Error Applying Update 7 Updater Process Ended with Error 1 [Fix]
If possible, do take a data backup beforehand. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
- To begin with, download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Then download the super_empty.img that the ROM developer has provided.
- If the ROM developer has provided their own super_empty.img, then please use that one only.
- However, if they haven’t provided any, then you may use the one from any AOSP ROM, granted they are of the same OS build [and obviously belong to your device].
- I have tested this LineageOS super_empty.img across a few other AOSP ROMs as well and it worked out well and good. So you could try it out too.
- Once downloaded, place the file in the platform-tools folder.
- Now type in CMD in the platform-tools folder address bar and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
- Then enable USB Debugging and connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
- Now type in the below command to boot your device to Fastboot Mode:
adb reboot bootloader
- Finally, use the below command to wipe the super partition via the super_empty.img file:
fastboot wipe-super super_empty.img
- You may now carry out the rest of the flashing as instructed by that ROM.
That’s it. These were the steps to fix the “Error Applying Update 7 Updater Process Ended with Error 1″. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution as soon as possible.
