[Q] Flash Failed: Status 7

I rooted my Bell Galaxy SIII this afternoon using Mr. Robinsons method.
All good. Have root. Installed CWM (LTE Variant and other newer listed on Mr. Robinsons thread. One at a time, same error)
Booted into recovery and tried to install CM10 after factory reset, dalvick wipe, yada, yada yada.
I get the error:
Assert Failed: getprop("ro.product.device*) =="E:Error in /SDCARD/cm-10-20120912-nightly-d2Att.zip (Status 7)
Might be some left out as not all of the error code is shown.
Tried multiple times to download CM using different browsers and directly on the phone.
I am able to restore factory rooted image no problem.
I then installed TWRP v2.2.2.0
Same error when trying to install CM10-current nightly
I'm assuming that this is related to device ID and I'm trying to install ROM's not suitable for it?
I've tried with AOKP version from Task and get same error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
Pretty sure these are good for Bell version....
Any idea's or confirmation that these won't work with my phone.
Thanks
Mike

You need cwm 6.0.1.2

Not sure what the issue is but I can tell you that I have installed task aokp with twrp and cwm recovery versions back to 5.5.0.4 with no problems on my Bell phone.

Thanks,
Just so I learn something out of this...Why do I need this? I understand that both versions of CWM and TWRP I installed are used by people with the same hardware?
Just want to understand what I am missing.
Thanks,
Mike
EDIT: Okay, after doing some looking at the Build.prop file I see I have a D2Cann and the rom is listed as for D2ATT so the assumption I'm making is the older recoveries match that and won't proceed while CWM 6.012 doesn't? I'm downloading and going to install the latest CWM now to try and confirm this. Still not sure why this has worked for some people and not for me unless they are changing their build.prop but I haven't been able to find that to confirm it.

If you go in the cm10 thread in original developpenent, they specify which recovery to install with a link to download it.

its not the recovery that does the actual check for the device. it's the assert in the updater-script of the rom that you're trying to flash. CM10 checks for "d2att" and if thats not what in your build.prop it will error out and refuse to flash. Either remove that line from the updater-script or edit your build.prop.
Also. you need to try your best to read the OPs of the roms you're thinking about flashing. In the CM10 thread they even give you the information of which recovery you need to use and where to get it.

yeah, in this case, I thought I read everything and maybe got too much info. Still for coming from other devices (HTC DesireZ, Legend, couple of Asus transformers), having different device versions is a new step to tick off and learn.
Had the same issue with your rom too. Can I ask that you add a note to the OP about making sure Canadian versions change the build prop or only use CWM 6 cause I had the same issue with yours when trying to install. I'm not going to be the only guy that missed this.
Gonna install CWM 6 and change build prop to install your ROM. It looks good.
Thanks again.

Currently my phone is without a ROM. Please help!

I tried following some videos by QBKing77 and some other advice I found on threads here but am stuck and don't want to go any further in case I mess something up.
So far I have flashed back to a rooted EL26, installed CWM5.0.2.7, wiped everything, and tried installing the latest stable CM9 ROM.
When I go to flash the CM9 ROM, here's what I get:
assert failed: getprop....Installation aborted.
I have attached a screenshot. Please help! Naked without a phone!

That looks like the Rouge recovery. I'd stop using that to flash immediately.
If I were you, and provided that you can get to Odin mode on your phone, use a one click restore and then do some more research.

Flash calkulins rom. Really any gingerbread rom. Then try it again. I have had that happen to me before too. I fixed it by flashing the rom from el26 kernel. I did not wipe anything before hand. After cm9 flashed while still in the el26 kernel I factory reset the device. Worked fine.

That makes sense because I went directly to the CM website and downloaded for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 because I could not find a link for Epic 4G Touch. I guess I don't know too much about this but I was hoping for something that was a final release and not a beta or alpha. Is that team epic beta my only option?

Btw for being a beta its damn near perfect. I am ru ning a nightly after the beta however. But I remember having no problems with it. Try it you won't be disappointed

Try out TWRP. It's nicer than CWM. Install GOO manager from the play store, open it, then press the menu button and choose Install openscript recovery. It will then download and install TWRP for you.

How do I fix it?

Did you pull the battery, reboot back into recovery to re flash? Just be sure factory reset before flashing with TWRP.

I am having an extremely hard time installing Cyanogenmod.

Hi there,
I have a Galaxy SIII SGH-i747 from Virgin in Canada. As for as I know, its the same as Bell and every other SGH-i747. So tonight I tried flashing cyanogenmod 10.1 to no avail. I have rooted and installed CWM. When I try to install any ROM it comes up with the error "assert failed getprop status 7". I have searched around and have tried updating CWM recovery through ROM Manager from the play store, but the app doesn't allow me to select my phone model (says there is no official release of CWM for SGH-i747) and says the current version will do. This ROM does not want to install.

Status 7 is an out of date recovery or incorrect recovery.
You need a d2att recovery. The Canadian models are d2can. Same phone but it is a system fail safe.
Flash either one in recovery, reboot back into recovery, wipe and enjoy cm10.1

Bump.

Did you have the most recent stock rom before flashing cyanogenmod? The newer versions of the nightlies require that you have the most recent bootloader. If you had ics, it'll fail to flash until you update your bootloader. The most recent build before the bootloader assert that you can flash is rc2.

