LG G6 (H870) Error 7 "An assets failed" when trying flashing - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I tried flashing PixelExperience and BlissOS but both gave me error 7.
I downloaded the correct version for my model.
Tried with Stock kernel oreo and BeastKernel.
Is there a way to fix this issue?

Hey. While I don't have a rootable G6, I'll help you as best I can. Did you make sure to wipe everything (including Dalvik cache, cache, and firmware)? If not, do that whenever flashing any customROM. You may not run into problems immediately, but they'll show up soon, if you don't.

Tried but gives me the same error

I'm not sure, then. Sorry, but you might have to wait for someone who has an H870. In the meantime, try and work it out. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks

what TWRP do you use? For Android Q you need to use OrangeFox for Q. Because Android Q uses system as root. If you try flashing Q ROMs with TWRP for Pie, you will get errors

Flashed OrangeFox but still error 7, idk if I flashed OrangeFox Q

S7 edge with exynos
did you find the fix?
When installing certain custom ROMs on rooted Android smartphones or tablets, you will encounter “Status 7″ error issues once in awhile with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery.
Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing, called “asserts”.

Ty. I fixed it by wiping everything the second time, tho.
I have seen some people suggesting to update the firmware(bootloader?)(not quite sure) as an alternative to removing the asserts. What is your opinion on that?

PSA - DotOS 8.1 for Huawei Hi6250 devices works flawlessly

I was about to give up and go back to stock but lo and behold I got ahold of a link to a really nice GSI for our Honor 7x devices, and any other device with the Hi6250 chipset. It has worked flawlessly on my BND-L24 and doesn't give me weird uncertified device and internal storage errors like the treble GSI found in the treble ROM forums.

I assume you have this TWRP installed, if not, install it: TWRP
Alright, let's install.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Go to wipe - advanced wipe
3. Wipe all but SD card
3. Then go back to wipe.
4. There is an option next to advanced wipe, forgot what it was. (I think it was "Format Data")
5. Tap that option and type "yes"
6. Reboot back into TWRP
7. Flash the ROM and flash Open GApps right after flashing the ROM (I used Pico Open GApps)
8. Do a factory reset, wipe Cache, Dalvik / ART cache, and Data in advanced wipe just to be sure.
9. Reboot

EDIT: I'm no longer on this ROM so if there are bugs and you want me to reproduce them, I can not help you. Sorry, I need a more stable ROM for our Honor 7x's than this one. Thanks for understanding.
It's not the best idea to wipe with TWRP. It's better to do it with stock recovery or manually with fastboot.
Hi !
Does it work on BND-L21C432 ? What are the steps to install the rom ? Does it have to be EMUI 8.0 ?
Thank you for your work on this rom!
flashing this i hope the battery sot is good
Thanks for pointing this Rom out crayonicle, just flashed it and it's freaking great!!

Did you flash the latest Magisk Beta?
Usually that is the one that works, or you can find a treble-compatible version of Magisk to flash.

Yes I flashed the 16.4, not sure what happened. I can get into twrp, tried wiping and flashing the DotOs image again but all it does is boot into Huawei recovery. When I get home I will try downloading the stock firmware from the MT website and if I can get it to boot up Ill try flashing DotOs again.

How's it compared to lineage 15.1? How's battery life? Post few screenshots and check whether substratum works or not? TIA

Most likely there is something wrong with what you're using to flash the GApps, like the SD card, USB OTG, etc. Try switching it out.
But before doing all that, first flash the ROM, and then reboot again into TWRP and try flashing it if that makes a difference. Make sure you're flashing the ROM like the original post says.

Same error. My friend suggested me to flash through Adb sideload. I think it flashes but not properly since my device got stucked on bootloop for around 40 minutes before i switched it off for 2 different ROMs. Ene of the day I am back to stage 1. My friend told me to instal TWRP again. But without any OS how can i do it. Please help;_;

And your absolut sure these 5 rom files are OK and not broken? You download the correct device versions?
Which roms you have(file names)?

You can flash twrp with twrp itself(install - > image) or with fastboot like the first time.

I hope you did not pause the download in between or it did not failed and you started from the failed point (It can be done in Firefox)
Check the md5 of the zip file.
Also try a different TWRP. What TWRP are you using right now??.......just tell what source you downloaded it from

I tried it with other stock based rom like a prerooted one but the result are still the same. I am never new to this problem and usually this get solved by going to twrp and wiping data(the one you have to type yes) but it did not solve this problem. Really need help badly.

Where does it exactly say that I cannot flash anything higher than 3.2.3-4. All it says is to download the latest twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
Do you have a link to 3.2.3-4? It seems like 3.2.3-5 is the lowest twrp I could find in Phoenix591's android filehost https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=235271
edit: while waiting for responses, I went ahead and installed unofficial LOS15 then I was able to boot without any problem. It seem like this will only happen with stock/stock based roms.

You should flash latest after installing this one by installing recovery img in TWRP i am telling you cause i have tried 3.2.3-5+ with the dirty santa process for my phone and thats the message i was getting unless downgrading to 3.2.3-4
Also decryption is unsuccessful comes as a result of not formatting data on twrp after the first install of twrp but you said that you did format data so i thought you were trying to flash newer twrp via the root process of the H918

Yes me too, and it almost make me crazy back in the days ?
the solution (at least for now) is downgrade TWRP it into v3.2.3-4. flash it via adb fastboot command, format data, then reboot. But sorry i dont have TWRP for H918, becoz im using F800L.. and since your TWRP has been nuked, youll have to reflash TWRP again yes? ?
Or, if youbdont want to downgrade TWRP, you can use AOSP based rom such as LOS15.1.. i already tried that rom and it dont have problem with encrypt/decrypt thing like stock based rom.

