[q] status 7 : Rom won't flash - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to port a 4.3 rom from Galaxy S3 to Nexus 4, but when I finally try to flash the rom I'm given the error Status 7 (symlink):
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/port.zip
(Status 7)
Instalation aborted.
I took the error log from CWM and here is what is said:
minzip: Process function elected to fail (in inflate)
minzip: Error extracting "/system/lib/libSpenSkia.so"
failed to mkdir /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310: No space left on device

(Status 7)

What should I do?

Are you using the latest CWM? You could also try TWRP to flash the rom.

I've heard twrp doesnt work with custom roms

All I have used on my N4 is TWRP and I've had no problems so far. I have tried Slim, Experience, Asylum, etc.

I've tried twrp but still no success. It must be a problem inside the rom

As a test, try TWRP with another 4.4 custom rom.

My custom ROM won't flash with CWM nor with TWRP. Tried to flash it using another custom ROM and it didn't work too. I really believe there's something wrong with my custom ROM or with the device itself. In another thread a user told me that "Like the error said. NO SPACE LEFT. So, increase the system Partition or delete some APK in the rom". I guess I can't delete any apk's and I don't know how to increase system Partition. Moreover, I don't know if that would even work. I'd like someone to help me with a solution based on the error log I posted before.

Flash first CyanogenMOD, then flash any other ROM and use TWRP for it!

Would it really make any difference?

Had this problem with my old xperia mini and this was the solution : (not sure it'll work, but give it a shot if you want to take the risk)
Download notepad ++
Open up the updater script and delete the first two lines I think.
I'm not a 100% sure this was all so best,
SEARCH FOR STATUS 7 ERROR IN THE XPERIA MINI FORUMS. YOU'LL GET YOUR ANSWER THERE.

Extract it.
There should be another zip in there. That's the one to flash.

Hi, could you please tell me where can i find a guide on how to flash my device with JB software. I'm in Europe,with EU TF300.
EDIT: I DID THAT:
Finally found a workaround for the "not finding any update".
1: download the dlpkgfile and command file found here on the forum.
2: use a file manager with root permissions (eg:es file explorer)
3: copy the dlpkgfile to /cache and the command file to /cache/recovery.
4: temp unroot with the Voodoo app
5: restore original build.prop
6: reboot in recovery (hold power + volume down) untill the white text appears telling you to press volume up to enter recovery
7: auto installs
8: reboot + reroot with the voodoo app
Failed after step 7.
Same way as with Official automatic update which failed and I am unable to repeat it... please help

[Q] Need help - missing "Currents" apk kills 4.2.2 update

The 4.2.2 update appears to fail on my rooted, (mostly) stock Nexus 7 because I uninstalled the stock Google "Currents" app. CWM 6.0.2.3 log sez:

So, I reinstalled "Currents" from the Play store, didn't help. Used Ti Backup to turn it into a system app, didn't help. Based on poking about in system/app it looks like I need to return 4.1.1 "Currents.apk" and "Currents.odex" to system/app. Is there an easy way to get those two files? Unfortunately (mea culpa, mea maxima culpa) I don't have any sort of backup I can pull them from.
Edited to add: When I said (mostly) stock, it IS stock except for deleting Currents; other than root & CWM, I've made no other mods (to the best of my recollection, anyway ...)
Hi,
I had the same problem when I tried to update my rooted Nexus 7 3G OTA it always said "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Currents.apk, .." and aborted the process.
The problem was obviously because I deinstalled Currents with RootAppDelete but I found a workaround which may help you too.
- Install Currents again form the PlayStore.
- Pick a File Manager and go to /data/app/ and find the apk-file of Currents (com.google.android.apps.currents)
- put this file in /system/app/ and rename it to "Currents.apk". I also set the permissions to rw-r--r-- like the other apks but I don't know if this is necessary (it's easy to change them with e.g. ES File Explorer)
- protect your root (rootkeeper) and start the update again :fingers-crossed:
This does the trick for me, I kept all my data and my root permissions.

Problem update 4.2.2

Hi,
I'm noob and english isn't my native language so sorry for the mistakes or others.
I've a problem with the update 4.2.2.
I have to erase the data of "Google services framework" and close it.
Then I download the update and I have to reboot the n4 for installing the update.
I do this and after the reboot I have this message in TWRP custom recovery:

Can you say me how fix this problem.
I would like to have all stock but just rooted.
Thanks a lot & sorry for my bad english.
Replace the EmailGoogle.apk that's missing
The message is telling you that it can't find the Gmail app, likely because you deleted it. Put it back (reinstall) and try again.

Your phone has to be stock for the OTA update to work.
Stock recovery, kernel, etc. Your phone can be rooted, but you can't have any modified (including removed) system files.
You could just download the factory image yourself and flash the parts separately.
or you can just flash any of the stock/rooted roms available here on xda

[Q]OTA Failed 4.4 to 4.4.2 system/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf" has unexpected contents

Hello all developers and Nexus Fans,
I am current uesing stock 4.4 nexus, and yesterday I received the 4.4.2 ota. However, after downloading it, the OTA installation just failed.
I am not sure which patch or app made it fail, would any kindly fans can give me a hint so that I can update to 4.4.2?
Here are the mod and app I've installed on my 4.4 stock:
0. Franco's Kernel R198
1. rooted
2. TWRP recovery
3. center clock | battery | mod
4. multi-rom
5. xopsed frame
6. custom font via recovery zip
7. gravity box
8. busy box
I have stoped and uninstalled xposed framework also re-flashed the stock font(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513985).
Still cannot install the ota...

Actually, pretty much everything made it fail. Your best bet would be to reflash KRT16S (or KOT49H) factory image.
