[Q] Cannot install any KitKat ROM : some symlinks failed (status 7) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am very happy because I have my Nexus One back after borring it to my father. I really want to install Kitkat. However, I couldnt because I have this blocking error message when installing any zip ROM : symlink : some symlinks failed
I did not find any solution on Internet
For information :
o I have the same issue with ClockWork recovery and TWRP 2.6.0.0
o I tried to un-mount /cache
o I can install CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.3) without issue with the same method
o I used BlackRose and resized system to 250 MB and cache to 16 MB
Is there someone who want and can help me ?
Thank you in advance

Up
Nobody can help me on this topic ? I will never be able to jump to kitkat ?

The exact same issue here for any ROM except CM7.
BlackRose S-OFF here and CWM Recovery. Tried also with 4EXT and TWRP, but same and no clue why it always do :
"Insallation Aborted."
Help Please?

Ok...a few things I recommend:
- Use 4EXT recovery...it is the best and has a touch interface as well
- Use the latest Evervolv nightly build for Nexus One...they are on 4.4.4
I am using the above with System at 220, Cache 8, Rest data, and it works really well.
Symlinks failed means there is not enough system memory to install the ROM.
Also, for Google apps us the slim Google Apps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265564.
Hope this helps.

@viditbhargava:
Thanks for helping you. I still have the same issue and 2 questions :
o You think it is an issue with system space. Your system has 220 MB, mine has 250 MB. Why does it not work on my phone ?
o You suggest the last beta of Evervolv nightly build. According to the "official" page (http://evervolv.com/devices/passion), the last version is 4.0. Where can we found the KitKat version ?
Thanks again.

Hey,
Sorry taking too long to reply.
I forgot to suggest you something else which is essential and very helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265564
The Slim Factory which removes unnecessary files and drastically reduces the size of the installer zip. There is an automated script written found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41251249#post41251249
As for the last Kitkat nightly that Evervolv released for Nexus One, I have the installer zip but I can't upload it here. You could try and post on their IRC asking them to enable the download of the last nightly.
Hope this helps.

[Q] ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.5U1 Passion <2012-05-28> (Bravo CM9 HWA)

Hi,
I installed the latest BlackRose and Bravo CM9 HWA RC3.5U1.
With BlackRose I set system to 180MB as explained in BCM thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557606
and 95MB cache as seen in Desire BCM thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
linking to : http://alpharev.nl/
that is now : http://revolutionary.io/
Since we have 436MB on nexus one, that gets me : 180/95/161 for system/cache/data.
As soon as I installed 2 or 3 apps.... it get errors stating my data partition is full.
Some apps such as Adobe Flash can't be moved to SD card or so it seems. I also don't find the option to automatically install apps on SD card instead of data partition.
Can anyone tell me what repartition I should use and how to setup my phone? Thanks.
u dont need 95 for cache. 5 shd be enuf. so resize wid blackrose 180/5/251 or else headover to this thread and find the correct flashable hboot and flash it from recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637166

Ask question in the ROM thread for more effective answer. I use a partition of 220/20, and it seems to be working ok.
Awesome, thanks for the links i'll try this partitionning : 180/5/251 that should be better
PS : I can't post elsewhere I have only 2 posts at the moment, I need 10 usefull posts.
I would advise for at least 220 MB for system. With last BCM from dk_zero_cool, mine is already using 200 out of 225. May depend on what you are installing, though

