[Q] Installation Aborted(Status 7)while Flashing GingerBread

HI,
I have recently compiled and flashed the 2.3.4-r1 Ginger Bread on my Nexus S
using these commands
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase userdata
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase cache
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash boot out/target/product/crespo/boot.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash system out/target/product/crespo/system.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/crespo/userdata.img
But now I want to go back and load the default image-2.3.6 Gingerbread (GRK39F) (which was there at the time of purchasing Nexus S).Is there a way to do this.I downloaded the ROM for it from somewhere on the net and stored it internally on my Nexus S but when I am going into the fastboot mode and then recovery and when trying to install from sd card option by selecting the downloaded ROM I am getting this error(error Attached)
--Install /sdcard

It seems the package you downloaded is for upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Try the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature

OK I will try the 2.3.6 .I will use the same procedure as used earlier.
Copying the ROM to internal memory and then select the ZIP file from the sd card.I hope wipe data/cache will be optional.

Thanks suksit !! It worked.I have my previous ROM now.I am happy !
Could you plz tell that why I didnt get more options in the Android Recovery Mode?I saw somethign clockwork Recovery , do I need to install such ROM?
RGds,

TRy downloading the correct rom from the below link. Make sure you check your phone model (9020/23 3G/4G etc)

Edit: I see that it is resolved now.. enjoy

You need an older recovery. Had the same issue but when using 3.x instead of 5.0.2.x the status 7 issue went away.

You have to install ClockworkMod recovery in order to get those options. It's not a ROM, it's a recovery image that you flash to replace the stock recovery.
You'll need it if you want to flash custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications that comes in an unsigned zip file. Otherwise you can just stick to the stock recovery.
Other benefits of CWM recovery are backup and restore functions, mount options, and the ability to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, etc.
To install CWM recovery, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it using fastboot command. I'd recommend you to follow the guides in Nexus S General section if you want to do it.

Installing 4EXT Recovery via HBOOT

Is there a way to install 4EXT recovery over HBOOT? I need to wipe all the bad data from a custom ROM install gone wrong & superwipe is giving me e-signature verification failed error. I am hoping to wipe then recover via 4EXT.

Yes it can be packaged as a PG58IMG.zip, placed on the root of Sd-card, and flash normally through hboot.

Stuck at "optimizing android app"

I've a huge problem
I've a Sensation 4g I was on stock ics and i followed the guide to get root, htc dev unlock e CWM... (still s.off) after that I installed 4ext and ARHD 6.7.0.. and everything was fine..
Then i tried to install cyanogenmod 9 which requires CWM again.. so i've installed rom manager and installed cwm through it..
I was stuck on the bootloader image, so i tried to flash back my recovery which of course isn't working because i have CWM now and so i tried to flash back ARHD but it will get untill the beginning when it says "optimizing app" and it restarts and again and again....
Anyway i can fix this problem?? I tried to flash another rom "energy ics" which don't require 4ext.. but i got the same results!!! what should i do?! did i brick my phone?
anyway to install 4ext without having a rom working?

Let's say right now I've a big confusion in my head.. Beore I had ICS working.. i never even tried to downgrade so i should have the correct firmware right?
the last time i check i had 1.32 (and don't remember but it was the last one installed with the tmous OTA)...
Maybe when i did my first format of the sd should i've installed something before the rom?

can anyone giving me the exact path of the cwm backup?

andre read my previous post to flash 4EXT this doesn't require a working rom
also in normal the backups are present on SDCRAD
ie /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
so once you format the sdcard you will lose the backups

If I read this correct you have the official stock firmware that was with the T-Mobile OTA ICS update. This means your bootloader is locked even though you are S-off. You need to flash a engineered Hboot to solve this. Go to this thread to get a firmware package with this. Go to the "User-Friendly Firmware" thread by Kohr-Ah, or you can also use the firmware from GROG88's thread here.

about hboot

recently, i got an HTC Sensation 4g (GIFT) running ICS 4.0.3.
I tried to run a custom ROM. However, i am not sure where to start. There are lots of different guides.
here is some info:
HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile
ICS 4.0.3
H-Boot: 1.24.0000 S-ON
thanks .

1. Go S-OFF
2. flash a recovery
3. wipe
4. flash the rom

i am stuck at the supersu part .
- Unlock bootloader - YES
- Install CWM Recovery - YES
- flash SuperSU.zip - this is where i am stuck.
I copied SuperSU-v0.88.zip to sd card. Reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9. Go to install zip from sdcard. when i click on the SuperSU-v0.88.zip it gives me an error. Installation Aborted (bad). I tried downloading from 4 different sites. still no luck yet.
UPDATE::::::::::::::
found to fix it. I tried another sd-card. Re-flashed it again. Everything went smooth.

[Q] Moto RAZR XT910 - Not able to Flash

Hello Guys,
I installed JB leak in my Moto RAZR xt910 and was using till now,
And i didnt have any CWM Recovery installed in mine, so to install that , i tried a thread from xda ( cant remember which one )
It was "RazerTouchBlack.apk" . after installing that and trying to install CWM, my phone showed error " Encryption Unsuccessful" and was not able to proceed further.
Then i decided to Flash it with stock ROM, tried several ROM's with RSD Lite.
For every ROM , It fails at "cdt.bin_signed" -> PHONE returned FAIL
What am i supposed to do ?
I just want my phone back alive.

Your bootloader is locked. Flash your phone back to stock LINK and install THIS as a working recovery system (Its Safestrap including TWRP 2.7)
