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.

what ive been doing is not making any backups (nothing important to save) and just using nexus toolkit to flash back stock and starting over and trying new way every time
still nothing though after about the 20th time
No idea then sorry. Stick with rooted stock?

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.

I tried to update to 4.2.2 manually and got stuck in a bootloop. The first time, I got an error message (attached) and rebooted, so I went into Voodoo Root protector and deleted my backup of SU thinking that could be the problem. I tried again, got the same error, and now I'm in a bootloop. I am on stock Android 4.2.1 and using Franco Kernel r72. Please help me.

If you have unlocked bootloader, download Nexus 4 image from here, unzip it to get the various factory images and then flash using fastboot. If you have locked bootloader, you will have to unlock it using
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
.
CAUTION: This will wipe all data.
Follow this guide to re-root and install CWM.

Is there any way for me to keep my data? How do I cleanly do it? If I do need to wipe data, what do I do? Do I just go into CWM and tell it to wipe the data and then flash the operating system? I saw some instructions that had me flashing all sorts of stuff (i.e. radios etc). Sorry for all the questions.

yes, in cwm. wipe data then flash the rom. you can try just reflashing your rom first, without wiping data. if it still bootloops, then wipe data and reflash. flashing the system img via fastboit will wipe everything.

Since you aren't running the stock kernel, one of the kernel modules failed an md5sum check for a patch and the install stopped before attempting to patch a file that wasn't equal to what it was expecting.
a wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode can solve this bootloop, especially after you have just flashed a ROM.

Flashing from fastboot will automatically clear all data. There should be a system.img file. Flash it using
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
But to make a clean install, I would recommend you flash all the factory images. Refer this for more detail.

Flashing the factory images will have restored the stock kernel.
If you are going to flash a factory image or anything like that, watch this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039162
after you flash that ROM, if your phone stucks in a bootloop, then go to Recovery, wipe cache and reset factory will solve the problem.

na, the kernel is always included in the rom. you flash a kernel if you want to use a different kernel(trinity is great with stock).
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your help. I have flashed stock 4.2.2 to my phone and have finished setting everything up. I really appreciate the quick responses and dedication to my issue. It means a lot to me that you guys helped me in my time of need. Thanks again.

Modified boot.img of a rom is required to be flashed on that rom so that it works with TWRP.
Enabling ADB during first boot creates a way out in case your phone bootloops or stuck at MI logo and also hardbricked.
Many people hardbricked their phone while flashing MIUI based roms through TWRP, and they had to test-point to bring their phone back to life, my mod enables adb during boot and so people who used my mod and hardbricked their phone can access adb when their phone is stuck at MI logo or bootlooping and thus revive their phone.
Tools needed:-
1)Notepad++ (google it and download)
2)Android Image Kitchen(AIK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3638835&d=1454959265
Steps:-
1)Download the required rom and extract its boot.img
2)Copy the boot.img to AIK folder and drag boot.img and drop it on unpackimg.bat
3)Open ramdisk folder and look for default.prop , open them with Notepad++
4)Editing default.prop Note:- This will enable adb at first boot
5)Change
Code:
ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=none to persist.sys.usb.config=adb
delete the line ro.secureboot.devicelock=1 if present
OR (Alternate way)(recommended)
open ramdisk and look for fstab.qcom, open with notepad++ and search for ",verify" (without quotes) and delete it and save.
6)Now execute repackimg.bat, a image-new.img file will be compiled.
7)Flash the image-new.img through TWRP or through fastboot using "Fastboot flash boot image-new.img"
That's all
P.S:- Remember only use Boot.img specific for the miui version you wanna run, boot.img version not matching with MIUI version
will cause the Wifi to stop working.
Press thanks If this helped.:good:
Any queries feel free to ask me.:laugh:
Does the modified boot.img procedure need to be done for every ROM or just for the MIUI ROMs? I want to install the AOSP ROM and later CM 13 but I'm still not sure about the whole flashing process.

