no CWM...use 4EXT recovery ..that's compatiable with ARHD rom zip
btw ..my first ever post that i made is also regarding the same issue

Yeah no offence to Koush or anyone that works with CWM, but for the Sensation 4EXT Recovery is the better recovery.

how to install 4ext recovery

Download this PM58IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card and then boot into bootloader to flash it. Remember to remove the file from the root of your SD card after you flash the recovery.

CM11 (Status 7) Error

When trying to "Clean" flash CM11 (cm-11-20131211-Nightly-d2vzw.zip) with CWM (newest version) I get a (status 7) error and installation is aborted. Any ideas, I search the forums and tried a couple things to no avail, first time i've ever seen this when flashing a rom. thanks in advance!

Can you flash other roms or is it just this nightly? Try flashing an older nightly and see what happens. Make sure you have cwm 6.0.4.3

[Q] T-mobile LG G2 TWRP won't install CM11 ROM

Hi Guys,
Urgent issue. I rooted the device using Kingo, installed TWRP and then transferred the zip for the CM11 nightly and the gapps. I confirmed the nightly was for the D801 model which is T-mobile and the version of the G2 I have. Like a fool I forgot to backup my previous rom and TWRP says:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-11-20140208-NIGHTLY-d801.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-11-20140208-NIGHTLY-d801.zip'
Updating partition details
And there's a red ominous 'Failed' at the bottom of the prompt. Please help, I have no idea what to do, I'm a noob at this. Help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Regards

Can you restore the phone and boot back up? If so, replace TWRP with Philz Touch CWM. I had trouble flashing kit kat rom with TWRP too. But Philz Touch recovery seems to works just fine and it also has the option with restore a backup from TWRP too.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have resolved all issues. Turns out you need TWRP 2.6.3.5 to flash any CM11 nightlies. Also was using Windows 8.1 so the adb drivers were not straightforward to install to use adb push. I pushed and installed TWRP 2.6.3.5 and then flashed CM11 and she works like a dream!

format() expects 5 args, got 3
E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/cm-7.2.0-p500.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

To flash that KitKat, you had to place a newer CWM or TWRP recovery version.
To flash cm-7.2, you need to go back to the older recovery!

For KitKat ROMs a recovery equivalent to 6.0.4.5 or newer is required to flash. The newer recoveries are capable of flashing CM 10.2 to CM11. All older Android versions will require the use of an older recovery, pre 6.0.4.5, such as CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch by vivekkalady.

Status 7 means that you need a newer recovery. I just used CWM 6.0.4.7 yesterday to put CM11 on my parents tab2.
Hope this helps

Also try installing zip from " internal " storage.
Pp.

Hi, from CWM download page, the latest version is 6.0.2.7 for the Tab2 10.1 wifi (P5110).
With it installed following Cyanogenmod tutorial, I also have the status 7 error when trying to install both Cyanogenmod 11 latest nightly build, or SlimKat 8 stable.
Device is not rooted, but tried to install ZIP files from internal sd.
Checksums are fine.
I'm interested in the answer if you don't mind me to squat your post?
PS: I'm used to use CWM on my gt-i9100 and gt-i9305 with no problem.

Finally solved by updating CWM to unnoficial 6.0.5.0 found on the post here.

If you want a more user friendly touch interface, try TWRP from Android Andi's recovery thread.
