Installing 4.1.2 manually via CWM fails

I'm trying manually install 4.1.2 on my rooted Nexus 7 with CMW.
I downloaded the zip, placed it on my Nexus 7, proceeded regularly to install zip
i selected the zip and it aborted, says Status 7.
Thanks to the community below are solutions to get the update to flash.
EDIT
Thanks to Logic_
You can flash this .zip instead which disables all the checks but do it at your own risk as it can brick your tablet
https://www.dropbox.com/s/isqpvb0w26....1.2edited.zip
This is the update with the checks disabled. I didn't make this, got it off another forum, I just used it because I had moved an update to chrome into my /system and there was no easy way to revert it.
I wouldn't advise using this if you made build.prop modifications, but it is useful if your update is failing over some apps like google wallet.
Once again, I didn't make this and I'm not responsible if you for some reason use this to flash the update over some heavily modded rom
It's from JRO03D btw.

osm0sis method to get the update to work is simpler and possibly risk free.

For those who've done some modding and can't remember what they did to pass the OTA asserts, all you need to do is dirty flash the system.img from 4.1.2 factory image in fastboot and eveything should work.

Did you try to redownload the zip?

I got a similar error for build.prop file. I had changed it to enable/force auto rotation of the home screen when I was on 4.1.1. When I reverted the build.prop to its original file, it worked for me.
I see the error code is the same in your case as well. Is there a chance that you would have changed BrowserProviderProxy.apk?

It's from the side loading of the browser. I had this too. You have to restore those mentioned browser proxy file(s) to their original state. I also temporarily removed the browser apk from the system/app folder as well, although I'm not sure if this was required. The update installed fine after doing this.

I'm having the same problem. I cannot seem to flash the update with CWM. I haven't edited any of the system files or anything like that. Is it the fact that I'm using a different launcher that's causing the problem?

I'd like to know too. I get the Build.prop error too.

You've made no changes whatsoever? What about the kernel? Worst case just use mskip's toolkit to flash back to stock 4.1.1. Check the lag thread I posted what I did and it worked like butter.

Hi all.....
I'm currently using stock Nexus 7 and did all ways possible here to update and nothing worked, last thing I did was go to setting, backup and restore and hit factory data reset and buala automatically got the update to 4.1.2
Nota: this is not a recommendation but if u wanna try do a Backup and good luck.

I deleted the original browser files in the system/app folder too.
Found them on the rootwiki site here....
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35089-can-someone-hook-me-up-with-browserproviderproxyapk/
Worked perfectly after

modded build.prob / update problems to 4.1.2
i have similar Problem
Picture
h**p://i49.tinypic.com/w979qt.jpg
i modded my build.prob to Landsape mode. I guess that i corrupt the Md5 hash
(deleting the row with the added contend didnt solve it....)
I tried a factory reste and an Temp Wipe in clockwork. I thought this should solve the problem but i l get the sam error ....
What should i do ?
Flash a facotory Image ?
How do i get back my root, if the factory image is my only option?
Thanks a lot for your help
greets Razzor

I also had the same problem then remembered that I use FullScreenToggle to get rid of the nav bar. I just had to re-enable it and it installed fine.

If you are getting the error on 'build.prop' look in the /System folder with Root Explorer or the ES explorer. If you see a build.prop.bak, that is probably your original file. Rename build.prop to something else and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop. Restart and then try taking the update again.
If you side-loaded the gnex browser so you could use flash, go to the /System/App folder and make sure you have BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex named properly. As stated earlier, rename browser.apk to browser.apk.bak. Restart and then try taking the update again. I had that problem. After getting the OTA installed, I renamed the browserproviderproxy files again, and made it browser bak file browser.apk. Now I have flash working perfectly again on the gnex stock browser.

Okay i managed to fix the browser proxy thing, turns out i had 10.apk at the end of it for some reason
and i renamed browser.apk to browser.apk.bak so that worked,
but now i got the same problem but with wallet

I remember having to jack around with Wallet to get the original update which allowed other credit/debit cards to be added. Some offered a solution where you could download a modified wallet.apk that would work instead of going through the other hoops. If you did that, the apk probably doesn't pass the verification. If you used a modified Wallet.apk did you backup the original one first?

build.prob error
Fixing steps for build.prob error :
VERY IMPORTANT: You will los all of your data, please make a backup befor you following this stepps ^^
Error Message apply_patch_check("/system/build.prob - "Numbers" , "Numbers")
My way which worked for me
1.)
The only way, if you dont have any backup of the original build prob file youl have to flash a copy of the factory IMAGE.
In my case i used the Nexus Toolkit 3.2 V - with this marvelous tool I copied the Factory Image 4.1.1 on it
2.)
After the factory Image you will lose your root. Install Clockwork or a other custom recovery image. Then its easy too get back your root with the Toolkit (follow the steps)
3.) If your not able to receve the OTA update to 4.1.2, download it and copy the ZIP to your Nexus 7
After this, go back to Fastboot and install the Updates using the up an down Volium buttons to navigate
Now the updating process should go very smooth

