Status 7 on Philz Recovery. Currently on Omega Rom with KT-SGS4 Kernel.

I never had this problem before until I either flashed Omega Rom or the KT-SGS4 kernel. I've flashed a lot of i9505 and T-Mobile variant roms on my S4 before and I never got the status 7 up until now. Actually, I got status 7 error once using the normal CWM recovery but the OP recommended Philz Recovery so I've been using it ever since with no problems. Any ideas why I'm getting this error all of a sudden?

Hi,
Does THIS help?
Second post.

[Q] Flashing ROM failure

Hi,
Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.
I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.
I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?
Help!?

It should just work.
Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.
What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.
ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

I'm using a stable version. I haven't downloaded any latest ones. How would i do that if I can't access the phone? Boot it to download then go from there?

are you sure you (even) flashed a (compatible) kernel?

Is there any difference between 19500 and 19505? I'll try a new CM download...knowing my uncertainty I probably got an incompatible rom.
How stable are the nightlies?

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.

So I redid TWRP, now what about CM 11? TWRP uses the jfltexx in its name...do I just use Odin to move CM?

So, I installed TWRP 2.7 and it worked. All is good, currently enjoying CM!!!

Now the battery is saying it's at 0%...how do I fix that?

Now my password isn't working for some reason. I did a restore with TWRP and now I can get into my phone. Fix?

Did you wipe before restoring?

No. I just tried it and the same problem occurred. It's no biggie, I can reformat the settings myself. Thanks for the help.

Help! I think something is wrong

Ok guys ..hi there. I am running PAC ROM 4.4.4..ok guys am having an issue ..i originally got this phone (i9500) with 4.4.2 kitkat touchwiz i rooted it and installed twrp 2.6.0.0 and all was well..Then i decided to install the ozcan rom 6.3 ...after flashing the rom...the first boot was stuck on Samsung logo ( and yes i advance wipe my phone several times using the mke2fs format) and this rom is for my model! So i was disappointed... Then i wiped again and tried to restore my backup which also led to a bootloop..soo i had no choice but to flash a next ROM... The rom that worked was 4.2.2 wanam lite (jellybean) ..i got tired of it and went to pac ROM now.i wanted to try the ozcan rom again.. It didn't work! I tried arrow rom..it didn't work ..and these worked for other i9500 users..so am wondering is my recovery outdated and not doing it correctly ? So the main question is WHY CANT I INSTALL A TOUCHWIZ KITKAT ROM??

You could try updating recovery. And maybe try to flash it via Odin (if that's possible)

Was on custom rom, flashed another and now bootloop.

Hey guys, I'll keep it short. I was rooted, installed TWRP, running Simple Rom and was just feeling to flash erobot. Flashed it doing full wipes and then rebooted, cool. Got to the samsung logo and within a second back to the note 4 screen. Okay I said, maybe the file I downloaded was corrupted or I installed it wrong. Did it over again, this time trying a few variations in the aroma installer (not installing xposed) thought maybe that was the problem. Bam same issue.
No worries I still had the old simple rom on the sd card. Went back with the same install and what do you know, that rom is now in a bootloop as well. Tried flashing through odin but I always get a nand write failed to start or something like that. Tried 3 different usb ports and same issue.
Am I missing something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So you are using the Exynos model? Last I checked there is this OJ5 bootloader which can't be downgraded from!

guys help me im having bootloop because i was trying to install the su suser .in my note 4 Note 4 N910C lolipop in tw recovery still boot loop? because i want to root it .send me a maasage thank you

Anyone?

Did you flash a kernel for your variant after flashing the ROM?

No but that is my next move today, had a feeling it might be the problem, I'll try it and report back.

Oj5 bl doesn't let the flash of older rom even lp 5.1.1 older then oj5 but erobot 12 and 13.4 are newest then oj5 so it must be something else like the supersu v2.65 have issues with some costum kernels try to flash v 2.45

Had the same problem, solved it by flashing cf auto root using ODIN.

can't you just flash the previous rom again??
Enter your recovery and flash your "old" rom
