I couldnt find any fix or helpful answers elsewhere on the web
Many of you are aware of the status 7 installation abort when trying to install a new rom
Ive been tinkering since last night trying to get miui 2.10.12 on my nexus 7 and every time I get a "Installation Abort (Status 7)
how do I get it to finish installation?
ive tried with multiple roms, CM10, MIUI, Kang all have same result
I have clockwork mod installed, from rom manager
I made sure I wipe data and cache and also davlik cache
any suggestions?
and i thank everyone in advance
I think you will hopefully get more joy posting in the Q&A section.
I have read that it can be fixed by fastbooting stock and then re-rooting though. If you can make backups first, you should, because this will wipe everything.

download TWRP for the Nexus 7 (grouper) Here : http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
Since your rooted you can use a simple app to flash the Image. Download and install the free app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790150&highlight=flash+gui
Open the free app and select the option for Recovery Image. Hit Browse and find the recovery image you downloaded and select it.Once finished hit flash image. It will ask you to confirm this image is a recovery image. Hit yes and it'll flash.
Then reboot to recovery, you can do this by using Terminal Emulator from the market issue this command
Code:
su *hit enter*
adb reboot recovery
If that doesnt work.. remove "adb" I forget if you need it or not :S
This should put you into TWRP Recovery.. go ahead and flash your ROM. Make sure you follow the proper procedure. I recommend this
1.Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3.Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Format /System
then proceed to flash the ROM and Gapps. and Reboot.

If you're going that route.. you might as well just use fastboot to reflash recovery instead of the app.
Download the same image i linked to earily. While in the bootloader issue this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Make sure you have the Command Prompt in the same directory as the recovery image.
So say its in your downloads folder on your computer open CMD and cd to that directory.
Code:
cd C:\Users\Name\Downloads
Or just open yoru downloads folder and Shift + Right click and select "open command window here" then issue the fastboot command.

Ill write you up a quick tutorial.
First download this zip it contains adb and its .dll's needed to be executed and fastboot.exe for flashing
http://db.tt/EOwGUAPV
Unzip it and put that TWRP image in the same folder.
Then in that folder Shift + Right click and select open command prompt here.
Then type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into the bootloader. Once in the bootloader do this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Hopefully your smart enough to realize that means type in the name of the recovery not exactly what that says.. for instance openrecovery-twrp... etc etc.
Then once its finished writing the recovery hit the volume up until the "Start" Says Recovery Mode. Then hit the power button. You should now be booting in the TWRP. Then flash your ROM.

How do I download it to my phone if I cannot boot into it. Is there any way I can copy a zip file (rom) onto the phone's internal memory.?
Your phone should boot into recovery, so as long as it goes on and boots all u do u is use ur pc to move file over and flash it...

Boot into bootloader (hold power and system on), flash the though recovery through adb, mount your .zip,, flash your .zip through recovery. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I've been drinking with the roommates, lol.

Which state is your phone in right now? Is it bootlooping or in recovery?

The same thing happened to me also! The whole /data (incl. sdcard) partition went corrupt (showed up in TWRP as eemc instead of ext4) & the /vendor failed to mount.
First I had to repair the /data partition (unfortunately the data was lost, as it repaired to a blank partition). I ended up having to go home (was at work at the time) & hook the phone up to the PC & download the ROM & transfer it onto the sdcard. I'm not entirely sure why/how this happened, but I believe it was because a corrupt vendor IMG. Although that theory doesnt include why the /data partition corrupted, it only explains why the /vendor partition failed to mount.

I have the same issue. The problem is, that my computer will not recognize the phone in bootloader mode or in recovery mode(MTP enabled). How can install usb drivers without being able to boot into phone OS???? I've tried Nexus Toolkit with no success. Please help?
Have a look here how to load in bootloader, flash, etc.

So I did the same thing. I'm sitting in TWRP right now but have nothing on the phone. Will I be able to reboot from TWRP into the bootloader and just use the flash-all command to get my phone to boot back up, then just go through the process of custom recovery again?
Basically I'm worried about leaving twrp without an OS. I didn't wipe bootloader did I? Also, I tried to download a ROM and just drag it to internal memory, but I can't seem to add anything to the internal memory.

