[Completed] Status 7 despite 'assert' edit - XDA Assist

Hey, i've been getting this 'status 7' error on my galaxy tab 2 10.1. I tried insatalling omni rom 4.4 but it didnt install the first time. So, i went to the updater-script and then tried to remove the assert part of it using editpad lite but apparently it doesnt have assert written but it did have the get prop part so i removed it but the same problem persists. I hav3 even redownloaded it but still it says some symlinks failed.

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The errors that you've been encountering while attempting to install the ROM are usually caused by the user trying to install a ROM that isn't intended for that device. Where did you find the ROM?

I downloaded the rom from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581782

Which variant do you have (P5100/P5110/P5113)? And which exact link are you using?

Well i tried to install one of these omni-4.4.4-20150120-p5110-NIGHTLY.zip
But didnt work and so assuming the download probably was wrong i redownloaded and then tried to unzip and then edit the updater-script but it just had no assert line in it. I today tried to flash cm-11-20150209-NIGHTLY-p5110 but that didn't work either. On this occasion it says that i cannot install this ROM over incompatible data or something like that

Ok, but you haven't answered my other question, I can't help you effectively unless you give the information that I ask for. So, which variant do you have (P5100/P5110/P5113)? Also, did you perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) when flashing the ROM? The "cannot install this ROM over incompatible data" suggests that you didn't.

i have a p5110. And i have recently(out of desperation) installed a stock ROM from a link. A ROM with shakatu written on it. M sorry m new here, i dont really know everything about my own situation. But anyway, so the new ROM finally did get installed but since my tab was rooted before, when i try to reboot, it now says "root access missing. Root now?" Do i need to root my tab again?if so then plz tell me how i can do that. Thx for replying again

If you've flashed a stock ROM then yes Toynbee lost root. Just boot into your TWRP recovery again and go directly to the reboot screen and select reboot system, it will ask again if you want to root it, select yes.
Best of luck with your device.

Help installing CM10

I am having trouble, and since I cant post on the page where this should be asked. (this is my first post) I am asking here hoping that somebody will look...
I have rooted my verizon S3 and it works great... I am however trying to install a CM10 Rom on my device. I have followed the instructions and get all the way to selecting the zip on the sdcard. it finds it, it opens it and after about 20 seconds it gives me a status 7 error and says error in XXXXXX\XXXXX .zip
I have done all the steps perfectly and have formatted and wiped it twice trying this... I even have my backup in place...
I have tried 3 or 4 different cm10 roms and they all give me the same error... What am i over looking?
Thanks
I think you need to flash a CWM/kexec hybrid recovery.
Download the app EZ Recovery and flash the hybrid CWM 6.0.1.0

Well if he made the nooby mistake to flash cm10 with a non kexec recovery ..i think he should abandon his hopes of installing cm10 considerong the lost IMEI issue

That us not the issue... I can get into the CWM recovery just fine.. when I choose the install zip from sdcad and choose the rom it will go through finding the package, then opening the update package and then installing update... 20 seconds later i get some symlinks failed, then I get a status 7 error in the file itself..

nope and now im stuck boot looping TWRP after trying what you suggested unsuccessfully.
I appreciate the help... any ideas how I can get out of TWRP back to CWM so I can restore a backup?
Thanks..
You could always Odin back to stock then re-root and install cwm again and restore your backup. May be an easier way not sure. But back up your files on a PC if you do that.

I don't know how you are blaming me when I specifically told you to flash a ClockworkMod/Kexec recovery... not TWRP.
Seems your issue is lack of following directions. Good luck on solving your issue.

need a real quick answer about rooting

So sorry guys, I couldnt find an answer through search. I rooted using Noxious Ninja's Windows program. Then unlocked bootloader, then flashed to CWM 6.0.1. I downloaded Beans Touchwiz ROM and I copied it to Root, now I rebooted in Recovery to install the ROM from zip but there is no Root folder, but I still have the Bean ROM in my Downloads folder as well. Can I install it from there or do I HAVE TO install it from Root directory?
So sorry guys, Ive been at this for hours LOL and have a terrible headache.
You do not have to flash from your "root" folder.
You may do so from your downloads folder perfectly fine.

thanks, now only if i can delete this thread.
I dont know if your still here, but immediately after installing the ROM from .zip the directions say to restore... I just click restore and it like wiped out the ROM I just installed and put my phone the way it was before!!! Do I not restore from Recovery after I install a ROM?
No you make a back up before you name any modification to your device. And if you bork it you can restore then. Don't restore unless your not happy with new rom or you messed something up

Quick? Along these lines...... if I just backup my data, could I flash a new rom then flash data, would that restore all my data, and settings, or would It not be compatable from rom to rom

Don't do that.
The data's not compatible, yes.
Edit: Sometimes the data is compatible, e.g. if the dev says so, in which case you can dirty flash over without wiping the data.

