"Status 7" error in CWM while installing ROM - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I'm currently trying to install the latest CM10 FXP131 ROM on my Arc S Lt18i. I flashed my phone to the first ICS Stock ROM by Sony and rooted it to install CWM Recovery.
Now, the next step was to flash the ROM. So I downloaded the Anzu version of the ROM, copied it to my SD and changed into Recovery mode. I picked "install zip from sdcard" and chose the ZIP I've just downloaded.
But instead of installing the ROM I got a error every time. It says
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20120731-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip
(Status 7)
Installing aborted
Can someone help me to finally install the ROM?
Thank you so much,
Max

You also need to install the kernel.

Something like this a few lines above?
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT18i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT18I" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "LT18i"

Nope, this is the full protocol:

Opening update package...
Installing update...
set_perm: some changes failed

Just for information. The first thing I've done after installing CWN was straight installing the .zip . I did not flashed the kernel or wipe. Maybe that has something to say?
EDIT: Oh, and after every try to install the ROM my phones hangs up at the "SONY" logo and won't boot. I always have to flash the original sony .ftf to make it run again :/
Thank you,
Max

Open the cm-10-20120731-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip with a zip viewer, extract the boot.img and flash it via fastboot. Then perform a Full Wipe and try to flash the ROM again.

I will try that, but I need a unlocked bootloader for that all, right? Or isn't that necassary at all?

If you want to flash cyanogen you have to unlock your bootloader. An unlocked bootloader is recommend for flashing custom Roms and kernels.

Thank you for your clarification! It's working now! =)

Hello... I'm flashing new ROM and facing Status 7 error with what you said at the front... Here's the error message:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "c8812" | | gerprop ("ro.build.product") == "c8812" | | getprop ("ro.product.device") == C8812 "| | getprop (" ro.build.product ") ==" C8812 "
E: Error in / sdcard/C8812_20120822005.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Can I know the cause of this and how to overcome that? Please & Thanks!

I'm getting this exact same problem on my Arc S except with cm10 Fxp138. My bootloader is unlocked, im rooted, i flashed the kernel first and STILL i get Status 7 error installation aborted. If someone could help, that'd be great

I am also getting the same error but on Sony LWW with Pacman JB ROM.

I also got this status 7 error with the code "Status 7 - symlink: some symlinks failed".
After deleting the first line (before the ; sign) I could get the rom to install.
I would like to know, why / how this can happen... Maybe flashing a false kernel or other things?

I think maybe binary and script don't match each other; or maybe there's error in text of script
(sorry for my bad english)

try to flash the kernel lupus

Firstly, give us recovery log. Secondly, I had such an issue with CM7.1 quite long time ago. I've fixed it by changing phone's ID from LT18i to LT15i via fastboot. There's a proper command for it.
1. Go to CWM
2. Plug phone
3. "adb pull tmp/recovery"

WHAT ?
Try a full wipe ( data , cache )

CM10 on my ARC
I have the same, install new baseband upper then 70 or official ics 4.0.4 then use flashtools to install kernel and flash rom
You have unlocked bootloader ??

i have "Status 7 - symlink: some symlinks failed" when i try install Jelly-v4.zip. anyone help me, i have downloaded that rom 3 times but it can't help

I had a lot of frustration with this. Had many attempts. The only thing that seemed to work for me was to flash the doomlord kernel. Then it worked perfectly.

[Q] Status 7 Error Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly Build 14

Dear Forum Members,
I have a problem with my Desire HD.
My phone is rooted and has the 3.0.0.5 ClockworkMod Recovery installed.
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly Build 14 for HTC Desire HD.
Iv'e downloaded the .zip file and put it on my SD-Card.
I went to ROM Manger and tried both ways (Install ROM from SD-Card ore Reboot in recovery mode and install it there).
Both ways I ended up getting this strange message:
Installing update…
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "bravo"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_bravo_full-14.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Is any one seen this error before? and if so can you please help me.
Kind Regards,
Whiteness.

The error messages suggest your trying to install the ROM for Bravo or the original Desire, I think you may have the wrong ROM?

[Q] Unable to install CM 7.2 installed due to build.prop error...

Hi guys, need some help here.
Trying to get the CM 7.2 installed on my Verizon R800x. I updated the firmware to .89 (had to relock by bootloader to do so). I then tried to do the fastboot flash boot boot.img and got the kernel to load, but now when I try to install the update.zip from the CWM download I get the following. I unlocked my bootloader again (using the original method from ashergray like fastboot -i oem unlock 0xfce... etc) and tried again. Same result. Any ideas?
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa-r2

Change your recovery ASAP to a newer CWM version or much better : 4ext touch recovery and see if it works.

Check the hboot requirement of the roms and the md5 of the zips. If all is okay then it's time to upgrade the recovery. Flash 4ext as it is the best of'em all.

[Q] CM10 Status 7 Error

I have searched forums and tried all the fixes listed.
My CWM recovery is 6.0.1.5 - the newest i can find.
I rooted and running stock Rogers (I'm a canadian rogers user)
I have downloaded multiple times (using the net and file transfer/Rommanager/and directly to my sdcard (internal and external):cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip (i would like to run the stable version rather than a nightly until i am used to it)
I always wipe data as well i have tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache as well
and still every time I try to install CM 10 on my phone, it just says:
Installing update...
script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att"
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
(Status 7)
The complete and total log from when i installed using RomManager is also something i can post if needed?
CWM 6.0.1.5 is not the one you should be using. You need CWM 6.0.1.4 for the sgs3 att.
Try using twrp
check this out I had the same issue on telus
