[Q] CM MOD on SGS

Hey guys,
so, a lot of my quetstions will be already posted, but i can´t find them all.
So i hope i annoy no one here ;-).
Ok, now to the important:
I have a SGS until 6 month. over the time i learnd a lot of android and i´m very lucky with them.
Then i heard from cyanogenmod. and all i read about it is great.
i have knowledges about root of linux an so of android.
So, during my research i have a lot of question before i flash my sgs:
- i found only one forum enty where i read i have to format all partitions.
So, how do i flash a sgs?
i have a modded boot rom with root and clockwork mod.
I tried a backup of the system.
the rom manager don´t show ne the cm7 mod for my device.
Do anyone know why? because the RC status?
When i get an error, how can i rollback my firmware with the backup?
Which pc software i need?
my plan ist to flash the sgs with the experimental version, no nightly build.
CWM makes al lot if IMG files. the cm7 zip has only one IMG.
So, i hope anyone can tell some or send my some nice links.
thanks a lot :-D

Boom, that's how it's done folks.

Hey,
thanks guys.
So, can anyone explain me how i can go back to the original rom if i got any probs or even i want?
So, i made a backup with Titanium Backup (premium user) and secondly with CWM.
So, i copied them to my PC.
CWM makes some IMG files. So, how can i rollback them to my device?
Also if i try to create a rom image with the rom manager the recovery manager makes a error.
:-D
So, i get by saving my rom the following error:
-- Installing package ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Why do the rom manager want to install a package by making an backup?
PS: i have the rooted bootloader: PDA_XXJVK_Sbl.tar installed.

to revert back to you need to revert to a stock rom. using odin and a full PDA froyo will do the job.

Hey,
so u mean, i have to download the offical rom and install them over odin.
then i have to root them and install CWM and reverse the backup.
is that right?

Flash Cyanogen over CWM

Hello,
i got a problem, i want to flash cyanogen over CWM. At first i flashed my phone to another Firmware, i used the tutorial.
The flash worked and now i want to flash cyanogen over CWM, but all time i got this Message in the recovery:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Someone can help me please??
I got the following building on my Samsung Galaxy S
Firmware-Version: 2.3.6
Basisbandversion: I9000XXJVU
Kernel-Version: [email protected] #2
Buildnummer: GINGERBREAD.XXJVU
It was my first time, that i flashed my phone, i wish someone can help me.
P.S.: my english is not so good

Redownload cm and try again

I did, but it still not work and show me all time the same fail :-(

Try removing your external sdcard and then going into CWM

you are trying to flash an unsigned zip in stock recovery. the stock recovery checks if the zip is signed. if it is, the recovery applies the update. but the zip you are flashing is not signed, so it checks the zip and cannot find a signature. then it aborts the installation.
your solution is to flash a custom kernel, for example Galaxian. after flashing install the zip again, it will work like a charm
if you have any more problems, don't hesitate to send me a PM in German

I wrote you a message Noobproof, hope you understand

Unnable to initialize phone: Only Clockworkmod Working

Hi all,
I was trying to update muy PA 3.99 to the latest one. Then I did the factory reset and then tried to install it. When I tried to install pa_mako 4.3 - Beta 3, it says that there was an error:
Warning: No file_contextsset_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /sdcard/0/pa_mako-4.3-BETA3-20140506.zip (Status 7)
Instalation aborted.
I already realized that the problem is that I need to update the Clockworkmod b4 doing this. But now my phone won't boot untill home screen... it always goes back to the CWM screen.
I have tried to restore the latest backup, but it says MD5 mismatch.
Also, I can't access my mobile using USB, even with the proper Drivers installed (it won't get recognized by windows).
I am lost.... can anyone help me?
I already tried the Nexus toolkit, but i dont know what is going wrong that it also can't connect to my Nwexus 4.

Desperate mode off haahhaha
Just followed this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/guide-ultimate-nexus-4-root-guide-t2018179

You can flash/update clockworkmod while fastboot mode, and then reflash your rom.

Did you installed the usb drivers? Did you tryed to reflash some other rom before 4.2.2
Btw check also device manager or its connected.

Error executing updater binary in zip (TWRP)

I'm getting this error when trying to flash lollipop roms. I can flash Kitkat roms fine as I'm currently running xdabbeb VS982.5 1.0.0 (G3 rom), but it won't let me flash any lollipop rom. I installed twrp via the autorec program which installs 2.7.0.0 then I updated twrp within twrp with the flashable zip.
Please help
Thank you

Anyone?

