I actually think that it is the next assert that causes the status 7 error. This is the one that looks like it is the radios allowed. Such as the one ending in MK3.

Boost and VM can run any Sprint S3 modem and can run any Sprint S3 ROM. But we currently have to load the zip into Notepad++ and remove the asserts at the top before we can flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Next update will have a unified recovery for all d2 variants (S3 Qualcom) called d2lte

The ro properties will be set on init by detecting bootloader

That's the way CM team decided to move to spare build resources
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Wonderful News! Thanks, Phil.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Now: one common recovery for all: d2lte

The d2spr specific variants are no more updated, use d2lte common variant

[MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION]

Please update OP with new v6.15.7 under d2lte generic device :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
With this, do we still have to remove the asserts for boostmobile??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Check it and report here

Else post your getprop output here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
The ROMs that have started using the unified d2lte designation still contain a device check in the asserts, and d2vmu (Virgin Mobile and Boost variants) is not listed as an approved device, at least not that I have seen so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Boot into your stock rom

In terminal, type: getprop

Paste the output here

Not Updating

Hello,

I have tried to update both ways, zip & tar. I then reboot the recovery and it says I'm still on 6.07.9 I tried to update to 6.12.8 with the same results. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
i tried too, same results...also did bad backups of my roms and said my roms were mismatched and then basically garbage...i reverted back to my original philz recovery and redid my cm11 rom all over again from scratch because of this zip file

I won't be directing anyone here to use this :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
That's strange, I have flashed every version of Philz with no problems, including the last two builds which came out in close succession-the final d2spr build and then the new d2lte build. Been flashing new Carbon ROM builds just fine, and did several backups and restores over the last couple of days as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
I did just flash the d2spr final zip myself, went to power options then reboot recovery...went from cwm 6.0.4.5 to cwm 6.0.4.7 and that's working fine...so I'm staying away from the d2lte zip file since that failed me big time lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Yeah, it may be a Your Mileage May Vary type of thing!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
true that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Thank you Phil, whatever you did worked.

I flashed your newest recovery for d2lte.

I flashed the newest Carbon which is now d2lte.

It worked without changing any asserts.

I have Boost which I understand is d2vmu. I usually have to delete the asserts because I get an error 7.

Not this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1BadWolf:
I flashed the tar with mobile Odin without any issues. Haven't tested it out fully, but if the past is any indication of the future (as it usually is) then I don't expect to have any issues with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
I used the zip, also no problems as I referenced earlier. As far as I'm concerned, no other recovery is even in the same league as Philz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I'm using philz from a couple of versions back because I was having issues with the recent ones not installing MK3 roms for me. Anyways, I just tried to restore a nandroid that I made 2 days ago and I keep getting MD5 mismatch msg. Any ideas why. I haven't updated recovery since making nandroid..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jwitt418:
Question about this recovery. I recently installed this and flashed moar 8.0....no problems. But I have a newer s3 and have had problems flashing aokp roms in the past using cwm and twrp(bootloop). I was informed this was a problem with newer s3s. My question is with this recovery will (should) i be able to flash a cm type rom. Or does the recovery have nothing to do with the problem i was having? To the minds far more superior than mine. ..thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KaM1KaZ3:
i updated to the new recovery been trying to flash v5 wicked rom an no go i get the android with the red triangle saying aborted status7 message so i just odin back to 6.07 love your work but the new build isnt working to well for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] papa b:
You are seeing the CWM version not the philz version.

The CWM version you are seeing is what was used to build the philz version.

Go to (in recovery) "philz settings" then "about".

The log (at the bottom of the screen) will show both the CWM version # and the philz version #.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ohiostater86:
You are correct. Thank you very much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1BadWolf:
I have a newer d2spr (less than 6 months old) and have read about that, and I don't know if I'm just lucky, but haven't ever experienced that. The only recovery related problem I've had was when I one flashed an older CWM and it wouldn't mount either SD cards. I only use TW ROMs to update prl, activate device, etc but the rest of the time I'm on an AOSP ROM.

Philz recovery has never failed me. That much I know for sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mister-crackers:
did i flash correctly?

Yesterday I wanted to completely replace TWRP 2.6.3.1 with the latest PhilZ advanced touch recovery for my Sprint Galaxy S3 (d2spr) . I booted to TWRP, flashed the latest Philz touch 6.15.4-d2spr.zip (posted on Goo.im server), didn't bother wiping dalvik+cache, and rebooted. After booting into recovery, Philz is showing up (yay!), however I see this error message:

E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!

