Hello,
Firstly, my device is the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB Ram variant.
I was using the Pixel Experience rom as my daily ROM (I don't remember which build), it worked fabulously. But I hadn't updated it in a few months. So after enough procrastination I decided to update. I tried the regular software update method where you go to settings and check for updates, when it booted to TWRP recovery, it failed with an error. I thought it was because the update was the latest one and I was on an older build. So I tried doing a clean install by booting into recovery and wiping everything except internal storage. But the same error popped up again
I don't remember the exact error but it was an Error 7 and said something about the 'firmware version' required is 15.2016.1901.339 or newer. At first I didn't really get it and I kept trying again.
But after spending some hours it started making some sense and so I tried to install the required firmware. Even after doing so, the error kept showing up.
I thought it might be a ROM specific error. So I also tried Resurrection Remix (Pie version) but it yielded the same Error 7. This is the phone I use on a daily basis so I had to get it working somehow. So I flashed the stock ROM, the one that comes out the box. I flashed it using the flashall_AFT.cmd, I'm on the stock ROM now and it's obviously nothing like a custom ROM.
I also tried editing the updater script from the ROMs and deleting the part that was about the error (the first few lines). That didn't work either. The Error 7 was gone but another Error 6 popped up which said it failed to install.
I'd love to go back to using a custom ROM. It bugs me because I couldn't find any way to fix the error.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you can guide me step-by-step on how to install the custom ROM from where I am now i.e from the stock and fix the error.
I hope the above information suffices.
Thanks.

Most pie roms are base on the latest stock pie firmware, you probably need to flash that. Plus Ur twrp version is probably not the newest, all the links are available in the telegram group, and I'm not going to put them here out of respect for the devs. But .339 firmware is the Oreo firmware, I think the one u need to flash is the .050 firmware.
The telegram groups have them all and a little searching can give you all the links you need.

The latest Pixel Experience works great!
So you are on the Stock Firmware then.
1) Unlock the bootloader by Unofficial method (It will help when you want to relock it in future.)
2) Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
3) Download whatever ROM you want to install and read all the requirements first! The error 7 you mentioned was the Firmware issue and could have been fixed by flashing the Firmware first and then the ROM.
GApps are not required for Pixel Experience as it comes with all the necessary Google Apps.