Yes i knew that. My TWRP 3.2.3-4 IMG file is labeled with same date like that.
About sim unlock, Actually I dont know for sure because in f800l we dont seeing any sim problem at all.. but in my opinion just download it, in case you seeing problem with locked sim after flashing, it will be very useful..

Thanks, I will try going back to stock roms and will report back to you.
And I forgot to mention that I already got twrp fixed after it got nuked. Sadly, I don't think fastboot flashing works on h918 so I had to do lafsploit method to flash twrp again.

Where does it exactly say that I cannot flash anything higher than 3.2.3-4. All it says is to download the latest twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
Do you have a link to 3.2.3-4? It seems like 3.2.3-5 is the lowest twrp I could find in Phoenix591's android filehost https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=235271
edit: while waiting for responses, I went ahead and installed unofficial LOS15 then I was able to boot without any problem. It seem like this will only happen with stock/stock based roms.

Where? Right in the portion where it says Known Issues of the first link.
Downgrading TWRP to 3.2.3-4 will fix it. I had the same issue.
Thanks for the notes. Unfortunately this did not work for me. I ended up in this position after updating Magisk to 20.2, or trying to. My H918 went to being stuck in the fastboot mode. I was able to get to TWRP, and reinstalled H91820h.zip, but then faced with "Decryption unsuccessful" I downgraded TWRP to twrp-3.2.3-0, and deleted everything except the external microsd card, reinstalled H91820h.zip, but still stuck at the "Decryption unsuccessful". Are there other things I should try?
Thanks,
Rob

From TWRP thread:
Changed one last thing to try to fix stock Oreo decryption.
There were an upstream TWRP change that should fix the issue where formatting was still leaving /data encrypted as well (this was actually in the last build, but I didn't notice it then)

If you still have your non-Encryption-supporting TWRP as download mode, wipe data from there. For some reason which was documented in the TWRP thread, most versions of V20 TWRP doesn't remove the encryption flag even on a full wipe. I've gone through the pain several times, but here's roughly what I went through about a month ago. It's possible that using the latest TWRP may allow you to skip straight to step 8. As of this latest wipe, I'm finally at a point again where my phone works properly and TWRP can still see my data.
Basic process to hopefully have a working ongoing phone and TWRP:
1. Reboot to download-mode TWRP
2. Wipe dalvik/cache/data from the older download-mode TWRP
3. Factory reset with YES, still in older download-mode TWRP
4. Reboot to system; it should give you the new-system-setup past the Decryption unsuccessful screen on your wiped device
5. Setup without a Google account or fingerprint
6. Reboot back to recovery, not download TWRP; use download mode to get there if you need to
7. Flash the latest TWRP version from the thread (no older than October 25, 2019)
8. Reboot back to recovery
9. Wipe dalvik/cache/data
10. Reboot back to system
11. Setup as you like
12. Reboot back to recovery and make sure you can see your storage
If it gets a decryption error on latest TWRP at step 12 and you can't see data while in Recovery, try skipping adding a fingerprint during setup (run through steps 8-12, no fingerprint on 11) and see if that fixes it.

My solution turned out to be formatting /data. Wiping it was apparently not really wiping it clean. Formatting it got me back to a working phone, though I had to re-install everything.
Thanks everyone for the help!

Want to upgrade my OP5 from Oxygen 4.5.10 , Android 7.1.1 to the newest..

Hello
As the titel says..
Its been a few years since ive done anything like this, so dont really know what i need to do now..
Ive flashes newest twrp-3.2.3-0-20180822 and tryed to install OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_052_all_1910082005_adf7221fba833a0.zip but witout any luck
Log in twrp says:
Installing zip file '/sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_052_all_1910082005_adf7221fba833a0.zip'
Checking for digest files
Skipping digest check: no digest file found
vendor partition is not existed, exit ota!!
Updater process ended with Error: 7
Error installing zip file
I have no idea if its even possible to do this if i need other updates first ect.
Kinda rookies now haha..
Iv'e searched forum for help dunno if ive searched wrong or not, but couldnt find any help.
You have to install version 5.1.4 based on Oreo 8.1.0 and boot up the phone to enable vendor partition. Then you will be able to flash the latest Pie OS. If you want a faster way, you can use the 9.0.9 EDL package, but you will lose all data
Well i had a friend that said i could just install 9.0.9 firmware, well now ive ended up witj a phone which i cant enter.. Can still open fastmode and twrp but i cant add files on phone.. Any ideas on how to fix this mess?

So they changed the partition layout with Oreo? I am asking because I currently have the exact same problem.
Currently stucking on 7.1.1 with the same errormessage. I will try to upgrade to Oreo first and then move over to Pie. Thanks.

Yes, with the version 5.1.5 Project Treble was adopted and it requires a new vendor partition. That partition was created with 5.1.4, so if you are on a version lower than 5.1.4 you will need to install that version, boot once (the repartitioning is made during Android boot, not during the install) and then you will be able to upgrade to latest Pie version.
If you want to upgrade in one step, you can use EDL tool, but you lose all your data. Anyway, I advice you to do so because a format is a good operation when upgrading the Android version

I assume I can then also move directly to 9.0.xx, right? Sorry, I forgot that the OP5 got Android 10!

You can install the latest ROM ONLY if you are on a version that is 5.1.4 or newer. If you are on an older version, you have to first upgrade to 5.1.4 and then the newer version (Android 10 will be out in the next months)
Feedback: Works great. Moved to that version, rebooted once, upgraded directly to latest OOS (9.xx whatev) with success. Thanks for all your support & comments!
