im running the latest clockwork recovery on my galaxy s2 and it wont install roms keeps giving me status 7 error how do i fix this i tried re installing the zip moving the to the sd card didnt work
Sounds like you don't have an I9100. Check your model number.
Or you do and you're trying to install ROMs for a different device.
Nope it a i9100 international version the Rom is a s2 i9100 rom no matter what rom I try I get the same error even ones I've flashed before and have worked

Hi guys!
So I did step by step as it says in here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
I've installed ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4, copied update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS2-signed on my memory-card and when I want to install it I get error like that:
s1.pokazywarka.pl/bigImages/1131658/3853332.jpg
I've tried reinstalling ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and it didn't help. I even installed it through ODIN and the result was the same as when installed using Heimdall Suite.
Any ideas how to solve this? : /
Cheers!
Usually you get that error when you try installing a i9100 rom on a phone that is not that the i9100.
Im guessing you have some other version of SGS2. (Any US version, or even the i9100G version, and etc)
Ok, problem solved. I have installed Omega v15 and it works : ) Now I have to unlock my simcard. I've tried Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock, Galaxy S Unlock, Samsung Galaxy S Unlock tool from Play store and they do not work. Do you know any other free sim unlock solutions? : )
hi, i have rooted and flashed various roms on my device, i was using siyah v6. I have recently flashed alienware jellybean rom on the device and it does not get past the first screen. So i have been through the process of rebooting into recovery and found it is running clockwork mod version 4.0.0.2. When i have gone to install zip from sd card the power button does not function i have to use the home button when usually on other versions it is the power button. Once i click on to install zip from sd card it does not load the usual options and says E:cant mount sd card.
Now the other option that i had was to use odin to flash back Siyah on the problem when i do this it is not recognizing the usb device, i have installed drivers, used kies it still does not work tried a different laptop but still no joy. I am running out of options and would be great full if anyone has a solution to this problem as need the phone for work tommorow.
Sorry to tell ya this brother but this is the i777 AT&T galaxy a 2 forum. There's a seperate forum for the i9100. You should try your luck there . Good luck hope you get your issue resolved.

Where did you get those ROMs from?
I brought galaxy s2 from three carrier in UK. Accidently I hard brick my phone and flash firmware from sammobile. Com via odin . Everything is fine in this jellybean stock rom. Now I can't flash any custom rom. It gives status 7 errors. I tried many roms. I updated cmw recovery to latest version by rom manager but still can't flash any. Does other stock rom changes s2 model number. For now it's showing gt i9100.Was it att or tmobile or skyrocket or else when I brought it? Why can't I flash rom? Why there is no twrp available for galaxy s2 this model? Help me guys. God bless you!
I've had that error on kk ROMs when tried to flash from old recovery. If I remember you should have at least 6.0.47 recovery version. Try to flash Gustavo_s kernel,Apollo or doromanx and try to flash again.
When flashing via recovery cwm has a security check that checks the model of your phone to the model of what rom you are flashing . If they do not match It returns status 7 error which prevents from installing wrong rom and hardbricking your phone .
Error can happen when recovery is not updated . A simple fix is to make sure you are on the latest recovery .
TWRP : I think it doesn't have the security check however :
INSTALLING WRONG ROM WILL MOST LIKELY HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE
I am sure you know that already .
There is TWRP for i9100 . There are methods to remove the security check via editing the rom but it is not recommended

Thank you guys for reply. I flash kernel once and it was struck on boot screen. As you said there is twrp available for galaxy s2. I have heard lot of positive vibes about twrp. But in their official website s2 gt I9100 is not listed. It's only for s2 Exhilarate SGH-i577. Is it correct? Any working twrp download link for particular I9100 model? I have heard that twrp are less likely to status 7 errors.
Apparently twrp is not officially supported by i9100 however there are ports by other people . I know because of my last attempt to install cm11 snapshot m8 after flashing gone abit wrong I was getting status 7 error even on my backups .
Try installing (or using kernel) omni-rom . It is available with cwm or twrp kernels ... not sure how it fits with carriers though ...

How did you recover from last brick ? Did you flashed stuff or had the mainboard changed ?
Hey guys I recently installed cm12 on my galaxy s2 i9100 to test it out and didnt like it because its overheating my phone, and I want to change back to cm10 or something similar. When I booted up into recovery mode I get this "CyanogenMod Recovery" and Im like wtf? . I copied my cm10 to the sd card to install it but it just wont work it gives me errors. I want to get rid of cm12 but nothing I try seems to be working.
I either want to remove this cm12 and install that NeatRom for galaxy s2 or downgrade to cm10 or something like that. But with this new cm12 nothing I try seems to be working.
I read somewhere that I just need to flash another custom recovery into the CyanogenMod Recovery but Im just not sure and I want expert advice because I dont want to brick my phone.

CM recovery needs a "signed" .zip to work. Use a newer build of dorimanx kernel from gsstudios or philz kernel, reboot to recovery then flash the rom you want etc. :good:
You can try TWRP+stock kernel by Lysergic Acid. It's signed so it will work on CM Recovery.

Holly **** it worked like a charm, many thanks man :good:
So I have this used Galaxy S3 (I9300, 4.3 android) sitting around, and decided to try and get into custom roms and whatnot
I rooted it through Odin, installed ClockworkMod Recovery and tried to install a aokp rom, but when i try to do so, the recovery tells gives me an error saying "This package is for 'm0, i9300, GT-I9300' devices; this is a 'm3'."
What exactly does this mean? And does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
I think that m3 is i9305. I put some rom port when i9305 tells me that. sorry for the bad translation of google ha!
Well I checked the settings and they said that my device was a i9300, and all the roms I tried were also for i9300...
My guess is you installed cwm for the i9305 s3 by mistake. Download twrp manager from playstore and flash latest 3.0 with the app.
