I have build a tool that will convert updater script to support CWM version below 5 and TWRP version below 3. If you go to install latest custom ROMs like CM 13 or 12 with CWM version below 5 or TWRP version below 3 you will get an error with status 7 because they do not support new updater-script which is placed in "META-INF\com\google\android" location in your flashable zip file. There is only two way to fix this problem is by converting script or upgrading recovery. If there is no latest recovery for device then you have to convert the updater-script.
Tool is developed in javascript language with html user interface. So you just need html5 supported browser(Firefox, Chrome etc) to run this tool.
To use this tool offline download the zip file attached below and extract. In extracted folder select index.html file and open with browser. Now click browse button there and select your updater-script that you want to convert. Immediately browser will save modified updater-script file or will ask you to save. Chrome browser will automatically add .txt extension with the modified file.So you have to manually remove that. Recomended firefox
To use this tool online without downloading just visit http://minify.cf/usc.
***************************************************If you get status (6) error *******************************************
This error happens when your update-binary does not support modified updater-script. So use update-binary linked in inside the tool. This will work 100% sure.
