Status 7 is when your recovery is outdated and can't flash the current firmware (needs updated recovery).
Can you tell me which recovery are you using and its version?

Nope. I also don't use any SD card for flashing, just the internal memory.

I have found it works better to use Odin (if on windows) or Heimdall (if on Mac or Linux) to flash recoveries.

Heimdall works better, believe me

Thank you jrc2 and fr4n
I was using the wrong/outdated recovery all this time.
Downloaded twrp from andi's thread and flashed it using mobile odin, it worked like charm.

Cwm from rom manager forced recovery loop
im using a sprint note 3 (sm-n900p) and i downloaded Rom Manager to get cwm and it said that it downloaded and installed just fine. i booted into recovery and it just loops over and over. If i remove battery and turn on normally, it'll continue to loop the same. the only solution to fix the loop i had was to take out the battery and boot into download mode, then i pressed down to cancel and it loads up normal. but for now, rom manager has messed up my recovery. (im not an expert on this, but im not a beginner either) just thought id give you guys a heads up

As long as you've already downloaded cwm you can just about always access it but if you haven't already used Odin to root then you won't have cwm

Can you use another computer that has a card reader? You could dl a ROM (if u have a custom recovery) to ye sd card from that comp, xfr it to you sd card, and flash a custom ROM that way...
...if you can use another comp.
Right. Well I see that you said this is solved so nevermind!!!!

There are many options. Use this one and flash in odin. I assume you know what that is since you're rooted. You could also use twrp recovery but I think cwm is easier to use for someone newer to custom recovery
Can I use mobile Odin?

Not a big deal. The point is its the easiest one to get started. Once installed CWM will ask to update to a newer version that will support it. Install with odin.

Pretty close to the same thing but Philz touch is gonna have more advanced options included that most dont use. Also going to have touch also which means instead of using the volume keys to navigate and power button to slect it is simply touch based.

For my personal expirience the CWM recovery is better then others, I never have had compatibility issues with this one

It doesn't work on any Rom. It's completely independent.

As already said, It's independent.
But. I assume that you flash recovery using apps like Flashify or Goo im, right?

I flash via fastboot as well. I was trying to say that if he is concerned about compatibility is because he maybe uses goo im instead of fastboot method.
So, if he used fastboot instead of apps, he wouldn't have that confusion.
