[Q] Help status 7 phone useless

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.

[Q] Cant install rom after installing Probam N7105

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...

[Q] Stuck in Cyanogen Recovery after flashing Paranoid Android

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

Yes i did a full wipe !
That file seems to be cm11. Not cm12.
If you can use a custom recovery.. I would grab the newest cm12 nightly for the A5.
Then download the gapps from Cyanogen..
Fresh wipe.. Flash cm12 nightly.. Try and reboot.. Then flash gapps..
