Puted up my apps in system and added my battery icon to systemUI.apk. and tryed again. the same thing. I tryed singing that zip adn again. I downloaded it again and didnt touch it. I puted on sdcard with usb.Same thing. I tryed using AirDroid. It worked. I tryed the modified be me zip with AirDroid and it didnt worked. I had always firs mod the roms and then flash and it has been working with usb and with AirDroid. What the *** is happening
i dont think you can jump from 4.1.1 back to 4.0.4 via CWM . use flashtool to flash back to a 4.0.4 then flash custom kernel and get back to JJ's ...

Well It worked from me flashing to and from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 thru cwm..
@Tapa try another rom.. better try flashing jj's official 4.0.4 first.. usually the zip bad errors come when the rom zip is corrupted or incomplete or there is some problem ?update script may be.. so try official 4.0.4first and see before panicking
Guys it was a mediafire error. I downloaded again and it worked. Anyway. When u flash cm10 you flash kernel and rom. so if you flash ics based rom and kernel everything is fine. No need to flash ftf.

ok so when i was trying out a custom GB Rom which requires flashing of stock GB,i forgot to flash the stock and flashed the custom GB straight from my ICS 4.0.4. it got bricked and i used the sony update service[not pc companion,in case you don't know] to fix the brick and it returned to stock ICS 4.0.4 . After that,i have forgotten that stock ICS does not have root access. so i went to flash other custom ICS ROM straight away cause i'm used to flashing different custom ROM and now it stuck at CWM. Now it has been officially bricked,the only thing i can access is CWM. what can i do now?? i've tried sony update service and it says i have the latest stuff and i also can't flash any rom since i have no root access and i also can't flash stock ftf file since usb debugging and stuffs are required to flash stock. so what can i do now??
thanks in advance
PS: I've tried using the file called Unbricking xperia 2011 as well,doesn't work
Edit: got it back,i flashed 2.3.4 ftf. i guess the previous ftf i flashed was corrupted
flash a 4.0.4 FTF file using flashtool

It could be a corrupted download, try to re-download and copy to your sdcard. and also do a full wipe(if i'm correct, you coming from 4.1) and follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806401
hope it helps
Already tried redownloading but no luck.
I guess the only thing left is to flash Stock ICS rom via Odin PC, which I hate, and than rooting and flashing the new rom.
Any suggestions?
Ok, I also tried flashing other Custom ROM like SuperNexus, and an older version of RootBox, but still having the same problem. I think this problem might have to do with either the ROM or the jeboo_kernel I am using in this WanamLite ROM (Stock JB XLSJ Leak).
I guess PC Odin is my only hope now.
Flash dorimanx kernel and then flash roms.
And for one time USE SEARCH it created about 50 threads about status 7

Hello, I've been trying to flash the Australia JB rom,
SPYDERIRD_U.01.6.7.3-94_SPI-328_04.11.01P_0A.74_AUSTRALIA_NZ_CFC_HWp2b_SIGNED.xml.zip,
onto my Asia razr running on ICS.
I want to leave my current ICS as system 1 and flash the Au rom onto system 2, but I keep getting this error.
Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Here is what I did:
1.download 4.1.2 kernel and ROM zip file
2.Boot to BMM recovery
3.backup CID and Kernel
4.Flash 4.1.2 kernel , wipe cache
5."install a zip package"
then installation aborted.
Is is not possible to flash stock ROMs onto system2, but only custom ROMs?
If the only way to flash AU rom is onto system1, how would I be able to backup and restore my current ICS? ( Can I even go back to ICS after flashing JB?)
What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you all :good::good:

1. YOU CANNOT FLASH A OFFICIAL STOCK ROM ONTO SLOTS USING BMM OR ANY RECOVERY - You need to flash in AP fastboot using Flash-it or RSD lite.
2. When you have ICS in stock , you are telling its Asian - try to flash only EU JB roms - here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192532 ( Remeber you need to flash EU ICS ROM before updating the OTA as you are in en.Asia- follow the instructions )
3. Since JB is a update over ICS , you cannot go back to ICS as there is no firmware file for this JB ( remember this is an update)

Hi SAJdroid
I ended up flashing a modified JB rom onto system 2 with BMM because I might need to go back to ICS if JB is buggy.
Thank you for answering my questions.:good:

Golden Rule for first time flashers :
1. Backup your system - Nandroid backup
2. Download the fastboot files and keep it ready in your PC with RSD lite - When you brick your phone you dont have much time to flash your system as the battery charging may not work. link : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ * you will never know how much battery you will be left with if you accidentally brick your phone*
3. If you are afraid you might screw up while flashing a ROM , use Safe Strap instead of BMM ( uninstal BMM before you proceed) - here no matter what you do your stock ICS will be safe ans you wont be able to flash anything over your stock slot . - Most of the ROM's are supported by Safe Strap.
I have bricked my phone so many times but still enjoy flashing - so dont be afraid to try those awesome ROM's and tweaks to feel the real power of your Razr.
------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works
i am using:
xperia mini st15i
2.3.4 gingerbread
4.0.2.A.0.42
yes it is rooted
yes bootloader unlocked
//////////////////////////////////////////////
spent my last 8 hours for upgrading it to jelly bean 4.1.2 but couldnt make it.
i did the cwm recovery (its version was 5.0.2.6), rom manager, cyanogen10 ROM.zip (smultron, pyramid ive tried both), gapps.zip things etc
but got beaten everytime by "status 7 installation aborted" error while installing those zips from sd card. (yea did the wipe cache etc things)
and yea ive edited updater-script.txt (deleted "assert" lines till "mount" line) etc.
none of em worked. im clueless now.
i dont know what im doing wrong. i gave you all my informations above so i hope someone can help me.
jb 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 doesnt matter. i will be ok with all of em.
please respond asap.

Okay. I think you missed the kernel install. And its better you upgrade to ics before installin JB
So steps to do:
1. Install ics by using flashtool.
2. Download jb rom & gapps and place on sd card.i would recommend yo Legacy Xperia rom, there is a very good usable 4.2.2 jb stable of it :good:
3. Flash the kernel from inside of the zip via flashtool or cmd.
Boot to recovery.
Do a factory reset/wipe data.
Install rom.zip & gapps. Then boot.
Enjoy true greatness
Good luck
Btw, theres NO need to edit the updater script. it shows you the status 7 error bcuz u missed to install the kernel from zip
done. thanks a lot.
