What is a Status 7 error?

There is an updater-script file present in every custom ROM. This file (also called as asserts) is used to verify the compatibility of your Android mobile with the custom ROM.

But sometimes you may encounter these errors even if you have the correct ROM for your device.

‘Status 7 error installation aborted’ appears when a certain ROM’s assert file does not contain your device model. Besides, it can also show an ‘installation aborted due to validation failure’ error if your device model is mentioned but the script is generated for other models. For example, if you try to install Galaxy S10 firmware on a Galaxy S9 device, it can result in hard-bricking your phone.

But instead, if you get Status error 7, that means the updater-script file just saved your mobile by working as a safety mechanism. Hence, this error is indirectly saving your device and thus is of great help. But there are times where you will get status error 7 twrp even if you have correct firmware for your phone.

Because of this, many users try to flash new custom recoveries, but eventually, the result remains the same. Sometimes updating custom recovery like CWM or TWRP can solve this problem. But it is a very rare scenario.
