Hi,
I have flashed gapps from Rom Manager along with the CM7 RC2 and on first start it asked me which apps I wanted to install, I made my choices but then I got several errors saying "file not found" seemed like the error was coming from the market. So I started looking around and downloaded the gapps manually from CM Wiki (Latest version) flashed it manually........but nothing happens, nothing shows up at all.
I have tried suggestions I found around like "fix permissions" nothing worked for me. I'm running out of ideas ! Any help is GREATLY appreciated !
Thanks.
I ran into that just 2 days ago. Its because of the package itself. I think. But anyways all you need to do is wipe data. Then install cm again and the gapps. Should be fine. Btw, dig through this questions and ask section, you'll find my question about similar thing like this. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, but I have already downloaded the file multiple times from different locations, and made no difference. As for wiping, I have already done that !
Im currently on a clean installation of CM7 RC2. So its not that either.....Im actually installing the individual apps manually from the market now, its just easier than finding a way around this damn issue !.

While others have reported of this problem, the solutions that worked for them dont work for me. Im really stuck.
I know, its an old and slow phone, but I was hoping to go to CM7 to get better performance out of it. Well, I must have done something wrong in the process. My current android version is 2.1-update1. I used z4root to root it and used the clockworkmod ROM manager to install a recent nightly after backing-up my current ROM. Installing the nightly failed, something to do with the zip, but my phone had already been wiped and rebooted in default factory mode. I tried doing the install again with the same nightly and a more recent one, but it kept failing due to a problem with the zips. After one of the reboots, the OS just wouldnt load; seems to be looping on the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen. I am able to boot in recovery mode, but cant figure out how to get past this looping issue.
Ive tried booting using the back-up I created with no luck. Ive even tried going through the RUU process (cant post a link cause Im a new member here), which results in an error message stating that theres an incorrect bootloader.
I did figure out that I was trying to install CM7 using the wrong zip; had the GSM version. Ive tried installing CM7 with the correct zip, but, after reboot, it loops at the animation with the android on the skateboard and the blue arrow around it. Not sure what it means that the two different OSs loop at, what looks like, the same points.
I probably did something wrong, but Im hoping somebody with a better understanding of all thats involved can let me know if there is any way for me to fix this. Thanks in advance for the help.

I *think* your error, in general, was using a bunch of "easy" one click methods and not properly learning (READING) about what the proper steps are. Here is my advice (assuming you are still rooted) -
1.boot into recovery (power off phone, hold home button, press power)
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.mounts/storage - wipe system and boot
4.restore nand backup OR flash ROM/gapps (from the same thread)
5.reboot, and be patient, bootup could take 5-10 minutes.
Good Luck.
You are the man (or woman)! I believe the formatting of system and boot is what did it. Really appreciate the help.

It is important, as Il Duce said, that you definitely do a good amount of reading when you want to get involved in rooting your phone. You are opening yourself up to some great innovation and fun, but you can also cause yourself a lot of headaches.
Recovery is your friend. If you can get into that, at least you know things are ok. I like to wipe (or format) system, data, cache, and boot 3x just to make sure that clockwork recovery cleaned everything and there are no dingleberries from the last rom I was using.
Flashing the correct type of rom is even more important. Don't flash a gsm rom to a cdma phone and NEVER flash a gsm radio to a cdma phone. Once you delve into the reading aspect of XDA, you will see that is the sure way to brick your phone.
Some roms take longer than others to boot up. Let it run its course. Sometimes it will reboot right after installing. At some point, you might want to make a nandroid of the new rom you are running and go back to your stock (2.1 update 1) and update your PRL, baseband, etc. (if you haven't done an update in a while).
Have fun, that is the most important part and we seem to have a lot of it here in HeroC XDA land.
You know, I put in a fair share of reading about how to update the ROM on my phone and I was under the impression that it would be fairly simple. I figured that since this has been done for quite a while and all these tools have been developed, I wouldnt need to know what happens on the back end during a root or ROM install.
But I did get myself into a bind that I wasnt able to figure out on my own. And with the help of this forum, I was able to get past my problem. Im glad to say I now have a phone that is functioning very smoothly with CM7 and the apps I need.
Next step for me is figuring out how to save my apps to the SD card so that I can install from there if/when I update my ROM in the future.
Thanks again for the help!
Get titanium backup FTW.
BANG! from my shooter...
I was trying to install a 4.4 Rom I tried CM, Carbon, Slim, and a couple of others that are 4.4 and they all fail saying ,"Installation fails with set_metdata_recursive: some changes failed."
I can install CM 10.1.3 perfectly but thats it. I am using CWM. I just got this phone yesterday and this is my first android so please be patient if I don't understand something fully.
Found something interesting that I will try when I get home.

Ok well after long research I figured it out. My CWM was outdated. Once I updated it everything worked perfect. I found a zip and flashed the update within CWM then I installed the custom rom with no problem at all
This was a great learning experience to say the least. Very frustrating at first but I feel like I am getting a lot more familiar with android now. Thank you to this forum for all the great information even if I didn't get any response. The searching took awhile. Had to read many threads and posts before I could come up with a solution.
Hi, I haven't find a post with this very same problem in a N7000 phone.
Like 2 years ago I had a problem with my Note, a friend helped me and that ended up in Rooting and ParanoidAndroid 2.x.
A few weeks ago I started feeling my phone quite slow, thought it was time for a fresh start.
I downloaded the latest ParanoidAndroid, 4.x, and tried to flash it using CWM and it failed, error status 7. So I tried with 2 or 3 more roms, same luck. So I started to look for this status 7 error. Found out that I could edit the file rom/meta-inf/com/google/android/updater-script to alter the assert lines. That didn't work either.
After reading a bit more I found out about twrp, lots of users had this very same problem and twrp had solved it for them. Well, that was frustrating, there wasn't any official release for the n7000 phone. I had found a post explaining how to compile it from a linux machine, post creator's posted an .img file but just as an example, it was outdated and I don't have a linux machine here with me nor the knowledge to feel confidence on compiling.
After trying some .tar.md5 flashes with ODIN, I got frustrated 'cause they were all working. But those roms are the least, most of the new ones (P.A. included, the one I got to fall in love with), come in .zip format. So, last try, started looking for some PA ROMs in .zip format. Again, no luck.
So, I'm running out of options. I was peacefuly hoping you could guide me in the right direction. I'm no guru but after reading for 2 straight days I think I'd be able to follow any sort of steps you'd suggest to me. I honestly feel confident enough to solve this issue.
Looking forward to your input people, I'm sure you're all more versed than me in the matter!
Thanks.
The rom you are trying to flash is a kitkat rom. To flash you will need newer version of cwm or twrp recovery. As recovery is merged with kernel in note, it's not possible to update without changing the kernel. So from your current pa recovery, flash raw r4 kernel. After that reboot into recovery. This should update the Cwm recovery to 6.0.4+. Now wipe data and cache and flash the new rom.
I wanted to bring my phone back to life just to run some updated apps so i tried to install several roms in my phone but i always get status 7 error. The only one it worked so far was Mackay 2.999 but i wanted to try Marshmallow but not even Lolipop i could flash. I already followed some tips like removing the assert line from the updater-script file but it was worthless. I also read that it may be a problem related with recovery version so i tried looking for PhilZ Touch but it looks like there isnt any download link available so right now im using twrp 2.6.0.0 from Mackay build. Sorry if I repeated a thread but i looked in the forum and i havent seen any problem solved.
