CM9 won't flash

I\ve downloaded the d2att CM9 zip file transfered to sd card, factory wiped then tried to install zip from sd card but keep getting the error after it starts installing update
"assert failed: get prop ("ra.product.device) =="d2att get prop (ra.build.product == "d2att E:error in sd card/cm-9-20120722-nightly -d2att.zip (status 7) install aborted
Any suggestions?

Are you using the right recovery?

I had to buy the new Rom manager on the playstore and flash my first nightly through there.
Otherwise you have to change some lines of code.
It's discussed in the T-Mobile cm9 nightly thread.

Make sure you downloaded the right version for your device; that's a buildprop error saying the device you're flashing to doesn't match the buildprop inside the file.

Yeah that's why I'm confused. I download directly from Rom Manager I didn't have a list of CM9 variants to choose from it just downloaded it
I'm wondering if my Rom Manager thinks I have a diffrent phone and how to change it

might have got this one cased
I didn't have the right verison of recovery. I have 5.8.1.3 and need to flash 5.8.4.7 I have the file but it a img file how to i get the img file from my comp to my phone. I tried just placing it in the phone. not sure i should update sd card in recovery or not please some one help !!!! I really want to get rid of my stock rom

omg i think it might have worked but i can't get past the bootimage

Yeah i found a zip file and downloaded that its 5.8.4.5 but it seemed to work but now i can't back up my rom because my sd won't mount in recovery and a couple of things arn't workking like facebook contact sync, swype, might switch back to stock rom not sure yet

[Q] (status 7) some symlinks failed when installing ROMs.

when trying to install a new rom i get the same error (status 7: some symlinks failed) with the cm10 and eclipse ROMs. I don't seem to have any trouble with Buglessbeast and euroskank. I have googled and searched XDA but none of the other threads are for the toroplus.
Edit: Thanks for all the help guys. I'm still having this problem.
Things i have tried: go into mounts and remove the top X on the list.(TWRP)
flashing a stock kernel gets me stuck in a boot loop.
I am using the franco kernel and had this same issue using CWM before switching to TWRP.

You can try this...

try booting out of recovery into the bootloader, then back to recovery to reflash.

If you do a Google search you should find some information on it. Its something with the Franco kernel changing the sdcard. Have to download And move the original back into it's correct place

Huh?
Op never even made mention to the word "kernel" in his post.
Not to mention kernel is not even running in recovery (which itself is a small os).

Are you using TWRP recovery? If you are that's the issue. The latest update has a flaw, you have to go into recovery, go into mounts and remove the top X on the list. They said they where working on releasing a correction for it. If your not on TWRP then I don't know what's going on.

I was using cwm but switched to TWRP to retry. Same issue.

Try it when you get into recovery, go to mounts, remove the X on the top option on the list then flash the rom see if it works.

I had this same issue yesterday, and it was related to flashing a kernel. Sorry for trying to help

I have also seen something similar. What most people don't realize is the some kernels, including Franco, change things in /system as well, which messes with some things.

Okay, thanks. I was not aware of this. Will checkout some kernel zips to see what's going on.

no one here was help but i think i figured it out myself.
try this and see if it works.
when you go to install the rom, before doing so wipe data (factory reset) three times.
i was so frustrated about it i finally said **** it and didnt care if i lost everything, but i didnt loose anything so all is well.
let me know if that works

Huh? What is siyah 5.0b2???

I did a manual "format /system" from Clock Work Recovery, fixed it for me, Seems the Wipe/Factory reset does not reset the system partition correctly for some strange reason.
This was an issue after a custom kernel.

Wipe/Factory reset does not touch the system partition at all. This is normal. It only wipes the userdata partition.

Had a bad download and on initial install I formatted system however it failed. Went back and formatted system and cache manually and worked for me.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I read in the MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.2.1 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846, first post specifically) that unmounting /system fixes this problem, and sure enough it solved the problem for me when I tried to flash that ROM.

[Q] PA on 317M E: Fail

Hey guys,
I am using PA on my Galaxy Nexus and loving it, not I am trying to put it onto a Note 2 (317M)
Not to sure why I am getting a E:signature verification failed when I am trying apply the rom in recovery mode...
I rooted with Odin, I have CWM installed, wiped the cache and did data/factory reset.
Also I downloaded the file from this link, which I got from the Note 2 PA page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069430
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
JERF!

maybe you got a bad download? did you verify md5?

Must be a bad download, or something else. Not to sure why its not working...
To bad, I love this ROM.

Just downloaded & installed.
Try to re-download

Or try TWRP. I've had issues with cwm not being able to install certain .zip files and twrp works fine

i just installed paranoid last week to test for a few days with cwm no problem. op most likely didn't verify the md5 so that's why he's guessing he's got a bad download and doesn't know for sure. that's probably the easiest way to confirm whether or not it's worth flashing. got a bad download and didn't verify md5, then you'll run into problems and i dunno.. worst case brick your phone.

aokp kernel

hello im currently on an older build of the aokp. ive decided to update to the newest build, but i see that it says i would have to update my kernel as well to use the new rom. Ive never done this and would appericate some help. I opened up the q & a forum and searched for kernel but it didnt tell me anything. thanks, step by step instructions would be awsome thanks.

The kernel is packaged with the rom. Download the rom and gapps. Wipe and flash them both in recovery. If you hold on another week or so, they're releasing a 4.2.2 milestone (supposedly)

If you are flashing a new version of Tasks aokp from an old version just wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash newest version, flash gapps ( there is a newer version linked on his op). Kernel is built into the ROM.
If you are flashing from a different rom you need to factory reset and format system as well as wipe cache and dalvik.

Hit thanks instead of quote. You need to update your recovery version. That's what a status 7 means.

If you are using clockworkmod download ROM manager and update recovery. If you are using twrp install goo manager and update recovery script.

And if you got far enough into wiping that you can't boot into the phone, follow the link in my signature. Near the bottom of post #2, in the must have toolkit part, there are links to recovery flashable cwm and twrp zips. Cheers

That's not the rom's problem. That's mean the zip file maybe not properly download. Maybe it was not complete download or something similar like that. Did you check the md5sum?
