DEV help needed boot.img/assert failed - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

hi guys,
im running into problems.
after using kitchen and signing my rom etc, I try to flash it but it says:
Code:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot" android
I saw many people have this problem, and some say coverting to edify works.
however edify is not supported by newer recoveries.
any devs faced this problem and know how to fix??

Nope. Never had this problem. Just download Phiexz's or Delanoiter's kernel and look at the updater-script. Just copy the boot.img part

Yes you can still use your boot.img
In the updater-script look for the process where it's flash the kernel / boot.img

Yes you need Notepad++.
Select all your text and go to Edit > EOL Conversion > UNIX Format
And if you want to see the hidden format look at the picture below. It should say LF for UNIX and CR LF for Windows

You can erase unneeded spaces if you want to but it's not necessary.

Hmmm... I really don't use kitchen that much because it's really annoying getting the Rom to boot up. Plus it's not specifically for Gio. So I don't know lol

I had the same error recently when attempting to download applications on meXdroid ROM. It would only happen when I downloaded the ROM and gapps through ROM manager. Once I found and downloaded the direct zips from their website, I was able to have it running with no problem.

I'm assuming you did all this previously through ROM manager?
If so, make sure you check the MD5, full wipe, and flash through recovery with the zips from the above links. If not, I don't know if this will really help.

Try with root explorer...
i think it has something to do with not enough space error on my phone despite there being heaps.. will try and wipe a bit and see if that works but cheers for the heads up on root explorer it actually gave me a proper error.

Yeah I tried this too and it didn't work. The Desire Z is compatible though so all you need to do is follow the guide further on down: just open up the zip, locate the script you want (e.g for 100MB in cache, open zip and go to swap/cache/100/etc/init.d/ and copy the 98swap_cache_v300 file out). Then copy it to system/etc/init.d and make sure the permissions are 755 and root.root.

I just test the new version fo AOSB rom , GPS is working the Turbo Boost is working.
But the mobile phone gets slow after.
I did some test with AnTuTu Benchmark and had better results with CM7.2

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.
Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

[Q] Bootloop

After flashing a new boot.img making it unsecure using android kitchen, why do I get bootloop and how must I fix it? I also get bootloop when I replace a kernel with a custumized one with matching kernel code. This problem is very persistent for me. Any answer is appreciated. Thanks. My phone is also unlocked and rooted. Im using twrp recovery.
Reflash the original boot.img from the rom you have installed and also reflash the rom itself with a cache wipe only so the modules match too for sure.

Could there be any other reason? Misplaced headers?, if so how would I fix that?
Well you flashed something so you have to flash something back to original....its pure logic
It's all in compatibility

Ive done what you said in regards to elimating bootloop for using the regular rom and flashing the stock boot image first. However when I tweak the kernel zImage and repack into the boot.img then flash it, it goes into bootloop. I really want to use my tweaked kernel lol Any ideas on that? Ive even used your stated method for that but it doesnt work. I used android kitchen 0.224 to unpack and repack the boot.img.

It worked like a charm. My phone actually booted properly without going into bootloop with my custom kernel repacked. Thank you. I will give a donation to you soon It took me over a month figuring out how to accomplish this starting from scratch with no knowledge of linux or kernel compilation or C language I learn quickly though
