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.

[Q] Can't install ROMs

Hi,
I've been using the same old rom for a year or so (slim rom or sth). Lately i tried updating it to something else, but I get this when I start installing rom in TWRP: Error executing updater binary in zip (...). It works the same way every rom i tried.
UPDATE:
Kinda looks like i can install slim rom 4.3 (so i suppose i could install any 4.3), but none of 4.4 works.
Best regards.
Tried to flash CWM recovery from rommanager app, but it said "Failed to flash recovery...".
please help
Download latest recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/crespo-philz-touch-t2284670
Then try to flash the ROM. It seems your recovery is very old.

@smit.sanghavi is right.
You need KitKat compatible Recovery. Update your recovery and then try to flash the ROM.
K guys, wanted to try all you said, but there's another problem.
I discovered my nexus isn't rooted. Bootloader unlocked, but any root checker says its unrooted (of course it was before...). So I'm trying to reroot it but when im connecting my phone via usb in bootloader windows 7 doesn't recognize the device. When the phone is connected in recovery or in normal usb debugging mode it recognizes it as adb android, looks good to me. I go back to booloader and i get "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" in Devices.
Installed the drivers on few different ways.
So.... what now ?
UPDATE: solved

[Q] No more Operating System on device

I recently rooted my galaxy tab 2 P3110 with Odin and CWM recovery 6011 and i seemed to have wiped the stock android os as i cannot boot into it anymote - the Tablet automically boots into CWM all the time
Then when i try to install Slimrom or CM installer to flash and install a new OS but i getting an error 7 - unverified file so i cannot put any Os back on the device
Can anyone help?
Sounds like you flashed the wrong recovery, possible that you installed the p3100 recovery.
Try reflashing the recovery.

Flashing KK ROMs on outdated recovery will get you a status 7 error. Grab the latest (I'd go with TWRP as CWM support will be ending soon) version from here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 update to the latest one you like (CWM is 6.0.5.0) Load up a ROM and give it a go. I put all my ROMs on an external card to be safe. Maybe do that and then just install from such.
p,s. CM installer never works, I dont think our tabs are compatible with it. At least I've never got it to work.But, you dont need it anyways.

Tried TWPR, CWM = always get "error 7" when trying to install ROMS.

I had some issues with ROMs, so managed to revert back to stock. Now using TWRP, but only after trying with CWM, all ROMS get error 7, "can't install this package on top of incompatible data", and CWM said something about it being the wrong firmware for a "note4" or something.
I don't know what to do, can you flash roms through ODIN? Please note this is an N8010
Thanks for your help
NOTE 4 suggests you are flashing a wrong file for another model .
TWRP CWM and Philz Recovery and High On Android recovery work on N8010 tested all within the last month .
can you flash roms through ODIN? >> Custom roms no only stock tar files .
I've tried the CM 11, the CM 12 and Android revolution ROM, all supposedly work with the N8010. Revolution Rom was the first, installed but made a boot loop after I applied the N8010 compatibility flash. After that the file structure seemed to double - there was a new folder with all the other android directory inside it. I deleted the doubleup, but now I don't know what to do, it's back on stock.

Need uregent help!!! Miui 8 , bootloop !!!!! How to install custom rom with miui 8

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.

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 .
