If you are getting status 7 error while installing any custom ROM, this fix might help you (it helped me too ).
Open the ROM zip using 7-zip or WinRAR,
Navigate to meta-inf/com/google/android & Extract the updater-script.
Open updater-script using Notepad++ & delete the lines that contains the "getprop..." (3 lines)..
Save the file.
Drag it back to the Original zip (the same directory from where you've extracted it) using 7-zip and confirm.
Enjoy Flashing.. :good:
PS: You can also use WinRAR, just change compression method to store.

Extracting ROM files from HTC RUU
Official HTC ROM updates are released as RUU (ROM Update Utility), which you run on your (Windows) PC to get the target device updated automatically.
Some of the big brains in the Android community release RUUs re-packaged into signed update files,
which in turn allow for whatever ROM customization you can imagine.
In this how to I will explain how to extract ROM files from a RUU image,
which you can then customize and use to flash your device without the fear of a new bootloader possibly making your device unrootable.
Requirements :
Windows PC,
Microsoft Process Monitor,
File Archiver capable of extracting ZIP files(eg, 7ZIP),
Official HTC RUU for your Android device.
The process of extracting ROM files from a RUU is really straightforward.
The idea behind it is that the self-contained update utility first needs to unpack the update payload into a temporary folder before pushing it onto the device.
This is when we grab the ROM file...
1. download the official RUU
2. start Process Monitor.
3. press CTRL+L
4. change "Architecture" to "Process Name"
5. leave the "is" field as it is
6. in the empty field copy and paste the name of your
RUU file (eg, RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe)
7. click "Add"
8. change "Process Name" to "Path"
9. change "is" to "Contains"
10. in the blank field type "rom.zip" (without quotes)
11. click add
Click "OK" to set the filter and then run the RUU file.
Once the utility starts switch back to Process Monitor and look for an entry in the "Path" column that ends with "\rom.zip".
Right click on that line and select "Jump to..."
this will open a Windows Explorer window in the folder which contains the zipped ROM files
Copy the "rom.zip" file to some other folder, outside of the temp RUU folder tree (eg, desktop)
Once copied, close Process Monitor and the RUU utility.
The copied "rom.zip" file contains the following files:
android-info.txt - list of CIDs this RUU will flash to,
boot.img - root file system image,
hboot (followed by a version string) - boot-loader update,
radio.img - radio driver update,
recovery.img - recovery partition image,
splash1_Hero_320x480.nb0 - boot loader splash image,
system_rel.img - system partition image,
userdata.img - data partition image.
You can now, among many other things, root the ROM
and then flash the updated boot.img and all the other image files on to your device using Recovery
it doesnt work... the process monitor colum is all blank after running RUU... there are no processes listed

you mst be doing something wrong i double checked the method and it still works fine for me..
make sure your environment is set up correctly and run everything as administrator or disadle uac in windows..
thanks for the reply, let me check it again...
i will post back to u
rom.zip corrupted
I followed the directions and like another post in here procmon shows a blank screen. I went to task manager and opened processes and saw when it ran then clicked open file location and found it. I did this twice and both zips are corrupt. (used winzip)
error [D:\android apps\EVO root\EVO\rom.zip]: start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt.
Possible cause: file transfer error
when I close the RUU all the files in that folder disappear so you have to leave the RUU running while you copy the zip file or it's gone.
At least that's what I saw.
update to last post
I found a zip repair tool and was able to repair and extract the 1.10.653.2 RUU rom capture. I will have to try to run it later. If anyone gets corrupted zip error, Zip Repair pro will repair it.
To get the rom zip without any errors just run the ruu.exe file, when the box with a picture of a phone pops up, click start on pc, type in "run" and click on run then in that box that pops up, type in %temp% and click ok. Another window pops up then just scroll down to the most recent folder and rom.zip will be in there, if not it will be in the next folder.
Hi,
when I try to open the rom.zip I get an error message, it just said it cannot open with 7zip and with windows it says its invalid.
I tried downloading the RUU multiple times but still the same error. I rune the RUU as administrator.
Tried copying it over to different locations and then open it.
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_O2_UK_1.14.206.13_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_289474_signed
HTC ONE X+
Thank you
Update:
I used Zip Repair Pro.. however there is no boot.img inside the repaired zip -_-
For those which have problem with making Process Monitor detect RUU temp folder, make sure You add whole file name of RUU including .exe at the end.
Jmcclue's steps, work perfectly, Thank you post #7

