please help with my phone: can't update ROM, keep getting error msgs!

Hi all, I recently rooted my NS4G and flashed my rom to the Brainmaster's MIUI 10.14.11. It worked great for a while and then I started having issues with it so I tried to update it to the 10.28.11 version and it wouldn't let me. I was finally able to reflash to GRJ06D, but no other custom rom would work. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.0. ROM Manager won't work either after it gets into recovery. I get the error message...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "crespo4g" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "crespo 4g"
E: Error in /sdcard/
(Status 7)
Even trying to do an OTA system update via Sprint freezes and gives me the Android error message (triangle with exclamation). I've tried many many times to reflash and no success.
What do I need to do?

This issue has been reported a few times and there are a few ways to fix it;
1) Make sure you downloaded the right ROM; ie, the ROMs from the Nexus 4G Development section
2) If you're installing ROMs through ROM Manager, don't. Reboot into recovery mode, do a full data, cache and dalvik wipe and then flash the ROM zip while still in the CWM recovery mode
3) Else; try a different version of CWM, make sure it's compatible with your device and then do step 2 again.
Good luck.

I think you should flash CWM again then wipe data, cache, dalvik, boot, then flash rom again and report your findings back to us.

I had this issue last week.. You've probably tried to flash the incorrect ROM originally or something..
The only way I could fix it was to boot into download mode, and flash the PDA, phone and modem via Odin. You can get the firmware from samfirmware.com

Thanks for the responses, its funny because I flashed the 4.0.1.0 CWM, which was for the GSM version and then reflashed to 5.0.2.0 (NS4G) in order for the MIUI rom to work. It was after flashing that and running MIUI for a while that I started having issues so I reflashed a new 5.0.2.0 and its still the same.
I haven't been able to flash back to the CWM 3 that it originally came with because I lost my micro USB cable. I hope to get this fixed soon! Thanks again, will keep you guys posted.

[Q] Installation Aborted(Status 7)while Flashing GingerBread

HI,
I have recently compiled and flashed the 2.3.4-r1 Ginger Bread on my Nexus S
using these commands
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase userdata
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot erase cache
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash boot out/target/product/crespo/boot.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash system out/target/product/crespo/system.img
$ ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/crespo/userdata.img
But now I want to go back and load the default image-2.3.6 Gingerbread (GRK39F) (which was there at the time of purchasing Nexus S).Is there a way to do this.I downloaded the ROM for it from somewhere on the net and stored it internally on my Nexus S but when I am going into the fastboot mode and then recovery and when trying to install from sd card option by selecting the downloaded ROM I am getting this error(error Attached)

It seems the package you downloaded is for upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Try the full OTA ROM for your phone model from the link in my signature

OK I will try the 2.3.6 .I will use the same procedure as used earlier.
Copying the ROM to internal memory and then select the ZIP file from the sd card.I hope wipe data/cache will be optional.

Thanks suksit !! It worked.I have my previous ROM now.I am happy !
Could you plz tell that why I didnt get more options in the Android Recovery Mode?I saw somethign clockwork Recovery , do I need to install such ROM?

TRy downloading the correct rom from the below link. Make sure you check your phone model (9020/23 3G/4G etc)

Edit: I see that it is resolved now.. enjoy

You need an older recovery. Had the same issue but when using 3.x instead of 5.0.2.x the status 7 issue went away.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

You have to install ClockworkMod recovery in order to get those options. It's not a ROM, it's a recovery image that you flash to replace the stock recovery.
You'll need it if you want to flash custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications that comes in an unsigned zip file. Otherwise you can just stick to the stock recovery.
Other benefits of CWM recovery are backup and restore functions, mount options, and the ability to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, etc.
To install CWM recovery, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it using fastboot command. I'd recommend you to follow the guides in Nexus S General section if you want to do it.

[Q] HELP! Can't flash custom ROM, status 7 error =(

Hi every i've been trying to flash my tmobile HTC ONE S to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean v2.13,fromt this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890464
I unlocked(still s-on), rooted, and tried a couple different recoveries (CWM 5.8.31,5.8.24,5.8.15 etc. and TWRP 1.7, 2.2)
what I did was first unlock,then flash recovery, and root, then flash boot.img from the ROM package, and install from SDcard. However everytime I get a Status 7 error messege, and installation fails...
And one time I tried to install from CWM ROM manger from Google Play in the OS, still failed after it reboot and goes in to recovery.
Some people on the web says that this means I need a different or newer recovery, but I've probably tried all the main and newest versions.....
pls help! thnx in advance!! =)

nvm!!! I was stupid enough to download the ROM version for HTC ONE X..hahaha..

[Q] Moto RAZR XT910 - Not able to Flash

Hello Guys,
I installed JB leak in my Moto RAZR xt910 and was using till now,
And i didnt have any CWM Recovery installed in mine, so to install that , i tried a thread from xda ( cant remember which one )
It was "RazerTouchBlack.apk" . after installing that and trying to install CWM, my phone showed error " Encryption Unsuccessful" and was not able to proceed further.
Then i decided to Flash it with stock ROM, tried several ROM's with RSD Lite.
For every ROM , It fails at "cdt.bin_signed" -> PHONE returned FAIL
What am i supposed to do ?
I just want my phone back alive.

Your bootloader is locked. Flash your phone back to stock LINK and install THIS as a working recovery system (Its Safestrap including TWRP 2.7)

Did you check the md5 of the rom you downloaded? this way you can make sure your download is not corrupt. It really sounds like it is.
Also, to install stock ROM, you should use a pc, Odin, and the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com instead of flashing through recovery. Not that it can't be done by flashing through recovery, but through Odin everything returns to stock, including recovery.
