Hello,
Recently I tried to flash (using HumberOS) from CM9 to CM11.
The install failed due to an assert failure, so I looked it up on XDA and found an answer: format /system and /data on a HumberOS thread.
It worked, until it got to the stage to detect the device.
It tried testing for a .prop device model, but mine was "" (empty).
I tried editing the update-script file, but only to find that it said .zip was bad or the installation aborted for no reason.
I thought I could restock, only to find that FUS could not find a link and SamFirmware (SamMobile) said "File not Found".
Does any one have the UK stock ROM (I tried some more links on XDA, but instead an advert replaced the window with software (malicious))?
A Heimdall flashable file would be nice, as I am on OS X.
I have 30% battery left too and the battery icon appears but freezes.
P.S. Also, why does it say the .zip is bad? I'm using Store mode in Keka... I thought that was the right method... Maybe the default .zip method (compressed) will work? I don't want to waste the battery...
You should use 7zip.
Open the zip but don't extract.
Drag out only the updater script and edit it.
Then drag it bag into the zip.
Android is linux based. The file names are case sensitive. Unzipping to windows will destroy that.

I fixed it ages ago (I can't remember what I did). Anyway, I don't think this is the problem as OS X has the same basic file structure as Linux, and I am using Keka which is based on p7zip.
EDIT: Sorry, that makes sense now, as HFS+ is not case sensitive unless you set it up that way when you format the disk.

There has been a lot of discussion on what works on ClockWorkMod v3 and what doesn't. One of the biggest problems (besides ROM installations) is how to apply existing ZIP files that don't work in CWM3 because they are outdated.
So, if you have upgraded to CWM v3 and want to use some old zips there is an answer
nubecoder in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development forum came up with an excellent tool for converting the old update-script to the new updater-scrip and binary needed for CWM3
Give it a look:

Extract the zip to a folder. Run it. Select open then the zip or script you want to convert. then save it.
Great find Nils. I guess I need to convert mine.
EDIT: It converted them all perfectly, once I realized I needed to choose "Incredible" from the device menu. LOL
If you want an alternative to using the script converter I attached 2 zip files. One is for updates to the /system/app/ folder and the other is /system/framework/ folder
All you need to do is use 7zip to copy (drag and drop) your files to the appropriate sub folder in the zip file.
You can then name the zip file to whatever you like.
Sorry to muck up the thread with this question but since it's on topic... how do i flash back to the old version of CWM? since rom manager just comes up with an error...
nevermind I got one of the older 2.5 to work
This app was updated just this morning with the option to convert scripts for the incredible. I've tried it on a few zips and it works perfect

I agree, if Trimble would embrace Linux I could avoid windowz for the rest of my life...

I was trying to get my tab back to stock after messing it up. I was following the instructions off of gizmoninja but it says I have to download and install their wpa_supplicant file so I can flash the update.zip file. I am on DJ11 now. The link is bad that he posted. Does anyone know where to get this file from. This is my second day of searching. Thanks.

I got the same problem,someone please help us with a original wpa_supplicant
why would you want to return to stock if your problem is wpa_supplicant? what has wpa_supplicant got to do with returning to stock?
When I return to stock dj11, the uodate to ec02 fails every time. The intructions I found said that it was a problem with the wpa_supplicant and it said to replace the file so the update would work. The link to the file does not work. Thats why we need it I suppose. Or, is there a better way to fix this?

yes,the modified wpa_supplicant can't pass the update verify.
and hi tombepa,what baseband you're using?could you backup a copy of baseband and upload it here?i flash sprint baseband on mine ,and can't get it back,thanks.
Now I understand- you are on verizon gt .....sorry....
I am on S:I800.0.3V.DL21
And if someone can give instructions on how to back it up I would be glad to.

I made a promise to myself to only lurk here from now on but I can't keep quiet for this one. First, I'm on my tab so I can't upload. Second, I'm sprint so I'm not sure which original wpa you people are asking g for. Third, when you put the modified file into the folder you are told to (did you remember to turn off wifi?), just rename the end of the original file .old or .bak or whatever (after telling file explorer program to go into rw mode of course), so the os won't run it and then just copy the modified file into that folder. Fourth, put the folder back into ro mode and reboot. I used to delete or overwrite files before but decided tacking .old at the end of the filename (works good for stock apks that you want to trial and error disable while testing for fc and stability when trying to lean down the programs loading). It's been much easier putting things back the way they were originally when I do it this way than ripping them out or overwriting them. Deleting or overwriting existing files and not having the original close by can many times come back and bite you in the ass. Flashing back to stock is a time consuming task that gets old really quick when you can't get whatever back into working condition.
Backing up is so simple. Just rename the original file to wpa_supplicant.old and copy over the modified one and reboot. Done. Want to revert? Do the opposite. Delete the modified file and rename the wpa_supplicant.old file to wpa_supplicant and reboot.