[L5][E610/E612] Discussion thread for Official CM10 Nightlies

By example of this thread, I thought it would be convenient to also create a separate thread for our L5. I will update this first post with relevant information and links when needed.
Info
CyanogenMod's site: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Announcement on Google+ by CM: link
Screenshots by luKi13223: link
Screenshots by Sirrocco with dpi lowered to 130 and theme applied: link
Requirements
Properly unlocked boot loader (here, a guide on top of first post)
Root/working CWM
Ability to read and common sense
Downloads
Nightlies started building. You can get the latest build from http://get.cm/?device=e610 OR http://10.cmxlog.com/?device=e610
CWM Recovery by Ricardo Cerqueira (CyanogenMod): Direct download. Alternatively you can download the flashable zip provided in the attachment, it's the same, but easier to install if you already had a recovery installed.
Google Apps (GAPPS) for Jelly Bean/CM10: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Short Installations guide
Make sure you meet the requirements
Download needed files (see above) and place them on your internal sd card
Update your ClockWorkMod Recovery to v6.0.2.8 (you can do this by using terminal, adb (guide) or use the flashable zip I've attached
This will avoid status(7) error messages and prevent issues with ROM Manager.
Flash "cm-10-build date-NIGHTLY-e610.zip" from your internal sd card with CWM (or if you prefer with ROM Manager)
[*]Optional: Flash custom kernel by PinkFlozd: link to thread WARNING: Don't install this kernel with builds created on 21 april 2013 or later (at least not untill someone updates the kernel)
Optional: Flash "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip"
After first boot see if your receiving any signal (provided your normally have any signal on that spot). If not, don't worry, a simple reboot might fix it.
Enjoy
Bugs:
Considering these are the very first nightly builds of CM10 for our device, the dev did a pretty great job. Almost everything is working. Thanks to him :highfive:
Network / data is not working after 1st boot. A simple reboot after a few minutes might fix this
Multi-touch not fully working (dual touch works)?
SD card is full error, while there is still room left (up to at least 300 MB). I haven't experienced this bug in a while, it may be fixed, but I'm not sure.
Accelerometer
Small mods/Fixes
Wake with Home key
Pinkflozd's custom kernel[/COLOR]. Supports multi-touch and allows for overclocking. His kernel doesn't work with builds after April 14th

Will the developer look here for bugs? Or is there some other way to report CM10 bugs?
Anyway, I noticed that it drains battery much faster than the stock rom too.
Tonight it drained 20% of battery just by standby.

First install the recovery provide by CM. This will fix this problem. You will need to copy your flashables zips and back ups to the internal SD-card, because this version only mounts internal SD (instead of only the external)

I don't know if he will look here. We could inform him about it, when we have more clarity about the bugs.
My main purpose was to concentrate talk about CM10 in one place, because in the other thread also other subjects were discussed and it got messy. And we might help each other here with CM10 related problems.

thank you buddy..but where can we get recovery provide by CM?
For Instalation aborted :
Open downloaded zip by winrar or 7zip.
Open Meta-inf>google>android>updater-script
Open updater-script by notepad++
Delete first lane in updater-script
Save and rebuild archive (automaticly)
Copy your package to sd card and instal via cwm

The new nightly does seem to lag a little as opposed to the original one.
The first one was smoother I've noticed.
E617
Has anyone tried CM10 for the E617 version of the L5? I'm to much of a newb to try it myself, I wouldn't be able to find my way back if I screwed-up my phone.
Bootlop
Im on cm bootloop about 20 minutes WHEN THIS WILL BOOT UP
I noticed that this cm10 for e610 has a kind of problem with multitouch,I have played shadow gun,modern combat 3 and modern combat 4 and six guns and in all these 4 games, I noticed that I can't move at the same time that I shoot,I wait that they solve this problem in next updates ;p

E: I found out why there is a bootloop, we didn't took the right bootloader, see here my tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186161 - if you do everything like i did, everything will work properly
Use older build, idk - new is more bugged :/ Old working smarter than new.
OK, I've got it installed (nightly 20130310), first I installed the provided CWM (6.0.2.8), had to do that manually though, because for some reason Rom Manager destroyed the 6.0.2.5 version I had when I tried to install CWM through Rom Manager.
It's running smoothly, although I also see a little graining in the screen. I had no data issues.
Also, booting didn't take that long.
One strange phenomenon:
I had FreeL5 running before CM10. Before flashing CM10 I did a factory reset from CWM, cleaned cache and Dalvik cache. After booting CM10 for the first time, my WiFi settings were still there... hadn't expected that, but since I'm on a corporate WiFi connection which needs a username and password to connect, it was nice not to have to retype it :victory:

[Solved] No sdcard after flash The_apes Flashable zip in clockwork

Hi !
I have a 32 Gb Touchpad on CM10.1 and i'd like to upgrade on CM11 with Milaq ROM.
So, i downloaded The_apes Flashable zip (this one : sys_512mb_data_plus_24576mb-signed.zip) and i flash it with ClockworkMod 5.x. I've got 2 errors like this.
After that, i flashed with the new ClockworkMod 6.x, but, now, when i want to flash ROM, i've got only 0/ and obb/ folders. I can't acces to sdcard/cminstall.
Boot on Android works fine, but, what i have to do to finish my upgrade on CM11 ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Edit : on ES Explorer you have to activate root access to see /data/media/0

