Hello,
I am trying to install a rom on my phone but it's not really working out the way I hoped. I got blockworkmod running on my S3 and I tried to install the carbonROM file for my device. This returned the following message after about 20 seconds of installing:
set_metadata_recursive: some changed failed
E: Error in /external_sd/CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141106-1232-i9305.zip
(status 7)
Instalation aborted.
When I tried to install cyanogenmod to the device it didn't do anything, it just imediately returned to the homescreen on clockworkmod.
What can be the problem here and what should I do to be able to use the phone again with any good ROM?
NOTE: I am very new to this stuff, with installing ROMs and rooting my phone.
bump
*coughs*

Hi guys,
When i use ROM manager to do a backup (for example) it doesn't work.
It reboots, but then i get:
E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
And the backup fails. I can still do it after that of course, but i was wondering why it was doing that (i'm assuming it's trying to install CWM recovery or something)
When i tried CM i didn't have that problem and everything was going smoothly. Is it a bug with cognition or with the user?
Thanks!
Not to be rude but this has been asked numerous times every day. If you look at faqs post it says to not use ROM manager because you will experience what you're currently experiencing. So flash stock start over this time no ROM manager.
Duh, i never realized there was that FAQ thread. *bookmarked* and thanks for answering anyway
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... :/

i think its not compatible with your phone
It's a tablet. The ROM is supposedly built for it. I get a Status 7 error which means that the installed version of CWM is not up to date. Can't find any info on how to update it though.
