[Q] Cannot flash new ROM status 7

I successfully rooted my HTC Tattoo(click) and now I want to flash Cyanogenmod7. I booted to recovery (recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644279), wiped Dalvik-cache and sdcard (when i wiped my sdcard, is it still a goldcard?) and did hard reset.
Then I chose "Flash zip from sdcard" and tried to flash CM7. In half of a process it always stops and reports: (Status 7) installation aborted.
Can anyone help?

To flash custom ROM's you must do this steps:
1. Flash the same firmware version which is your custom ROM is based on
2. Install DoomKernel
3. In some cases installation of prerooted stock firmwares is needed
4. Connect your device to the PC, rename ROM's .zip file into "update.zip", upload update.zip file into your SD card, reboot in recovery mode (eg volume up during DoomKernel bootlogo for SXS)
5. Backup, wipe data, wipe dalvik, factory reset
6. Install from SD card - update.zip
That's it

Sleep of Death Issue in Custom Roms

I'm not sure why, but after I installed many custom roms like CM 12.1,Ressurection Remix, Mokee Release etc, after that for the short period of using the device i have the "sleep of death" problem where I turn off my screen and when I turn it back on the screen doesn't turn on. Anyone know how to fix???
:crying:
It seems to be a dirty flash, try a clean install by flashing MIUI 6.6.10 and from there, follow the custom rom install instructions
I am facing the same problem. I have used CM12.1 and Mokee51.1 . My phone automatically shuts down when it is in sleep mode. Interestingly, it only happens when I am on LTE connection. I use a Reliance-Jio 4G SIM to access 4G data in India. As soon as i disable the LTE SIM, the problem disappears.
For background, I did a clean install by wiping everything ( Delvik, cache, internal memory). So, it is not a dirty installation.

Download fastboot zip.
Make sure fastboot drivers are installed.
Extract zip
Reboot phone to fastboot
Run "flash_all.bat" as administrator and wait.

Fastboot will be accessible in case of failure, as fastboot is stored on a separate partition

After flashing stock recovery don't reboot you phone in stock recovery, bcoz you can't wipe system in stock recovery to do so ,
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing vol down and power button and connect your phone to PC and from CMD prompt run the following command
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Actually my phone was bootlooped when i tried installing twrp img of chinese version and im unable to flash ROM. Before this i used latest twrp and flashed RR and lineage OS. Volte worked fine in both the roms and in stock rom too. After this happened i installed AIO tool kit and flashed chinese twrp again. Then done flashing with lineage OS there the volte is broken. I thought it would be some software error and i tried flashing RR and found the same broken volte! Can anyone help me out in enabling volte in my le eco le2 (s2) x526.

bootloop
I tried to install the stock ROM provided by 2 ways :-
1) booting into previous version of twrp using fastboot commands and then the regular install after wiping required files.
2) Renaming it to update.zip and placing it into sdcard then via stock recovery.
it gets installed every time without any error but gets into boot loop with both steps.
Is there any way to get completely stock again ?

Flash twrp via following toolkit .beacause only this recovery works to flash stock roms
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16391#downloads
Open twrp do factory reset and wipe data , cache , dalvik cache . Dont wipe system . Then flash the rom . Dont flash magisk or any root app . Reboot . You got a notification from twrp that replace stock recovery . Dont replace recovery . Once rom boot setup everything .now bootloader is locked and twrp replaced via stock recovery .

I use this mathod everytime when i need stock rom. It works for me
my phone caps my speed to 4 Mbps after few minutes. It's not a isp or router based problem.
Actually I faced this problem after I flashed back to Eui 19s from 21s.

