Hello everybody.
I've scoured these forums for a few days now, in hope that I can resolve this very frustrating problem but, alas, I've failed in my mission and have had to resort to picking your brains. (sorry about that!)
I'm running Cyanogen mod 7 on my T-Mobile G2 GSM and so far the ROM has worked brilliantly. The only reason I'd like to change is because of the poor GPS. I've tried a patch and the command fix but both of them didn't work for me.
Anyway... When I boot into Clockwork mod recovery (and wipe all the necessary files) and try to load my new ROM, I'm presented with an error message similar to this:
------------------------------------
finding update package...
opening update package...
E:error in / [ROM NAME & LOCATION]
Install Aborted
------------------------------------
I've tried downloading the rom several times via different websites, tried different ROMs all together, followed every bit of advice I could muster on here, and even purchased a new memory card... Just in case.
It's really frustrating though because I have to use recovery to get Cyanogen back (I need it to tether or I have no internet at home!) and that takes so long each time.
As you can probably imagine, it's really frustrating .
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Thanks again,
Bacoon.

on sdcard /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod folder there is a log take a look at it
I think you have to flash a corresponding CWM by fastboot utility
Thank you for getting back to me!
There are 2 that I can see. Should i go for Recovery.log or Report.log?
It's also giving me lots of options to view it... Should I use html viewer? It seems like the only thing that'd work.
Cheers!
EDIT:
I used the HTML viewer on "Report.log" and it came up with a HUUUGE list. Anything in particular I should be looking for, mate?

report.log is generated from cwm recovery menu to report them errors
It says open ROM Manager to repport the issue
recovery.log in a general log to describe CWM activity
I think easy way is to change to a CWM that will allow you to flash that ROM
(I can't tell you exactly because I don't have links)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to see/edit files use notepad or better Notepad++ that's a decent editor/viewer best Notepad replacement
I don't know give me a link to that log or better think to change CWM recovery...

hi
Ok I've tried to find answers online myself and in this forum and getting more confused instead of getting my issues sorted. I've got a sony xperia e C1505 and I want to get rid of the bloatware on it. To do that i know it needs rooted. I've downloaded framaoot ( i know this will sound very clueless but not sure what version, the file name extends off the screen and i had a couple of versions at one point as i was having difficulty installing them via the pc, kept getting parsing errors)
The one I have has the option to install superSU which I've left and both Aragorn and Gandalfexploits. I keep getting error #7. I placed the apk file from my pc onto my phone in the sd card so not sure what the issue would be. I tried the oldest and newest apk files from the xda thread about rooting using framaroot but had parsing errors.
Can anyone give me a bit of advice? It seems like a really simple thing to do in theory just not in practice and it's getting really frustrating that I dont knw how to resolve the errors on framaroot..
thanks

you have to run the bat file form your computer with you phone connected to it
make sure you have adb properly installed, then run the "install.bat" file
I am a total newbie to Android modifications, and tried to find a way of specifying custom notifications on my HTC One Max. I have later found the application Ringdroid that fixes everything that I needed, but before I did that, I believed that I had to root the phone to achieve this. So, I read a lot of stuff, downloaded a lot of files, messed with adb, clockworkmod, rumrunner etc. without really knowing what I was doing, and in the end gave up, since it didn't look like I managed to root the phone properly after all. But, anyway, I understood that something had changed, since a couple of applications were missing. Anyway, the phone has worked fine since then, until recently, when I got a notice that software update 4.13.401.7, containing Android 5.0 Lollipop, and various other stuff, was ready for installation. So, I downloaded the update, and told it to install. The phone reboots, and then I get the following message:

Is there a way of letting me a) reset my phone to the default settings, letting me do this upgrade? or b), do this upgrade without resetting it?

After an extensive search of both this site and using google for the error, I am stuck at a crossroads in terms of trying to install the GPE DigitalHigh edition on my HTC One M8.
The issue is as follows:
Installed RUU of GPE 5.1 (this is the only RUU I have at present)
Did all the various system & cache wipes etc using TWRP
Did the filesize repair on System
Tried to install the above ROM using the installer and got the following error:
failed to mkdir /system/etc/firmware/wcd9320/wcd9320_mbhc.bin: No space left on device
And then the various symlink errors associated and an Installation Status 7 Failed
Now I get the issue, in that the /system folder is clearly not big enough, an issue with the GPE RUU from what I have read. However, the only advice I can find to rectify this is to use the RESIZE option in Advanced Wipe in TWRP. However, I have done this, I've even done it a few times in succession in case it is like the RUU process and doesn't necessarily work first time. However, another run of the installer and I get the exact same error. Looking at my system (in Wipe) after a failed install, I can even see that the system partition is full, but I don't know how else I can resize it to avoid this error.
As I said, trawled through almost 500+ posts trying to find answers, from where I gleaned the above information, but no other way to resize the system partition than the method I tried. Therefore, I would genuinely appreciate any help anyone could give in overcoming this error, by whatever method is best/works best.
I have full log file from my failed install and can also explain the steps I took / files I used in more detail too if necessary. At present, it's just a case of another RUU of the GPE 5.1 at the moment until I can find a solution Purely wanting to install so I have the M8 camera functionality back if anybody has any other tips for achieving this other than the above (again, searches etc have led me to the camera.apk, I've had it installed etc but the editor still goes to the FX editor, without any of the HTC sense camera functions (like Duo, U-Focus etc) that I am keen to get back.
Again, apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but it's not for the want of looking, and as a new user not allowed to post directly on the ROM post yet. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sie

