status 7 error & soft brick

Hello all hope you will be able to help me.
Device : Nexus S I 9020
So basicly iam kinda new to whole this world of "android" former Iphone user.
last mounth i got my nexus S wich is my first android phone.
As soon as i got it i started to read guids and etc.
Root the device and ofc the nexy step was trying Rom`s.
but then a problem , every time i try to flash a rom i get status 7 error.
tryed every possible combination of restore / wipe etc...
nothing helped , so i came back to the stock one (backup i made before i started)
after a while i discovered the app Rom mananger , wich install rom update recovery etc...
so i updated my recovery and installed CM7 using it.
used it for a while and went back to the stock.
after cople of days tryed to install MIUI using rom manger every thing went clear and after the intall device reboot it self and then stuck on the Google logo with the lock in the botom of the screen.
and nothing helped since then restore , factory reset/restore / wipe`s etc.
as last resort i tryed Odin and it worked like a charm got my device back and runing.
today i tryed to install a new rom AOASP(i think , or some thing like that) in the first time from the recovery (several times) with every possible wipe.
all the time status 7 error , then went to rom mananger and again same thing.
stuck on the google logo.
now iam gonna use Odin again hope it will work this time too.
Any idea how to resolve it , or why this is happen ?
and how can i resolve the status 7 error and what does it mean ?
Thank you all.
(sorry for this been so long , wanted to give as much details as possible)

at this point i was able to restore my phone using Odin , and then restore it into my stock backup (including all my data and etc...)
but the problem remain the same.
cant install any rom (status 7 error).
and when i try to install any rom using Rom mananger iam stuck on the google logo after the reboot.
so what can i do ?

After you get the error, just go to advanced n report error. Automatically a recovery log will be created on ur SD. Mount SD from recovery and retrieve the log file n post it here. Maybe we can then help you.

here is the 2 files i didnt know wich one is it so i took bouth.
Recovery and report.
hope it will help some how.

You should flash recovery from fastboot first. Then without leaving the bootloader, load recovery n install your rom.
My guess what's happening is that when u r installing from rom manager, upon reboot the stock recovery is being flashed(you being stock). That is the problem.

Another solution easier for you would be:
1) navigate to /Etc and find the file ' install-recovery.sh ' on ur phone using a file explorer.
2) rename it to something else.
3) install rommanager and flash latest recovery through it.
4)install the rom of ur choice.

Problem solved by using Odin ro restore it and after that flash Nanbackup and finally updating the CWM recovery.
If any one get the problem try this
Btw SuperAOSP is GREAT !!!!

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

My Galaxy Ace Plus (S7500) doesn't want to boot in download mode

Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)
Is there anyway to root it?
Thanks so much!

Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------
The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

here is Android 4.1.2 for Galaxy ace plus working

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

Tf300t problem

Well, I installed custom recovery(TWRP) via fastboot.
and rooted it, and tried to flash a rom, obeyed all the instructed, everything seems to be fine but when tried to flash the rom, it said it failed.
and when I reboot in to the system, It hangs on Cyanogen mod design.
Does this mean my device is bricked? or can this be solved? please someone help me !

Yes your device is bricked but it isn't hardbricked yet. Try to download and install it again OR download another ROM and try that.
BUT be carfull... i am a quite good in Flashing and rooting but i dont do it on the TF300T because it's to valueble
Good Luck

It's not really bricked becasue your tablet still boots
Just flash another rom. You can copy Asus stock rom or another rom on your Micro SD card an then install it via recovery

Redownload the package. The package might be corrupted or have incorrect signature.

Give me the authentic link.

Maybe you should disable zip signature verification and try to flash again. Or try TWRP, since CWM development has been discontinued.
Status 7 error occurs when the package checks for device type and mismatch (not the proper device you should flash it on), MD5 checksum mismatch or broken package.

Recovery Problem

Hi everyone . I need help . I have an Xperia L with resolution remix rom and two days ago it just got restarted and ended in a bootloop . I tried to reflash but it was stuck at patching system unconditionally.
I even tried different recovery
Some times the recovery says that flashing finished
But when I reboot the phone it just stays at the sony logo. And when I check the size used in the system partition there is a lot of space left it means the ROM was not installed
All the recovery have this problem. Now I can't flash any zip ( the recovery just reads the update script and shows on the screen ) ? please someone help me
I have tried TWRP
PHILZ
CWM
Let me know if there is a cure for this
THANKS

Seems like partition issue. You're wiping all partitions properly before flashing new zip?

I have no idea what's happening with my phone
I did wipe everything except internal and external storage
The recovery is not copying any files to the sys partition
While flashing because of this the recovery just loads and loads for ever but still nothing happens
I'm trying to install cm 12.1 and the recovery is currently paused patching sys unconditionally
Can someone give me link to a good recovery
Except these ?. ?. ?
I have problem with TWRP , CWM , PHILZ

If nothing is working then I'd suggest to flash the stock ROM FTF and see if the device boots, if it does then just download latest TWRP and start flashing!

. But sadly it was not booting even after a clean installation . It's stuck at the thunder zap logo ??
What to do now

Stock ROM not booting? Hmm..It is sounding more like a hardware issue to me or most probably messed up partition table. Btw you said stuck on thunderzap logo, why are you flashing thunderzap kernel? It is outdated, abandoned and not supported to latest releases anymore.

But I didn't flash thunder zap. I just installed the prime Xperia LP and when I restarted the phone that's when I saw the thunder zap logo
I thought you included it in the ROM
I didn't flash anything additionally
And sometime the recovery dose flash correctly n ROM dose boot but after some time it just hangs and restarts
Then it goes to bootloop almost every has this problem
I installed stryflix ultimate yesterday and the same problem happened to this ROM too. Then I tried to reflash but recovery problems again

Do one thing, download latest twrp from HERE and using the dd method listed there, flash that recovery. Boot to the new recovery and wipe everything (boot,system,data,cache and internal storage). Then download any of the latest ROM e.g. AICP or AOSP-CAF Nougat and flash that. Do these and let me know the result.

I have flashed a mm ROM and fortunately it booted up
And the phone is working. But I don't know for how long
Anyway I installed super user and when I type the commend it is saying
Unknown id: dd ???
Don't know what's the problem but I think that the resource file name was different or something else

Stryder i think that the problem for bootloop is the SIM ?or carrier? . All the rom i flash has RIL problem
And when I reboot my phone without SIM it doesn't stuck. But I can't use the phone without carrier
Is there any solution. And I still couldn't do anything about the dd commend.
Thanks

Some how the problem is solved ( i think )
I have flashed some other Roms and they are working fine and the recovery is working smoothly
