I wanted to flash the CM7 stable rom and something went wrong. I followed the instructions on the first page of this thread but cant flash and now I cant even restore my old Virtuous 3.2 rom. This is what I did so far.
Followed steps from BRETT #5 post in this thread.
Step 1-
Find the rom that you want to flash and then download it. You can download it through Rom Manager (it will download directly to your sd card) or you can download it from the internet and then put it on your SD card.
Step 2-
Go to Rom Manager and select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. Follow the short instruction to select your device and then flash the recovery. This will flash the latest Clockwork Recovery that you will be using. It is recommended that you are connected to wifi because the recovery is a pretty big file but it is up to you.
Step 3-
When your devices finishes downloading the recovery you can now select 'Reboot into Recovery'. This will restart your device but instead of going to your home screen after rebooting, you will be taken to the recovery screen/menu.
Step 4-
Now you want to make a Nandroid Backup. What this will essentially do is create a backup of your current setup (your current rom) as well as all of your files and settings that on your device (this excludes your sd card). To do this you need to select the option 'backup and restore'. Now you have 2 options, 'make a backup' and 'restore backup'. You want to make a backup so highlight that one and select it. Your device is now creating a copy of its current software state.
Step 5-
Once the backup finishes you are going to now wipe your device. There are only 3 things that you should be wiping. You will be wiping the data (all of your user and app data), cache (accumulated junk files) and the Dalvik cache (related to you JIT compiler, if you are running 2.2 and above). From the main menu of your Clockwork Recovery screen you will need to select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" to wipe all of you data. Next go to "Wipe Cache Partition" to wipe your device's cache. Last but not least, you will need to go to "advanced" and then to to "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
Step 5-
Now you are ready to install the rom that you downloaded. Go back to the main screen of your recovery (back out of the advanced menu) and select "install zip from sd card" and then select "choose zip from sd card". Now you need to find the Rom file on your SD card. If you downloaded it through Rom Manager then it will be in your Clockwork folder. If you downloaded it through a browser and put it on your SD card then it will be where you placed it. It is important to make sure that you select the correct file.
(I DOWNLOADED IT THROUGH MY BROWSER AND PUT IT IN THE ROOT OF MY SD CARD)
My problem is when I go to update the zip I get a message that says
assert failed:get prop(ro.product.device) (ro.build product) (ro.product. board)
E:error in /sdcard/update cm7.0.0 Speedy signed.zip
(status7)
installation aborted
Now I even tried to restore my old rom (viruous 3.2) but that is not working. I am getting an error message that says
Checking MD5 sums
MD5 mismatch!
Any help here would be appreciated.
