[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AbhiLP:
Hey everyone, I've made this thread to help people like me who face "(assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" =="GT-S5360" error)" aka Status 7 error" while flashing custom roms/kernels.

Before we begin, here is a little introduction about it :-

Basically, Status 7 error is caused while the updater script of the Custom Rom/Kernel checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM/Kernel you are installing, called “asserts”.

In a nutshell, "Asserts" is a safety valve which prevents you from installing a Rom/Kernel meant for another device on your phone. Say, a Galaxy S rom on Galaxy Y and vice versa.

A Status 7 error generally arises due to the carelessness of the developer of the Rom/Kernel.

Now, moving onto how to fix it. There are a no. of methods on internet about fixing Status 7 errors. Here, i'm going to list the one's that i think are easy and work most of the times.

Method 1 :-

Here, i'm going to cover the most common method of removing the asserts from updater script. This method works almost 100% of the times.So, lets start right away !

Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your

computer and extract it using your favorite unzipping software (WinRar recommended)

Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the

META-INF/com/google/android

directory. You will find two files called

“update-binary” and “updater-script”.

Step 3. Rename “updater-script” to

“updater-script.txt” and open with your

favorite text file editor.

Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually

this is the first line or one of the first

lines at the top of the text file.

Step 5. Save file.

Step 6. Rename “updater-script.txt”

back to “updater-script”.

Step 7. Rezip all the files you’ve

unzipped.

Step 8. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.

Step 9. Try re-installing ROM, now it

should install fine without Status 7 error.

You can do this even on your phone with root explorer

Method 2 :-

Now this method is tricky one ! This method can be helpful for people who are willing to try out custom roms/kernels but have regional varaiants of a phone. For example, Seven variations of the model Galaxy y exist:

S5360 L , S5360 B (Brazil), S5360 T ,

S536 3, S536 7 , S536 8 , and S536 9 .

So, basically this method is based on editing the build.prop of your phone.

However,this method is still untested so try it on your own risk and responsibility !

Open your build.prop.Search the following lines in build.prop having the model name and change them as shown below :-

ro.product.model=GT-S5360

ro.product.name=GT-S5360

ro.product.device=GT-S5360

ro.build.product=GT-S5360

Save the changes.Set the permissions and Reboot and now you may be able to install the rom !

NOTE :- Incase you're using this guide for flashing cm11, you'll have to change your device name to totoro.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
While we all know that AROMA is quite wonky, to say the least, but I have noticed that touching with two fingers actually helps. I have the H/K edition along with TWRP 2.7.0.7, and no number of taps on the volume down button gets me to the "Next" button. It always stops on the three dot menu in the middle.

I can't give exact instructions about how to accomplish this as yet, as I am still working my way through AROMA myself. So far, what I have observed is that it might take a few double taps to get the touches to register properly.

Also, you cannot use the double touch to select the checkbox to agree to the terms. You have to use the volume button to navigate to it, and use the power button to select it properly. The double touch will enable the check in the box, but it is not really enabled.

Any questions? Feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer. I apologize if this was mentioned elsewhere, but I have not seen it in my explorations.

Hi, Sijav sir,

I used your prerooted C5503 4.3 version on my C5502. Worked well. Really thanks for your hard work.

You are simply great that you made it for 4.4 also.

I have few questions. Pl answer.

1. There is one more prerooted 4.4 available in forum. But install procedure is different. I am confused now. Pl clear my doubt.

2. Is there any problem to install C5503 on C5502. (I am now on C5503 4.4 already. No problem). But fear in mind.

3. Somewhere on Google, I read anyone can enable LTE by change in build.prop. Is it true? LTE is software base or hardware base?. (In India, presently no 4G, but in near future it will be available)

Advance Thanks for your patience for my questions.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
1. about the procedures: all procedure is the same it's just my rom is some kind of backup of the current state of my own system folder compressed on tar which saves the permission on every file on itself, which will flash on your phone, as I didn't had any meta-info and somehow I couldn't get one by code and I'm too lazy to build it I did this just to be sure that all permission in your system folder are set to right amount, however using an old meta-info (which currently most dev do) is somehow workable and rom will boot but some problems and malfunctioning may occur later. So I just played it safe.

2. Network vendors (BT and WIFI) are different in C5502 and C5503, I have saw many C5502 broken BT and WiFi, they had also flashed C5503 on C5502!

