Hi, I'm trying to install the latest OTA 2.5 but TWRP is unable to install it. It just gives me the following error:

script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") == "tn7_114gp"
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") == "tn7_114gp"
I:Legacy property environment disabled.
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/emmc/nvidia/app/ota/download/ROM/tegra_note_7_-_ota_2.5__4.4.2.zip'
Error flashing zip '/emmc/nvidia/app/ota/download/ROM/tegra_note_7_-_ota_2.5__4.4.2.zip'

What can I do about this?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
I didnt receive that issue when I installed an OTA. Its best to modify the updater script and exclude the file checks aswell as device check.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] freeekbert:
You mean to edit the OTA zip file? Could you please give me hint what exactly I'd have to modify? Thanks!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
late reply, better late than never lol

remove any and all patch checks which usually include the first half of the file, remove the device check too to be safe, but remember whoever has modified the system then installs an OTA, should expect FC etc
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] freeekbert:
I only commented out the line that created the actual error message and it worked like a charm.

Tegra Note 7 Help

If I Root This Device And Flash TWRP. Will I Still Able To Recive OTA Updates And Successfully Install Them.Thanks
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Rotondo:
with ultimate twrp yes (if u don't use xposed)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] asratxda:
Hi Shaky, Rooted My Tegra Note 7 (Xolo) today as its warranty period is over (I always root my devices after warranty period :) :) ). Thanks for compiling TWRP recovery. Is it possible to backup my stock recovery with a "dd" command. Is it necessary to create a backup of stock recovery? ... ... ... And what should I try/do next i.e ROM/Kernel/MODs/etc... ?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] yastroa:
HI guy, i need your help.

the twrp recovery wipe the /date will make /data is not writable for lolipop. if you use the twrp wipe the /date ,you would have to flash the CWM or offical recovery to wipe. ﻿
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
You can backup recovery using dd command but nvidia provide stock recovery in their images they provide. Also installing custom kernel is the next best thing to do. I am not aware of any custom ROMS for tegra note 7

This will require a new TWRP

Yes you can, aslong as you dont install xposed and remove patch checks in installer script if youve modified stuff as itll prevent the ota from installing
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ysy:
Two annoying issues remain with TWRP v2.7.1.0 V4 :::

1. Its wipe of /data makes /data unwritable for Lollipop.

(29th July 2015, 04:44 AM |#216 – yastroa )

2. The display is flipped correctly, but there's a part on the right that is not flipped, and that part belongs to the left side of the screen.

(14th July 2014, 04:11 PM |#205 – mouhii )

It would still be wonderful to see these problems fixed.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] astuermer:
I wanted to flash my EVGA TegraNote from start to get a clean installation.

So I downloaded the TEGRA NOTE 7 [P1640] NON-GMS RECOVERY IMAGE from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload

Everything worked fine, but only the stock recovery os working.

If I try to flash some custom recovery the device just skips recovery and boots directly to the system - it doesn't matter if I use the old CWM or the TWRP (in different version).

Is there any chance to get TWRP working?

Kind regards

Ok will do, ill try the new one you have uploaded and ill fall back on CWM worste case scenerio. Ill report back in aprox 7 hours

This may be a dumb question, but is there currently a way to to boot into recovery while loaded into android? usually i got spoiled and it was added into the power menu but im positive that was a rom feature. Or is the only way to do it is threw adb or button presses?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
Adb reboot recovery... Or terminal reboot recovery

Reboot recovery menu is a ROM feature which there are no custom ROMS... Yet :)

Quick Boot

There's an app called Quick Boot that will do that. Get it from the Play Store. Tried it and works.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
This is one of the last few tests, everything works appart from the User Interface, I've narrowed it down so if this one doesnt clearly show the UI, the next TWRP recovery should show the User Interface. Also note to everyone, I dont see any development going on? there is a CWM recovery that functions in the OP, I've made a backup with it etc, kernel development is what developers should be working on now since recovery is working. TWRP is my personal preference, thats the reason I'm bringing it to Tegra Note 7 as it has much more advanced features and optimizations than CWM...

Download link to TWRP: http://d-h.st/mm7

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
With tests hopefully will have a fully working TWRP tonight... also may start on kernel development at a later stage or maybe sooner depending on whenever I manage to get my device fixed, If and when I can get access to nvflash mode via the nvflash binary, I definitely will be able to fix my device as I have all the necessary required files, even if I could gain access to fastboot mode I'd be able to fix the device, plenty of methods to fix, just need access to 1 of these modes....

