[Q] Error flashing CM 7.1 on NC

I downloaded CM 7.1 stable for my Nook color, and when I go to install I get an assert error with a "status 7".
I've done a lot of flashing of ROMs on my DX, but I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing. I've pretty much just done the usual routine for flashing a new ROM:
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache,system,data,dalvik cache
- flash ROM zip file
No luck for any ROM I've tried. Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?

Go over the steps in my sig. If that's no help check out the links in it particularly eyeballer's and mrg666's.

Thanks, I'll try it out. Why don't the official CM7 and MIUI builds work?
Are there other Mirage Kangs I can try out? Any good ICS ones?
Thanks again,
Mike

Also, I'm assuming if I have CWMR already installed I don't need the boot SD, correct?

Same problem. I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "encore"
E: Error in /sdcard/download/encore_CM72_MiRaGe-06082012.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does this mean I have to do the SDcard boot?

In theory you could put any ROM in place of M-K you wanted but if you are wanting ICS I would install using one of those instruction threads. All I was suggesting was that you go over the basic steps I outline to make sure you weren't missing anything.
And yes, it sounds like something got corrupted and you need to start from scratch. I would at this point. I always look at it as time to flush the old and try out some new.

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

So, I tried unrooting and doing a stock recovery, then using a boot-sdcard to flash any number of ROMs. I still get the same error.
At this point it seems something is fundamentally wrong. I tried several options on the flashing, nothing seems to get around this error.
Is there anything else I can do here?

When you say you were able to do a stock recovery, what did you mean by that? Were you able to flash a stock ROM to emmc with recovery? Or did you do an 8 failed boot reset?
Also, what version of CWM are you using?
The problem you are having is the install zip cannot verify that it is flashing to the correct device. If it can't find that 'encore' in your properties it will abort. I'm not sure where that property is stored on your emmc, but the zip is not finding it.

I did a factory reset from the nook settings. Is that not sufficient?
I'm using CWM 5.x (don't have it handy to check, I can get the exact version if needed).

What do you mean by emmc? I'm having to dig a little deeper on this one than I usually do, so I'm not familiar with all the terms.
It sounds like my root-revert wasn't as complete as I thought.

No, you'll need to either flash the original version of your firmware or do an 8+1 reset.

Embedded Multimedia Card. The flash memory internal to the Nook Color.
Keep listening to leapinlar. Nothings broke beyond repair and he's teaching more than you in this thread.

Emmc means embedded multimedia card. It is basically an SD card built into the Nook. It is where all of your internal information is stored. It is partitioned into 8 partitions to hold various kinds of information, like the system files for your ROM, and data that is specific to your installation (application settings, your login info, etc.).
When you did the factory reset it cleared the data info, but not the system info. That is good if you want your stuff off, but it does nothing to the system files (including the root files). So someone else could put their info in and yours will be gone.
Somewhere on one of those 8 partitions is info stored that tells the zip you are an encore. (It's 1, 2 or 3, I just don't know which). The zip is not finding it. That could be because one of those partitions is corrupt. Or the data could just be missing.
If you truly did a factory restore, like flashing a factory zip to emmc, then the info might come back.

OK, thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do.

I also think I had modified some of the system info when I originally rooted this thing. It's not my device, and now the owner (much father in law) wants more than just a rooted device, he wants the full tablet experience. And I like hacking someone else's device.
Long story short, I'm learning quite a bit here, so thanks...

Try looking here (post 148). It is a Stock Rom zip for 1.4.1. Try flashing that with your CWM. Use the first one. It still has an assert statement in it so it may also fail, but it is worth a try.

status 7 error
I'm on and a nook tablet and I'm trying to flash 7.2 stable, I already have CM7 Alpha on the nook which the install had gone smoothly. I tried to use rom manager which gets me to clockworkmod but I get the same error - status 7 when trying to install the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip that I downloaded from cyanogenmod.com.
I've tried downloading it a couple of times, I've tried a bootable sd card but I still get status 7 when trying to install. I've followed the install guide cyanogenmod's wiki to the letter but I cannot get past that error. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Right now I'm back to CM7 Alpha.

It's because you are on a Nook TABLET. CM 7.2 is for a Nook COLOR. They are completely different devices. If you want to brick your Tablet, keep trying to install this!

mikecico, are you sure you are on a nook color? They look almost identical, but the nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet is silver. Like I said in my post above, they are different devices and that may be why the zip is rejecting the install. It's doing its job.

