Same problem here too. Sensation on 2.3.4 rooted eng s-off trying to install demonspeed kernel but installation aborted. I restart the phone and now the WiFi has error. Then I have to do a complete restore via cw recovery.

Im bumping this one as i have the same problem. Im on the default ROM, trying this kernel:
[KERNEL][NOV.04]Bricked-Kernel|2.6.35.14|v1.5|[email protected]/192|3DFIX|BATTSAVER|ZRAM|CCACHE
I get a status 7 when trying to flash.
All ive done is to have the zip on my SD, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, and then "install zip from.."
The installation is pretty simple, so i dont really know what to do here hehe Any ideas?
Got a Sensation btw, its s-off and permanently rooted.

This seems to work ok for me ..
Give it a try ..

I did it in the same way and it worked.
Keep in mind that if you are on 3.0 you have to take FirstTimeKernel3.0.zip

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

2) enter mount and storage option
3 and format all the options..
/cache
/data
/system
/sd-ext
4) reboot recovery..and...
done!..flash new rom as you wish..

No rom working

I am having a really weird problem on my Htc explorer.Never faced any like this. In twrp recovery some roms cm10 are not getting flashed. Installation stops with an error. While some roms like cm9 install but when they boot constant eroor occur like "android.phone has stopped working" and these errors keep coming so u can't use the rom. I flashed cmw, created ext 4 partition, also did so using twrp latest recovery but no luck. I am facing this problem and I am unable to even make a call using the phone. Please help me to solve this major problem///

Please help me. I am getting the same error with every recovery I use and some other roms as well that are freshly downloaded like aokp rc3.

Brother can only flash stable cm 10.1.3

My brother just got himself a skyrocket he's on the newest radio w/custom recovery installed but can't seem to flash anything but cm 10.1 with an old 4.2 GApps package.
Kinda frustrating because I haven't seen anyone else having this issue in any other thread. I did to his all I did to mine and I'm running Wantowan2's DU. Just says installation failed and we can't even flash other recovery from within recovery. Where should we go from here

Odin back to stock and start over. Something got messed up in your recovery

Make sure you've got the proper recovery for 4.3 as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727

Well we did Odin back to stock and Odin flashed twrp 2.6.3 and tried to flash the new cwm touch 6043 and it just failed. Not sure why. I repeated process with my phone and it worked but I feel like he did some stuff he's not telling me.
And the only things that do flash remain to be the cm 10.1.3 and GApps from 2012

The gapps isn't right for 4.3, cm 10.1. Flash the 8-13-2013 gapps
Edit, you can find it on the OP of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46685423

My understanding is that cm 10.1.3 is android version 4.2.2 and the gapps he used worked. No force closes or anything but one thing he mentioned is that his first flashing of the ROM did not include a full wipe. He did not format system. And even after a full wipe in twrp 2.6.1; data, cache, android secure, dalvik, and system still nothing. Still shows dead android and failed install

[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

Are you using the most recent version of TWRP, CWM, or Philz recovery? Are you currently running a custom ROM?

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.

TY i'll download and try, Is there a recommended recovery? Or is it just personal preference?

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.
