I've followed the instructions down to the letter and it still won't flash. It says installation aborted: getpropgetpropgetpropgetprop or something along those lines.
This isn't my first ICS flash, I've done it dozens of times, but this problem has stumped me.
I'm using the direct boot CWM5 kernel that was described in the instructions: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html
I'm currently running El29 Blazer 4.0.
have you tried to download the zip file again. It may be corrupted
If this is not your first time then you know all the procedures to flashing an ICS rom.
there are wipe scripts out there you can use
double check md5
try another el26CWM recovery
hey flash cm7 first if you really desperate
odin a stock ICS rom first
Just got to do keep trying but safely
Probably a bad download. Re-download the zip.
I think it is a bad download or it didn't complete check how big the file is if it is really small like less than a hundred megabytes just download it again.
Just fyi I've tried all of those methods and still no results. It keeps saying, with every ICS rom I try and flash:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "
epic4gtouch " l l getprop("ro.build.product") == "

It's the correct size and I downloaded it multiple times but it's not only this ROM that won't flash it's actually all ICS roms. It used to work and I haven't done anything wrong with it, I swear , so I don't know why all of a sudden it's not working anymore.
May be you should odin one-click back to EL29 and try starting over?
Only time iv seen that error was with a rogue recovery. Even tho its based on cwm it won't work.

I used the instructed kernel with the cwm built into it. It was 5.0.2.7 with the blue theme. It wasn't rogue though, from what I know, here's a link to it: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html
I used this and followed the instructions and I still can't flash ANY ICS roms.
That's the right one. Weird.
did you try going back to stock GB?

This error just means that the assert script failed to verify your phone device id. It looks for the build.prop to identify your phone so that it wont be installed on the wrong phone. A simple way to get stock build.prop use one of sfhub's odin one click. Once done let it boot up and then odin the cwm5 kernel either thru odin or mobile odin. Wipe/data and app and proceed to install. Also no need to flash Calkulin's format all, the install script wipe's system before installing. You could also try just flashing a gingerbread rom, that might restore the proper build.prop also and you would be able to proceed from that point on. Good luck and just remember all wiping and flashing must be done on a el26 or el29 based recovery.

Yeah I used sfhub's one-click EL29 and then flashed the recovery with Odin in the PDA slot. It still doesn't work.
I know it isn't something I've done because I just flashed alpha 4 not too long ago and then oc'ed back to EL29.

I've done the one-click and then flashed the CWM5 and then tried flashing alpha5 through it and it failed. Just fyi this was before I made this thread.
I can flash EL29 roms easily but I'm not too sure about the build.prop condition on my phone other then it's not allowing me to flash ICS.
Should I be using the "directboot" CWM5 that the OP said to use or another one like EL26 Rogue repack?
I just found out what is the issue. The OP didn't specify that it won't flash unless using the EL26 Kernel with CWM5. I was using EL29 kernel with CMW5. It flashed successfully. I really appreciate your valiant effort! Seriously you saved me. I thought I had a "dead" build.prop or something. lol ^_^
Glad you got it working!
I appreciate it! I got to remember this next time.

i'm getting a very strange error when trying to flash any 4.03 rom. so far i've tried buglessbeast, and codename android, also a rom from p3droid, and he fixed the error when removing the line from the build.prop

evidently if you remove the line from the build.prop as p3droid did it can be fixed. but i don't want to have to ask every single dev to do this just for me,
and obviously theres something up with my device thats screwing this up.
so how can i make my device work here.
I had/have android revolution hd installed right now, but i am making sure to do a full wipe through CWM before flashing the new roms

That error is consistent with an earlier beta of Touch CWM but was fixed in the latest version.
Flash 5.8.0.2 either from zip or via my ToolKit which includes it and it should fix your flashing problems

Hey guys,
I still installed the "S3 Ultimate" ROM on my rooted AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) which works pretty good.
Now I tried to install the last nightly build (07/14/2012) from CM9 to see whether this is more what I like to have.
Unfortunately the installation process didn´t completed at all even being rooted and having USB Debugging on.
Any ideas why I couldn´t install the CM9? I tried that with each of the CM9 nightly of the last days ... none installed.

It's probably because you wiped system data.
Either restore system img from nandroid backup or flash stock using flashtool.
Read as much info as you can before flashing. Good place to begin would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866

Had the same issue after formatting /system in CWM (using Arakmar's kernel 16)
So I just flashed XTXeperience rom (as I was at work and had limited resources!) rebooted into CWM, wipe cache/dalvik and flashed CM10 and GAPPS just fine :good:
Hi there.
I am experiencing the same problem. I had Miui rom and now I'm trying to install CM 10. I keep encountering this status 7 error. Initially I was trying with recovery-nozomy, later with recoverX. Same problem. Now I flashed boot.img from fastboot. I restored system from my backup. Still getting the same error. I even tried editing the updater-script, but then I just got another error message, I believe it was a status 6 error.
Does anyone have any good ideas about how to solve this issue? It would be nice to try CM 10.
Thanks in advance.

maybe you have a bad download. try to redownload, if still persist. flash stock roms then flash the CM.

Ok guys so this is the one that doesn't work for me. I think that the problem is the order of the guide cause he asks to flash the ROM before flashing the kernel. So if a newbie like me follows that guide it may brick their phone.
It won't let me post URLs so is one taking from androidlegend in case you guys see it.
And here is the other one the one the worked for me. And by the way is not that the other guide is completely useless is that the critical part doesn't work (because of the order) but here is the one!!
Ladies and gentleman THE GUIDE THAT REALLY WORKS!! The one that works is at the beginning of this post it's a Youtube video.
Thanks to all the people who made it possible. But just a little question, my phone's battery doesn't last as before, could it be something I missed?

