[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.

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.

Using ROM Manager helps you keep your CWM recovery up to date. You can find the app in the play store

Pretty sureroot is ok. But you do have to be stock recovery, system, modem...
No mods no debloating.
And with otas you must be on the correct build to start with. Usually UVALH2.

Do you mean it stays stock recovery? Or does it fail when flashing?
If its the first one, and you're still rooted delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
And
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery.

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.
HELP!:crying:

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

Just to be clear: Load the CWM you linked onto SD. Reboot into CWM, flash new CWM, reboot and wipe?

Yup. After flashing that zip and rebooting into recovery it'll reboot into the updated recovery.
Make a backup first of course.
I'm on Telus which is also a d2can phone. I've been running twrp for d2att since I bought the phone in Jan.

Hi there, I tried flashing from recovery, choosing zip from sdcard, and I got the same exact error assert failed: getprop(" ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop( " ro.build.product " ) == "d2att" E:Error in /sdcard/CWM-recovery_ATT-6.0.2.3_2.zip

Installation aborted.
I tried exactly what you said, still nothing.

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.

Correct. Find the .tar of the recovery. I think you can find the TWRP .tar on their website

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.

CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Installation Error "Status 7"

Greetings! This is the first time I've felt compelled to post in the forums, so I apologize in advance if this happens to be in the wrong section. I've been running CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999VVLLH2 (Mobilicity) for quite some time now, and have only recently been interested in downloading and installing the nightly installments that are released.
I haven't had any issues installing the new nightlies at all, until seemingly after revision 20130513. It seems that after this installment, I receive an "assert failed, get prop, status 7" error, upon the attempt at installing any newer nightly revisions. Now, I did a tremendous amount of digging around before I decided to make the post, and discovered that within the newer revisions, the updater-script now seems to flag certain Baseband versions of the phone, and prior to revision 20130513 (currently have), it didn't, and I had no issues installing.
When I go into the CyanogenMod settings, all of the nightly updates are available, as usual, up to the latest at the time of the post (20130524) but none will install. In the latest revisions the updater-script does show a similar version (T999VVLDLL1), which I've come to understand is an update for the software.
Am I required to do another update before installing the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies? Or is there another solution I haven't discovered yet? Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
On a side note, I am running the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery as well.

Im surprised that it happened to you on an AOSP recovery. Usually it happens when its a modded recovery with a kernel.
Try TWRP. Or check for an update.

You need to flash a firmware update that will update the bootloader. Not the UVDMD5 one though for sure because that's for T-Mobile. Maybe the other one. Lemme try linking you to the thread.

The latest T999V firmware is VLDMF2. It's been out less than a week so many cm and aosp roms will not have added I to their asserts to allow install.
Downgrade to LL1 firmware for now and it should flash.
Or change the asserts in the updater script

Well first thing you should do is update that old recovery. May be that's all you need.
The reason I mentioned the T999V firmware is because that's what the rest of the thread was for, so I assumed that's the model you had.
What model is your device? The T999 is a US only variant, the T999V is the Canadian variant. The European models should be the international ones, I9300.
If yours is international, do not flash anything you find here!

i do not know if its internatianl oder t-mobile. but it should be t-mobile because starting the phone there is t-mobile logo and it is rent from t-mobile
anyway i installed new recovery 6. via google play but in recovery mode there is still Status 7. even its t-mobile. i can try every version because there is always status 7 so i can not damge phone installing wrong version i think. o the other hand i have always wipe chare/ factory before installing the cyanagenmod. i must restore data now and system setting by advanced backup thats kinda annoying. but next i should maybe try INT. now

If you don't know what model it is, don't flash anything!

Error installing pacman rom

I've been trying to flash the 4.3 pacman rom to my galaxy s3 and it refuses to work. I get the assert failed status 7 error. I've tried deleting the assert lines in the update file like a lot of people have recommended but then it just says "Error flashing zip" when I try again. I've also tried using different recoveries (twrp and cwm) still nothing. I've done all the wiping and stuff and any other rom seems to work just having trouble with this one for some reason. I looked around and it seems there were other people with issues just wasn't able to find a solution to it. Any ideas?
