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?
Hey guys.
So, I need some help here... I am trying to flash the PPX Stock V3 rom for Galaxy S3 but I always get the (status 7) error. I tried with another roms and it is the same problem. But I got to flash the ones with aroma installer and it works fine, but I want exactly this PPX Stock rom... I was using the Clockwordmod Touch Recovery and it wasn't working (getting this error) and I've changed to PhilZ Touch and it the problem continues...
Do you have some ideas on what to do?
So, thanks to all.
[EDIT]~
By the way, the problem starts in this line while flashing the .zip
Pure Performance X Firmware
Installing System...
Simlinking...
set_perm: some changes failed
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/[ROM~[XXUGNA7][4.3.1] PPX Stock V3.zip

Make sure u are using the latest version of cmw... Most of the status 7 fails have to do with this.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I am using the most updated... and tried with other recoveries but no sign of progress. And I have read some threads with some possible solutions but still stuck... :/

Try reading the FAQ for philz recovery
First of all, I hope that this thread is in the right section. Here's the issue. I'm new to ROM flashing even though i have been an android user for about 2 years now. Used ClockworkMod for my custom backup. Downloaded Randomblame's taKTiK custom ROM but upon installation i get an error message: E: Error in/external_sd/tt-4.4-20140224-Release12-m470.zip.
The ROM flash begins as follows:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
set_metadata_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error in/external_sd/tt-4.4-20140224-Release 12-m470.zip
(Status 7)
What am i doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

i think its not compatible with your phone
It's a tablet. The ROM is supposedly built for it. I get a Status 7 error which means that the installed version of CWM is not up to date. Can't find any info on how to update it though.
