ROM installation aborted when checking permissions - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I tried installing ogo2's Gingerbread/HTC Sense ROM using clockworkmod, but it couldn't format SD-ext (too big I think - 2gb), then after installing the ROM for 3-4 minutes it said checking permissions, then installation aborted. What can cause this to happen?
To add insult to injury I couldn't restore any of my Nandroid backups because there was an 'error writing boot.img'. I flashed B 0.8, and enabled data2ext, then all my apps came back as the SD-ext couldn't be formatted. However, many of these no longer open so I'm having to reinstall them.
My question is what can cause the problems above? Especially the checking permissions one. Also, I'm using BlaY0's customized clockworkmod 3.0 in case that matters.

How many times did you try to install?
I've had it too, but 2nd time I tried, it installed as it normally should.

[Q] CM7 RC1 upgrade issues and questions

I tried flashing the Rom yesterday and was successful. The issues I had revolve around restoring my apps. I used My Backup Root for stock to Froyo, but this time it seemed as though the apps were on the phone and the card, which cause an error stating that I didn't have enough memory. What should I have done to restore the apps to preserve the memory? I also received force close error for SetCPU, SlideIt (which I love), and a few others.
Also, what is the benefit of partitioning my sd card and does doing so erase it's current contents?
Lastly, are the nightlies a full rom or just part that needs to be flashed? If found some on CMs website, but not here.?
Yes, I'm a NOOB.

Regarding your nightly question, they are full ROMs...the difference between them is the code that was committed within the previous 24 hours. Of course that also means that, in theory, some of the nightlies could be 100% the same...anyway, the nightlies can be a beautiful thing or a disasterous thing...usually if there's an issue with a nightly it is quickly found by those who flash each nightly and it is brought up around 3.2 million times and it is typically fixed by the next nightly.
Partitioning usually does mean a wipe of data on the SD. Careful!
When I upgraded to a 32GB flash from the stock 2GB from my Aria, I backed up the entire contents and restored on the new one. Apparently there is volume information stored somewhere (not sure where) and the phone couldn't recognize the card and asked me to partition it.
Because I had a backup, I decided to do so, but instead of partitioning for the entire size of the chip, it partitioned only 2GB!
So I had to stick it into a reader and repartition it manually and then selectively restore music, etc back on the card.
After that it worked just fine. So short version: yes it does.

You will need to creaate an sd-ext partition to fix the issue of installing (larger) apps with CM7.
The best way would be through ROM Manager.
wifi
Installed the RC2 and can't connect to a hidden SSID wifi network.
That is a known issue with the wifi driver on cm7 thus far. Not sure if it will be corrected though. Anyone else know if it is in the works?
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
I believe if you flash to nightly 14 all will be good, not 100% sure though.

As far as I know there are no plans to change it. But then again we weren't supposed to get fm radio working either...

Great input from everyone. Thanks! Following up on the sd-card partitioning... I have a new 8g card and want to more to CM7. If I partition it, what happens when I restore the backed up app using My Backup Root? And, what is the best partition configuration, why, and what info get store in each section (ext)?
Thanks...

The easiest way to partition is using your ROM manager.
Just select the max size for SD-EXT (I think it would got to 512MB), and none for swap.
I'm not sure if this would have any effect on your backup - I myself started out from scratch and got my apps from the market even though I had made an Astro backup...
You will store all your stuff - music, pictures etc in the normal partition. The SD-EXT will be automatically handled by the phone.
Tried flashing Nightly 22 on my Aria from 17. I spent a lot of time customizing 17. Is there a way to keep all of the old home screens? Also, GPS lock isn't working for me. Using MyBackup Root for Apps, but it seems to duplicate the apps?

You should be able to flash each new nightly without losing any of your settings/customizations/homescreens and apps.
While upgrading from ROM manager, just check the backup option, don't check wipe data and cache.
I can confirm this works transitioning from 14 to 22 because I just did it yesterday night
As for the GPS problem, thats a known issue - the workaround is to make a nandroid backup of your current cm7, then do a complete phone reset, then do a nandroid restore of cm6 or 6.1 (hope you have one), do another factory reset, and restore your cm7 from the backup you took in the 1st step

first of all, i would never suggest using rom manager for things such as that. historically it has only caused problems and has been more of an inconvenience than anything. second of all, when you boot into CWM and do it the right way, don't wipe data, it's suggested but not necessary that you wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom and you'll be good.
Thanks to both of you. Big help and not deleting the data did the trick. Looks like I'm good to go and GPS is working well again. Is there a way to ensure I don't have duplicate apps taking up space on the card and phone? I'm getting errors on moving some apps to the sd card.

