Help! Unable to flash rom! [SOLVED] - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi all
Serious problem with my mini st15i
I was running cm10 fxp 211 with mesa kernel v4.2
Yesterday everything magnified by 200% on the screen and I tried reflashing cm10
But my phone didn't allow me to.
Now I have tried 4 diff ROMs and have not been able to flash any.
This is the error message I get:
"Error updating zip file (status 7)" on TWRP recovery
Similar error on CWM
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!

Try this,
open the zip file in pc (don't extract)
navigate to META-INF>com>google>android>updator-script
try removing the first three lines using notepad++.
something like this
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "SK17i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SK17i" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "SK17a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SK17a" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "mango" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "mango");
f it still doesn't work, redownload the zip file, it will work

Cyanogenmod on i9100p?

Hi,
I just tried to install this rom on my i9100p (the one with NFC) but failed the initial test... looks like it can be installed only on plain 9100, 9100M and T but not P... why is that? i've read that apart from the NFC it's just the same (in fact i had no problem installing CWM and after that when the phone boots it says i9100)...
i tried to search for the piece of code that it show on the screen as an error, but unfortunately I couldn't find where it is... the error is:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100M" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100T"
so it should be matter of adding a couple ORs and voila... or maybe is there a way to change my model name somewhere?

wel thank you, it did help, cause i understood that i had to modify the updater-script!
but now i get another error it just says error in .zip and (status 6), before it was status 7...
but i'm not really sure if i'm doing it correctly... when i'm in recovery mode, i go to install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard and then i choose update-cm-9...zip
instructions only say "flash cm9"...
i have rooted the phone with CWS and nothing else...

[Q] Can someone help with CM 10.1?

Hello all.
I recently saw a post about cm 10.1 for xperia p and i rushed to download and install it. I am using xperia p stock jb rom with unlocked bootloader , rooted with CMW and when i tried to flash it from CWM the instalation was aborted.(status 7) can someone help me please? i really want the android 4.2.2 thanks.
Just delete in zip archive in file \META-INF\com\google\android updater-script first 3 lines and flash archive!
Thanks for your interest but i already did, installation aborted status 0.
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "C5502" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "C5502" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "C5503" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "C5503" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "C5506" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "C5506" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "dogo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "dogo");
but there are 4 lines not 3.
Download the zip again, or flash CM10.1 kernel, then install the rom.

[Q] Cyagenomod 10.1 not installing on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 IG100 international version

A definite noob in the Android world , I have rooted my phone using the package ZSMSA Android 4.1.2 root package from the instructions found here from android.gs ; and then proceeded to install CyagenoMod 10.1.2 rom . After rebooting I get errors which is similar to this :
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100M" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100P" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100T"
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100M" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100P" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100T"
My phone is GT i9100 . Is there anything be done to fix this . I am running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 .
I had the same error when first installing CyanogenMod 10.1 on my phone. First, make sure you have the correct version of CyanogenMod for your device (make sure it is for the GT-I9100, and not the GT-I9100T or other variants) and move the files to your computer.
Extract the .zip file.
Once unzipped, browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory.
You will find two files called “update-binary” and “updater-script”.
Rename “updater-script” to “updater-script.txt” and open with a text file editor.
Delete the line starting with “assert” to first semi-colon, including the semi-colon. Usually this is the first line or one of the first lines at the top of the text file.
Save the file and rename it back to "updater-script".
Re-zip the new, edited files and copy to your phone (make sure you copy the edited file, not the original by accident).
Install the new, edited .zip in recovery and all should be fine
Also, try using different versions of CWM if this doesn't work first time. You can use the "ROM Manager" app to install different versions of CWM, try older or newer versions if installing CyanogenMod does not work with the edited .zip file.

But there is a more simple solution. Lucky for you, the CyanogenMod Installer Beta has recently gone up, and the GT-I9100 is a supported device follow this link
https://plus.google.com/communities/103540722025986617902
and join the community, using the Installer should avoid errors like the one you are experiencing.

LG Optimus p760 Cyanogen Mod 11 for p765 (India)

I read that I can flash the p760 Cyanogen Mod [OFFICIAL] on my p765 (India) by simply removing the "nfc.apk" file. Is it true? Will it not be buggy?
Also, do I remove the "nfc.apk" after pasting CM11 on my sdcard, or before pasting (i.e., deleting the file from my computer) ? Or do I remove this file after I flash the custom ROM?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks!
It Works!
Doesn't matter now. I went ahead and flashed the p760 rom. It works perfectly fine!

Hey man, even I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on my lg l9 p765. But when I try to install the .zip file from the cwm recovery mode, it says :
assert insert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p760"
|| getprop("ro.build.product")=="p760"
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/cm-10.2.1-p760.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Please help me through this step!
Go to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Open it and delete line which looks like this:
PHP:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p760" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p760" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "p765" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p765" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "p768" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p768" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "u2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "u2" || abort("This package is for \"p760,p765,p768,u2\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););
