This isn't my first ICS flash, I've done it dozens of times, but this problem has stumped me.

I'm using the direct boot CWM5 kernel that was described in the instructions: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html

I'm currently running El29 Blazer 4.0.

This error just means that the assert script failed to verify your phone device id. It looks for the build.prop to identify your phone so that it wont be installed on the wrong phone. A simple way to get stock build.prop use one of sfhub's odin one click. Once done let it boot up and then odin the cwm5 kernel either thru odin or mobile odin. Wipe/data and app and proceed to install. Also no need to flash Calkulin's format all, the install script wipe's system before installing. You could also try just flashing a gingerbread rom, that might restore the proper build.prop also and you would be able to proceed from that point on. Good luck and just remember all wiping and flashing must be done on a el26 or el29 based recovery.

Yeah I used sfhub's one-click EL29 and then flashed the recovery with Odin in the PDA slot. It still doesn't work.
I know it isn't something I've done because I just flashed alpha 4 not too long ago and then oc'ed back to EL29.

I've done the one-click and then flashed the CWM5 and then tried flashing alpha5 through it and it failed. Just fyi this was before I made this thread.
I can flash EL29 roms easily but I'm not too sure about the build.prop condition on my phone other then it's not allowing me to flash ICS.
Should I be using the "directboot" CWM5 that the OP said to use or another one like EL26 Rogue repack?

I just found out what is the issue. The OP didn't specify that it won't flash unless using the EL26 Kernel with CWM5. I was using EL29 kernel with CMW5. It flashed successfully. I really appreciate your valiant effort! Seriously you saved me. I thought I had a "dead" build.prop or something. lol ^_^

Glad you got it working!

I appreciate it! I got to remember this next time.
