[Q] Problems to install cm7

Hi,
I'm having problems to install cm7 port. First of all, i would like to thanks Alquez by the great job he's done in this port.
And now, my problem. When i try to install cm7 from recovery, and after wipe data, cache and all, i select install from zip, and when start the proces i obtain this error message:
I've checked the zip md5sum, and i don't obtain the same result indicated by Alquez. I tried downloading the file several times, even downloading it from the different available servers, and I always get the same md5, being different to that indicated by Alquez.
I don't know what to do. Can anyone, that have the correct file, upload it to another server?. Or i'm doing anything wrong?
Thank you very much.

the error message
Sorry,
The error message is:
Installing update.....
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="marvel" ||getprop("ro.build.product")=="marvel" || getprop(ro.product.board") =="marvel"
E: Error in /sdcard..../update-cm-7.2.0.RC0....zip (Status 7)

What version of CWM do you use? Make sure you are using the version that alquez posted on development section

I'm using CWM version 3.2.0.1_xda.cn.
I'll try to install ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.0.2.6 and i'll try to flash CM7 port again.
Thanks for replies. I'll post the results of this try.

Problem solved
OK,
Finally I've could install CM7 on my wildfire s. The problem was at the CWM i was using.
I've installed the new version (5.0...) and the problem was solved.
Thank you all.
Sorry if my english is not very good.

[Q] E: Can't open sdcard/rom (bad)!

Hi!
Every time I try to flash a rom through CWM it gives me this "E:Can't open sdcard/rom.zip (bad)" error. I thought it's because of a corrupt download, but I downloaded it again and again, and it still ain't working. I also tried different roms and zips, but always the same error.
I formatted my SD card. I actually did it three times. Still no luck.
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

i have found that "bad" generaly means a problem with the zip. what have you been trying to flash?
Pvy.

I hope it was the problem. But I have tried downloading the same file a couple of times and tried different zip files, but none of 'em works. Also I can't install zips through Rom Manager.

Ugh, now what it does is when I go to flash a zip file, it just stucks into the "Opening update package"... It does it on every rom I try to install, even with matching kernels...

Great, now I can't even flash CM9 anymore. I think I've made helluva expensive book weight.

Did you format it with windows or via cwm?

I don't use Windows, but I formatted it with Ubuntu. And yes, I also formatted it with CWM(which wasn't a good idea)

Okay, now when I try to flash CM9 Nightly, I got this:

Geez...
Any way to restore phone to complete stock? I could start from a clean table...

Allright, got that one fixed. Just needed to erase "getprop" lines from roms updater-script.
Now my phone isn't a brick anymore Able to boot it to CM9. Still, can't flash any roms...

It's alive!
I don't know what I did exactly to get it work, but I think formatting SD card via CWM had something to do with it...
(and sorry for double posts)

Maybe you have formatted in nfts instead of fat32..

You can find recovery.img inside the zip.

Oh my...
I think this is one of the best finds for the Cappy Glide since CM10.1...
Thank you! Thanks SOOOOO MUCH!
I was about fed-up with CWMR, having to spam the volume buttons, but now with touch controls, I mean, COME ON! How much better could it get to flash and recover and restore and backup stuff! Thank you! BIG THUMBS UP!
:good::good::good::good::good:

great thanks, its time to udate it. i see we have a version from odin and one to flash via CWMR.

Initially got some strange "assert getprop" errors when flashing stock Samsung flashable packs (CWM does the job), but flashing CM and PAC looks alright. Just why does the stock flashables all require ro.product.device=SGHI927... (normally it would be SGH-I927)

New roms test both assert tags. You can change test in rom's zip file.

Hm I don't see a tmp folder in root or twrp. I did a search for all recovery.log files & only found the ones from 2.6.1 backups
I had to go back to 2.6.1 & got it to backup & restore.
I've attached one of those.
When trying using 2.6.3 it says it "Unable to create Folder: /external_sd/TWRP/..."
"Failed to make backup folder"

I tried renaming them & reflashed 2.6.3 but still get the same error messages of it not being able to create backup folders? Very strange.... I could have sworn it was working the first time I flashed it? But now these repeated errors have me mystified?
Edit: I also tried redownloading 2.6.3 & reflashing but still getting the same error messages?
Ive had to reflash 2.6.1 & it works perfectly!

