Status 7 Error when trying to go back to stock ICS - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I decided today I wanted to get back to stock ICS on my Transformer. After looking around I saw that all I had to do was download the file from Asus' website and flash it in recovery. I downloaded the V9.2.1.24(WW) zip file (Yes I'm sure the WW file is for me as I bought the tablet in Australia) and then extracted that to get the WW_epad-user-9.2.1.24 inside. I placed this on the root of my MicroSD card and rebooted into recovery (Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0). I wiped cache, dalvik cache and all user data before choosing to install the 9.2.1.24 zip file. It looked fine at first until an error came up:
Code:
Installing update...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging")
E: Error in /sdcard/WW_epad-user-9.2.1.24.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I don't know what's wrong so I'm wondering if someone could help me out here?
Thanks.

I had that error once on my phone and i resolved it by flashing another recovery. So you could try that but if you want to flash it from your pc you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683311

To remove any sort of further errors, I think you should reinstall stock firmware and then try CWM again.

thats for the newer CWM touch recovery. You can only use TWRP with oding but to get CWM on your phone, you put the zip onto your SD card and then just flash thezip, after you do that just reboot the phone or power off and then go back into recovery mode and youll have CWM.

Unable to Flash Rom?

I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.0, I've tried Factory Reset and Advanced Wipe (Ticking off Dalvik Cache, data, System, cache). Then I go to install a rom, it gives me an error. I currently don't have another camera to show the error. I'll write what I see in the terminal:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip'/extern(not sure what's after this, it doesn't show).
Error flashing zip '/extermal_sd/cm-11-20131222-
Updating partition details...
And that's it, I don't know how to fix it. I've tried everything.
I'm using i727r by the way, not the AT&T version.

[Q] Problem installing ROMs (status 0)

I wanted to try a KitKat ROM so i downloaded a couple on PC and transferred to SD card. I did a backup (which really saved me lol) and then, as instructed , formatted system, data, and cache. Wiped Dalvik and flashed ROM (Paranoid Android 4.0). It started but after the "installing update" message I got a error message " error /location of zip/name of zip (status0)". I thought it meant that the zip was corrupted so i downloaded on PC again. Transferred to SD and tried to install following the same stepsand got the error again. After that I tried to install another ROM(Validus 5.1) and still got the error. Decided to restore and see if i could get help before trying again. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks in advance for any help
EDIT can dev please move I thought i was posting in troubleshooting section. Sorry

I'm using a custom ROM right now, I don't know if the Philz I have is the most recent. Would that cause errors? How would i know what version I have installed.

If the version of Philz you are using is from JB then that could cause the errors.

Status 7 means that your recovery is out of date. I am running AOSPA Beta4 on my p3113 and installed it using the latest TWRP from the below thread. The version of cwm in that thread should also work.

I am currently using TWRP, but I have used PhilzTouch in the past. They both work pretty well. TWRP has bigger buttons that are spaced out better and has an easier interface to use. PhilzTouch has some other features but isn't as polished. It is just a matter of personal preference. Some Roms will have a recommended recovery listed, though.
Also, to make sure that the zip you download isn't corrupted, check the md5 of the zip you download against the md5 on the download page.

Biggest advantage of using Phillz touch is that it can detect OTG cable,so you can flash ROMs from USB device as well;on the other hand, TWRP allows you to flash 10 zips at the same time,it will release the overhead of selecting Zip one after another manually. So choose your options wisely.
Edit:-
One more thing I would like to add,Phillz touch blackhawk supports dual-booting through next kernel

Just wanted to say thanks again to jrc2. I went with TWRP because backup to sd card was not working on CWM and Philz. Backup would start and in the middle of backing up data or system tab would just reboot. But TWRP looks ok and flashed with no problems.

When you fastboot flash a different recovery, it will delete the cwm recovery and overwrite the whole recovery partition.

What are your exact steps? Which cyanogenmod ROM are you flashing? Which recovery did you use? You'll have to use twrp 2.5 I think to restore stock ROM.

The Cyanogemod file is called cm-10.2.1-tf300t.zip (I guess thats Cyanogenmod 10.2), I used the backup that I've made before installing CM... The recovery is TWRP and its version is v2.6.0.0
What is wrong? D:
Thats what I have done:
Unlock bootloader with Asus program
Root
Installed CWM recovery and changed it to TWRP
Backup
Flashed Cyanogenmod, it boots fine but WiFi and camera doesnt work

Thank you so much! YOU ARE MY HERO
No problem man.
Download http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579270. This is the twrp file. fastboot flash that.
Next, download https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...ip&dluid=343be2b9-36d2-4262-8978-633fbd9b8565. This is the latest pacman ROM. Its pretty stable for me. If you would like a custom kernel, let me know.
You will also need gapps. Find and download a gapps package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942.
Put both gapps and pacman ROM on your tablet or an sdcard to put in your tablet. Perform a wipe in your new twrp recovery and then install ROM and then install gapps(don't reboot between installs). Should be good to go after that.
