[Q] Symlinks failed - status 7 - Paranoid Android

Hi Guys,
I've been using Paranoid Android for some time now and love it. I have just downloaded the latest version, performed Dragun's wipe script and when trying to install, I keep getting an error stating a status 7, some symlinks failed. I have tried re-downloading the rom, plus a previous version as well as full wiping everything and factory reset to no avail. Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone help?
I have just tried to install another rom to get past this for now, however it appears the phone is now stuck on the loading screen... Any help would be appreciated.
I would post in the development thread for the rom, however as I haven't posted before, I don't have sufficient permissions.
Cheers,
Mike

[Q] Binary Failed (Flashing Rom)

Hi guys, I'm actually trying to get the pacman rom 4.2.2 But there's no way to get it, I've tryed with CyanogenMod and it doest work... I just get this image and i dont know what thell do because im noobie at this android thing! Just got 3 days with the phone,Its an htc one s, If someone can help me ill appreciate it and sorry for the english,Years without practice it

Its an odd one dude, try getting a fresh copy of the ROM, then shutting down your phone and repeat the wiping process and reflash ?

I have had similar issues when a rom zip is corrupted. Like blackcell said you should try redownloading the rom or trying another rom just to check if that zip is the issue.

You need to provide more information. Exactly what error message are you getting when the zip install fails?

Hello and thanks for your answer.
The error message that I get is "E: Error executing updater binary in zip....." the next to this message is the path where I have the Zip for the rom in my SD card. I´m totally disoriented and I don´t know how to proceed, I appreciate any more help. Thanks in advance!!!

Ok. Are you checking the md5 after downloading the zip to ensure that it isn't corrupt? Are you wiping properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before attempting the install? Since unbricking the phone have you flashed any firmware at all or is this your first attempt?

Hi again,
md5 checked, full wipe done and after unbrick phone I just flash CM12 nightly.
Also note that I flash BlissPop and Metallized Kernel and everything was ok until I decide to change the bootanmation, rbootanimation and logo. I try to flash the ROM with the zip that I use the first time and also try with a new downloaded zip.
Thanks and regards.

Ok, that information probably would have been useful in your initial post. You're messing with things that can (and obviously do) cause major problems. Flash the stock images with fastboot, see section 8 of my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
After that you should be able to flash and boot a ROM again, just don't go screwing with the boot logo.

Really thanks again, I´ll check carefully your post and post the results here. Thanks.
P.S.: I never touch any bootlogo or logo again.

Hello again Heisenberg,
I follow all the steps of section 8 of your guide and I´m on CM OS 5.0.2 and an update of 598,4 MB is downloading right now, the name is Cyanogen OS YNG1TAS17L, can I install it and then flash again my BlissPop?
Really thanks for all your help.
P.S.: Are you watching Better Call Saul? xD

Hello again,
All works like a charm and I´m on BlissPop again.
Really really thanks Heisenberg, cheers.

Unable to update to 12.1

So today I saw that the 12.1 update is downloaded and asking me to install it. But, when I do try installing it the screen is stuck at the Cyanogen Recovery.
The usual options in recovery screen are displayed, why isn't the OS updating?
FYI - My OPO is rooted and also has TWRP recovery installed. I also tried disabling the Update Cyanogen Recovery option but the same option.
Any assistance would be great

You can't flash the OTA with TWRP recovery. You can either flash the stock recovery and then install the OTA, or you can download the full ROM zip and flash that with TWRP.

Sorry, a little question (and sorry to the OP)
Ive try to install the ota manually (i was rooted with twrp) flashing back the cm recovery, but it doesnt work still.
So ive flash the twrp 2.8.6 (for the baseband not installing prolems) and downloaded the full rom file, flashed in twrp without any wipes... Its all ok now, should i have problems with this method?
The baseband is 241,is correct?

You don't need to be a techie to know that the updates must be taken in order. Go to Settings>About Phone, take screenshots of the info there and post here so I can see please.

You're on the right version. The zip must be getting corrupt during the download or something.

XT1039 bootloop after flashing CM13

Hi,
XT1039: bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4
TO: nightly
Flashed 4118 bootloader, as detailed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...tions-t2996087
It was successful.
Followed https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_peregrine
unlocked bootloader
installed cm-recovery from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
tried to flash cm, got a bootloader error,
followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59520890&postcount=233
Now using bootloader 411A
flashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
now the phone is stuck at the boot screen.
So I flashed twrp recovery, successful and reflashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
I tried several different guides that included all sorts of cache deletion and format orders but the result is still the same
(I am not using an sdcard but only the internal storage.)
After rebooting, the phone is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot icon (blinking cat face) since past half hour.
Please guide how to debug/recover.
fastboot and recovery are working
Thanks,
[edit:]
The cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip was transferred by mounting the internal storage on the PC and copying it manually. Just in case this matters

Thanks for the reply, but the goal is to get cyanogenmod on my phone. How does the stock rom help me with that??

Just for testing, I have installed the stock rom to see if it works and it does. I now have a Motorola Android 5.1 on my phone. But thats not what I wanted.
Anyone having any idea how to make cyanogenmod work?

Just to restoring a kernel on it...after restoring one, go to TWRP, make your wipes and flash again your CM

WOW Thank you very much, its working
Maybe you can also explain to my why installing the custom rom mattered, since I wiped everything before installing cm again, I would assume there is nothing of the stock rom left on the device.

Not really able to explain...sometimes sh*t happens...
But this procedure works almost every time.
Surely due to your bootloader error after your first flash with CM recovery...something was broken...
Most important, now, it's working...Enjoy

I install cm but google play is not working and sallular data also not working.. Plz any one help me please..
