Hi, so i ran in to some problems and questions while fixing my girlfriends galaxy s duos (GT-S7562).
I wanted to install a debloated firmware/root the device to uninstall bloatware because it got dead slowly in the last few weaks.
some info:
AP: S7562XXALJ4
CP: S7562XXLJ3
CSC: S7562ATOALH1
free handset bought in Austria
First of all I followed this guide.
I installed the clockwork recovery first, but when booting into it I don't get the usual backup option I normaly found on my older android devices.
When I try to root it i get error "failed to verify whole-file signature" and "signature verification failed".
Last I wanted to ask what roms are possible to install on my device,
fyi: KyleOPEN ROM says it needs XXBMD6 Base rom
but how can I get this Base rom? or is it impossible for me to flash this rom?
any help/explanation would be appreciated!

The XXBMD6 base ROM is available here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just input your phones model number into the device search and download the one with the matching PDA file end.
For the recovery issues, some recoveries are different based on the devices capabilities but overall most options like install.zip and nandroid backups should be available.
To flash the base ROM use odin and flash as if you're returning to stock then follow the guide.
And there are many ROMs available for your device, there's a list in the thread you posted
thanks for your answer, so I just have to flash any of the XXBMD6 roms over my XXALJ4 (I guess this is the PDA file end you're talking about)?
after this I am able to install mentioned KyleOPEN ROM?
sorry I'm almost new in this topic (last android phone was a htc legend, forgot everything)
edit: the problem with the recovery was that it switched back to stock recovery itself, found the workaround with renaming the install_recovery

Please forgive me English is very bad，Use odin brush into recovery, then root
Changing Baseband

Hey this is my first time posting - I have a rooted Rogers Samsung Captivate i897 that I upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.4 in November (with an AT&T based ROM). I am trying to upgrade the firmware to the new ICS 4.0.3 that is now available for this model as I am looking for something new.
So, I did some research and followed the directions that were posted (got ROM Manager, downloaded nightly .zip files & GApps). I then tried to back up my ROM using ROM manager (didn't work but thats OK I have the ROM file on my PC). And did the factory restore/cache wipe and tried to flash the .zip files from my SD and it didn't work.
Here is what it says when I try to flash:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
Question 1) What could be causing this error?
Question 2) Should I try to flash a stock ROM first before attempting to flash ICS?
Question 3) do I really need to use ROM Manager?? Is there another method available (flashing from PC from Odin)?
I am hesitant about doing this on the fly because when I updated to Gingerbread in November I had a good scare with my phone - soft bricked it, fixed that, and then got it stuck in a boot loop, then had issues with boot logo conflict between Rogers a AT&T. I was out of a phone for about a day working madly to fix it. I would like to avoid it again at all cost.
Phone Information:
Firmware Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I897UCKH3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKH3-CL461307
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH3
Please help I appreciate it!!
Hello you brilliant people! I haven't been on here in some time. I recently move to China and brought along my Galaxy S3 i-535. It's been some time since I've worked with flashing custom ROMs and never tried it on the S3 until I came here. I am able to root, unlock the boot loader, and install CWM. However, whenever I try and flash any ROM I get the ever infuriating (Status 7) assert. Meaning that I have the incorrect ROM, correct? But I have double, triple, and quadruple checked and I have the correct ROM. Here are the pertinent details:
=============================================================
-Samsung Galaxy S3 I-535
-Originally a Verizon phone (Screw VZW!)
-Currently on the ChinaMobile network with a Chinese SIM card
-CWM v6.0.2.3
-And I'm currently on Android 4.1.2
-Baseband Ver.: I535VRBMB1
-Kernal Ver.: 3.0.31-861013 (not sure if useful, but maybe)
=============================================================
Here is the my specific question. ##Could I be receiving the Status 7 assert due to the different SIM card/network??##
I've tried removing the assert from the updater-script file, but no luck. I changed almost a year ago, so the old SIM card is long lost and finding a VZW SIM here would be nearly impossible.
I believe my CWM version is new enough.
If this is the case, any suggestions on where to go next? Any developer/website that would work with China Mobile is in Chinese, and my Chinese is VERY poor.
I need to update my phone to receive data, so they say, but I'm not sure how high I have to update. I was trying to avoid 4.3 because of the locked bootloader. But I think I can find a ROM for 4.3 or 4.4 that doesn't force me to take the locked boot loader? Am I correct in my thinking. Yes I have been researching, I just want to make sure I'm right.
Any useful assistance will be rewarded with my endless gratitude and kind thoughts!!!
You want to upgrade your CWM to 6.0.4.5 then flash your roms from there. If you're using Rom Manager, you can upgrade from within the app itself. Alternatively, you can download the CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery IMG file from the official CWM website, download "Flashify" from the Play Store then install the CWM 6.0.4.5. recovery img file using Flashify.
WOot woot!!!!