Welcome to the world of DataMedia.
In CM10.1 use a Root Browser app (e.g. ROM Toolbox lite) or a file manager app with root permissions (e.g. ES File Explorer or X-Plore) to move your CM11 ROM zip to a directory accessible to your new CWM recovery.
Myself I store all my ROM and recovery zips in the Download directory, where Chrome and Firefox also download files to.
e.g.
/storage/sdcard0/Download
/data/media/0/Download
Thanks woodytrain for your quick reply.
I tried to put my ROM /storage/sdcard0/Download but it's the same, i don't see this folder.
In /data, i've no folder
I tried to find obb/ with ES Explorer and it found it on /mnt/, is it normal ?
Last thing, i gone in WebOS in order to use Tailor and found this partition layout, i think it's not ok to flash KitKat :
USB (media) = 25.43 Gib
Android (system) = 408 Mib
Android (cache) = 200 Mib
Android (data) = 1.5 Gib
Unused Space = 8 Mib
I don't knom how to install KK on my touchpad. I don't understand because i don't thing to be a newbie, i flashed i9000 on CM 10.2, Touchpad on CM10.1, but KK made me crazy !
Thanks for your help !
You need to change your partition sizes. At the very least need to increase /system
And if you want to install a DataMedia (DM) ROM, you need to make additional adjustments.
Right now there are three (or four) KitKat (4.4.2) ROM's for the TouchPad (tenderloin) to choose from:
CM11 - 3.0 kernel (Milaq) - DM
CM11 - 3.4 kernel (invisiblek) - DM
Evervolv - AOSP - 3.4 kernel (flintman) - (two version:- one DM and one not)
If you want to install KitKat on your TouchPad will need to do some reading. Keep in mind all these KK 3.x kernel based ROMs are in development (experimental and/or for testing). Each has its own pros and cons, and various TouchPad features are not yet working, features you might have observed working in previous JB 2.6 kernel ROMs.
If you want to stay with JB, until KK is better baked for the TouchPad you may want to try out the new JB 3.x kernel ROM just released from jcscullins (01-25-14). It is NOT a DM ROM, whereas Milaq's CM10.2 (JB) is a DM ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811480
Suggestions:
1. For each ROM you are interested in thoroughly read the OP. And suggest reading, at the minimum the last five pages of each thread.
2. Then visit [ROM GUIDE] How to Update/Install Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 Builds on the HP TouchPad
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321397
3. Be sure to read the info on how to update your partition for DM support. If you decide to go with a DM ROM, I would suggest using Tailor to change your partitions since you have Tailor installed on your device already.
4. Backup your device before proceeding. Generate a nandroid backup in your recovery as well as back up your app/data with Titanium Backup
5. A "full wipe" in your recovery (factory reset, including clearing caches, formatting /system) is generally recommended when doing major upgrades (not just a nightly flash of the same ROM).
Once you have chosen a ROM to install, and have downloaded the zips for both the matching ROM and Recovery zips (note each ROM has it's own specific recovery version matched to the ROM), then you should be ready to upgrade.
If you have questions before upgrading post your SPECIFIC questions/issues, identifying the ROM version you are coming from and going to.
Thanks woodytrain for your help.
I understood what i missed : root explorer button on Es Explorer
So, now, i can see my files with clockwork Recovery, yes ! I put them in /data/media/0/Download.
After that, i'm gone on Tailor to resize my partitions.
Now, i have :
600 Mb for system
200 Mb for cache
15 Go for media
and ~ 6 Go for data, it's not enough but don't care now...
So, i flashed my rom (Milaq CM11) and gapps (after factory reset, format /system, clear /cache) but now, when i boot on cyanogen, i've cyanogen logo and that's all... only a blank screen, i think i'will made an other post except if you have an idea

