Can't update CyanogenMod

DracoAzule · Feb 15, 2014

I'm on the latest TWRP version for my device. When I try to update to the new CyanogenMod nightlies I get the following error.

assert failed getprop ("ro.bootloader) = = "I747UCUEMJ2"
getprop ("ro.bootloader) = = "I747UCUEMJB"
getprop ("ro.bootloader) = = "I747MVLDMF1"
getprop ("ro.bootloader) = = "I747MVLUEMK5"
getprop ("ro.bootloader) = = "I747MUMUEMK3"

E: Error executing updater binary in zip "/sdcard/cmupdater/cm-11-20140215-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip"
Error flashing zip "/sdcard/cmupdater/cm-11-20140215-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip"

Your phone needs to have the latest TWRP or CWM installed and your bootloader must match one of the bootloaders in the list.

What list?

The list in your original post. Those bootloaders are listed in the updater script of the ROM you are trying to install.

DracoAzule · Feb 16, 2014

Oh so that's a bootloader list?

I have the latest TWRP. Do you know where I can find those bootloaders?

I prefer using a CWM-based recovery because I had problems with the latest TWRP.

Which phone do you have?

Be careful with loading bootloaders, especially the 4.3 bootloader because it can't be downgraded.

Here's a link to Philz Touch: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att

You can download the latest zip and flash it in TWRP.

After that, try flashing CM11.

Ok. My phone just happens to be in the middle of a Titanium Backup operation that's going to take a while so I'll try it out tomorrow and get back to you.

DracoAzule · Feb 19, 2014

Ok. I tried updating with the new recovery. No go. Tried updating the bootloader as well to one of the ones in the list. Still no go.

I got the bootloader from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

Which recovery did you install? Which bootloader did you install? Are you doing a full wipe before installing?

DracoAzule · Feb 19, 2014

I installed philz touch version 6.15.4 and I installed the modem_CWM_I747UCUEMJB bootloader.

And no I'm not doing full wipes. But what difference would it make? Should I do a full wipe then try installing a new ROM?

Yes, not wiping can cause the ROM to hang during bootup but usually doesn't cause the ROM not to install.

DracoAzule · Feb 20, 2014

Well I tried wiping. Still a no go.

I'm going to reflash TWRP and then restore my original ROM backup, then see if I can flash a new CM from there.

EDIT: Actually I just realized the update I downloaded earlier was a radio update, not a bootloader update. TWRP still wouldn't install it. It was giving another weird error I didn't really bother to look at. I reflashed philz touch again and it installed like a charm.

I'll just have to remember not to restore a backup with an older bootloader again. I'll go ahead and make a new 'original' backup with a fresh install of CM.
