Next phone topic

My wife's phone held strong for 2 years, thanks to the development efforts of ckpv5, but it started falling apart in the last few months and I had to finally get her an upgrade.

After looking at a lot of phones, she finally picked the Samsung Galaxy A5 last week. Though I was a little concerned, since I have a Note 2 and I'm not a fan of Samsung's build quality and the infamous TouchWiz UI, the A5 is a pretty well built device. And the UI too is much more polished than what's on the Note 2. It's more like a stripped down version of the S5 ROM. And it's super smooth.

2 things to consider about the phone though -
1) It doesn't have a notification led! Yes. You read that right. It's the stupidest thing ever. Samsung designers were high on something when they made this, I guess. Because it's also super thin and all metal. Yup. But it still doesn't justify the lack of a notification led.
2) The camera is exposed too much, that when you place it flat, the glass is touching the surface that it's on. They should have pushed the glass inside a little bit. Hoping it doesn't get scratched easily.

Apart from that, she's very happy with the phone. I thought I'd suggest it here in case anyone else is in the market for an upgrade.

[Q] What's the next step? topic

Hi,

This is my first time doing this and I've been doing pretty good until I get to this stage where I got the status 7 error while installing zip file cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip. I want to transfer other files (cm-11-20140203-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip) to my phone but when I reboot, the logo still stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S III"...

I am still able to go into PhilZ Touch 6 CWM Base version 6.0.4.5 but I don't really know what to do from there. The files I have currently in my phone are:
DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-V1.93.zip
cm-11-2014-0217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip

What I did was:
1. Rooted my phone using Odin and verified that my phone was root via RootChecker app.
2. I went to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and chose the option to "Clean to Install a New ROM".
3. Then I received the error Status 7 message
4. Reboot and it also said "Root access is missing. Root device?" then either option (yes or no), still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III.

My phone is Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III 4.4.2, SPH-L710 and I followed the instruction from this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2596697

Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