Not all apps can be moved to the FAT32 partition on the SD card. Widgets also, won't work properly if moved to the SD FAT32.
If you need more memory, look into (read up) partitioning your sd card with a ext3 partition and installing S2E or Dark Tremor a2sd (DT a2sd).

Oh, I had no idea about that, thanks for the info.
I've been using ROM manager without any problems so far, apart from one lately, that when I reboot to recovery, I always get an error screen - exclamation mark in triangle...but I just pull the battery and reboot into recovery manually and it starts whatever command I had given it (backup/new rom) automatically...

[Q]Boot problem after recovery - ICS & CWM

I've encountered weird problem: The phone doesn't boot (got stuck on bootanimation) after nandroid recovery from CWM. I've tried recoverying it over fresh install of same ROM or over formated partitions, but neither of it works. I'm using CWM v5.0.2.0 and trying to recover hephappys PRE4.
Is this caused by some incompatibility of CWM and ICS?
No, cwm 5.0.2.0 is working with ICS, using it currently (haven't tried using backup/restore, but it shouldn't cause any problems imo).
So, what exactly are you doing? Trying to restore an earlier cm9 backup? Try wiping all, including system and boot, before restoring.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
Yes, I've made backup before messing with my ROM and it just fails to recover. I've already tried to wipe everything.
Is there any tool for viewing backup files on Windows? I guess that the file is somehow broken.
Is there any way how to get calls and sms from this raw data?
Here is boot logcat: https://gist.github.com/2603614

have the same issue with cwm...
recommand u to use amonra...gwtting best with it
When I was on cm9 and restored my cm7 backup=same thing(yes, I wiped everything)
Well, that backup image is somehow corrupted as it cant be correctly deployed. At least I've managed to extract SMS, the rest is not so important for me.
CWM is pretty much useless when it creates backups which can't be used for recovery...
I don't think that there is a specific problem with CWM and ICS- I have been making backups and recovering quite often ICS builds (including hephappy's pre4) in the last weeks, no problems so far (knock on wood ).
Do you have other/older backups that you can try to recover and see if you get stuck at bootloop?
What about reinstalling the build from scratch- just to see that everything boots? You can later try either restoring your original backup (the one causing you problems), or using TiB or similar applications that can extract applications+data from nand backups.
Could the backup file got corrupted somehow? I don't remember CWM having some inherent checking of md5 before restoring backups (I could be mistaken, as I have never had a bad nandbackup with the P500 phone so never noticed anything weird). For example, I used to have an HTC MT4G with 4ext touch recovery which would always check md5sum and let the user know if backup was corrupted, and I did got a corrupted backup file once.
Back to topic- If anything else fails and you can't recover, maybe try to copy the backup to a different sdcard? Perhaps it's a shot in the dark but worth trying, just in case the problem is in sdcard?
Older backups are only CM7 and they are working flawlessly. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't byte-level error as MD5 check passed on that image. It's more likely the recovery "forgot"/wasn't able to recover some files in /data partition.
Later I've tried to install some fresh ICS, did some changes (configuration + apps), backuped, wiped partitions, then restored and everything worked , so it's definitely not a general CWM problem. It's probably a bad luck, when you really need the backup, it just corrupt itself to annoy you...
As I wrote, I've managed to retrive my SMS and that's enough for me. I don't trust that image so I will install fresh apps via Appbrain and do the new setting by myself (I wanted to make some chcnges to phone configuration, this is just the right moment) .
I have never had much luck with the CWM recovery system. It's really buggy and sometimes only restores select partitions. Or if it couldn't mount the drive at the time of backing up, sometimes it just refuses to tell you or tells you but you have to start the backup over..
Like said above, I would try Amonra. It's a far better recovery and it has almost no bugs to speak of
Cheers mate.

