Maybe the file .zip u are trying to install have some error. Try other ROM

Did you factory reset the phone? eg wipe?

Are you sure CWM was installed correctly and you don't still have stock recovery?

That's a 109 pages thread with several file links. Please, post the direct link to the zip file you are trying to flash with cwm recovery.

Too big for me (1,9GB). Just tell me what files and dirs you see in the root of the zip when you open it.

Anyway, if you want to flash that custom ROM, maybe you should post your question in the thread open for this custom rom in xda. Maybe they have experimented the same as you.

I know perfectly what he wanna do. What bothers me is that he is trying to download one custom Rom of other web and he ask here. Xda have incredible DEVS that creates super ROMS. I see this thread pointless.... and I answered in same way. If I was moderator, i will close this thread simply.

No bro i didnt went to other place the link which i gave is from xda website only. May be i am not explaining it in a proper way. My main problem is i have rooted my s4 . It says yes it is rooted. But when i install cwm and go to recovery i get error that unable to open zip file. This is not my first phone i have been doing this in previous phones but got stuck in this one. The link i have given one of them which i tried but i have tried many. Now what i will try to do is that i will post some screen shots so it might make my concept clear. Sorry to bother u guys.

Then post in a recovery thread like this:

Consider that if you are using correct zip file (sure of this?), the correct procedure explained in the phoenix thread (sure of this?), and it is not a problem of any recovery (sure of this? Can you flash other zips?Try ask there), no more things you can try, except consider install a different rom.

Hey man, I know people are saying in the XT 530 thread that I posted a link to your ROM without permission, but it is not so. I posted the link to another indonesian website from where I got the file. Like I mentioned, I was searching for this rom for warranty purposes and came across this on that particular website. Funny that google and even xda never threw up your post as a search result all this time.
No harm done, I did not repost your link.

ok but support on development for this phone very less info is available on internet for this model atleast we can club all the drivers from best roms and create a package to replace manually into the system.

Here's a quick trick :
Have 7zip on your pc.
Copy systemUi.apk to desktop.
Extract using 7zip.
U'll have the statusbar icons in res/drawable...
Find new png images(any other phone's systemui.apk)
Now open 7zip locate to that .apk and replace all those files with new one.
Replace systemui.apk back into system/app.
Restart the device n u r done.
If u want me to do it for u pm me i'll do it when m free.

ROM problems thread

Hi everyone, I'm making this so that any problems with ROMS can be discussed here, and any associated fixes. This way we don't clutter the actual ROM threads and all the problems/fixes are in one place. :good:
I'll start it off.
I just ported over a 4.1.2 ROM but the soft keyboard FC's literally every 5 seconds. Any ideas? I tried pulling a logcat from the computer and it says "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory
Attached is a screenshot.
I'm gonna try to install a different keyboard from the playstore and see if that one works.

I had that same problem on one of my first ICS ports, just sub it out for any of the working ones on the Shift. Don't forget to switch out the lib too.
I would say the same thing as ryan, as far as the keyboard is concerned.
And as far as the logcat problem, the only time i have ever had that error was when it was a bad flash. Googling the error gives you a bunch of different reasons this error could happen. I doubt it is a kernel problem, as some sites suggests, because I'm guessing you are using one of the kernels we already have and none of the other roms have the same problem. So I would look into one of the other suggestions that pop up when googling.
Yeah, I'll look into it when I get home today. And i know it cant be a bad flash because i wiped 10 times before flashing it.
Sent from my PG06100
Well i think I found the error. I found a post on stackoverflow that led me to the etc/init.d folder...and in one of the files there I found this
Code:
rm /dev/log/main
Now why that was in there, i have no idea. Hopefully that fixes that part and then I'll just swap out the soft keyboard and Latin_ime.so to fix the AOSP keyboard and all should be good....so if all goes well, expect a new port in the dev section :good:

Really easy, replace the apk with one that you know works... For this example we'll use the 4.2 keyboard from my ROM. Delete both the apk and the libjniLatin_IME.so from system/lib. Replace with the working apk and the corresponding lib (libjniLatin_IMEgoogle.so or something close to that) and rezip. If that doesn't work see if you can get a flashable like the Xperia T keyboard to work after boot. If that doesn't work, there is probably a major problem.

Did the logcat tell you anything about the error? Most times it will mention the lib missing. Even if you see it there it may be the wrong version, and you would need to grab it from the port.

Jellybelly Omega stuck
I flashed Jellybelly Omega to the Shift following the instructions to the letter (multiple times now) and it just gets stuck at the HTC screen. I have left it there for an hour or so, because I know that first boot can take a while. But it just sits there on the HTC screen.

Are you s-on unlocked?
If you are you need to
1. Open the ROM with 7zip or winrar and move the boot.img to where fastboot is located and then run this command from fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your not check the md5 sum with the one provided on dev-host. And redownload/transfer if needed
Your stumbling is way better than my searching

1. Open the ROM with 7zip or winrar and move the boot.img to where fastboot is located and then run this command from fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If your not check the md5 sum with the one provided on dev-host. And redownload/transfer if needed

No you should be in bootloader then select fastboot. But that's if your s-on, you never said either way

Download zip of choice
go into cwm
go to mounts & storage
mount system
goto install zip from sd
select zip file & yes to flash
restart
this is the method for any flashable zip except rom zips where you also need to wipe data & system

Doesn't work. Loopboot
(anyway, I did a backup)

Then it's either
not compatible with your rom
or
you need to delete certain files or rename them
ask the developer for more details

Why are you flashing this on a custom rom? Surely it's already rooted

If you are using a custom rom it's already rooted so no need for this
The rom mentioned is banned on xda
See dev thread for roms & read the first post to find out if it's suitable for you

No its not - you are downloading the wrong file from dev-host
Click the Download Now button not the Download button
The download button is an advert which is an exe file (obviously exe is not for Android)
Look what you are downloading before you comment

I did. Obviously an exe file is not for Android (duh..), in fact I downloaded it with a Windows PC... the exe file is a downloader, and it actually downloaded the right file, which is Multi-Root-Installer_Final.zip, but it came with a virus and a lot of crapware (malware/adware). Then you can call it ADVERT or whatever you want, but you still get a virus and a lot of crap.
No SuperSU, Unroot not working

Tried all this on a stock Galaxy Y GT-S5360. I've chosen SuperSU, but I got Superuser instead (which I already had from a previous try, failed). Then I tried to unroot, but nothing happened, I still have Superuser installed and phone rooted.

Like i said - click download now not download and don't use their installer which contains adware
I'm guessing you are not mounting system before flashing a zip
good eve
hi... im jhan a want to ask how to flash multi root installer on my galaxy y? thanks so...
im new here..
It looks awesome and the script starts fine but when it goes to actually do something, it does not change anything and says that the operation was successful.
After the reboot not a thing was changed.
I am using a GT-S5360 galaxy y that I had rooted using a keruk package, I then unrooted it to update the firmware and now wanted to reroot it with superSU using your installer.
Shame it does not work.
Any ideas?
