HELP! Getting an error trying to flash 2.5.1.4!

I've flashed it before, but decided to install evil's rom (reverted back to 2.5.1.2).. I didn't like it so I went back and restored CM7, now I can't flash 2.5.1.4.. I get an error saying "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". Please help! I'm new to these stuff, thanks guys.

Same thing happend to me this morning. it was weird cause before that i was flashing it fine in order to use CM7. I tried reboots but still nothing. I then just flashed ICE and used the rom manager from the ice Rom and it worked. I was able to flash 2.5.1.4. Try that.

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

How did it work? Share what you did.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.
Check the clockwork/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries folder on your SD card. Is there a .img file in there called recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img? If it's not in there that's why you can't flash it, because it can't find the file.
Not sure why the file was missing from the folder.. but thats what it turned out to be.
You should be able to download the image from: http://phones.crackflashers.com/glacier/recoveries/glacier-cwm3src-2.img
Or you can get the file already named correctly out of this zip: http://goo.gl/nZJ7U
But you'll have to dig for it to find it.
then rename it to exactly "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img" and put it in the folder. It should work then.

shortskoolbus it makes no diff. Now if you were missing the file then it would give you this error message "No legacy recoveries found, Are you connected to the internet?" and if you do have the file then it gives you this error message "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I was trying to install new OC kernel and came across this as I originally thought it maybe linked to ClockworkMod as some folks in thread reported installing kernel without wipe cache/davlik. So I try to update it to 3.0.0.5 and it was successful but without result so I had to manually install 3.0.0.0 via console.
As I posted it originally on Q&A section when it happened none had issue and now everyone is having issue, POS I can't even access Dev thread as its says I need 10 posts when I have more I can't post it.

Well I had the problem and went through the steps i described above to get it to work... So not sure.
Oh and it didn't say no legacy recoveries found, it said there was an error trying to flash. But it's working fine for me now after I out the img in that folder... so up to you guys if you want to try it.

its not just you, everyone is getting this error. Youll need to flash cwm 3 through fastboot or terminal emulator if you want to go to CM7 or MIUI until TrueBlue_Drew gets it fixed and releases an update.

Actually I am not sure what you are talking about OptLynx. What shortsloolbus said is 100% correct. If you are missing the image or it is in the wrong place it does not give you the "no legacy recoveries found" error. It will just say "error flashing recovery". And the reason it worked when people switched to a old Ice glacier rom is because IG isnt running the latest Rom Manager that has now changed the location of where it keeps the recovery images.
See my thread here for the new zip that places everything in the correct place. http://goo.gl/O5SlI

Downgrade 2.3.5 to 2.2.2 then MIUI

hi guys. I have a huge weird problem after the downgrade.
on MIUI (last release) i can mount the external sd and the internal, but cannot copy to them, because they are write protected :O , when i saw this was like WTF?!?!
can someone explain me what can I do to overcome this problem!? I've tried system restore aka wipe data/cache, already tried to flash again and the problem persists.
What can I do? Even on stock 2.2.2 after the downgrade, i can mount the external SD but after unmount i need to mount it on the memory tab in definitions.
Someone with know how, pls help me!
Thks in advance.
If necessary i can try a logcat of something if it helps (but i need some advice on this too)

Remember to do a factory reset / clear cache inbetween flashes. I always do and have never had any problem with bootlooping. Think it has something to do with filesystem changes from 2.2 to 2.3 (EXT3/EXT4 etc.). I also clear Dalvik-cache.

Conclusion... If I want to put my cell phone on it normal state, I need to flash it again with 2.3.5 right!?
ohh god! Never more Huawei... NEVER!
Could someone tell me if I have another way to put things right again!?

ohh god!

Hmm. You're using an after-market ROM and blaming Huawei, interesting
Anyway, yeah it looks like dial foo doesn't work in cm7 either. It might work in 2.2 stock, but you'd have to flash 2.2 or 2.3 from Huawei in any case.

lol ksatta. you are a little bit right. but it's the same situation in official rom or miui or cm7 or anything else. Today i will try to flash the stock 2.3.5 rom again and see what is gonna to happen.

Yeah the official beta seems to mess up SDcards on many occasions, lots of people having problems. Ofcourse it's Beta, but still I guess it's ok to blame Huawei a bit
I wonder if the USB mode thing fixes it, we're trying to solve similar issues in the beta 1 V2 thread.

I Went back to miui after official beta2. Everything else is fine, but now i cant access to internal sd at all... External works fine. Tried change sd usage setting from x5 settings without success..
And another thing.. Does anyone have that huaweis backup program apk? I'd like to install that so i can restore my backup.

Hmm, do the stock roms even support internal SD when external is inserted? not sure. Anyway I remember that in CM7 there was in the changelog at one point that internal SD is mounted as /foo.

You're right. They don't mount as sdcard at the same time. In my case I can't mount internal SD even without external. It seems to be mounted as /emmc all the time. Not as sdcard.

You can get it to flash if you comment out the assert(..) line from the .zip/META-INF/com/google/.../updater-script. I got CM7 to flash OK without downgrading to 2.2 first, BUT I didn't get CM7 to boot, tried lots of things. The assert line just aborts the script if the phone is not a U8800, the recovery might report it as u8800pro or something.
I think the 2.3 update also updates some of the non-standard partitions or something, but it might take a while before I look into it again, I spent way too much time on it yesterday

[Q] Bricked zte blade? or is it a hardware problem?

