What is "Error flashing zip (Status 7)"? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got this twice lately, flashing different ROMs. Does anyone know what Status 7 means? Thanks!

Something to do with your recovery I think. Do you have a custom recovery? If so try flashing a new recovery and then try again ?

Hi, I use the latest version of TWRP. What do you recommend, CWM?
Edit: No, actually I use the last but one version. Will update and hope for the best.

[Q] Problem installing Franco.kernel

Hi everybody! I am quite new so please show some understanding recently I rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed rasbeanjelly ROM and trinity kernel. After a couple of days using it I decided to install Franco kernel.. So I downloaded it and installed it (thought so). When I boot up my nexus 7 the boot animation was still from trinity kernel, so I installed it again but same results. Please help :/ I install the kernels with CWM touch. Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
i installed mine with fastboot because as far as i know the kernel file was an .img file and not zip (which it has to be for using cwm).
but donot forget to wipe your davlik cache after installing the new kernel.
It's beacuse the Franco kernel doesn't have a boot animation but you can flash the file i added to this post.
There is both ways to install the kernel, also with .zip! I cannot post the link right now because I don't have posted 10 times but I can send it by pm . thanks though

How to upgrade Android version when on custom ROM

So all right, I thought that when a newer version of Android came out and I am for example on CM10.1, I can update the android version and ROM by flashing a new bootloader and baseband, then flash the ROM and Gapps you want.
But today I read about someone who didn't accomplish to install a 4.2.2 ROM when he was on 4.2.1 so he installed factory image.
Can someone now please tell me what you need to do, so I am prepared when KLP arrives.
Thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is to learn fastboot. You can download images from Google once released and manually flash each thing that you want to update. You just unzip the files and fastboot flash them to your phone.

I think I am misunderstood.
I meant how to upgrade android version if going from a custom rom to another custom rom.
So for example CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 and going to Xenon HD Android 5.0
Thats possible right?

Most developers list instruction on how to install from different custom roms in the install method if they differ (example post#2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075444). If not, you could post in the thread of the custom rom to see if there are any special steps for that rom. I would advise reading through the first few posts of the custom rom to make double sure they didn't explain how to first.

1. Download new factory image
2. Flash bootloader and radio
3. Flash new custom ROM
4. Done
It's not that hard really

But I do have to flash factory image in fastboot? No other ways by just using CWM?

You don't, bootloader and radio should be enough, but you WILL need fastboot to get that bit done

There is a flashable zip for that. So I can just use CWM when upgrading ROMs?

I personally prefer to use fastboot but if there is a ZIP then you could try that...

Why do you prefer that even of you install the same file? But the answer on my question is that I can install a 5.0 ROM if I just flash the new bootloader and baseband?
Thank you for helping me!
Yes, as I answered that earlier
As for why I prefer fastboot - I always like to do everything manually. I then know I'VE done things right as an updater-script in a CWM ZIP file could be wrong/corrupt. It's a safety thing. Plus, once it's done it's done so I wouldn't have to do it again unless I wanted to downgrade Android to 4.x

But with CWM you also have to flash once I think? Because you dont flash it on a ROM, but before a ROM so the baseband and bootloader will last untill you install another I think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Fastboot flashing is permanent - once flashed you don't have to do it again. A CWM ZIP can do the same but I, personally, DO NOT LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY. I don't know what else you want me to say?
Do what YOU want to do

Yeah but CM11 (or whatever it may be called) wont be ready as yes as Android 5.0 comes out, and I may use the stock ROM the first day it comes out, which I will flash in CWM so I wanted to know if I needed to do something else.

Please be more clear... If your are already on a custom recovery and want to change for ex currently on cwm and want to change it to twrp just flash the twrp zip and reboot, done. (Though not sure as I am still confused about your question)
You just flash a new recovery using fastboot, same as you did flashing the first custom recovery

This is why you shouldn't use a toolkit as then have no idea how to do anything yourself. Learn how to use fastboot/adb and you'll be a better person for it

No problem here with latest TWRP and stock Rom.
Cwm has some issues though.

Thanks, it worked
TWRP works fine.. thanks..
One more quick question, if I install TARDIS mod patch, will it affect when I move to another kernel on the same ROM?
Kernel patches need to be re-applied each time you change the kernel.
