SOLVED!!!
this is what i did to get back to stock after getting the errors above.
first thing, i re-rooted my tab.
once re-rooted, i flashed the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip
then i did used ODIN to flash the stockrecovery file. (everything you need is ont the files for dummies zip
on the tab re-booted, it was stuck in a bootloop.
so i got back into recovery and did a factory/data reset/wipe.
tab rebooted and everything is working fine. back on stock.

Ack! Which method did you use to re-root? I'm getting the same error. I'm trying to root by flashing the root zip file in CWM. It flashes fine, but then I still get the same error. Is there another way to do it?

The problem seems to be the CWM version. I was on 5.x that came with one of the ROMs. So I used ODIN to flash the older CWM 4.0.0.4. Then I was able to flash the stock hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip file.

What do you mean by System Update? What are you on now? Are you trying to flash a ROM? Going to /Downloads and flashing OTA sharp shooter; not sure what you mean by this at all......

A HTC OTA update cannot be flashed using a custom recovery, that is why you are getting the second error. Also a OTA will fail when HBoot attempts to run it when you have a custom recovery installed, that is probably the source of. First error.
Bottom line is that an OTA cannot be installed when you have a custom recovery, so just fine a custom, rooted Rom that is based on the OTA and flash that instead.
all you gotta do is go to recovery try to install it when you get the error pull the battery and go back into recovery from bootloader
Thanks i would make you kool-aid but im fresh out... and that didnt work either

Yea i think your right... O well
Hey guys,
I had a similar problem when trying to flash my Nexus s with CyberGR mod.
Tried pretty much everything from trying to wipe system/dalvik/cache/factory reset and also disabled signature check.
Nothing really happened, i kept getting the error again.
Then i had flashed the recovery image (had a TWRP 2.0 running... changed it to CWM) and then the flash went on just fine.
So my guess is that this something to do with the recovery ROM. I would want to ensure that the recovery image used by the dev and mentioned in the install instructions be used.
Hope this helps.
I just reboot recovery and that fixes it when that happens. Have you tried that? No need for battery pull imo

I have one question. Will I get a triangle like on the Galaxy SII? It has the same warning as the SII before going into download mode AND a counter.

symlink: some symlinks failed error

Hello,
I have the Problem that i can't install any custom rom on my GTab 10.1 P7500.
I'm on stock rom 4.0.4 right now and i tried everything. I want to flash the CM10-nightlies. I tried it with TWRP and CWM.
The error first was "assert failed getprop". I have deleted the first line in updater-script and the error was gone but after that I got the "symlink: some symlinks failed error (status 7) error"
I know that there are some other threads about this issue but with no solution.
Does anyone know what to do here?
Thanks

There are two reasons you'll get the "assert failed". Either the ROM you're trying to install is not meant for your tab (it's for a tab 2 or something else) or you're running an old version of Clockwork Mod recovery. At some point, the GT-P7510 getprop string changed to "p4wifi" but older CWM wasn't giving that as the device name.
First, I'd make VERY sure that the ROM you're trying to install is compatible with your device. Editing the script as you did can brick your device. If you're sure it's OK, update CWM.

Hello,
thanks for the reply.
The ROM I want to install is "cm-10-20121119-NIGHTLY-p4" and it is the right one because the p4 version is for the p7500 GTab 3G.
I have cwm v5.8.3.1. I've downloaded it again and stil getting getprop errors...:crying:
Every custom ROM I try to install I get the same error message...
Does anyone has same issues?

Issue with the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Update

Originally the phone failed to install the 4.1.2 update. It failed with an error such as "assert failed: motorola.motoflash("/tmp/lte.img")". Looked like everything was succeeding in flashing except the radio. That being said, I used fastboot to flash the 4.1.2 update to the phone. This was all and dandy, but 4g didn't work and wifi was a little bit spotty. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I flashed Cyanogen, but still had no 4g. I extracted the update_radio.zip from the radio.img file, and that fails to install in either stock recovery or in twrp. I believe that if I can get this file to flash then it'll fix it in both OSes, but I've hit a wall and ran out of options. Anybody else have any advice?

What type of jelly bean update are you using? What is your phone model? XT910 or XT912?
XT912, the verizon version. If I'm not mistaken, the other one does not have 4g. After the OTA failed, I flashed 9.8.2O-72_VZW-16 Blur_Version.98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US via fastboot.
Found a log file. This looks like the juicy part.

Searched for a portion of the error. Found a thread I hadn't seen before. Looks like I'm going to talk to my good buddies at verizon.

[Q] U.S Cellular SCH-i905 Unroot back to stock help

Need help getting this tablet back to factory stock.
Current Tablet State:
I get get to recovery (CWM v6.0.3.6) and install zips, but the only ROM that it will boot into is cm-10.1-20131020-NIGHTLY-p4vzw.zip... which is a verizon build. Seems like any other version of CWM causes a looping screen.
I can get to downloading mode and use Odin. Only file that works here with cm-10.1-20131020-NIGHTLY-p4vzw.zip is this file here -> PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5. With this combo I can actually boot into cm and I have wifi, but it's not what I am looking for here.
I get invalid binaries on the modem.bin or lte_modem.bin when using Odin if I try using any other PDA file. I can't find the U.S. Cellular version of the firmware anywhere on the internet.
if I try an install hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip from recovery I get this error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "p7100BUKB7"
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
I have tried about every single method on these forums and am unable to get this thing back to stock. Any help would be much appreciated. And whomever helps me fix it will be rewarded with some bitcoins