So ill tell you all that happened.
I wanted to install the elite blade s4 rom which required creating an sd card partition so i went to recovery created 1024mb partition and 128mb swap as written in the rom page after that i flashed the s4 and it worked perfectly for a few days after that, one day my battery was on 89% and i turned the screen off and later when i tried to turn it on again it didnt happen therefore i connected it to the charger and tried so then it went into a bootloop and if i took out the charger it just vibrated and didnt switch on.i tried flashing the rom again from clockwork still the same problem i tried flashing cm7 still the same problem then when i thought of trying gsf r3 it showed
E:error in /sdcard/gsf-blade-r3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
What do i do?!
I forgot to mention that it doesnt boot unless i connect it to the comp

I similar issue with cm7 ics version from this forum the Dev section. I tried everything. Finally I bought an other ZTE blade. The old one is good as dead as it's not even powering.
advise.. Keep off the unstable roms with the blade.

I think your SD card is corrupted or failing. You should format it in a computer without any EXT or SWAP partition. After that try to install CyanogenMod, Swedish Snow or any other ROM that doesn't require EXT or SWAP partition.
Which ClockWorkMod version do you use? I suggest 5.0.2.0.

[Q] Error flashing CM 7.1 on NC

I downloaded CM 7.1 stable for my Nook color, and when I go to install I get an assert error with a "status 7".
I've done a lot of flashing of ROMs on my DX, but I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing. I've pretty much just done the usual routine for flashing a new ROM:
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache,system,data,dalvik cache
- flash ROM zip file
No luck for any ROM I've tried. Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?

Go over the steps in my sig. If that's no help check out the links in it particularly eyeballer's and mrg666's.

Thanks, I'll try it out. Why don't the official CM7 and MIUI builds work?
Are there other Mirage Kangs I can try out? Any good ICS ones?
Thanks again,
Mike

Also, I'm assuming if I have CWMR already installed I don't need the boot SD, correct?

Same problem. I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "encore"
E: Error in /sdcard/download/encore_CM72_MiRaGe-06082012.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does this mean I have to do the SDcard boot?

In theory you could put any ROM in place of M-K you wanted but if you are wanting ICS I would install using one of those instruction threads. All I was suggesting was that you go over the basic steps I outline to make sure you weren't missing anything.
And yes, it sounds like something got corrupted and you need to start from scratch. I would at this point. I always look at it as time to flush the old and try out some new.

So, I tried unrooting and doing a stock recovery, then using a boot-sdcard to flash any number of ROMs. I still get the same error.
At this point it seems something is fundamentally wrong. I tried several options on the flashing, nothing seems to get around this error.
Is there anything else I can do here?

When you say you were able to do a stock recovery, what did you mean by that? Were you able to flash a stock ROM to emmc with recovery? Or did you do an 8 failed boot reset?
Also, what version of CWM are you using?
The problem you are having is the install zip cannot verify that it is flashing to the correct device. If it can't find that 'encore' in your properties it will abort. I'm not sure where that property is stored on your emmc, but the zip is not finding it.

I did a factory reset from the nook settings. Is that not sufficient?

Emmc means embedded multimedia card. It is basically an SD card built into the Nook. It is where all of your internal information is stored. It is partitioned into 8 partitions to hold various kinds of information, like the system files for your ROM, and data that is specific to your installation (application settings, your login info, etc.).
When you did the factory reset it cleared the data info, but not the system info. That is good if you want your stuff off, but it does nothing to the system files (including the root files). So someone else could put their info in and yours will be gone.
Somewhere on one of those 8 partitions is info stored that tells the zip you are an encore. (It's 1, 2 or 3, I just don't know which). The zip is not finding it. That could be because one of those partitions is corrupt. Or the data could just be missing.
If you truly did a factory restore, like flashing a factory zip to emmc, then the info might come back.

OK, thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do.

Try looking here (post 148). It is a Stock Rom zip for 1.4.1. Try flashing that with your CWM. Use the first one. It still has an assert statement in it so it may also fail, but it is worth a try.

I'm on and a nook tablet and I'm trying to flash 7.2 stable, I already have CM7 Alpha on the nook which the install had gone smoothly. I tried to use rom manager which gets me to clockworkmod but I get the same error - status 7 when trying to install the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip that I downloaded from cyanogenmod.com.
I've tried downloading it a couple of times, I've tried a bootable sd card but I still get status 7 when trying to install. I've followed the install guide cyanogenmod's wiki to the letter but I cannot get past that error. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Right now I'm back to CM7 Alpha.

It's because you are on a Nook TABLET. CM 7.2 is for a Nook COLOR. They are completely different devices. If you want to brick your Tablet, keep trying to install this!

mikecico, are you sure you are on a nook color? They look almost identical, but the nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet is silver. Like I said in my post above, they are different devices and that may be why the zip is rejecting the install. It's doing its job.

I just did a check on the model number, BNTV250. It's a tablet.
Sorry for the noise guys. I think he had told me it's a NC, and I used a NC root method successfully, so I had assumed that was correct.

You need to make sure that your phone is unlock and S-off, if not installing another rom would not work and it could damage your phone.
