Hi there,

I flashed a KitKat port to test it. However, I decided to go back to Cyanogenmod since it didn't work very well.

However, any ROM that I try to flash appears this error:

format() expects 5 args, got 3
E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/cm-7.2.0-p500.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

what can I do to fix this? thanks :)

To flash that KitKat, you had to place a newer CWM or TWRP recovery version.
To flash cm-7.2, you need to go back to the older recovery!

For KitKat ROMs a recovery equivalent to 6.0.4.5 or newer is required to flash. The newer recoveries are capable of flashing CM 10.2 to CM11. All older Android versions will require the use of an older recovery, pre 6.0.4.5, such as CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch by vivekkalady.
