Tell us something more, what error you get...
Do you have one of latest CWM (like version 6.0.4.5)? (What ROM are you using now?) If not, try installing CM 10.2 first and then 4.4 ROM.
PS. If you have Android =< 4.2 you will get status 7 error on first try when installing Android 4.3+. So after error you have to 'reboot to recovery' and install the ROM again.

Follow this:
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
Main menu
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard(internal)
Select your rom zip and confirm
Your phone at this moment may reboot automatically and come into a bootloop or show status 7 error or set_metadata_error so you need to flash the rom again.
Remove battery and reboot into new recovery and then flash the zip.file after that again reboot into recovery wipe everthing and flsah your rom and reboot

I have CWM 6.0.4.5. I'm on Carbon Rom 4.4 and I have done all wipes needed but when I try to flash the rom it doesn't flash and doesn't show any error. It just stays on flash screen

Done everything and still doesn't flash. It doen't show any error either,it just stays on flash screen

Then you could try to revert to stock Gb 2.3.6 using Odin and then use the methods described above by AreXe or OmreJ to update 2.3 > 4.4

IMPORTANT1: ROM is NoWipe, but I STRONGLY recommend to do a FullWipe before!! No bug reports without making FullWipe before!!! Reboot your device twice after flashing ROM!!!
IMPORTANT2: Freeze Wifi-Sharing
IMPORTANT3: There is no need to flash any previous updates on top - it's all included!
I would recommend you clear cache and clear dalvk.
Also apply the hotfixes in the link above for v22 if required in your case.
I just tried it. I clear cache and dalvik. Then i flash the zip. It installed less 20 secs and it says install succesful. Then i rebooted my phone. It stuck in the samsung gt-n7000 logo.
Help me plz. Did i do somthing wrong?

yup, the zip file is 577 mb..
before i rooted my SGN i followed your guide on how to root+cwm, it was more easier than installing this roket room. your guide was very neatly organized and comprehensive.

Try the exact steps below, it should work for you as it worked for me:
1. Flash chinese ICS ROM using MobileOdin (tar file - when you download it comes as a ZIP file so extract the whole TAR out)
2. Wait for successful bootup of Chinese rom. Don't setup google account but you should be booted into ICS.
3. Turn off your phone and boot into recovery mode
4. Do a factory reset, Wipe cache, and wipe dalvik (DO NOT REBOOT)
5. While still in recovery, flash 1.4 rocket and DO NOT REBOOT when done
6. Do a factory reset, Wipe cache, and wipe dalvik (yes for a 2nd time)
7. Now select restart phone option. You should boot into Rocket ICS. It takes a few minutes on the Samsung logo so be patient
8. Once you are in ICS, setup your google account
9. Using CWM app, reboot to recovery
10. Flash rocket v 1.5 (DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING)
11. When done, select restart phone option
You should boot into 1.5 ICS - again be patient if it takes longer at Samsung logo. This is only for the first boot - much faster afterwards.
Let us know if this wors.
ok. i will try later if it works. thanks

Help - Can't install custom roms

I've tried to install various custom roms but none of them worked. I've followed the steps on the tutorial and none of them booted!
So my steps were:
Upgraded to 2.3.4 using Odin.
Installed cwm recovery using Odin.
Went into recovery mode:
Tried both ways 1- wipe data/cache and then install Rom and boot. 2- installed the rom and then wipe data/cache.
None of the roms worked! Do I need to be on 2.3.6? Do I need to be rooted?
Please help!
Edit: yes in a galaxy mini!

For custom rom you need gingerbread 2.3.X doesnt matter what version so thats right BUT you need to wipe data wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache BEFORE and AFTER install custom rom!! Try it and it should work, and of cause you need custom rom for mini

and you need to install cwm/clockworkmod recovery before flashin custom rom. (not cyanworkmod though)

Please try Factory Reset in recovery "Wipe data factory reset" first. If still fails,
1. Flash philz, reboot recovery.
2. Do All Wipes and formats.
3. Flash Rom
4. It should boot

Wow. Okay First thing first
1. Can you boot into recovery? Otherwise can you boot into download mode?
2. If you can go to recovery, try flashing PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed safe kernel with recovery, then reboot recovery again.
3. Do factory wipe reset, followed by "Yes, I want to install a new ROM" Super Wiper.
4. Wipe caches, dalvik cache followed by format data, system, cache, preload in "mount and storage".
5. Flash your rom again, read whether it's installed successfully and reboot system. Otherwise try flashing another TW based rom (DO NOT flash AOSP/ KK roms!)
6. If flashing another rom succeed, that means u might have a bad download. Try redownloading your rom again.
7. By still able to go to either recovery or download mode, your device is still rescueable, so do not worry too much and do lots of searching. I was able to rescue mine when I soft bricked it.
8. IF you can't boot to recovery or still fail to flash any rom, I suggest you flash a stock rom using odin n see if it boots.
9. If and IF everything else fails, I hope @AndroidSlave or @nokiamodeln91 will be able to advice you as both of them are few of the good experienced "doctors".
