[Q] Status 7 ERROR, PA ROM i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Friends, now I had hit a simple issue. Downloaded PA ROM 4.45 from official site itself(for my I9300 itself). Tried to install it using CWM(v 6.0.3.2), but there comes 'status 7' error.
1. What should I do now?
2. Actually, does this PA ROM comes with GAPPS or should I download it again?
Thanks in advance.

Updating CWM, how should it be done. Is it through ROM manager or anything else?
Thanks for your reply.

Download from here and flash via recovery(if it's zip) or Odin if it's in .tar format.

You can either flash via odin/heimdall (.tar) or flash the .zip in recovery. You just need the latest version of the recovery of your liking in either form.

Thanks friends. I will try it

By the way when you mean flash through recovery means. How? By using app like Flasher? Is it .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin? And also what it actually does is overwriting the old recovery. Right?

1) Just boot into recovery and choose "install zip" (or similar depending on the recovery you use), choose the zip file and confirm
2) Both .tar and .tar.md5 are fine
3) Yes it does overwrite the old one

I hope when flashing through Odin, auto reboot and f.reset time is to be checked.

ODIN didn't work, Can I use ROM Manager

Flashing through ODIN didn't replace the older CWM . What should I do now? Can I just use ROM Manager to update it?

I found cwm sketchy with backups and switched back to braways. I had cwm touch installed and ROM manager(finally supported) but the issues were too many.
I found using "flash touch recovery" from my tools in aospxxx works nicely.

You are right! I should have been more specific! I know better! The error is: "No applications can perform this action."
Are you sure that's a recovery flashable zip, and not just a zipped up .tar package for Odin?

The file contains a directory called META-INF and recovery.img...
That's for recovery, the Mets-inf folder is the script to write the recovery.img
That's weird, You may try downloading the zip fresh, or if ask else fails grab the Odin flashable tar and use that.

Now, I can run TWRP and run it from there without any ill effects (meaning, a bricked phone!), yes?
Yup.
Given you download the correct file for this device.
If that still fails, which I dunno why I would, it should go without saying The Odin file, will need Odin a pc and a Usb cable

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.
At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.

Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar
So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.

[Q] Kernel for nandroid backups? - JB 4.1.2 leak

I'm on the stock leaked ROM & kernel. I hear that Philz kernel has some added functionality but dodgy with nandroid backups. Can anyone confirm this? Are there any other kernels yet which are better for this?

apart from 'Philz' kernel no other Custom kernels will wrk with Stock JB leak ma8
OK thanks for that. Guess I'll have to wait. I really want to be able to do a nandroid backup in case things screw up and I have to spend ages restoring everything.
I never had problem with backups on Philz kernel. At least for me to do backup and restore working well.
Can't seem to install this! Just tried flashing the latest - PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.70 - using Mobile Odin. It just reboots the phone and the kernel isn't flashed. Tried it twice with/without the md5 tag but didn't work either time. What am I doing wrong?

Well, it's rooted - not sure about properly. I flashed a file (posted on XDA) which rooted it after flashing the ROM. Everything appears to be rooted - Superuser, Busybox, etc
Problem is I can't use Odin cause I'm on a Mac so I have to use the mobile version.

OK cheers.
Just out of interest I just booted into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:
"E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip )invalid argument)

I'm confused. Does this refer to the root "update.zip" or to the kernel which didn't flash?

Yes, I renamed it "update.zip" before moving it to the ex SD and flashing it.
When I try and flash Philz kernel, it selects OK in Mobile Odin but when I press "flash" the phone just reboots normally, not into recovery and the kernel isn't flashed.

The reason that the ROM will not install on your device is because you are trying to flash a ROM in the stock Android recovery. To install a custom ROM you will need to install a custom recovery image such as Clockworkmod Recovery. For a full guide on how to root your device, and install a custom recovery image I would recommend checking out this guide. If have any more questions let me know I'll be happy to help you out.

Download rom and copy it to your device
Boot into recovery
Choose in recovery install zip from sdcard ==> choose zip from sdcard
Choose the Rom and hit yes
Wait until installation is done!
Do not forget to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache for better experience
Reboot and enjoy!