E: Cannot mount path for settings file /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_6.ini

:confused:

So...I'm having a few issues. First was that for some reason I was totally unable to write to my SD card. Not sure why. Therefore I reformatted the SDXC memory card to be totally blank. I was then able to successfully create the "storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/aromafm" in which I placed the aromafm.zip. Aroma File Manager and Terminal now open correctly (phew!).

However, reading author [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] comments http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50119209&highlight=ini#post50119209

, I should have instead created a path in internal storage using "/data/media/clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip"

Tried creating that path but the Recovery isn't seeing it.

E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!

I'm also did a wipe/reset of cache, and Android-Secure (internal storage?). Upon reboot the phone is now understandably stuck at the KT747 kernel boot splash screen (kernel i was running with CarbonRom previously).

Also...Phil3759 mentions the *.ini file should be located in "/data/philz_touch", however that subfolder wasn't created when I flashed this recovery zip...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
thank you sir!! I was on build 6.15.4 and now reflashed this d2lte.zip and am now on 6.15.7 build...not for nothing, this is why when I write up guides, I put down all these kinds of things for others "not to get confused" lol this guide is vague, even the rebooting recovery wasn't explained which is what I think 1st messed up the flash for me, I rebooted the system then booted into recovery again that way :silly:

things should be laid out for those who don't do these things that often, not everyone knows each step/detail lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Seems you have a corrupted /data or an issue with it

Try to reboot into rom as it can be fixed during chkdsk

Else, try to format the partition, include /data/media

The settings folder is not created until you alter one of the default settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Anybody try flashing a rom and gapps with the d2lte version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Flashed the last two Carbon builds, zero issues!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fitz420:
Slimkat here on two different s3's. No problem on either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
CM11 d2lte flashed as is. No problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Ok, a little late to the party but I have to ask where to find the latest binary. I checked inside Philz recovery flashable and the binary (don't take this the wrong way) is dated 2/29/2008 so I just don't know what to say about that. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
It is the signing of zip

Binary is latest
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
same here, since I reinstalled this zip properly lol have installed 2 custom roms, updated roms, made and reflashed nandroid backups with no errors to report
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mister-crackers:
[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

i think you're right. the partition was corrupted. So I Formatted /data and /data/media (/sdcard) as you suggested.

"Error mounting /data !" error has been resolved :D

"E: Cannot mount path for settings file /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_6.ini" is also resolved.

But I could not boot to ROM and run chkdsk simply because I wiped my last ROM (Carbon JB-4.3.x nightly) before I switched from TWRP 2.6.3.1 to Philz Recovery. No ROM.

Then attempted Wipe to Install a New ROM i get this error: "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" which is a the dedicated partition I think.

Whoops!!! I forgot to tell you that I previously encrypted the partition whilst running Carbon...i.e. I had to enter my PIN everytime to boot into Carbon ROM (also saw a similar PIN login to boot into TWRP).

Since flashing to Philz Recovery (with no ROM), the phone never asked for the old encyption PIN. Don't know if that's because I wiped something extra. :confused:

Attempted to install a Wicked Sensations (TouchWiz) ROM v0.5 but the installation halts with the image of Dead Android (red exclamation) and this log error:

"format() expects 5 args, got 4

E: error in /storage/sdcard1/Wicked_Sensations_Rom_MK3_v0.5.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted"

On the next attempt, I unchecked "don't use old update binary". Install was successful. I agree with you, the developer needs to look at their engine & scripting.

Wicked ROM booted up, and asked for a PIN to decrypt....but it is not accepting the PIN i previously used with Carbon! Can't get past this screen. I dunno if the PIN was reset somehow but I'm stuck. CRAP! Am I screwed now? :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
This is the third time I've tried restoring a backup with the newest edition of philz and I keep getting MD5 mismatch msg including a backup that I made literally 15 mins ago. Any insight?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
You can disable md5 check under Misc nandroid settings I think.

