The error message and related problem is written right there in front of your nose:
The ZIP file on your SD card does not seem to be ok. Bad download or corrupted while copying onto the SD.
EDIT: If you want to make sure that a large file got copied correctly to the SD (assuming the file you downloaded is ok):
1. Get HashTool
2. Start HashTool, make sure at least "MD5" is checked and drop the ZIP onto the program window.
3. Save the MD5 hash as a .txt file
4. Mount the phone in USB storage mode
5. Copy the ZIP
6. Drop the ZIP you copied onto the SD onto Hashtool and make sure the MD5 matches.
If the MD5 does not match, then the file on the SD is damaged. Turn off the phone, take out the SD and put it into a card reader. Delete the ZIP, copy anew, recheck the MD5. If it's ok now give it a try ... and research a possible problem with the Android drivers on your computer later on.
If it should turn out that the file is also damaged on your computer ... either the download broke (pay close attention to make sure the file came in completely) or you have a funny problem with your hard drive or file system integrity.

Flashtool installs the one-and-only correct 0.1 xRecovery version for the X8/W8.

You know, that statement is plain bulls***. Flashtool uses the very same rooting methods as SuperOneClick.

Correct - try another ROM or re-flash GingerXperia.
See the edit in my post above about how to make sure that the ZIP got copied correctly.

Repair it using PCC and start all over again, but this time use super1click for rooting your phone and x8toolbox for install CWM and xRecovery
Or try to pull out battery for couple minutes and see if problem still persist, than start your phone without sdcard inside, maybe you sdcard causing it
so far ok ...but it restarted bout 10 mins ago...i scare it happen again..i really hope not, the last time i serviced my phone is caused the sd card problem
I'm going slightly mad....
I've tried all possibilities, but with no use.
Everything went bad, when i unlocked bootloader, and (tried) flashed nAa kernel to use new rom's for my X8. SEMC unlocked bootloader, rooted phone, everything went fine, but... First my phone was stuck on nAa kernel screen after flashing (it said succesfully) nAa kernel and latest cm rom based on nAa kernel. Since than, i tried 10 different nAa based rom's, flashed alfs kernel succesfully and alfs based rom's, stock kernel and stock rom, and than old rom's which worked flawlessly (on stock kernel), relocked bootloader, booted without sd card, everything. But only combo which works is flashed stock kernel and stock rom 2.1.1. Why? What has been gone wrong that now even old rom's based on stock kernel aren't working? Problem with every rom and kernel combo now is that after s.e. (or if i use custom kernel - their logo), goes custom rom logo and than mobile reboots itself and goes all over again - s.e. logo, custom rom logo, and reboot. Left mobile for hours - same thing. Only when i install stock kernel and stock rom (together in one .ftf file), everything works fine. Now phone is with relocked bootloader, rooted, and on stock rom, with everything working correct. But wont let me flash any custom rom, and i don't wanna use phone like this, because nothing is like i'm used to be (i used mostly gingerdx or gingerxperia rom's).
Please help!!
Hello everyone. I used to work out most problems myself but seems like i ran into a problem i dont understand.. so would be nice if someone could help.
I like to try different roms. After staying with paranoid android. I went to a miui rom and then tw based again. Tried most of tw based jb roms am on sva now. Now the problem is:
When i tried to go back to paranoid flash in cwm installation stopps... tried utacka and standard several times even downloafed each again. I get error sth. Like ...emmc.. status 7 install abort. This isnt good hm ?
Can anybody tell what ....?
Also i get booting even before cwm a green message in left upper corner ...jpg. draw image failed. The same message i get when phone is off and i plug it in to load. Well dont know if its related.
as there are lots of clever people out there i hope someone could tell me what to do or if i messed it up. Btw. I can still flash any tw based rom. Thanks
status 7 is usally a bad download / corrupted file, I think you should redownload it and check the md5 before flashing.
Also, flash over a full wipe (safe kernel obviously ) and see how it goes, As for the green jpg message, I believe thats the charging animation, So long as the phone is charging i wouldnt worry too much, Its probably been corrupted inside the ROM, so flashing a new one *could* replace the dodgy jpg image. :good:
what is the name of the file you downloaded for PA? are you getting this error ? assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")
try a different kernel. The phone might not boot with that but you can install a new rom from recovery
Hello
I had your problem before, I found out it is a bad download (corrupted file)
First, I would like to explain that (EMMC) means the zip files i located on your internal storage
Status 7 can mean either you're using a version not optimized for your phone (so be sure you're downloading from N7000 forums) or it is a corrupted file
To conclude that, do a checksum on the zip file on your phone (There's a free app on play store called Checksum) and compare the checksum that is generated by the app to the checmsum on Utacka thread.. if they differ, then re-download the file from the forum (& repeat the checksum check before you flash it)
Best of luck

Try flash Abyss kernel first and from Abyss kernel flash the paranoid android. It happened to me and it turns out not the rom is not corrected but I cannot flash directly from the Phil kernel.

