[FIX] Status 7 in Clockwork Recovery on Nexus S 4G during zip flash

I kept getting flash issues after using the unlockr's root method on my Nexus S 4G, specifically the inability to flash roms due to a status 7 error.
BEFORE you run around searching every forum, or use someone else's old nandroid to revert to 2.3.1, or do any craziness... if you flashed Clockwork via fastboot, install ROM Manager from the market, and install the latest ClockworkMod recovery via Rom Manager, and give it another try.
Hopefully this is easy enough to find, that no one else has this problem.
Happy hunting

Hi,
This didn't help
I installed ROM Manage from Play Store and tried to install ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager. Howeve, it kept on getting stuck while installing ClockworkMod recovery....
Are there any other solutions for Status 7 error?

Flash the latest CWM manually via fastboot. Have a look at the Nexus S rooting guides, they all detail how to flash a custom recovery.

Yep, it was all about updating the CWM. In my case I had to update it to the one that supports touch mode (don't remember the version number). Once that was done all went quite smoothly.

[Q] Signature Verification

Hello folks I have the US Verizon version of the Galaxy S III and when I try to install a rom from either Rom Toolbox or Rom Mananger I get sent to the recovery screen. Once I navigate to the selected rom I set a Signature Verification error and the little Android fella drops. What can I do to fix this. Not all roms act this way but this Miui rom doesn't seem to install. As a matter of fact, any rom I install via the recovery acts this way.
Please help. Thank you.

What recovery are you using? Instead of Rom manager use ez recovery and flash either cwm or TWRP and then flash the rom. Check the md5 of the rom to make sure it matches. I also think there is a setting in a custom recovery for signature verification

You cant flash roms from stock recovery...you need cwm or twrp recovery.

Being that I'm a newbie with this particular phone, I need help in terms of the method you guys are suggesting. I either use Rom Manager or Rom toolbox for flashing but was only successful with Rom Manager for at least two roms but were unstable. Please get back to me on steps on how to get around the Signature Verification where the little Android falls with a red error message.
Thanks.

Thank you for all the advice. I just installed Goo Manager which works with TWRP. I hope it works. I'll update as soon as possible.

[Q] CWM recovery issue with Rom Manager

So I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy S3 and unlocked the bootloader. I flashed Clockworkmod recovery using Rom Manager to update to the latest version. Made a nandroid, installed Titanium Backup, linked it to my Dropbox and uploaded. I downloaded the latest CM10 nightly to flash but the stock android recovery appeared instead of CWM. Found some info that I need to flash a clockwork compatible kernel first. The questions I have are: If I install the latest CM 10 nightly will it automatically install a clockwork compatable kernel? If not, where can I download it from? and if I do need to flash a kernel first can anyone give me detailed instructions how to do this as i'm relatively new to this stuff and don't want to brick my phone. Thanks, any info would help.

I did, had it unlocked and rooted. I guess there was some sort of issue with Rom Manager on the S3. I use it on my Galaxy Nexus and have no issues. I ended up abandoning what I was doing, uninstalling Rom Manager and going a different route. I have no prior experience with Odin but figured out how to install CWM . Downloaded I535vrblk1, flashed CWM, unlocked & rooted again. . Thanks anyway for the reply.

You can reinstall ROM Manager. It is something to do with some of the newer OTA's and the leaks. I have read a few posts in the forums about this in the GS3 and I really can't remember the fix but your recovery not sticking had nothing to do with ROM Manager. I think the fix was when you rebooted to recovery to flash a kernel right away, whether it be KT747, LK, or any of the other. Now that I typed this I'm about 99% sure that was the fix. Like I said above though, it has nothing to do.with ROM Manager, so if you're like me and find a lot of the tools in it handy you should be able to reinstall it. If you have a problem again just flash a kernel.

[Q] S3 Wipe Data

I have flashed my phone a couple times with the leaks from here and now I am at the JB 4.1.2. but not with the premium suite. Is it possible to go back to factory and receive the official update from Verizon or is there a leaked build with the premium suite available. I have looked and not found any.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301814

I have used the nodata wipe versions of the build in the past using ODIN. Will that link work with it?
Thanks.

The link is to a full ROM you flash in recovery. So if you have root, unlocked the bootloader, and installed a custom recovery, you can flash the ROM in the link (and the firmware in post 2) and be on the latest official OTA.
If you are still stock and haven't got the latest OTA, you may just have to wait until it gets pushed to your device.

Pardon my ignorance, but can you point me to the instructions on how to use those 2 files. I have only done Odin before so that is why I am not too sure what I would do after downloading both zips and putting them on my SD card. Thank you!!

So you are rooted, with unlocked boot loader an custom recovery? Not sure by your post. I assume you are since asked about going back to take an ota.

That is what I am not sure abaout. Each time I downloaded a link and installed it I used Odin v3.07 and also got firles(from xda) that had No Data wipe. SO if that means I am rooted, I am not sure. I have downloaded, then connect phone to Odin, install file and voila, it is back up. That is why I do not know. Thanks a million!

I would suggest you install ROM Manager. Once installed (it will only work if you have root), you can have it flash a custom recovery (Clockwork Mod" or "TWRP). You can then use the ROM manager to boot into the recovery you just flashed. Once in recovery you can flash those 2 zip files.
You would be well served to understand this a bit better but the ROM Manager will get you there with a minimum of knowledge. You can search here on XDA for instructions on flashing with CWM or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Good luck

I am trying to root the phone and it keeps telling me that there are no privileges???? I am trying to root and just cant get past that.

Go to the play store and download a root checker (there are several free ones) and it will tell you if you have root. If not, use one of the many guides to root. I suggest this one, follow this guide to root and install custom recovery Once you are rooted with a custom recovery you can flash the rooted version of the VRBLMD3 and the associated modem, RPM. etc.
