Hey all,
Recently used revolutionary to gain S-Off and root on an Evo 4g that was running GB. I am now not able to flash any roms. Have tried 4 different CM's and a Sense Rom.
I am also not able to restore my backup. I wipe data/cache/dalvik before every try.
The specific message I am getting is
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img, "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.3.1-SUpersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Right now my phone is basically worthless as I cannot boot into anything...
Anyone?
Thanks
NM Problem solved
Got it. Thanks
So I rooted my phone -> Thanks XDA
and I've installed CWM but I can't boot into/install CWM recovery Console.
Everytime I try I get
E:Failed Verify Whole-File Signature
E:Signature verification failed
Installation Aborted.
Then I'm spit into the Android system recover(3e).
Where regardless of what I do I get the same error.
OR
it simply says
E: signature verification failed.
I've been reading for the last 4 days trying to figure a way around this. I've bricked and unbricked my phone 4 times.
If I've missed a thread that would help I apologize, I'm a noob around here but I'm a well versed hacker of hardware.
Thanks for your help
What do you mean you "installed CWM"
The same method for rooting your device (flashing a kernel that injects root to your device) already has CWM built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
Whatever you did to "install" CWM probably broke the existing CWM installation of the kernel you flashed to get root.
... well I'm ran through the infused update again..... and my phone started talk.
Scared the BA JESUS out of me LOL.
And now it works.
I figured it was something easy like that.
Thanks for your help.
Hi guys, I'm getting kind of frustrated with the installation of KitKat KangBang. I'm running on an i9505 with PhilZ Touch 5 with the CWM Base version at v6.0.4.4. Whenever I get to around 50% of the ROM install, I get the "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" error. I've tried several different recoveries and I get the same thing every time. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I'm dumb. I'm running on M919, not i9505. Lock it up!
RE.
Just update your CWM Recovery.
I'm having issues flashing any rom. I'm on stock rooted, s-off lollipop 5.0.1 and any time I attempt to flash a ROM it gets aborted with a symlink error status 7 message. Any thoughts on what could be causing it? I've tried TWRP and CWM and neither of them work. Thanks
UPDATE: Disregard this thread. I switched back to TWRP and it went fine. No clue what the difference was. Thanks anyways
Hi All,
I am using a GTab 2 GT-P3113. I flashed CWM and installed slimrom. When I try to install the gapps for either slimrom or CM each will fail and abort about 80% through. The error message reads:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /external_sd/gapps-signed.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted
I am not sure what I can do.
Thanks for your help.

You need to upgrade your recovery. See @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the development forum for your tab. I use and recommend TWRP.
Have a great day!
