[Q] BIG Error installing new JB rom, please HELP - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running albinoman's AOSP JB Rom for a while now.
However, when upgrading from RC2 to RC3, I receive an error pretty early in the installation.
Installing AOSP Android 4.1.1
Creating symlinks
Setting permissions
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/jellbeanrc3/Jellybean-Inc-RC3.zip
(Status 7)
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I've been installing roms for a long time, and haven't run into this problem until now.
Tried the installation several times, and always run into the same problem. The error makes it impossible to boot, so I have restore my RC2 backup.
I really want to run this, and it's been the cause of quite a bit of frustration this past week. Thanks for your time.

Did you re download and check md5?

I re downloaded twice. And I thought it always checked md5, it's at least never had a problem when it did..

Install from twrp cwm is a broken recovery
Sent from my ADR6300 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

Status 7 usually means there is a problem with the updater script in the rom file. What recovery are you using? Try TWRP if thats not what your using. Either the rom developer made an error in the rom zip, or the file is getting corrupted during download.
Also the md5 is not automaticly checked, you must check it your self.

Thanks very much for your assistance fellas. Unfortunately, I have an entirely new problem on mis manos.
So, after the most recent failure of the rom to install, I restored my backup of my RC2 rom.
It wouldn't get past the nexus boot animation. (I waited for 15+ minutes, I don't know why) So I
went back to recovery, and attempted to install RC3 again.
No problems installing. When I booted up however, after it had notified me that it was "Finishing installation" and that Android was "upgrading"
I was met with a plethora of errors. android.process.acore has stopped etc.
So, I ended up doing a factory reset/wiped user data.
The reinstallation of RC2 as well as the upgrade to RC3 went off without a hitch. So thanks guys, but I did something I didn't want to do, and it worked out in the end.:good:

Depends on how you get it. If downloaded from the Goo Manager app, the app auto checks md5.

[Q] CM9 A2 Can't install gapps

I got CM9 to install just fine. Went to install gapps in CWM, the same way that I instally CM9, and I got a sigature verification failed error. If I turn off signature verification the installation "completes" but upon booting back into CM9 nothing has been installed.
I checked the md5 of the recommended gapps pack and it was fine. I also tried the most recent gapps pack (02/07) and got the same result.

Grab the most recent Gapps from the CM9 Epic-MTD site. It says signed in the file name. Reflash CM9 Alpha 2 and flash the gapps immediately before rebooting.

Maybe a bad download as well maybe you dropped a packet or 2 when you downloaded it. Try a different one again match the MD5sum again put it on your SDcard then re-flash it clear your caches as well. Hope this might help out. If not post back
maybe this can help yah out

I know they speak of other phones in that thread but maybe it can lead you in the right direction.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm beginning to think it's something wrong with CWM. I tried reinstalling the CM9 rom and it "completed" in about 10 seconds.

Yeah, sounds like a trip back through the Halls of Asgard is needed.
Unfortunately for me neither of my computers will recoginize my phone regardless of any combination of cable, driver, and USB port used.

[Q] Cant install roms

I use ClockWorkMod on an HTC EVO 4G ( Rolls Eyes ),
I have been trying to install a more customized rom on my Evo and I cannot seem to do it.
-I'm Not New To Android Or Linux-
But I sometimes get a Status 7 Error or a " BAD " Error and cannot install any rom.
ANY IDEAS?!

What rom are you installing? A status 7 error only occurs when there are problems with the updater-script, and i dont think any dev would release a rom with a faulty updater script
Check the md5sum of your downloaded file, and download over a hardline and transfer to your phone if needed because it may just be a bad download that corrupted your the updater-script
Also try flashing other roms, and what version of CWM are you using? Try smelkus-mod recovery

Rom: I've been trying a few, they never really work at all.
I have tried flashing others.

Switch over to smelkus-mod and see if that fixes it
Did you check the md5sums and they line up?
The problem is in your opening sentence; Clockwork Mod. Read my guide in my signature. It'll tell you all you need to know
From the Hip-Phone
The Status 7 Error is not a script error either. It is an error installing the boot.img. This has become an ever more popular error on the evo. If you check you recovery log it will show everything installed fine until it got to the boot.img install and then it errors out. So please lets stop calling it something it is not.

