The thing is I did no clean install, simply overwrited 133 one. And now, I'm even more sure about it, in 134 you can feel the butter project!
First install the recommended Baseband (= .72) then flash the kernel then ROM then GApps then data wipe and you're good to go.
If you still don't know, there are lots of tutorials on how to flash ROMs. Just search

Firstly you need to have ICS with baseband .72
if you get the same error ... then open the rom with any archieve ... open up updater-script in meta-inf folder ... delete the lines till ...
Code:
("ro.product.device") == "haida" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "haida"
and save it ... flash it again done!

I tried both of them but still with no luck.
Now I am on ICS 4.0.4 with Baseband (.72) and have changed the updater-script and removed the lines (as suggested there) till.....
Code:
("ro.product.device") == "haida" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "haida"
But Now I am getting following error while flashing:

Answer these questions:
1. Are you using A Hallon (a.k.a. Xperia Neo) or a Haida (a.k.a. Neo V)
2. Did you download the correct zip corresponding to your phone (Hallon/Haida)
3. In a previous ROM, was your phone listed as what it was not? (a.k.a. You're using a Hallon, but it is written as Haida)
If you answered yes to the third question, then you need to reflash the stock ftf file. THEN flash the custom ROM. Pm me for more help

1. Haida. i.e. (Neo V or MT11i).
2. Yes from here (http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/wiki/CyanogenMod10 THE FXP133 one)
3. Actually I could not understand this question. By the way currently I am on ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware with Base-band (=.72).
This is what I see in my about phone (Attached Image below).
Thanks again for the support. :good:

Dud u flash the kernel first? Through fastboot! Use the boot.img from the zip! Then flash the main zip! Then wipe data, catche, dalvik catche! Reboot!
Should work if u have the right file for your phone!

Alright. This build.prop error is easily fixed. First, flash a stock ROM. Then flash the kernel for the new rom in fastboot mode. Finally, flash the new rom through recovery. Flashing finished!
Don't forget wipe everything, including battery stats

Great! But battery stats are not necessary to wipe! Dalvik is!

I tried to flash fxp134, but when I try to reboot, my phone just shows the fxp logo and then goes black.
Yes, I did everything in fastboot, flash boot and reboot. Just goes black after that.
Flashed back to CM9, and that goes all right.
Went to recovery mode in CM9, wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik), rebooted, turned of the phone, went in fastboot mode.
Tried fxp134 again, still the same thing.
I've been searching fora ever since, but I'm not finding anything that can help me. Everybody seems to at least get to recovery mode.
Anyone who can be of help?

I am currently on Stock ICS 4.0.4 so I guess I should start by flashing kernel (boot.img) first, then the ROM (.zip). RIGHT???
Earlier, I was flashing the ROM (.zip) first, which obviously failed. BUT this was originally mentioned in the FXP Thread.
:fingers-crossed:Anyways, Thanks I will try and let you know the result.:fingers-crossed:

maybe the build.prop file is broken. these informations is stored in the build.prop file under /system folder in the zip of the rom.

---

Didn't work out
Didn't work out that way either.
Any other suggestions???

---

well. there can be either of two problems, or both (donno exactly).
1. updater file is broken. (status 7)
2. build.prop file is broken. getprop("ro.product.device")
OR BOTH.

yeah, one thing that i tried in terminal emulator.
I executed the command:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device")
and it returned
Code:
/system/bin/sh: syntax error: '"ro.product.device"' unexpected
However, when I executed:
Code:
getprop ro.product.device
it returned
Code:
MT11i
Can you provide a possible solution to this??

---

upload the META-INF folder which is inside the zip. and build.prop file which is in /system folder.
I will see what can be done

GOTCHA!!
hey buddy!!
i had the same problem with installing cm 9 official, solution is very easy and it did work out for me, hell yeah i got it from xda, forgot the dev's name but all credits to him!!!
so i've uploaded your updater-script with changes which is causing all problems :highfive:
just removed these lines:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT11i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT11i" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "MT11a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "MT11a" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "haida" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "haida");
im not sure if you've edited your script in other ways, if my file does not work, take the stock updater-script from cm10 zip and remove them ^ till the ";"
:good:
any problems?
reply 'em!!

Hey Everyone,
:crying::crying: I have tried everything. Nothing works.
Is there anything else that i can do. I have tried installing FXP-139, FXP-140, PolishBlood 4.1.1.
In each of them I get same error.
i.e.
Status 7 error (assert failed) with the assert lines in the script.
OR
Status 7 error (synmlink: some symlinks failed) if i remove the assert lines from the script.
I have been searching for solution of this issue from many days now. But to my disappointment Non of the solutions I found out works.
PLEASE can anyone help PLEASE :crying:
