6. Any ideas? I cant post in his thread since i just register.

TWRP Install over CWM6 for P3113 Galaxy TAB 2 7 inch

I can't seem to find a link for the version of TWRP that will work on model P3113. I have CyanogenMod 10 Rom JB 4.1.1 with Clockwork Mod 6x.
Can I even install TWRP over CWM6 and can I do it in Mobile ODIn Pro? I have that installed.
I also have Goo Manager and cannot figure out why I cannot find or download TWRP from there unless they do not have a version for my Model or that ROM/Kernel?
I am new to the forum so I cannot ask questions yet in the developer sections which is starting to get annoying since I had one or two threads I could have asked this question on.
Thanks
Use goo manager to install twrp.

Use mobile Odin if you have the proper files. Why do you want twrp instead of cwm?

Just wanted to try it. So this brings me back to my first question. Is there a compatible version for the Samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch running cyanogenmod10 latest nightly build?
I Google searched and searched within Samsung forum. I found a version 2.2.1 but I think it was for a hero touch

Recovery has nothing to do with the ROM. Nothing!
I had it saved. I'm a pack rat when it comes to files. Flash it with cwm. http://d-h.st/B1w

Will this version work on the p3113? The linked file is p3110
Thanks
I just thought about what you said that cwm recovery has nothing to do with ROM but according to the guide I used it said I had to use a cwm version 6 with JB. so that is why I mentioned the ROM version because it was based on JB. So would you not think it does indeed play an important role in choosing a compatible recovery?

Developers or tutorial writers list the recovery because thats the one they preffer / use themselves, but most of the time, it doesnt matter which one you use!!
Btw, the reason they say to use CWM6 with Jelly Bean, is because CWM will automatically stop JB from erasing CWM and returning the stock recovery,
but even if you flash with lets say CWM5, you can still remove the script that will undo CWM, but you will have to do it manually (it's an extra step)

Yes. Works fine on any 31xx. I ran it on my 3113 for a while before cwm came out.

Cannot install ROMs with CWM 2.5.1.8 or 2ndInit2.3

Hi,
This is the first time I've tried rooting a device so bare with me :good:.
It's taken me a few attempt to get things working on my Defy MB525 I've managed to root it with SuperOneClick and install either CWM 2.5.1.8 or SndInit2.3 (which uses CyanogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.1). I'm now at a stumbling block where when I try to install a custom ROM on the device I keep getting...
"E:error in /sdcard/*ROM name*.zip
(status 0)
Installation Aborted"
Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just the recovery programs I'm using?
What's the ROM you are trying to install?

I've tried a few now. The latest 4.4 alpha roms by Quarx, CM10 Android 4.1.2 also by Quarx and MokeeOS 43.1 and all come up with error.
Try to wipe the sdcard.
I'm downloading the file on a different computer as maybe the Antivirus on the work PC is messing it about. Also does the class of SDcard make a difference? It's only a class 4 8GB.

No, the class has nothing to do. Use recovery to wipe, and not windows.

For 4.3+ you need to first install 4.1/4.2 first to get the newer recovery.

Right I've just managed to get cm-10-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip to install from Quarx. Will let you know if the install is successful.:good: I would like to eventually install 4.4 KitKat when a more stable release is available.
edit: Succesfully installed . Just got to put Gapps on now.
Just install the zip from SDcard using your current custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that after I flashed with the 4.1.2 Quarx from there was a new bootloader on it. This should make it easier. I had to wipe and start again yesterday because I cocked up the Gapps install. In the end I went with the 30th Oct 2013 build of CM10 by Quarx and got the Gapps from www.goo.im/gapps. All seems to be running fine now and finished setting it up last night.
My girlfriend has a phone she can use now as her old one broke and she didn't want to use the Defy as the data couldn't be switched off on the stock ROM and would cost her a lot on her data plan (500MB a mth). Her Mum got a new contract with a Desire C so the Defy was going spare .

I don't know abt the kernel but I am loving this rom so far. No lags, the UI is perfect fit for the screen and loving some features like DND, IR etc..,
but the only thing missing is the gapps. We need to install separately i think. Loving the Internationalized weather widget too.

Ok there can be different reasons for this.
1.May be a bad download. Try downloading it again.
2.May be you did not clean flash it by wiping cache,system,data. Try wiping everything except internal storage and try again.
3.May be the recovery you are using doesn't support installing this rom. Try TWRP 2.6.3.0 I got it installed perfectly with that.
4.And finally the firmware which you are on. If it is GPE firmware then try switching to sense before flashing this. I had hell lot of problems with GPE firmware like unlocking the bootloader, installing the roms etc..,
May be these are not the reasons for your problem but just give it a try and report back

You get status 7 error only in three cases.
1.You edited the updater script in the rom
2.You did not download the rom properly.
3.Mainly you are not using the right recovery. Try using TWRP 2.6.3.0 or higher may be.

i added a pic from download mode, maybe something might be wrong
Hi,
Good to see you create a separate thread.
With Chinese model, you can only install Chinese stock firmware. You can't install any firmware other than Chinese one unless you use a PIT file.
As the addition, the latest Chinese firmware is I9500ZCUJOH2.

Only use TWRP. The rest is outdated. I don't know which other rom you tried to install but make sure your download is correct. Sounds to me like a bad download.

Thing I forgot, untick Zip signature verification may help in several cases. But if still fails, I would contact the seller instead of flashing anywhere or stay with rooted stock Chinese firmware.

Old CM Version on Note 3?

Can any one help me try to get cm11 on my verizon note 3. I have TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader with root running CM13 but I still want to run cm11 and when I tried to flash the rom, it gave me a updater 7 error. If you know a way to fix this please tell me.

Error 7 is typically a mismatch condition between the fingerprint of the recovery in use and the model of the phone the ROM is intended for - the ROM author puts an "assert" statement in the installer script to prevent dummies from flashing a ROM from the wrong device to a phone.
Assuming you didn't make a mistake downloading the wrong cm rom for the SM-N900V Note 3 this could be a "hlte" vs "hltevzw" issue depending on which TWRP version you have installed.
You can work around this by unpacking the ROM .zip file, deleting the offending "assert" line in the installer script, and red zipping the ROM.

TWRP error 7 typically means you're trying to install the zip onto the wrong device.

Yes if you are using the hltevzw twrp then just flash the hlte generic twrp and u can flash roms that don't require the hltevzw twrp to see the right rom is version is being flashed.
One more question , i am running JasmineRom its 5.0.x CM 11 is 4.x.x Will it work? if i install it?

I don't think so but was wondering since we have an unlocked bootloader, can we downgrade to a developer 4.4.2 rom and then install the cm11?
