[HELP] Unbricking Kindle Fire 1; stuck in TWRP v2.7.1.0 and can't flash any ROM - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA,
I have a Kindle Fire gen 1. I had tried to upgrade the OS to 4.x.x. But my KF was so lag, crash and really slow. After that, I installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 to go back to stock rom. But I got stuck in flashing any rom. I had downloaded stock rom from amazon, copied file "update.zip" to sdcard, and flashed it and everytime the result was:
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "blaze" ||
E :unknown command [err_string]
getprop("ro.build.product") == "blaze"
E :unknown command [err_string]
E :Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/update.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
I had tried to upgrade twrp to higher version but, whenever i flashed or install anything, the result was the same.
My KF was brick from 2014, today I found it in my closet, and made an effort to bring HIM back to life. Sorry about my terrible English.
Thank you so much.

[Q] Status 7 Error Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly Build 14

Dear Forum Members,
I have a problem with my Desire HD.
My phone is rooted and has the 3.0.0.5 ClockworkMod Recovery installed.
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly Build 14 for HTC Desire HD.
Iv'e downloaded the .zip file and put it on my SD-Card.
I went to ROM Manger and tried both ways (Install ROM from SD-Card ore Reboot in recovery mode and install it there).
Both ways I ended up getting this strange message:
Installing update…
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "bravo" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "bravo"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_bravo_full-14.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Is any one seen this error before? and if so can you please help me.
Kind Regards,
Whiteness.

The error messages suggest your trying to install the ROM for Bravo or the original Desire, I think you may have the wrong ROM?
Good be now downloading the ace version
Let you know!

Can't install zips in recovery

I've got a nasty problem on my Sprint Gnex. Every time I boot into recovery and tell it to flash a .zip file, it returns this:
Code:
-- Installing (whatever).zip
Finding update Package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "toroplus" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "toroplus"
E:Error in (whatever).zip
I have this problem in CWM and CWM Touch as flashed by ROM Manager. I've tried to edit my build.prop file to say either toroplus or torospr, but neither setting works. It doesn't matter what zip I use, they all die here.
I can back up and restore using nandroid, so what's broken and how do I fix it?
Try flashing the toroplus CWM image via fastboot: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-toroplus.img
That did it! Thanks!

"Status 7" error in CWM while installing ROM

Hey everyone,
I'm currently trying to install the latest CM10 FXP131 ROM on my Arc S Lt18i. I flashed my phone to the first ICS Stock ROM by Sony and rooted it to install CWM Recovery.
Now, the next step was to flash the ROM. So I downloaded the Anzu version of the ROM, copied it to my SD and changed into Recovery mode. I picked "install zip from sdcard" and chose the ZIP I've just downloaded.
But instead of installing the ROM I got a error every time. It says
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20120731-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip
(Status 7)
Installing aborted
Can someone help me to finally install the ROM?
Thank you so much,
Max
You also need to install the kernel.
Something like this a few lines above?
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT18i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT18I" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "LT18i"

Nope, this is the full protocol:

set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20120731-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip

Just for information. The first thing I've done after installing CWN was straight installing the .zip . I did not flashed the kernel or wipe. Maybe that has something to say?
EDIT: Oh, and after every try to install the ROM my phones hangs up at the "SONY" logo and won't boot. I always have to flash the original sony .ftf to make it run again :/
Thank you,
Max
Open the cm-10-20120731-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip with a zip viewer, extract the boot.img and flash it via fastboot. Then perform a Full Wipe and try to flash the ROM again.

I will try that, but I need a unlocked bootloader for that all, right? Or isn't that necassary at all?

If you want to flash cyanogen you have to unlock your bootloader. An unlocked bootloader is recommend for flashing custom Roms and kernels.
Thank you for your clarification! It's working now! =)

Hello... I'm flashing new ROM and facing Status 7 error with what you said at the front... Here's the error message:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "c8812" | | gerprop ("ro.build.product") == "c8812" | | getprop ("ro.product.device") == C8812 "| | getprop (" ro.build.product ") ==" C8812 "
E: Error in / sdcard/C8812_20120822005.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Can I know the cause of this and how to overcome that? Please & Thanks!
I'm getting this exact same problem on my Arc S except with cm10 Fxp138. My bootloader is unlocked, im rooted, i flashed the kernel first and STILL i get Status 7 error installation aborted. If someone could help, that'd be great
I am also getting the same error but on Sony LWW with Pacman JB ROM.
I also got this status 7 error with the code "Status 7 - symlink: some symlinks failed".
After deleting the first line (before the ; sign) I could get the rom to install.
I would like to know, why / how this can happen... Maybe flashing a false kernel or other things?
I think maybe binary and script don't match each other; or maybe there's error in text of script
(sorry for my bad english)
try to flash the kernel lupus
Firstly, give us recovery log. Secondly, I had such an issue with CM7.1 quite long time ago. I've fixed it by changing phone's ID from LT18i to LT15i via fastboot. There's a proper command for it.
1. Go to CWM
2. Plug phone
3. "adb pull tmp/recovery"
WHAT ?
Try a full wipe ( data , cache )
CM10 on my ARC
I have the same, install new baseband upper then 70 or official ics 4.0.4 then use flashtools to install kernel and flash rom
You have unlocked bootloader ??
i have "Status 7 - symlink: some symlinks failed" when i try install Jelly-v4.zip. anyone help me, i have downloaded that rom 3 times but it can't help

I had a lot of frustration with this. Had many attempts. The only thing that seemed to work for me was to flash the doomlord kernel. Then it worked perfectly.

[Q] CM 10.1.2 Won't Flash with TWRP

I'm on an SGH-1747M running TWRP 2.6.3.0 and I'm trying to flash CM10.1.2 d2att. When I try to flash the ROM zip, it says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader" == 1747
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1747MVLDLK4"
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1747MUMBLK3"
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1747MUMBLL1"
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/extern
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/cm-10.1.2-d2att.zip'. . .
Then it repeats that log again and says Failed. Any way to get it to work? I'm able to flash any other ROMs, just not this one.
Never mind, I got it to work by updating the bootloader.