Hi Experts,
I want to upgrade my samsung galaxy note GT-N7000.
After reading on how to install custom rom to N7000. I tried one of the way to install the Custom Rom using Install from Zip using SD card.
Steps i have performed to install custom rom are mentioned below:
1. I have install one app to root my phone.
2. Checked with the help of MD5File checkup to confirm that my phone is rooted or not and found that my phone has been rooted.
3. I have gone to developer option and checked USB Debugging.
4. I have not installed any backup tool for the current recovery.
5. i have copied the N7000 CWM Nightly rom which is for KitKat, but it failed in the verification and errored with Status 7.
6. Then with some other roms its failing in status 6.
8. At last one rom Slimsaber got passed in the verification and removed the current rom but while installing or mounting its rom it failed....(This action is performed using Install using Zip from SD Card)
Result was that my phone got hung on the logo. But some how i managed to installed one korean rom on the phone which was having a older version i.e. 4.0.3 and its update was not available so i got my phone updated with the stock rom of 4.1.2 version from samsung store. So now its back to where i have started
Query:
1. Is that the reason i have not installed a custom recovery tool for the existing rom in case the new rom fails (I have missed 4th point: Is there any best app that backup for current stock rom)
Request:
1. Can you guys please tell me which is the ROM that works for N7000 India version for Kitkat and Lollipop(If available)
2. Please suggest the rom that works with Odin because i have bad exp with installing from SDcard. If possible please provide a link for that tar file.
Really appreciate your support and thanks in advance.

You should install/flash a custom recovery and make a complete system (nandroid) backup directly in the custom recovery.
There are some other apps, which can create an Online Nandorid backup (just check Play store), but some apps are not compatible with all devices and to restore such a backup, you will need a custom (CWM or TWRP) recovery anyway.
To get best advices about custom recovery, ROMs, etc. for your device, please ask in the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [FAQ] [Q&A] [Noob Friendly] HELP THREAD - POST ALL YOUR SUPPORT QUESTIONS HERE thread.
P.S.: To install/flash a custom ROM provided as zip file, you usually need a custom recovery. Stock recovery only flashed signed zip file (e.g. official OTA update files from Samsung).
Thread closed and thank you.
hi
i have recently rooted my phone Samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500, android 5.0.1) using CF auto root and i think there is no custom rom or recovary.
As per thread these are installed after rooting
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Today i tried to delete system apps mentioned in a thread in this forum. Now after restarting phone shows this message - " Android is upgrading " and i keep getting message saying unfortunately " ____ " app has stopped. Phone screen is blank. i can't do anything.
I think now i need to flash a new ROM using Odin. I don't have any prior experience in flashing ROM.
Can somebody help me in this.
from my limited knowledge i thin i should do following things
1)install CWM recovary first and
2) then flash a Custom Rom
Please provide a solution to my problem with link to download files
thank you

Hello,
i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G9200 with Stock G9200ZCU2DQC1 on it. I already unlocked Bootloader with original Samsung C Rom. I bought SVA Rom from Valerie and to install his Rom i should install G9200ZHU2DQB1 which gives me an System check failure: Bootloader Error on Odin.
Tried it even with the Bootloaders chinese Version. Installed TWRP but when i try to install the SVA ROM it fails because of Zip Signature incorrect.
Anyone an idea what to do? Already asked Valery but he seems to busy to answer.
Kind regards