Just to clarify have you now successfully rooted your device and installed Clockworkmod Recovery? If you haven't rooted your device and installed Clockworkmod Recovery yet the .tar file that you need to flash in Odin can be found here. Once you have rooted your device and installed Clockworkmod Recovery, the KingOS ROM will be a .zip file you do not need to extract anything from the .zip file simply follow the original flashing instructions you came across for the KingOS ROM. As always let me know if you still have questions.

For the US version I would recommend following this guide to root first, downloading on the rooted file system images .zip files, extracting the rooted system image .tar file and then flashing it through Odin. After you flash the rooted system image you will need to install a Superuser app such as SuperSU.

Help with flashing cutom Roms to Galaxy player 5.0 US version

Hi! I have my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 rooted and running the stock ROM and android 2.3.6. I have installed CWM recovery, and ROM manager. Now here is the issue. I have downloaded PAC ROM, CM 10.1, and CM 9. And none of them will install!! I am so confused... I try it manually with CWM and with ROM manager... Each time I wipe cache, data reset, and wipe dalvik cache if using manual CWM... So I have no idea why this shouldn't work! Please help me thank you!

Not to sure, but i think in order to go from stock to 10.1 you need to get cm9 in there first, same also assuming that you are trying the latest pac which is android 4.3. Can you list down your steps that you did in exact order? also assuming you did all the root and everything since you said you can boot into cwm.
Well here is what I have done.
1. Rooted the galaxy player with framaroot
2. Used Odin to flash a .tar file which gave me cwm
3. Downloaded all the Roms I said, two are on the SD card and 1 is on the internal storage
4. Installed Rom Manager
5. Have tried using ROM manager and just manually using CWM recovery to install each of the Roms.
6. ROM manager says the files don't exist(which they do)
7. Cwm recovery says an error occurred and its like "error or section 7" something like that... Why is this happening? It sounds like I'm doing everything right....

This post talks about recovering from being bricked but can be applied to getting a custom rom into you sgp5 in general. note the download link for Galaxy player bootloaders already contains odin the pit file and the tar file. this is however only to get it to cwm and install a rom you already have on sd card or internal memory. You would start on step 4 since your not bricked, past step 4 is just getting it into cwm to load roms.

Geez... OK, I can't be certain but I don't think ROM manager works for gp5. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery such as entropy's daily driver. From there you can flash directly to cm10.1 or cm10.2 you just need to wipe everything first(including system)...

Geez... OK, I can't be certain but I don't think ROM manager works for gp5. You need to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery such as entropy's daily driver. From there you can flash directly to cm10.1 or cm10.2 you just need to wipe everything first(including system)...

Well... finally now I was just trying again, and happened to actually remember to wipe /system, installed cyanogen mod 9 then to 10.2.
Running Jelly Bean wonderfully!

Rooting withot using USB possible?

Hi guys,
isit possible to root the S2 from Stock without using a PC connection via USB? Because it won't be recognized. Drivers etc are correctly installed. It seems to be broken...

thank you! :good: Now is the question how can i install CWM to finally flash custom roms?
Just search the latest cwm recovery and put it on the root of your (Internal) SD card. Then flash it via recovery, worked for me

Here, flash the latest version in ODIN (download the .tar.md5 file of latest version) and select it under PDA in ODIN. Flash it then BOOM! (No explosion intended, but you get what I mean) Your phone should have custom recovery.

Thanks, but i can not install CWM via Standard recovery because the paket signature is not signed. So i guess Samsung prevented it...
@gsstudios Flashing via Odin is obviously not possible for me...But thank you.
Is there a solution how to install a unsigned paket through standard recovery?
You need PhilZ recovery, see this post and following :

Thank you! So i flash Philz and after that i can directly flash CWM over it? Because i need CWM or TWRP for my ROM
That's correct. Flash PhilZ first, then the specific recovery for your new Rom (search for the zip file, not the tar file).
Thanks mate, worked like a charm.
