SlashDW Cyanogenmod 7 ROM error

Hey guys i did everything correctly, i backed up my apps using titanium backup, and flashed clockworkmod recovery, and then downloaded SlashDW Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 unofficial rom, and it asked me if i wanted to boot into recovery, so i clicked yes, after wiping everything, but it just shows a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it, and then my phone at the side.
What am i meant to do? Please help.EDIT: Posted in general section.
Somehow you still have the stock recovery.. flash again?
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Yes when i press home + power, i can go into clockwork mod recovery, but i'm new to this so i want to do it through rom manager. Everytime, i try to do it, it comes up with the same thing, the yellow triangle with exlamation mark.
I'll flash recovery again, to see what happens. Thanks for your help again.

So home + power gets you in cwm recovery? Then use that.
But i'm downloading a rom through rom manager, but that just dosen't work. & i accidently deleted the CW recovery image, so i had to install the clockwork rom manager again to get the folders on the sd card back. Oh and i re-installed everything so i'll give it a try again and see what happens.
It won't even let me press home + Pwr to go into CW recovery anymore now as well, shows yellow triangle, what shall i do?
Just reflash the recovery image, make sure superuser gives permissions to clockwork, then try, its a hassle but it happened to me too
Sent from my HTC Magic/G1 using XDA App
Thanks, i re-flashed and then tried installing the recovery image, and it keeps coming up with a error like this, when it starts doing it:
assert failed: write_raw_image("
/tmp/boot.img" , "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/clockworkmod/
download/romshare.deployfu.com.com
Basically it's a status 7 error. (that's what it says)

[Q] All ROMs fail to install?

Every ROM I try to install on my Kindle Fire give me the error Cannot load /misc!,which then causes it to reboot back into recovery. Then when I manually start my Kindle into the NORMAL BOOTUP, it boots into TWRP. This happens on every ROM I try. Any ideas?
Are you using TWRP?
The error saying it can't load misc volume (kindle doesn't have it) is normal and doesn't effect the install at all.
you will allways get this error because the kf don't have a volume misc - simply ignore it !
yes - it installs without any problems - the roms for the kf don't have any data or reference to this volume - this ingore the error
It's going to take a while to boot up for the first time so just sit back an be patient, the CM7 animation may spin for a minute or two before finally booting to the home screen.
good point airmaxx23 !
had a case where the prerooted stock rom needed 20min for the first boot !
but it booted correctly and everything is ok
Wait, you tried pressing the "reboot" button on the same screen that appeared after you flashed the rom, didn't you? Hitting that button actually does launch you back into TWRP after every ROM flash.
If you navigate back to the TWRP home screen and go reboot> system, then it will begin to boot into the ROM without any problems. The /misc problem happens with every ROM that I've tried.

this is what appears in the window when I select install
Install /sdcard/cm9-02-24.zip
E:Cannot load volumen /misc!
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Installing update… (and immediately appears the next without loading or anything)
E: Cannot load volumen /misc!
This is another installation I tried:
Install /sdcard/Energy.zip
E:Cannot load volumen /misc!
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Installing update… (the same, no loading.. immediately appears)
E: Cannot load volumen /misc!
In both cases (after wiping the cache and dalvik) I press the reboot option and my KF starts normally with the yellow triangle
but when I try to install the stock firmware it appears like this:
Install /sdcard/update.zip
E:Cannot load volumen /misc!
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Installing update… (in this case the loading bars appears and takes about 1 minute or 2, then i got the next line)
E: Cannot load volumen /misc!
and reboots without the yellow triangle... erasing the twrp and unrooting my KF
No. I didn't hit anything after the install. It does it by itself everytime. Yes, I am using TWRP. And, this happens with every ROM...

Oh and I already did. Sorry I couldn't reply until now..
EDIT: Misread thread, sorry bout that. Nevertheless you should have known that can't load volume/misc has absolutely nothing to do with your problem.

