Wasn't this error related to having an older version of CWM?

Yeah, try updating your CWM or consider switching to TWRP.

I wiped cache, delvik, formated system, and then when I tried to install the ZIP. I get error 7 and it aborts. My phone is stock but rooted. I flashed my phone with odin for stock, not sure which verison of stock im using. I think the latest one.
Update your CWM to 5.8 or 6 or install TWRP and your error 7 will go away.

Have tried flashing via recovery with no luck I end up getting stuck on white htc screen then tried through ROM manager and no luck I got the 7.2 release from cm website not sure what went wrong I'm rooted on android 2.3.4 and was not on any other ROM before trying this.

Might be better off with goo manager and installing twrp. Also when you have an issue, give as much detail so people can be more helpful

Trying Goo manager although when I try to load twrp it forces close, someone help me I want to ROM this up. I'm rooted and have clockwork but have no luck flashing
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Check the md5 sum and see if it matches up, or if ur lazy re-download the rom, just make sure its for incredible 2. It could be a bad download. Also I believe you have to flash the kernel after the rom as well
Sent from my Incredibly still working
Okay some help here I know it was right ROM, how do I get right kernal ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Roms have the kernel included no reason to flash different kernel unless you are wanting to change clock settings or voltages or fix problems such as volumes.

Thank you, okay so can anyone link me with a ROM reliable one ?

ClockworkMod is the recovery I started out with, it should work just fine and will not affect flashing a ROM. After a few weeks I switched over to 4ext recovery. But I would get a little more familiar before jumping around to much. Have you successfully flashed a custom rom yet? One other thing you may check is the radio version, I recommend upgrading to the .312 or .320 radio.
Not on this phone done rooting on nook color and my first Android so I need to flash a radio and a ROM ?

Download condemned cm.7.2 on your PC and put it in the root of your SD card. I hope you made a backup of your old ROM before you tried this seeing as you're not booting atm

Haha of course I made a backup and I'll try that

I haven't seen this answered (or I'm blind)...Are you S-Off, or HTC Unlocked?
I am s off help me
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Okay sorry correction I am only unlocked do I need to s off ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Now everything makes more sense...The preferred method for flashing roms here is s-off. It can be done without. I believe the method involves extracting the boot.img from a rom then after flashing the rom, flash the boot.img with fast boot. I haven't done it, so I can't give you better details on that, however it is covered at length in many of the rom threads, so I think a search for "boot.img" should get you on your way quickly. You'll probably want to search with the desktop version of xda.
Edit: However, I think the consensus is that getting s-off isn't terribly hard and saves a lot of headache down the road, so I would recommend that. Again, there are threads with all the info you need.
Thank you, looked at s off method and going to try that tonight then I should be churning through Roms thank you !

No problem. I do have one more suggestion. When you are s-off and comfortable with things, find the twrp thread in development. It's my opinion, and I can't say I've tried all the options, but twrp is way easier to use than the normal CWM. There are other options you could consider; 4ext and CWM touch. It's all about the research around here.
On my latest try flashing cm 7.1 acquired through ROM manager I had it backup my current ROM and wipe data, those processes worked fine although when trying to flash the rom it displayed and error message regarding the file downloaded and aborted the install, what can I do here ?
Note I am using Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4

Noob problem
Every time I try to flahs a new rom i get errors.
in wipe and install its getting (E:Unable to mount '/efs')
Now i switched from CWM recovery to TWRP for the reason that their latest update gave me to much trouble and ive been flashing roms on my sgs2 since gingerbread..
I'm not trying to cause problems just trying to get a fix on the situation.
I can always restore back to my last backup but im a flashaholic and sucks that im stuck on the same rom for so long
please help and its ok if i get flamed as long as i get a solution
From the top of my head, I would suggest to downgrade
the TWRP to ver. 2.2.2.0
Try that and see how it goes.
Good luck!

Have you tried a different download? Try using a different browser to dl and flash again. Or you could try using an older version of TWRP if the newer one isn't working well on your phone.

If you're running stock, MDL blocks root access. Flash any of the custom kernels to get around the restriction and try updating again.

If you are on TWRP you are not still on stock recovery which should mean that you can install SuperSU from within TWRP.
