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

XDA the best

Need to flash CWM, then flash kernel dorimanx and then to flash rom
Dorimanx (recommend 5.58)
CWM
Copy Kernel and CWM to sdcard / internal card
Then Reboot, and enter to Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install Cwm via "apply update from external storage" (then reboot)
Enter again in Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install kernel via INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD (reboot)
and try now to flash Rom

[Q] S2G Flashing Custom ROM Not Possible!

Hey guys
I'm trying to flash my S II I9100G with cMIUI, which doesn't work. The phone gets stuck during booting right after the installation. I've been messing around with this problem for a couple of hours by now, been googling a lot and yet I have not found a solution.
What I did in order to flash the ROM:
1) I installed the latest German stock ROM (ICS) using Odin.
2) I followed this tutorial (root using SU-BB-Installer.zip and flash CWM recovery kernel 6.0.1.2 via kTool): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065581 So far everything works fine. I have root access now.
3) Downloaded the cMIUI 2.10.19 zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804619
4) When I tried to flash cMIUI from Recovery and toogle signature verification "on", it told me "signature verification failed". I ignored that message and installed it anyway.
5) Installation ran smoothly. After finishing it, the phone wanted to reboot. It now got stuck in the booting screen. I can not get the ROM booted.
I don't think it's cMIUI-caused, because I tried to flash a clean CM10 and still had the same problem (even though it didn't fail signature verification). Here are some more things I tried:
- installed clean stock ROM via Odin, again. Then followed all above steps exactly as described above, except for using Odin for flashing CWM Recovery instead of kTool
- again, clean stock ROM. After rooting, I then tried to install cMIUI via ROM Manager v5.5.2.3. Unfortunately, ROM Manager doesn't identify CWM recovery and keeps asking me to install the Recovery-System with ROM Manager. When I try that, there apparently "is no official CWM Recovery available" for my model. So, ROM Manager is no option
As described in the following thread, I can not use the ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2 kernel on aosp based ROMs like cMIUI and CM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934 So that probably is the cause of my problem. Can you tell me what kernel I can use, instead? Or is there another way to flash that ROM? Via Odin, for example...
Thanks for your help in advance. Very much appreciated!!
Regards,
Daniel
What Codeworkx is saying in that thread is, that you cannot use that kernel when you are already on a aosp based rom. So you can use that recovery.
Something you didn't mention, did you do a full wipe from within the recovery? If you didn't do that, then thats probably the source of your problems.
1. Flash a stock rom true Odin.
2. Flash the recovery (you don't need to root your rom after)
3. Wipe system/factory reset
4. Wipe cache.
5. Download the rom again to make sure you the download went well.
6. Toggle signature verification off.
7. Flash Miui
8. Reboot and wait.

Thank you so much! Wiping helped. :good: Why didn't I try that before :silly:
Awesome, now I can finally enjoy cMIUI. It's really great! (except for crashing galery/camera app when starting cam from lock screen. but who cares )
Thanks dude! :highfive:

Problem Installing a custom rom

Hi all
I have been trying to root my galaxy s2 GT 19100 so I can install a custom rom for a few days now but I keep getting this error message:
Using JB 4.1.2
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
I have tried doing this with odin 3.07 but for some reason the .zip files aren't showing up when trying to select the rom.
I have the roms in a folder on my desktop /s2 roms in zip format.
I always run odin as admin.
I am running Windows 8.1 and I have already checked folder options to showw all files.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

did you try to flash the rom in a custom recovery like CWM? if not do that. And redownload the custom rom maybe it was a download fault.
And one more thing, that file is not made to flash with odin but in recovery mode :highfive:
Did you have working custom recovery aka cwm before flash custom rom?
Which rom you are running on your phone? Is it Stock Rom?
If Stock rom you have install CWM.
On odin you only update Stock rom (Ex;4.1.2 Stock) thought a file (.tar).
You have looking for CWM 6.x.x .tar and then you can install through Odin.
After install, go to CWM by holding Power + Volume Up + Home and then install zip file

[Q] CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL NiGHTLY - Error status 7

------------- 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

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

[Q] Can't flash wanted ROM and Recovery

Hey everyone. I decided to revive my S2 but I ran into a problem and I can't solve it. I lost count of threads I read and I still don't have an answer. Can someone guide me step by step how to flash CWM and ROM to my SGS2 (i9100)?
At the moment I have stock ROM flashed using Odin since all my tries to flash latest CWM and ROM ended in a bootloop or I didn't even manage to flash anything. If I try to flash CWM through stock Android recovery, it says "Signature verification failed". I flashed Dorimanx kernel using Odin to get the recovery but then I couldn't flash ROM because it said "E: Can't mount sd card". I tried flashing Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have no idea what to do because everytime I think something new, I run into these 2 errors. It would be great to get some help.

I downloaded the kernel from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 but I get this error: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7). Above this, in the yellow font, it says This pacakge is for galaxys2, i9100, GT-I9100, GT-I9100M, GT-I9100P, GT-I9100T, SC-02C', devides: this is a ' '. How can I fix this?

Kernel not just recovery.
I think you need to read the thread before flashing away and possible bricking you're phone.
Rooting and installing cwm is basic stuff. Bricking is common place too.

Do you mean this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/Stock (Download doesn't work) ? I can't find any other links there for the latest version.
I'm not really scared of bricking my phone since I won't use it without flashing it correctly anyway. I have flashed it few times successfully in the past but now I can;t do this and it's really annoying. I flashed my friend's phone without any problems but I can't do that for myself.
