------------- 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
Recently i was trying to install custom rom "du_n7000_v.7.0_20140411.zip" on to my note GT N7000, initially i got an error saying status 7.
after that i searched for the same error and got a solution, asking to delete couple of lines from the script file after unzipping the zip file.
I deleted the extra lines which were causing the status 7 error, after that i got Verification Error, and none of the 4.4 roms can be installed or ported on to my GT N7000 device.
IF there is any other way than please do let me know.
Thanking in Advance.

Which recovery and version are you using? You need one that has SELinux support for KK roms. Also, it's recommended to also factory reset your phone after installing the rom and gapps for KK roms, according to the Omni thread for N7000.

I am using CWM v6.0.3.3. i also used the advance Touch CWM recovery but still i am not able to install 4.4 roms, 4.3 is not a problem at all, it gets installed without any problems, but when i try to install 4.4 roms it gives error of " Status 7"
Thanking you for your prompt reply. If there is any solution for it than do let me know.
It's definitely your recovery. That version came out in middle of last year and Kit Kat & SELinux being necessary wasn't a thing. You need one of the newest recoveries from CWM, Philz Touch (modded CWM - if you like CWM, you'll probably like Philz better), or TWRP.

I used Philz touch (Advanced Touch CWM) but even after using Philz Touch, i get Status 7 Error and after removing the mentioned files from script i get authentication error. And this error comes for all 4.4 Roms, if i install 4.3 through Philz Touch it gets installed like a charm, so now i really can not understand what exactly is the problem for installing 4.4 roms.

I'm not sure how to be more clear. The version of the recovery you are using is out of date. It's very simple. Update your recovery to something that has support for flashing 4.4 roms. It does not matter that 4.3 roms install fine with that recovery as 4.3 does not equal 4.4 and the install methods have changed somewhat. The only other time you are gonna get the Status 7 errors is when you are trying to install the rom that's built for another phone or version of the phone you are using and the updater-script has an assert to check the build.prop to make sure you install it to the right device. But update your recovery first and go from there.

The only thing i never did was step 1. Ie Wipe Cache Partition.
but without doing step 1, i was able to install all other versions of rom but could not instal 4.4 rom. when i did Wipe Cache Partition, i could install 4.4 Rom without Status 7 Error and also now not getting authentication error.

Ah ok. Well, the factory reset should also wipe the cache too, but it is not uncommon for Samsung's of this vintage to need extra wiping. Dunno why, but have seen it before.

Go here. You can't do better for clear instructions. I used them for CM 12, but I'm sure CM 11 will work also.

thank you,
worked like a charm, loaded cwm 6.0..4.5 and then cm11 and everything is working as it should even the play store.
should have just posted in the first place
been fighting this thing for a week.
I've beeen trying to update the version of android on my old Galaxy Tab 10.1 PT7510 (wifi). I've had some success but hoping someone can help me further.
I didn't take a system back up before I tried this so I've nothing to restore to.....
I have got Odin 3.x working and can successfully use this with the tablet
I've got CWM v5.8.3.1 installed on the tablet and working
I've got:
Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10_1_root.zip (I thought this is the ICS standard version)
AOSP-7.1-p4wifi-2017105.zip (planned upgrade OS) and the equivalent Gapps zip in the sdcard folder
Whenever I try to install the root.zip version the tablet reboots into CWM mode
The AOSP.zip doesn't seem to work
I think this might be because I didn't do something with SuperUser as I didn't understand what to do in the instructions I was following.
I've tried to reflash(?) the bootloader using Odin with the original file but no joy.
I feel close to sorting this but need some help to work out what to do.
Any help greatly appreciated