I have the same error when installing from CWM and the ONLY CHANGES I made to my N7 are:
- Unlock
- Root
- CWM
- Battery Icon
Any other ideas? Will installing from ADB and Android own Recovery will work?
EDIT: I tried the update on my SECOND N7, which have all the above EXCEPT the battery icon mod and it works. So looks like the battery icon mod is the issue! Anyone know how to revert back to the original battery icon?
Also, since the first update failed, when I clicked on "Check" under SYstem Update, now my N7 said the system is up to date. How do I force the update to run again?

The system checks are there for a reason and I am in no way responsible if anyone bricks their device with this but...

New file structure system. 4.2.1. How do u access the root?

I recently boot looped my phone and had to manually stick files on my root.. Eguch doesn't seem to be accessible with the various file programs. These are a few hundred megs since they are ROMs and I want them removed. How do I get rid of them if I can't find them.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm kind of confused on what you're asking for "root." Root as in the root directory? or root as in superuser?
If it's root directory, it's in /sdcard/ or /storage/emulated/0/
Use a updated recovery such as TWRP or CWR.

I'm asking for the root of the file system. There was another level added when 4.2.1 was implemented. And I had to add files via a dB.. Which copied them to the root below the new level. Which I can't seem to access using the file app programs. Yet I can see them in cwm when I use it. Not sure what to do. I need them gone... I only have an 8 gig... Need the space.

Here is a picture of the files I'm talking about. I've tried finding them and I can't. I've searched the directories individually as well did searches with the finding tools. Any ideas?

No idea. I use TWRP, I guess TWRP and CWR have it set differently?
Look around /sdcard/ and /storage/ ... on TWRP everything looks the same as it was before 4.2.X with everything being in /sdcard/
Try /storage/emulated/0/

its obvious and you could of done it yourself.. click on legacy. plus, you cant really access system in CW. only through ADB but doesnt seem like thats what youre asking..

try checking in /data/media

Im not even sure what your saying man.. Umm did what myself? And I cant see the folder legacy ether, or clockworkmod for that matter, In fact I cant see any of the those files. I read on google currents that they added an additional layer to the file structure, meaning all the old 4.1.2 software wasnt saving to next level but to the original root. And you had to move them or something.
Anyways, clarification would be great.
Thanks

Well that is why you see Clockworkmod in there as well, which I also dont have access to.. which I did before the 4.2.1.

Legacy is a folder. /storage/0/legacy
I don't understand what you did with your phone. Everything for me is in straight /sdcard/ I know they did something with the sd card because of multi user but it's not really that difficult.

Yeah I got that... I dont know man. I just dont have access to it. Its like its on a lower level not accessible anymore by anything but CWM.. and I cant get it to it. Ive used 3 different file programs to try and access it. Nothing.
If I had a way to move it then that would be good, but CWM doesnt have that option. IDK.
Edit: I have an Sdcard folder, but all my files are in there, but not these ones. Its strange.

Don't know. I switched from CWR to TWRP. I find TWRP to be way better. No file manager in CWR? TWRP has a File Manager where u can delete files in recovery.
When you downloaded those zip files where did you put them on your phone?

Oh no you never want to push those zip files through ADB -.- .. just drag and drop them via USB cable or use FTP.
I just hope they never become lost. Hopefully TWRP can fix this.
Maybe you could try doing adb commands to delete it? not sure. But try out TWRP. Was this the latest version of CWR too? 6.0.2.0

The "sdcard" is actually located at /data/media/0 everything else are symlinks.
I believe CWR places the backups in a folder in /data/media

Yeah I actually had no choice, for I upgraded my kernel and it bootlooped, which means I only had access to the internal storage through ADB.. Also, I considered the delete option with ADB.. but there doesnt seem to be one. The pull command is a copy command and looking through the options, there doesnt seem to be much else there to really use.
Also I just tried the TWRP, I like it, although... I still cant see the files. I think... im gonna have to just back up all the important stuff and do a full format of the drive. That way, I start with a clean slate.. I think that is my only option to get the space back.
Anyways, thank you all for your help. Ill hit the thank you button if I can. (I had an earlier problem and I used it a bunch of times already)

Sorry that you had to go to that route :/ always make sure you have some line of stable kernel or even a ROM (roms include kernels) and to the very least you can always do a factory reset and boot in without having it boot loop.
Good luck.

