HELP! error when flashing rom

i'm getting a very strange error when trying to flash any 4.03 rom. so far i've tried buglessbeast, and codename android, also a rom from p3droid, and he fixed the error when removing the line from the build.prop
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "
maguro" || getprop("ro.build.product") ==
"maguro"
E:Error in /sdcard/pete_maguro_ota_02-17-12.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
evidently if you remove the line from the build.prop as p3droid did it can be fixed. but i don't want to have to ask every single dev to do this just for me,
and obviously theres something up with my device thats screwing this up.
so how can i make my device work here.
I had/have android revolution hd installed right now, but i am making sure to do a full wipe through CWM before flashing the new roms

Are you running a Touch Enabled beta version of CWM by any chance?

That error is consistent with an earlier beta of Touch CWM but was fixed in the latest version.
Flash 5.8.0.2 either from zip or via my ToolKit which includes it and it should fix your flashing problems

[Q] CM10 Install questions (not enough posts)

I don't have the post count to ask this question so I hope I'm not violating forum rules posting here. As per the title, I'm trying to install the latest nightly of CM10 on my T999v SGS3. I've installed CWM Touch (latest build) and copied the latest nightly to the root of my phone. I then boot into recovery and then factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then proceed with the installation.
I then get this error.
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20121014-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Would anybody knowledgeable with this be able to direct me to a solution please?
Thanks.
My phone is rooted
My previous ROM was FREEGS3v6 rom with the Trinity Kernel

All I can think of is a bad download. The error it's throwing you says you don't have the correct device/file for the device, so if you have a T-Mobile S3 all I can think of is a bad download.

I have a WIND version so T999v, and after reading the CM10 thread a few WIND users have successfully flashed it. I redownloaded the file but still the same error message.

what recovery are you using? try updating to 6.0.1.2 and try again

It sounds like you have a modified build.prop by the assertion error being thrown. Try flashing another rom first and then reflash cm
Edit: if you want check your build prop and verify that the line ro.product.device has d2tmo as its value
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I checked out that value with build prop editor and it was d2can so do I change it to d2tmo or flash another rom first?

I doubt this will be of much help but who knows. I am a tmo S3 user who just rooted and updated to CM10 (cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-d2tmo-M2) yesterday. I had the same error that you did but all I did to fix it was update to ClockworkMod v6.0.1.2 and then it installed fine. I doubt the v6.0.1.2 would work but Touch would not. I was just happy that I didn't have to mess with the build.prop or anything else to resolve. Good luck.

I had the same problem as you and this is what I did.
I rooter my phone. Am I then install CWM Touch and do the wipes and install CM10 but all this without restart my phone. And this time I did not have the error.

I was having the same problem, so I reverted back to factory stock. Then I rooted my phone and installed cm10 and it worked fine.

It's probably because you wiped system data.
Either restore system img from nandroid backup or flash stock using flashtool.
Read as much info as you can before flashing. Good place to begin would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866

Now you can flash.

Had the same issue after formatting /system in CWM (using Arakmar's kernel 16)
So I just flashed XTXeperience rom (as I was at work and had limited resources!) rebooted into CWM, wipe cache/dalvik and flashed CM10 and GAPPS just fine :good:

Hi there.
I am experiencing the same problem. I had Miui rom and now I'm trying to install CM 10. I keep encountering this status 7 error. Initially I was trying with recovery-nozomy, later with recoverX. Same problem. Now I flashed boot.img from fastboot. I restored system from my backup. Still getting the same error. I even tried editing the updater-script, but then I just got another error message, I believe it was a status 6 error.
Does anyone have any good ideas about how to solve this issue? It would be nice to try CM 10.
Thanks in advance.

maybe you have a bad download. try to redownload, if still persist. flash stock roms then flash the CM.

Thanks, that's also my best explanation. Working on it. In the meantime I installed paranoidandroid without problems.

Ok guys so this is the one that doesn't work for me. I think that the problem is the order of the guide cause he asks to flash the ROM before flashing the kernel. So if a newbie like me follows that guide it may brick their phone.
It won't let me post URLs so is one taking from androidlegend in case you guys see it.
And here is the other one the one the worked for me. And by the way is not that the other guide is completely useless is that the critical part doesn't work (because of the order) but here is the one!!
Ladies and gentleman THE GUIDE THAT REALLY WORKS!! The one that works is at the beginning of this post it's a Youtube video.
Thanks to all the people who made it possible. But just a little question, my phone's battery doesn't last as before, could it be something I missed?

