What's up guys? I have been searching posts and have come up with an answer to my problem. Please forgive me if this is has been posted already and help me in the right direction.
I receive an error message when I try to flash any 4.4.2 Roms other than Paranoid Android
Set_metedata_recursive:some changes failed
E:Error is /(ROM location)
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

I have tried using the latest recoveries both cm and twrp. Same result
I reverted back to Unrooted and lock stock. Same result.

Please Help! Flashaholic going through withdrawals

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Never Mind found fix!

Are you flashing the rom from internal memory or SD card?

The 'Status 7' error is only due to not using the most current recovery (TWRP = 2.6.3.1 and CWM Touch = 6.0.4.3)... if you have one of those, then move the rom file to your SD card and flash from there.

I've run both recoveries and haven't encountered that error since I updated to the newest... however, I always install from my SD card.
