[ troubleshooting ]


if you are getting this issue:
I'm on Locked bootloader and .55 with cmw and root.
Checked de MD5 and it is matching.

But when i install the zip package, i got the error:
Symlink: Some symlinks failed
E: error in /sdcard/LT26-DooMLoRD-JB-211_prerooted.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.


What can i do to fix that?:confused:
try this:
while still in recovery go to "Mounts and Storage" -> unmount /system

now flash the ROM again :)




if you are having this issue:
which CWM are u using?

are u getting Error Status 7 Assert failed?
Im getting this error so what can ido??

try this:

useful post:
For those getting error 7 try this:

Get into recovery and see. if /system is mounted, unmount it first!.
If it isn't mounted mount and unmount

The trick is that if it can't mount then it will fail with error 7. So if you can't mount and unmount don't flash DoomLord's Rom yet

You need the FIXED recovery that DoomLord uploaded.

Now we have to fix the script DoomLord uploaded. Download DoomLord's fixed recovery and right click the install.bat file and select edit.
Near the end of the file there is the line that says reboot. erase that line!!

It seems there are times the reboot is too fast and the recovery install is interrupted. So we will have to reboot the phone manually.

Now save the file and run it. As you can see in the script's last lines they begin with the word su. That means it is asking for root. If your phone has root there is a chance a dialog appears asking for permission. say yes!!! if it doesn't ask maybe a toast message will appear saying "shell has been granted root permissions"

Anyway you should be checking your phone's screen constantly

If you see either the toast or dialog then we are fine to reboot and it will automatically enter recovery. repeat step 1 to verify if you can mount and unmount /system.

If you didn't see any of those then you might not have root and need to root first!

If after all this you can mount and unmount /system then you shouldn't have trouble to flash just remember to unmount /system before flashing the room.

That's it good luck.

Click thanks if I helped you.

its still a bit jittery... but that could be because of a fresh install...




not really sure... here is the build.prop:
http://pastebin.com/MBvaqvjz





@ALL

i am uploading to 2-3 mirror sites... dont worry you will get good download speeds :)

- In CWM when it says mount /system, does it mean that system is unmounted?

EDIT: "ro.semc.version.fs=WORLD" Does it mean, it's world generic?

Doom, did you notice this:

ro.semc.version.fs=WORLD

Is this world generic then?

Is it worth flashing this? So far I heard there it's no change to. 200, is that true?

There has to be a change. It is probably worth flashing as it is another official update...

I read that it was just a regional update for middle-east with WiFi fix and additional language support.

Is it true?

    WTF, data got formatted as well after flashing this zip.

    What happened??
    It shouldn't format data right. No warning or what so ever in OP?

    UPDATE: I'm so damn freaking frustrated right now.

    WARNING GUYS, before you flash this zip, make sure you backed up your data.

    I didn't so my data all gone.

    There's no warning in OP so be careful.

    BUT PLEASE WRITE IN OP.
    And what's the point of formatting data if we are from 200?

    I like your work, but there are 2 drawbacks in you 211

    1. data format
    2. no chinese/japanese keyboard

    i apologize for missing that crucial bit of information in the OP... since many people were still not on the .200 ROM or had rolled back to other ROM i keep the installer script the same as the one for .200...

    i have updated the OP with the warning about formatting data & cache partitions...


    the keyboards are not included in the stock ROM... they can be fetched from the older .200 FW and then flashed separately... if u want i can create a recovery flashable zip for the same...


    again sorry for anyone who was unaware of this and lost their data while installing the... BUT do remember... whenever flashing ANY ROM do take backup of your data, either in recovery or via Titanium Backup...