Thank you! I just did it. It has booted and almost over in the "Optimizing apps" window. Thing is, I did forget to wipe system, data and cache before flashing, should I do it again or will it be fine like this?
EDIT: I rebooted the phone into recovery, wiped system, data and cache, flashed the ROM zip and wiped cache and dalvik cache. I booted the phone and it showed the Mi logo, then 4 circles screen flying around (green, red, blue and yellow) and it has been like this for like 5 min now.. Did I do something wrong? I'm starting to worry to be honest.

are you sure you are using the boot.img of the MIUI version you are flashing? there is two 7.2.3.0 version of boot.img one for global and one for china. Anyway try this and see if wifi works, goto TWRP(I hope you've already deleted the emmc_appsboot file), select mount and then tick on mount system as read only. Then flash the rom. This method will replace TWRP with MIUI recovery but your wifi should start working.

Hello, I've followed a certain tutorial and flashed a fastboot Rom with modified emmc file in attempt to unlock bootloader by force because, even after two weeks of trying, I can't get a confirmation SMS from xiaomi to confirm sending an unlock request. After doing it and flashing TWRP onto my device, I'm still unable to enter recovery. Just shows a picture of device and a disconnected usb cable. I need to flash SuperSU in order to get root access.
Because this device is getting me really confused, please answer a couple of questions for me.
If I flash a recently uploaded global stable ROM 7.2.3.0. and flash TWRP with a modified boot image from this tutorial, will I finally be able to enter recovery and install SuperSU?
Flashing will probably relock my bootloader. Is it possible for me to finally enter TWRP and flash SuperSU after flashing the new boot image?
I've thought that I could enter TWRP just by unlocking the bootloader but it seems that I've missed something. I can't remember last time a phone got me this confused.
My only goal here is being able to enter TWRP and rooting my phone, I gave up on unlocking the bootloader officially because I can't ever get that confirmation SMS.
I appreciate the help!! :fingers-crossed:
Can anyone here point in the right direction to guide me through DP5 root? TWRP hangs on splash screen when attempting to install. Thanks!

TWRP can't decrypt the N system right now. So it will stay stuck on the splash screen.
The most common way around here, is to decrypt your device's storage. Once, you have decrypted, you will be able to access the recovery, and flash the latest SuperSU zip for root.

Be advised that decrypting will wipe off your complete data, including that on the internal storage. So, backup first.
The first step would be to download the modified boot image for DP5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684 (Make sure that you download the correct file).
Next, reboot your device into bootloader mode and flash the boot image using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done, you will need to decrypt using the following command (Do not mix "fastboot erase" command with "fastboot format"):
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Finally, reboot your device. Now, you will be able to access TWRP and flash SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
This is great but unfortunately no joy - I'm still stuck on the TWRP splash screen when trying to enter recovery, after flashing the modified boot.img - in security it still show's encrypted?

Weird. I have followed the same drill about 2-3 times on DP5, and it works perfectly.
using CF Auto root works with Android N DP5. Don't need custom recovery.

Make sure boot loader is unlocked. I never had the CF Auto Root screen boot loop, it does boot loop a few times when booting afterwards but that's it finishing it up.
Last night I unencrypted my phone and twrp works fully so I could flash a custom kernel. It's sad that NP5 forces encryption and you have to flash the stock kernel with encryption disabled to unencrypted. I can provide a link if you're interested in that. It provides the kernel and step by step process.
Edit: didn't realize that one guy with the Droid Origin signature had the link also, I Googled and found it but this is how I unencrypted and everything last night. http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/ Props go out to that team.

I flashed Lineage Os 15.1 from stock feb. update rooted, it gets stuck in bootanimation and does not go into system, any solution?
U have twrp? Can u boot into it? If yes do a clean flash or use miflash to get back to stock
If u have TWRP installed then like @apexashwin said clean flash with the recommended process if u dont have twrp u can first boot your phone into TWRP for a while from fastboot commands and clean flash rom and if you want to go to stock use Mi Flash Tool data backup will be recommended .
Sry guys

Yes, I have TWRP installed, and i have tried with a lot of clean flashes, installing the rom and the steps that you know.
Nothing have worked, and i don't know what else to do.

Also tried with MiFlash, with the flash_all.bat, the flash_all_lock.bat, and all of that. ( in fastboot mode and edl mode, also tried with qfil )
Idc about my personal data, but if what you mean is the phone data... i have formated it a lot of times :/
I'm going to try with "tissot_images_7.8.23_7.1", i hope it works, but i'm thinking that it will give me the same result https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcWsWYQVGQ
I will write over here if i am able to solve it, and if not, i will write too.
