[Q] Status 7 error while trying to install StockMOD rom 4.3

[Slade420]

I have a SGH-i747 and have been trying to install This ROM(StockMODCustomROM4.3RLS2.1). I'm currently running the latest 6.0.4.7 cwm recovery, and I have also already tried to remove asserts from the updater-script but there wasnt any.

This is what the updater-script file says:
show_progress(1.0, 6000);

ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Installing ROM Update... ");

Are you on a 4.3 bootloader and modem?

Possibly same problem, more detail

Posting here because I'm not allowed to post to the thread for the ROM.

EDIT: I have an SGH-I747 which was, before I started, running OTA 4.3. I installed both Clockworkmod 6.0.4.7 and TWRP 2.7.0.0, as well as ROM Manager. It occurs to me that I didn't try using TWRP to do the install, just CWM. I did flash I747UCUEMJB Modem even though I probably didn't need to, since I was already running UCUEMJB, and I did the "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" steps in CWM.

EDIT2: I tried flashing the ROM again with TWRP and that seems to have done the trick.

I have a SGH-i747 and have been trying to install This ROM(StockMODCustomROM4.3RLS2.1). I'm currently running the latest 6.0.4.7 cwm recovery, and I have also already tried to remove asserts from the updater-script but there wasnt any.

This is what the updater-script file says:
show_progress(1.0, 6000);

ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Installing ROM Update... ");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14"); <--this is the culprit, I think

{ big snip of uninteresting script }

unmount("/system");

OP should note that RLS2.1 is not supposed to be standalone, it is supposed to be installed over RLS2. I had a similar error attempting to install RLS2.

OP should also note that there was probably additional information in his error message, which would have been useful to include.

The error message I got was that format() expects 5 args, got 3.

I did some looking for a reference to the scripting language. I found that it's called edify, and saw many guides and explanations, but nothing resembling a programmer's reference, and not really anything that a competent UNIX programmer wouldn't be able to guess by inspection. I did find some examples where format() is called with 5 args, and was tempted to just edit the script so that the line would be

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "system", 0);

but chickened out, this being my first attempt to flash a ROM.

Evidently many people have been able to install these ROMs without this problem: how is it possible that something as basic as the required number of arguments to a filesystem formatting command could vary from device to device?

How should I proceed, if I want to get this installed?
