Error status 7 occurs when what you are trying to flash is not built for your specific model number or if you're trying to flash a custom ROM via stock recovery or if you're trying to flash a stock update.zip via custom recovery.
It has to be for your specific model number
Are you certain that you successfully flashed TWRP and are you certain that you're booted into TWRP instead of stock recovery?

Yes , i successfully flashed twrp and i also booted into it . But it was a older version 3.3-0 (cofface) and was unofficial and was installed via a twrp installer package . And i rom i was trying to flash was also correct . I also tried it with Lineage OS and it was the same .Then downloaded the Miui stable rom and flashed it and was successful . But before booting it said "No OS installed" , so i tried having a backup and when i did my device got Bricked .

Hi Currently I am having Honor 4c with Kitkat 4.4.2 (V100R001C636B160) version I wanted to Upgrade my android version to Marshmallow(CHM-U01C432B560) or any other custom ROM. I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
I wanted to install cutom rom in my Mi4i working on MIUI 8, so I installed TWRP from toolkit , which also installed SuperSU.But I don't know if my bootloader was unlocked or not?
I saw in a youtube video to flash MIUI 6 first to install Custom rom or you might endup in BOOTLOOP.
In TWRP I wiped Dalvik,Data,Cache,System.
Went to INSTALL, tried installing MIUI6 but that package failed to install. Giving error unable to mount.
I tried custom rom crDroid and it installed but when I restarted I WAS STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.
After a heartattack I finally flashed MIUI8 with MiFLASHER using fastboot image of MIUI 8.
SO, I want to ask IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM ,IF I AM ON MIUI 8????
And that bootloop was caused beacuse I didn't unlock bootloader when I installed crDroid???
Thanx in advance. Please somebody help???

I would suggest you to install Resurrection Remix as it is based on miui8 firmware.
You were stuck in bootloop because crDroid was based on miui6 firmware and probably your installation of the same was failed ( Like you're saying )
Since you get "Heart Attack", Prefer clean install.
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash Rom, gapps,
Reboot to system.
Note:- To install custom ROMs based on miui6 firmware, first of all, flash the provided firmware in the thread instead of flashing the whole miui6.
Ask further if it doesn't work.
Hit thanks if helped.

If you can not into recovery or download mode, try to flash TWRP again.
Or flash back stock firmware if that does not work. Keep in mind to use Home_CSC to boot wipe your data.

Just flash stock firmware through odin again then boot back into download mode then flash TWRP and untick "Auto-Reboot" option then when flashing is done, boot into recovery manually to verify if TWRP is installed properly then you could boot back up to OS from TWRP it shouldn't loop if all went well. Also make sure that before you flashed TWRP, you enabled OEM Unlock and USB Debugging option in developer options.

It's fine , Flashing TWRP first time wipes your data thus you get bootloop. You just need to Flash a custom rom and evertything will he fine.

Yes since TWRP needs internal storage and data wipe to properly work with these partitions when coming from stock ROM but flashing a custom ROM after a clean wipe of the partitions should work fine.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION :
after flashing twrp with odin open twrp and format data after then there is a bug for j7 devices sd card won't work so u need a pc to transfer no verify encryption file to.internal storage here is the file or you can flash magisk 22.1 to disable keneral encryption
(THIS PROBLEM OCCURS BCZ AFTER FLASHING YOUR KENERAL FORCE ENCRYPT YOU TO NOT BOOT IN ROM BCZ OF SECURITY FLASH THIS FILE TO COMPRAMIZE KENERAL SECURITY )
Just Flash the custom rom you have downloaded.
Same thing happened to me when i flash recovery for the first time stucked at the bootlogo.

I'm new to flashing custom roms and stuff.
I was using MIUI 12.0.x global after which I did the following things:
unlocked bootloader officially by waiting 7 days
installed twrp recovery successfully
flashed disable dm_verify_encrypt zip successfully
but when I tried to flash evolution x custom rom, it says: invalid zip file format and install failed
Then, i installed orangefox recovery via twrp but I got the same error
It's not that my custom rom zip file is corrupt or the file is responsible for the issue because i tried to flash unofficial version (5.9 immortak xda) too and i was getting the same invalid zip file format error.
Please somebody help . Thankyou
Look I was on stock miui 12.0.2.0 , my device is whyred.

Error 7 usually means the ROM is not intended for your specific model number or there is an error with updater script in the ROM zip.
[FIX][SOLVED]Status 7 Error with CWM or TWRP Recovery on Rooted Android!
When installing certain custom ROMs on rooted Android smartphones or tablets, you will encounter “Status 7″ error issues once in awhile with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see...
