Hopefully, you wonderfully knowledgeable people can help with this one!
I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 with no problems and decided to install a Custom ROM, (Omni version 4.4.2). Followed the instructions on a page that the forum won't allow me to post a link of and got to the point of installing the new ROM. It then came up with "Installation Aborted" and "Status 7".
I then found an explanation of how to sort out the problem of Status 7, at which point I attempted to put the edited version back onto my phone, only to realise that my computer and phone are no longer mounted and I cannot access the SD Card. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting with no joy, because I'm stuck in ClockWorkMod it won't show up on my PC.
Now here's the moronic part... I completely missed the big bold lettering of "Before you install a custom ROM, PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP ROM!!!", so I cannot restore to another point.
Any suggestions and feel free to assume I'm a complete idiot when describing any fixes.

Download another stock rom from sammobile switch phone off and flash it with odin then factory reset Done..
You can then start again... By the way status 7 is usually caused by wrong recovery or old recovery.
Use Odin install latest original firmware then root then install latest CWM to get rid of status 7 error

Do we have a repository for Sammy UK ROMs that isn't Sammobile? It's downloading painfully slowly.

You sir, are a gent. Thank you kindly. :good:
Thought we'd got the problem sorted but it seems to not like ArchiDroid, still waiting on the stock ROM to download as there are server problems.
Out of interest, would a KitKat recovery work on a 4.3 ROM?

I had that, it was an older version of CWM causing the status 7, would TWRP help ?

We're all sorted, it was a 4.0.4 CWM installed with a 4.3 ROM. Upgraded CWM and we're good to go! I don't think he's brave enough to attempt a KitKat install after 6 hours of being stuck in CWM, haha.
Thanks again to all that posted. :victory:
As Kalavere says, all sorted! Looks like the key to Custom ROMS is make sure you have the latest CWM!
Thank you all for your help!
yeah this has occured with me when i rooted my s3
i've tried to install a rom but then and totally out of the blue it told me that installation aborted so i became very disappointed and didn't know what to do cuz i've already followed the instructions written in the site

Hi all....
Yes, there are loads of threads on this, but it appears my own specific problem isn't mentioned anywhere and I'm hoping someone can help.
The normal 'update.zip' way or rooting (official) 2.3.3 just doesn't work on my Ace - I get the following error:
Applying Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/h3g/system'
Installation aborted
I think it may be something to do with the three mobile firmware, but can't be sure - is there any way of rooting this so I can use Titanium Backup?
TIA

The last time I tried CWM on my last Ace it totally bricked it! Not compatible, so reluctant to go down that road again unless I know for sure it won't brick it. I was lucky enough to get the bricked one swapped out as faulty as it was less than a week old.....
EDIT: Actually, it was ROM Manager that bricked the phone, but I'm wary of anything with the 'ClockWorkMod' name attached to it!

I think I'll just have to give up as it appears no one else has this problem so it's not likely to be solved.... at least it never got bricked this time...

Ta - what custom ROM's are available, is there a list anywhere? Is there anything actually better than 2.3.3?
I guess since I can't use TB I'd need to reinstall all my apps again if I flashed a custom ROM!! *Groan*
you can try cf-root by ketut.kumajaya
Tried VillanROM (three times) but no keyboard - seems like a common problem with it. Don't think I fancy the cf-root. Too many files available at the bottom of the post and don't know which one to use, plus many pages of problems with it, so I think I'll pass.....
I too own an SGA (2.3.3) on 3 and rooted it using this zip:
http://db.tt/6YsR3WVM
I selected "install zip from sdcard" instead of "install update from sdcard".
Worked first time for me. Hope that helps =)

Thanks to all.
Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!

WOW! that pure stock is a big ole file! lol
Ok, take it easy for a few days. Just read up and, now that you've survived the worst scenerio, you might want to try a more custom rom or other modifications. Pretty soon you will be pulling someone else's a$$ out of the fire. Good luck.
I think I'm okay now. Was a skeerty one though. Lol
Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint
it is presently running ??????? GB, ICS, JB
good luck and let us know if we help

Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525341
The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.

Hi,
I am trying to install a rom on my n7100 for a second time. Trying to move from DN3 to SOKP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700230).
I'm making a clean install. However, while installing from zip I'm getting a status 7 error. I researched all around and found that it is mostly because of the assert section. So i removed it and tried; same error.
I had philz recovery installed, moved to cwm, still same error.
Then I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605730 , where someone flashed original firmware and then flashed new rom; did that, same error.
Tried toggling signature verification; same error.
Now my installation screen looked like this. Can anyone help me with it? I really dont know whats happening.

I'm making a clean install. However, while installing from zip I'm getting a status 7 error. I researched all around and found that it is mostly because of the assert section. So i removed it and tried; same error.
I had philz recovery installed, moved to cwm, still same error.
Then I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605730 , where someone flashed original firmware and then flashed new rom; did that, same error.
Tried toggling signature verification; same error.
Now my installation screen looked like this. Can anyone help me with it? I really dont know whats happening.

Delete some apps or unwanted ringtones from the rom zip then flash the rom..
try to use newest Milestone from SOKP, where is the file saved, on sd-card or internal memory ?
Make sure the ROM zip is completely downloaded/ copies to ur SD card .. An incomplete zip is a common cause of this error, also make sure u're on the latest version of whatever recovery u're using
Sent from my GT-I9300
Thank you guys for your help. yes jinayhvora I used the newer recovery and it worked like a charm.
However latest is not always better as last time while installing DN3 I couldnt get past the terms and condition. Then I downgraded to a previous version of philz recovery and it worked.
There is another problem though, when I restore the nandroid of DN3, it works fine, but when I restore backup of stock, I cant get past the samsung logo.
I thought the backup might be corrupt, but I re-flashed the stock firmware and took its backup; same problem.
Any ideas?
It DOES say in the Installation Instructions that they recommend using TWRP. There's usually a reason why when they say that.

what do you mean by this?
You flashed the stock then restored its backup? and still got stuck? well then maybe, it really is corrupted
Are you using TWRP or CWM now? Try wiping caches after restore. But I dunno DN3 refers to either. Is that stock based or other?

Well, what I mean by this is: I flashed the stock firmware, rooted it, and then took a nandroid backup. I wanted to see if the problem was with restoring the previous copy I have, or with restoring the stock firmware in general.
And when I restored it after a wipe, it still got stuck at the samsung logo. So the problem is with restoring the stock firmware, which is weird. I was using the latest philz recovery, and the stock firmware was 4.3

well, take a new backup now and try if it works..then we can conclude..
I'm curious as to why you aren't using TWRP.

I'm not able to make out whether you're messing with me
the current rom (SOKP) is able to be restored; only problem with the stock rom.

because the backup was made in philz. From what I know, CWM and TWRP have different kind of backup files which cant be restored by the other.. let me know if I'm wrong..
Should I use TWRP to backup now.. You think it'll work better than philz?

sorry didnt see this post earlier.. I'm on philz, DN3 is ditto note 3 rom that I was using; it is stock based.
The backups are not compatible between the 2, but obviously this version of Philz isn't cooperating like it should and since the developer's for DU suggested TWRP, seems like that's next logical step in troubleshooting issues with backing up and restoring in general.

Agreed.. Just to put it out there.. the first backup I made was through Online nandroid manager app, and the second one through philz..
I'll install and use twrp the next time I'm on stock... which I dont think i will be for a long time btw.. enjoying the irresistible ROMs out there

Ah. Never used the Online Nandroid one. Never saw the point and trust the actual recovery to be able to backup better. Less chance of issues.
Hi guys. I've had a rooted S3 for a while and have flashed loads of roms. Few months ago the phone started acting strangely and the only Ron I could get to work was the German version of the original KK. Now, even though the device is still rooted any attempt to flash another room will give a "signature not verified" error. Anyone else come across this?? Cheers

Do you use odin to flash roms or custom recovery??
Custom Recovery... TWRP. Think using Odin might yield some results?
Thanks for the reply btw ?

You can turn off signature verification in twrp it should do the trick bro hit the tnx button if I helped you
Oh cool. Didn't spot that. Using ROM Manager so will have a look at the options. Cheers

Be sure you haven't a borked version of TWRP. I think official 2.8.7.0 is borked.
Try a more recent unofficial one or use Philz touch 6.48.4 instead for instance.
If your recovery is OK, just check options inside twrp recovery about signature verification... Un-tick zip signature verification.
Btw, about root, AFAIK you can flash custom recovery and custom ROMs without being rooted.
You were right. Switched to CWR and it's all good. Cheers.....
