I was on Darkys ROM for some months without any flashing problems. Now i wanted to change from Darkys ROM 10.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Galnet MIUI. I had to downgrade to Froyo and then install the CWM zip in CWM. This was NOT succesful. It always says "Installation aborted (Status 7)". Then i tried to install CyanogenMod 7.1. Upgraded to Gingerbread Stock with CWM 3 and when i first flashed it via ODIN the phone first booted in the standart Android CWM display (dont know the name sry). The phone automatically formated cache etc. but then it showed me 2 times "/efs is not mounted". I was able to boot and to open CWM but ALWAYS when i want to install ANY CWM ROM it shows me the message with Status 7 ...
EDIT: The message when i try to install a zip via CWM:
--INSTALLING: SDCARD: update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package

How can i mount /efs again and make CWM ROM Flashing able again?
Thank you.
I am not a dev, but I suggest you do a fresh ODIN flash to stock rom or this SIMPLY HONEY ( its got odin version & hence very easy to install ) rom.
I already flashed several (stock) roms... still not working
The first thing you every do before flashing a rom is a nandroid backup.... use this to recover...
I hope to hear oh thanks i didn't remember about that, lol. But i do not expect it...
Do you have any backups, of the /efs maybe? If you do then find out how to put that back on..
An option would be to use adb to try fix it, first try the obvious and try mount the ef, if that doesn't work then tell me what files you have in the efs... and we'll try help you from there.
If you don't know hoe to use adb there is a pinned thread in the general forum, and I have made a there is a basic tutorial in a number of places either search here or google

I've rooted and unlocked my N1 and flashed it several times with custom Roms. I recently went from CM7 RC1 to a rooted stock 2.3.3, for which I had installed HBOOT. Now I am only able to perform a nandroid restore to change the roms and am unable to install CM7 RC2 or even to reinstall CM7 RC1 with which I was previously running. The error I see is:
Installing update . . . .
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="
one" || getprop("ro.buiE:unknown command [ld.product")]
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zio
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I've looked through Cyanogen and XDA forums but I haven't seen a direct response to this particular issue. I've tried Wiping and wiping the davlik cache, and I've flashed Clockwork recovery and RA recovery via rom manager. I've tried 4 separate roms and get the same error, and these are roms I was able to use previously.
Any help or even a push in the right direction would be very much appreciated, as I've essentially hit a wall. Please excuse the noobish picture of my N1 screen , I don't know how to take screen shots.
status 7 error
i have the same problem. solution plz
So this happened only after flashing the hboot right?
Did you try wipe/data factory from the recovery menu?
Looks like a problem in build.prop of the ROM currently on device.
Solution: check build.prop for the line that the installation scripts fails at, see what it's expecting and what's there, and change accordingly. You can do all that by ADB shell in recovery.

From the screen shot, i think you are trying to flash an NS ROM!! That's the reason it fails

My Girlfriend asked me to update her SGS, so I said, why not trying a costum ROM. She agreed...
So is first installed CWM with hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery and the Heimdall Suite.
I made a backup of her data and installed CM7.
But she did not like it and asked me to recover her old system.
So I opened CWM and choose the backup. Then in the beginning of the progress the phone suddenly rebooted and stuck at the fist samsung Logo...
So I tried to install CM7 again.
"Error in CM7.....zip" (Status 7)
I downloaded it again and moved the new file to the SD. Same Problem.
I tried another ROM.
"Cannot mount \system"
I did hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery and the Heimdall Suite again. Same Problem
I formated the whole file system (and deleted the backup by misstake)
Same Problem...
I read that CM7 changes the partition structure, maybe thats the problem?
I read about Odin but of course, as I used the guide above I did not wrote don the IMEI etc of the SGS.
My GF is going to kill me, this is serious
Any suggestions?
I tried something different with using odin
I tried to install an original ROM but also gut errors from the filesystem.
When rebooting the logo shows up and the animation starts but it loops and never end.
"Cant mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot options"
And bootloader (3e) showing up, when i try to do something it crashes and when trying to reboot BSOD....
Even when I try to start the bootloader alone
cannot mount /dbdata (invalid argument)
faild to mount /dbdata (File exsists)
Cant acess to /system/csc/ELP/system/
Ok then I tried to check the "Re-Partition" Box but Odin is not starting the process if its checked...
Try flashing firmware from here. Most of them contain bootloaders. And repartition with 512 pit.

I made it to reinstall Cyanogenmod. Dont know how it exactly worked, but it did.
So the first thing I want to do is to backup those EFS-Files.
My problem is that I dont have the possibility to install ROMS because (like at the very first installation) The Progressbar of the CWM Installer stops after a few seconds an the device reboots without having anything installed.
But, as I have CM7 installed, I have SU. so maybe there are other possibilites to backup those important files? Just copy the directory?
I had nerves and made it to install MIUI. It has all the google apps, its shiny and very girl-like.
I realy pray she likes it.
Now, 8 hours later I want to let you know I will not study tomorrow morning. Im just going to BED !!!
hhhhhhhhhhhhh dont do it again