Not sure what is meant by "15 Go for media". Recommend you follow the partition instructions as listed in the OP of Milaq's CM11 ROM thread. At any rate...
Before you started the process did you do a nandroid, and backup your apps and data with TiBu or helium?
Then when you did the wipe, did you clear Dalvick cache as well?
And then did you flash the CWM recovery version listed in the OP of Milaq's CM11 ROM thread (CWM 6.0.4.6)? You MUST use that version.
http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/misc/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-tenderloin.zip
You might want to redo the process and hold off installing gapps until you have booted into CM11. Then go back to recovery and install the gapps listed in the OP. Or install one of the PA-gapps packages.
With a few more posts you receive the right to post to the ROM dev thread. Joy!
I reply only to increase my posts and because i made a big big mistake after this post, i formated all partitions on clockworkmod (6.0.4.6 ). So i will create an other thread on forum...
Mad and Confused
I was duped into updating to 4.4 evervolv when i was on their 4.3.1 rom and im not understanding the layout of my sd-card now. i know all my info is still there but unsure how to reformat so i can use all my space. 32gb touchpad. i will use root explore app to get all my data but can i use onboard storage app to format? Really pissed im in this situation at all. Stupid to be on a 4.3.1 rom and update only to find out it's now a 4.4 rom and my sd-card is different. Thanks much
Nevermind, got it sorted. Good excuse to repartition and reformat everything. Still want nothing from evervolv but there 16mb Gapps package, mwahaha

[Q] help on CM11 EMMC install

I am trying to install CM11 EMMC to my nook HD+ with stock rom on it. The instruction I followed is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
1.Download the initial sdcard image
2.ungzip and write to sdcard using dd (winimage or whatever for those stuck on Windows)
3.Instert the card into your nook and reboot
4.Flash the recovery image
5.Flash cm11 image
6.Flash whatever other extra things you need like gapps
7.remove the sdcard
8.reboot the nook
I did wipe data and cache after step 3. I finished steps 4 and 5. However, flashing gapps in step 6 failed with information of error in gapps zip file [status 6]. The gapps is downloaded from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
I use the mini modular package. I am quite sure the gapps zip file is good since i have finished SD install with the gapps zip file. However, it failed in EMMC install. Now the nook can boot to CM11, but without any google stuff.
Any suggestion?
I'd suggest that you try a different, smaller size package (you can always add those apps not included later from the Playstore).
Also, if needed an alternate source for Gapss is http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps, use the "small" version.
Thanks for the suggestion. Other gapps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2397942 does not work. The gapps on the wiki page works, though it is for 4.4.2. I think the orginal thread on CM11 EMMC install should notice users on the possible problem.

I'm a total newbie to this but I think I have the same issue.... This is what I done and the results:
Used Win32imager onto 32gb Sandisk to write unpacked image of emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz then loaded onto card the following files:
cm-11-20141212-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip
Re-booted and did backup of stock and cleared/formatted internal card. Installed cwmrecovery images, and CM11 nightly. Tried installing to gapps stock and mini both came up with a Status 6 failed installation error .
Tried reverting to stock and couldn't recover due to error so re-installed CM and had same error. Copied off and removed restore apks to ensure enough space and tried again - still
status 6 error.
Checked to see whether script files has LF/CR but script file is dummy and the binary all seems to be in LF format. Running out of ideas as all of this is new to me.
So looks like i'm in same situation - HD+ which boots to CM but no stock googleapps.
I know it doesn't help but looks like same issue - any ideas?

Did you try using the Gapps packages from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps? They are for CM11, the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version.

Deleted the pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip file.
Downloaded the two files from your link:
gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
dropped both onto the card, re-booted and installed the larger 20140606 version which installed without any error messages. Removed card and re-booted - extra apps all look in place. Will now make sure they all run OK.
Thanks very much for your help - much appreciated. Can you tell me what the difference is in the installers that make the PA versions crash or is that too long winded?

Did you perform a „factory reset” wipe? Changing ROMs kind of requires you to - a factory reset wipes the old sd-ext, and you still have it.
And are you sure you downloaded the right ROM? I can't access the RR site now, but they don't have ROMs for Thea.
What phone do you have, actually?

I have xt1045 4g
I've done all the procedures to install the rom .
but gave those mistakes.
try putting on a rom 5.1 stock xt1045 according to what I found here on xda but I do not install it .
the phone did not stay at the logo and not as most do.
Then you need to flash this ROM: CM Peregrine
Or this one: RR Peregrine
See the ROM's discussion thread here.
You are also on the wrong part of this forum - you'll get better advice here: Moto G
