I'm kinda new to this, how would I go about that?
Also, I formatted the system, cache and data, I'm assuming this is why this has happened, I was doing that because I was installing Cyanogenmod following this method 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271595) how would I do that withopuot making the same mistake I made here?
Thanks guys!

I think i followed the steps correctly, I flashed CWM and did a backup, then formatted the stuff, then the phone would not reboot to unzip cyanogen.

you don't need to reboot
you need to flash it right after those formating
and the file needs to stay as a zip to be flashable so what did u mean by unziping it
also after you flash it won't hurt to wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache

Ahhhhhh, silly me, I think I understand now! Thanks for the help dude!
Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
I'd Odin back to stock and start over.

How do I do that? Will I be able to since I had CyanogenMod 10.1 on before I tried to update?
Also, It would be better if I could just reflash a custom recovery, is there any way to do that?

See if you can find an odin flashable recovery. There's probably one in the development forum. Flash that.

install rom manager and download / flash latest CWM for jfltexx (international which I`m assuming is what you have) and try again
so...
1) Install 4.2, get it running
2) Root device if you haven`t rooted it
3) Download Rom manager from play store
4) Flash recovery for jfltexx (it is only listed after you press menu and view all devices / recoveries)

oke first try with phliz recovery if not than flash a official firmware with odin.
for official firmwares Here
if u want new bootloader install lastest MK or ML series
if u want to stay on old bootloader than install your own 4.2

what are the differences?
DONT ODIN FIRMWARE FLASH 4.3!!! YOU WILL UPGRADE YOUR BOOTLOADER!!! KNOX BAD!!!
Try the official CWM from ROM manager. Trust me.
Go into ODIN mode and if you see knox then you are on new bootloader.
If not, don`t flash a 4.3 image with ODIN. You will not be able to go back to 4.2 easily

So i finally rooted and went into twrp. This is the first rom im installing. Ive done this whole root thing for a little over 4 years now.
I went to do a wipe, system, cache, dav....and its been stuck on "factory reset" for 10 mins now what do i do. did i do something wrong?
formatting cache using make_ext4s function" is what its saying
the phone shut of and i thought it was done for. It did reboot but nothing was wiped. am i doing something wrong here?
normally you just go into the twrp, slide to wipe everything, install rom, gapps, wipe cache and dav and reboot.

Which twrp are you using? 2.6.3.2 has slow wipes...really slow..... But you should wipe cache,davlik,system, and data then flash ROM and gapps if needed then wipe cache and davlik again then reboot!

Crap guessing you don't have a backup......try using koush universal drivers to get your phone recognized...and use adb to sideload a ROM or use adb to push the philz cwm recovery zip to your recovery

If you want to sideload a ROM its easy and I'll guide you through or you can push a zip with adb to your recovery

I have tried various methods to root on Lollipop, but I have not succeeded.
So I returned to KitKat, and then I flashed one version made by me with PRFCreator.
If you're like me, you'll have to reinstall KK, with root and Recovery, to flash the Lollipop Zip.
It's working fine, with root!
Device: XZ C6603
Market: Hong Kong

Hi mate, thanks in advance for your shared work.

It should work with a simple cache/dalvik cache wipe

Works well! Only thing is as max.kasian said earlier, you'll get a boot loop if you try flashing the latest recovery, but that's more a Lollipop thing.

About root - do I need to flash SuperSU or is it just pre-rootet?
If I want to roll back to KK (running Xsistens rom right now), will I have flash an ftf of KK, then flash recovery, then restore my nandroid of my current setup?
I'm just trying to figure out how much work it is if I don't like Lollipop
Anyway - thank you for making this! I'm grateful.

Yes, SuperSU is pre-installed and root is working.
Recovery for Lollipop isn't working yet, so to restore your KK backup you will need to flash KK ftf, root, flash recovery, restore backup.

- Will also need to wipe system. Maybe not data unless you have things like xposed installed which may not be compatible with Lollipop.
- Flash kernel from link (if you want recovery)
- Don't select to wipe SDcard/external storage in recovery and it won't be wiped.
- Recovery is CWM.
Thank you mate