Data on SD Card befor flashing JB 4.2.1
When you move to JB 4.2.1 the contents of your SD card is relocate to mnt/system/emulate. You can copy your files from there to storage/emulated/0, reboot, and your recovery, in my case CWM, will see the folders.
Hope that helps.
On another note the new file structure does duplicate things, and I am hoping that it will be OK to delete the contents of the mnt/system/emulate in order to free up space on the SD Card.

nevermind

[Recovery] Open Source version of CWM recovery v6.0.2.7

This is vanilla build of clockwork mod recovery from CyanogenMod repo. The image we get from clockworkmod.com has some proprietary additions which blocks any app other than ROM Manager to access recovery. But I wanted open source build of CWM to make it work with CyanDelta, so I compiled myself.
You can flash this recovery using fastboot.

Mode 1 tar mode this means backup makes one tar file.
Mode 2 blob mode what i said before makes 1 main backup after that makes little backup files what was changed so it's little faster but you can't copy this to your computer completely which i never like.

OP updated with flashable zip.

is sdcard mount in recovery working? that's a very important matter, since it has a potential of bricking your device if you happen to lose your backup from sdcard and end up in a bootloop.
this CMW version has blob version backup? if yes, could the OP build the latest full-backup version of CWM in a similar manner? We would all be grateful, and even happy to donate for your effort.
cheers!

This is not true. I use official cwm images exclusively and I've never had any app fail to reboot into recovery. If you're going to make a claim, please at least make sure there is some merit to it.

Only ROM Manager can interact with CWM recovery because extendedcommand are encrypted to only work with it due to licensing bull****. Doesn't mean reboot to recovery, means manage stuff to flash from within Android.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/08bedb21d87dede99f1e89a4869609389bb7cee7
Also, touch feature is not open sourced if I'm not mistaken.

I know this is a little old, but do you have any (non-cyandelta) references for this? CM Updater seems to work just fine with CWM official, and it's very open source:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMUpdater/blob/jellybean/src/com/cyanogenmod/updater/UpdatesSettings.java
If they can do it, I don't know why cyandelta can't.

[TOOLKIT] Universal Paranoid Android(PA) Porter[ICS/JB]

Tool Aces Present..
Universal PA Porter
About the tool:
This tool can be used to port the great Paranoid Android ROMs from any device. It's based on the guide of adityalahiri13. Thank him too.
How to use:
Make sure you that both the ROMs(Base and PA) have the same resolution. I recommend taking CM as base. Also make sure that the android versions of base and PA ROM matches. Try to use port from a device of same manufacturer, though it may not matter much.
Steps-
1. Place base ROM zip in CM folder.
2. Place PA ROM zip in PA folder.
3. Now click on Main.bat the tool will do some steps.
4. After this it will ask for your device resolution. Choose one among 5.
5. Then it will open build.prop and another file. Copy the lines from another text file to the build.prop below ro.modversion= and write the PA version you are porting infront of ro.pa.version=
6. Save and exit.
7. Now it will open updater-script and another file. Copy the line from another file and paste it to your updater-script below this line:
Code:
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0644, "/system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf");
8. Then it will ask for your android version. Choose ICS or JB, then it will zip the ROM, select name as desired and find your ROM in /PORT folder.
Congrats on your newly ported ROM.

Download the tool from here.

FAQs:
Q. Well I ported this accordingly but it's stuck in bootloop. How to solve it?
A. In some cases this happens. Simply run bootloop.bat and see if it works. If it still doesn't works then run bootloop2.bat. Make sure to check if the ROM boots after running bootloop.bat, if still stuck on bootloop then only run bootloop2.bat
Q. Why you recommend porting from same manufaturer?
A. Well you can port from others also but in some of them you might need some framework modding and also need to do some modding in kernel. But in most cases even from other manufacturers the ROM should work.
Q. How can I help?
A. Pressing THANKS button would be enough.

If the tool isn't running at all for you guys, you are either trying to run the .bat file from within the zip, or you extracted the zip file wrong.
Extract the zip with Winrar.
Just right click the file and select "Extract Files..." than click OK.
I haven't tried porting this yet but the tool itself works just fine.

Extract files to just to short path, for example to "c:\porting\" or "d:\porting\".
This problem shows when .bat is deep in folder.

