[q] status 7 : Rom won't flash

[Xintorrim]

I'm trying to port a 4.3 rom from Galaxy S3 to Nexus 4, but when I finally try to flash the rom I'm given the error Status 7 (symlink):

symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/port.zip
(Status 7)
Instalation aborted.

I took the error log from CWM and here is what is said:

minzip: Process function elected to fail (in inflate)
minzip: Error extracting "/system/lib/libSpenSkia.so"
failed to mkdir /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310: No space left on device
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310 to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin : making parents failed
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310 to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin : No such file or directory
script aborted: symlink: some symlinks failed

E:Error in data/media/0/port.zip (that's my rom's name)
(Status 7)

What should I do?

Are you using the latest CWM? You could also try TWRP to flash the rom.

I've heard twrp doesnt work with custom roms

All I have used on my N4 is TWRP and I've had no problems so far. I have tried Slim, Experience, Asylum, etc.

I've tried twrp but still no success. It must be a problem inside the rom

As a test, try TWRP with another 4.4 custom rom.

My custom ROM won't flash with CWM nor with TWRP. Tried to flash it using another custom ROM and it didn't work too. I really believe there's something wrong with my custom ROM or with the device itself. In another thread a user told me that "Like the error said. NO SPACE LEFT. So, increase the system Partition or delete some APK in the rom". I guess I can't delete any apk's and I don't know how to increase system Partition. Moreover, I don't know if that would even work. I'd like someone to help me with a solution based on the error log I posted before.

Flash first CyanogenMOD, then flash any other ROM and use TWRP for it!

Would it really make any difference?

What should I do?

Had this problem with my old xperia mini and this was the solution : (not sure it'll work, but give it a shot if you want to take the risk)

Download notepad ++
Open up the updater script and delete the first two lines I think.

I'm not a 100% sure this was all so best,
SEARCH FOR STATUS 7 ERROR IN THE XPERIA MINI FORUMS. YOU'LL GET YOUR ANSWER THERE.