note path is desktop (last post showed from temp folder) and i still get same results. did some searching and aperantly htc now signs their zip files and they can't be opened anymore. having usb issues that causes fastboot force close errors and need to be able to flash boot.img thru flashify app to return it to stock. ran the htcguru reset rom that uses aroma installer to return to stock that lets me take ota's but i get qualcom location force close and other custom roms give me issues forcing me to reset phone to stock every few days with guru installer. flashing recovery in fastboot is a chore as well. I have s-off and can keep it, but doing fastboot oem lock wont relock the bootloader, even though it shows success in cmd line. i can cid and super cid with fastboot.
it leaves me at a point where i really need to pull everything out of the rom.zip file and it wont open.
pic 1, 7zip wont open archive on desktop
pic 2, how i get recovery to flash
pic 3, results from running RUU
i have to reboot device, set comand to reboot bootloader, set command to flash recovery all faster than phone will do all commands to get it to flash, and RUU doesnt work that fast. i know im on sprint with htc one m7, but google search "extract htc zip" "extract rom.zip" both lead to this thread as top result. no other searches will tell me how to open the archive, except one that resulted in "htc signed zips can no longer be opened"
you're more than welcome to give it a go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.05.651.2_RUU.exe
Did HTC change the way they create the exe? I don't find it, the biggest file is data1.cab file that I can't extract.
I'm trying to extract the stock rom for an ATT HTC One Mini (m4) because RUU keeps crashing on me and won't install. I am also rooted with S-off.
If anybody can help me get the stock m4 rom so I can go back to stock, I would really appreciate it.

No they didn't change it. Some ruu's use a different format requiring the use of a tool called unruu instead of trying to capture the zip file when using the exe (I just learned this today). I've gone ahead and used unruu and the resulting zips have been put in a single tar file. you can download it from here for about 30 days after which ill have to delete the file. also i dont know which zip has what in it.

STEP 1
You must first root your phone to get Philz Touch Recovery 6.
Link to Root
- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596697
STEP 2
Once you have rooted your device and have successfully gotten Philz recovery on your device you must make a nandroid backup. After the back up has been completed, you must download both the rom and gapps.*******I RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING BOTH FILES TO DESKTOP FOR EASY ACCESS******
Link to ROM
- http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/49849/cm-10.2.0-d2spr.zip
Link to GAPPS
- http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
STEP 3
Once you have downloaded both the rom and gapps you must download WINRAR to view the files inside the zipped folder. Any zip manager will work but heres a link to the Full Free winrar download.
Link to WINRAR
- http://www.mediafire.com/download/v...4.20.2.0_64-bit_full_setup++ComputerWizHD.exe
STEP 4
After you have installed WINRAR you must next download NOTEPAD++ to edit the rom files.
Link to NOTEPAD++
- http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
STEP 5
Once NOTEPAD++ has been downloaded you must navigate to where the rom file was downloaded. Once you have found the zipped rom file, open it with WINRAR and navigate to: /META-INF/com/google/android and open the updater-script file with NOTEPAD++
STEP 6
Once the updater-script file is open you must highlight all the lines above: mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system"); This line should be number 10. Delete everything above it making this line number 1.
STEP 7
After you have deleted all of the unnecessary lines close out of NOTEPAD++ and click yes on the prompt. WINRAR will to bring up a prompt, just simply select yes and drag both the ROM and GAPPS to your internal/external storage.
STEP 8
After both files have been placed into either the internal or external storage, power off your phone and enter recovery mode. To access recovery mode you must press and hold volume up first, home button second, then power button until blue text appears on the upper left hand corner of the screen.
STEP 9
****You should have already performed a nandroid back up before proceeding. If not please do so now!!****
After recovery has booted navigate to wipe data/factory reset to prepare the device for a new rom. After the factory wipe has been completed you MUST navigate to the advanced option and select wipe dalvik cache. Once that has been completed, navigate to install zip to locate the rom file and gapps file. You must flash the rom file first before the gapps file to prevent damage to the phone. After the rom file has been flashed continue with flashing the gapps.
STEP 10
After the rom and gapps files have been flashed you may reboot the system and continue with the setup of the device.

