[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.

Sorry your right i did mean notepad++ there should be no issue unpacking the rom, as long as you repack it as a .zip, i use winrar and never had issues

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).

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] Baseband 10.1

I have a S3 with Virgin Canada,I747-baseband "I747MVLLH1" , currently running 4.1.2 CM nightly. I went to update to the CM 10.1 d2att stable today and it gives me error 7 ro.bootloader .I have the most updated recovery.So I opened the rom and in the check sequence my baseband is not there ?
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att");
assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDLK3" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MVLDLK4" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MUMBLK3" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MUMBLL1");
So does that mean d2att is no longer good for my phone,,thats the last rom I used was the d2att? or could I edit it to put my baseband in?
Thanks alot

Flash the latest jb stock rooted Rom for your phone ( I747M, right?). Use Rom manager or goo manager to install recovery. Flash cm.

I already have a recovery on and I'm running CM 10. The problem is when I try to update to the 10.1 Stable that just came out I get an Error 7 because my baseband is not in the status check before it loads the rom,what I would like to know could I just add the line
"getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MVLLH1" || into the below code? thanks
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att");

Your bootloader is out of date.
There are multiple threads on how to do it and will have the necessary files.

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.

[Q] Can't install AGNI kernel - assert failed... confused!

Hi,
Got a weird problem with my Note 2 GT-N7105 when trying to install the latest AGNI kernel (version 4.3.7) as it's coming up with an assert error when trying to detect my device. I have tried this from both philz and mobile odin both do the same thing. I studied the error message and it seemed it wasn't able to detect my device as an N7105 when that is exactly what I have.
I have attached a screenshot of my about page to show that's what I have.
So I edited the updater-script file first by removing the assert statement which also didn't work it just failed later on, and then by adding the following code to the beginning of the file so it would output what it's detecting my device as:
Code:
ui_print("ro.product.device is: ", getprop("ro.product.device"));
ui_print("ro.build.product is: ", getprop("ro.build.product"));
Strangely it detected my device as t03g which of course isn't in the assert list:

Can anyone explain what's going on? How is it my device being an N7105 is showing up as an N7100 from that script? I'm assuming I can just install AGNI over the top of the samsung stock rom? (I don't want a custom rom, I only really want the boefla sound enhancements provided by that kernel so I can increase the headphone volume). Or do I need a custom rom before this will work? Or is it something else entirely?
Thanks

Unable to install cyanogenmod 12.1

Hi!
I just aquired a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-9195 this week and got stuck at installing CyanogenMod 12.1.
TWRP 2.8.7.0 samsunggalaxys4mini64bit is up and running.
Next i tried to install the official builds serranoltexx (first stable, then nightly) and i got this error message:
This package is for device: serranolte,serranoltebmc,serranoltektt,serranoltexx; this device is serranoveltexx.
E: Error flashing zip 'cm-12.1-*.zip'
I'm not quite sure what is going on right now. Did the devs just forget to add this deviceName to their updater-script, or is there a reason for this?
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranolte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranolte" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranoltebmc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranoltebmc" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranoltektt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranoltektt" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranoltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranoltexx" || abort("This package is for device: serranolte,serranoltebmc,serranoltektt,serranoltexx; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + ".");
If there's no chance or it's at least veary unlikle the smartphone gets damaged i'll just try to add this rule manually.
Any help appreciated

Your phone is the new GT-I9195I ''serranoveltexx''
Currently, there is no custom ROMs for this device because of its different specs.
Please refer to this thread for more explanations : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/general/galaxy-s4-mini-plus-t3041208
