[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

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?
Thx for helping

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.

Error in cacheupdate.zip (status 7)

Hello guys,
I try to install a security update (OTA) but every time he stopped and show the informatie in the printscreen.
My phone is not rooted.
How can I solved this problem?
see below the settings and issue at my Google Nexus 5.
Many Thanks
Greetz,

Did you previously modify/add/delete files in your system partition?

No nothing Primokorn

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so then download the factory images and flash system.img and boot.img using fastboot.

No...van you explain how it works

Or send a link to an instruction?

Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

Thanks Primokorn!

it's works

HTC A9 Europe build 1.56.401.70 and trying to install OTA is 1.56.401.81 536 mb. After completely download goes to install from recovery but after 25% got error and rebooring device everytime in 25%!! i try 4 times!

If you have root on your device then that is the problem, I am not sure if s-off can interfere with that as well

Yes I also don't remember a nougat update for this device.

OTA 1.56.401.81 536 mb is only a security update for europe not a Nougat update.

Upadte for security and prepairing for nougat

I hope you are right.

Press volume up and power to reveal stock recovery menu and you'll be able to see the exact error. There is probably one of your /system file giving a "unexpected content" error when compared to the updater-script expected sha-1 value. Or some file might be missing and giving the "no such file" error.
Btw you'll all know when an update will bring nougat just by looking at the version number. Nougat should start with 2 i.e. 2.xx.401.xx. That's what HTC did for all other phone, incrementing by 1 the first digit of the version number each time there is a major android version update.

Have experienced the same error.
Did you solve your problem meanwhile?

i'm downloading the ota right now! if everythings goes well i let you know :good:

Please save the OTA file before installing it! So somebody can provide the file as a download at androidfilehost. That would be great for manual installation and those who haven't got enough mobile data to download directly.
Thanks allot

Sorry i forgot to save the OTA but i found a soloution!
After i try everything like extrat recovery stock from last ota and relock bootloader i did not to fix it! but for the last time i flashed RUU.zip from sd card and then try to install OTA and this time everything works perfectly and update to 1.56.401.81

I could upload the OTA file if someone tolds me where to upload.
Does anyone know when we get an RUU file for 1.56.401.81?
I would like to install this update without going complete to stock just to update and then reinstall TWRP, Root and so on.
And does someone know if it would be possitble to recover the saved nandroid backup from 401.70 after updating with OTA to 401.81?

The errors shown in the image when I 'm flashing latest LOS

E1001:Failed to update system image.What's the problem

Try another build

It seems to be due to the different size of the south Korean partition, but I don't know how to solve it
