I have an Xperia Play of the R800at variety, rooted but locked. (I refuse to unlock the bootloader out of fear for my warranty.) However, I installed ClockWorkMod using the Xperia App. I attempted to install the latest CyanogenMod for my device, but, even after I formatted the cache, system, and data and doing a factory reset, I got:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "R800i" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "R800i" || getprop ("ro.product.board") == "R800i" || getprop ("ro.product.device") == "R800a" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "R800a" || getprop ("ro.product.board") == "R800a" || getprop ("ro.product.device") == "R800at" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "R800at" || getprop ("ro.product.board") == "R800at" || getprop ("ro.product.device") == "zeus" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "zeus" || getprop ("ro.product.board") == "zeus"
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-XperiaPlay-zeus-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Removing the assert check would only deliver:
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-XperiaPlay-zeus-signed.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.

Does anyone know what is the issue?

All of those errors have to do with the build.prop file in the system... [it's the file that tells your phone what kind of phone it is, among other important things] Have you tried downloading the ROM a second time? It might have been corrupted somehow.

Edit: doing factory resets for cyanogenmod are usually never done, sometimes not supported. Instead, just wiping system/data and reflashing the rom achieves the same thing [a fresh start].

Sounds like the ROM didn't download correctly. Try redownloading and reflashing it. If it gives you an error again, bring it to the rootzwiki.com forums (a separation from xda-developers with less noobs) and ask around, they might know whats up.

A. CyanogenMOD requires a custom Kernel.
B. You can only get custom Kernels by unlocking your phones bootloader.
C. You can only install customized default firmware (custom firmware based on stock).
D. CyanogenMOD is useless for the Xplay as it disables the hardware buttons in many games and causes errors in them not working properly.

Hope this helps :)


Also: To get your phone back and working your going to have to do a complete format through SEUS or use flashtool to flash generic firmware version.

Even more Also: Some phones don't require custom kernels for CM7 mostly older phones, but i assure you custom kernels are the case for XPlay users.

I did that multiple times with different Cyanogen ROMS, all with the same results.

Kehhei!

Thank you. (No; I was angry at the fact that CyanogenMod is useless to my Xperia Play. Thank you for informing me.)

    bout to buy me some prescription safety glasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Got eye insurance? Some do custom laser cutting engraving same day in office
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