Hi... Just boot into recovery and reflash system.img from the factory image of your choice in bootloader with fastboot. Also flash the vendor image from the same factory image. Done...
Or reflash the whole package with flash all (manually is better imho). But you'll waisted time... Let your phone reboot into Android and you'll have your internal storage back.

Yes TWRP has a reboot to bootloader option available. So you can access fastboot via bootloader to flash the necessary images. Just don't forget to re flash TWRP image again in case the stock recovery image was flashed beforehand.
The odd thing was that I did choose that option to boot to bootloader in twrp and it didn't work. I ended up having to reboot to bootloader manually. Not a big deal. All is working now, but thought that was interesting.

Exactly which partitions did you wipe? system? data? Internal Storage (userdata)? all of the above? Hopefully you did not wipe userdata (all your stuff). Were you on a stock ROM? You should be able to d/l the Google image from the same build you were on, extract system and data and fastboot flash those. Don't flash userdata. All your stuff should be there. Follow the tutorial on how to set up fastboot and selectively flash partitions.

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a few issues after I've gone through the bootloop fix that was posted a while ago.
I've got the phone up and running (YAY!) but it's really slow. I understand there is a zip file that can be "side loaded" but I'm not sure how that's done. I boot into the recovery mode but it asks for a password. When I cancel and just go to install there are no files that can be found, even though I copied the file into several directories on the phone.
The second thing is that despite being set to US English I don't seem to have assistant anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.

I don't have an install/flash image in the bottom right.
The Install button is located at the top left, there are no files when I go in there, and the directory list seems like it's missing stuff.
There is also Wipe, backup, restore, mount, settings, advanced, and reboot.
on the advanced screen i have copy log, fix contexts, file manager, terminal reload theme and adb sideload.

When you browse your internal storage, you see no files/folders? Completely blank? That means you probably need to factory reset your phone once... Wipe everything including the internal storage, and did you get an option at the startup of twrp, the read only settings? And slide to confirm? Did you slide that button?

Ok. I'm obviously screwing this all up.
I downloaded the file, and then went to the boot screen. I entered: ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-angerl.img that worked fine. Then I rebooted the bootloader. Then tried to go into recovery and it attempted to load, paused, rebooted and then went to normal bootup. So you're suggesting at this point that I wipe the phone and reinstall the entire 7.1.1 as well as the twrp recovery, and the bootloop fix. Then I should be able to download and install the zip file that will help with the speed issue.

What!? After flashing the recovery you weren't able to boot into the recovery? Something is wrong I think.. maybe you entered wrong command while flashing... As you said that worked fine so did you see something like "completed in xx.xx seconds" ? After flashing the recovery? You you have, it should be working fine..

Before you start over,try renaming the official TWRP to just that(TWRP) That's what their website suggests. From their site:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Ok. So I am going to have to wipe the phone and install again. I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
I will restart the phone into bootloader, then reinstall the entire OS from the start. (PATH="$PATH:/user.../ ./flash-all.sh)
That will reinstall the OS from the file I downloaded from Google.
From there I will then reinstall TWRP recovery and their fix. Then, once I've booted up the phone I will load the zip file onto it, and it should become visible in the file directory in the recovery mode.
Am I right in this?
Thanks for your help.
After I reboot my recovery, the TWRP would lost.
Try flashing it again. Failed the first time for me as well.
usually, losing twrp after boot is due to the lack of root on your system.
Are you rooted?

I had the same issue i have the twrp.img you need the one your using will not stick after reboot. i tried uploading it but it exceeds the file size that's allowed on here. And i can't remeber where i got it so i can't post the link. i have that twrp file and supersu you need and they work perfect. Go to facebook and look for DroiderX that's my page i just posted the files. flash the TWRP via ADB fastboot flash recovery then drag the file into the CMD air page. Then reboot from fastboot to recovery before it reboots using the phone it'll go into TWRP then copy and paste the supersu to the phone and simply flash SU using TWRP. works perfect and it will stay after reboot i was using them but i'm still updating. The files you need are at DroiderX via FB. your welcome.

