Can't install Cyanogenmod 7.1/any costum ROM (ClockworkMod: Error Status 7)

[Guest uzicoppa]

A friend of mine bought a Pulse (U8220) on eBay with a broken gingerbread or so installation. Because he has not that much knowledge of Android he gave it to me to fix it.

I finally installed the UK 2.1-update1 version after hours of trying to get into recovery as I only loaded into fastboot or the mobile just crashed; therefore root and AmonRa are gone.

Gladly I was now able to start into 2.1 and install the drivers of the Huawei/T-Mobile PC Suite on my windows machine so I was able to use fastboot and flash clockworkmod onto it.

Inside of cwm I tried to install Cyanogenmod 7.1 after this manual: http://wiki.cyanogen...ll_Update_Guide (as it helped me a lot with cwm), sadly I only get following error message http://pastebin.com/ZjUbxyir (Status 7)

Any suggestions/fixes for this? Or might this happen cause not being root anymore?

Another problem still occurring is the phone restarting from time to time (when I got it it stuck inside a boot loop). Is this some kind of hardware defect? If yes I would stop trying to get it working as it's supposed to be and that friend would sell it again

Update: tried the stable 6.1 version but same error

There were reports as I can recollect that CWR v3.x doesn't work properly. Normal version is 2.5.0.7

I install CWR from stock rom as:

- root it with z4root,

- install Rom Manager

- install CWR from Rom Manager. (It installs version 2.5.0.7)
