I am not new to android rooting and flashing and stuff but recently when I tried to make a custom ROM, when I try to flash it I get error.
Installation aborted. Error (status 7)

I know it is caused because of some errors in the META-INF folder but how do I fix this? I tried searching on Google too but all I found was useless posts and good for nothing sites.

Tried customizing a ROM the other day using dsixda's kitchen utility and after I built the ROM and signed it, I tried flashing. It would open the zip file no problem but after a few seconds while hanging on the installing update, it says error flashing update and there's a line stating "(status 0)". My guess is that I have done something wrong when customizing the ROM.
I have a Nexus S with CWM 5.0.2.3. Does anyone know what this error is and if possible help me solve it?
Thanks

I am on 2.3.4 Rooted and Made a Titanium Backup 4.8.2 update.zip and a TitaniumBackup-4.8.2.zip. Tried restoring from cwm (DroidX2 BootStrap) and it also fails with a Error In /sdcard/*.*.zip (STATUS 0). I chose to make seperate zips one to restore as a System app and the other as User app. I noticed the sign option was greyed out in titanium. I assume it is related with the dsixda's kitchen utility not being installed? It may possibly be due to a missing zip signer, which is doubtful I thought that no one could sign x2 zips?
So we are more or less in the same boat. When I searched for the error via google your post was the first link! If you have any update or suggestions please post back!
Im trying to flash Cool ICS v5 and when it gets to Installing SYSTEM Partition I get an error E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0) does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? I would really like to use this rom. I unlocked the bootloader using HTC unlock and then i flashed the boot.img included in Cool-ICS-v5-EvoC.zip.
error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 0
Help some 1 walk me through this mess. Matts download is taking 10 hours to download. Is there an external link I can use>?

you have two options...one is redownload the zip file from a different site or open up the one you have and manually delete that zip file from there and it should bypass and continue on... what it ma do to the rom is on you ... if you extract the package.zip and then open it youll see what files the zip contains...if it contains no files it is likely corrupt and need to download a new rom...what site did you download the ROM from and are you a cdma or gsm model phone?
see im having the same problem i tried the [Cool Sense] Rom and the ZR3D-XL SENSE Rom and TeamGenesisRom3d and it all gave me the Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 0) so i had to install my old rom back MikVirgin Rom. Can it be because im still using twrp recovery and not 4EXT Recovery Control

I've noticed all the people who get that error are using twrp. So I recommend using 4ext.

Hello,
I have the Problem that i can't install any custom rom on my GTab 10.1 P7500.
I'm on stock rom 4.0.4 right now and i tried everything. I want to flash the CM10-nightlies. I tried it with TWRP and CWM.
The error first was "assert failed getprop". I have deleted the first line in updater-script and the error was gone but after that I got the "symlink: some symlinks failed error (status 7) error"
I know that there are some other threads about this issue but with no solution.
Does anyone know what to do here?
Thanks

There are two reasons you'll get the "assert failed". Either the ROM you're trying to install is not meant for your tab (it's for a tab 2 or something else) or you're running an old version of Clockwork Mod recovery. At some point, the GT-P7510 getprop string changed to "p4wifi" but older CWM wasn't giving that as the device name.
First, I'd make VERY sure that the ROM you're trying to install is compatible with your device. Editing the script as you did can brick your device. If you're sure it's OK, update CWM.

Hello,
thanks for the reply.
The ROM I want to install is "cm-10-20121119-NIGHTLY-p4" and it is the right one because the p4 version is for the p7500 GTab 3G.
I have cwm v5.8.3.1. I've downloaded it again and stil getting getprop errors...:crying:
Every custom ROM I try to install I get the same error message...
Does anyone has same issues?
Hey guys.
So, I need some help here... I am trying to flash the PPX Stock V3 rom for Galaxy S3 but I always get the (status 7) error. I tried with another roms and it is the same problem. But I got to flash the ones with aroma installer and it works fine, but I want exactly this PPX Stock rom... I was using the Clockwordmod Touch Recovery and it wasn't working (getting this error) and I've changed to PhilZ Touch and it the problem continues...
Do you have some ideas on what to do?
So, thanks to all.
[EDIT]~
By the way, the problem starts in this line while flashing the .zip
Pure Performance X Firmware
Installing System...
Simlinking...
set_perm: some changes failed
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/[ROM~[XXUGNA7][4.3.1] PPX Stock V3.zip

Make sure u are using the latest version of cmw... Most of the status 7 fails have to do with this.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I am using the most updated... and tried with other recoveries but no sign of progress. And I have read some threads with some possible solutions but still stuck... :/

First of all, I hope that this thread is in the right section. Here's the issue. I'm new to ROM flashing even though i have been an android user for about 2 years now. Used ClockworkMod for my custom backup. Downloaded Randomblame's taKTiK custom ROM but upon installation i get an error message: E: Error in/external_sd/tt-4.4-20140224-Release12-m470.zip.
The ROM flash begins as follows:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
set_metadata_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error in/external_sd/tt-4.4-20140224-Release 12-m470.zip
(Status 7)
What am i doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