3 days ago, i guess.. if you are coming from cm10 then just wipe cache and dalvik and flash the ROM but i recommend you should also wipe data for a fresh install and for a fabulous xperience.

Hey guys thank yuo all for the replies and the help, I tried it again but instead of wiping everything I just wipe the cache and install and it worked fine.

Try fastboot!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O52IeX93Jek You can see it there. It's a really good explanation
I'm rooted multiple devices, and while the process is rarely an easy straight shot for me, this sprint gs2 of my wife's has proven to be my hardest. I've managed to at this point get it rooted though oden plus get cwm installed on it through oden as well.
Now my issue is whenever I try to install cm through cwm I'm getting the same error, regardless of if it's cm7, 9, and 10.

If I try to have rom manager install it from within the app, it gets stuck at the point where I tell it yes, reboot into recovery.
I've gotten to the point of being able to use cwm after quite a bit of non-straightforward steps, mostly revolving around walkthroughs and zip references that referred to older ota builds.
Not complaining, just saying the point I'm out now is not as reliable as I'd like it to be.
I'm pretty familiar with pulling logs, not so familiar with adb but fine with command prompt. I'll be happy to try whatever anyone thinks of and if someone has the time I'd be happy to webcast the screen as I follow someone's instructions.
PS. I did find this explanation as a possible cause of the issue so food for thought -
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...p-fixing-wifes-phone-root-rom-sd-problem.html
Its been quite some time since I've messed with the Epic 4g but you flashed to the EpicMTD ROM. When you did this you changed your phones file partitioning to a completely different format.
In simple terms the Epic 4g and most devices of its time comes formatted in RFS format and along came EXT 4 format with many custom ROMs which allowed faster write times, speed improvements etc. Then they discovered this MTD format which again changes things.. I believe the problem your running into is when the device was formatted over to this MTD your having issues doing restores and such because your old recovery data is in RFS or EXT 4 format. Bottom line it won't work.
You will have to use the guide below to restore your device back a working state and remove the MTD formatting.
Thanks
Flash through odin the el26 repack from chris41g. I believe the format of system is what is causing that as well. I use the twrp packed up by chris which can be foumd on goo.im personally. Has never resulted in a brick. For me.

are you sure you're using ROMs for the sph d710?
Also, rom manager apparently bricks this phone...don't use it
yea you're definitely using the wrong ROMs...note that there is an epic 4g and epic 4g touch
best way to flash a rom (unless stated otherwise in OP of ROM)
install odin
download el26 cwm kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?hkydca9ob98z89m
turn ur phone off. hold volume down and power to get into download mode
once in download mode plug it in pc (make sure drivers are installed)
open odin
click pda option and select that el26 cwm
hit start
after it finishes and the phone starts to reboot hold volume up and power
you'll be in cwm recovery.. from there clear data clear cache clear dalvik cache
flash ROM
flash gapps if u want
reboot
Your flashing roms for the wrong device. Sph-d700= epic4g/galaxy s sph-d710=epic 4g touch/galaxy s2

Thanks everyone. I'll start from the top and work my way down. I'll go search this sub-forum for the specific packages you mentioned, and then google if that doesn't work. If you know they are hard to find or there are variations that I might choose accidentally, please pm or post up the page/link you would go to for it. Know that sounds needy, but like I said I've managed to find only half-right walkthroughs thus far, so apparently I'm not too bright.
Thanks
Read evils post. I didn't even notice that.

got it done
okay I went back, started from the beginning again with
SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-OneClick to redo the root (yeh, I know, once it's rooted it's rooted so no need, but I like to trial and error with similar starting points)
then use odin3 v1.85 from GalaxyS2Recovery.zip to install CWM
- this time I knew about the pageup, pagedown, pageup, pagedown to unlock the power button - I didn't last time and resorted to installing AGAT's recovery, which may have confused the process
used the cm build and gapps from http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/ and was able to get it to install
- even though I did a [factory wipe, wipe partition, wipe dalv cache, and wipe batt stats], it got stuck on the cm animation, so did the [ ] again and I made it in
one question - with my htc hero, gs3, and different tablets, there was a steady stream of builds...nightlies, stables, etc
with this phone I'm seeing almost nothing now that I'm search for d710...is this device not that heavily developed for? thanks
idk if you know but there are tons of ROMS for this phone on XDA
a thread title with [ROM] in it means it's a ROM

I'm trying to install StockMOD ROM using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903
I flash the modem, do a factory reset, flash the ROM, then flash the insecure kernel. When I reboot, I get stuck on the SG3 load screen and it won't go any further. I've left it sitting for over 15 minutes, so I'm pretty sure it's stuck. I tried rebooting, but I still get stuck. I've also repeated the instructions 3 times so far with the same results. I also redownloaded the ROM to make sure there weren't any problems (the download is 1.14GB on both)
One thing that I've noticed is when I install the ROM, the AROMA loads fine and I'm able to make all of my selections. When I install, it finishes within a couple of seconds. It says it successfully installed, but I get the message: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" ||
get prop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo" || get prop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" || get prop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" || get prop("ro.build.product") == "d2att"
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running a rooted AT&T Galaxy S3, coming from CM11. My CWM is v6.0.4.7 if it matters. I have the stock boot loader.
Can @saranhai or someone else on Team Inferno give me a little help?
Thanks.
It's not installing properly because your device is not supported. Did you try deleting the assert lines from the updater script to see if that helps?

That's the updater script in META-INF\com\google\android? I'll try that.
Thanks!
That did it. Thanks!
