So like the title says I would let you make it flashable zip from a twrp backup. Now before you all go crazy lol I have looked all over xda and I have followed every single guid I can find on doing it. Each time I do it it fails in TWRP when I try to flash it. Now I don't know if I am doing something wrong or what the deal is but for some reason it just will not boot it says fail every time I've tried with 7zip as well as WinRAR to make the zip and still nothing is there any kind of program or anything like that out there that can help me out can someone please point me in the right direction I definitely do not need my handheld just trying to figure this out and have been messing with it for the past 4 hours and getting pretty pissed off to be honest with you lol any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

Hey all I placed a new rom in my G2x the prob is I placed a few different ones to see which on I like I did a restore on my favorites but running outta space can anyone tell me where I can find my back ups and delete a few older ones, phone is rooted and flashed cwm recovery looked around but to many files to keep looking would be there a few days. thank you in advance
If you nvflased cwm then under sd card> clockworkmod > backups then just delete the oldest ones or which ever you choose.

I've been up for about the last 3 hours searching and experimenting. I'm creating a rom for a phone I don't own (bored and figured I might as well help while we have this dev reccession) and I'm using AVD (an android emulator) in Eclipse to kind of get a feel of how its coming along before I make any releases. It's just a heavily themed CM7 rom with a different kernal and a few goodies, nothing special but I'm starting with something easy to help me get back into android development (havent programmed anything in over 6mos lol). Im currently using 64bit Ubuntu 12.04.
Anyways, how can I extract the system.img and all of those without a nandroid backup so I can run the rom in an emulator? I was under the impression the mkfs.yaffs2 thing would extract them FROM the rom, but turns out it only extracts and recompiles .img's by themselves. I would ask somebody if they could flash it and just give me the nandroid backup but its still in an early alpha build and I dont feel comfortable letting anyone flash it until I stablize it and get rid of all the major bugs. That, and its a huge privacy risk on their end.
What can I do?

Thanks, but I was looking more for a way to extract them from the .zip
I downloaded an RUU, I'm going to try to extract the files from there. Ill post what happens
Well, that failed. I'm gonna see if I can get someone to maybe extract some of the files I need and send them to me or something. This is a huge pain in the ass but I can't release a build and have it brick everyone. The code looks good but I actually need to mess around with it before I can ship it off.
Uh, if you're talking about unzipping, you unzip, period.

I wish it was that easy haha. But I posted in the respective thread and I got a little bit of help. Thanks though
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket for AT&T. I have been rooted for a year now. I have installed a ton of roms over this time period.
However, now, everytime I try to install a ROM I always get the Status 7 Error message.
-I have wiped the phone 3-4 times before attempting to install a rom
-I updated CWM to 6.0.1.3 (latest version)
-I have installed a kernel first before attempting to install a ROM
-I have used a MacBook and a regular PC desktop to download the ROMs
I did everything above to try and see if the different ways work, but nothing did.
Now I can't use my phone since I can't install a ROM. Could someone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Here are my few suggestions:
Might try using odin to go back to stock. The sticky threads around here should be helpful for that.
Have you tried TWRP? Or sk8r's CWM touch? Some people have better luck with one recovery over others.

Why? Its a question, and its not specific to a certain ROM.

Can you provide me a link to his/her thread? I can't seem to find it so I can download it.
It's weird cause I just started having this problem with CWM.
All you need to do is mod one file in a ROM zip called the updater script

What do I change in that file?
Also, why did this occur now and not before?
Take out the top couple lines involving the word assert and showing a model number
It happens due to ROM makers putting that in to protect from bricks there is normally a toggle in recoveries to ignore it
Edit: in the time its taken to make all those posts you could have Google searched and had it fixed in about 5 mins

Negative. I did a ton of thread digging, I know I can just revert back to original rom with ODIN, but I'd rather not do it. I am looking for the simplest answer so that I can create a thread about it for people who do not want to search for hours and complete those lucrative tasks.
Also, MOST answers are like yours; they tell people what to do, but if people don't understand the 'lingo', the answer is useless. People need/want specifics, and that is what I am trying to do in the thread I am going to create. People shouldn't have to dig in threads with over 100+ pages.
Thank you for your help though.
Google never xda search dude there is step by steps that would take all of 3 mins to find

A Status 7 error most of the time means that theres an issue in the updater-script. Most of the time its something like a "comma" where a semi colon is supposed to be
I've had so much trouble with this damn phone. I don't know why its being so much harder then the e4gt. My biggest problem is all the dead links. I'm barely getting it to work. I got cm7 now I'm trying for cm9. Then on to cm10 if all goes well.:beer:

Some background:
Nexus 5
TWRP
Purity Rom
I currently am being prompted for an OTA that I have been told here will either fail completely or mess something up. So I would like to update my ROM (purity) from an older version to the newest version that is fully updated to 4.3.3.
BUT!
I have spent the last few hours trying to find out how to actually update to the newest update to the ROM without wiping the device(apps configuration, and settings). To be honest im only assuming its even possible.
Can some one please point me in the right direction or give me some more info on this.... Thanks a lot.
The help is appreciated I am new to this....
You can try and dirty flash the newer Tom. It might work and it might not. Make a nandroid first and backup with titanium backup too. Worst case is you have a lot of fc's