A small rooting dilema

Hello everyone, I'm completely new to androids and I recently rooted my phone with CF's Auto Root.
I've been scouring the forum for information on how to resolve my problem but none that really help me with my specific problem
I want to re root with clockwork but can't find anything on it
Can someone help me out here? Sorry for sounding really dumb, I just switched over from apple this stuff is a completely different world to me
Completly factory reset your phone n try rooting again . If it fails, you need to root using the same software as you did earlier

So with my original method I've rerooted my phone. How do I install clockwork mod on a rooted phone if it wasn't installed in the rooting process?
Take a look at the "goo manager " app and TWRP instead of CWM.
But CWM also has an easy install app if your phone is supported. Just see if it is or not and go from there either way.

Thanks for answering Pennycake.
I'm on Rogers Carrier OEM firmware right now and I'd like to flash the international firmware as to rid bloatware to my Note 2.
Which app would you recommend me to backup my rom with?
I've successfully rerooted, I found the problem with my phone. After it had been unrooted it needed to be rebooted in order for some effects to take change. So through the original method of CF-Auto Root, I rerooted my phone. I've installed the standalone ClockWorkMod app but it doesn't seem to make back ups properly. Through the app I hit back up and it shows the time stamp I hit 'ok' and my phone shuts off and starts up in recovery mode only not in ClockWorkMod but Android system recovery <e3> or something along those lines with only options to: reboot, install updates from adb, wipe data, etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Try installing the recovert img using clockworkmod before backups, because its not an app error, it is a user error. Using chainfires root method means no cwm. Using odin or lemme guess, you have a gs3, unified tool kit you get cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What recovery do you have right now? If it's twrp (team win) do that go with clockwork mod. Twrp (goo manager) is by far (in my opinion) the best and user friendly. But it's your call. And you don't have to un root and re root to do it. You just have to flash the new recovery via bootloader and it will work. For rom choices I personally like jedi xpx and jellybam. With jedi xpx you can overclock the sh*t out of your note 2 to 1920 and it's still stable.
I've used many recoveries and twrp is my choice hands down. And yiu make back ups easier. So dont unroot again and re root. Just download the latest twrp and flash through bootloader. but to each their own

I'm on the Galaxy Note 2 i317m in Canada. Clockworkmod isn't letting me back up, everytime I get the box with the timestamp to create a back up I hit 'ok', my phone reboots into recovery mode and its the stock recovery, so no option to restore. Also when my phone's model isn't listed in the clockworkmod flashing menu within the app. Is my phone not supported? The N7100 is the one listed when it asks you do confirm a phone model.

When I boot into recovery it says is Android System Recovery <3e> and below are listed a few options, reboot, wipe cache, install from adb, etc
Then you dont have twrp installed. And by the sound of it you dont have cwm either

[q] please help

Hello everyone i currently flashed my sph-d710 or sprint gaxy s2 to a kit kat rom. now first i tried flashing back to other roms, nothing lower then jb and i cant. so i was thinking of flashing a rom and tried backing up through rom manager and it brought me into recovery with an error. My a.d.d. having ass deleted the villumanti by accident b4 the error and i wiped/reset everything including cache during the error,and couldnt flash anything (i tried 3 roms). IN THE END I REBOOTED ALL WAS THERE.I think i have an idea of what happened. I think it could be due to a modem issue e.g. downgrading from kit kat to jb. Should i flash a custom kernel thru mobile odin and get the recovery from there(IM RUNNING THE LATEST CWM I BELIEVE)or should i boot into recovery wipe all data cache reboot recovery and flash the modem, reboot into recovery again proceed as normal. Also what modem should i use. If ive been to vague or you need any more info let me know. P.s. I ASK THAT ANY MOD WOULD APPROPIATELY PLACE THIS THREAD IN THE RIGHT SECTION SHOULD IT BE IN THE WRONG THANK YOU

Tablet stuck in boot loop.

Hey guys,
I had an older version of ParanoidAndroid on my Tab2 and I wanted to install something else. So I found a ROM here and tried to install it from CWM. I (think I) made the dumb mistake of formatting everything before installing, and during installation it just... failed. I googled since and found that the current version of CWM might be incompatible with 4.4 (that the ROM was running). Whatever the case, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
When you formatted everything, did you mean /system to?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Nope. Sorry for the bad wording, I meant that from CWM I did a "wipe data/factory reset", wiped cached partition, dalvik cache.
First is there a way you can update your CWM recovery? Also, can you still enter download mode to flash?

First, I don't know how to update the CWM recovery. I found updates on the CWM website (can't link to it due to low post count here) but it only has .img files, which Odin doesn't support. I don't know any other method of installing this other than Odin, at this point.
And yes, I can still enter download mode, and CWM. I just don't know what to do with them.

Tell me what is the model number of your Galaxy Tab and I will find some recovery image and ROM you can flash and provide instructions.
It's the P3110.