I just did a check on the model number, BNTV250. It's a tablet.
Sorry for the noise guys. I think he had told me it's a NC, and I used a NC root method successfully, so I had assumed that was correct.

Need help changing ROM Criskelo 5 to liquid smooth 3.2

Hi Guys,
I am trying to change my ROM from Criskelo 5.1 (has speedmod kernel but dont think that should make a difference) to LiquidSmooth 3.2. Usually this is a pretty straight froward process but for some reason I just cant get past CWM. Here is what I've done so far.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash AbyssNote 3.2 (redtouch) and reboot into AybssNote.
Wipe everyting (inlcuding dalvik and battery)
Flash LiquidSmooth 3.2
On doing this the phone restarts - as is expected - but then it just reboots in CWM. I've tried various permutations of this (even tried wipes from CWM before going into Abyss) in the hope that it might work but nothing seems to work. Before this I tried to go Criskelo 5 to 8 and got stuck on boot screen.
Thanks God for nandroid or this would have become an extremely frustrating experience. Any ideas ?
EDIT: Used AbyssNote 4.2 and not 3.2 .... sorry about that

Have you try other ROM besides LiquidSmooth? Since it stuck in CWM, I suspect the installation script for LiquidSmooth is not compatible with Abyss 3.2 CWM.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that .... I have a really slow net connection at the moment and don't have any GB stock roms saved (next time I'll think twice before I delete stuff ). Is there any other way I can do this or is this the only option I have ?

I tried to update to Criskelo v8 and in that case I got stuck on the boot screen. Had to do a hard reset and get back into recovery manually.
Sorry about the confusion, I actually used Abyss 4.2 (which I got from the Liquid Smooth thread) so I don't think there should be any compatibility issues.

Go back to abyss42 and factory reset from within abyss42 (red menu). Also do cache and dalvik wipe.
Reinstall your custom rom.
And since you have a slow connection, there is a chance your files are corrupt.

Do a unzip -t <zipfile> to verify the file is not corrupted. As above post stated, it maybe a corrupted zip file.

Did all of that i.e Factory reset from within Abyss42, clear cache and dalvik wipe.
I guess I'll try downloading again but why I doubt that would fix anything since this is the 2nd ROM I've had the same issue with. Well not exactly same, in the case of Criskelo 8 it gets stuck on boot screen where as with liquid smooth 3.2 it keeps going back into CWM . Still worth a try though. will update tonight once I get to download again.
Anyway of verifying whether my files are corrupt or not ?

Is a zip file, so just get one of those app that can open zip/compressed file from the Google Play. I use AndroZip, FYI. I believe there are more choices in Google Play.

Hi, i tried to update from android 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 but i got a problem... i put the "dload" folder into my 16GB sdcard and press both volym keys while pressing the power button. Its unpacking and everything but when it changes to "installing" i get a message that the "update failed".
How do i fix this?
Things i have tried: Formatted sdcard and put "dload" folder into it
Downloaded an other gingerbread update
Factory reset and then tried update
Start the update from the internal sdcard
Start the update without the battery inserted and USB connected
Please help me!

Dload on root of your sd card. After that you must press both Vol + and - with Power key to boot on Pink Screen.

Had the same issue

Problem was my Motherboard of the phone
could go from 2.2.1 up to 2.2.2 and that was it
It even erased my IMEI number
Luckily it was under warranty
So they replaced my motherboard and now all is ok again

I had the same problem. So, I will point 2 things:
1. It may be a slow card. Try to add the dload folder in the internal card.
2. In case you use the B512, you need to put the UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_G.APP in the dload folder at the same time.

Okay, im using android 4.0.3 atm so if anyone else got the same problem as me, just use CWM to install a custom 2.3.7 rom or do like me: stock 2.2.2 -> custom 2.3.7 rom -> custom 4.0.3 rom ^^

A Custom ROM will always work !!
But you will and cannot upgrade with the Original Releases by HUAWEI
( please check if you still have your IMEI )
I had the same trouble as you did
And if you still have warranty then send it back !!
PS :
I tried fast MicroSD cards and slow 2GB 4GB 8GB and 16GB no luck at all
Internal memory same issues
With Battery or without still no luck

If original update fails while using sdcard try to copy dload folder into internal disk then unmount the sdcard and try to update again.
If your imei isnt nulled %99 it should update.
Btw please consider backing your imei before doing any update with 5iromtoolbox.