[Q] CM 10 apk install from SD

Upgraded to CM10. I did an SBF (2.3.4) wiped everything and installed CM10 Alpha 2 and GAPPS (jb-10121011). So far the only issue I have (other than know issues):
After getting CM10, GAPPS, Bootstrap Recovery installed, I used Titanium to restore most of my apps, but wanted to do a clean install on Flash Player. So went in found the apk using my file mgr, selected "install", went to what I call the Android Install screen with two buttons at the bottom (Cancel & Install), tried to select the Install, nothing happened. I do have "Unknown Sources" checked in Security. I have tried other apk's just to test and none seem to work. Tried to move the apk's to the SD0 card, and that had no effect either. I figure I am missing a setting somewhere, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
I havent had this issue and I dont know of anyone else with this issue. Thats weird. What happens when you press install? It just stays on that screen and doesnt proceed? Maybe just restart your phone and try again.

I did try a reboot and a power off, neither seem to work. I did use the new GAPPs when I did this CM10 install, so I even thought about going back and using the jb-20120726 gapps I had installed with my last CM 10 install, but figured the new ones were out for a reason and that may not be a good idea. So right now looks like the only way I can install anything is from Play Store. Even tried AppInstaller from Play Store and it did no better than the File Mgr.

I dont think the Gapps would have anything to do with it. Those are just google apps. The system handles the file installations. But who knows, maybe it does have something to do with it. I've just never heard of that issue before.

Yeah after thinking about it think you are correct. This is based on the fact that I installed CM10, then the GAPPS, then installed the Bootstrap (CM7) which was an apk, so it worked then. After that I restored apps from Titanium and flashed a "softkey zip", so I am going to Nandroid back before the softkey flash and see what happens. If needed I will just start over.
Thanks for your thoughts

If you did install the bootstrap then something after that definitely messed with it. I wouldn't think its the soft key mod though because I also have that installed and I can still install apks.

still not sure what happened, but somehow the SD Cards were swapped. The SD0 Card was my external card and the SD1 was the internal card. I discovered that just before I decided to to SBF and start over. I am back at CM10A2 and at this point everything looks good. Still not sure what happened, but I will not be using Titanium to restore apps this time.

How did you get the SD Cards swapped. Thats usually what people want. lol. And restoring apps with Titanium Backup isnt bad. I do it all the time. Im thinking you might have restored SYSTEM data. Which could explain why it set your SD Cards that way. Never restore system data. I find it not that hard to reset whatever system setting you had previously anyway.

didn't think I did a system data restore, I know that is VERY BAD when changing/upgrading ROMs, but who knows I may have hit a wrong button. Anyway it is working now and I am in the process of setting up the apps, which will probably wait until tomorrow since I have the basics all working.
thanks again for your help

Really weird wifi problem and mmcblk0p37 error

When I'm on the old CM10.1 ROM, my Rezound detects and connects to my house's wifi and other wifi sources with [seemingly] no problem, and I can access the web pages on chrome when I'm connected to wifi on the old CM10.1 ROM. However, when I flashed to CM10.1.2, and I'm on the starting set up page, trying to connect to a wifi, no wifi source ever pops up, even when my house's wifi is on and there are usually 1-2 other wifi sources in my area that should also pop up. I wait for over 10 minutes, and still no wifi source appears on the starting set up page for cm10.1.2. Additionally, now, when I'm on the old CM10.1 ROM, I can't download any updates or new apps from the play store at all. I was able to download google drive on my rezound only a week ago.
Anyways, the recovery I use is AMON RA-VIGOR-v3.16, and I noticed in amon ra that when I try "Wipe ALL data/factory reset", I get this:
Wipe ALL userdata
Press Power to confirm,
any other key to about.

Error mounting /internal_sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...

And that's it. What does this mean? just a couple days ago was the first time I flashed a new ROM on my Rezound for a month, and I think this "error mounting internal_sdcard/.android_secure" started when I flashed the first new ROM in a month. Is there anyway to fix this error and problem? I would really like to keep my Rezound and not have to buy a new phone... I would be happy to provide additional information if it would help solve this problem.

try switching to twrp and erasing in that recovery, you can switch back to amon ra right after that if you want to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
most mounting errors are fixed by either switching to a different recovery to reformat/partition the partitions (amon ra is a bit outdated, i used it in the past and and got mounting errors to. mostly after RUU and tried to install a ROM right away)
they can be fixed by running the RUU again, if you still get mounting error in amon ra after the RUU than all you have to do is reboot into the stock ROM and unmount and erase the sdcard in the storage settings than go back to recovery and it should be fixed