Flashing another phones rom on yours will result malfunctioning or bricking your phone! So I suggest under any circumstances please Flash a ROM specifically build for your phone just to be safe! (better safe than sorry right? :D)

3. LTE is hardware base! you can disable it in build.prop, you can enable it too. but if your hardware does not supported then it's nonsense!
[Sony Xperia ZR] P.A.M:
OOUPS I flashed the the ROM with PHILZ TOUCH 6 - I did not know that it PHILZ until I saw it on screen at the end....what is the risk and the consequences?
[Sony Xperia ZR] YourFriendlyNig:
By vanilla recovery...
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
No consequences,

nothing will flashed ;) or else if flashed without problems then you're good to go. it's either capable of flash it or not!
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
yes CWM recovery, or even TWRP if you have it.

when you install dual recovery you can even change the philz name to cwm and vice versa. or use NDRUtil to go to cwm.

it's easy ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] swasha123:
Thank for info.

I rooted and installed dual recovery from desktop.

But now I can not boot into recovery by hardware key or NDRUtil also.

I have installed Xperia Xposed module and then I can boot into recovery (But in Philz. by default)

But is it safe?? I have to install prerooted rom.

In case any problem, how to boot into recovery without hardware key.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
Strange, if you have installed adb by pressing up you will go to philz touch or pressing down button you will go to twrp.

you might not installed it correctly!

anyways if you have adb you can pass this command > adb reboot recovery, this will let you to go to recovery but ONLY to philz touch.
[Sony Xperia ZR] P.A.M:
I my case all flashed properly. :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
it worked with philz? :o

strange, it shouldn't, at least mine didn't work O,o
[Sony Xperia ZR] swasha123:
OK. Finally I flashed prerooted rom by Thibou.

I boot into recovery through Xperia Xposed only. No other option was working.

It was safe or not, I dont know.

Anyway working perfect as of now. Future dont know.

I dare to do this, because you devs are there for any big problem.

Thanks to you and Thibou for hard work & such a fantastic prerooted rom.
[Sony Xperia ZR] P.A.M:
I flashed from Your 4.3 Rooted Firmware.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
that was safe! if it flashed you're done alright!

yeah that old philz recovery might works :D but the newer by NUT have lots and lots of bugs in flashing anything with metadata and some other binary including the CM! which won't flash at all!!
[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
Mate. Can you guide me?

I'm currently on CM11 and I want to flash and see if stock ROM works better for me than CM11, for testing sake and also 'cuz I miss the camera terribly. :(

Should I follow the instructions in the OP, or is there another long method? I don't want to brick my phone so a li'l guidance could do me.

Thanks en avance. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
Yeah sure go ahead and flash this!

no need to do anything else ;)

These sorts of programs usually build up the battery size from use, I dont know if theres any hard and fast way for it to know otherwise. Over time your battery will degrade so youll lose capacity.

First Time I have to open a new thread :o

Is it possible, that the Data Connection speed has a negative impact on speech quality?

Today at home with WLAN ON and Mobile Data OFF,

I was wondering that I have only on telephone signal bar.

After making some changes to the mobile settings I came to the following conclusion.

The mobile signal strength is depending on your LTE/3G/GSM Settings whether you use your data connection or not!

LTE/WCDMA/GSM --> -101 dBm (1 signal Bar)

WCDMA/GSM --> -91 dBm (2 signal Bars)

Only GSM --> -69 dBm (4 signal bars)

Edit: A few minutes ago I met a friend and he was complaining about the bad speech quality of his new HTC one mini.

(He had the phone already replaced at his provider because he thought that the phone is defective)

After I changed his Data connection to Edge the speech quality was nearly perfect and his signal bar jumped from 1 to 5 bars.

I now it is not the best solution to reduce the Data speed you have paid for, but it definitely helps ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
I'd check for wakelocks or rogue apps first.

Download gsam battery monitor or better battery stats and try to see what's the reason your phone is awake.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
I agree. This should isolate the cause of your abnormal battery drain. Then you would need to determine a way to eliminate the wakelocks, using a means such as uninstalling the wake causing apps.

Alternatively you could factory reset.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

Thanks to info here at XDA I've got my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 running KitKat via Omnirom (using Android-Andi unofficial version omni-4.4.2-20140514-p5110-HOMEMADE.zip).

This seems to have cleared up the problems I had with the stock ROM (which had auto updated several times over the last year from 4.04), where the system would reboot and I'd get all kinds of force close errors all the time. This was a real problem because the main use for this particular Tab2 is that my 6 year old plays games on it.

