Hello Folks,
First I have to say that I watched the noob video and read everything about E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/cm-10.0.0.-galaxysmtd.zip (Status 7) on this forum and what google gave me.
My situation:
PC OS is Windows 7 64bit (if someone needs to know)
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
SSN: I9000GSMH
What happend:
I bought a used phone about two months ago with latest installed stock rom 2.3.5 it is. Then i downloaded cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and followed the instructions on wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. I installed CWM with Heimdall Suite. Everything worked well.
Today I decided to install a newer version of CM, I downloaded the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd and copied them both on the phone memory. I turned off the phone and turned it on in recovery mod, and I got the recovery mode that was on cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd installed. It wasn't the standard CWM that I installed with Heimdall Suite. I wiped with it data and cache and installed cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and then rebooted the phone. But the phone got stuck and didn't want to reboot. So i tried to go to recovery mod again to reinstall the cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd but the phone couldn't access the recovery mod anymore.
After that I reinstalled with Heimdall Suite the ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod Kernel like the first time I did. and successfully booted to recovery mod and again wiped cache and data and tried to install cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd when i got the error
This is the image, just copy/paste in address bar.
imageshack.us/f/685/07032008448.jpg
So, now my phone has no OS installed.
There are some other issues too, I can't mount my external sd card in CWM, why, I don't know, so I only have cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd on my phone memory to install.
I would really really like if someone could help me to solve my problem, I have no other phone. And please when you tell to install something give me the needed link because I really downloaded a lot of things that didn't work.

you having the wrong CWm installed, you can go to this link to download the cf-root kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 hope this will help .
BTW when flashing JB from GB you need to flash CM9 then follow by CM10, if you can try flash it from GB 2.3.6 (E.g xxjvu)
i try flashing JB from GB is work if i flash twice but i got missing IMEI. so i suggest you following this step to flash.
GB(stock rom with ROOT) - ICS(CM7) - JB(CM10)

First off all thanks for helping.
I tried this one:
CF-ROOT-4.4-I9000BGJW5-1187857
CF-Root-4.4-I9000BOJW6-CL1177078
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1 (this one didn't want to start recovery at all)
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
all I got from all of them is this

Member Chainfire said "THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a kernel. You need to have a firmware already on your device"
I don't know really what that means. Probably that I have to install something else too, but what ?
Please can you tell me ?
And which of these CF-Roots is the right one, or the newest one, or how do recognize that ?
Thanks everyone who helps me.

Well, I solved my problem, now i have cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd ROM installed. If someone has this problem, this is one way how to solve it (but doesn't mean it's the best one).
If you have no ROM installed on your I9000 and don't know which kernel to use, try this way:
Watch this video on YouTube that user "Puggered UK" uploaded:
youtube.com/watch?v=iRnH13sRAIc
- You can skip to 1.52 because you don't have any ROM on your phone, and download the EZ Odin package from the link in the About section (4shared.com/archive/TuHUfVjA/EZOdin.html).
- Start EZ Odin, put the PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC file in the right box, connect your phone in download mode to the PC and press START, and wait till the process is complete.
- After a while you should have Android 2.3.? installed on your phone.
- Update Google market to Google play, then update ROM Manager, and start ROM Manager. Choose to Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, choose your phone and flash it.
- Copy on your internal sd memory cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd that you downloaded from CyanogenMod web site.
- Restart your phone in Recovery mod, wipe data/cache, and install cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd from internal sd card.
- Then, when it's done restart the phone, and do the last step again in Cyanogen CW recovery.
- After it's done, restart the phone and you will have CM 10 on your phone installed.
Or just watch the video and you will se what to do.

Well, I help you as much as I can and know, just write me where you stuck. And if you have some difficulties explaining it in English, dann kannst du mir auch auf deutsch schreiben, das verstehe ich auch
I had this status 7 thing 2 yesterday while installing cm10. It also seemed I couldnt get into recovery. What I had to do is flash the zip 4 times. First time it got stuck at boot.
So I took battery out & try to get in to recovery (volume up+home button+power button & -->release buttons the moment u see bootanimation<--) but it started bootlooping/got stuck again.
So I took battery out again, did the 3 button combo for the second time & I waited a little longer, a minute maybe 2 & it went to recovery. (I guess the first time it didnt went straight to recovery like it normally does, I wasnt patient enough). If not getting into recovery with waiting the first time just try to keep getting in recovery with 3 button combo & wait a couple of minutes. Eventually it does. I had the same thing 2 months ago coming from jb-->ics-->cm10, thats how I remembered.
Didnt wipe a thing just went straight to the zipfile & flashed it in total 4 or 5 times till it said install completed on the screen. Didnt wipe nothing in between the flashing
Then flashed gapps & voila

I tried like hundred times or more, but every time with the same result and I also tried with different kernels without success. Maybe some other error caused your status 7 error than mine. But anyway, it's always good to try all possibilities to resolve the problem.
Haha I went crazy not getting into recovery 2 months ago I did it at least 15 times till it eventually got into recovery. Weird cuz I released it the moment I saw cyanogen boot animation. I had to wait a lil longer after releasing so it seems & better timing maybe but only with flashing cm10 from stock. The error was the same tho I saw your picture

Unfortunately I wasn't that lucky, but I tell you something else. Now I know that no matter what I do and how badly i brick my phone I can always use that method to bring it to life back. So it's kind of final help that works if nothing else works
by the way did you apply sdcard:update zip? Or choose zip from sd card?

