[Q] cant flash AOSP (error in CWM)[solved][now with fix]

ok when i flash any AOSP ROM i get an error.. i wipe user data cache dalvik cache and im doing this all on the EL26 CWM repack
ok i have tried this on AOKP build 40 CM9 alpha6 and paranoid android v1.5(new) and 1.6 and i always get the same error.... please help
error:
Code:
finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
assert failed:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "epic4gtouch" | |
getprop("ro.build.product") == "epic4gtouch" | |
getprop("ro.product.device") == "SPH-D710" | |
getprop("ro.build.product") == "SPH-D710" | |
(status 7)
installation aborted.
the last two getprop is from your current build.prop
the first two are from your new build.prop
the must match to flash

What was your fix for this? I have been trying to figure this out for days. I have the Boost Mobile flavor of this device. Its the same hardware... Currently running FI22 (real/stock OTA) with AGAT FK23's repack. I have tried the EL26 CWM5 as well, both give identical errors.

During the Installation process in Aroma, i recognized that the percentage counter reamins at 0 and not as in for example Sonic4 moves to 100 %...
Hopefully that will help you to find and fix the problem.

Seems like your system wasn't mounted correctly! I would say goto mounts and storage and remount( unmount and then mount) the system partition! Then install again!
Be sure u r coming from an ics rom

No, i came from Sonic4, and i had already the same idea, so i tried to mount the /system manually before the installation where the log is from already. At the moment i´m installing again 4.0, but if i can also do another try with mounting the partition manually.

[DEV ONLY]Xperia Z1 kernel building instructions

I think the time has come to share the info about kernel development we've been keeping for ourselves until now. just be sure to ready the complete thread and not just execute everything without thinking. I won't be responsible for any bricks etc.
Warnings!!
- Only start with a kernel if you are a developer with knowledge about kernel developping.
- Always use the specific dt.img build for your kernel!!!!! Very important!
- Don't complain if it doesn't work when you do something wrong!
== Information ==
Let's start with some info first.
MSM8974 needs something new to build a kernel, this is called a dt.img. This basically is an img file which holds information about the board pagesize, kernel version and some other kernel related things. You can only use a specific dt.img with a kernel, this file needs to be generated by a binary called dtbTool. This bin4ry can be found in the Cyanogen repo's or you can download a prebuild one in this thread.
== Compiling a kernel ==
I'll skip this part for now, every kernel dev should know this part maybe I'll add it later.
== Generating a dt.img ==
Basically you will only need your kernel sources and the dtbTool binary, then you need to generate it using a command like this:
Code:
./dtbTool -o ~/dt_files/dt.img -s 2048 -p ./scripts/dtc/ ./arch/arm/boot/
This seems very simple but it's quite important when building a kernel for MSM8974, or other S800 boards.
After this step has been completed you will find your dt.img in a folder callled dt_files, this folder should be in your home of linux now.
== Making the actual boot.img ==
After making the zImage and dt.img you need to have your ramdisk and an mkbootimg adapted for the dt.img to make a booting/working kernel for our rhine board.
be sure the naming of your files is correct:
- zImage
- dt.img
- intrd.img for your ramdisk
You can generate it by using the following command:
Code:
./mkbootimg --base 0x00000000 --kernel zImage --ramdisk_offset 0x02000000 --tags_offset 0x01E00000 --pagesize 2048 --cmdline "androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 maxcpus=2 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 msm_rtb.enable=0 lpj=192598 dwc3.maximum_speed=high dwc3_msm.prop_chg_detect=Y" --ramdisk initrd.img --dt dt.img -o boot.img
Let's get kernel development started for everyone!

Awesome! Thanks! Will tinker around with it tonight!

@krabappel2548 : Thanks for the tutorial
I've been trying to compile the kernel using Linaro, and I'm constantly getting this error :
Code:
scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: bad value (cortex-a15) for -mcpu= switch
kernel/bounds.c:1: error: bad value (cortex-a15) for -mcpu= switch
Could you please tell me what I am missing out on here?

try this
https://github.com/faux123/Galaxy_Note_3/commit/8ad5dd6f969bb76ef970cbf101a255bb093efe5f

If you want to compil kernel, but with a full automation, you can use this script
"scriptZ1" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2346163&stc=1&d=1382568778
With this script you have an automatic download/configuration (Toolchain, dtbTool, etc...)
You must go to $HOME, and "mkdir kernel"
cd kernel
unzip file (only 1 script) => scriptZ1
chmod 777 scriptZ1
./scriptZ1
Follow instructions
that's all

That resolved the issue. Thanks
Update :
I was getting this error :
Code:
ERROR: modpost: Found 2 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
To build the kernel despite the mismatches, build with:
'make CONFIG_NO_ERROR_ON_MISMATCH=y'
(NOTE: This is not recommended)
make[1]: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 2
So I went on to make the build with make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y.
After which, when I tried generating the dt.img, I'm stuck up on this error that says :
Code:
Generating master DTB... error writing output file, please rerun: size mismatch 530432 vs -566
Could someone help please?

@krabappel2548

first download Doom-Lords kernel build tools
then copy dtbtool from msm8978aa folder in to you kernel source directory
then open terminal and cd to your kernel directory and enter these codes:
Code:
./dtbTool -o dt.img -s 2048 -p scripts/dtc/ arch/arm/boot/

bacon refers to one plus 3..device or so...I hope you are building for a one plus 3 device, otherwise you have to change bacon to your device specific call name.

Did you find a solution? I have the same error when attempting to build for Lilac.
Thanks!
