I originally followed the CyanogenMOD wiki to root and install cyanogenmod.
I was on CM10.2 then an update to CM11 came out and the update package failed. Something about not being able to install all modules correctly.
I had to flash Cm10.1 stable to get it working again.
Any ideas why CM11 fails?

I recently downloaded most recent verion of Faryaabs SuperNexus ROM for Galaxy S2 I777.
Unfortunetelly, after data wipe and factory reset, during the installation attempt i get an error: "this package is for "i777,SGH-I777,SGH-S959G" devices, this is a SGH-i777" (status 7).
I tried to play with build.prop a bit, but it didn't work. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
Currently I'm running Adnroid 4.2.2 AOKP rom by Task650, with Tasks kernel. I have CWM 6.0.3.2 installed.
-- EDIT --
Fixed it! I needed to flash new CWM Recovery, which i got from http://galaxys2root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/. After upgrading to 6.0.4.3 rom installed without any problems.
be sure to always read the requirements & installation steps. the error you encountered was explicitly noted in OP of the Supernexus thread.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I tried to download SuperNexus Rom but i keep getting "problem loading page" msg. Gapps pkg was no problem, but not the Rom itself. Does anyone know where i can get a copy of it?
Thanx.

honestly, I wouldn't bother. the developer has abandoned the rom and its very buggy and out of date. check out omnirom, cyanogenmod, slimkat, or pacman instead.
------------- 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

please read EVERYTHING on the first post of a rom thread (btw also all other threads):
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get error code 7 when trying to flash ?
A: Because you are using old recovery. Update to the latest TWRP.

latest CWM or philz are working as well.
try to flash one of them (the latest) and reflash the rom.
sorry if this sounds a bit angry, but it's already the second time today that I answer such a question. In future please search first before asking a question
i already got the lastest cwm 6.0.3.2
can you leave me a official firmware 4.3 international please?
i can't find a twrp to flash .need help
any help ? still don't know what to do
For S3 International latest CWM is 6.0.4.3. You can easily install it through Play Store using Rom Manager(but it requires root)
Or you can go to CWM webpage , download the recovery for your model and flash it via Odin.
managed by me ,i installed cm for 4.3 and it runs perfectly ,now i have to download twrm and trying to install omni rom but later

Last I heard, people were having issues flashing with the updated 2.7.0.1 twrp. The error status 7 you are getting is from using a jb recovery and not an updated kk recovery. The recovery that needs to be used is in the OP of PA if you are using brothaedhung's rom.

Ok i will check that and update what about emulated storage?

When you click on the link you will see the name of the zip...ext-sd-efs... Allows the efs to be backed up and fixes the ext-sd/emulated storage issue.
I have been running KitKat ROMs since I got this phone months ago, so naturally I went with the KitKat Ext SD version of TWRP. I decided to try MIUI which was 4.2.2 Jellybean, and I was experiencing the Status 7 messages you are mentioning.
Potential solution:
Install the latest (6.0.4.7) PhilZ Touch Recovery for the E970 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
Once installed you have to force using the update-binary described in this post:

Hi,
i finally rooted my i9100.
SU is also installed.
CWM Revovery 5.8.1.8 is installed.
Everytime i will install CM 12.1 i get the Error 7.
I read that TWRP will fix it.
How can i switch from CWM to TWRP?
There are two ways to get another recovery in general:
- flashing a recovery.zip from current recovery
- flashing a recovery.tar via Odin
As far as I know, Status 7 means incompatible ROM or recovery. Make sure you're flashing a Kitkat-compatible recovery. You can also check out the IsoRec solution by @Lanchon.