Thanks that would be awesome, link is under my username :)

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] else, Ive managed to get TWRP showing and on screen correctly (needs a little tweaking), 1 more issue left which is a major issue, that is touchscreen, people who have updated to 4.3 your touchscreen will not work on TWRP compared to 4.2.2, their touchscreen should work, nvidia has done changes to touchscreen, but they havent released kernel source so theres 2 options, both require patience,

1 - wait for nvidia to release kernel source

2 - modify the bct partitions and expand the recovery partition

using a precompiled kernel takes the recovery to a whooping 9MB and the recovery partition size is only 8.3MB max. So touch wont work unless you're on 4.2.2 ( I will release the recovery.img for 4.2.2 if someone could test this please) thanks

So for now its best to use CWM, functions well, does the job, now its onto custom kernel... :)

Ill see in the future if i can modify code to use buttons to toggle TWRP options instead of touchscreen
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] BKO Overdrive:
Will do thanks for the update
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] damianiw:

Quick question do we have a way of restoring the original recovery img (or can i back it up prior to loading cwm) ?

I'm struggling to get it recognised by adb devices, I did download the latest android SDK but still no joy, could be hangover from last tablet ?

- I'm pretty new with Android so could someone clarify the steps please to unlock, get root, and install CWM

Update on kernel & ROM, I have a kernel compiled but cannot test, it will only work on 4.2.2 not 4.3, ROM is nearly done will only support 4.3

Also im working on very important stuff so will require patience

And by ROM I mean kitkat, it should work as long as it doesn't require modification to kernel

Nice work, we are on the same step, I wont really be working on my TWRP until I fix my TN7, have been busy so havent looked at any of this recently.

@ everyone else, I've been really busy so not done any work on recovery or kernel, once my device is fixed and I have free time I will take a look at finishing off TWRP and starting on a custom kernel (Need device to test kernel bootup etc, but most of its done kernel should work)

also I dont want messages or posts saying this doesnt work without a Log, no Logs messages and posts will be ignored
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MATTHEWLONG:
Many thanks to every one for all there help on the Root, CWM, TWRP etc. I am having trouble getting the OTA 1.1 update released in the UK today to install. Has anyone else had any issues. I am currently using Tegra note 7 super tool which is fantastic. I have carried out all 4 stages of the tool.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Matt
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Pacattack:
The quickest way is .....

Restore the rom back to the 100 % original 4.3 update, with no cwm recovery or root.

Do the update and then re-root etc (this will wipe your 16gb) ..... Sorry :(
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MATTHEWLONG:
Its not a worry and least others will be aware. The issue is that even with the restore, bootloader unlocked (using tegra note 7 tool), it still wouldnt take the update. I will try again now.

It gets through about 25% of the update and errors out on the android screen with error! written under the android.

With CWM installed:

It then gives the option to install untrusted zip.

Select: yes

installing update...

assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "tegranote"

E: Error in /cache/ota.zip

Installation aborted.

Rebooting...

Any thoughts?.

that means your build prop doesnt match the zips build prop I will look at both to see the differance.

stock = ro.product.device=tegranote

restore tool = ro.product.device=tegranote

ota = assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "tegranote" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "tegranote");

all this looks good what is your build.prop say
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MATTHEWLONG:
Sorry about this. Where do I look for the build.prop Tomsgt?.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Tomsgt:
in the system dir file name build.prop you can use es file explorer to view it

you are in stock recovery right. you cant use CWM recovery only stock
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MATTHEWLONG:
ro.build.product=tegranote

That looks right?.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Tomsgt:
are you trying to use cwm recovery to update? you must be on stock recovery
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MATTHEWLONG:
I will run the supertool to put back to stock and try again. I will then check the buildprop.

Thanks.

Give me 5 mins
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Tomsgt:
run option 2 and then reboot into device and setup then a ota should come into device. click download and apply it will boot into recovery and install let me know what errors you get then

also it doesnt matter what build.prop says

He was using cwm to flash ota and it was failing because cwm device Id is cm _ tegranote not tegranote and he was using cwm. I had him restore to stock recovery but it still fails to update.

tool will be up in 5 minutes should be just a little bigger then the last one
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Pacattack:
Well done ! Getting there

Edit updater-script again and remove " nv_copy_blob_file("blob", "/staging"); "

Then it should work

You will loose root and recovery, easy to replace :)

As cwm can not do nv, unless the script is changed.

Thanks Pacattack

Cheers,

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Pacattack:
Tomsgt new tool 1.2 works great :) (if don't mind loosing all your data)

If your bootloader is lock use option 1 first then

1. use option 2 (install 4.3 update)

2. reboot and do a setup.

3. use option 3 (cwm recovery)

4. use option 5 (Full root)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Tomsgt:
at option 2 you can restore the device and when it ask you are asked to wipe just close the tool and reboot manually and you will keep you data.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Pacattack:
:laugh: I was only quoting you :laugh:

1. It is recommened to wipe data, especially if you were on a custom rom.

2. If you don't you will probably bootloop and have to wipe anyway...

3. Press any key to Wipe the tablet's data (EXCLUDING EXTERNAL SDCARD)

or exit the utility and manually reboot the device

and why does option 2, don't go to fastboot, like the rest of the options :laugh:

Great Job :)

Thanks Tomsgt. I will try today.
