Just to provide all the information I have on hand, I have the
T-Mobile SGH-M919
android version 4.3
baseband version M919UVUEMK2
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7
My issue is that regardless of what rom I attempt to download i get the error below. Specifically, I've tried to download virginROM 2.3, which seems to be compatible with my device. From what I understand status 7 is in place to keep you from flashing an incompatible rom and so I'm not too sure how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I just ran into this a few minutes ago using Philz Touch. The solution I found was under the install zip menu, you should see "Don't Allow Old update-binary. It should have a check-mark; simply untick that option and try again.

I'm using CWM and I don't see the option to check "donm't allow old update-binary." When I turn toggle signature verification off I get
E:footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed

and then get prompted to ask if i want to install an untrusted package. I attempted to download and apply the new 4.4.2 Google Edition by Davnh, haven't tried TWCP yet but i feel like it should still be doable via CWM.

[Q] error installing CM 10.1: "E: error in emmc/cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip"
I am trying to install the cm-10.1-20130222 nightly build on my AT&T sgs3. I have clockwork recovery mod v 5.5 installed already and my device is rooted.
When ever I select the zip file and proceed to installation in the recovery mode I get the following error:
E: error in emmc/cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip
followed by:
status 7
installation aborted
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I tried yesterdays (21st Feb's) nightly build too with similar results.

1.update your recovery
I suggest using TWRP if you aren't already
2.bad download
Re download ROM and try to flash again
Those two are literally the only reasons why you're getting that error.
Search or use Google next time since this has been covered 100s of times

Jayrokk's suggestion to update your recovery is correct. Cm10 requires the latest cwm version. There are flashable cwm zip resources online or you can update it in rom manager
Lookout Security -and that is a first- mentions the NIGHTLY download to be an Exploit.
Same warning for yesterdays Nightly.

when i try to install the non stock roms i get an abort message on cwm for some reason? any help?
What is your fail message? Could be your recovery version or could be your bootloader. We need more details of the problem and what you've done to troubleshoot it.

well im on twrp 2.5 and when i try to flash it says assert failed: getprop('ro.prudect.device") == "e: Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard Error flashing zip '/sdcard/download/aokp_d2att_ upadtion partition details. .. i guess it would have to be my bootloader then. ive done what task said and updated it through odin but still get this message
I started posting on a thread in the general section but think it is better suited over here. I apologize for the double post but thought it would get more eyes with a suggestion on it over here.
I was running a Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked 4.1.1. I have not been able to update to 4.1.2. I tried using CWM, TWRP, stock recovery and ODIN. CWM and TWRP give an error and won't install the update. I completely reflashed to stock and downloaded the OTA using the stock method. It tries to udpate and stops. After restarting it gives a message that the update was interupted.
I have tried installing the update through stock recovery with the file on the external SD card and the following message appears.
The other message that comes up when trying to update through stock recovery is
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Facelock.apk", :c0c83a8c5d02786abed70758022dce17e1fb3a6f", "1bel1a17f8063aba12220a38a38caa7b3382ec96bbeb")

Flash stock rooted 4.1.2 in cwm or twrp, you can find it in room development, you need to flash modem and firmware first which you will find in loser skaters first post of stock rooted 4.1.2

It sounds like your stock Rom is rooted. Unroot and try again. Same thing happened top me this morning as i did the update.zip again for a project. Unrooted with SuperSU and then it ran like normal. Don't forget to back up your internal sd, as it will be wiped in the process
You can just flash the already rooted 4.1.2?
Unless you want to download it from att? Wouldn't make sense to me.

I had similar problem, but the error was with bootanimation. I found my original file and put it where the update was looking for it. I am willing to bet that the Facelock.apk is not in /system/app or there is a problem with that file.
I am trying to download AOKP's nightly aokp_maguro_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-04 but whenever I try to flash it the bot shows up with a error exclamation point and with the message at the bottom:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in/sdcard/0/aokp_maguro_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-04 .zip
(Status 7)

I tried to flash older nightlys of the kitkat update but I get the same error. I have tried to wipe data/factory reset but that deosnt work. I can flash the AOKP mod I had before I tried this so there isn't a major problem if I can't update, but I would like to update to kitkat to improve my phone.
Anyone know why I keep getting this message and how to fix it?

I think you have to update your recovery. Older versions are not compatible with kitkat. I'm using Philz touch recovery, here's a link to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
You'll find different files for different types of tuna (galaxy nexus), choose the correct one according to your actual model, install it, and you're hopefully ready to flash.
Hope I could help!

Yes, you need to update your recovery. I had same problem with an other kk ROM.
I suggest you to download last cwm from the official site and install that.
After that you can install the AOKP 4.4! :thumbup:

I tried to install the ROM from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631840
I'm running a ROM based off stock 4.3 for the Verizon HTC One, version 2.10.605.1 of the ROM on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
My my baseband is 1.12.41.1112_2.
I'm using Clockworkmod Recovery version 6.0.4.7, I wiped the Dalvik, data, system, and cache then tried to install the zip I had on the phone twice and both times I got this error:
format () expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/NuSenseONE-KitKat-m7vzw-s55-stock_RC1.0_020614.zip.

Installation aborted.
I also tried using adb sideload and got this:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I used adb sideload for the ROM I'm currently on and my device is recognized when I use adb devices to check. The sideload gets to 100% then gives that message.
I was hoping to post straight to that first thread but since I'm a new member I was hoping somebody could help out? I already searched the thread for the ROM I'm installing and didn't find anything that helps me. Thanks!

Could be wrong...but, it could be a bad download.

Try flashing twrp recovery.
As brholt6 mentioned, it sounds like a bad download. Redownload it and check the md5 before flashing again. If it still fails you should try what DavidHawk62 suggested and try TWRP. I've been using TWRP to flash since I got my One and have had zero problems. I'm currently on NuSense.

I redownloaded straight to my phone and tried it, redownloaded to my computer and tried adb again, but I still get the same error.
May just do what cmlusco and Crawshayi suggested and try TWRP.
Its not a bad download. Status 7 refers to an invalid argument in the zips update-script. It tells you the error is "format () expects 5 args, got 4". This means that in the update-script of the zip, it is calling to format a partition but was not given all the arguments needed to do so. It has to do with being on a newer recovery. You are probably going to find a lot of zips will fail with this error, while on your current recovery. The same issue happened when twrp was released. As i said flash twrp recovery and flash the zip thru it. Or try this one on your current recovery, where i modified it to have the correct arguments. DELETED

You need the latest recovery for KitKat.
The ROM installs fine as is.

Use fastboot commands to flash it. There should be instructions in the recovery thread.
