[Q] Cant install roms - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
5.0.2.2 ( Unless I forgot )

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] Rom Manager Sux Now???

Hey i need a different recovery than rom manager all i get now is error messages when flashing new roms something about it being updated to 3.0 gingerbread and i dont understand then it says flashing aborted??? wtf does that mean??? I never had a problem before. Im thinking of getting a different phone so i can start fresh and not install that stupid program. Why update a perfectly good program to the point of not even being able to use it?? Someone save me im going crazy. If anyone has a link to a different recovery or an older rom manager version plzzz hook me up with it.
What version of CWM are you on. I'm assuming 3.0.0.5 ........
It sounds like you are most likely using the new RM (3.x) with an old recovery (2.x)
For more info on the changes to recovery:
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]Clockworkmod 3 series
That will also explain why you are seeing certain scripts fail.
If you want to update your recovery, in RM go to your settings and check off "erase recovery." Then in the main screen again, scroll down to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and choose 3.0.0.8

That would be a massive overreaction to a very fixable problem. Also, it doesn't matter what phone you are using: to use RM's functionality, you have to be using a compatible version of recovery.

The link I provided above will fill you in.
Sounds like youre trying to flash a zip not using edify...ask the developer to update to 3.x, i also never use rm to flash roms, and i advise you to go into recovery manually. 2.x is going to be obsolete if it technically isnt already. So eventually well only b using 3.x

[Q] (Status 7) WildChild 2.0 Flashing Problem

Hello,
I just wondering if why i got this error on flashing the new update for WC...
Im using CWM revcovery 5...6..??
this is the error message;
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img". "boot")
E;Error in /sdcard/HTCRoms/Roms/WC1.5-Full-Odex.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
:C.. Please Help.. Many Thanks!
Try downloading the rom again....then flash it
If that doesnt work, try a different recovery(TWRP touch or RZR recovery)
I redownload the rom now its WC2.0 .... Still same Error (Status 7)...
I'm using a Marvel version of the Rom...
Edit: Try TWRP as a alternate recovery... Still no Luck.. same Error of Status 7... i wonder why but before i always reflash the version 1.1 and no problems but when the 1.6 is release (and tried 2.0) now it show up...
Now im stuck on CM7 03-24-12. with BT-fix alpha... :C
Maybe i could try CWM 5.0.2.8 coz i use alquez's MOD 5.0.2.6...
P.S. i only find a .IMG version is there a .ZIP version of it?? Many Thanks!
Thank you Mr. cSoulr666 i wont lose hope..
if you are on CM7....use the IMG file to flash CWM....First rename the file to a simpler name, e.g- "recovery.img"
Put the IMG file in the root(no folders) and then open terminal emulator and type the following commands
First, type "su" (without quotes) for root permissions
Then "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"
And presto!!! The img file will be flashed
Here you go

Nope i didnt have a custom recovery back then.All i did was put this file into my sd card.Open the bootloader.It automatically installed the recovery within the zip file.

Tried to install on my HTC Wildfire S all WilChild mods (tried full and light, odex and de-odex) - roms installed succesfully but after I pass startup wizard I get error that Nemus app got an exception and asked me to close it.
Is there any fix of this.
Hense Mod works fine so not sure that it's problem on my side (but maybe, I only can confirm that each time I installed mod after full wipe)

I'm working on a full Sense version of WildChild (due to request) so that might be a bit more stable for you.
The odex version of WildChild uses some funky install routines that I may abandon on future release. The funny thing is that only a very tiny portion of users are experiencing the fc problem (something like 1%!) so I'm not entirely convinced it's a ROM issue, but I'll see what I can do to add more stability. Stay tuned.
The Sense ROM is nearly finished...

Woooo!! cant w8 for that!!! :d
Sir tigger.. Maybe some user experience status 7 because of the size of Boot.img... i just guessing cause im using ur rom right now but i overwrite the boot.img using one form the Hensemod... 3.5mb?? vs. 2.7mb?? i dunno maybe some WFS user got a limitation for that... that way i got rid of that status 7....
about the Sense version of WC.. could take a look of this:

Maybe you could ask the guy who made it and put it on the sense rom.. (just hoping...) But i'll surely use it after u finish the sense version.. Godbless...

Try redownloading the d2att zip, just in case of a bad download. Still have the problem, switch out your recovery for TWRP. There's a verification problem happening.
still get it with TWRP

Well the number one thing I see is there is no such thing as "rp.product.device" should be "ro.product.device" this may be causing your trouble, check your build prob in root explorer.

Does is say d2att under that? I really do not know beyond an incorrect build being flashed.. if all else fails go back to stock.
I'm sure you figured it out already, but just incase you didn't. I had the same issue when trying to flash a cm rom over a ported rom from a different phone like serenity and such. Two things worked for me, One do a factory reset with all the usual wipes, then reboot recovery, Two is to do a Odin flash back to stock and start over. I've only had this happen twice and both times I was coming from a ported rom.
Hope this helps.
Thanks had the wrong recovery.img, its always the simple things under your nose that you miss

So, i installed cwm and tried to make a backup but then i ran out of space, so the backup failed, so i had to delete some stuff, now im trying to back up again, then i will try to install a rom with cwm
this is so strange, i didnt do anytihng out of the ordinary, i got root by chainfire, then installed goo manager, and then a custom kernel...the most viewed one right now, so i thought it was legit which im sure it is, then a rom..... to end the madness, then i keep getting errors, its so frustrating

Before you Odin back; are you still able to successfully flash any of the kernels you've downloaded? Also, if you downloaded any of the ROMs onto your computer, try browsing through the zips real quick on your computer.