I found a way that worked for me:
- reinstall the Twrp with adb
-copy to the sdcard the custom rom
-make a backup
-factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and cache
-go to install option and select the custom rom install it
-wipe dalvik-cache and reboot
Note: I downloaded everything again (the Twrp, the custom rom) maybe that was part of the problem...
That worked for me... Hope it works for you as well

[Q] Dell XCD35 not booting into CyanogenMod7 aft recovery

Hi Everyone ,
I attempted to root my Dell XCD35(aka Zte blade)..Rooting went fine(z4root)... I had flashed CWM recovery from Rom Manager... During recovery the screen appeared inverted...Then it gave me 3 optn-
flash update.zip,
clear user data,

I did not find clear Dalvik cache option so i proceeded.... I cleared the cache and all user data... and proceeded to update.zip... I had saved the stable rom ( cm-7.2.0-blade.zip ) available on CyanogenMod official site on my SD card...
Initially on searching it could not detect the .zip file... So i renamed the cm-7.2.0-blade.zip to update.zip... After this the recovery mode flashed it...
On rebooting, the phone shows the dell logo and then cyanogenMod7 animation and then goes into a loop... On pressing power+volm key it goes into FTM mode......... PLS HELP...

The reason your blade is entering into FTM mode is that You havent flashed ClockworkMod recovery properly... Now for the solution... Enter into recovery with Power and Vol+... Flash update.zip... cyanogen mod 7.2 will be flashed...Download gapps for cynmod 7.... Flash it... Download Rom Manager from Market... open it and flash recovery (Working mobile data or wifi needed)... Done

I googled "status 7 error", but i didn't get that message. I installed the zip-file from CWM and that went "right", then i rebooted the phone and then i got stuck. Hard reset (power, volume down, home) doesn't work....just goes back in normal reboot.
Oh and i have installed the latest recovery from the ROM manager app.
I made one mistake btw, forgot to factory reset and wipe data

You need hard reset, try this several times and it will work http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l7-p700-hard-reset.html
Edit. probably its softbrick, soo relax and u will find a way
Edit2. This is the official touch screen cwm. You will unzip it on the root of your pc ( C/ ) and do the 3 steps flash bootloader, flash recovery and reboot to recovery, it will reboot each time, and then u will not have status seven. http://hugefiles.net/mu8ta9a11mm8

But i can only hard reset if i press power, volume and menubutton (physical). I tried to do the same as the vids here, several times. But no success.

J500FN Bricked

Hi, i flashed my phone with custom rom and my phone keep restarting everytime i started it. And i cant use recovery (twrp) because it restarts in recovery mode too, it can go only in download mode.. please tell me its not hard brick that cant be fixed in software. Thanks
Well if it only restarts in download mode the only thing you can do is to return to stock. Download the latest firmware of your device variant and flash it via Odin. I suggest you to flash a lollipop one and then update to Marshmallow if you want.

Yo!
First, calm down because its not hard brick You can fix it and its quite easy.
Follow these steps:
1) Download and install the proper DRIVERS for your phone (it should be done automatically when you connect the phone to the PC).
2) The phone should have at least 50% battery!
3) Download ODIN program. I'm using v3.09
4) Download the stock rom for J500FN from here: MEDIAFIRE <--- click . This is a firmware which i have uploaded in past, for faster download and is based on 5.1.1 lollipop.
If you want other firmware, then check on SAMMOBILE or other website.
You can use SamFirm to download firmwares faster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (even if says deprecated, it works fine).
5) Extract ODIN archive and run it (.exe file).
6) Extract the stock rom .zip archive and you will get a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file (xxxxxxxxxx= name of the stock rom)
7) Restart the phone in DOWNLOAD MODE, by holding Power + Home + Volume down buttons same time.
A "Warning" window will apear, now press the "vol up" button to get "DOWNLOAD MODE" and conect the phone to the pc
If the ODIN see the phone, on the "ID:COM"line(midle-left) you will see "0:[COMx]"(x= port number)
8) On the ODIN press "AP" button, a window will apear, search in it the location of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5, select it and open.
9) Now press "START" button and wait until ODIN finish.
When it finish, the phone will boot automatically and in ODIN will apear a big green PASS.
10) Phone is booting. Yayyy!

Now flash TWRP and go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then the bootloop should be gone.
If you still have a bootloop after doing this, then try to reflash the stock rom.

Then reflash stock rom and reboot. If you get bootloop, go to recovery ( STOCK recovery) and wipe data and cache, but keep in mind that when you are wiping data, it may wipe the whole internal memory, not just data. It happened to me on some newer firmware. And then reboot again.
