[Q] HELP! Can't flash custom ROM, status 7 error =(

Hi every i've been trying to flash my tmobile HTC ONE S to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean v2.13,fromt this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890464
I unlocked(still s-on), rooted, and tried a couple different recoveries (CWM 5.8.31,5.8.24,5.8.15 etc. and TWRP 1.7, 2.2)
what I did was first unlock,then flash recovery, and root, then flash boot.img from the ROM package, and install from SDcard. However everytime I get a Status 7 error messege, and installation fails...
And one time I tried to install from CWM ROM manger from Google Play in the OS, still failed after it reboot and goes in to recovery.
Some people on the web says that this means I need a different or newer recovery, but I've probably tried all the main and newest versions.....
pls help! thnx in advance!! =)

nvm!!! I was stupid enough to download the ROM version for HTC ONE X..hahaha..

try flashing the Rom the way u downloaded and don't try any modification or dint unzip and rezip, flash a fresh download.
full wipe required to boot

in cwm go to mounts and storage and mount all that is unmounted.
Then flash the rom.
This is common to all 10.1 A1 and A2 roms.

Hello. Download and install again and all will be well.=))

Well i have the same problem , though how it started is weird. i got CM11 working on the same model , when i tried retsore backup via recovery mode, it suddenly froze, said no data found , and eversince i cant do anything with the phone.i can only start recovery mode, or download mode . i cant flash it because ODIN doesnt add my phone , i have reinstalled samsung drivers several times with no luck . is there any other way to fix this ? can it be fixed at all ?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Copy cm11 to ext SD card using a card reader and flash it via cwm recovery. Good luck.

Can't flash anuthing through CWM

Hi guys
I flashed my CWM 6.0.3.5 through terminal emulator .. but i tried to flash two different ROMs and i tried to flash another CWM but it failed all
now i have to flash CWM trough Odin ... can i flash a new CWM trough odin directly ? or i have to flash a stock recovery using odin before flashing CWM ? and if i have to flash stock recovery could you give me a link for download it ? I searched but no result
thanks guys
BTW speedmod ROM is the best ever thing could happen to ACE plus !!

Try ROM Manager app from play store and flash the appropriate cwm version. And I believe you can flash without going back to stock
You can also switch to twrp...
Please hit thanks if I helped you anyway

use cwm 5.5.0.4 or twrp 2.5

when i tried to install CWM through ROM manager a pop-up window appear saying that GT-S7500 does not have an officially CWM supported yet :/
.. my device was not listed above :/
And can I flash twrp without going back to stock recovery ??

helppls

Must make sure you have root. If your root is messed up you may not be able to install a custom recovery.

To flash that KitKat, you had to place a newer CWM or TWRP recovery version.
To flash cm-7.2, you need to go back to the older recovery!

For KitKat ROMs a recovery equivalent to 6.0.4.5 or newer is required to flash. The newer recoveries are capable of flashing CM 10.2 to CM11. All older Android versions will require the use of an older recovery, pre 6.0.4.5, such as CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch by vivekkalady.
