Hi Guys. This problem has me beat and i have been searching around for an answer but cant seem to figure it out
Running the LG E975 - 4.1.2 stock rom on build e97510b. This phone was from ebay and as far as i can tell its from taiwan (has taipei set as default timezone)
I rooted my phone successfully (checked using root checker)
Used freegee to unlock the bootloader and install CWRecovery 6.0.3.0
I Have tried an AT&T Rom, International rom and a rom from the "android development" section also
None of these roms will flash (always says fail)
The error is;
Assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" || getprop(ro.bui
E:Error in /sdcard/Roms/"rom name".zip
Status 7
I have read it could be due to the first line in the updater-script file. i have tried deleting it, saving it however notepad wont let me just save over it. i need to save it as a new file, and replace it in the zip but when i try to replace the file in the zip it says it cant do it due to invalid or corrupted file (surely not every rom ive downloaded is actually corrupted)
Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thankyou in advance
Have you considered they are called e970 roms for a reason?
Use kdz updater to flash stock e975 rom,then root and unlock. After,flash e975 roms. Id you want e970 roms,buy an e970.

Really this is something i can't understand.
Means, you have a e975 so why the heck you flash roms from at&t? And that for the first time you flash a rom on this phone. Why not choose a rom for e975 to be sure that nothing happen. Or maybe you like it more dangerous)))
You should better inform yourself (reading helps) before start flashing roms.
A rule of thumb: flash only that, what is made for your phone(modell)
The at&t rom was an accident, and once i realised it i downloaded a proper e975 rom. The international one and the regular one are boh e975 and they do not work. I think you missed the point im trying to make here, no rom including 2 types of e975 rom will flash due to the error i am receiving
Can you tell what roms aren't working?
Btw. the error you get is only when you flash a rom from a different modell, it's the updater script.
Sure. I have tried Pacman, CM10.1 Nightly and beanstalk
all give me the same error
I am bout to try to flash the "geehrc_unsigned_stock_rom_E975_INTL.zip" rom which is version 10E, my current is version 10B. if this works i will try to flash from that rom to a custom.
Ok i was just able to flash the "geehrc_unsigned_stock_rom_E975_INTL.zip" with no problems in CWRecovery so i did a backup and tried to flash the CM10.1 Nightly and it failed again. im not sure whats wrong

It was the same error as in my original post. I worked out what was wrong just now. Even though i selected CWM recovery in freegee it for some reason still installed TWRP. I did a nandroid restore to the original rom, used freegee again and selected CWM recovery. this time it installed it correctly and roms are flashing properly now. thanks for the help anyway guys

I've observed that quite a few people with the model number E988 have been having trouble in the modding(?) process. Mostly from due to unlocking and flashing a custom recovery via FreeGee (no offense intended to the maker of FreeGee)
So out of curiosity, before I have to unecessarily attempt the dreadful Recovery process again, have any of you guys managed to flash a custom ROM on your E988? If so, how?
(sorry mods if this is in the wrong forum).
I have flashed and used almost all the roms available in the original dev section.......no problems what so ever...... only one rom was problematic....... that is the PA port........ though not mandatory, keep the modem zip handy.......

Install cwm and disable lg security via freegee...and install rom without flashing modem is ok...working..only change apn..
But you can't back to stock rom without flashing kdz..
Once you reboot you can install rom via cwm but can not enter stock rom...

Looks like freegee does not work anymore. E986 or E988. Alternatives? Thanks.

FreeGee works fine on E988. I own one (Indian variant) and I can vouch for it. All you have to do is select "No" on the disable LG security option. CWM will get installed just fine. And since the FreeGee recovery is lokified, you are good to go for any rom including 4.3 ones. Like I said in my previous reply, I have used almost all the roms available in the Original DEV section. Only the PA port causes issues with the signal reception. Rest all work fine. If you are facing problems, be specific and I will try to help.....

I own G Pro e988 and want to flash Cyanogenmod 11.
Can you describe the steps of using the FreeGee app? And what stock firmware should I use with the freegee app. Should I flash stock Jellybean, root and the install FreeGee?
For know I am on stock kitkat (e98820c_twn_XX) and freegee don't work.
Thank you!
Hi people, after a crash I was unable to again update my ROM. So I needed to remove the 1st line (assert) and not it works. The problem is newer version will always fail. Just that exact ROM I changed the update script will work, automatically, if I need to update I will need to again remove the line.
I understand what assert will do, so if getprop("ro.product.device") differs from my device check it will fail. I think the right side from that statement has been lost, I mean, the script will check somewhere (sys var?) to ensure my device is that expected, and that variable is wrong, how to fix that part, so I will no longer need to edit the script.
Thank you for help.

Simple, don't make it difficult for yourself.
You don't have e975 but flashing e975 requires your device to show it is e975 or you have to delete the assert every time.
Example my f180 if rooted, unlocked and flashed custom recovery without convering to e975 will be same as above.

