Hey guys. I just updated my Legend to the newest stable CM (with dalvik wipe, using ROM manager) and it freezes upon booting. I can get to recovery mode and I have ADB.
What do I do ? Is there a way to flash a ROM using ADB ?
It's been a long time since I worked with this stuff.
I don't think you can flash from ADB.
I suggest try to download the Cyanogen 7.1.0 rom again and check the MD5 after to make sure it is intact, I downloaded directly onto my phone then used ES file manager to check the MD5 # I had to download a few times because the MD5 # was not correct.

A quick question in your method, did you ONLY wipe the Davlik cache or did you wipe the system as well? I think you will have to wipe system & davlik when flashing a different rom.
How do I find out if md5 is correct or not ?
More importantly, what do I do after I donwload it ? It's not like I can do anything with the phone now, except get to recovery mode and control the phone via ADB in recovery mode.
And I only wiped dalvik cache.
I have help out someone with a similar issue here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18597552&postcount=2
If you want to check MD5 # on the computer goto google and search for a MD5 file checker, ok you might want to know what MD5 is? its a check sum, the correct check sum is on the same page you downloaded on the cyanogen website.
if you know adb commands then you could always "push" the rom zip file to the sdcard on the phone, then flash it using CWM you'll need to wipe system and davlik at the very least.
First try to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvikcache.
Reboot and it must be OK.
If it doesn't work download again cm7 stable, and flash it again with the 3 wipe.
I did a "clear storage" from HBOOT, but it didn't work.
When I get into recovery, I get a screen with a red exclamation mark. I guess that means I don't have CWM recovery. I have the files on my SD card, but htey have been copied from my previous one.
So I guess I'll need to flash CWM again...
You must have used fake flash to flash the rom correct?
Boot it into recovery and press the vol up button and the power button together ok?
It might give you an error once but press it again and again and you'll get into android recovery ok
Then go to install update.zip and cycle down to it using vol up and down buttons and the power button to select ok
Then it should load up clock work mod and you can use the trackpad now
Select mounts and storage and select mount SD card
Then connect USB and put the newly downloaded rom on your phone and once it's completed go back and go into advance settings I think... And do wipe cache and etc... Then go on install from SD and select your rom
Hope it helped
I flashed the ROM from ROM manager. I had CWM, but I don't anymore, because I changed SD cards. I have come to the point where I only need the goddamn update.zip file, but I can't find it anywhere and I think I'll go mad if I don't find it NOW
EDIT: Ok, I found it. At least I did a backup of my previous SD card....

Cant mount system huh?
I believe you are getting this error because you are coming from stock. Update the phone to another rom like JellyBean 4.1 and then try to flash this then.
Still no go