I choose zip from sd card because I forgot to rename the file before copying to sd card, and when I lost my bricked my phone it was already to late to rename it. But i don't think that that was the problem, I mean it's just a name string that has no meaning after all.
hey guys,
finally i made it...
thx adobih for your offer, but i'll try to do it in english...think(hope) my english is not that bad
so my problem was the following, slightly different from yours:
i bought a used Galaxy S I9000 for my girlfried as a christmas present cause her Galaxy Ace is the worst Android-phone i ever saw ^^
this "new" Galaxy S has never been rooted before, it never enjoyed a custom ROM - completely stock with 2.2.1 froyo ^^
Here is, what i did to get cm10 stable to work:
1. Updated android to latest official android 2.3.6 with Samsung Kies
2. then i followed the step "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" from here
--- ATTENTION: Heimdall 1.3.2 screwed things up (due to a bug i think, only download-mode was available afterwards), use Heimdall 1.3.1 to be safe
3. then i pushed cm 9.1 stable, cm 10.0 stable and latest gapps for 10.0 to the device
4. then i flashed cm 9.1 stable via CWM - an Error occured
5. then i selected "reboot system" in CWM (NOT "reboot recovery"!!)
6. device reboots and starts to install CM 9.1 Stable on its own
7. booted to the now "new" CWM installed by cm 9.1 zip
8. flashed cm 9.1 zip again
8. booted cm 9.1 normally, everything was working fine
9. booted into cwm
10. flashed cm 10.0 zip - an error occured
11. then i selected "reboot system" in CWM (NOT "reboot recovery"!!)
12. device reboots and starts to install CM 10.0 Stable on its own
13. booted to the now "new" CWM installed by cm 10.0 zip
14. flashed cm 10.0 zip again
15. a warning occured "incompatible filesystem, flash again to confirm"
16. flashed cm 10.0 zip again
17. booted cm 10.0 normally, everything was working fine
18. booted CWM again, flashed gapps
19. booted cm 10.0 normally, everything was working fine
I was not able to flash cm 10.0 directly after flashing codeworxs kernel with heimdall. think this is related to changed partition sizes and stuff...
device only booted to CWM again, i was not able to boot the system - bootloop. Once i tried to flash cm10, there was no success when trying to flash cm 9 after that.
i tried it 3-4 times to flash cm 10 directly with no success. i checked md5 sums of the downloaded files, but everything was fine.
the detour with cm 9.1 was the only way to get it to work.
after trying to flash cm10 directly it always screwed something and was not able to get any further.
to start again, i had to go back to stock with odin. For that i used these instructions and files. (its in german, but very well illustrated, so all of you should be able to follow the steps).
When starting from stock, you can follow the steps above and everything should be fine.
took me some hours to figure out the correct order of the steps....
this is a slightly different problem as the one in op, so i decided to provide my solution here.
the heimdall 1.3.2-bug occured with the i9000 of a friend of mine, too. only heimdall 1.3.1 did what it was supposed to.
for all people interested: i decided to flash semaphore kernel for better customization options....running pretty well
EDIT: thx to everybody in this thread posting your experiences, all together it pointed me to the solution.. THX!

More or less I think we both had the same problem, because I also used this link wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide and heimdall 1.3.2 for flashing my phone. Just it always finished successfully so I didn't realize it was the root of all problems. I used also then Odin from the youtube video that I posted in a few posts earlier, installed Android 2.3.6 and then installed ROM Manager from Google play, and used the app to flash to ClockworkMod Recovery. After that I installed directly CM10 stable with success, and without CM9 detour.
I give up ;/ I cannot install any samsung rom above 4.3. When I do, my phone stucks on samsung logo and just refuse to turn on (its not a bootloop - it doesnt restart)
I have xxbmb4 bootloader, I have installed this rom and Hbo Kernel. What else can I do?
p.s. I can install any AOSP rom and it works just fine. And yes I do full wipe every time
No need to give up
I had the same problem yesterday.
My device was on 4.3 and I flashed Philz touch recovery and did a backup without a problem. But when i restored a backup and rebooted it was stuck at the Samsung logo. After trying so many things all day (wiping, cleaning caches, trying to root, reflashig recovery, .... ) following was worked.
flashed 4.4.4 STOCK-Official rom using Odin v3.07. then it booted SUCCESSFULLY.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
then rooted it using the following guide (did not use any recovery. Only rooted it using CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5. and installed SuperSU version 2.02 provided in the post.

but then I will have new bootloader with this KNOX sh1t right ? ;/