Adb wasn't necessary for me. I got the file out of the 7zip and copied to the folder with root explorer. So easy even a caveman could do it.

Thank you for your ever so kind response, my question to you is will this file work on the Verizon tab? That is the one that I have. When I go to that link I can't tell which section that is in so I can read the rest of the posts there to answer this question myself.
I use the same file as shown by oscarthegrouch for sprint SPH-P100 and the file works fine,
but I can not be sure if used in Verizon tab
hopefully can help
Good news guys! I registered on gizmoninja and sent them a request. They fixed the download link. Go here and download it!

I need help........again.
See, I'm creating my own rom and my base uses blackhawk. I want to change this to firekernel. I searched xda and Google but I couldn't find anything. All they talk about is how to flash another kernel. I want to know how to include it in rom before flashing. And also, could someone tell me the .XML that is used for Modding the lock screen.

Inside the flashable zip (any flashable zip) you'll find several folders and files. To see where each file gets flashed to, look inside the META-INF folder and search for a file called "updater script".
Its the updater script the one that indicates where each part of the zip will be flashed, so open it with a text editor, take notes where each file ends up, and copy them to their location inside your rom.

And at the start, through dsixda kitchen updater script was converted into update script. Is it the same? Okk. And what about including scripts, I want adrenaline engine. I downloaded the zip. Ignored the Meta -inf and copied the system folders inside the system folder of the working project....Am I right?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
If you're using the kitchen its OK, you can add any flashable zip that way, copying the files and folders to their respective location inside your Project. Checking the updater script is only necessary when in doubt of where each thing goes.
Don't use kitchen's updater script and binaries.They won't work,could even brick the device.To change kernel,download firekernel and replace the boot.img in that pack with the one in your rom.Boot.img is the kernel.Scripts go in init.d

Hey. Thanks for that. Please help me out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28891130#post28891130
I have a GT-P1000N with the factory default rom, installed CWM Recovery using Heimdall and work perfect, i can enter in recovery, wipe data and cache, but when try to install the rom cm-9.0.0-p1n.zip (get.cm /get/jenkins/5817/cm-9.0.0-p1n.zip) a message saying that an assertion ocurred with the model and cannot continue
I try to do the same with cm10 fro Humeros but with the same assertion problem.
Any help? Any idea?
You can remove the assert lines from updater script.
(META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script)
If on Linux, you can unzip and edit and zip back.
In windows you should open the zip, drag out the updater, edit, and drag back in, because rezipping will screw up the zip due to the file names.
And next time post in Q&A sub forum unless it is a discussion.

Thanks, only for reference to other people have the same issue i shar my procedure:
1. Extracted the files in the zip
2. Open the file updater-script in ./META-INF/com/google/android/ folder
3. Removed the first 3 or 4 lines when the assertion check is made
4. Saved the file and zip the whole directory again (take care to zip inside the folder, without the directory)
5. Continue with the steps of the tutorial.
Hi guys, I'm trying to root by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852&highlight=root

I click on PDA and the cmw file doesn't show in the location I left it. I tried moving it to desktop but doesn't work either. Any ideas please?
Thanks a lot
The CWM file's extension is .img, isn't it?

Did you do unzip
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
No, I hadn't, see here I'm confused. Step 1 says unzip, but Step 9 says select unzipped file, so which should it be?
To decide, I did a little research and found out Odin should open .tar and .tar.md5 files directly, so I figured it wasn't necessary to unzip.
Anyway it doesn't find it either way, I just tried unzipping but I can't find the .img file with Odin either =/ What am I doing wrong?
.rsrc folder
One more thing, when I try to open the Downloads folder where I left the .tar file, all I can see through Odin is this .rsrc folder that apears to be empty.
Try to download it again
And unzip it

Solved!
Thank you both, I figured it out! I know it's dumb...but I didn't realize you had to run everything in Administrator mode (apparently). I tried this and it worked, it seems I was running Odin as Admin but in a non-Admin account and the files were hidden or something...
Anyway, sorry to bother you with my dumb question, but I hope this can help another dumb noob like me!
I'm ridiculously happy with my brand new CM 11 now, time to play with it!