2.6.3
Doesn't seem capable of mounting 64gb exfat formatted SDXC card.
Just says failed to mount or something along those lines, mounted a 8gb FAT32 card, wouldn't mount an old FAT 512mb card.
I know for a fact the 2.6.1 is capable of mounting the 64gb exfat card. Flashed back to it and no issues.

I had the same error, so i just downloaded nandroid backup from the play store, and it works wonders if you choose TWRP as your recovery.

I also had the same problem, but with d2att - changed the auto generated backup name and it worked (also fixed permissions but not sure if it was necessary to or not).

[Q] CM11 wont install - Status 7

Hi, I have been flashing nightlies since CM11 came out with no issues (maybe once a week, so quite a few times).. The version I currently have installed is 11-20140204. I have been just dirty flashing manually in CWM, installing from SD card / install ZIP.
For some reason I cannot update anymore ? Any of the new Nightly versions give me a STATUS 7 and to my knowledge nothing on my phone has changed ?
I have updated to the latest CWM - 6.0.4.7. and still wont work.
Here is the error I am getting :
Installing Update:
Assert failed:
getprop (“re.bootloader”) == “I747UCDMG2”
getprop (“re.bootloader”) == “I747UCUEMJ2”

Please help, Thanks

I was having the same problem and if you look around a little you can try editing the updater script.... There is a whole step by step tutorial somewhere in this forum. You have to unzip the ROM and edit the updater-script file but here is the link just copy and paste it, its a couple comments down and it has worked for a ton of people, I'm still having issues but its helped a ton of people to flash successfully.

Is your bootloader included in the list of supported loaders?

Use TWRP instead.
Flash this, http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html
Format /cache, dalvik, /system, /data, and your internal SD card, then try again.

Won't formatting your internal SD card delete your nandroid backups if that's where your cwm stuff is? I'd like to find a solution for my issue to I have the new bootloader from 4.3 UCUEMJB and I successfully rooted it and installed philz cwm and removed Knox with the Knox remover zip and then I successfully flashed beanstalk 4.4.1 which I'm still running and with no issues......but I haven't been able to flash anything else.... So I was considering trying twrp because at first I was getting those errors then edited the updater scripts in the ROMs I was trying to flag just for it to abort installation again and not because of a status 7 error I think it said something about data/0 / volume or something crazy like that which is all foreign to me.

[Q] Percisting assert failed: getprop...(statut 7)

Hi, I have an SGH T999V and I rooted it with this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955
I wanted ClockworkMod recovery and I found it and flash it with Odin v3.07 :
http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2014/01/install-cwm-6045-advance-edition-on-t.html
Then I wanted the lastest stable CyanogenMod for the SGH T999V and I tried to flash : cm-10.2.1-d2tmo.zip and I had this error message :
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.built.product") =="d2tmo"
I tried many methon to fix my problem but nothing work. I tried to flash a newer bootloader but I have the same error message (than above) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290118
I also tried to delete the first line in the ROM but it say this message error :
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDLJA" about 8 times and in diagonal
I'm very desperate and I would like some help.
Thanks

That Rom has been coded for T999 and its bootloader. So the updater script gives errors on both counts, bootloader as well as Product Model.
Best if you can comment out the Assert Lines in the Updater Script. Post the script here or let me know if you need help there.
FWIW, you may also want to post on the CM thread asking them to include your device for future releases.

Yes. I would need help for posting the script !

The Script is located
/meta-inf/com/google/android/
Attach it to a post here.

Here is the contain of the updater-script (from : cm-10.2.1-d2tmo.rar) that I can't be attached because the type of file is invalid...

Either change d2tmo to d2can, or use the d2tmo recovery instead your current one. (This is why I suggest all variants of the T999 use the d2tmo recoveries).
If for some reason that fails, you need to delete ALL of those getprop lines.

I'm thinking about this and I don't understand that it doesn't work for me because in this method (only for SGH T999V), the link to download CM is for T-Mobile GS3...

I already have the d2tmo clockworkmod recovery then I will open the updater-script directly from the .rar (cm-10.2.1-d2tmo.rar) with notepad++ and delete the assert line and then save it. Like in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwG_F72LgMY
Will it work ?

Can't open it for some reason...but all the getprop lines need to be deleted along with the assert lines.

OK, I just got to my computer and can see the pic you attached now. Yes, the lines in grey need to be deleted. Make sure you do this in Notepad++ with EOL Conversion set to Unix/OSX Format (Under the Edit menu).

Is it right ?
