"SOLVED" - Status 7 error at OTA update on CWM

I have HTC Sensation Z710e. It is S-Off and rooted. It contains stock rom (2.3.4). My device is bought in Dubai and three days ago I received an official update (Asia_India update 1.50 and I was told that there is another update after that 1.52) and I tried to update through CWM and I got error (status 7).
After that, I went and made my sensation SuperCID (everything went smoothy and got CID 11111111). When I tried to update again through CWM, same error appeared.
I was told that I should remove CID assert from update or something like that, I opened the update package on my computer but found nothing.
Need help, thanks.

u mean u tried to update an OTA thru CWM?

Yes, what did I do wrong? I know basically nothing about Linux and I come from Windows mobile.
I also tried to direct (not through CWM) update, It failed also

you can't apply the ota with cwm installed. It won't work.

Now what? Should I remove CWM, if yes, how? Or is there something else I am missing?

Hey buddy, although the assert statement removal method i told u works for updates that change a few files on filesystem, it wont work for this update as It makes changes to wifi drivers etc, and possibly the kernel itself which needs original recovery to update.
What u can do is, open the zip file of last update you applied, inside you will find a firmware.zip file. Inside this file is another file called recovery.img. Extract it. Take the CWM zip file, open it and delete the recovery.img file and add the newly extracted one. Basically, after doing this, you will have a flashable zip of original recovery.
Put it in /sdcard (root of sdcard) and reboot into bootloader (Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button and press the power button). It will detect the file and ask you to press volume up button to update. Do so and reboot phone. Now you will have the original recovery and you can install the update.
After installation, you can again flash CWM to get back to it.

[Q] Sensation xe update clarification

Hello ,
I have read many posts , some saying you can get the update if you are rooted/s-off and some say you cant .
I have sensationXE 2.3.4 1.73.707.4 10.58.9035. kernel : 2.6.35.13
I have Done S-off and root , but I did not flash the devise or install any rom still on stock
.
Will It be able to run the ota update when it pops in software update ?
What will have to do to install the update by the OTA file ( any special steps for this case ) ?
I have searched in the forum for this exact situation , I did not find . Please clarify this for me and for others with similar cases

u need stock recovery to install ota

If u r still stock 100% but rather s-off, u should be fine. Whenever u receive the update just take the update like it says too, no special instructions. When people say u lose root that means, no superuser, busybox, and so on. U should still keep s-off

You won't get it yet as the initial release is for EU unbranded handsets. Other regions will roll out soon I'd imagine, followed by branded handsets

No, you need stock recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

or download the stock file and install it from sd card

any guide on how to go back to stock recovery?

Ok you said you were stock and all you have done is S-off your Sensation XE and root it. If this is all you have done you still have the stock recovery and you can just download the OTA update file and place it on the root of your SD card. Then boot your Sensation into the boot loader by either taking your battery out or go into settings/power and uncheck the box for fastboot. You have to do either one of these to make sure your device is completely powered down. Next you need to power on your Sensation while holding the volume down button dow. Then use the volume rocker to scroll to recovery and press the power button. Then just follow the on screen instructions to flash the OTA file.if the file does not appear you either do not have the file on the root of your SD card or the file is not properly named. Post back here with your results.

thank you for this info dear sir.
Do u think i should do it this way or
wait for my update notification to pop ( will i be able to install it if am rooted) ?

You are welcome, as far as if you should wait or not that is totally up to you. The only draw back to not waiting really is that you will not have certain apps that your carrier includes in the ROM for their Sensation. Like for example if I flashed it now and did not wait for the OTA update message to pop up on my phone I will not have any of the T-Mobile apps on my Sensation, the only one I care about anyway is the WiFi hotspot app. But I think you see what I am talking about. Plus if you do not wait you will have to S-off your Sensation and write Super CID to your Sensation to flash the available ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update file. The drawback to waiting is just waiting lol. Well that and the fact that if there is ever another OTA update for your Sensation you will have to flash the correct stock ICS update for your Sensation to get it via OTA and not by downloading it, placing it on the root of your SD card, and then booting into the stock recovery to flash of.

