Whatever, the problem is resolved. I just fastboosted the phone to flash the latest version of cyanogenmod. There was no point rooting the phone anyway and It was a bad part of me to try to flash it via recovery mode.

can you tell me how to do this?

The update is failing for a reason. What is your current version? What version is the update you're applying? Do you have any modifications to your current setup at all?

I think the best idea for you is to start from scratch. Unlock the bootloader (if it isn't already unlocked), install TWRP recovery, then install Calkulin's stock rooted 38R ROM. From there you should have no problems receiving further updates.

normal people and incorrect e-footer
Hi guys. I'm trying to flash the rom on a galaxy S4 to get rid of bloatware and free up memory. It's been a bit of a learning curve. I softbricked the machine and rescued it with odin but of course that is a stock rom and not what I want. EVERY CUSTOM ROM I HAVE TRIED ABORTS INSTALL DUE TO FAILED SIGNATURE VERIFICATION. incorrect e-footer or whatever. Does anybody KNOW how this is caused? Why are files not being copied bit for bit?
I want to say first that I have done a fairly thorough search of your archives to no avail. That is because most related threads are *****ing about the threads or the personalities involved along with mixtures of real and perceived breaches of this sites code of conduct and etiquette in general. I am not interested in any of that. Neither do I want to hear from the guy who danced widdershins round a cauldron waving his phone in the air telling me it fixed it for him. Please, can somebody that knows reply? Once I know the why I hope to fix it with a binary file editor. If somebody knows the why and the "how to fix" even better.
many thanks

We have device sections for a reason. Each device has its own quirks, requirements, and problems. It's important for you to post in the right place because then you'll be able to get assistance from people who are familiar with your device and those quirks, requirements, and problems that come with it. There's Q&A section for your phone, that's where you need to be addressing the problem you're having. I'm not moderating you, I'm trying to help you get the help you need. Posting in the wrong device section isn't going to achieve that. If you drive a Ford you wouldn't post in a VW forum for help, the same logic applies here.

[Q] Bootloop One with no access to FastBoot

So I received my One a couple of weeks ago. This week, I received the OTA 38R update. The phone was great for about 6 hours until I was listening to a podcast and it reboots. It goes into the bootloop and so I go to the internet to look for options on how to fix it. I found the instructions for going into fastboot and running the command which is supposed to fix. Unfortunately, I can't get into fastboot on my phone. Also, I haven't replaced the recovery with TWRP. So am I SOL now? Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!

How are you attempting to get into fastboot mode? Can you get into the stock recovery?
Transmitted via Bacon

I appreciate the reply. I've got it fixed now. I was using the volume up + power. I guess I just wasn't holding it long enough. Once I got it in fast boot, I used a guide from here to replace the recovery with twrp and them, using another guide, I installed The Franco kernel and mahdi ROM on the advice from a friend of mine that's currently at the android BBQ in tx. So it appears to be MUCH more responsive and stable than 38r lol.
Again, thanks for the reply!

Cool, glad you got it sorted.

I am having the bootloop issue too, it does that after the "CM lockscreen has stopped" message. After you replace the recovery with TWRP, did you lose all the files in the internal storage?

Sad to say I did... Luckily pictures were the only thing I cared about and they had been backed up to Google. Good luck!

What guide did you used? All I find require acces to android....

Hi Pawer8. I'll see if I can find it and post it back in here.

Hi pawer8. Here is the thread I used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2879061
You'll have to read through and you may need to make a few jumps based on any prior experience you have with rooting android and the like.
Good luck!

thank you!!!
no root experience though....

It works perfectly. No need to change rom or anything, just do the persist part

[Q] Locked Bootloader and no recovery =No hope??

