OK Rogue is a derivative of Clockwork and with that said before you rooted you should of done some more research. What you should do is look for calkulins format all zip and flash it then flash the rom again. Also download another version of the rom just incase you have a corrupted zip.
Lastly try not to do anything else until you do some more research.... Quite a few stickys that can help you....

[Q] Status 7 CWM error when flashing cm9 on SS Galaxy S2 e4gt D710 EL29

Hey everyone, I have what I honestly feel is a really odd scenario. I have spend hours and hours troubleshooting forums and trying to get this all figured out.
My problem is this: I can't get CWM to flash cm9 to save my life. I even tried getting it to flash Hydra but that also didn't work. I keep getting the error: status 7
I realize quite a few people have gotten this. But using all of the fixes I can find hasn't helped.
I have CWM v. 5.0.2.7 on my phone.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. D710. EL29.
I've seen from the cm9 dev that cm9 should work on EL29, however he also says from what I understand that you have to run a EL26 version of CWM through Odin but from other things I've seen, you stick to the EL you have and don't vary or risk bricking your device.
So, do I need to flash another kernel? (I have specifically: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097)
I just need a kernel + ROM combo that will work. My phone is rooted and I cleared out everything with CWM before trying to flash. I'm stumped. and most of the help I can find is for i9000 international versions of the phone.
So if someone could help me find a version of cm9, CWM, kernel, etc downloads that will work, I'd appreciate it. Because from what I understand, I have the right ones but obviously something is off. Thanks.
What else is it saying besides status 7 error?

If its the assert build.prop error or something along those lines, in recovery , flash a stock rom like calks 3.0 rom (no need to boot into rom, just reboot back into recovery under advanced menu) then flash calks format all and then you will be able to flash cm9+gapps. At least I think so lol. Let me know if it works.

You have to flash threw the el26 recovery.... I'll post the Odin I use and file to flash. As soon as I get home
It has a small paragraph of things. build.prop error is part of it. I've read that the status 7 error means it's not compatible with the device you're trying to run. But I also tried flashing HyDrA and that gave the same error.
I've tried to get the EL26 recovery on my device but Odin won't allow it. I think it's because I have EL29. I'm not sure.
I'm going to try flashing calks 3.0 ROM. Seems like it could work if I don't get an error when trying to flash it.

The error Odin gives me when trying to get CWM5 on the device is:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid
<OSM> E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM.tar.md5 is invalid.
<OSM> End...
Go to the kernel repository stick in dev section. Find and download the el26 cwm kernel, its the first kernel listed. Odin that using PDA slot with only auto reboot checked in settings. From there boot into recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik only. Then flash just rom of choice. If you still get errors, then I'm kind of lost.

slick_rick, you are the man!! I actually had tried to use odin to flash el26 cwm before. For whatever reason, Odin would not allow me to use a single one even though they all have pretty much the same el26_stockCWM.tar.md5. I went to the kernel repository and got that one and while I have no idea why that one worked and the others didn't, it did. Haha. I really appreciate all of your help!! You're a life saver! cm9 is up and running just fine.
Here you go .. hope it helps

I myself have had more than a few moments where I went from an Über-High floating on a cloud of childlike excitement and Giddiness as I Flash my newly acquired ROM the latest ICS leak..... only to rocket to the ground and explode into a Fiery, and Painfully loud string of Sailor friendly Expletives and Cartoon Punctuation -
"G#D [email protected]!t F!#king piece of Sh#T!!!" "WTF!?" You Filthy 2bit Wh%r3 - You Tiny Brained Wiper of other Peoples Bottoms! F#$k YOU ..... Your Mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries " ....andy finally a sigh and muffled "DAMMIT....." ​-as the FLASH repeatedly fails to complete, leaving only one clue as to the cause
... the ever cryptic "Status 7" failure code.
Well I believe I have the answer Folks, I have not seen the message for quite a while now .... a couple of minis a "Goodness or two, 2 or 3 Calks and at least 3 builds of CM9, one Nocturnal venum and Countless Modems and a Kernels in a pear tree ....... ready for it .... your very own
"Sir, ...Is it plugged in?" --- OF COURSE IT IS, WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR, I am........um So Sorry to have bothered you.. it seems to be working now ...click..."​
moment. Test the archive before you flash ....not just the one you downloaded, but the one you moved to your SDCARD .... use winrar or 7zip and connect to your PC right click on the File and Test Archive.
if you follow the Devs instructions and are sure to Test your Zip or Tar or SFx file before you are in recovery .....No Status 7 messages.
would be nice if CWM or ACS or any of the recoveries offered a MD5 Check like MobileOdin prior to flashing ..... anyhow sorry for the Rant hope this helps.

