If you're using Philz Recovery, uncheck the option, "Update old binary"

Error 7 when installing 4.1.1 CodefireX :(

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.

Rooting stock 4.1.2

I know I can flash any custom ROM I want now or the rooted/odexed version of the 4.1.2 OTA, but just for a little while I'd like to keep the flash counter at zero.
I'm still on 4.1.1 because I just got my phone 2 days ago, and I flashed the non-tripping stock root odin package before I even turned my phone on. But now I see there's an update for 4.1.2 (that someone said has multiview???) and I was wondering if there's a way to get to 4.1.2 and root it without tripping the flash counter.
Ideas?
Exynos abuse exploit. Google search it after you take the update. Download it and run it.

I'm not questioning you (thanks by the way), but I thought the 4.1.2 update was specifically to fix that issue. Was that not for the Note II?

Get the update.zip file and copy to your cache directory .
Go into recovery mode (vol up +home+power) → flash from cache. and done ...It won't wipe your data... . .and you will get you multiview.
From your previous comment. ..don't worry about custom rom count. .it can be easily rest via triangleaway.

Try recovery mode →clear cache ..Then copy update zip into cache. .som3 people suggest full unroot before runing the update..try that. I ran the update.zip in my wifes phone today with this method.

Use the exynos abuse apk to quickly root. Quick question, are you using stock recovery?

Did. Still gave me the error when flashing in recovery. Also the root is like not working completely. Some apps don't ask for permission and so I can't give it to them.
Edit: bought supersu pro and it worked nicely. (the root acess, flashing still doesn't work)

cwm 10.1?? Think you may be confused with the CM 10.1 rom. There is no such version for CWM recovery but if you still face issues there even on the latest version then try moving to the latest TWRP and it should run through fine.

CWM and TWRP are separate recoveries man.. Flashing one will overwrite the other. Just choose which one you want.

TWRP is always recommended but it's all about personal preference. If you want my opinion I think TWRP is indeed better. It's got a much better UI and a lot easier to navigate, not to mention it's all touchscreen based.

Ok well this will be for my Samsung galaxy s3, so I just uninstall cwm and the install twrp?

Keep in mind that nandroids are recovery dependant so your current CWM backups will not be compatible with TWRP and same vice versa. If you're worried abput losing your backups what you could do is restore any CWM backup then flash TWRP and backup that ROM you had restored over to TWRP. You can do the same to all your CWM backups if you have any more but that'll take you quite a bit of time to do lol.

No need to uninstall. Like I said, just flash TWRP through Goomanager and it'll overwrite your current recovery.

I have the same issue
Hi I also tried to install PACMan rom in Galaxy R through TWRP latest version. It says
1. No cheksum files found.
2. Assert failed.
Then some conditions are being checked to identify the device name. That's why the assertion failed.

[HELP] GS3 Can't install ROM

I tried to install roms like PAC Rom and Liquid Smooth, I can only manage to install the older versions, now I get an error, something like Status 7 or something in the recovery. I heard you had to upgrade the recovery, and so I used ROM manager to update CWM Recovery and the same message pops up.
EDIT: I tried TWRP and it didn't work either.