Jelly Bean

hi all, just this minute decided i want to try put Jelly Bean on my X8.
at the moment i have the stock android 2.1 that came with the phone. its rooted so i could use a custom launcher.
now firstly. if all failed or i wanted to restore the phone back to its original android 2.1, how would i do that? do i need to do a back up of the phone?
if so, how do i do this and what with.
now for the Jelly Bean rom. i want the best and most stable jelly bean rom that will not play up and work 100% including the camera.
which is the best jelly bean rom for my x8?
and how do i get the custom jelly bean rom on my x8.
bear in mind i have never done anything like this to my x8 before i could brick it as i dont have a clue what to do. so can someone give me the best noob guide or video that would be easy for a idiot to understand.
thank you to anyone who will help me
Dan.

Hey there. So now your phone is running rooted Android 2.1. First can you check the sticker behind you phone?(Turn off your phone and pull out the battery). Make sure the manufacturing date is below than 11W29. If it's above 11W29 you can't unlock your phone's bootloader and you can't install any JellyBean ROM. If it's below than 11W29 you can unlock your phone's bootloader using guides in this forum(Search unlock bootloader x8). After you have done unlocking the bootloader you now can proceed to installing custom kernel which is Oxydo-JB kernel or nAa-JB kernel using FlashTool. Then, you can flash MiniCM10 4.0.2 which is JellyBean ROM onto your device.
If you make any mistake during unlocking bootloader process it will result in hard brick. Make sure you follow the steps carefully. If you done everything correctly you can enjoy JellyBean on your phone. If you somehow managed to softbrick your device you can revived it using PC Companion or Flashtool. But it is better to make a backup in case something goes wrong.
Hope I helped you.

Here's the link to the stock 2.1 firmware. You have to flash this using FlashTool.
If you want to backup your stock ROM you have to install a recovery into your device. You can do this using x8toolbox. And after that, you can backup the stock ROM using the recovery.

If I'm not mistaken, status 7 error is because corrupted zip file. Have you tried redowloading the ROM.zip file and check the MD5 sum?

surely all 5 or 6 of them roms shunt have corrupt. plus I had downloaded one of them 3x and was still same.

@Vega_Dan
If you get Status 7, do this:
1. Open up the ROM.zip file.
2. Open up updater-script from META-INF>com>google>android.
3. Remove the first few getprop lines.
4. Save it and try flashing now.
Hope this helped.

I don't know if I have removed the right bits or not.

success guys. its seems it was the oxydo-jb that was the problem because I have used the nAa-JB kernel and its worked.
I now have MINI CM10 JB now.

[Q] U8800-51 totally ruined! pls help

Hello guys! first of all sorry for my English!...well i messed up my u8800-51 and i cant get it to work, i´ve read most of related posts, but nothing work, so i'll try to explay what happened, i hope u understand my issue and help me...
Ok i had a 2.3.5 GB non-official installed, from androidmovida.. my phone was working just fine, but due to all the apps and media it was kind of slowing down, so i restored it to factory settings... when i did this, my phone started up normal, and it was almost perfect again, but i realized that even without any app installed i had 800mb of the ROM occupied, leaving me less than 200mb, this was just wrong, the ammount of memory used just after a factory reset should be around 350mb... so i installed cwm 5.0.2.7 and booted it to recovery mode, here i pressed;
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
and what i think that screwed my phone..i went to mount and storage and pressed format /system...
Since then my phone didnt start, but i was able to get into the recovery mode... so i downoaded the stock 2.2 froyo from huawei
(this page is in spanish cuz the phone is sold in Venezuela).
i formated my SD card, and put the dload folder in its root and the update process started, but failed...
now i cant even get to the recovery mode, ive tride the process to install the fw a million times and it keeps failling..
and i just can get to the updating process or to the pink screen..if i connect my phone and leave it connected it shows up the logo and turn off, and repeat over and over..
my guess is that somehow i cant install the rom because the memory is almost full, but i have no idea of how to clear it!
if any of u guys can help me i would appriciate it a lot!!!
again sorry for my English and for the long post, but i wanted to be specific so you dont waste time telling me to do things ive already done! thank you!!!!

You need a micro sd reader and hook it up to a computer than copy the stock gb over and delete the old froyo. You should've asked.
I've read this may work, but android movida was closed down.
Try this.

sorry its embarrasing i have to ask, but i'm new with android so im a little lost! but according to what i got to learn last night trying to make my phone come back to life, there's no GB stock for the u8800-51, actually the only stock fw in huawei was the one i downloaded, and the one i installed from androidmovida required froyo to be succesfully updated..anyways ill download GB to see what happens, but if you could be a little more specific it would be nice, buecause as i said, i just learned a few things last night!!
Thank you very much for your help!