I have the same exact problem, have EL29, flashed EL29+CWM+Rogue. Have not been able to flash CM10 or the AOSP 4.1.1 Alpha 5 rom.
Use the el26 kernel. If you are already rooted you can use mobile Odin to flash the .tar format of that kernel. You shouldn't use the rogue recovery. El26 with cwm5 is the kernel you want. I believe its in the original development section of this forum. Look for the post by chris41g. That is by far the best and safest kernel to flash anything from. Happy flashing

[q][bricked] help!

Ok guys, so I have an issue... After installing the latest TWRP for the Glide, I found that I couldn't flash a new ROM or zip file. I kept getting a bad zip error, even though it matches the exact size of the one downloaded from the PC.
My main question is, can I flash a new ROM through ODIN?
I know its a last ditch effort, but I'm sitting here looking at my semi-restores\d phone hang on the Cyanogen Mod boot screen.
Anyways, please help me guys, I seriously messed up somewhere.
PS. It won't allow me to flash CWM on my phone, keeps giving me Bad Zip error
Flash CWM in Odin.
Thanks, that worked. Still got a few issues that I need to figure out

S4 seems to be getting stuick on bootup of ROM & other issues

Hello and thanks to all those before me who give great advice on troubleshooting....
Here's my situation:
Phone is Rooted.
I downloaded an app a few days ago from the Play Store, so I could move my app installs to the sdcard. When i installed the app it said that there was something wrong " can't remember the exact message " and it needed to fix it. My dumbass allowed it to fix it and here is where my problems began.
Right after that I began receiving a message "Shell has been granted Super User", phone began to run sluggish and the Play Store App would always say it was crashing.
So I figured, screw it I would format and start w/a new ROM anyway.... I did not have any sort of backup (of course dumbass)
However I loaded up the latest version of Odin 3.09 and just incase I installed the root.zip again incase that was destroyed. Then I installed the latest version of OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 ( Previously I had TWRP )
I downloaded a few different roms so I could see what I wanted...However...here's where things get interesting, and I did do some research on it but couldn't find a way to resolve the 1st problem.
When I first started to install a ROM, don't remember which one I was getting a signature verification failed....I had read that it could be 2 things, one the MD5 was bad, I verified that, so that wasn't the issue. Then I came across that it may have been a ROM that my device(Samsung) somehow knew wasn't approved, therefore prevented it from being installed....OK fine...
Next I found a ROM that was going to work via installing...So i picked the CM10.2 and wiped/format/davik/cache...etc... Installation took a few mins...Then when I rebooted, it's been on the Cyangenmod screen for 45 mins +....
Is there anyway I can do some verification that something further isn't interfering w/my installs?
Thanks in advance and any guidance is GREATLY appreciated...
Regards
Erik

Actually I tried that and I used this one from stockroms.net TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131.zip
the verification failed immediately, however, when I checked it w/the MD5 hash on my computer it checks out...That's where I'm wondering if there is something else going on...
Or are you talking about something else regarding stock? If so could you clarify...Thanks
Use sam mobile.com
And flash the mdl fw from there. Also you may have to unzip the original file to get a tar file