I understand that, but I cannot flash the updated CWM. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, so I see people are trying to help me but it's so vague. Every article or how to, or help page ive read on this site or others, suggest conflicting ways to perform these mods. Why can't anyone just tell me straight up, you do this, then this, then that? I feel it shouldnt be this much of a headache and before I've even started modding, I'm getting very turned off. I am already frustrated beyond comprehension. Like I said, I've searched, and searched and nothing is helping. Everything is too vague.
So my question stands: I flashed an outdated recovery by accident, and I want to flash a new, UPDATED recovery. KorGuy provided me with instructions and a link to a new, updated recovery, however I cannot flash that from my current recovery.
What can I do to flash an updated CWM?
Can someone give me a hand?

You need to flash the most recent STOCK firmware through ODIN so you will have the most recent bootloader, then flash your recovery of choice through ODIN, boot into recovery, not system as the recovery will be overwritten iirc. Then flash cm in recovery

If you can't follow a guide like this and figure things out, maybe flashing ROMs just isn't for you. I'm not trying to offend, but this isn't for everyone.

Root your phone and install a custom recovery. Most root guides will include instructions for flashing a custom recovery. Next buy "ROM toolbox" form android market, I say by because you will love this app so much you will want to buy it eventually anyway.
Open ROM toolbox and select cyanogen mod. ROM toolbox will flash your phone for you! It can also flash the custom recovery if you did not do this when you rooted your phone.
Annnother must have root app is titanium backup.
Hope this helps.

[Q] CM 10.1 RC5 Wont Flash

Hey guys, right now im running CM 10 stable build, but when i flashed CM 10 i flashed the d2att, which worked fine for me. SO i decided to dirty flash CM 10.1 d2att since i flashed the att build last time, then i figured, maybe i got lucky last time, so i dirty flashed d2tmo and it still didnt work!
I dont wanna have to wipe everything and do a clean install all over again! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Im with wind, so thats why the d2tmo made more sense, in case your wondering

CM10 is 4.1.2 and CM10.1 is 4.2.2. You cannot dirty flash different Android versions, you have to wipe and start over, after backing up everything first of course.

Alright thanks!
Just a quick question before i flash, do i need to be on stock TW, cuz as i said im on CM10
And all i do is flash this, reboot and then flash CM 10.1 and gapps? right?

Nandroid backup first if you haven't. You will need to factory reset after flashing cm I'm pretty sure. Backup your internal sdcard too, just in case.

You don't need to wipe data from CM 10 -> 10.1.
PSA: Upgrading from CM10 to CM10.1
As you may have noticed, we started updating some devices from cm10 (Android 4.1) to 10.1 (Android 4.2) during the weekend. The upgrade process has been tested extensively for the older devices (manta and mako didn't have that problem since they started out with 10.1), so you should be able to update directly without losing any data.
The single application known not to work is the Clock: Our changes to 4.1's clock to add the Stopwatch and Timer in CM10 aren't compatible with Google's own implementation of those features in 4.2 (which we're using in cm10.1); If your clock starts crashing after upgrading to 10.1, simply go into the Settings -> Apps menu, choose Clock from the All tab, and hit "Clear data".

Thats why I linked you to it. Just be sure you have a T999V and not a T999 model S3. Provided you do, it is safe to flash. many have already done so.
You can flash it while on TW or CM.

The assert is already there to include that bootloader in the latest CM10.1 Nightlies. I would suggest to flash CM10.1 & Gapps, then wipe cache & dalvik, then check your Baseband under Settings and About Phone, it may already be VLDLL1, because flashing a ROM shouldn't change those files (modem, etc.).

Cm won't flash, which is most likely because the phone isn't on LL1. Even if it is, its not going to hurt it to flash that firmware package.
If you want to be sure first though, what is your current baseband? Its under settings, about device.

Same goes for when i flash d2tmo
I think ive heard of that status 7 error somewhere, could that be the reason?

ALSO, i can easily flash carbon rom 4.2.1
I just prefer CM and i like not losing my data, so yea, the fact that i can flash Carbon but not CM 10.1 shows that theres no problem with my version of CWM

Update your CWM if you are not using the latest version. Whether or not Carbon flashed is not relevant.
Also, don't flash AT&T ROMs. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Flash T-Mobile ROMs. With d2tmo CWM. Link to the Odin .tar is in my signature. You flash the proper CWM, and CM will stop hassling you. When you attempt to flash CWM, it checks your bootloader version and recovery version. If either don't match what it's looking for - installation aborted.

First, I never said there was a problem with CWM, though if you aren't using the latest, I'd suggest updating it.
Second, you never answered my questions in my last post.
Third, I don't know how old Carbon 4.2.1 is but they are now on 4.2.2. When cm went to 4.2.2 is when they started checking your firmware, so just because you can flash that doesn't mean you can flash something newer.
So if you please, do the following and tell me what it says.
Open Terminal Emulator
Enter the following line:
getprop ro.bootloader
Let me know what it says please.
Also, everytime I've ever seen a Status 7 error, its been caused by the firmware not being up to date. So at this point I still believe flashing that firmware pkg I linked earlier will be your fix.

Let me know what it says please.
Also, everytime I've ever seen a Status 7 error, its been caused by the firmware not being up to date. So at this point I still believe flashing that firmware pkg I linked earlier will be your fix.

When i did the terminal thing, i got
"T999VVLALE6"

Ok, that's the problem then. Its scropted to not flash unless that reads VLDLL1. hou can either flash the firmware pkg I linked to, or odin flash the correct firmware. After that you should be able to flash cm.
The pkg I linked to would be the easiest to use.