Slow down, re-group, you are NOT going to brick...
First off, lets try some things, my first would be try a different recovery, copy a rom you want to the internal sdcard, then try. Bet it works.
I had a issue like this also, day 2 of my g4, pull the battery for 5-10 min, it seems the recovery gets confused and it will error.
another item to try...check to make sure the md5 file size is correct. common mistake, people for get to do a check.
try these, if you have the same issues, odin back to stock and start over.
Good luck. Your welcome.

Probably this...and a formatting of the internal storage couldn't hurt either to make sure everything is cleared out.
Hey I had same problem. Download through Firefox not reg browser. And for infamous use the last download link
Goomanger gave me 3 bad downloads. To test this theory try and open the zip through a file manager, it probably won't let you because of bad download.. Happened to me 4 times but stopped using stock browser to download those files and has been working ever since

Also if you can't flash most things from more than 1 recovery still(happened to me when first got my gs4) I did Odin again but used 2.5.0.2 twrp and everything fixed as well. I recently was having the problem you have now and my first suggestion fixed it

I wil def use firefox next time, and twrp you said the latest is having problems?

[Q] Cannot flash anything

T989 without any SD card in it, the one I had died apparently new one on order. Went to flash the latest PA rom but kept getting error 7 using CWM. I updated my recovery to the latest TWRP and still will not flash. I tried updating to the newest radio UVMC6, but that wont flash. I am currently on CM10.1 nightly. My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

For onw those superwipe scripts are not needed with twrp, u might be getting the error from that, are u trying to flash from internal SD card since ur external died? That might cause it but I don't think so, I would suggest trying a manual wipe of all partitions, data, system, cache, dalvik, 2x , then flash, if that doesn't work try using Odin, go back to stock and start over, that should fix it definetly

Thank you... I wasnt sure about superwipe on TWRP since I just put it on and came from CWM. I am trying to flash from the internal card and the new external card will be at my doorstep tomorrow so I will drop that in as well. I will drop back in once I get all this done and hopefully all goes well.
Again thanks.

Installing TWRP now and will have an update on the flash soon.
OK... the fun seems to have just begun
I cannot install TWRP from GooManager. No clue why, looking on here and I found //techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules (cant link too new of a member)
So as it seems I can download the .img and GooManager should see it and if that doesnt happen I can install it through the terminal with these commands
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
OR flash it with ODIN... Which I would assume I get the .tar file and follow the same process as putting the recovery files in?
Aside from TWRP being an issue, I tried installing the PA rom with CWM and I got this:
Installing update
set_perm:some changes failed

I'm not sure what your overall problem is, but if you are going to install TWRP do not use Goo Manager or the img file. They have been messing up peoples phones. Odin the tar or try the zip from the TWRP thread.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

If you can boot into TWRP, then they must have fixed the Goo problem.
It seems like you have tried most everything. Maybe you should Odin back to stock. If you are comfortable doing it, that is.
i went to flash with goo last night and it bricked the phone kind of, i had to ODIN and reflash the CWM again and bam the phone rebooted no problem

I did Odin back to stock before. I am still on stock gingerbread right now with root access and am getting the errors I have been. I followed the tutorials in the sticky thread that I posted before that got me back to stock.
Within TWRP I tried installing the newest Cyanogen Mod and got
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
When I try installing the PA rom I get the same error
Any thoughts? Would going back to stock through Odin and doing this again potentially fix it? or is that a shot in the dark?
Lucky for me I kept a backup saved on my PC from before I did anything here. So I am back to the CM 10.1 Nightly I started on for the time being.
Is there any other method of flashing a rom that I might be able to try?

It would be a shot in the dark. I did a Google search for your error and a couple of people said they were able to fix it by using TWRP 2.3. That was for different phones though. Maybe try that before going stock.
I am by no means a pro at this and am still learning as I go. Just to make sure of what I am doing, can I Odin TWRP 2.3? I also found this

Just a thought here... I keep gettin emmc errors... I was reading about upgrading and downgrading TWRP through the Terminal Emulator and it said use emmc or sdcard depending on what the phone reads it as.
When I first got the phone i recall seeing emmc when i would go into any file browser. Now it just says sdcard0 (internal) & sdcard1 (external)
So how can I get recovery to stop looking for emmc and start looking for sdcard0?
Unless I am way off in left field here with this.

Yes, use Odin and the 2.3.3.0 tar from the techerrata website. I like using the Odin method because I have never had a problem upgrading recovery that way. I don't know about the emmc errors because I have only used the dd method like twice.
Edit: Maybe your internal memory is corrupted? I'm not sure how to test for that though.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

I think u must be getting bad DL then because none of that sounds right lol, if u got twrp to load into your device and all is working fine then the only other option is a bad DL, try checking the DL with a root browser or something to see the size of the file, status 7 errors are from the zip, usually bad install script in the ROM, which could be caused by a bad DL, check the DL size and let me know

went back to 2.3.3 and still having the same error.
Is there a way to correct any possible errors in my internal memory?

If the DL is good, I don't know what else to tell u that is very strange indeed, but interesting too, I've never not been able to install at all, I'm curious..