if he's having a problem coming from stock, then its either or. attempted a flash from Slim Bean 4.2, having same issue...
try from stock again(odin-flashed+re-partitioned), flash cwm-fixed-for-cm7(odin-flashed, do NOT RE-PARTITION!), flash the kernel in the cm11 OP(it will boot into TWRP recovery; note DO NOT FLASH A TWRP-INJECTED ROM FOR TWRP TO APPLY ONLY THE RECOVERY, IT WILL CORRUPT /SYSTEM AND /DATA PARTITIONS AS IT WAS MOUNTING THEM BEFORE THE TWRP RECOVERY INJECTION REBOOT!!, THUS HAVING ERRORS WHEN FLASHING!! TO FIX RESTORE ANY WORKING TWRP BACKUP, OR USE ODIN TO START OVER!! ), (did over-killing CAPS LOCK make it look important enough to remember) XD, anyways...
when in TWRP flash the following(as all checked with a blue "x", incase u dont use TWRP much):
-data
-cache
-dalvik-cache
-system
flash the newest version in @Unjustified Dev 's thread for (unofficial) CM11(as its the rom u are currently having troubles with, and u had a glitched version where the update-binary was not signed all the way in his rom, as if u look at the difference in the binary from it and the newer rom version, it didnt transfer all the way), then the special GAPPS in one of the comments ON A SEPARATE FLASH!, or goto paranoid-android's forum and flash the newest Modular-mini 4.4 GAPPS AGAIN!! ON A SEPARATE FLASH!,, then any mods/add-ons u want(can be on same flash as GAPPS, along with any other additional zips, with the exclusion of data restoring ones like Titanium-Backup-made "update.zip", as that will only restore the system-apps at the moment as it requires data partition to be setup, e.g. first_boot=completed_successfully, then u can goto recovery and flash it for a quicker data recovery)
the only reason why i didn't tell u to make a backup is cause when u flashed the kernel to get the TWRP, its an incompatible kernel for stock, but if u are on a rom u like, make a backup for it first, then flash to stock for a cleaned-out partition, i always suggest making regular/routine backups(about every 3-7 days, or when trying a new rom/Rooted-or-flashed-mod)+(and routinely deleting/cleaning older ones, or ones u don't use), or at least update the titanium-backup-made "update.zip" for faster data recovery(DO NOT INCLUDE SYSTEM-APPS BUILT WITH THE ROM INSIDE THE ZIP, AS SOMETIMES IT WILL OVERLAP THE ROMS ZIP AND CAUSE SOME ERRORS, SAME WITH ITS DATA!!) (opps caps-lock of remembering again, where did that come from)
note: in case u(the OP, or others who see this comment) the key-combos(or requirements) for the following partition loading(s) are:
-(ANY)recovery = Volume_DOWN+Volume_UP+Power
-Download-Mode = Plugged into USB-Cable(From AC(Wall-Adapter), DC(Car-Port)(may or may-not work, as it only did for me literally twice since ive owned the phone XD), or Computer(USB-Port( duh )))+Vol_DOWN
-System= (any other combination, as long as POWER is pushed down for ~2-5 seconds (and other partition combinations are not pressed+held after the second "samsung" popup, and/or for two consecutive "samsung" popups or more in some cases)
ADB Commands for rebooting partitions arenon-adb-shell-based, as in shell there is ALOT more ways u could do it)
-System (method1)= adb reboot
-System (method2)= adb reboot system
-Recovery (method1) = adb reboot recovery
-Recovery (method2) = adb reboot-recovery
-Download = adb reboot download
-POWER_OFF = adb reboot -p
Glad if i could be any help with this mini-thread comment now that i see the length XD but i tried to be through and user-friendly as i could think XD if u have any other things wrong or needed to know, feel free to ask on here =)

im not trying to sound like a [email protected]$$, but if u look into the errors on the thing, like alot of systems it usually tends to load from top-to-bottom, and in that specific version build it was the update-binary not signed all the way in the transfer in sign-apk (notice the first error, "e:error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard", and without the binary even if the recovery is compiled right for the phone model(e.g. with the right partition labels for system, data, cache, etc, it wont be able to know for the specfic code to use it by without the binary that is unique for each individual phone(in the update-binary file), by my observations in the systems used anyways =S, cause i manages to fix that specfic zip later after downloading the newer version, just for testing of THAT error, and replaced the update-binary and re-signed and it worked =)

thanks for this, I spent longer than I should have before asking for help.
I have no problems flashing pre 4.4 roms, I am not a developer, and I am stuck
odined back to stock
flashed just the kernel
booted into twrp and then it gets messy
if I advanced wipe cache, dalvik, system data .......it fails
I can factory reset but any wipe after that fails
I know persistence is key, but ive been at this for a while and went back to stock like four times.........any insights?

after it fails the 1st time, can you reboot to TWRP? if you can, wipe davlik, reflash the rom.

yes, flashing the kernel is successful, but the wipe is not going well. when I advanced wipe either all four together or starting with the sysystem (one at a time) I get red letter failed.
thought maybe it had something to do with mounting so I tried a 16 gig class 10 chip instead of the 32 gig chip. no difference.
Im not giving up but am going to rtry ri go from stock to helly, to kit kat and see if that makes a difference.

-odin to stock (or GeeWiz odin from its thread) (dont forget to repartition)
-!!!!!!BOOT THE DEVICE ONCE!!! OR /system + Data PARTITIONS ARE NOT MADE!!!"
-(after that if odin'd from GeeWiz go in its recovery and convert partitions (labeled volumes) to efs not ext4)

-go in the recovery then flash the kernel (as u were in a cwm based recovery it will update to TWRP)
-When booted into TWRP do the ALL wipes (except SDCARD)
-Flash Rom ONLY IN THIS ZIP QUE!!! (NO GAPPS!)
-Flash Gapps+other .ZIP packages
-Reboot /system and watch the first boot =)
Sorry i wasnt as clear, but sometimes its faster with the GeeWiz odin since it is already 4.2.2 + comes with boot.img + bootloader from Gingerbread/ISC/JB (as its the same), it only seems to take longer from the convert partitions (rfs) step, buts its easier in the long run =)
I have a spare fassy and just successfully flashed 11.1. Heres what I did.
Odin back to stock.
Flashed sc_milestone2_full
Flashed hellybean 4.2.2
Flashed TWRP then turned my phone off
Turned phone on and booted to recovery (TWRP at this point)
Flaahed 11.1 without doing any type of wipe.

man.....I feel like a moron and I have to be doing something wrong. I can follow directions and my wife says im a good listener. but this is kicking my butt!! I appreciate the help and feel like im bothering asking for hand holding- so I really appreciate your patience.
going ge whiz route..........
after converting to rfs and flashing the kernel from cm11 it boots into TWRP and here in my problems begin.
"-When booted into TWRP do the ALL wipes (except SDCARD)"
if I factory reset all other wipes fail
if I advance wipe first either all four fail or one at a time each fail.
its embarrassing to ask how do I wipe my device, so at least I am glad this is the trouble shooting thread. lol
and thans for the sc_milestone advice, but I don't have that file otherwise I would go that route since you tried it and it works. I searched for milestone but did not find a file named the one you used.
The sc milestone he mentioned is probably the Superclean rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350621

did you flash a flash a jelly bean rom before flashing CM 11.1? are you trying to flash the 6 Dec 11.1? I had problems with prior versions also.

yes, 12.6 is the cm 11 build
- First time flashing CM-11.0 to your Galaxy S (or coming from another ROM)?1. Download Rom , Gapps and zip from the below step to sdcard.
2.Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
3.Flash 4.4 kernel zip to gain twrp http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291679682 flash through recovery
4.Reboot recovery and you will now be in twrp
5.Select WIPE: go to advanced (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache partition)
6.Install the ROM then install Gapps don't install them simultaneously
my problems begin in step 5
I didn't do the wipe in your step 5. I just flashed the rom.
which jelly bean rom? try helly bean below

i highlighted the problem in alot of stars( *** ) once u are in TWRP from kernel flash u dont reboot to recovery again, that is whats causeing your errors, i tried to word it as "when u reboot into recovery" as-in when it boots up from kernel flash
try it once moire and it might work better, as when u do that the only partition it thinks u have is the kernel (boot.img, or /boot), thus /syste/ and /data arent being read to flash
as for the status 7, it might be cause the assert (getprop) on the top of the updater-script inside the zip under
META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script
edit it in NOTEPAD++!! and then put back in (without compression to solve some read-errors that could happen sometimes, but compression does make zip work, but sometimes uncompressed works faster for personal use),
then ill attach a zip for u to extract to your desktop, its a program called SignApk (notice its used to sign android zips), u will need to do this EVERY TIME u edit a flashable zip for it to flash right, to use it just extract it all into the same folder, make sure u have java (jre6+, and maybee jdk1.6.0_**+), then drag+drop the zip onto the DragApk.bat program and it will flash it with the same name with an added _signed before the zip, if u put it where your %path% system variable is u can go on command prompt and just type "signapk (zip name u edited) (zip name u want, that has to be different then the edited zip name or u get an empty zip for both)" u can leave out the second zip name and it will just do same name with a "_signed" before the extention, hope this helps =)
Self-explanatory really.
I updated my phone a few weeks ago to Omnirom 4.4.4, one of the nightly builds and everything was going well.
Today I installed a couple of apps, and tonight the screen started flickering and the phone reset, however when it started again, it went into a bootloop.
How do I get it working again without losing the files that are on the internal memory? (I don't know which resets in CWM delete personal data)
Thanks

Flash latest (6.0.4.7) CWM or latest TWRP (2.7.1.0 if Im not wrong) and reflash the rom.
Wiping data, and formatting partitions doesnt get you wiped internal memory files; but apps and things installed.