Anyway, with Kit Kat running on it, it's smooth as butter and very stable. But the new Lego Invasion game (one of his favorites) refuses to play... it loads fine, and you can poke around in the menus and stuff, but right when the action should start, it goes back to the home screen. Not sure why the game closes like that. Once it even rebooted the tab. I've tried reinstalling the game, clearing it's app cache, etc..

Everything else is nice and smooth on the system... is there any troubleshooting I can do to figure out how to get this one app to play properly? Any optimization of settings on the tab I should do to try things? I'm a bit out of my depth.

Eventually I'll be wiping the tab again and reinstalling KK again because the specific version I used has the hardware keyboard on by default (so, I have to go and turn that off after each reboot). I'm just looking for less invasive things to try meanwhile.

Thanks!

Marc

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] N10AP:
Hello.

My Ultra has had a small issue since new - a slight screen fault

Sony saying warranty refused due to "unauthorised software upgrade"

Only ever flashed FTFs meant for the device - bootloader is locked.

I have a copy of the TA partition so I may restore that.

Should I resubmit the device once I get it back?

What are your thoughts please? Can I challenge this "unauthorised software upgrade" nonsense?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Didn't you restore the TA partition before you sent it in?? If no, that's the reason why they're not fixing it. If you did restore.it, you've probably flashed a FTF from a different region. Be sure to restore and lock your bootloader and also be running the correct firmware from your region.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] N10AP:
Nope. Like an idiot I didn`t. I have numerous Sony phones here. A few Ultras etc

Can`t remember unlocking the bootloader on it.

I do have all TA partitions backed up with locked bootloader and unrooted so I will restore and send it back in.

If they will accept it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, that's probably it. Just be sure to have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING stock. Especially when you send it to Sony themselves. It's not a big deal if you're sending it in to an authorized service center (that's not Sony). They get money from Sony per repairment, so they're usually not that worried about details like these (my own experiences in Norway, so don't start assumeing things now).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] N10AP:
It isn`t actually Sony it is indeed some kind of subcontractor based in the south of the UK.

I haven`t received the handset back. Really worried about the condition it will come back in. It was immaculate and unmarked when it left me.

Hope they haven`t knackered it :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm, yeah that would be really bad. You didn't take a couple of photos of it with today's newspaper or anything before you shipped it? If not, that's a good idea to do. That way you'll have proof that it wasn't broken when you shipped it.

Aren't there any other autorized repair centers where you live? Or did you ship it to your carriers repair center?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] N10AP:
I rang Sony, they sent an email, I sent the handset freepost to this firm in the south.

Fingers crossed it is back today. Anyway, off to College! (I`m 35 so a mature learner!)

Yup! Let's hope it goes well! Nice to see that people are still going back to school. I'm going back myself this fall, and i'm 28.

[HTC One X] Sujan Baruah:
Just today i found out this problem. Whenever someone calls me from outside i get the error 'com.android.phone has stopped working' and the tower completely disappears. On my phone there is neither any call received or missed record after this. On the other end i just hear couple of rings before it starts beeping (sign of call disconnect).

Am on android 4.4.2 (Beanstalk). If i think about it then this has been happening even before too (other 4.4 roms) but only today i realized that its because of the incoming calls. Outgoing calls is fine. No tower disappearance, nothing.

WHY on 4.4. Please someone help......
[HTC One X] Sujan Baruah:
Okay.... Figured out what happened. Here is what i did to mess things up,

1. Dirty flash over Omni Rom (Currently beanstalk).

2. Use Titanium Backup to restore system settings data.

Now i did a complete clean install and things are okay....
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah its kinda weird to dirty flash 2 completely different roms :confused:
[HTC One X] Sujan Baruah:
'Completely' different? How? Both are Kitkat so any app or data restored from a previous rom shouldnt be any problem. I think the real culprit is Titanium as it probably had data dating back to my sense roms.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You flash beanstalk over omnirom......mandatory rule when you switch to another rom is to full wipe the phone ! I'm not talking about restoring data.....you say you dirty flashed 2 roms. They are all different even if they are kitkat roms. There are many sense 5 roms but also all different.

Never dirty flash 2 different roms over each other it's waiting for trouble ! That's about written everywhere....

Like 2 different cars with the same color.....parts won't fit :rolleyes:
