Okay I'm a noob
I started with Jellybean 4.2 on my Nexus Tablet Stock I rooted it then started trying out roms. I didn't like any of the roms that are out that are on the 4.2.1 build of jellybean (not that the developers aren't doing a great job just I'm too new at this to mess with bugs too much). I decided to go back to my rooted stock 4.2 backup. Then I found out the new liquidsmooth rc9 came out and I like liquidsmooth since I have been using it on my phone(Samsung Hercules). I decided I wouldn't mind downgrading to 4.1.2 build rom until 4.2.1 builds got more bugs fixed. I couldn't get it on quite right and finally just wiped the whole thing with fastboot (total wipe install stock rom lock bootloader then unlock then root). I tried flashing liquidsmooth again and I got an error:
script aborted: symlink: some symlinks failed
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /sdcard/goomanager/pa_grouper-2.99-19NOV2012-210915.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I thought maybe it had to do with the build I was flashing from so I used fastboot to downgrade the bootloader to 3.41 so I could flash the 4.1.2 using fastboot which worked and now I'm in stock 4.1.2 but I still get the same error when I try to flash any rom leading me to believe there is something deeper wrong with my tablet that I'm missing and I can't find anything in the forums pertaining to this error on the Nexus 7
I uploaded the CWM Recovery Log from when I was doing the flash of paranoiddroid so Hopefully somebody could help me.
Thanks in advance and Yes I know how to use the thank you button too and not shy about it.
Okay so have an update I completely wiped my nexus 7 and reinstalled the stock 4.2.1 jop40d using fastboot and locked then unlocked the bootloader just to make sure and I had no problem flashing Liquidsmooth RC9. I tried flashing paranoid android 2.99 betasix again and same errors came up again. So I tried wiping my recovery and flashing TWRP instead of clockwork mod and then flashed paranoid again and everything worked out great. So maybe something to do with clockworkmod.
Hello,
I am in serious problem and need your help asap
So this is the thing:
I got a nexus 4 running rooted srock 4.2.1 official ROM. I was trying to update to 4.2.2 with OTA update. The problem was it has an "assert problem (status 7)" with the file /system/app/PlusOne.apk. Maybe it was a mistake but I tried to format /system through the recovery. Again, I tried to install the update. this time, it has the same assert problem but with the build.prop file.
Since then, the nexus is stuck on the google logo and won't boot. I've tried to wipe dada/cashe/anything else and it didn't fix the problem. I also tried to install again the stock rom through the Nexus 4 Toolkit without any luck.
I have no idea what to do.. The only thing I can do is go in the fastboot/recovery menu, but can't boot in any way..
Please help me
Thanks in advance.

By formatting /system, you have effectively deleted Android OS. That's why your phone won't boot up. And without Android, you can't get into ADB (that's why the toolkit won't work. Reflash the stock images (guide can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312) and you should be fine.

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.

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
I am trying to flash the Kitkat 4.4 KRT16O from my current rom 4.3 JWR66Y and no matter what I do I keep getting the following:
Warning: No file_contextsVerifying current system...
"/system/app/YouTube.apk" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in sd/sdcard/0/Download/romfilename
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
I switches custom recovery from CWM to TWRP and I still get this error. Can someone PLEASE help me to resolve this issue. I have wiped all data and need help to get pass this error.
Thanks in advance.

OTAs can only be applied to a non modified rom. Try flashing the system partition of 4.3 JWR66Y and then run the OTA to 4.4 KRT16O.
Even better since you already wiped all data and have nothing to lose, just flash the factory image of 4.4.