Ok. Here's a issue there's a storage issue and it is with TWRP that is looking for a SD so it's showing no storage so your camera will not work and you cannot download any files due it trying to place them into the SD card. So all I see is the storage issue I tried to figure it out with no success.
After flashing twrp you need to flash supersu. If you don't do it you will loose recovery

You shouldn't lose recovery because that's flashed to to the recovery partition, you don't need root to keep twrp. I'd like to see if someone else could try it and the storage no be looking for a SD card I couldn't DL nothing from Android file host or anywhere except the play store it would.
Ok I am sure I did this before without any problem, but this time, through TWRP on the NRTK, I installed Magisk, no problems, and then went back to install the SU with the zip file in TWRP again and then on the reboot it freezes on the Google startup screen.
I didnt even want to install the SU zip, but when I ran SU after Magisk installed after reboot, SU gave an error, so I decided to install SU from TWRP.
Did I do something wrong there, so I dont repeat the same error next time?
And how do I get out of this locked state?
I've tried wiping all cache to factory reset without deleting internal storage data... I am hoping I dont have to delete and wipe everything and start all over. I did not have a chance to eve install TiB yet.

Flash the stock boot.img from the image/rom you were using before this and reboot. You will have to re-root (properly) afterwards, but your phone should boot up. If you use Magisk, you don't need SU, and vice versa. Use only one method to root.

Hmmm ya I prob should have posted that SU error message instead of what I did, douche move.
But how do I flash the boot.img... I have an original copy of it on my PC... can I somehow while in TWRP on the phone connect to my PC via cable and run commands from my PC in CMD and execute that old boot.img flash? Or is there a location in the stock Nexus already I can use? Because there is no file in the root drive after I did the soft wipe.
P.S. Everything I have done so far has not deleted my whole storage, yet.... not sure if that is necessary at this point bec it seems reflashing the boot.img wipes absolutely everything again? If I have to it is what it is... just painful when this happens before I could get TiB running... unless my Nandroid backup file I have will restore and work after I do this?

While in TWRP you have MTP (file transfer) so you can add files to your device. Transfer the boot.img over to your device via MTP and then use TWRP to flash. Just be sure to select flash IMAGE rather than ZIP. Lesson here is when you get back up and running, install fastboot/adb and make sure it is working well and communicating with your PC. Then you can learn how to use it. This would take literally 5 seconds to flash via fastboot (device in bootloader mode).

NO, flashing boot.img will not delete any of your files. It will only write to the boot partition. If using fastboot the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yep I actually had those platform files already, and yes the MTP was active there, I just never tried that before so didnt know it was even a possibility or the right way.
So I tried via flashing my very old boot.img and also the one from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684
via TWRP "Install" via image install (not zip) and to the "boot partition"
and no change, same stuck on Google logo screen.
I tried the fastboot command from CMD and it says
< waiting for any device >
and doesnt do anything. I had it on the default TWRP menu screen.... I waited over 20 min although I know it shouldnt take near that long, just in case.
My bootloader is unlocked BTW, I dont want to assume anything here.
You need help getting the latest fastboot/adb binaries working on your PC. So many tutorials on how to do this. Ugh.

Which OS security patch were you running? Flash the system (to the system partition in TWRP) and boot images (again) from the 6P factory image of the same name:

See if this helps.

Not sure what you mean... I JUST did all that when I redid my phone completely back to factory etc etc.... just few weeks ago and then again on my new replacement. But just to be sure, I downloaded all those files again today and it didnt make any difference.
Still stuck on the
< waiting for any device >
I have to be missing some other step or something else is wrong here.
FYI not sure if this matters but when phone boots to recovery there's a red error message
"Unable to mount storage"
but it loads to TWRP fine anyways.

Yep thats what I been doing.....
So the CMD command still doesnt work, which I think is weird in itself... and when I try to install from recovery, it goes through the whole process, both boot.img and system.img, but then it freezes on the Google logo again, so no change.
Sorry I am not sure what security patch, I just got this used from eBay, and one thing, not sure if this means anything, it says its a beta version or something and that message came up all the time when I rebooted when the phone was working.
Do I need to suck it up and redo the whole phone again........ :/
