[Q] Flashing CM11-M12 to my Sprint M7 fails - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm tired of the 'System Update' notifications on my M7, so I finally decided to flash CM11 to it (CM Was all I used on my Samsung phones as the Samsung ROMs SUCK, but the HTC ROMs aren't horrible for stock).
I downloaded the 'm7spr' version of CM11 M12 and GApps, then transferred them to my M7 and rebooted to TWRP. When I tried to flash it, I got 'This Package is for device: m7wls, m7spr; this device is m7.'
I downloaded and was able to flash the 'm7' version of CM11 M12, but while it booted, it was not able to find the network, probably because the 'm7' build is for GSM phones and mine is a Sprint phone.
Any ideas why the phone shows 'm7' as phone type when it's a *Sprint* m7, or a way to override that check and flash the ROM?

Well I'm not a fan of Cyanogenmod roms. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't use it (each to there own and all that) but normally when I see issues like this I tend to first of all think it's a Rom issue.
Are you sure your version of TWRP is compatible with Cyanogen mod roms. Check the the CM11 m12 thread see what recovery and version is recommended.
If you found my posts helpful, no need to say thanks. There's a button for that

I installed the latest version of TWRP. I tried the unofficial CM12 ROM that I found floating around here and had the same thing.
Finally, after finding a post from someone on the CM forums that had the same issue (but never got an answer) that had a little info from the update script, I took a chance and added 'getprop("ro.build.product") == "m7spr" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7" ||' to the 'updater-script' file and zipped it back up. I was then able to flash the ROM and have a normally functioning phone.

Bump, I have the same issue as well. Do I need to update the script as described above?

If you edit it, you can get it to flash.

I'm also having trouble with this, can you post exactly what you changed? I am trying to flash from stock to the latest Sprint m7 nightly and get the same compatability message, that my phone is "m7" and that the rom is for "m7spr."
If I understand correctly, you went in and changed:
META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script <- is that the right location?
Here is what I see when I open that up in notepad:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7wls" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "m7wls" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7spr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "m7spr" || abort("This package is for device: m7wls,m7spr; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + ".");
ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));
package_extract_dir("install", "/tmp/install");
set_metadata_recursive("/tmp/install", "uid", 0, "gid", 0, "dmode", 0755, "fmode", 0644);
set_metadata_recursive("/tmp/install/bin", "uid", 0, "gid", 0, "dmode", 0755, "fmode", 0755);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system", "");
run_program("/tmp/install/bin/backuptool.sh", "backup");
unmount("/system");
if is_mounted("/data") then
run_program("/tmp/install/bin/otasigcheck.sh") != "31744" || abort("Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset");
else
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata", "/data", "");
run_program("/tmp/install/bin/otasigcheck.sh") != "31744" || abort("Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset");
unmount("/data");
endif;
show_progress(0.750000, 0);
block_image_update("/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat");
show_progress(0.020000, 10);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system", "");
run_program("/tmp/install/bin/backuptool.sh", "restore");

So something in those top lines needs to change. I tried setting them all to m7 but that didn't work. Which ones did you change exactly?

OK - updating to the latest version of TWRP fixes this issue.

[tutorial] creating simple update.zip

creating simple update.zip is very easy if you know all the basics
some basics are as follows
1. folder structure
*META-INF (compulsory)
*system
*data
many folders can be added but for simple update.zip these three are required.
Click to expand...

2. META-INF folder structure
META-INF> com (certificates lies here)
META-INF> com> google
META-INF> com> google> android (updater-script and update-binary lies here)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. update-binary:-
created in C language cannot be created by anyone, it handles every command which is written in updater-script and do everything from extraction to writing image files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. updater-script:-
this file contains all the commands which are needed to do the work, basic commands are provided below
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. update-script common commands:-
Code:
ui_print("");
# put the lines in between "" what you want cwmr to show while flashing
e.g ui_print("text by DHLALIT11");
-------------------------
Code:
show_progress(0, 0);
# before comma is the number by which you want to increase the progress, 1 is complete 0.20 is 20%, after comma is the time until which progress bar will keep progressing when time will be completed progress bar will show 20%
e.g:- show_progress(.50, 5);
-------------------------
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl12", "/system");
# command is used to mount system without mounting nothing can be copied to system (will not work on rfs file system
-------------------------
Code:
package_extract_dir("folder name", "/path");
# this command is used to extract the files which you have copied to system folder of the package to the system folder of the phone
(e.g:- package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
-------------------------
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/data");
# command is used to mount data without mounting nothing can be copied to data (may not work on rfs file system )
-------------------------
Code:
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
# this command is used to extract the files which you have copied to data folder of the package to the data folder of the phone
-------------------------
package_extract_file("path/to/file", "/path/to/extract");
# command is used to extract the script or any other file to temp folder.
e.g:-
Code:
package_extract_file("script/tool.sh", "/tmp/tool.sh");
-------------------------
Code:
delete_recursive("folder name");
# use to delete a complete folder that can be system, data, cache etc.
e.g:- delete_recursive("/system/media");
# will delete media folder from /system
-------------------------
Code:
delete("file with complete patch");
# use to delete a single file
e.g:- delete("/system/app/app.apk");
# app.apk will be deleted from /system/app
-------------------------
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
# this command is used to give permission to a file, in this scenario we are giving permission to su file to make it work properly.
-------------------------
Code:
set_perm_recursive (1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "data/app");
# this command is used to give permission to the whole folder, in this scenario we are giving permission to app folder to make it work properly.

8. /tmp folder:- a folder where all temporary files like boot.img, updater.sh, modem.bin are extracted
Click to expand...

