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.

Lately, I've been trying to flash 3 custom roms on my ace.
Everytime I was dissapointed to see a status 7 error in CWM.
First, I thought it was something in the particular rom that i'd tried to flash. But when I tried to flash PAC rom this morning, I started to think whether it might be caused by my current rom: CM9 final from Mclaw.
At first, I've tried to flash the cm7.2 rc3 blackhawk/firekernel roms. One suggestion that was made by someone was that It might me a problem to flash cm7.2 over cm9. He advised me to try to flash stock again and then try again.
But I've tried to flash pac rom this morning, and again, I received a status 7 error. I cannot believe that it is just bad luck that I download roms with errors in the updater-script.
Is it possible there is some incompatibility flashed by cm9 so other roms cannot be flashed right now?
please, close/delete topic. I've tried to delete it myself.
Posted the question in the Q&A section....
I tried to post this in the CM11 development thread, but it says I haven't posted enough, so I'm going to share it here, hopefully someone will move it.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to install the CM11 update, and encountered various errors. When I tried to go back to 4.2 ROMS, I couldn't get them loaded again either. These were fully clean and formatted installs. The errors (and I'm trying to post them as items people like me search on) include Status 7, symlink error, /sd-ext not found, and various other errors such as no error getting reported, but the blue progress thermometer never moving, then saying installation complete.
What I finally found out was when I followed the instructions in the CM11 update thread, it gave a link to the latest CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery, which I used. I finally went back and tried CWM 6.0.4.5 which worked just fine. There's nothing special nor unusual about my particular phone, and like I said, I wound up doing clean installs eventually, so this might be a fairly common problem that might be getting blamed on the ROMs.
So if someone can share this information either back in the CM11 thread or the CWM thread, it might help someone from throwing their phone through the window.
Thanks all!
Hello guys,
I have a samsung gt-i9000 with cyanogen 10.1.3 and a few days ago I had experienced some problems, the home button stopped working. I tried quite a few things, based on the info I found on this site and others (like factory reset), but no joy.
SO I thought to myself, better reflash the ROM, but to be honest, if I do that, I might as well install the latest one (10.2.1), and so I decided to do that, but before I start I have a few questions:
I had a look around but I couldn't really find a definite answer to the following questions, so I thought I might post here.
1)Has anybody encountered any issue on the gt-i9000 with the latest ROM?
2)Can I backup all my apps, upgrade the ROM and then reinstall everything from the backup, rather than downloadeing all the apps again? I have never done that before, so I am not sure if it is possible
3)I had a look at the cyanogen mode site and found the relevant info http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd, but I was wondering something: occasionally on my phone a message appears
and asks me whether I want to update the ROM to the latest available one. I have always dismissed that, but I am thinking, can I do the upgrade from there without going through the trouble of reflashing
it (following the instructions above), or is it essentially the same thing?
4)In the instructions it says "The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3.". Now, last time I have upgraded - from cyanogen 7 to 10.1 - I attempted to install directly 10 over 7 and things
went horrible wrong. I then reflashed the ROM to 2.3 and then installed cyanogen 10.1 and it was OK. DO I have to do the same thing again and install 2.3. first and then 10.2? If so where do I get 2.3 from?
Thanks
Sorry, can somebody move this under questions, just realized that this isn't the right place.

1) Didn't use CM, been on OmniROM
2) You can use Titanium Backup
3)Yeah, you could do that, update it via CMUpdater
4)Just before you install a ROM with a higher android Version, always wipe /system partition.
cool thanks!

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.