Hey everyone, I've made this thread to help people like me who face "(assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" =="GT-S5360" error)" aka Status 7 error" while flashing custom roms/kernels.
Before we begin, here is a little introduction about it :-
Basically, Status 7 error is caused while the updater script of the Custom Rom/Kernel checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM/Kernel you are installing, called “asserts”.
In a nutshell, "Asserts" is a safety valve which prevents you from installing a Rom/Kernel meant for another device on your phone. Say, a Galaxy S rom on Galaxy Y and vice versa.
A Status 7 error generally arises due to the carelessness of the developer of the Rom/Kernel.
Now, moving onto how to fix it. There are a no. of methods on internet about fixing Status 7 errors. Here, i'm going to list the one's that i think are easy and work most of the times.
Method 1 :-
Here, i'm going to cover the most common method of removing the asserts from updater script. This method works almost 100% of the times.So, lets start right away !
Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your
computer and extract it using your favorite unzipping software (WinRar recommended)
Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the
META-INF/com/google/android
directory. You will find two files called
“update-binary” and “updater-script”.
Step 3. Rename “updater-script” to
“updater-script.txt” and open with your
favorite text file editor.
Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually
this is the first line or one of the first
lines at the top of the text file.
Step 5. Save file.
Step 6. Rename “updater-script.txt”
back to “updater-script”.
Step 7. Rezip all the files you’ve
unzipped.
Step 8. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.
Step 9. Try re-installing ROM, now it
should install fine without Status 7 error.
You can do this even on your phone with root explorer
Method 2 :-
Now this method is tricky one ! This method can be helpful for people who are willing to try out custom roms/kernels but have regional varaiants of a phone. For example, Seven variations of the model Galaxy y exist:
S5360 L , S5360 B (Brazil), S5360 T ,
S536 3, S536 7 , S536 8 , and S536 9 .
So, basically this method is based on editing the build.prop of your phone.
However,this method is still untested so try it on your own risk and responsibility !
Open your build.prop.Search the following lines in build.prop having the model name and change them as shown below :-
ro.product.model=GT-S5360
ro.product.name=GT-S5360
ro.product.device=GT-S5360
ro.build.product=GT-S5360
Save the changes.Set the permissions and Reboot and now you may be able to install the rom !
NOTE :- Incase you're using this guide for flashing cm11, you'll have to change your device name to totoro.
Hey guys,
I wanted to install the new software the B510 but when I want to install it, it always stops and I get the message:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Books.apk", ........
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Can anyone help me? I'm on B125 and I've even tried a full wipe.
1. update B125
2. download B510 from Link
3. create folder "dload" and copy update.zip in folder "dload"
4. copy folder paste on SD Card
5. Settings>>About phone>System Update>Local update

hi..
as i wrote in the other thread i wasn't able to get the b510 (or b132 now) to pass the verify check..
i tried now almost everything i found inside this forum..
from unlocking bootloader to clean install and this tipp..nothing happend though i'm frustrated with this..
maybe someone can make a clear and step by step guide how to make e.g. a clean install of a rom, what bootloader is needed, which adb commands for unlocking (it is freaky to find these informations in about 5-8 different threads)..
i know that i can use the search and i do so.. but it is sometimes very difficult and timeeating to find the information i need..
Some times to update is required the last previous rom