It means that something went wrong with the updater-script, not necessarily that something is an error in the script itself, no ones calling it something that its not

[Q] Installing CM 10.1.0 "Installation aborted" with no error

Hello,
I got this problem trying to install RC4 and RC5 as well, but now still getting it with the fresh CM10.1.0 update. I am running CWM 6.0.3.1 and tried updating CM but got the status 7 error due to the asserts. I checked md5 just to be sure and made sure I have proper d2att file for my phone. I went in and manually removed the 2 assert lines in the beginning of the updater-script file and zipped back up and tried to flash again but now I just get "installation aborted..." right after "installing update..." with no explanation or error at all.
I tried searching, got nothing, anybody seen this before?
Thanks,
J

I have tried running the zip manually from recovery mode in CWM, tried installing it from Rom Manager where it reboots and automatically selects it and I have tried directly from the CM10 update button within the About Phone settings menu.
Is that what you are referring to?
No. Have you installed the jelly bean bootloader? If not, you will need to update them before cm, or any aosp based Rom, will install.
Also, you need the latest modem too.

I do not follow, what is the jelly bean bootloader? I understood it to be an alternative to CWM? Why have I been able to flash every update for CM10 until this?
Link to this jelly bean bootloader update?
Bootloaders are not a type of recovery. Perhaps you should read through this:

I have the same problem. Guess I'll never get 10.1, because it looks like you have to put a new bootloader on it, not sure why, and it risks a hard brick. It doesn't make any sense to require a new bootloader, seeing as I already have cyanogenmod 10, but the devs chose that for their reasons. I really want the camera in 4.2.
Well, if you've flashed any of the stock ROMS here, rooted or not rooted, you've flashed bootloaders.
well I guess I am confused. I am currently running cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M3.zip with the same bootloader I flashed with Odin back when I got the phone in september 2012. My roomate got the same phone except on sprint and we flashed his with the appropriate CM10.1 experimental release for the sprint phone. Since then we both have been updating via the built in CM updater and he has been able to go to the new stable CM 10.1.0 release today and has not flashed any new boot loader or anything, just updated CWM like I did.
So my question to you mrhaley30705, which no amount of searching or reading links has helped me thus far, is this something specific to the ATT version of the Galaxy S3? I do not understand what changed and why he can do it and I cannot.
More importantly, will flashing the newer boot loader you suggested require a wipe of everything? The only post actually referencing this for my phone is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503727 and it is vague to say the least.
Your answers are much appreciated.
Here is the screen shot of what was posted on g+ by cm. I would say he is on the new bootloader. If you check the second link I posted above, there's a way to tell which bootloader you and your buddy have.
It doesn't wipe anything. You'll probably never notice the difference, with the exception of being able to run aosp based ROMS
thank you, that is informative, but still leaves me confused since I am running 4.2.2 (although the build is before that May release) and I am currently running I747UCLH9.
Checking my roomate's phone he is running XXXXXXLJ7 so either he started with a newer one or something. I guess that clears it up. Also, this thread was very helpful incase anybody searches and stumbles on my posts: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/73407-how-to-update-bootloader-and-do-i-need-to-do-this/

Unable to Install new roms in TWRP

Hello everyone. I tried to wipe my kindle and replace the rom last night but its not letting me install anything. I have been running a version of Smoothrom for months now without any issues. I am giving the kindle to my gf so I wiped it and tried to upgrade to a kitkat rom first. I did a complete wipe of everything then loaded the roms on via usb. Now, when I try to install a new rom I get an error which Ill post below. I am using TWRP 2.5.0.0. I tried loading several different 4.4 roms and they all get the same error:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/AmazonHfk2.8-20131220-Stable-otter.zip
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/AmazonHfk2.8-20131220-Stable-otter.zip
Updating partition details.......
It stays like that. If I try to reset it I get a message saying "Root permissions appear to be lost, fix root permissions now?"
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
SOLVED: I tried a few different Roms and it seems like its just the 4.4 roms that are failing. Im assuming its just my version of TWRP so ill try to update it. Feel free to delete this thread. Sorry for clogging up the forum.

[Q] Problem installing ROM

I'm trying to install Liquid Smooth's latest 3.1 build on my phone , and i keep getting an error every time i try
I have had problems with other 4.4 ROMs(i can install 4.3 ROMs like LS v2.37), and it keeps happening
I've been doing this for three years, so I'm not that much of a newbie, I'm just not used to errors and complicated things
The Log in TWRP says :

set_metadeta_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error in /external_sdcard/LS-KK-v3.1-OFFICIAL-
(Status 7)
Error flashing zip '/external_sdcard/LS-KK-v3.1-OFFICIAL-
Updating Partition details
FAILED​
Does anyone know what's wrong ?
Im going to be gone until about 5pm EST, so thanks in advance
Update TWRP. Also after you wipe, but before flashing the rom, reboot back into recovery. Say No to fixing SU when you do. Then try and flash the rom.

Thanks dude, i never knew you had to update twrp, its probably because everytime i have a phone it doesn't last over 6 months, but the note 2 has been through alot, and its durable compared to my other phones
Permissions have to be set in a different way in 4.4.x ROM's. Commands like "set_metadeta_recursive" need updated binary which is included in updated TWRP and CWM recoveries.
