I was on a Jellybean ROM for sometime, now trying to flash a Kitkat ROM and keep getting an error message or stuck in boot up.
I updated my CWM Recovery to v6.0.4.6
I've tried flashing the Slimkat ROM, Kitkang ROM and the other CM 11 4.4 ROM on our dev thread.
I have them on my external SD, trying to flash all of the above I get an Error message.
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.6
--Installing: /storage/sdcard1/kitkangv1.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/kitkangv1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I've tried unmounting cache, flashing/rebooting recovery/reflashing.
I flashed to TWRP v2.6.3.0 Recovery and rebooting, same issue.
Tried flashing the ROM I was last on, same issue.
Any suggestions?

Surprisingly that worked.. Thanks.
It's becoming apparent that cwm 6046 recoveries are only for kk at this point in time.

My phone is running the latest version of Cyanogen. (also with Amon_RA's recovery image)
I got the zip, changed it to update.zip, placed it on the root of my SD card, and attempted to flash.
I get the error
"E: no signature (411 files)"
"E: Verification failed"
"installation aborted."
Do I need to go back to the stock ROM before I can apply this update?
Maybe the recovery image has to be the stock recovery image?
First thing I'm going to try is installing the version that has root preinstalled.
I'll update after.

you NEED to flash the pre-rooted version if you're going to flash via recovery.
yep, that worked. Thanks.
Got the OTA notification yesterday. Decided to install it.
The problem is is that I have a custom recovery image. Android system recovery or something like that. When the OTA update put the phone in recovery mode, the instillation failed because the packet was not signed (assuming this recovery can't read official signed zips)
I also downloaded it from google and the same thing happened. I clicked "flash zip from sdcard" under the recovery and it gave me the same error.
Also, this won't unroot me right? If it does can I just adb root it again?
Also I've heard alternative keyboards have issues, but I also heard if you uninstall and reinstall them it fixes the issue.
So how can I install 2.2.1? I don't really want to reset the phone to factory. Any other options?
Also, the OTA notification is gone, so I have to flash the zip most likely.
And... I rooted using adb. Will this unroot it (I know it breaks one-click root)

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Use Amon RA 1.8.0.x or ClockworkMod, they will both flash anything, signed (release or test) or not.
This will unroot you, but the rageagainstthecage exploit still works.
I tried both amon ra and clockwork. Amon ra gave me this

clockwork gave me something similar. I believe it just failed.
This is where I'm getting the update from
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRG83-from-FRF91.c8847c98.zip
I mean it looks entirely legit. I renamed it to update.zip.
Edit: I tried Amon Ra 1.8.0 (as it is supposed to allow singed and unsigned packages) and it still failed, I got this one this time...

The Status 7 error was a similar error i got when I tried to flash KoR 2.2 (no cyanogen). I believe it meant your boot or kernel sector has bad areas or something. The rom dev released a fix with a new rom with smaller kernel.
okay so i went through a bit of problems, and now i can only access recovery/bootloader because the rom i originally flashed messed up for some reason
anyways, im in recovery i use : adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
it works i get the rom
i got to install from sd card
and when i flash the rom i get the error unable to open zip file. i also tried sideload but to avail.
any suggestions?
using TWRP, S-off , unlocked.

Hi,
I can't install the lastest cm11.
I did a full wipe and i use CWM.
I got this error :
Code:
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I assume you have an old recovery.
install Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.44

Indeed I had an old recovery.
I updated the recovery thanks to this thread.
It works fine now.
I'm currently S-OFF, on 3.04.615.2 rooted, with SuperCID and an unlocked bootloader and PhilZ Recovery 6.10.2. I'm trying to flash EclipticONE per the post here from recovery. I followed the wipe directions as clarified here and I get the error when installing from zip:
Code:
format() expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/EclipticONE-SPCS-Inverted-1.5.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
press any key to continue.
So, thinking I'm a moron and missing something, because I've flashed Samsung devices before but never HTC and never KitKat, I went back and tried the EclipticOne Stock KitKat file. Got the same error. I can restore my backup and get back to a working stock ROM, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here and any insight would be appreciated!
That's an issue with some ROMs with newer recoveries and noted in the PhilZ FAQ in its main page.
We fixed the v1.2 EclipticONE install so it now works with all recoveries. If you need, I can work with the ROM author to fix their installer.
I got that one and installed it no problem. I also updated PhilZ Touch since I noticed there was a newer version of it. Thanks for the help!
