HELP! error when flashing rom

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
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "
maguro" || getprop("ro.build.product") ==
"maguro"
E:Error in /sdcard/pete_maguro_ota_02-17-12.zip

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

Are you running a Touch Enabled beta version of CWM by any chance?

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

[Q] Error Installing Cyanogen Mod 10 Sony Xperia s

Hello guys I have a Sony Xperia S wich is running ICS and I want to run JB through Cyanogenmod 10. I unlocked the bootlader rooted my phone and installed CWM when I boot in recovery mode in order to install Cyanogenmod 10 nozomi I get the folowing error:

I have no ideas, I wipe cache and everything even before flashing the phone in order to get it working but still doesn't work. I had to restore it to ICS several times cause it just keeps failling.
By the way if anyone knows where can I get some knowledge on Android I would appreciate it. I don't want to be just a parasite. Wanna help.

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

Edit the updater-script inside zip and remove the assert line from it save it.
Now you can flash.

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.

Thanks, that's also my best explanation. Working on it. In the meantime I installed paranoidandroid without problems.

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. If someone else tries it, don't wipe the dalvik and all of that just wipe your cache and install ZIP from sd card and it'll work fine. Now, how do I close it?

[Q] Fails to install cm-10.1.3-d2att.zip

1. I own three Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m. I was able to successfully Odin flash TWRP or ClockworkMod recoveries on all of them. Then install my preferred CyanogenMod 10.1.3 stable.
2. Problem is on the third phone purchased from Rogers network late 2012 so firmware is likely a bit more outdated. I can only flash CyanogenMod 10.0.0 on it. Anything newer fails
3. 20130812 gapps installs just fine.
4. Below are the phone details and errors in TWRP and ClockworkMod as I've tried using both recoveries.
5. I desperately need help to figure out what is stopping CyanogenMod 10.1.3 from installing on this phone. I used the exact same package on the other two phones and worked great.

Download total commander from the play store. Then open the rom using that app. Rom/META-INF/com/google/android and edit updater-script and remove the line with the smileys and the at&t code thing. then save and flash the rom. I experienced the same problem before, but that technique fixed it.

Weird because your baseband is 4.3 and your OS is 4.1.2.

Did not work
So far none of the suggestions made a difference. I'm still stuck with CyanogenMod 10.1.0. Is it possible to get more help on this? Step by step instructions would be much appreciated. I'm stuck Thanks!

I would use the latest version of Philz Touch from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att Download the zip version and install it from CWM.
Boot into CWM, then wipe cache, system, data, dalvik, and flash the ROM. Boot into the ROM, set things up, boot into CWM, flash GAPPs.

PhilZ Touch 6 also fails
I followed these steps flashed and booted into PhilZ Touch 6 but still errors out

I don't want to give up as the cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip on it has problem connecting to camera. The camera cannot be used. Thanks please let me know what else I can try.

Instincts tell me that I have to get to the bottom of why my baseband is 4.3 and OS is 4.1.2 just like what Audit13 commented. I'm still puzzled and stuck why that is the case and how to get around "force" flashing a newer cm-10.1.13-d2att. Help please!

You bootloader isn't listed in the updater script. Try flashing CM11.

What a great tip, I was finally able to install a newer cyanogenmod on my d2att.
Downloaded cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-d2att.zip
Camera works most of the time but there is now a new bigger problem. Phone battery overheats daily and discharges instantly from full to low batt and shuts down. I'm going to try the latest nightly.

Apologies for bringing a dead thread back alive, hoping someone can help me. I want to install 10.1.3 but my bootloader is at I747MVLUEMK5. Can I edit the updater script to include this bootloader and then try the install? I don't know if that would mess anything up. If anyone could shed some light on it that'd be great.
The reason for doing this: Wireless Display is crashing on 10.2.1 with my phone but my buddy who has his S3 on 10.1.3 is able to share his screen with my smart TV without any issues. If there is a workaround that'd be great too.
Thanks !

If the bootloader is not supported, I do not advise editing the updater script to include your bootloader. Development of 10.1 probably stopped before the 4.3 bootloader was made available to the general public.

[Q] StockMOD ROM stuck at SG3 screen

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?

Problem installng ROMs

I have the S3 sgh-i747m which I guess corresponds to the d2att version. I rooted my phone with odin and that installed the clockworkmod as well. I tried to install cyanogenmod via the installer but then I ran into the "root may be lost, fix?" message at the end, and no matter what I chose the phone always reverted back to stock. I deleted all instances of KNOX wtihout backup using bloat free (read somewhere that this might be the problem) , but to no avail the issue is still persistent. I then tried to manually install it by downloading the zip version adding it to the sd card and wiping user data/cache/dalvik cache but then when I tried to install from the zip (I also tried it with the d2att paranoid android zip) the android on the screen would drop with the red logo after a few lines of code and say "operation aborted."
What is the issue here and how do I install either cm or pa on my phone?

What is the error message displayed on your screen when the install fails?
Are you using the latest CWM? You should flash ROMs for the d2lte.

Yes, it's the latest package I got from their site cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY. Also fwiw, everytime I go into recovery mode now the cm blue man appears with the samsung logo (I'm guessing from their one click installer which said it was successful even though following the reboot message it reverted back to stock). The full message I'm getting is:
...

So you mean I should use the d2lte package instead of d2att? Because on their site I saw that my model corresponded with the d2att package.

You should be flashing d2lte ROMs, not d2att or d2can.
You are getting an assert error because your bootloader may not be supported. What is the bootloader or baseband on your phone?
Are you running the latest CWM?

My cmw recovery is v6.0.4.7
So I should try it with this package then? download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte

Yes.
ROMs for the d2can and d2att were unified under d2lte. ROMs labelled as being for a d2att or d2can could be considered "old" in the s3 Android world.

Wow thanks a bunch, that was the issue. Posted this on the cyanogenmod forums 2 days ago and nobody answered with any input.

You're very welcome. We're all here to share our experience and knowledge so everyone can learn and help others:victory:

Also was thinking of changing the cm11 kernel to something that allows the device to be overclocked to 1800mhz or so, since this one goes to 1500 only. Are there any current inherently superior kernels out there working with the cm11 version that are worth switching to? (since from a quick search I see most of these have only been tested with cm10). Or is it better to not mess with it and leave it as is, since the only 2 uses I want is to underclock for battery life, which you already have, and overclocking since before I had some apps running slow (but again don't know if the boost to 1800 is a huge step up, and whether at the same time there are any risks of crashing or something running it at this speed).

I'm can't recommend a particular kernel since I tend to leave things as is. The only thing I change under performance tweaks is settings the phone to ondemand and noop.
Since you are running CM11, you must ensure the kernerl is for CM11 and not AOSP.
