Sorry for the links, but I'm new user, so I can't post outside links.
I'm trying to install firmware (download(.)lenovo(.)com/slates/think/tablet1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0121_ROW.zip) from lenovo firmware list (download(.)lenovo(.)com/slates/think/tablet1/) on my Thinkpad Tablet 16Gb 3G.
Firstly, when I just tried to use it as backup (CWM) it fails just saying "md5 mismatch". I think it was fully wrong way.
Then, I tried to install it from "install zip from sdcard" CWM command. It fails with this output:
-- Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:3.1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_02/0039_0089_ROW:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:4.0.3/ThinkPadTablet_A400_03/0069_0121_ROW:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Then, I understand that in zip I downloaded there was no /system/build.prop. I found some version of this file, but for US and changed all occurences of US to ROW. That's what I've got: paste(.)ubuntu(.)com/1676846/. It concains this string:
ro.build.fingerprint=Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:3.1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_02/0039_0089_ROW:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now I get the same error as when there was no build.prop at all.
What have I to do?
Thank you, Dmitry.
Hi,
firmware updates should come OverTheAir, not by downloading something.
There is an option in Settings->About where you can check for updates.
Maybe this ROM doesn't match your tablet or current ROM (if it's just a partial update).
If you're absolutely sure that this ROM matches your current configuration (and ONLY then):
I think the problem isn't in the zip, but on your tablet.
The assertions are in the zip and check for the target system.
This should prevent you from accidentally installing the wrong ROM.
So check your tablet's /system/build.prop
If you force the update by editing your build.prop, you may brick it!!!

I have a moto X1058 with:
fastboot-ghost_retar-user-4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.26-24-release-keys-cid12-Latam-AR.zip
bootloader unlocked
rooted with supersu
philz_touch_6.41.6-xt1058.zip custom recovery
The update to 4.4.3 came so I dl it, but the update wont work because of my custom rom (I think) so I have to modify the updater-script inside the official OTA Blur_Version.161.44.26.ghost_row.Latam.en.AR.zip if not, I always got the "Status 7" error message.
So first I delete the bold lines:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "system", "/system");
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/ghost_retar/ghost:4.4.2/KXA20.16-1.26/24:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/ghost_retar/ghost:4.4.3/KXA21.12-L1.22/58:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/ghost_retar/ghost:4.4.2/KXA20.16-1.26/24:user/release-keys or motorola/ghost_retar/ghost:4.4.3/KXA21.12-L1.22/58:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ghost" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "ghost" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "ghost" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "ghost");
ui_print("Verifying current system...");
(I thinks this makes the checks pass... I dont know if this will brick the phone if the OTA update is for different from the phone model)
Then I run the update from clockworkmod recovery I have, it gives an error about some APKs that are expected to be on my phone, but arent because I root uninstall them, so it wont update.
Then I delete the each line giving errors, i.e. plusone.apk music2.apk cloudprint.apk etc (each one I uninstalled)
i.e. if I had root uninstall cloudprint.apk I had to delete the lines:
apply_patch_check("/system/app/CloudPrint.apk", "6ae7e170d4f44c6e0f42f200b3861102b86fe92c", "df3f0829bf636b8719245296533bb9e4ca2b62ce") || abort("\"/system/app/CloudPrint.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
and
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/CloudPrint.apk", "-",
6ae7e170d4f44c6e0f42f200b3861102b86fe92c, 3643274,
df3f0829bf636b8719245296533bb9e4ca2b62ce, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/CloudPrint.apk.p")));
Then I tried again the update and it worked
Hope it helps in someway...
PS: to get the OTA zip update I have to let the OTA update asks me to be downloaded, let it download, then with a root file explorer went to /cache/... on the phone and looked for the Blur_Version.161.44.26.ghost_row.Latam.en.AR.zip
If you are on the stock rom the OTA.zip is intended for, but just rooted and removed/changed things (like editing the build.prop, removed bloat APKs, etc), then it is relatively safe to unzip the OTA.zip, edit the manifest file to eliminate some of the checks, then re-zipping and manually applying.

