- If you have "assert failed" error during flashing rom you can fix it easy by on this way:

Open the zip file with 7zip. go to META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script drag it to your windows explorer (or other programs). open it with notepad and change:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT26i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT26i" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2");

to

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT26i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT26i" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "nozomi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "nozomi");

or delete them entirely . save it. then drag n drop to your opened 7zip, replacing old updater-script. - (Thanks to m1st3r1)
