Keep getting error 7 on ROMs installation - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my z5 from the service centre.
I use this guide to root my phone as soon as I got it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/ftf-e66xx-patched-kernels-google-drive-t3630282
Then proceeded to install Resurrection remix and LineageOS.
First one gave me error 7 and the latter too.
I tried to delete the assert line in updater-script but the same problem persist.

You have to flash twrp 3.1.1 and everything will work without problem, so you are doing something wrong.

TWRP flash is already inside the guide. How would I say I get error 7 without installing TWRP?

That's kinda weird since I specifically deleted the line that checks for the device string for RR (only the AOSP / lineageOS based TWRP versions would match, so that check is kinda stupid),
in that case users need to know for sure that they have that specific device (e.g. NOT flashing Z5 compact to Z5) but the hassle is removed.
I believe I'm using the attached TWRP (it's 3.1.0 anyway),
and with that I could flash RR without problems

i will flash that TWRP again and try re-installing the ROM again

Still the same errorRIP

Cyanogenmod update fails with error 7

Hello everybody, I hope to find help here.
My phone is the HTC One A9, Europe Version ("hiaeuhl"). Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-0.
The background story is that I already managed to install Cyanogenmod after downgrading the original ROM to Version 1.10 and unlocked the bootloader with the HTC Unlock tool. I also managed to decrypt the device.
I'd like to update my system regularly, but unfortunately the last running version is the cm-13.0-20160904-NIGHTLY-hiaeuhl.zip from September 4th.
If I try to install the latest versions of Cyanogenmod (for example from September 9th) I always get the error
hiae.veryfy.trustzone() failed to read current TZ version: -2
Updater process ended with ERROR 7
I already tried to remove the lines that check this in the file updater_script inside the ROM's zip, then I could install the update, but afterwards I was stuck in a boot loop.
The error has nothing to do with the encryption, it apears with and without device encryption, and it has nothing to do which system (original or custom) is installed before flashing. It is also indifferent if I try the update via the system's update function or directly in TWRP. It's the fact that the Cyanogenmod version from September 4th is the last working for me. I definetly chose the right one for hiaeuhl, but it seems the developers have added a feature that makey my device incompatible to this ROM.
If there is anything I can do to update my system again, please let me know.
Have the same issue.
We need to update it, but I don't know how
jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-3351
Here is how I could solve the issue:
- flashing the latest stock firmware (and let it possibly completely update)
- install TWRP via fastboot
- from TWRP a factory reset
- install new version of the Cyanogenmod from TWRP
It worked for me, now I can use my beloved custom Rom
The Same Problem
I have exactly the same Problem, last working CM-Update was the 3rd September
Did you try my solution? With the older CM Rom versions for the HTC A9 you had to downgrade the stock rom, otherwise the CM wouldn't have started after the installation. Now it seems that the stock rom has to be the latest one (for me the 1.56) that you are able to flash the latest CM versions.
I do not have the latest stock Rom, my os is 1.27.161.6, seems actually cm needs 1.57, i am unlocked and s-off
You should probably find the right version for your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/wip-ruu-htc-one-a9-t3240344
You should take the one with the right cid for your phone (which you can find with "fastboot getvar all" in the fastboot mode)
Thanks, i will try it and report
The last build i found for my version is 1.27. this is what i have
Hmmm... then I guess you have to wait until the new version appears in the forum. Seems that you have a device with vodafone branding. Since you already set S-off you also have the possibility to change your cid to one of the existing newer firmwares.
Is there a solution without going back to stock?
I'm not an expert, but I don't think so. It seems that the version number of the stock rom is stored somewhere even after changing the system to Cyanogenmod, and this version has to be the latest one. So unfortunately, as far as I know, you'll have to do the flashing procedure again...
thanks Silberhase, now i am on CM 13 again. Thats what i did: wrote Supdercid, searched a ruu-version for my build, found a 1.56.401.70 version, flashed this, then flashed twrp 3.0.2.0 again, factory reset - without factory reset i was not able to install cm, format data, recovery, latest cm update, flash gapps, restore my other data with titanium, done....
I'm glad to hear it worked for you!
Yes, but next Problem or better i actually do not know what problems will raise. After updating today successfully to last cm build phone is encrypted... TWRP requires password for decryption. Problem all over forums. Today i habe no fun to Format data again and restore all.
That's also what I experienced. Other users reported that the current TWRP version 3.0.2.0 can't handle the encryption of the HTC One A9. And every update will encrypt the device again. As a workaround you can do this:
- copy the downloaded update from /sdcard/cmupdater to the external memory card
- boot to the recovery (when asked for password push the cancel button) and install both the update and the gapps again (without wiping anything) from the memory card.
Its a pity, all worked perfectly. Installed last cm.. Which encrypted phone. Restored my backup. All Working. Updated apps, want backup again.... .... Error opening /system/addon.d (not a directory)..error in generating tarlist......Create tarfork()
Process Ended with error 255
I'm trying to help as much as I can even though I have no experience with all this. I never did a backup
Maybe you find the answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/e-createtarfork-process-error255-t3302462
Maybe it helps to mount "system" in TWRP and then delete /system/addon.d. But it seems that this step has to be repeated before every backup.
Any news to this theme? Is Twrp able to handle A9 again in new Version?
The recent version 3.0.2.0 of TWRP is available for the A9 but can't handle it's encryption. It works anyway if you are willing to use some workarounds.