Thank you, bunchies. I never heard of TWRP prior to your response, so I appreciate it. I flashed TWRP version 2.6.0.0 with no problem and did the standard wipe first, which gave me an error and said it failed to wipe. So I went to the advanced settings in wipe and checked all tick boxes except the 'wipe ext sd' check box, and it was successful! I did it 2 more times to try to make sure it was successful. I decided to try to install the July 12 2013 build of CM10.1.2, and then the GSM patch and gapps, but it came out with the same problem of not recognizing any wifi sources within the vicinity like 2 days ago. When I downloaded CM10.1.2 2 days ago, I made sure to check its md5 sum, and it was equal to the one provided. Then I modified it by replacing its mms.apk, copied the resulting ROM to my rezound's root, and checked each others md5 sums, which where again equal. So I flashed amon ra v3.16 again and wiped everything and this time I didn't encounter ANY mounting error. I NAND restored my old back up of cm10.1 and tried to download google drive from google play....but it didn't work again...The error message I get in google play is this:
"Google Drive" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])
When I try to download Rezound Prox Sensor Calibrator, the same exact error message pops up (except inside the quotation marks in Rezound Prox Sensor Calibrator). And still, browsing the web on google chrome works like it should.... what can I do next to try to fix my rezound?
*edit* nevermind about the google play store problem. I went to settings>apps>all, cleared the cache of "google play store" and force stopped it, and cleared the data of both "google play services" and "google services framework" and force stopped both (though I've read that I probably don't have to do all that to google play services). I rebooted and for some reason, I can download and update from google play again. The problem of wifi not ever being recognized for me after I flash to the July 12 2013 build of CM10.1.2 still exists, though.

Was this nand backup made during the time of mounting error, or during the time of the wifi problem?
the DATA folder may be corrupted in some way, i have had an issue before where i had a problem with my current rom than did a nand backup of just my data folder because the data folder holds things like apps/setting and other stuff which i didnt want to loose in my new flash but something in there can be corrupted. but after i would re-install the rom and did a nand restore of the DATA folder i would get the same issue in the new flash.
so if you did something like that it could be messing with your wifi
if you did something like that and you have time maybe just do a Nand backup of what you have now. than factory reset/wipe boot/data/system/caches and install the rom again without restoring anything and see if the wifi works as intended
if that makes any sense.. :silly:

The nand backup I'm using right now was a backup I saved over a month ago (in June 6). The nand backup I made 2 days ago I think was corrupted (though i don't remember what it did anymore...I didn't think it was important at the time...), so I deleted it. In any case, every time I flashed the new rom, I never nand restored the "DATA" part. I didn't even know you can do that! Is DATA also where all text messages are saved? Anyways...nope, I haven't been nand restoring DATA after flashing the new ROM. I even tried flashing CM10.1.2 by itself without the gapps and gsm patch, but it still didn't recognize any wifi in the area.

Edit: if a clean flash of ROM/gapps didn't work it could either be the ROM has a broken driver or hardware. Could be something els to but not sure, you can keep an eye on that thread to see if he gets his problem fixed if you want

Was the problem pinned down or resolved? I'm on an SIII, but experiencing a very similar problem.

[Q] What's wrong with my SGS3 and Google Play services

For last couple of days, Google play services has been throwing up an error dialogue on my phone that it has stopped with OK and Report Button Although there doesn't seem any downside for it, except for its annoyance that I have to click OK , the error comes up randomly. For hours it might not come but it can also come up many times in an hour. Screenshot of what is contained in crash report is attached
Anyway, first I thought my ROM had corrupted. So, I wiped everything and re-installed a new ROM. However, the error didn't go away, again it will come up randomly. So I thought it was due to f2fs format since I had formatted /data, /data/media and /cache partitions to f2fs using arter97's recovery (I was using his kernel also). So I formatted them back to ext4, also changed my recovery back to philz's and installed stock CM rom. But again the error started coming
So I thought maybe it was due to I had been restoring apps via Titanium Backup which is causing the issue. So I stopped restoring apps, however It didn't work either, I was still getting the error. I started flashing many different ROMs (CM, omni, aosp, custom touchwiz) , gapps combination's (banks, 0day PA, others), factory resetting 10s of times, using MegaWipe script to format everything, removing the memory card permanently, however the error is still coming.
So in the end, I flashed stock samsung 4.3 ROM via ODIN and did a factory reset, however the error is still coming
I don't know what else to do ? Is my phone NAND corrupted ? Is there any test I can do to make sure ?
Please suggest..