G'day guys,
I was trying to install a custom recovery after unlocking the bootloader and something horribly went wrong
during the install, phone seemed to hang, gave it a good amount of time to do it stuff but nothing happend.
Didn't think much of it as i thought i could just start again with the install, but had no joy. Then somehow in
my panic i have managed to lock the bootloader again really making it difficult to do anything.
As it stands at the moment, i can do the following with the phone.
Can get into the fastboot screen
Cannot get into recovery.
Will start normally and show the powered by android screen then will just sit there as if it was starting (which it doesn't)
I was using the following guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 for the process.
I must also stress that this isn't the 1st time i have tried to root android phones and have successfully rooted my S2,S3 and note 2.
That being said i have totally rooted this OPO.
I have spent the last 3 days basically reading any thread in this forum with the hope of reversing this cockup
and have tried many but to no avail. Basically road blocked i think by the locked bootloader.
The only thing i haven't tried yet is using a computer with Win xp as Win 7 is a pain in the arse for drivers.
Any of you guys got some idea whether this fixable or should i just give up and bin it? I don't want too and would love to be able to get
it back up running but this has really done my head in.
Cheers

Ah, that's a shame, the method I was thinking of won't work since that update. This is it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
It relies on you being able to boot a recovery as opposed to actually flashing it, and then flashing a script with that recovery. I'm 99.9% sure that you can't do that since the 38R update though. It's worth a try, connect your phone in fastboot mode and try to boot a recovery (the following command assumes that you have 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-bacon.img' in your fastboot folder).
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-bacon.img
Like I said, it probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.

Edit: After looking through some oneplus forums, looks like they have tried to issue out a patch for this issue. Have you tried this? I would try it out first and see if it helps. Again, the below one people were really bricked, hope it helps.
I haven't had to use this, and the thread is long, but a very good read. Please go to this thread. A lot of people were able to get their devices working again by using a few tools on windows machines xp win7 and win 8.1. Basically bricked device like the one you are looking at, then installing color OS somehow brought it back to life. The drivers are in chinese, but just clicking next gets them installed correctly. Mostly everyone there is in QHUSB_Bulk mode, not sure if you are or not, but worth a shot.

Hey, I got you. I had the exact same problem yesterday... It was infuriating.
So boot to TWRP, plug your phone into your computer, then in TWRP go to advanced and hit enable MTP. This should allow your computer to access the G3's files after you've connected it. If you can't, google for the LG PC drivers for your model (it's easy).
Here's the zip you need to place on your device:

The OTA bootloop was caused by the 5.0 Lollipop update. After using the fix from citizen insane it was clear that I was still on 4.4.2 KitKat. The phone quickly attempted to force me to update to lollipop again, so again I was forced to use citizen insane fix again, with the addition of shutting off OTA updates after the fix was completed through the hidden menus in the phone app. Then I quickly flashed Cyanogenmod 12 nightlies to avoid the dreaded OTA update yet again! What a pain in the ass, but on the bright side I absolutely love CM 12! My phone has never performed better. Thanks for everyone's help on XDA!

Hey Jaison does your picture messaging work after flashing CM12? Mine stopped working but texting and phone calls still work.

The first thing you need to do is get rid of the toolbox. Nothing but trouble. Plus, if you can't modify your phone without a toolbox you shouldn't be modifying it at all. Uninstall whatever drivers you have installed, reboot the PC, install these drivers, reboot PC again, connect phone, flash stock images (see section 8 of my guide thread).
Exactly how did your phone get into the boot loop?

I'm pretty sure you just got unlucky and had a corrupt persist partition, it's a bug that has happened to a few people, that particular automated flash tool flashes the stock images plus it flashes the persist partition. There isn't really anything you can do it avoid it, but i don't think I've seen it affect the same phone twice.

i might have to redo the process.
is there a way to find out which one it is?

The only real way to find out would be to start fresh and introduce apps one at a time to see which one is the culprit. But I'd be surprised if an app was causing this.

I did the whole process 2 times. the phone works fine for a few days and now its stuck in the boot loop again. I have already contacted OPO support, but waiting for them to get back to me.
any solutions in the mean time?

Did you install your apps again or is this still happening without them?

i installed them one at a time. its all the usual apps. nothing special. the phone worked fine until today morning.

I think you'll need to talk to OnePlus support about this, it doesn't seem right especially after using their own reflash tool.

the OPO support cannot seem to fix the issue. they have asked me to send them the phone back and i might get a replacement.
the issue is, I'm in Australia. the nearest location I can ship to is HK. There's going to be a long wait for my replacement to arrive. any other solutions?

I've gone through any potential solution that I know of. I'm in Australia too, it sucks, but we took a risk when buying this phone that something like this might happen.
