[Q] can't flash CM10 in CWM Recovery (Status 7)

Hi there,
I tried to go back from CM10.1 to CM7.2. I used Aroma Wiper to format to EXT3. Then I flashed CM7.2 and according to Recovery everything was okay. On boot attempt the phone keept stucking on the red Motorola logo. I couldn't access CWM anymore and had to flash JORDN_U3_97.21.51 via RSD Lite. I rooted the phone and installed 2ndInit.
I tried installing several CM7 mods. But they all keept stucking on Motorola logo. I decided to stay with CM10 then. When trying to flash CM10 I received following message (please see attachment)
symlink:some symlinks failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130709-NIGHTLY-mb520.zip
(status7)
Installation aborted.
What can I do to flash CM again. Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards
dutss

If your phone is MB525/526, then why are you trying a MB520 ROM?

You are right. I downloaded the wrong file. I downloaded cm-10.1-20130709-NIGHTLY_v2-mb526 but I get the same error message (I made another screenshot).

Try starting again from SBF, root, 2ndinit. Then try installing.
If it still doesn't work, download an old CM10 build (maybe November/December builds), flash it, then flash dual recovery v3 (in the development section) and then try flashing the latest build.

You need a recent (SELinux-aware) recovery
TWRP should be properly updated

[Q] Cannot flash any 4.4 roms. How to fix?

I am running the latest version of clockworkmod recovery on my 2012 Nexus 7. every time i try to flash a ROM I get "error 7, installation aborted" or simply "installation aborted" when trying to flash Cyanogenmod 11 or Purity ROM. Is there a way to fix this issue? Would using TWRP solve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Can't flash files on my backup Defy

I just tried to upgrade my backup Defy from 2.3 to CM11. I rooted it, installed 2ndInit and from there I'm trying to flash all the zips from Quarx' CM11 thread. The problem is it throws an error at the first one:

E:Error in /sdcard/cm11/new_bootstrap.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Did I miss a step?