Hey guys, I am having some issues flashing roms through CWM as well as rerooting.
A bit of backround info
Device: GT-P7510
Started with latest OTA stock rom. I was wanting to use titanium backup to uninstall some bloatware.
Rooted successfully following the wifi only version forum post on how to root.
Did what i wanted, but now i wanted more.
Decided to try to get Jellybean on my device. Loaded into CWM - flashed - successful.
Now i ran into the issue of no flash support - needed for school work i do on my tablet. Tried to follow guide on installing flash.. did not work, tried the titanium backup method as well with no prevail.
Decided to flash back to ICS. I chose the CM9 ROM.
Loaded into CWM - wiped data / cache/ dalvik / Installed rom from SD card - flashed successfully
I noticed that my home button was not working. so after another data wipe etc. and re flash of the rom it did.
I then could not get googleplay to function just kept getting server error no matter what i tried. I tried installing apk from the web. did not work. and tried loading gapps.zip through odin. Installed other google apps that did work, just not google play..
So i was like holy hell. what to do now. Tried installing another ICS ROM ( the one that mimics jellybean)... It fails instantly after unloading package or something of that nature. I tried about 3 different roms and get the same issue.
So i then followed the guide to unroot - it required flashing the stock ROM through CWM . I tried this but got a status 7 error. Not really sure what that was so i found another guide.
The alternative guide had me load the original ROM for the device via odin. Worked great!!! I thought i was in clear sailing. Updated to the OTA ICS ROM. And then went to follow the root guide again. It acted as if it was rooted, but upon reboot option in CWM it says root access might have been lost.. do you want to fix. I tried both no and yes. Reguardless i do not gain root.
I tried flashing other roms through CWM - they all fail instantly ( not with any specific error messages ) just says aborted.
Any idea on what i may be doing wrong?
What version of cwm u using ?
5.5.0.4 works best for our tabs coz he has not got some verification for unsigned zips something like that .
Hmm i think the problem is when u updated ota it took your root away so i would suggest flashing cf-root again via odin
Just guessing though really strange, perhaps back up data on sd card and format it too i know its a pain but could help aswell
;/
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
I was on 6. something. So that may be my issue.
I did try an older version v4.0.0.4 which was included in the guide i used but that did not seem to work either. I will download that version and see what happens.
As far as flashing cf-root. I am going to do a forum search but the method i used used the file Samsung_galaxy_tab_10.1_root.zip through CWM.
it is always risk to Odin back to stock and update OTA I have bricked 2 android devices by doing this .......once you install custom roms it is always better not to install official update ..... ur device is not rooted properly just go to unrooted stock rom if possible and later get root.zip then try rooting ur tab using it .......and this might help ...... forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971..........
CHEERS
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED
Hi there,
my 802 is running on TWRP after I updated to the latest stock ROM (30D Europe Open). Unfortunately due to problems mentioned in another thread I cannot install a custom ROM currently. Does anyone here have a mirror for me where I can download a TWRP backup of the stock ROM?
Thank you in advance
If you can't install a custom rom, what makes you think you can install a stock? It's pretty easy.
Very helpful... I flashed the latest KDZ on the G2, rooted it and installed TWRP 3.0.2.0, so far so good (believe it or not I flashed a dozen other android devices before). However when I try to install a Marshmallow ROM it gives me Error 7, so that means that getprop.device or so doesnt bring the correct value up. Now when I tried to switch to an older TWRP which is supposed to not have that Error 7 issue (2.7.0.0) I get an error saying I am missing the Loki files in the tmp folder. Now I do not know how to get around the Error 7 (the fix that is mentioned on here didnt work for me, brings up Error 6 instead) I would like to return to a stock backup.
How about giving me actual advice or leaving and letting other people help?
Edit: Booted in Download Mode and flashed v30D KDZ with the 2014 LG Flashtool. Works with Stock ROM for now
Hello,
I'm having big problems flashing any ROM on my Oneplus 5 atm.
At the beginning of this month, I wanted to unroot my rooted Android 8.0 or 8.1 (One of them, it was OxygenOS, but not the newest version)+ Xposed Oneplus 5.
I got a couple of errors, most of the time error 7.
After hours, old and new recoverys (TWRP) from blu_spark, codeworkx and some xda user recoverys and diffrent OxygenOS versions i finally managed it to install a Oxygen version with Android 7.1.1 on the phone. The Problem was: I always got errors (Installation failed) when I wanted to intall Software Updates no matter if I tryed it by myself or with the official system update in android.
So and today the official beta build of OxygenOS for 9.0 released and I was so stupid and thought I can make this an easy one.
Now I'm sitting here since 9:30am and try to flash Android 9, or any Android except 7.1.1 (only Oxygen Versions). Most of the Time i'm getting ERROR:7, it doesnt matter with which Recovery or Build.
When I got this problem at the first Time, my Phone was shown as "" (The error was something like: This Package is for a "Oneplus 5" this is a "").
When I get this scentence now (not every Recovery is showing it) it says my Phone is a "OnePlus5T", but i have a Oneplus 5.
Also (maybe partly) important things are:
- I tryed to edit the updater-script and delete the assets lines but there were no asset lines. Tryed it anyways and it didnt work. (and i really dont want to try this again)
I tryed to google this error for hours and many people meant that this is the way to go but I dont belive it. Isn't there any way to rename my phone, if yes: what do I have to do? I have TWRP and access to the command prompt aswell. If anyone can successfully create the 9.0 beta without the assets I would be happy but i dont think that is the solution for my problem, just a workaround.
- I think the problem is just something about my devices name. The strange part is that it accepted 7.1.1. And this was 100% a Oneplus 5 ROM.
- 7.1.1 isnt the way to go for me anymore. I dont like android 7 and it has so old security patches..
- Fingerprint sensor and screen got replaced
thank you for reading this and maybe helping me. I dont have the best language skills, if you need more Information about my Phone, please ask
EDIT1: As I said, 7.1.1 is still successfull, i tryed it a couple of mins ago. no error 7 or sth
maybe you can try revert to fully stock setup{without TWRP) and update to pie?
I have problem with error 7 when i tried to flash latest open beta (pie). I didn't find any solution.... :crying:

Make sure the download isn't corrupt or if you extract the compatibility.zip use a recommended tool.
I had this problem couple of months ago. I solved it by flashing an old os version then flashing stock recovery(I don't remember if I locked the bootloader). boot in to the phone and download and update through ota( I did 3 updates this way). Then install twrp and root. Now I can flash any oos update without error 7.
May work
This is a post I wrote for another thread. I have found that this method fixes the error 7 issue, and allows you to update all the way to Pie without issues. When updating to Pie, use 7-Zip, not winrar or any other non-recommended programs to remove compatibility.zip from the firmware archive before flashing. I found that winrar causes treble errors or error 7.