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but would you happen to know of a guide for flashing the stock ROM?
Would it fix by flashing a different ROM, such as Cyanogenmod which I have in the download folder on the phone?
If like you said you don't want to lose data don't flash stock rom this will wipe your data fist thing you need to do is install PhilZ recovery then look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953 << then look at the special features section here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433728#post39433728 << look for the aroma file manager and how to use.
You will then be able to boot into recovery browse your internal files with aroma and move and copy/backup what you need,once you have done all that you will then be able to return to stock with odin.

If you don't want to lose your data then no because you need to wipe your data....Did you reboot into recovery and wipe cache advanced delvik cache? Also read my suggestions above
Root access not working.
Already tapped build number 7 times, enabled root in developer settings by changing none to apps & adb (nothing works)
Then somewhere in thread i saw a person saying change apps & adb to apps only (still not working)
What should I do ?
Actually I had installed cm 12.1 in my s2 but after updating to cm 13 through system updates,
Cyanogen recovery installed, which is pathetic!
Phone is not connecting to odin (WTF!)
Please help me!
Whenever I try to install latest update (i.e feb10) through system update I will download successfully but in recovery installation aborted :crying:
a) you must use TWRP recovery
b) if you are using CWM recovery, the last step before reboot is asking for fix root....then say NO

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.The problem is that, I can't install twrp or cwm recovery over cyanogen recovery because phone is not
connecting with odin.
As I said root is not working, so I can't use rom manager or other apps to install recovery.
I do have the same problem.
Recovery is useless, choosing either "apply update/choose from sdcard0" or "apply update choose from sdcard1" shows "Install failed installation aborted", so I can't switch to TWRP or anything else.
I've tried to flash through odin (win) and heimdall (linux), it never worked.
Phone is still booting to CM13, but I can't install Goggle apps. I've tried to install the play store apk manually, it won't launch.
check your terminal emulator

I have cyanogen recovery which automatically downloaded during update from cm 12.1 to cm 13 nightly & I couldn't do anything in that recovery.
When I try to update cm 13 to a newer version its download and after reboot, it goes into recovery & says "Installation aborted".
@Crazyevilbeef If you know how to install this kernel & recovery through cyanogen recovery please tell me.

download this file and put to your SD
Kernel - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293134
GApps from http://opengapps.org/ downlaod these ARM-6.0-Pico
if you already downloaded it to your SD, then you're ready to go
Go to Cyanogenmod Recovery
-Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
-Wipe Cache partition
-Go to Apply Update, Flash the Kernel first. and then flash the TWRP recovery you downloaded from your sources
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Power Off
When the phone is off, Open it and go to recovery. It should be TWRP Recovery you are flashing
-Factory Data Reset, Wipe Cache, Dalvik
-Also wipe system partition
-Reinstall your ROM, and flash the GApps you downloaded from the link I gave you.
-Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-Reboot
your phone should be working fine now
Apply update, does not let me flash the kernel or choose the kernel from a location from my sdcard. Do I have get external sd card for this procedure?

Did it work mate?
I'm experiencing the same problem and unfortunately your solution doesn't work for me. Cyanogenmod Recovery doesn't allow me to install anything. Regardless if I select the internal or external sdcard, I receive the message: "Install failed" "Installation aborted".

what status error does the recovery give u?
Hi,
I'm using a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 as a spare phone and i thought it would be a good idea to upgrade from CM13.1 to lineage os 14...
Unfortunately that didn"t go well, the phone is not bricked BUT :
1)i can only flash recovery using odin, heimdall says flash ok but recovery never changes, same as when i tried to install the TWRP recovery from a zip file in the CWM 6.0.2.9 recovery
2) flashing from that CWM version a lineage os zip file always resulted in the progress bar to be stuck at the very begining of the process so i updated the phone with a 3GB PIT file to fix the issue.
3) now the same CWM doesn"t want to mount the SD card while it's working perfectly from within the phone or with the phone(using latest stock firmware) on my PC
4) i can"t use that CWM as recovery because i can't use adb sideload or install zip from a file anymore(i guess due to the 3GB PIT file)
So is it possible to have a TWRP recovery flashable with odin for the GT-I9100 ?
Will that TWRP recovery finally allow me to flash the lineage os zip file?
thanks,

First--you can't mount sdcard after repit if you didn't format it
Second--repit using 3GB PIT is useless procedure, because you only changed the data partition size, instead repit with a 1GB_3GB.pit to change system partition to 1GB.
Third--to get TWRP 3 you must be on a rom with a kernel that supports isorec recovery, so you should flash a CWM kitkat compatible recovery through Odin and reboot to recovery and flash latest CM11 to get isorec support then reboot to recovery flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 image and then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps.
If you couldn't understand me, then simply follow this guide
Hello,
thanks for your reply, it was exactly what i was looking for, i wish my Google searches about that matter redirected me to that tutorial.
IT worked brilliantly exept an error regarding formating and mounting of data partition after the use of the PIT file but upon restart, the procedure : 'Go to Wipe -> Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, System, Data, Internal Storage then Swipe to Wipe, go back to TWRP Home.' completed without any errors.
That old phone is now running nougat.

Great, happy to help
Enjoy the Nogut taste
Hi,
I wanted to upgrade my i9100 so i used odin 3.04 to flash the kitkat compatible .tar file you mentioned through download mode. The flashing in odin showed no errors but my phone is dead now and doesnt turn on!
Now i can only get into download mode using the key combinations.
What did i do wrong coming from CM9.1 with cwm 6.0.1.2 on it. And how to fix this?

Your phone won't boot of course, because the kernel recovery you flashed is a kitkat kernel recovery, just reflash it again with a pit with 1GB system or more and your desired data partition size, all pits are available in repartition guide by saber, after you enter into recovery, you should navigate to mount then "format sdcard" or "format internal sdcard", i don't actually remember the option, then format it and format data and system and cache and dalvik cache, then install the latest cm11 rom to get isorec support, then let it reboot, then reboot to recovery and flash TWRP 3.0.2-1 image from the TWRP 3 thread's download section, then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps
Just a sec i will give you some links..
Much appreciated. I am really stuck right now.
Can i conclude that when i flash CWM 6.0.1.2 my CM9.1 will be alive and kicking?
I think i want that right now, i postpone the upgrade to the future. Not really comfy right now....
hmmm i can't find the link to CWM 6.0.1.2 for i9100. Thats what i need right now...

you have to flash a kernel not just a recovery, try dirty flashing your cm9.1 again that should make it boot correctly, and will replace the current recovery with the recovery that comes with the rom
I found my cm9.1. How does dirty flashing works? Can it be done with odin?
Does this erase all my data on my device?
edit:
Do i choose pda or phone when entering cm9.1 in odin. And where to select wipe cache and dalvik cache?
CM11
1.5GB PIT Files or 1GB PIT Files by ELgmal 1GB is enough.
Kitkat compatible recovery
this is for future update

no just flash it in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, if you had xposed then flash xposed after the rom and wipe dalvik and cache and reboot.
ps: next time you post, please quote my post or mention me in your post so i can reply faster to your post
no it won't delete any data

DON'T USE ODIN, the rom is zip flash it through recovery
The problem is i can't access the data partition in windows explorer so i can not place the cm 9.1 zip file on my device. I can enter the recovery mode though

have you tried with an external sdcard?
you can use an adapter to connect your external sdcard to your pc and copy your rom to
That worked fine. My device is up and running.
Many thanks for your help!