Hello, everyone. This is my first post so excuse my newbliness, if any is noticed...
I've been trying to flash my Mini for quite a while and all I got was a series of epic fails. The ROM that I was trying to flash is the Unofficial CyanogenMod 10, by rohan007; to be more specific, Unofficial CM10_15-12-12, which is the latest update, I think. I was using Cyanogenmod Recovery Image 5.0.2.6-tass which worked quite fine, giving me the advanced options and everything, but each time I would try to install zip from sd, I would get the following error:
~some incomplete log text above, not sure if it matters~
/E:Error in /sdcard/customrom/CM-10_15-12-12.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Of course, I followed the exact instructions on how to flash a custom ROM; Clear cache partition, Wipe Data/Reset, Clear Dalvik Cache, etc...
My phone is rooted, by the way. I used the universal_gb_root_v25.zip to root my phone, since it was the only method that worked.
Then, after further investigation, I found out that the image version 5.0.2.6 sometimes fails to intall a custom ROM. So, I found the ClockWorkMod Touch Recovery Lilg Version for Galaxy Mini, CWM TOUCH 5.2.0.8 version. And when I flashed it, I just got "Install from sdcard completed" log message. Since I didn't got any advanced options, I tried to flash the ROM by selecting the option to apply update from sdcard and yet again, I got the following error:
~again, some incomplete log text above, not sure if it matters~
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then, when I rebooted my system, my phone got stuck on the Samsung GALAXY mini GT-S5570I text and now, every time when I press the power button, it keeps doing the same! I'm seriously getting frustrated here... Anyways, I can only go to the Android system recovery, and the Cyanogenmod system recovery and that is it. Also, I can still manipulate my data from the sd card. (Move and remove files from it, I mean).
One more thing about the Android system recovery. Now I get the log text saying:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
And obviously, I did something(s) wrong in the whole process, so I beg you to help me resolve this issue. Thank you.
If you need any additional data about the whole bundle of problems, I will be more than glad to post them in my next reply.
see if odin detects your phone, and reflash cwm.

ODIN MODE works, reflashing only works with image version 5.0.2.6...
As far as I know ...
we can't flash CWM in GT-S5570i
we can use in temporary only ....
this mean we can use CWM 5.0.2.6 in CWM mode and after reboot the phone goes into original CWM mode.
What I would u to do is ...
If u can go into CWM recovery mode then wipe data / Factory reset
if this doesn't help ...
Go into download mode and flash with original firmware using ODIN ...

For the CWM, I know. You have to flash it every time on reboot on the android system recovery to get it working.
I tried with factory reset several times and that did nothing. Download mode, also nothing.
So the best solution for me would be to find the stock firmware on the internet and flash that. I'll tell you how that went...
Also, when I try to format system, I get an error: "Error mounting /system! Skipping format... Done"
So for the future, is there any other way, besides CWM, to do a full, complete wipe of the Android OS?

if your phone gets detected by odin, just flash any official firmware from samfirmware.com and it's done. if not, hopefully you're still under warranty, then only samsung service center can help you. play dumb, don't mention rooting, flashing, custom roms and such...

YAY! I UNBRICKED MY PHONE! All is working just fine. Now then, if anything gets seriously wrong, I know what to do. Thank you, yackovsky, for your help.
It seems that all of those errors were caused by me trying to flash GTS5570 ROM on GTS5570I.
Hi Guys,
Scene:
Last week I had a rooted phone that could install any custom ROM, Then all of a sudden I could no longer install a custom ROM, I would get a boot loop. So today I un- rooted my phone, then re-rootes however, o now get an status 7 error on any custom ROM. I can however backup my old rooted ROM.
Any idea what has gone wrong that I cannot install a custom ROM, or how I can install a custom ROM?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the full error log when installing any ROM:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing package
Symlink: some symlinks failed
E:error in /external_sd/ (the ROM name)
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

Thanks I have tried this but it doesnt work. I get a status 6 error.
OK so i have tried installing with TWRP which works however, I get a bootloop with any ROM I install. I guess its my phone. I will stick to the stock retail en GB rom
So I posted a help thing about EFS a while back and didnt get to much help with that but i managed to figure things out. Now however
ive got myself into another predicament i cant seem to get out of.
So, from the start, i have a galaxy s3 (GT i-9305T) it was rooted, i still had the stock rom, but was running the beoffla kernal.
The idea was to download and install "JustArchi I9300XXUGML2 stock, deodexed and all the rest" then start finding
some nice themes. Ive got philz_touch_6.07.9-i9305.tar installed for my recovery.
This is where the trouble starts...
So first off i wipe the cache and the davik cache, go to install the rom then i get this: (ill go from installing update)
assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/boot.img" , " /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" )
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/Just archi........zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Now i looked up a whole heap of pages to see if i could sort it out myself and i tried a few different things,
none of which have prevailed. First i tried to reflash an insecure boot image then try again, nup. I tried to
flash back to stock recovery and re format (No errors) then back to custom. Mounted /data and /system
and re formatted which worked with no error, still same error when flashing rom though. Also tried flashing
with different custom recovery, no luck there either.
There were a few other things i tried but i cant really remember what i did because
this has been a problem for a while now. Some of the pages i looked over for
information were:

or at least a place for me to start learning myself...
Hi.
If you downloaded the stock ROM from sammy mobile are these not meant to be installed via Odin?
There are a few post if you search for some of the pre rooted stock ROMs that you can flash with odin.
I would start from there.

The roms i downloaded from samsmobile were in .zip files, which im pretty
sure has to be flashed with one of the custom recoveries.
Thanks though
at first seems you tried to flash rom designed for i9300
then, you downloaded an ODIN image and you have to flash it by ODIN, no way you'd flash it over any recovery
to be more specific:
unzip the file I9305TDVBME2_I9305TTELBME1_TEL (STOCK).zip you downloaded, you should get a huge file with extension of .md5 or .tar
read in the forums how to use ODIN to flash firmware

and am going to check things out tommorrow.
