[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nkk71:
I originally did not want to reply to your comments, but the mood is fine thanks, and I'm not being or trying to be rude. Perhaps typing a short sentence on the phone, came across as rude, and I should have instead said:

Would you be so kind as to upload a recovery.log, as I am on phone it is difficult to type the instructions for that, but they can be found in the OP. :rolleyes:

Of course, if I had formulated my "request" you would just tell me I'm being condescending... so loose loose.

And finally to close this discussion, may I point out that the OP specifically requests a recovery.log be submitted with any issue / bug report, so it would be nice if his wishes and recommendations were taken into account.

I also find the usefulness of this post somewhat redundant, since it has been discussed several times over, but I'll post it here anyway, since there are people who have a legitimate interest and willingness to understand and learn, so for those:

About ERROR 7

TWRP will return error 7 when the zip flash is unsuccessful (in particular when the updater-script scripts exits with an error), it is however a more or less "generic" error.

Here are a few examples:

Corrupt download:

Verifying the updated system image...script aborted: system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update
system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Firmware check

(note that I'm actually on a higher version, but that particular script checks for a specific version):

Checking for SBL1 version 1.2.50.1.36script aborted: assert failed: hima.verify_sbl1("1.2.50.1.36") == "1"
Checking for SBL1 version 1.2.50.1.36
assert failed: hima.verify_sbl1("1.2.50.1.36") == "1"
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

CM's version check:

about to run program [/tmp/install/bin/otasigcheck.sh] with 1 args
You have an installed system that isn't signed with this build's key, aborting...
run_program: child exited with status 124
script aborted: Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Those are but

a few

examples of "error 7", each of which has a different solution. Not to mention the above were all done using the same ROM, and each ROM has it's own variation of the updater-script.

That is why the recovery.log is essential to determine the exact cause, and try to help you fix the situation.

There is nothing rude about asking for a log, and everyone will (or should at least) note that in every development thread (be that a custom recovery, a custom ROM, some MOD, etc), the OP will more than likely have instructions about how to post problems and bug reports.

Advising people to wipe their entire phone, because of an error 7, that is very likely easily overcome, is overkill imho,

A final note, I have only posted small extract of the recovery.log, in general I kindly ask anyone uploading one, to post the entire log (as a compressed attachment or using pastebin/hastebin/etc sites). There may be information needed prior and post those sections that are of importance.
