I installed probam(4.4.2) rom on my phone about a week ago, was having trouble with it so i tryed to wipe everything and install Skynote Air Rom (4.3). but everytime i go to install i get
"installing update..."
"format() expects 5 args got 3"
"E: error in /storage/sdcard1/Roms/Sky_Note_Air.zip"
"(status 7)"
"installation Aborted"
so after that failed i tried odin to go to complete stock firmware and re-root and get CWM recovery and now its just running stock
Now i have done a little Research but im getting mixed answers, some say its the recovery, but others say its because i need to re-partion my phone.
tried philz recovery, and TWRP but both with same error
If it needs re-partioning how would i go about doing it without bricking my phone
any help would be very appreciated
Thanks
...hello there...I suggest this steps...
1) check if your phone is rooted correctly (use GalaxyNote2Root)
2) flash Philz recovery over Odin (use philz_touch_6.02.1-n7100)
3) Try with some custom ROM that have Aroma instalation like (use Sotmax_Ultimate_Stock_V14_XXUEMK4_HD_AR)
Regards...

Hi
I have tried everything from flashing new Clockworkmod recovery to going back to original nothing takes.
Clockworkmod recovery v5.8.1.5 will not go away
and when I try to install ROM I get
symlink: error in /sdcard/romname.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
does anyone have any ideas?
Are you S-Off or do you have an unlocked bootloader? Have you relocked? What ROM are you trying to flash? Where are you getting your recovery? How are you trying to flash it?

Status 7 usually refers to a bad download or a wrong device Rom. Check that the rom you are flashing is the right for your device and that the md5sum is correct.
I tried flashing the latest snapshot, nightly and stable build of CM.11 using TWRP. I did a factory reset first then tried flashing CM.11 followed by GApps, but all I get is "Failed" in red when I try flashing the rom.
Any Ideas?
Flash Philz Touch recovery and then flash cm11.

Thx. I'll give it a go and let you know! Hope this works
Update: Sadly that too failed. The last thing it tries to do before receiving the red "failed" error is this: Updating partition details...
The error is this:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '.sdcard/Android Roms/philz_touch_6.15.4-d2att.zip
Im going to try and put these flashable files in the root of my SD card and see if that helps.
If it fails again, find and select Copy Log to SD. Often this will give more insight into the cause.
Try flashing via Odin.
Trying to flash several ROMs on the latest version of Teamwin, and even a lower version after reading that it helped someone. Had to use ODIN recently and went back to a bone stock ROM, and now I rooted it and am trying to flash a custom ROM. Trying the latest SlimROM, Liquid, CM11, no luck.
Teamwin is saying "E: Error in /external_sdcard/ROM NAME
(Status 7)
Error flashing zip ' /external_sdcard/ROM NAME
Updating partition details. . ."
Any ideas before I re-ODIN my phone and go back to using a stock ROM?
Alright, I installed a JB stock ROM with bootloader via ODIN and I'll use this until tomorrow when I have more time. I'll re-root it, get a proper 4.3 ROM and give it a shot.
Did you give CWM a try?
Is there a reason your trying to use twr specifically?
I just flashed paranoid android 5.0+ unofficial for the galaxy S2 T989,
and for some reason it flashed cyanogen recovery over my previous one which was clockworkmod.
I can't for some reason get out of recovery (ie. boot into system or boot into bootloader).
I already wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache (in cyanogen recovery) and I also tried flashing different roms and tried flashing clockworkmod again but I keep getting an error of:
Installed Failed
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
E: Cannot load volume/misc!
Cannot load volume/misc! - seems to be the first error message anytime I try to apply update from sdcard (ie. flash anything).
Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem with you , can you get your phone into ODIN mode?
i have the same problem , and odin doesn't recognize my phone , I couldn't find any solution ..
Actually I ended up solving my problem, I just flashed the stock unrooted img in odin and now its back to normal. Just make sure you check re-partition in Odin cause my cache is messed up

I have the same problem , i must go to center , and repair 20$ , poor you! , you can try this way before go to center https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WaAMwMk1i0
So this came from Paranoid 5.0+
Since I cant plug in my phone (broken port)
Im not sure how to download a zip to help me re cover CWM
Welp
Anyone ever been trying to flash the stock OG5.TAR through ODIN and had it fail, then sayd Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I can not get a rom or stock tar to flash and work after having other issues.
Also tried flashing twrp again, then going into recovery and flashing Sac23's Rom, and get this error:
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Note_5_Sac23_Port_V2.1.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/Note_5_Sac23_Port_V2.1.zip'
and says Failed.

A little more info such as did you check md5 after downloading the stock tar?
Whats your current version of Android?
What other if any mods have you done?
You can try the stock rom by tx_dbs_tx here:

Read the OP carefully.
If that works then go here:

and flash one of the three awsome bug free roms.
