[Q] Installation Aborted (Status 7) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends. Sure there are some post on this subject but after more searching I find my solution. The fact is that in the ClockWorkMod Recovery after doing the 'wipes' I am about to install add the zip of the rom and I get "Installation Aborted (Status 7)'.
The last two or three times I've tried to get CM11 Nightly ROM Kit Kat has given me this error.
Please help me because I have really wanted to have in my terminal Kit Kat.
I hope to end up with CM 11 on my I9300 together.
Thank you in advance.
And advance if anyone asks me questions:
- Failure of the ROM not think it's because I've downloaded more than once.
- I try to install with ClockWorkMod recovery (the latest version that comes on your website)
And I think I can add little more.

Status 7 error means wrong device, old recovery or different than excepted partition layout. Flashing latest CWM or TWRP should resolve this issue. Of course if cm11 installer you downloaded is strictly dedicated to your device.

First, what is your CMW version? You will need to download TWRP 2.8.4.0 from the Original Development section and try again.

[Q] Unable to install CM (Signature error)

SGS3 i9300 GSM rooted with Superuser.
I'm trying to install CM 10 but keep getting errors; "E: Failed to verify whole file signature" and "E: signature verification failed" in nice red letters.
I used the Unified toolkit by mskip, and got the "You hacked it!" msg, so I'm rooted as far as I know. Haven't tried any other roms before this one, but had the same error with another nightly CM 10 I downloaded.
Sure I'm doing something stupid - any help appreciated. Be gentle - my last Android device was a HTC Hero....
Any help appreciated.
Sounds like you are trying to flash from stock recovery, you need to install custom recovery

Sounds like a plan ... how do I install custom recovery? Sorry, verified noob here - is it under root options on the toolkit?
Here you go, you need the Odin version read thoroughly and install and you will be good to go

[Q] questions regarding: [ROM][AOSP][4.4.2][KOT49H] SuperNexus 4.0 - I777

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.

[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
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

Samsung Note GT N7000

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.

[Q] CM11 + Clockwork, how to?

Hello,
I'm trying to install CM11 on my s5830i, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-11-0-androidarmv6-t2805309/page30
If I use ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 and I try to install latest stable from here http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/cooperve/stable/ as reported in the dev topic, I get an error status 7 and the installation of CM11 is aborted.
Is the Clockworkmod version I'm using wrong? What should I do?
Thank you.
@EveryWay, We did help some fellows with status 7 errors and other problems which was involved MTD compatible CWM ,, just read the last few pages from this open discussion topic . If problem persisted, ask where i direct you ,,, help will be there soon

Thank you for your answer. I've read the last few pages, but I can't see any solution to my problem. If I understand corretcly they talk about CWM v6.0.5.2, but I can't find it for my smartphone. I can see only the version for the Galaxy Y, which is not my smartphone!
Can you link the right Recovery and the right CM11 I have to install, so I don't get that status 7 error, please? As not said, maybe I've found it, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54368918&postcount=308. I'm going to try.
Thanks again.
Now I've succesfully installed CM11, but at the boot I get a black screen. Any idea?
@EveryWay, let me rephrase my comments : Read the first page of the given discussion links regarding the OP statement update about MTD-build update installation., Read last few pages , my comment and "NightRaven49" ignore the rest , and by all means do not flash other device's base band into your device.
Don't have time for a bit of reading , do the following instructions > flash your older temporary CWM (5.0.2.6/8) through your stock recovery , then when you are in CWM environment, simply install the new CWM6+ compatible which supports lasted MTD-CM11 nightly build, flash it and go to advanced menu / select reboot to recovery to be directed into new cwm6+ , do your a data/wipe thing , go to mount options > format /system, at the end flash your new rom through the main menu .