3 days ago, i guess.. if you are coming from cm10 then just wipe cache and dalvik and flash the ROM but i recommend you should also wipe data for a fresh install and for a fabulous xperience.

Hey guys thank yuo all for the replies and the help, I tried it again but instead of wiping everything I just wipe the cache and install and it worked fine. If someone else tries it, don't wipe the dalvik and all of that just wipe your cache and install ZIP from sd card and it'll work fine. Now, how do I close it?

[Q] CWM doesn't read SD card & doesn't flash ROMs

So I am an HTC owner but doing some root & ROM work for a friend of mine. Normally, I load a ROM onto the SD card, boot into recovery, wipe, flash zipped ROM from SD card, reboot, enjoy. However, The GS3 I am working on does not recognize the SD card within recovery. Everytime I try to flash a ROM (CM10 & MIUI thus far) none of them work. I get the following when trying to flash:
-- Installing /sdcard/miuiandroid_d2tmo_jb-3.1.11.zip
Finding Update package

E: Error in /sdcard/miuiandroid_d2tmo_jb-3.1.11.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
Now, this tells me that my download is corrupt somehow. However, I get this exact same message when trying to flash CM10. Furthermore, both ROMs were acquired directly from the dev download links. Has anyone else had a similar problem and can provide a solution?

Wow! I feel like a moron! I use TWRP on my LTEvo so it has been a long time since I've even touched CWM. Looks like the update did the trick. Flashed MIUI and accompanying gapps perfectly! Thank you!
One more question, is there a generic gapps that I can flash across ROMs or no? For instance, I have the gapps that was posted next to MIUI. However, I'd like to see how CM10 runs. Am I able to flash the gapps posted with MIUI or is there a specifically designed gapps file for CM10? I ask because with the Evo gapps are generic and can be interchanged with AOSP ROMs.

Problem installng ROMs

I have the S3 sgh-i747m which I guess corresponds to the d2att version. I rooted my phone with odin and that installed the clockworkmod as well. I tried to install cyanogenmod via the installer but then I ran into the "root may be lost, fix?" message at the end, and no matter what I chose the phone always reverted back to stock. I deleted all instances of KNOX wtihout backup using bloat free (read somewhere that this might be the problem) , but to no avail the issue is still persistent. I then tried to manually install it by downloading the zip version adding it to the sd card and wiping user data/cache/dalvik cache but then when I tried to install from the zip (I also tried it with the d2att paranoid android zip) the android on the screen would drop with the red logo after a few lines of code and say "operation aborted."
What is the issue here and how do I install either cm or pa on my phone?

What is the error message displayed on your screen when the install fails?
Are you using the latest CWM? You should flash ROMs for the d2lte.

Yes, it's the latest package I got from their site cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY. Also fwiw, everytime I go into recovery mode now the cm blue man appears with the samsung logo (I'm guessing from their one click installer which said it was successful even though following the reboot message it reverted back to stock). The full message I'm getting is:

So you mean I should use the d2lte package instead of d2att? Because on their site I saw that my model corresponded with the d2att package.

You should be flashing d2lte ROMs, not d2att or d2can.
You are getting an assert error because your bootloader may not be supported. What is the bootloader or baseband on your phone?
Are you running the latest CWM?

My cmw recovery is v6.0.4.7
So I should try it with this package then? download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte

Yes.
ROMs for the d2can and d2att were unified under d2lte. ROMs labelled as being for a d2att or d2can could be considered "old" in the s3 Android world.

Wow thanks a bunch, that was the issue. Posted this on the cyanogenmod forums 2 days ago and nobody answered with any input.

You're very welcome. We're all here to share our experience and knowledge so everyone can learn and help others:victory:

Also was thinking of changing the cm11 kernel to something that allows the device to be overclocked to 1800mhz or so, since this one goes to 1500 only. Are there any current inherently superior kernels out there working with the cm11 version that are worth switching to? (since from a quick search I see most of these have only been tested with cm10). Or is it better to not mess with it and leave it as is, since the only 2 uses I want is to underclock for battery life, which you already have, and overclocking since before I had some apps running slow (but again don't know if the boost to 1800 is a huge step up, and whether at the same time there are any risks of crashing or something running it at this speed).

I'm can't recommend a particular kernel since I tend to leave things as is. The only thing I change under performance tweaks is settings the phone to ondemand and noop.
Since you are running CM11, you must ensure the kernerl is for CM11 and not AOSP.
