Maybe you have to have an unlocked bootloader but my phone is SIM locked and because of that i can't unlock my bootloader

same here, i only rooted my original bought phone, didn't do any bootloader unlocking and tried rom manager to install CM7.1, but no "Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery" found for my xperia X8, so i installed xRecovery 0.1 and tried update.zip gave me the same status 7 error, also tried unzipping and restoring, didn't worked too....
but i installed another custom rom successfully from xda-developers using xRecovery, but i want to have CM7.1, so why many of us getting the same error? any help much appreciated.... (Xperia X8 15i)

If you want to install CM 7.1 you MUST unlock bootloader and flash FXP Kernel. Look to this guide:

You are wrong. You can unlock bootloader. My phone is sim-locked too and I unlocked bootloader without problem

Yeah, my phone is sim-locked too and i've unlocked bootloader without any problem..
Could it be a problem of zip compression or saving the updater-script file?

Tried, but nothing to do :/ error Status 6 again

Yea, I downloaded a nightly OS directly from Cyanogenmod site and tried to install, not working "status 7 error", tried changing the coding in updater script, getting "status 6 error", installed stock ROM, then updated to CM custom rom (kuyadroid) and tried installing CM7.1, still not working. ...... now I just restored my stock rom 2.1 and using it, maybe it's a bug in the new CM7.1 itself that's making it incompatible with rooted X8 phones. If someone finds a solution, please update this thread, I will also keep looking for one. Will be following this thread.

i'm on official v20a, rooted, unlocked bootloader with clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.1 installed through rom manager,
The problem is your recovery, if you install official clockworkmod via ROM manager or from the website it will work. The problem is in cm10.1 our device is labeled as "x3" instead of "p880", this is another ID for our device but some recoveries don't like it. Its also this ID in the build.prop that makes some games show up in Google play that shouldn't, saw my old Gameloft games like backstab, tried installing but I got "your device is not compatible, please request a refund"

Friend, I had the same problem.
Solution: Update your CMW. After upgrade, try installing the latest version.
Here it worked.

Strange, this shouldn't be happening and isn't for anyone else as far as I know. I think there was a fix so this could be flashed on any recovery somewhere, search the general section and try that

Ok, this is not normal as our friend said.
Try installing a new CWM for this program: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
I say this because I installed my version of this app and funcinou the CM10.
Take the test and tell me if it worked
Step 1.Open the ROM.zip with winrar
Step 2.Found \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script ,use Notepad open
Step 3.delete assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p880" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "p880");
Step 4.OK,safe

installing a new CWM ，thx
I just installed the latest CWM and it worked fornme. I was also stuck on that error after installing CWM using the root/bootloader/cwm and so on tool, i forgot the name. Then i figured out that the CWM was the problem so i downloaded the latest .img from CWM website (not touch version) and replaced the .img in the tool's folder with the new one i downloaded. Replace meaning deleting the old one and placing the new one in their with the same name. Hope this helps, sorry for my bad english.
Edit: The tool is the one in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934 and replaced the CWM .img with version 3.0.3.1 instead of 3.0.2.8

You can download touch version 6.0.3.1. You can install like Dexter way or change the name O4X_CWM.img and put it in ALL IN ONE TOOL inside /files folder.
I had the same problem before using mickey.outcast method. Everything is fine now, except wifi doesn't connect

I got the same problem, this is what i did to fix it, (sorry if this is already solved)
I got the same error code you did.
I used Lg´s mobile support tool to just restore my O4X (bootloader will still be unlocked) and if it isn't there will be a message displaying that i the upper left corner.
Then i re-rooted using All in one tool kit.
NOT FLASHING CWM via All in one.
In the Superuser app i updated my binery file.
Downloaded the rom manager from store
Install rom manager and install the latest CWM (Not the touch version)
Boot recovery
Wipe/data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
format system
I actually put the rom on my internal sd card, same whit the Gapps.
Install rom
Install gapps
Works for me problemfree :good:
Im kind of new to this but this solved the problem.
Hope this might help you.
Hey guys, I've been getting the 'assert failed getprop' error.
I replaced the files of the rom and tried flashing again - no luck
Updated CWM, and tried flashing again, still no
Tried flashing an appropriate kernel and then flashing the rom, same error
I tried wiping everything in between and also not wiping, but it didn't help
I've got the Wilfire S Marvelc, the rom i'm trying to flash is cm10 (tried several versions for that might work, the marvelc version doesn't even make it through the install)
It's unlocked, rooted, and with CWM installed.
Can anybody help? I'd immensely appreciate it!

Yeah, it's hugely common on our device - only because people don't read the instructions and keep using the wrong version of CWM.

Boot loop after flashing recovery

Hi there
I tried to get a recovery on my phone with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030777 app.
I pressed the first option ( so Install recovery), then it said something like "flashing succesfull" , so I tried to boot into recovery.
That didn´t work, though, I only got into the preinstalled android recovery, not TWRP.
So I tried to reboot my phone, but ended up in a boot loop...
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thanks in advance,
Metlca

Don't use TWRP. CWM is 100x better and actually works - plus you will find it far easier to get support on here.

[Q] Phone not regonized as LT25i

Hello, i installed Revelation HD with DooMKernel and had that on my phone for like half a year.
I then thought i wanted to update to KitKat and tried installing Pacman (pac_tsubasa-nightly-20140313), when i install i get this error:
This package is for "LT25i, tsubasa" devices; this is a "mint".
I then thought it was a problem with the Kernel and i upgraded to the kernel NK(nk140-tsubasa).
I got the same error again.
I have also tried with different roms:
LOVINS-Z1-4.4.2-tsubasa_14.3.A.1.347
LS-KK-v3.0-2014-03-02-tsubasa
But i get the same errors on both of them, and sometimes i get this error instead:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT25i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT25i" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "tsubasa" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tsubasa".
To solve this problem, manually extract "boot.img" from your ROM's zip file. Flash Pac kernel with fastboot. Then reboot and install your ROM.
Hope I helped you

Best regards

Flash the kernel you have extracted from ROM zip with fastboot.
Thank you very much!! That solved my problem

Your phone does have fast boot, every phones has it.
you just start up adb and fastboot and run this command:
fastboot flash boot "path/file.img"
And then it installs.
The way you get into fastboot mode is to hold volume up while you insert the the USB cable in the computer, and your phone has to be turned off before you do this.
