[Q] Got stuck trying to update to kitkat

Jozee01 · Mar 29, 2014

Hi,
I need help because after 20 hours of trying i gave up.
I've tried like 8 guides of how to update the rom and it always failed.
I tried 10+ rom versions and put them on sd card and it fails with "status 7" or just "aborted" with no reason.
i'm using cwm 6.0.3.0, and when i try to update it using odin it also fail.
also when i try to load the original stock rom for my country it fails with no reason just "aborted".
I also tried fastboot in download mode but it wont recognize my device even with correct drivers.
now the worst problem is that when i restore it to the previews backup it works but the device is unusable, stuck after one minute.
I'm really frustrated and i hop to get some help here.

Thanks

Download KitKat ROM, PA Gapps and most recent SuperSU v1.94 http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
+++ the 1&Only guide +++
- Download Raw kernel r4 r3p2 test > http://ge.tt/m/4wso5Hx
- Flash Raw kernel in your old recovery
- Go to advanced > choose reboot recovery! (Not System)
- Now in Raw kernel recovery CWM 6.0.4.4, you can
--- Flash KitKat ROM
--- Flash PA Gapps (full modular recommended)
--- Flash SuperSU
- Wipe data / factory reset
- Reboot
> You're on KitKat.

Status 7 > you need a recovery which is full SELinux compatible.

Should i do it within bootloader or odin?

Jozee01 · Mar 29, 2014

***
tried to flash raw within recovery mode and got:
"E:Can't open /sdcard/raw_kernel_r3p2_test.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted."

AA1973 · Mar 29, 2014

From which recovery are you flashing right now?
Screenshot of about phone information, please?

Are you on stock recovery 3e right now.
Some more details of your exact setup, please.

Or bad download of raw kernel. Can you open the zip file?

Jozee01 · Mar 29, 2014

Ok solved it,
Thanks man!

Got stuck trying to update to kitkat (me too)

Dear Experts,

I believe my case is very similar to that starting this thread so I thought I'd just continue (hopefully not violating rules).
My Android was ICS stock version and my wish was to upgrade to KitKat.
(I did not make any backup.)

I followed these steps:

I rooted my system and installed PhilZ Touch 3 CWM Base version 6.0.2.7.

Then I proceeded to the upgrade following this guide:
"Update Galaxy Note N7000 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat Lightning ROM"
[sorry, am not allowed yet to insert ext links]

Step 10 resulted for me in:

Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/N7000-STABLEv1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

I retried step 10 using SlimKat - N7000 but with the same (Status 7) result.

This CWM seems ready further actions although it keeps looping even upon switch-offs (needed to remove battery to switch off effectively).
I hope all details have been given.

Please do advise me about further steps.
Thank you,

R.

Simple download the latest philz touch, flash it with recovery reboot your recovery and flash the rom u desired. Your recovery is outdated hence status seven error

Thank you Nic2215 and hello every helping soul!

I downloaded the latest file, MD5 checked OK.
Was not sure to be able to boot into recovery but kept the three buttons pressed while inserting the battery (current way to switch on) but I believe I succeeded in that.
Later I just chose boot into ecovery from within CWM menu.
Anyway it's been no success for me:

E:Error in /sdcard/philz_touch_6.25.0-n7000.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

BTW I noticed one detail - in the About section of CWM it reads among other lines:
Build version: 3.99 - i9100

I am quite sure I'd followed all rooting steps correctly:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217840

and picked a zip file compatible with N7000 and my kernel XXLRI:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
-> PhilZ-cwm6 v3.99 with CWM 6.0.2.7 based recovery
-> PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRI-AUT-v3.99

Anybody able to help?

You must have CWM 6.0.4.4 or higher, which is fully SELinux compatible for KitKat. 
Just flash Raw kernel r4, reboot in recovery (of raw kernel ) and then do your flash and wipes. 
You can't simply install a newer recovery on our device, as kernel and recovery are bound together, but ...THIS IS BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR OUR DEVICE!!!

I appreciate your help.
Following your advice I found this resource:
-> [KERNEL][AOSP][10 Dec.] Raw Kernel r5 -- simple&fast kernel -- some KitKat love
but I can see:
Download :
r5 for KK4.4 (announce)
r4 for JB4.3 (announce)
Just would like to make sure that r4 - not r5 - fits my needs towards KitKat.

Suppose r4, then please assure me that my plan is correct:

1. Download raw_kernel_r4_j43.zip
2. On N7000 VolUp+Home+Pwr -> Install Zip -> Choose zip from sdcard -> raw_kernel_r4_j43.zip
3. Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
4. -> Install Zip -> Choose zip from sdcard -> N7000-STABLEv1.zip (Lightning Rom Android 4.4.2 ROM )

Please excuse my basic questions - I just realize I may not allow myself further mistakes. Certainly did not mean to offend or irritate anybody here.
Regards,
R.

You may download either r4 or r5,r4 is cwm and r5is twrp. I would suggest to go with r4 and then flash r4 first, reboot recovery, do the wipes and then flash rom with gapps (or without) and superSU.
