about error status 7 while flashing a rom

I have this error when i change some updater-script to flash some KK roms in 2nd position for dualboot.

Now, in updater-script from 4.4.2 KK roms, the most important lines to change to flash the rom with DorimanX kernel are : we have introduction of set_metadata_recursive command which is know by META-INF binary but AFAIK , META-INF binary from 4.4.2 KK ROMs arent know by DorimanX Recovery, so in fine, we have to change META-INF folder totaly in KK 4.4.2 ZIP ROM too. (explained in post 20)

So, original code extracted from 4.4.2 KK roms, generaly we will find :

if you want to flash the 4.4.2 KK roms with dorimanx kernel installed, you have to replace these lines by this code :

(remember to change META-INF folder completly too, you can find it in DorimanX test build thread or charge in in my dev-host here : DorimanX-META-INF.rar.)

We have 45 lines for each code. the same number of line. and you can see the translation, line to line, no more or deleted lines.

if you haven't the good folders to be permited with set_perm command corresponding, you will have the ERROR STATUS 7 during flash.

so i though ppl that have encountered this error try to change some lines in their updater-script and i made this post.

hope this help some dualbooters too ;) its the only code i change in all my updater-script to use all KK 4.4.2 roms in 2nd position with dorimanx kernel 8.43v64 !

why this branch ? because i have NeatRom 5.6 4.1.2 rom in 1rst rom (moded to dualboot) :silly: . (oh, i change mali in 4.4.2 rom ;) )

thanks.