You would have a better chance of finding a working solution if you go to the M8 forum.
I'll bet @xunholyx can get you straight, he's pretty experienced with the M8 I think.

You need to run a Sense RUU to resize your partitions. The GPE system partition is too small for Sense based ROMs and RUU is how you fix it. Just like you ran a GPE RUU to resize your partitions for that.

If you don't know where to get the RUU, or if you need instructions, post/reply here and I'll give you complete directions on how to do it.

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciate your help. I think I'm ok with the RUU process itself, as I ran it to get to this point, however I'm not sure where to locate the RUU I would need to effectively "roll back" to stock, so any help with that, and directing me in which of the plethora to choose would be greatly appreciated! Perhaps if you could give me simple instructions, so it's not too time consuming for you, but to ensure I'm not missing anything in the RUU process that could lead to further complications, that would be a big help too!

Download this splash.zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it onto your extSD. Boot into bootloader and select hboot if it doesn't automatically. Vol up to flash, power to reboot. That'll repartition your phone, but with old firmware. Delete the renamed zip from extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.
Next, download this RUU onto your PC to update to Lollipop. Hook up your phone and double click on the download, then follow the prompts. You'll probably get a "fail hboot pre-update" (or something like that). The first run updates the hboot with old firmware. Just run the RUU a second time without disconnecting, and the conversion back to Sense will be complete.

I'm not sure.
Try the splash.zip download and instructions from here. It should be the same file, but trying another download and flashing from your PC might work better for you.

Brilliant, tried those and it worked a treat. Then installed using the RUU you gave me, and as promised I was greeted with a full back to stock Sense version, and have been able to install the ROM I wanted. Thanks once again for all your help, truly appreciated!
I'm guessing it was the CID that was causing the error, if anybody has the same problem in the future and ends up on this thread. I'm guessing if I'd have changed the CID your method with the HBOOT would probably have worked too (as out of curiosity I tried the HBOOT method with your file and it then worked).
Thanks again, great to know there are people out there willing to try and help each other. :highfive:
I am trying to put a more advanced rom from your site on to my Samsung 7.7 p6810.
Each time I try to install one I get a Status 7 error.
So far I have tried
lollipop_cm-12.1_20151006-unofficial-p6810.zip
omni-6.0.1_20160115-p6810-homemade.zip
Both have that error.
I started with cwm-20120710-p6810.tar
I thought that twrp might not produce the error so loaded:-
twrp-2.6.3.0-p6810.tar
I am using twrp and that still has the error.
I used Odin3_v3.10.6 to load the cwm and later the twrp.
I copied root.zip to the 7.7 and flashed that with the initially installed CWM
Can some kind soul suggest what I might be doing wrong? I see something about editing scrips in the zip files. I guess I could to that but (a) I am warned it is dangerous if the software is for the wrong machine and that is what I understand a Status 7 signal is saying.
And (b) it is going to be very tedious if I have to edit every new zip file as I experiment with your (nightly) upgrades.
Killing the Status 7 must be the way forward.
I received a nice warm welcome from Brandon when I signed up for XDA a few days ago. Let's hope someone has a nice warm solution.

Forgive me for bumping but the message has had 52 view and not a single post of help.
In desperation I have tried editing those first few lines of the updater script with Notepad ++ but I still get a Status 7 error.
I'd love to post in the Samsung 7.7 thread as it does seem more active but the rules do not permit it. Can someone help me get moving please?
Tony
I'll add a bit more information for the support gent, or lady, who takes up this thread.
Firstly I am getting no blue line on the TWRP progress bar - whereas I do on the Restore that I have to use rather more often than I would like.
My error message on a file that has those top lines removed from the script says:-
Applyparsedperms ; lstetfilecon of system/lost+found to ubject_r:system_file:s0 failed. Operation not supported on transport set metadata_recursive: some changed failed.
Then the Status 7 msg.
Does this help?
Tony
After 99 views over two days and no help I have reposted this thread in the Q&A thread.
Sorry folk at XDA. I do find getting started here is confusing. Assist and Q&A for Help do sound rather similar to this noobie over here in the UK.
All answers ought now go to my new thread so they are contained for the next person with a Status 7 problem - NOT HERE.

Flash your device specific custom recovery latest version,
If you updated to Android versions flash recovery for updated version
Flash your device specific custom rom
Re download your rom which may be corrupted shows error