Xperia T (Lt30p) resurrection

Hi guys hope you can help,
After successfully installing Lineage OS on an old Samsung phone, I decided to try giving an old Xperia T a new lease of life. I followed this thread as a guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000188
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and used flashtool to install the custom kernal listed on that thread. Thats where things got difficult, as upon restarting the phone it bootlooped. I tried flashing TWRP but couldn't get it to work so fastbooted CMD recovery, which works. I trying flashing Lineage OS as CWM13 is no longer available but could only find a Lineage 14.0 zip which I tried flashing off the exernal SD card (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/mint/install) which fails and gives the following error:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubuvxbbi2a7wruu/IMG_20180304_094603.jpg?dl=0
I was thinking maybe its not compatible so was looking for a lollypop rom to try instead, but marshmallow or above would be preferable.
Now im no expert at this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ok fixed it. Also downloaded AOSPs OREO OS and the latest twrp img. The error was resolved after flashing twrp with flashtool then in recovery under advanced wipe, select system, repair or change file system, Ext4. Then flashed OS, SuperSU and Gapps (8.1) and did a backup.

unable to install twrp over 3.1.1.1 on mi4c (trying to go from android 7.1 to 8 or 9)

Hey everyone,
i usually don't post questions but i've been on pretty much every forum the web has to offer and am still stuck so i'll try my luck here.
i'm currently running lineage 7.1 on my mi4c, i've used another phone for a while but now that my mi4c has a new battery i wanted to start using it again, is also decided this would be the time to update it to android oreo or pie, this however seems to be impossible.
i can only use twrp up to 3.1.1.1, all higher (and unofficial versions) will not boot via fastboot 'dtb not found' or when flashed via older twrp will freeze on boot screen.
whenever i try to install a new rom it tells me 'error code 7', when i remove the 'assert' lines in the update it gives me 'error code 6'
my device is unlocked, i have checked this in fastboot.
do i have to install miui again before installing another rom? do i have to go back to the standard recovery? i'm currently running out of ideas and hope you guys might be able to help me. maybe i'm overlooking something simple.
kind regards,
Monstreys
Hi! I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I was about to start a similar thread.
I try to do exactly what you are doing. I want to install LineageOS 16, unofficial ROM.
For this you need a newer TWRP, like 3.2.3.0, but it doesn't work 'dtb not found' like you said. I found out that this doesn't work because you need to have nougat bootloader. Most probably you have lollipop bootloader like I have, and thats why newer versions of TWRP are not working. I think the only way to update your bootloader to a nougat one is to flash the latest MIUI ROM. But, unfortunately, when you do that the bootloader gets locked, and I can't unlock it via MiUnlock due to Error:20091 when I try to link the phone to the Mi account. In MiUnlock it gives me the "this account cannot unlock the phone" or something like that.
Now I removed the "assert" lines from my rom and flashed it without the error 7 or 6. Some error still apears, but it also apears when I flash LineageOS 14.1, and that version is working even with those 2 errors I can't remember during flash.
After I flashed LineageOS, I flashed gapps and then superSU, and now my mi4c is stuck on mi logo for about 20 minutes, and I think it will remain that way.
So, there are 2 things we need to solve. We need to find a way to install latest MIUI without relocking the bootloader because I can't unlock it via MiUnlock, or to find out why after I flashed LineageOS 16 it gets stuck on MI logo.
I think I found the solution. Do exactly what this guy is doing here and it might work.

