[Q] assert failed getprop ro.product.device

I have SE X Play with Doomkernel with android 2.3.4 and build no .42 and baseband version -56.
When i try to flash Darkforest RC2 rom via recovery i get following error.
asset failed: getprop ro. product. device
I have ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 installed
Please help me
YES I AM A NOOB

Either flash a stock rom first or open the .zip, find the update script and delete the get prop line

stock rom??
Sorry for stupid question but what exactly is a stock rom? I mean my play shipped with android 2.3.2, then i got 2.3.4 on OTA update.
So to install this rom i shoud go back to 2.3.2??
Also where to find stock roms for X play? I searched android dev forum but could only find latest firmwares.
Could you please provide a link for stock rom
Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem on my r800x. Some help would be greatly appreciated!
I just recently unlocked my bootloader, and I can still flash kernels in fastboot. It's just that every time I try to install a custom rom I get either the Status 7 "getprop." error, or when I remove the .prop lines from the update script I get installation aborted. I also can not get into recovery from any of the custom kernels. I have had to boot into CWM using fastboot every time.

What did you use to edit the update script? Try notepad+ if you use windows, the script has to be formatted for linux.

I know. Still doesn't work.
EDIT: I fixed it! Not only do you need notepad++, but you also have to EDIT the archive and not extract it then re-zip it. The archive software I had (PeaZip) wouldn't let me do this so I had to install 7zip. I'm uploading my edited update.zip for r800x's (based on fxp054) right now.

When I made .zip archives with PeaZip they never worked. I had also tried previously with the archiving utility IZArc to no avail. I installed 7zip and after making the .zip using that it fixed the problem. I'm just saying that may help for some who have has the same problems as me. Particularly with the r800x users. The .zip I put on my other post (and now this one --- in the reason for editing) has all the .prop lines removed from the update script and should work for anybody who has a r800x with an unlocked bootloader (providing you've installed the custom kernel, of course).

You can find the file in ./META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Thank you so much, you fixed my Galaxy Note with the simple deletion of a few lines.

I am having the same issue on my Xperia Arc, where can i find the update script to remove the equivalent lines?
Thanks
Andrew

Do not do this!
I am not sure how other people are having success with this suggestion, but please do not do it. This code must be doing a proper check because I followed the advice and removed the assert. Next thing you know the installation proceeded and messed up. I hard bricked my phone. Yes hard brick, not a soft brick that you can recover from, the hard brick that makes your phone a brick. Just a warning.

It searches for specific lines onto build.prop, but having that check after wiping /system, and so erasing your build.prop will result into an error. Deleting those lines in the updater-script will only let you skip that check, but there's no way to brick unless you flash a rom that wasn't meant for your phone or a different kernel.

[Q] My arc has changed to LT18a? Can't apply new update :(

Hi guys...
I was trying to install a new update (the cm7.2 fxp 116) but it failed and now my phone won't boot...
i've tried to install the fxp113 image and then apply that update, but I keep getting this message:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT18i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT18i" ||...
It continues to write a lot of these, all with == "LT18i" and "LT18a", but then a couple of lines down, it starts to write == "LT15i" instead...
Finally, it gives me an error saying "E:Error in /sdcard/A-IMAGES/cm72fxp113/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-anzu-KANG-signed_fxp113.zip"

Hi Kes,
The problem was that the file I had downloaded was corrupted :/
I restored from an older backup, downloaded the file again (and again...) and got a working file.
Thanks anyway

Did you try with CWM 6?
I had this problem with CWM 5 so i used the boot.img in the RAR of the cyanogenmod i.e. extracted it to android tools folder
then used the command
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
So it booted on CWM 6 and installation was done without any issues.
If you want to reproduce the problem, try installing CM10 with CWM 5.

What version of CWM to use so i can install FXP137?
5.0.2.7 , 5.5.0.4 or 6.0.1.0 and from where to download it and install it for Neo V (MT11i - haida)? I understand that 5.0.2.7 is for GB, 5.5.0.4 works with ICS and now i see that 6 is recommended for JB... Please advise me, it will be helpfully if you give me a link, i have search on a lot of threads and read all this NoobGuide but the version presented is 5.0.2.7 also i have rooted and unlocked my bootloader using testpoint method. Thanks in advance.

Any help?

Solved.
I followed these steps: http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/182438-solved-assert-failed.html
I basically deleted the assert lines from the rom and reflashed. Worked.