Seriously no one knows? What is everyone else using that is flashing the latest 5.0.2 roms?
What am I getting this error?
Please help

Possible Fix
I've also had this problem. The only way I can seem to fix it is to also download the .md5 along with the rom itself. Just make sure its in the same folder as the rom. Everytime I have that problem with TWRP this seems to fix it. Let me know if it works for you!
Edit: Also I forgot to mention, if one isn't available to download I can help with that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. If there is no. Md5 what do I do then?

All you need to do if it comes to that is download an md5 checker on your computer. Just curious, what rom are you trying to flash?

I tried resurrection remix and liquid lollipop roms. I had no issues with the initial 5.0 lollipop roms so I'm not sure what changed with 5.0.2.
So the md5 checker generates the .Md5 then you just put that on the SD card with the rom?

Resurrection remix should have an md5 on the download page right below the rom itself.

Can you point me to the program to use on my computer? Do I just load the .zip file in the program to generate the .md5sum file then put both the zip and the .md5sum file on the sdcard before flashing?
Thanks

Nope, I downloaded the md5 file along with the zip and I'm still getting the same "error executing updater binary in zip".
Any other suggestion? How is no one else having this same issue? I'm using the latest version of TWRP 2.8.3.1 probably like most people. I don't understand.

Try to reflash the TWRP.. or maybe is something wrong with the zip file
Use the TWRP compiled by blastagator

Nope, still getting same error with latest twrp.

Finally got it working. I downgraded TWRP to 2.7.0.0 and the lollipop roms are flashing fine now.
Thanks everyone for your help.

@[email protected] i think kk aosp room need jb bootleader

Hello everyone,
I am running a D802 on stock Lollipop and installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 via AutoRec. Now I booted into recovery, wiped System and Cache and got the Error message when installing CrDroid (Marshmallow 6.0.1). Now I tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0, which succeeded and then downloaded the twrp 2.7.0.0 zip to try that as the ROM still wouldnt install. But it wont install the older TWRP. So I am asking for help to either
1) Install TWRP 2.7.0.0
or
2) Delete the getprop lines from updater-script (after I removed them I get an error 6 so i probably removed too much?)
Thank you in advance
(Guide for Error 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762)
EDIT: Someone said installing another Kernel might allow installation of the ROMs. Which Kernel could work for my phone?
EDIT 2: When flashing TWRP 2.7.0.0 it says "assert failed: run_program("/tmp/loki.sh")==0". So what exactly am I missing on my phone? Is Loki the MM Bootloader?
EDIT 3: Could it be that the build.prop was deleted when I wiped system? Would be weird if that was the cause, but I simply dont know..
Edit: Booted in Downloa Mode and flashed v30D KDZ with the 2014 LG Flashtool. Works with Stock ROM for now

[Q] [CM12] [D802] TWRP Error while Updating CM: ZIP File is corrupt!

Hello guys, since I've installed CM12 I've been getting errors from TWRP when flashing CM updates.
I had a Nexus 4 and when I installed CM updates it usually rebooted to recovery and then TWRP would install it automatically, but it's not happening on my G2 D802. I have TWRP 2.8.5, installed with Autorec before flashing CM12 for the first time.
Error log says shortly after I start to flash CM updates:
E: ZIP file is corrupt!
E: Error installing zip fie '/cache/recovery/block.map'
Then it goes on and finishes flashing and it says successful, in fact it always works, but should I be concerned? Am I doing something wrong or it has something to do with the bootloader? I've read somewhere that you had to downgrade the bootloader in order to flash, but also read somewhere that autorec does that for you. I've also read that it could have been that I was using an old recovery, but I'm using the latest, I don't know what it could be...
Thanks in advance

No, wait. I got the same issue with BUMPED TWRP, please install the classic OpenTWRP 2.5.0 (not bumped) and you will upgrade the system without any issue.
Buona giornata, stammi bene e buon modding!

I'm using normal TWRP, downloaded latest versione from its website, I'm not using the bumped one.

cm 12 corrupt update and wifi problems
I have the same problem as u do! And when I leave my home wifi, and later return to it, I have to reboot the phone in order for it to connect to the home wifi again... In the wifi settings it says either "Connecting" or "Saved".
I would be very grateful for any help!

Same happens here, it installs fine, I just have to do it manually. I'm on TWRP v2.8.5.0.

Same here,I have to flash the zip manually.