Yeah, that's what I wrote here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/massive-problems-error7-t3878372/post78503983 and in flashing instructions for open beta and stable builds in their first posts.

That's good, It's good advice. I am just stressing to everyone in this thread, how important it is to follow that and use a recommended tool to remove compatibility.zip because removing compatibility.zip sounds very trivial thing, but it's actually really important to use a tool like 7-Zip that doesn't break the firmware in the process.
Also, the link to my other post ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523940&postcount=13 ) should be detailed and comprehensive enough to help people with error 7 in other scenarios or that are trying to update to oreo or other stock firmwares too. This method restores the phone back to factory condition, including all the partitioning. Updating with a locked bootloader can fix a lot of update errors. I've found that after 5.1.5 it is safe to unlock the bootloader and take updates. But as you mentioned, for an unlocked bootloader, compatibility.zip needs to be removed from the firmware archive, and a tool such as 7-Zip must be used to do so as other archive managers break the update entirely (with error 7).
Good luck everyone trying to update, hope our advice helps :good:
So I flashed OOS 5.0.1 then went back to stock recovery. I then locked my bootloader. After which I booted into OxygenOS and updated it all the way to pie(took 3 OTAs). Now I've got a locked bootloader and pie but I'm wondering if the process to unlock the bootloader is the same or different now that there is a vendor drive?

I tried to install a custom rom on a a6000. I installed the lolipop stock rom on top of the KitKat stock rom, and managed to boot to it without a problem. I then installed TWRP installed is: 3.3.1-0, and tried to install a custom rom (more specifically I tried this unofficial Lineage). For some reason, the installation fails with:
e3004: This package is for device: Kraft-T, a6000, K30-T,A6000, Kraft-W, Kraft-C, k30t, msm8916,Kraft-A6000,wt86518; this device is .
Updated process ended with ERROR 7

when booting into the stock lolipop rom installed I can see that the device is the A6000. I find it strange how the recovery doesn't write which device it is on this error message.
What am I missing here? Usually with other phones, as long as you manage to install a custom recovery then it's a breeze. I cannot figure out how the custom roms don't get installed. Any help appreciated
Managed to flash it in the end. The flash files contain assertions checking if the zip is okay to be flashed on the device (whether the model is the one intended for example).
I found it strange that the error message did not show the model of my device as I was 100% sure it is a A6000 and that is a ROM intended for it.
I ended up overriding the assertion in the file, which seemed to be straightforward to do and the image was flashed without any issues.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME unless you are 10000% sure the image is intended for the device. ?

Hi... Actually you can flash custom ROM on Lenovo a6000.
Im also using Lenovo a6000 and I'm running custom ROM.... feel free to Reply if u need any help..I'm glad to see that you will.?
Hi, Hoping someone can help me with my recent goofup.
I was running a version of LineageOS. Now I hadnt used the tablet for a while during the xmas break. But the last week I took out and it had rebooted on me randomly a few times. After which I decided to put a stock rom back on.
i downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and attempted to install the ROM via odin but the tablet kept rebooting me after the install process
after a few failed attempts on various ROM. I thought it might be easier to go back LineageOS so i loaded twrp back on and have been trying ever since to LineageOS 16.0
I downloded the ROM's - lineage-16.0-20200128-nightly-gts28vewifi-signed. When I try to install the ROM after following the instructions of wiping the device I get this "zip signature verification failed"
my tablet is SMT-713 so am pretty sure gts28vewifi is correct. Please can someone help me out on clues on how I get passed the hurdle.
yes such a goofup. i should have just cleared the ROM instead of attempting to put a stock rom on
Which stock ROM did you download? Was it the latest software? Fair warning, I'm a T813 owner, so I don't know anything about the T713 really, just that it's fairly similar. If you installed the wrong ROM, or the an older one, Lineage won't install. I created this guide, for the T813 about updating the firmware on it because of the firmware / install issues on LOS.