Thank you, but It becomes to happen yesterday just before I tried a new version of Kitkat. I ever need to do such thing, so I know that there exists a way to fix that. With all ROM I tried with my 977 (Avatar, CM, Pacman, and even previous kitkat) that procedure was never necessary.
Fist time I moved from the stock ROM, my e977 "became" a e975, so I suppose it's now a e977 again.
No i think it's the recovery you changed for kitkat, that required mako recovery.
Try changing the recovery first, if that fails flash e975 kdz and start over

When I tried to install the Justin's T-Mobile ROM to LS980 with ZVA version through TWRP, I got a boot loop (TWRP recovery image was installed via Flasify). Restored the factory ROM and tried to flash again, but I got the same boot loop. Is it due to the fact that the phone is on ZVA?
I read in the forum that I can use FreeGee to flash TWRP for LS980 ZVA, but it seems it does not help as well.
Do I need to go back to earlier version (ZV8 or ZV9?) to flash the T-Mobile ROM or is there a way to flash the ROM without going back?
Thanks for help in advance!
here is what i did

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where I can find files to flash radio? I'll read the cm11 thread and see if I can find more info on that.
EDIT:Flashed ZV8 Radio after flashing the T-Mobile ROM it appears booting but I'm getting following error messages:
Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped
Unfortunately, VoIP call has stopped.
These messages keep popping up after pressing OK so I cannot get to the main screen.
What do I need to do now?
Well, I tried to flash the T-Mobile ROM again and it works fine now (without flashing the ZV8 again after flashing the ROM)!

once you flash a radio like you stated. flashed the ZV8 after the rom you dont ever need to do that unless you recover from a TOT. file or switch your radio at some point. once you flash it your good man
and just in-case you didn't know your posting questions in the development area i see you did it twice so i figured you might think your in Q&A
are you using a t-mobile or att based sim card?
Shouldn't this post be in General or Q&A???
Are you good?
if you need any files or help let me know id be happy to help

Google Play Store - No Connection Issue
Hello everyone,
I have flashed Justin's T-Mobile ROM onto my LS980 (Sprint G2) successfully after flashing ZV8 radio.
However, Google Play Store started giving me an error message - 'No Connection'.
I tried to follow the fix in the following thread but when I opened the hosts file there was already " 127.0.0.1 localhost" at the first line. I deleted the hosts file entirely and restarted the phone but it did not work either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994
Does anyone know what I need to do to get Play Store working again? When I factory reset it, it will start working but after few downloads, it stops working and displays the same 'No Connection' error message.
By the way, I have force closed 'automatic update' app disabled notification. Is it possibly why?
Any help will be appreciated!!

Im having issues. The link for the Justin rom is no longer available. i lost my recovery and can only go into download mode. i have no idea how to flash recovery through adb. Do need to install the T Mobile drivers? I have the sprint drivers already installed. The phone doesnt stay on long enough for me to use the simple tool either.

Hi there! I've just tried to flash the latest nightlie to my device (LG Optimus G E-975) and got this error (Screenshot). Any idea how could I fix it? Thanks for your help
PS: I'm using the latest version of TWRP (Official) you could see that in the screenshot.
the second one here is the latest https://mirrors.c0urier.net/?dir=android/Dadi11/Required files/Recovery
also flash this https://mirrors.c0urier.net/?dir=android/Dadi11/Required files/Bootloader Update
Hi! Thanks for the revovery and bootloader, I flashed both of them, but still got the same error when trying to flash the ROM. I think it has something to do with the device's name "This package is for device: e975; this device is geehrc4g." Do you know how to fix that?

you must on e975, flash e975 stock or rom that base on e975.
ive lost my computer HD and lost a bunch of stuff. as for ace ii related things, ive lost mg2 firmware, temp root, samsung drivers, custom recoveries and roms. custom recoveries and roms arent much of an issue since ace2nutzer, chronomonochrome and sergeyl are still actively developing. as for stock firmware and temp root, i cant seem to be able to find a good download site (site that supports resuming/pausing)
id like to humbly request an upload for the barebone basics such as stock firmware, temp root, odin and all the other you-need-these-to-install-custom-rom stuff to an easy to use download service (like google drive)
*EDIT*
my phone is currently out of order and it seems i need to reflash using odin. i was using ace2nutzers cm11 and ran into some issues. then i tried flashing chronokernel 4.4.2 when trying to upgrade to ace2nutzers more recent cm11 build, but im facing philz recovery error 'status 7' when trying to flash anything. it is currently systemless, with only recovery mode (philz) and download mode working
*EDIT2*
in philz it is stating my internal storage as sdcard1 and not 0. my external is called sdcard0
If you have ace2nutzer's kernel, install it by recovery, power off and boot on recovery again.
Then install the ROM you want.
I've never faced status 7 error with CWM recovery 6.0.5.0 of this kernel.
me too, only TWRP didnt work once, and chrono admitted it was a bug he couldnt fix.
i opened up the rom on my friends PC and it turned out it was a corrupted archive. CWM flashed it anyways and that was why i lost the OS. i dont understand why i couldnt just reflash a newly downloaded and checked archive but that too didnt work. i also tried installing the kernel again, rebooted and tried installing the rom again and nope. then removing the whole assert thing under updater-script, it only worked once when installing a kernel. annnd finally after a sleepless night i tried adb sideloading and fastboot recovery, it was a bad decision as now even recovery mode doesnt work -.-
theres a good thing though, download mode still works. im hoping someone can upload a stock rom somewhere safe. i read but dont understand why people say mg2 is preferred.
Mg2 is the newest base band but for your target it doesn't matter right now.
What model do you have, 8160 or 8160P with NFC?
sorry for the late reply, I needed something to get my mind off my old friend
its a standard ace ii, non P/L version

Just install by Odin Russian gingerbread following instructions from YouTube video below.
After this, you'll have the phone like a brand new taken from the factory (at least the firmware).
Then, install any jelly bean stock you want.
And finally you can install the custom ROM you want.
Download Russian gingerbread from this link:

Don't worry about that, I uploaded this Dropbox link and I probably won't retire it for a long time.
This is the only 3 part stock firmware for GT-i8160 and it's the only ROM that can repair almost anything we "do" the phone.