------------------------------------
the file you want copy to system or data through update.zip must be placed in the system or data folder of update.zip along with the folder structure
suppose you want to install busybox then the file must be placed like this:- update.zip> system> xbin> busybox
want to install YouTube as system app then the app must be placed like this:- update.zip> system> app> YouTube.apk
want to install YouTube as data app then the app must be placed like this:- update.zip> data> app> YouTube.apk

OK, Thank you very much for this quick tutorial. It's so useful for me
I think you should add it to your signature to point out it (I didn't notice it untill you had mentioned it in my topic).
I think also you may add some more commands for Updater-Script.
Q: Can I get input from user via CWM? ^_^
I don't like to update my sig with my mobile and am away from my computer from about 1 week don't know when I will update it
Nice.
It should give noobs a guide to modify roms to their liking instead of asking rom devs to remove this and add that,now they can edit the rom themselves and with rootexplorer do it all from your phone.
updated op, there was a mistake in show progress command please read it again
thank.. i found what i need
I finally found this tutorial, as I suspect, like copy-paste it in the same directory.
*sorry for my bad english*
what you want to copy and paste in the same directory
Very well written tutorial !!!. Was very easy to understand.
...
@dheeraj (dhlalit11)
This script is called "edify" script. This is just a suggestion because you have not mentioned it in your tutorial.
...
...
Is it possible to set properties of "build.prop" file from updater-script?. From terminal we can use "setprop" command, is there similar command that can be used in the updater-script. Or may be some busybox command i.e "run_program(...)" ???
you will need to create a script then create its flashable zip in updater-script first extract it to /tmp, make it executable then run it through run program command
awesome............
done editing
guys any fixing needed please reply

Just remove it n at last '#' is used for command line!!
from the first command remove the yaffs2
that busybox mount command will mount /data
the permission should be 06755
and also remove those getprop lines they are useless
Please tell permissions for frameworkres.apk

[Q] LT25i (XV) flashing error - "this is a mint"

Hi guys, please take a minute to help a fellow Sony fan out...
I managed to unlock bootloader via flashtool, root and install recovery as on istux's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798411
But when I try to flash DirtyUnicorns_Unofficial_Tsubabsa_build2, it tells me..."This package is for LT25i Tsubasa devices; this is a mint."!
I don't know if this is related at all, but when I try to wipe the cache, it says "failed to unmount /cache"
Why does it think it is a "mint" (whatever that is) and how do I fix this?
From being stuck in recovery after wiping data, the only thing I can do is flash stock 4.3 FTF (9.2.A.2.5) again using flashtool. Is there a better way out of this?

If you're completely sure you're installing the correct ROM for your phone, then you need to use 7zip to open the ROM zip file (Open Archive) and navigate to "\META-INF\com\google\android\" and extract the "updater-script" file. Edit it with Notepad++ (or use Linux, do not use Windows notepad) and delete the first command:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "lt29i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "lt29i" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "hayabusa" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "hayabusa" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT29i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT29i" || abort("This package is for \"lt29i,hayabusa,LT29i\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););
The example above is from a ROM for a TX. Yours should similar.
The first line of the script should start with:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/System", "/system");
Save the file and re-add it to the ROM zip file, replacing the previous updater-script, then you can connect your phone to your PC and use ADB to push the file back to the sdcard on the phone.
Also, if you only wiped /data, then you could just reboot, wait for Android to start up and copy the file normally. Then reboot back to recovery and reflash. On the other hand, if you wiped /system, ADB is your only option, unless you want to reflash a stock FTF.
I'm pretty sure this is because the command checks the phones build.prop to see if the device/product matches certain strings that identify your device, but apparently they don't always match.

Antiga, thank you very much, I actually succeeded by following your advice from post #10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581336
I wiped everything but just restored a nandroid backup I made in recovery before wiping and that worked when i needed to copy different files after things went wrong with the flash.
Would there be any problem caused by not being able to unmount /cache during wiping?

I wiped everything but just restored a nandroid backup I made in recovery before wiping and that worked when i needed to copy different files after things went wrong with the flash.
Would there be any problem caused by not being able to unmount /cache during wiping?

You're welcome. It's happened to me before, never known why, but after flashing a different ROM you can always try wiping /cache again; it generally works.

OOS Beta 8 Nougat; what is the firmware file lksecapp.mbn

In the new OOS beta 8 Nougat thay added a new firmware file lksecapp.mbn its flashed to /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/lksecapp
but when I look there on my current MM OOS the device is not there, so where are they flashing this file to and what is it?

The bootloader Qualcomm uses is Little kernel "lk"
I hypothesize it means "little kernel secure applications"
I can someone with the know how can verify this?
Guys!
There is a lksecapp.mbn of the right size in the MEGA unbrick tool, but in ****rary to most of the other files there there is no xml saying where to flash it to.
I have now the new beta 8 on my OP3 but i still dont see /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/lksecapp
how the hack can this be updated when its not a device where its expected to be?

But thats only for the system partition.
this change does not explain how lksecapp.mbn can be flashed to a non listed block device

lg g6 stuck on boot

I have h870, i unlocked its bootloader, installed twrp, then rooted it. I then tried to flash the pixel experience rom through twrp recovery, however its fails and gives error: this rom is for h870 lucye. Now the phone has no os and is stuck on lg g6 logo.
How can i fix this?
Reboot in recovery mode and try flashing another ROM (or if you have a backup of the previous one, try restoring backup)

don't use the official twrp, use orangefox recovery
To avoid the error, go into
(ROM ZIP)/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
and delete these lines
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "g6" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "g6" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "lucye" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "lucye" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "h870" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "h870" ||
abort("E3004: This package is for device: g6,lucye,h870; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
or if you don't want to delete too much, just delete the "abort" line.
Hope this helps
Use orange recovery project and try flashing another ROM like havocOS.