Alright I found a way ...I read it in some other discussion on le2 .
The step by step procedure to get stock back is listed :-
1) As usual reboot to recovery
2) wipe cache, dalvik, system and data
3)install the stock ROM
Now when you reboot you will get stuck into boot loop at the leeco logo.... wait for 5 mins and test your luck if it works otherwise follow next
4) go back to recovery by pressing vol up and power button.
5) install Andromodx kernel
Reboot and voila you have it running.
Also you can flash the stock recovery and lock OEM by fastboot commands
The only issues I have right now are two
1) the display scale is set to zoom and even if I set it to standard it reboots but doesn't change. I scaled down pixel density by adb commands but still its weird at some places
2) it crashes a lot ... sometimes when I press home or multitasking button it just goes black and EUI reboots. I also did a factory reset but no use.
If anyone can help me in that ....:laugh:

Just figured this out with the help of another post on a separate thread.
It seems that the latest twrp for x526 (v 3.2.1.0) has a bug such that when you format the data partition - it writes a wrong partition size.
This causes the boot loop with the stock ROM (other custom ROMs seems to be happy living with the error).
An associated side effect of the wrong partition size is that you wont be able to encrypt your phone on the custom ROM (the encryption process simply causes the phone to reboot without doing anything).
To resolve this, downgrade twrp to v 3.0.2. Then format cache/system/data.
Then mount the phone to your PC (enable MTP) and copy the stock ROM of your choice.
You need to update the "updater-script" and comment out the version check - and then you can install the stock ROM using twrp.
This worked for me.
Hope it works for you as well.
PS: Once you install the stock ROM, the data partition gets encrypted and first boot takes a lot of time.
Be patient and also know that twrp will no longer be able to decrypt your data partition (I think either twrp is broken OR the stock ROM uses some other default password to encrypt the data partition and hence decryption fails. I have tried using my screen lock PIN and it doesn't work and "default_password" does not work either.
All the best.

Open the update.zip file on your PC and navigate to META-INF/com/google/android.
You will find a file by the name updater-script.
Use your favourite text editor to open this file and then find the following line:
get_device_compatible("le_s2_ww") == "OK" || abort("This package is for "le_s2_ww" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
Insert a # at the beginning of the line to get the installer to ignore the version mismatch and you should be good to go.
It should now look like this:
#get_device_compatible("le_s2_ww") == "OK" || abort("This package is for "le_s2_ww" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
Now save this file and update the zip file / create a zip file again and then proceed with the installation as usual.

recovery broken after format system and reboot - how to unbrick?

It's an old device. I got it for free since it was just laying around in friend's home. Worked OK after factory reset with stock ROM. Wanted to upgrade Android.
Previously successfully flashed TWRP from andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100 using heimdall on Linux. Could start the TWRP recovery. Then I followed FAQ andi34.github.io/faq.html
backup all important files (e.g. contacts) and store them on your MicroSD-Card or on your PC/Laptop
copy the rom and gapps you like to install to your MicroSD-Card (make sure Gapps match the Android version of the Rom!)
boot into your custom recovery
make a backup of your current running rom and store it on your MicroSD-Card or on your PC/Laptop (some of the following are named slight different depending on the recovery you use)
wipe cache
wipe dalvic cache
wipe/format system
wipe/format data
reboot your recovery once!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After reboot, I could no longer start recovery.
Perhaps I should not have formatted system?
Perhaps I should not have rebooted before flashing the ROM zip?
I can still enter download (ODIN) mode. Re-flashed the TWRP recovery. Rebooted. Still cannot enter TWRP. But can still enter download mode.
What do you recommend now?
Can I flash LinageOS ROM zip from andi34.github.io/roms_tab2_lineage.html using heimdall? But heimdall does not really support zip files? It's harder than that? Any guide for that?
Or do I have to re-flash the stock ROM? Can I flash the stock ROM using heimdall?
Get the stock rom for the device then use ODIN to flash the stock rom back, the stock rom should fix it as it also flashes the stock recovery back.
Did you reboot System instead of Recovery? What TWRP version was this? I also thought of scenarios like this.
Can you still boot to recovery (twrp)