The first 3 bold lines in your post show that the update is looking for a specific ROM and version be on your phone by looking in the /system/build.prop file that is currently on your phone, and if your phone doesn't match that, it wont install. Deleting them as you have, the OTA.zip could be applied to any phone. However, some files still wont get updated because their checksum in the manifest wont match the version on the phone (or in your case were not on the phone). That would either cause the OTA to fail, or the wrong versions might get placed on the phone.
If the OTA is for a different mode phone (XT1053 vs XT1058), or different rom (i.e. its a 4.4.3 update and you are applying it to a phone with stock 4.4), then it can get dangerous because you'd end up with mismatched files on your phone, or files that could be incompatible with your model. That is why there is a version check before the OTA installs.
Thanks KidJoe! So if my update is the right one, and the updated files haven been modifiend on my phone from its stock version, but I have a modified recovery, rooted phone or build.prop modified, this way is the only I could find to update applying OTA updates.
I could update to 4.4.4 from 4.4.3 (motox 1058 rooted, custom recovery philz) :good:
Hey guys,
Are you facing errors while installing incremental updates with twrp ? Here is the solution:
1. Download the incremental updates package.
2. Extract the updater-script with any extracting program.
3. Open the updater-script in notepad++ and delete the lines which look like this "getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "Xiaomi/oxygen/oxygen:7.1.1/NMF26F/7.12.1:user/release-keys" ||
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "Xiaomi/oxygen/oxygen:7.1.1/NMF26F/7.12.8:user/release-keys" ||
abort("E3001: Package expects build fingerprint of Xiaomi/oxygen/oxygen:7.1.1/NMF26F/7.12.1:user/release-keys or Xiaomi/oxygen/oxygen:7.1.1/NMF26F/7.12.8:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");" .
4. Now save the file and put back in zip file, replace the existing file.
5. Now you can flash the update without any problem.
Ok guys,, been a long time since ive updated my vs995, an old old version of resurection remix back in the day. I remember there was a fix for it, i think it was the meta tag or something back in the day was wrong and id have to change it or something... It wont let me flash anything vs995..
Any suggestions on how to correct it? Thanks
Try updating your twrp. Here is my latest vs995 build (thread is here). Basically I suspect you're running one of the old "Elsa" twrp builds when what you're trying to flash may have stopped checking for it. This is all is if you're getting an error like "E3004: This package is for device: vs995; this device is elsa". It can be manually bypassed by deleting a line like
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "vs995" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "vs995" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: vs995; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
in the updater-script file a few folders deep in the meta-inf folder of the zip.
Did you happen to download these roms with chrome on your phone? Chrome won't download them correctly because it thinks it's a harmful file. On the PC version you can choice to download anyway. On the Android version I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Hi
I've read here https://www.tecnoandroid.it/2018/03...hone-che-dovrebbero-ricevere-android-p-324672 (in Italian) that 90% we won't get pie. I'm a little surprised.
What do you think? Are they wrong?
I didn't expect Pie, cos Mediatek is hard chipset to work with.
At this moment , I would be happy if they just release the touchscreen patch.
I am sick of seeing my TS deteriorating in Oreo.
Gentleman's : Read this : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 .
If you read this important information's you find one important news :
1.This CPU's is very similar based on cortex a53 .
2.I can crossport rom to xa1 (lineage os) , and do pie on xa1 .
3.I do port (not tested - problem's with install and pack rom) , of lineage based on 7.1.2 nougat .
Now after do installer I have problem with script .
I plan to do port of pie based on lineage from xa2 to xa1 to december/january of this year !!
Please don't say about xa1 and impossible make pie for this device :')
I need help with make this rom's for xa1 . I welcome developers to work with me

Ok i can't find the zip, but to solve:
1) unzip the zip ))
2) go to META-INF/com/google/android
3) find updater-script
4) rename it to updater-script.txt
5) edit it with Notepad++ (or similar)
6) find the "assert" method, something like:
Code:
assert( codes, codes, codes);
7) delete the method
ex:
Code:
assert(1,2,3,4);
other code(6);
codes too(7);
becomes:
Code:
other code(6);
codes too(7);
8) SAVE!
9) rename back updater-script.txt to updater-script
10) rezip again
11) done
If you need language help too, just ask me (i know Spanish, French and Italian too)
For the next times, ask me help via Private Messages. I will send you there my backup TA, please patch DRM from stock kernel. Thank you :highfive:

I never believed that XA1 will get Pie - first it has MTK, for enthusiast it may not be a problem, for OEMs it is, coz they need official (aka reliable) SoC code and Mediatek rarely gives more than one update. And it's not flagship or even middle-end with Snapdragon to get more than one update (like X and Compact).

Mate I can't believe you make big claims about bringing lineageOS to the XA1 and then can't work out why you can't flash a ROM made for another device
What exactly did you do??
Clearly you did not extract this ROM to make a proper port or you would of repacked it for the XA1.
Did you just simply change the boot.img within this ROM if so it's highly unlikely it will ever work.
These issues your having are most basic and easily solved where as bringing LineageOS to our device is a huge undertaking involving some major source code editing.

Code:
unmount of /system failed (-1): Device or resource busy
Try This.
In TWRP toggle /system mount or unmount manually and try again.
EG:
If /system IS mounted automatically unmount it and try flash the rom.
If the /system is NOT mounted automatically then mount it and try flash the rom.

I downloaded the ROM from your thread but I think it maybe corrupted as I was unable to extract the system.new.dat.
All that would be normally required to flash the /system and /boot would be.
Code:
ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));
show_progress(0.750000, 0);
ui_print("Patching system image unconditionally...");
block_image_update("/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat") ||
abort("E1001: Failed to update system image.");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
set_progress(1.000000);
Everything else could be removed.
I check it tomorrow . Thanks
EDIT : Don't working error code 7 . Failed to update system image

Yes as said before I think the "system.new.dat" file is corrupted as it fails to unpack even on my PC so I think you will need to recompile it.
Update: Sony said that they will update XA series without specifying which models (they would have said "xa2", maybe there's a chance...