That's a known issue of some of the new PhilZ kernels/recoveries, nothing to get worried about.
Flash either a CM10 or HydraCore kernel, reboot recovery, do the wipes and flash away.
Hello,
I've the same problem like u.
Currently I'm still on ultimate 4.1.2 v5 which based on LSA. Everytime I tried to flash another ROM...the emmc status 7 error will appear.
So I guess we have similar problem.
To all expert guys here,
So if I installed the hydracore kernel and reboot to recovery, I can directly flash any new ROM that I want to flash?
Coz, last night my friend said by opening the zip file and edit the updater script on ro.build prop will help me to solved this status 7 error..but after i tried to reedit that script. It won't work. I still got that issue.
Let me try this method by flashing this HC kernel tonight..n i'll update u what I get. Btw I can use any kind of HC kernel right? Or I must use the latest version...which mean the version 7...
Regards

Any version can be used. Just keep in mind that the phone won't boot after installing hydracore. Only recovery and download mode. So make sure to have all the necessary files preloaded before installing HC

What do u mean with preload files?
Is it these one?
- zip rom file
- hc kernel
Are there any other files do i need to prepare before flashing that kernel?

Hello guys,
I am trying to flash Cyanogenmod 7 to my sisters galaxy mini. But everytime I use clockworkmod to flash the zip file it gets stuck at 'installing update...' I tried a couple of times (and restalled the stock rom and tried again). Won't get any further.. (I've used multiple zip files:stable and nightly, multiple clockwork tar files and multiple sd cards (4GB and 16GB)
Any tips?
Thank you!
Stuck??? Lol try to flash CWM 5 first. IF tar, then you have CWM 4 now.

The requeriments are not more than 2.3.x baseband. And if not, then it won't boot. But it won't stuck at installing...
Make sure you install clockwork mod properly with odin or zip

Yes i have read it, i followed the tutorial completely. But the problem is not rooting the phone or flashing cwm, it just cwm doesn't work as it should.

Hello.

Now to not let me install roms. Not if it is bricked. Not under warranty.
It's urgent.

Remains the same...
You say that you own a S5830i!!!
You can not install any S5830 ROMs on it. I think that you also installed the S5830 (without the i) CWM.
That's why your device is bricked. If you flash any other ROM again, install a S5830i ROM.
So this is not the right forum for it. This is the forum for the "normal" S5830.
Try flashing the CWM for the i Version.
Good luck!
I've solved, I put the cwm of cyanogen and cyanogen mod 7 installed and it works, thank you very much for the help.

Great.
I was in the process of downgrading my phone from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2.
I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g870aucu1aoa1-4-4-4-2-7-2015-t3025119
I accidentally flashed the second Kernel first and the then my phone wouldn't boot, just boot-looped to to the recovery, I tried to do a factory reset/wiped, but still had same issue, then I factory reset/wiped and then cleared the cache. Same issue. I have tried updating to stock 5.1.1 roms, 4.4.2 roms, stock rooted roms, I have tried to just about everything I can find online. I either get failures ranging from the following:
I'm trying to get my phone working again by flashing the stock firmware with odin3 (tried 3.9 and 3.10) but it fails every time and gives me the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" while in download mode..

I have also tried this: http://www.droidviews.com/fix-status-7-error-while-installing-ota-update-or-roms/
since I was getting a status 7 error, but then I got another error after that (error is sideload package)
I can get to Custom OS download function and I can get to the boot recovery.
I honestly don't care if this phone is rooted or not, stock rom or not, but I need to get it back up and running, please help, Samsungs are new to me.
***UPDATE***
I just wanted to let everyone know that after about 30 different files, some through Odin, some through Recovery I finally got one to install and fix my AOS. The file that finally didn't fail to load in Recovery was Here: www androidfilehost com / ?w=search&s=g870a <--Add in the dots and remove the spaces, and make it a secure website.
It was more specifically G870A_OF3_tJ3_OTA.zip, it did fail something at the end of the recovery but it stayed on the screen for less than a second so I didn't see what failed but my phone is working now.
Hopefully one of those files will help someone else out.

Hi there, Chosenbc!
I am glad to read, that you figured iout to unbrick your G870A. Now I want to go the same way and downloaded that specific file, you mentioned. I know, how to flash through Odin a tar-File, but how did you flash through recovery that zip-file ? Via ADB ? Or sd-card in recovery ?
Done! (Unbrick)

BTW, I loaded it using the stock recovery. Took about 4 minutes to load and 2-3 more to boot up. Installs Android 5.1.1
I am having a the same issue. I was on a stock 5.1.1, didn't read that this kernel was for 4.2.2 Now my phone will not boot.
I have tried using ODIN to no success. Keeps failing every time I try to flash Stock Rom. I have tried probably 4 different stock..... Nothing. I have tried what you sugested, no succes. Can someone please help me get my phone out of Limbo..... SM-G870A PLEASE!!!

Im in the same boat. Trying the files from OP first. Hopefully one works. I presume we need to move the OP zip file to the sd card on the phone, and update from recovery mode on the phone?
I just got a SM-G870A from a buddy of mine, he says he made the same mistake as the OP. Tried going from PB3 to NE4. He says he tried Odin flashing system images, kernels, and bootloader.
The system recovery says OC5.
Do I need to walk my flashes up OC5-OF2 - OF2-OF3 - OF3-OJ3 to fix this soft brick??
Thank you Chosenbc!!!!!!!!!!!! after several days (more than 5 weeks) I could unbrick my SM-G870A and this was possible all because of you and who uploaded the working Rom. Thank you, thank you thank you! for making this post!