I followed that guy instructions and I managed to install TWRP 3.2.3.0 and LineageOS 16, and it booted. Now I am at the setup part but it has very big lag...

My MI4C has been successfully flushed into lineage-17.1-20200220-UNOFFICIAL-libra.zip. It has been updated on TWRP 3.1.1 and keeps reporting error 7, and then abandoned TWRP3.1.1 and flashed into OrangeFox-R10.0-1-Stable-libra.zip After brushing libra-aqua_firmware_7.2.9.zip on this REC, you can flash lineage-17.1. I do n’t think it will be impossible to refresh because of partition problems. If you only need to upgrade lineage-17.1, you can refer to this method.:good::good:(Translation is not easy to use)

There is a 3.2.x around. If you don't want to bother go in the zip, /META-INF/com/google/android/ and delete the first lines (the ones starting with "assert") from updater-script, save and flash again.

XT1039/Peregrine Need help!

Greetings,
I am trying to instal the LineageOS on my XT1039 Peregrine but I am always getting the following error: E1001: Failed to update system image. Updater process ended with ERROR: 7. I am able to install any stock rom on it, without any issue, but when I try to install Lineage, or any other modded rom, it doesn't work at all. (I've only tried Slim and cRdroid, both gave different issues as far as I remember). Doing google searchs mainly I found posts here and on Lineage subreddit which possible fixes which include: Updating the bootloader, which didn't work because it's already on the latest version, told me to downgrade TWRP and try to flash again also didn't work and I have tried editing the updater-script by removing the asserts or editing the block_image_update lines which also didn't work.
I have a XT1069 Titan which I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the twrp recovery and flashed the latest nightly LineageOS build and it worked just fine, but I can't get it to work on my XT1039 Peregrine.
Thank you for your time and apologies if something like this has already been solved before. I couldn't find a [solved] thread that works for me.
All stock roms from here work just fine:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
updater-script mods I tried:

tool I used to try to upgrade my bootloader, but I already had the latest version:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793
Edit: Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but before getting the stock roms to work, I think I may have hard or soft bricked my peregrine and somehow managed to fix thanks to a lot of hours on google and xda forums.
Off topic!
This is completely off topic, but let's say I want to sell a phone, if I wipe all partitions from twrp will it wipe everything leaving no trace like when we format a SSD before selling a PC? I belive that a factory reset done from android itself doesn't wipe the whole phone and possibly leave traces, is this correct?

