Error 7 means:
1) you are trying to flash a custom file via stock recovery, that doesn't work, you can only flash stock zip files via stock recovery.
Or
2) you are trying to flash a stock file via custom recovery, that doesn't work, you can only flash custom files via custom recovery.

Did you flash ClockworkMod Recovery first??
Either download an update.zip with cwm recovery in the development section or use ROM manager to install cwm.
Then use install from zip in cwm and choose your ROM file from your sd card.
Did install the recovery but the update just wont install when I try to install it from the Tom manager.
Sounds like you're trying to flash the wrong thing. You shouldn't be flashing an update.zip, that sounds like the root file. Make sure you are flashing the correct .zip
Sent from my Vibrant running GingerCloneR2
the update.zip file is the root file. Whatever rom your flashing will have that name in on the zip file. Follow these steps:go to clockwork recovery mode, install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, then look for rom name on the zip file(example Bionix v5.zip), click on file, click yes, when it's done installing reboot.

[Q] Flashing stock zip via cwm from CM9

Hi all, thanks for viewing this thread
- I flashed my friend's Bell SGS2 i9100M to CM9 a while back, but now he wants to go back to stock and needs to make use of his warranty because of the battery charging problem even when it's is not plugged in
- I need to flash his phone back to Bell stock firmware UGKG2, but I do not have the necessary firmware (PDA) .tar file to flash back to stock via Odin. I've checked Intratech's thread but multiupload is down so I cannot download the .tar files
- However, I have the stock ROM in .zip file, the kernel, modem and CSC in .tar file
- Unfortunately, I did not make the nandroid backup before flashing CM9 on his phone
- I currently do not have his phone with me, but he will be coming over in a few hours
So my questions are:
1) Is it okay to just flash the stock ROM .zip file via recovery from CM9? (After the standard procedures of wiping system, data, cache, etc.)
2) Will the CM9 kernel recovery flash the stock ROM .zip file? I think it might give some e: (some sdcard) error, I'm guessing... If so, will flashing a custom Gingerbread kernel then flashing the stock ROM .zip file via CWM work?
3) If 1 & 2 don't work, does this mean I absolutely have to flash back to stock via Odin?
I've also got an usb jig prepared
Thanks in advance

Hey,
like u said, the .zip includes .tar files.
.tar files always must flashed via odin!
Only way to to it via phone is using odin on phone, but I'm not up to date how is the status and if it's really working.
So to be sure:
1) make a full wipe (like u said above with formatting system, cache etc.)
2) Put files in Odin and flash
3) Flash cf-root or kernel to get CWM back (if u want)

the .zip file does not have the .tar files, it is CWM flashable; it has the META-INF folder, system folder, zimage, etc.

I think your system is formatted and there is no OS because of the aborted installtion. I had Status 7 error yesterday because my CWM recovery was outdated. Use latest TWRP from teamw.in and install any rom by copying them in yor sdcard. This should do it.

[Q] How to flash .zip files with Odin?

I removed the OS from my N7100 after I messed up with a kernel. Now im trying to reinstall the cyanogen mod but my computer doesnt recognize the phone, and so my only way of flashing anything to the phone is by using Odin, which only accepts .md5 files. I also have Clockworks Mod Recovery but like I said, my computer doesnt recognize my phone as a device
How can I flash cyanogen mod via Odin? When I download it from the official website its not in .md5 format, it's a .zip.

If you can still get into recovery, then just throw a rom on an external SD card and flash from there. You can not flash CM via Odin. If you are unable to flash the rom from the external and your ADB isn't working in recovery (driver issue, most likely) to push to internal then you'd have to flash the stock OS through Odin and redo the steps for recovery and rom install.

So you have tried ADB and pushing a rom over to the internal sdcard?
If you cant do that, then go to sammobile.com and download the latest ics rom and flash it. Then you will be able to download a custom rom and flash that via recovery.