I am really excited for this tool. THANKS
I extracted the files and attempted to run the tool, but it closes after CM and PA are extracted. Is there something I am doing wrong. I have a Maguro (GSM Galaxy Nexus). Base ROM = CM10.1 (4/22) and Port ROM = PA 3.16 (4/16). After ROMS are extracted, the tool closes. Tool is located in G: Porter

[ROM][STOCK][FLASHABLE ZIP][JB.1.2][BELL SGH-I757M ONLY] Samsung Stock Rom

STOCK ROM JB 4.1.2 FOR BELL CANADA SGH-I757M (FLASHABLE ZIP)
*** NEW AROMA INSTALLER FOR STOCK JB 4.1.2 ***
***************************************************************************
WARNING
***************************************************************************
I assume no responsibility in the event you brick your device. Make sure you have read the instructions before flashing as they may slightly differ from what your used to.​

About This ROM:
Hey guys, so Samsung has finally released JB 4.1.2 for the Bell Canada SGH-I757M, which is currently only available through the sammobile.com website and through Samsung KIES. The download zip contains a tar.md5 file and includes a 3e Recovery partition. That's bad news for those of you with a custom recovery. It will be overwritten and you'll have to go through flashing your custom recovery partition again.
So I bring you a Stock Flashable zip that won't replace your custom recovery. That way you can try the new stock rom without loosing root or your custom recovery.
The only credit I assume here is putting the zip package together which involved using @dsixda Kitchen (thanks dsixda). I also added root to this package so that you can have a fully rooted Stock Rom.

Instructions:
*** MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS AT LEAST 75% OR MORE BEFORE FLASHING ***
Before you flash this ROM, you will need a custom recovery installed. I recommend Philz touch recovery found here:

*** UPDATED: July 31, 2013 v3 - See second post for changes ***
Those of you looking for a flashable zip for rooting that works with the tar.md5 JB rom from sammobile.com, use this one:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip - I did not put this package together, it was given to my be another member, but it worked when others did not.New Instructions (Aroma Installer):
Instructions for the Aroma Installer version is extremely simple, there is no need to wipe data/format cache/format dalvik-cache as the Installer will take care of that for you if you want it to.
*** ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE A NANDROID AND ALL YOUR NECESSARY BACKUPS BEFORE FLASHING ***
The one zip file contains all of the modems (ICS & JB), the new playstore app (install optional) and all mods. Just download the zip file and flash it like you would any other ROM, then you will be taken through a series of installer screens that will allow you to choose which apps, mods and modems you want to install.

MODS
Extended Power Menu MOD
To apply the Extended Power Menu MOD, download the following zip to your sdcard as it needs to be flashed from CWM:
MOD_SGH-I757M_STOCK_JB_EXTENDED_POWER_MENU.zip (19.6MB)
1. First take a nandroid backup since we are modifying system files and can easily soft brick our phone by doing this.
2. Flash the MOD from CWM, and restart your phone.
Please be aware that the phone doesn't like to start up for the first time after you flash this mod, you will get stuck at the bootloader screen (not sure why). This is easily overcome by pressing and holding your power button for a hard reset (Hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds. You will feel it vibrate). It should then get past the boot screen. If that did not get you past the boot screen, restore your nandroid backup and try again. If the problem still persists. Post a message and I'll see if I can help you out
S-Voice (like apple's SIRI)
Here is a CWM flashable zip that will install the Galaxy S4's S-Voice onto your SGH-I757M. S-Voice is Samsung's SIRI clone. It seems to work fairly well so far. Just a little slow at times. Just download this zip to your sdcard, make a nandroid backup, and flash this zip. This will install S-Voice on your device. (It may force close on you a couple of times when you first open it up. Just keep opening it up until the force closes stop).
SGH-I757M-SVoice-MOD (62.4MB)
Thanks to @cabetoguerra for finding this leaked apk. Other files and libs were gathered by me and mostly found from a zip file created by xda member zoot1.
FAQ
Q. After I flash the Rom, I get FC's (force closes) like crazy, and I'm gonna pull my hair out!
A. If you did not expressly follow the instructions above, go back and read them. You must format the system, cache and data partitions manually in addition to the regular method.
If you did read and follow the instructions and are still getting FC's. Try the whole process over again and flash the Rom twice just to make sure it fully flashed and all the scripts ran successfully.
Thanks to @4runner10 for actually having to try this
Q. I'm on a Telus network and I get no data connection.
A. Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987678 for Telus APN settings as they differ from Bell APN settings.
Thanks to @rukusx7 for the tip

Did you format the partitions as described in the instructions? I was having that same issue until I formatted the partitions.

yeah, i always used to flash the rom twice but didn't bother this time. might want to mod the instructions! that did the trick, i also wiped the dalvik after the rom and modem were flashed. no idea if that would make a diff tho!
seems pretty smooth during setup!

I think it might have to do with the new partition and it's weird symlinks. I'll look into moving these files back into the /system/app folder. Hopefully that will help fix the fc's