Question Bricked trying to install LineageOS

Hello,
I have a moto G100 I just purchased. I unlocked the bootloader and I tried to install LineageOS but it was being difficult. I could get it to boot into TWRP. Now I tried to restore everything to stock as it wasn't even booting. After flashing the rom back in via fastboot the unit shows up as a serial device but that's it, no picture on the screen or anything.
I need some help to get this working again. Besides the directions on the LineageOS page sucks, steps are missing and things do not work properly.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode and won't boot.
Can anyone please help so this won't take weeks or months?
Thanks
Hello,
I fixed the brick with the blankflash file blankflash_nio_RRTS31.Q1-84-24-3-6
I was able to then use the official tool to recover the firmware. I was able to get LineageOS working but I wasn't able to do TWRP at all properly.
So I managed to install twrp but couldn't install lineage or anything out of it...
I managed to get TWRP installed but it was essentially useless as I couldn't access the internal flash unless it was setup by the OS already if you format the internal flash storage with TWRP it's useless especially via MTP.
I was able to install LineageOS and I was able to boot it, but I don't understand why it says I do not have enough space to install gapps. Without gapps LineageOS is essentially useless as an OS unless you do not use anything from google at all whatsoever not eve maps or anything.
How do I fix it so I can install gapps? I can't resize the system partition via TWRP as it doesn't even show it.
Thanks
if you have the bootloader unlocked you can try the "tinyflashscript" way and use that to overwrite all partitions with a stock image found here
RET stands for Retail and than the region code follows, just download the latest one for your region
after that your partitions are reset to the start and you could keep it that way or attempt to install lineage again but clean this time
I ran into the exact same situation as you with the storage issues and this fixed it for me
Hello my G100 was fully hard bricked trying to installed LineageOS (not the modded). I followed the following steps:
1. Installed and booted into LineageOS recovery from electimon.
2. Factory reset
3. Install ROM as adb sideload.
However, installation stuck at 47% and aborted. Phone was hard bricked once turned off. It couldn't even boot into booloader.
Luckily, I was able to enter EDL mode by pressing and holding volume and power down together for some time while it was plugged into PC using usb. Then I used blankflash to restore. This saved me from taking it to repair centre.
Hello,
I had the same brick issue and blankflash fixed it for me. I will try writing stock again then install LOSRecovery again and then try sideloading both LineageOS and gapps but I don't think that will work correctly as I think I did try that but we shall see, last time I did an install though after fixing the brick issue I used fastboot to do the stock recovery which should have fixed the partition sizes...
Thanks
It's strange that device becomes hard bricked because I installed LineageOS before and it booted fine. Only thing now changed is that I'm using February stock ROM instead of December one. Did Motorola change anything in Feb update that would cause hard brick when trying to install custom ROM?
Also, I've never did the "Ensuring all firmware partitions are consistent" thing. It worked before but not sure if we need to do it now.
Hello,
Strange indeed I can get LineageOS installed BUT because this is an A/B phone which is so silly, I can't install Gapps into LineageOS so essentially useless as the installer says the partition is too small and I do not have a way to fix that at the moment.
Thanks, and blankflash was able to get me up and running on stock but I cannot use the phone yet just like the DooGee S95 Pro I bought in hopes to use LineageOS... long story. Stuck with my ZTE Axon 7 from 2016 and a crap phone to make calls since my provider killed service to my ZTE Axon 7 so I carry basically 3 phones now. Until there is a fully working TWRP I am essentially screwed and feel like I wasted $400 on another phone.

Using the method I described above I was able to install Lineageos 19.1 and then gapps (mindthegapps) using lineage recovery. it should be entirely possible
Hello,
With the storage not being large enough I was trying to install openGapps ( stock size ) for Android 11 since I was trying to use Lineage 18.1 and not 19/19.1 since 19/19.1 appear to have bugs and 18.1 does not. Anyhow I tried to sideload openGapps and it said there wasn't enough space on the system partition. I suppose I should try mindthegapps instead.
Thanks
So anyone successfully installed it without causing hardbrick? What exact steps did u follow? r u using g100 or edge s and what is the build number of stock rom prior to install? thanks

I used the latest stock after doing a recovery with blankflash and the rescue utility from Motorola. I then installed LOSrecovery because TWRP isn't ready. I then booted into LOSrecovery and sideloaded 19.1 latest from this forum. I can't figure out how to resize /system correctly so I cannot install anything other than MindTheGapps which sucks a lot.
Anyhow if we get a working TWRP soon that will allow resize as TWRP can't show the system partition and A/B switching is being worked out then we will be good to go.
If this isn't helpful or you need exact commands then I can do that too for you.