Sorry I just now saw that you had edited your post. If it says CLOCKWORKMOD Recovery v5.0.0.8 then you do not have the stock recovery you have Clockworkmod Recovery wich is a custom recovery. So you will have to flash the stock recovery back to your Sensation before you can flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update, if it was not so late I would see if I could not put together a Clockworkmod and other custom recovery flashable .zip file so everyone would not have to revert back to stock recovery to flash the OTA update. Anyway to revert back to stock recovery you will need to flash a stock ROM back to your Sensation. And seeing as you are Super CID you can flash any stock ROM you want. Just go to here to download a official stock ROM. All the ROMs in the link are RUU.exe files so you will have to connect your Sensation to your computer via your USB cord and then run the RUU.exe. Once you have flashed the stock ROM you just need to follow my directions from my other post and you should be good to go.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes i didn't think the whole number was a requirement for everyone to see after I sent it to you, do you have any other suggestions? apprentley I can do it manually using these instructions:
Check your device’s SKU through the following procedure.
On the tablet, go into Settings » About tablet. Then, check the Build number.
If the build number starts with “TW”, your SKU is TW. Similarly, if your build number starts with “US”, you must download the firmware for the US SKU. Similarly for WW, you need to download the WW firmware.
Download the update for your SKU from the official ASUS website. Select Android from the drop-down box, click on Firmware, then download the latest update’s file.
Extract the downloaded zip file once to obtain another zip file.
Now, we need to copy the obtained zip file to the tablet.
If you have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed on the tablet, copy the zip file obtained in step 3 to the internal SD card.
If you are on stock recovery on the tablet, rename the file to ”EP201_768_SDUPDATE”, then copy it to the external SD card.
[Important] Now, further steps depend on whether you have stock recovery on the tablet or are using a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP recovery. Follow step 6 if you have stock recovery on the tablet, or step 7 if on a custom recovery.
For stock recovery
Shut down the tablet. Hold Power + Vol Down buttons until a message appears saying “Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)”. Here, press the Volume Up key within 5 seconds to enter recovery.
The update will automatically start installing, then the tablet will reboot after the update is finished.
You can now stop following the guide as your tablet has now been updated.
For custom recovery
Shut down the tablet. Hold Power + Vol Down buttons until a message appears saying “Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)”. Here, press the Volume Up key within 5 seconds to enter recovery.
Select wipe cache, then select Yes to confirm cache wipe (if using TWRP recovery, select Wipe, then select Cache/dalvik cache).
Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to and select the update file that you copied to the tablet in step 4. Confirm installation by selecting Yes on the next screen. (if using TWRP recovery, select Install, then select the update file)
After the update is installed, select go back then select reboot system now to reboot the tablet (if using TWRP recovery, select the Reboot system button to reboot the tablet).
After the tablet reboots, it will be running the latest firmware.

People reported that one factory reset did not do the wipe completely, 2 should be enough, but I like to play on the "super clean wipe", I do it 3 times right before you upgrade. Not going to hurt, why not?

Don't worry about the OTA, this is the incremental update, you want the full version update anyway. Just follow the direction that you posted above. Do you want to root your device? if you do, you need to do it now before upgrade to Jelly Bean. Once you're on Jellybean, you can't root anymore.

Not a problem, just downgrade back to .30, then do root. Just make sure you do reset in between before downgrade or upgrade. After downgrade back to .30, please let me know if you have OTA back for JB upgrade.

If you don't want to unlock, the only way is you have to downgrade back to .30, root, install OTA rootkeeper and make a root backup, then do the OTA upgrade to JB, then restore root with OTA rootkeeper.

At the end of the procedure I can't launch recovery because a red triangle with exclamation mark appares.
Do I have to rename the ota zip file?
Sent from my HTC One SV using xda app-developers app

You have to make sure that the android-info.txt file is listing your cid and mid. If not it needs to be included or else your device will not recognize the ota or simply put, abort.
Edit: wanted to include that you should look in the firmware.zip within the ota. If you are supercid you will be fine, but you still have to set up the mid.

The boost version is not an official version. It will indeed work very well, but given the two bugs that are listed in the OP of that thread, it can become annoying. Bluetooth works, messaging works, internet with WiFi works, everything works, except the two bugs. Myself and @russellvone spoke about the two bugs just recently and have decided to wait until the official OTA for boost comes out. When it does we are going to take some stuff from it and apply it to the port Rom I have shared on here. We expect it to not only fix the two known bugs but provide a 4.2.2 Rom without ANY bloatware that boost tries to slam us with.

2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Awesome
Amazing! you done it again @muniz_ri downloaded and installed perfectly!

Is there a way to root without having to flash back to nj4? I'm already on OC3 and a non-odin method like on nj4 would be pretty nice.

Instructions:
1. Extract the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup from the .rar archive and place it into the following folder: ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxx, fyi...the name of this folder will vary. If the folder does not already exist you must first use safestrap to create a nandroid backup and Safestrap will create the folder for you.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
3. From the main menu press "Restore," then select and restore the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup.
4. Once complete from the main menu press "Reboot," then reboot into "Download" mode.
5. Last, flash the I337_OC3_Stock_Partitions using Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+) and reboot. Done!
Upon reboot the Safestrap Recovery splash screen will flash a few times before pausing on the AT&T splash screen for about 2 minutes before completely rebooting. **You will no longer be able to access Safestrap Recovery from 5.0 (see notes below for workaround)**
Optional Tethering AddOn:
1. Place the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Install," then select and install the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn(Do not wipe prior to flashing!).
3. Reboot. Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC3 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery by flashing back the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel (reflash the I337_OC3_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).
4. The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

dude, thanks for your reply,
i guess i was not clear, i am unrooted on NJ4 and need to remain unrooted to 5.0
I use GOOD for Enterprise for work email hence the need to remain unrooted.
