[Q] Unable to flash another ROM with PhilZ Touch Recovery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash JellyBam and a MIUI ROM, but both failed with status 7.
I saved a log from Aroma installer after trying to flash the MIUI ROM:
Code:

EDIT: Did some more digging and found that the ROMs that failed to flash had an assert command in the beginning of the script,
while the ROMs that worked didn't have an assert command. Is it safe to disable assert command from recovery or remove it from the script?
Or what should I do to flash these ROMs?

Flash a dorimanx kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219 (don't boot) then reboot recovery (in advanced), wipe data (backup with titanium) then flash rom, wipe cache and devlik cache and then reboot

Thanks, that worked.

P990 - same issue
Will this solution work for the Optimus 2x as well?
Thanks.

A kernel for the i9100 has ZERO chance of working on an Optimus 2x.

Then what solution do you recommend for the same issue encountered on the P990?

Maybe a solution found in the forum for that device?
This thread is in the forum for the GT-i9100 Galaxy S II. Chances of you finding a solution for whatever problem you're having on your Optimus 2x in this forum are pretty small.

OMG! Can someone at least try to give an answer that is useful?
The reason I posted it here was because it is the exact same problem I have that has been described here. I am fully aware this is an S II thread, thanks for pointing that out!

The error shared is because the update script is c comparing the value of the device identity with a pre-set value in the update (Galaxys2 & Gt-I9100) another solution would to be open the update file hash the lines for the assert and continue to flag bit that would mean disabling a security feature that was put there to prevent faulty flashs.
And yes you re far from where you need to be and I'm no expert in Optimus.

Seeing as how I am an i9100 user, and know nothing about the Optimus 2x, my suggestion for you to go to the Optimus 2x forum to ask other Optimus 2x users is perfectly useful.
Just because you got the same error doesn't mean the solution is the same.
And it didn't seem like you knew where you were, because you asked if flashing an i9100 kernel would fix your problem on your Optimus 2x. Kernels for specific devices do not typically work on other devices. Especially if there are major hardware differences. There is a piece of useful information you apparently did not know.

@ilovefls - More to the point, if you flash something meant for the I9100 on whatever the hell phone you have (didn't notice/don't particularly care), there's a fair chance you'll brick it.
So....You can either take the well intentioned advice (and it was well intentioned; nobody told you to get nicked like I am now) you were given & ask in the forum specific to your device, or you can break your phone. No skin off our nads either way.
Actually, the latter would be pretty funny given how dopey you obviously are. I figure it would be just deserts.