I'm not sure about the issue you are having though as I normally use TWRP for backups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You can do this, it will work... But if the backup is corrupt it may do more harm than good-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390010- I have had zero issues with the latest version besides having to uncheck "Don't Allow Old Update Binary" a couple times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I ended up disabling MD5 check in philz setting like [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] suggested. I made a backup to test something for him and when I tried to restore it I get the msg. I've NEVER had that happen to me until the most recent updates to philz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Trouble restoring

I tried all afternoon to restore some nandroids. The restore process would run for awhile, then suddenly the screen would go black and the phone would spontaneously reboot. It looked like most of my apps were present--but the wallpaper was wrong, widgets were missing, and none of my accounts were present, etc...

I tried using the most recent 3 recoveries. Tried different nandroid files (from today, and the past).

The backups were all to my sdcard--could it be a FAT32 issue...? Something else?? I'm completely stumped.

Galaxy S3/VirginMobile..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noles4life50:
This happened to me a while back, your data partition is corrupted and needs to be wiped, it didn't properly backup your data and therefore won't properly restore it either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I ran several "Clean to install a new ROM" options from the PhilZ recovery. Does that 'reset'/'reformat' the /data partition? I'm a bit of a n00b: Is the data partition on internal storage, or on the sdcard...? (I'm thinking it's internal, and my first "Clean to Install..." option probably fixed whatever the problem was. But, yes, I could see how those backups would be corrupted. My last clean install was at least 3 weeks ago; something must have gotten borked in the meantime?)

Thanks for your help!

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

I read somewhere recently that you should always do a 'verify permissions' (or words to that effect) when flashing a new ROM. I don't see that option anywhere in the PhilZ... Am I missing it? Is it a ROM option? No longer necessary...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Check your backup folder too. Go to clockworkmod/backup/name of backup. Sometimes it creates a file called nandroid.md5 file. Which is the md5 number/check file. Sometimes, if you move folders and change recoveries you encounter this issue with it displaying an error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I just noticed that the PhilZ has an automatic repair permissions step when you flash a ROM. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
bull****

cwm has no such "capacities"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Can anyone help me with the efs backup option please?

I would like to do a custom backup of EFS but when I do this, I can't find the backup to restore (so I can save it off to pc for safekeeping) so I'm guessing I'm not doing it correctly or there is a setting I'm missing.

Am I the only one who has had this problem? I restore a Nandroid from Philz and none of my data is restored. Just started happening yesterday. Is there something I need to do different? Please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I haven't had that problem... Have you checked inside the backup to see if it even backed up your data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mremale:
It just started yesterday. Was restoring and making Nandroids with no problem until yesterday. Now the Nandroid (which were from a couple weeks ago) don't restore with data even though they used to. When the Nandroid finishes I found it odd that it would auto reboot after I restored it in philz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mremale:
Partial shot of ROM contents
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Have you tried restoring with an older version yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
You may want to make sure that your SD Card is not going south on you. I had the same issue occur to a device I take care of. It turned out the SD Card was going bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mremale:
I will check the sd card. Yeah. Never have I had this happen with any Galaxy I've owned. This recovery is great just didn't know if I accidently did something to a setting. It just started yesterday. I found it weird that after I restored a Nandroid, I would come back and the phone rebooted to the splash screen and took a long time as if it was a freshly installed ROM. Can I try to restore with twrp or will it not work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
I'm pretty sure it won't read the clockworkmod folder as a valid recovery location. That is why I asked about using an older version of Philz. Plus, its possible like Prboy said, if the backup is on external maybe its having trouble reading it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I seriously doubt that TWRP will restore a CWM based NAND. But tdunham does bring up an interesting point. Try moving the NAND to the internal storage, and then restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrQuest:
Have a question, not sure what to do. I'm trying to flash the new philz but it fails every time. It has to be user error because I see other flashing and using it fine. Is there some thing I'm missing? I DL, go into twrp, flash recovery then I get failed. TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Flash an older philz, then try flashing the new one from that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrQuest:
That didn't work... Ant other ideas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1BadWolf:
Flash the tar using mobile Odin. That's the way that I do it and it works every time, for me at least.

Aroma File Manager

I tried to use this option and it said I had to have a zip file for it to work.

"No clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip on sdcards"

I googled aromafm.zip and found a bunch of links, is there a specific version of it I should be using for the S3 or will any work??

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
That stands for aroma file manager...there is only one Aroma file manager. You need to download the latest one, rename to aromafm.zip, and then copy it to clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip on either internal or external for the aroma file manager integration to work
