Hi, I've got a little problem, yesterday I tried to flash Omni ROM and I somehow managed to brick my device. Before I was running on android 4.1.2 with root, downgraded from 4.4.2.. Once I downgraded the android, the device couldn't be recognized by PC, so anytime I try to connect my tablet to PC it just gives me "USB not recognized" message. So, flashing ROMs via ODIN is impossible. (Tried to install/uninstall Kies & drivers many times, aswell as changing ports)
Also, because I'm a genius I have stock recovery on my tablet (Android system recovery <3e>). Which is another problem because whenever I try to flash any .zip file from external SD it gives me following message: "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" (2×) and "E: signature verification failed". I tried to flash stock ROM, which didn't worked, and a few custom ROMs such as Cyanogen mod. None of these worked and I ended up with the same error message.
On top of that, it seems that previous ROM is gone, because Recovery mode won't load /system & /data folders. Is there even a way how to save my Note? If there is, I'll be more than happy, and very thankful if somebody helps me.
#Edit 1
I can still transfer files from PC to SD card that's in the device. However, this doesn't seem to be very helpful since I can't disable that file verification.

Hi everyone, so i bricked my phone after rooting it and trying new ROM. Unfortunately i'm a noob and didnt make a backup before.. So now the phone is on loop mode and basically i've tried almost every guide that is out there to unbrick it, still no luck
It gives me installation aborted error message and even if the installation of new rom succeeds, it still keeps on looping :S
Is there a way unbricking it or should i use it as a hammer from now on..
Any help is appreciated, tnx!
EDIT: Maybe it helps to answer, if i write what i've done so far and describe the problem.
It's on the loop mode, which means it doesnt go further than the screen with green htc text. I can bootload and hit recovery with pressing power and down button on same time. Before Fastboot, recovery, factory sheet, simlock and image crc it tells sd checking and "no image". PB31IMG.zip is also on the sdcard and have tried to install that, still abort message..
I've tried with update.zip file, it gives me following error and the end:
file_getprop: failed to stat ''/system/build.prop'' no such file or directory
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted.
Wiped cache, data and etc
Disabled signature verification
Tried with RUU, turned off unnessecary programs, disabled firewall and antivirus.
It gives error [170]:usb connection error.
Yes usb is connected to the pc and phone.
Phone has Revolutionary cwm
HBOOT-1.49.1187

What else should i try ? I certanly can't think of anything
Fixed it myself after a 2 day marathon..
1. Put PG86IMG.zip and Virtuous_shooter-v.1.0.1 file on the sdcard..
2. Rebooted to recovery, PG86IMG image started the update.
3. Deleted the zip file from card and rebooted again.
4. Installed Virtuous_Shooter zip file and it started to update system and booted itself
Thats it!
Worked for me
PG86IMG should work almost every time.

Hi guys -- new to this phone, which i bought unlocked and rooted.
I tried to flash CM 11, and had the zip files on the external sd. When installing the ROM, I get a set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in .......d2vzwzip (Status 7) Installation aborted error. (Are you only supposed to install from internal SD?)
I now can't get past the Recovery 6.0.1.2 touch interface, and have no backups. I also can't get my phone to connect to PC via USB, even after installing Samsung drivers. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, but any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I had a similar issue. I cannot flash cm11 because i got a flash error "E:....". I tried latest TWRP and CWM touch/non touch still didn't work. to fix the bootloop i had to flash with odin. even after that can't flash cm11. I have grown to much dislike the sgs3. TW is so clunky and slow.
Hello all.
I'm sorry to bother you, but i've been stuck for 3 days, trying to work around my Samsung Young and the Root process.
I've tried all software that exists, without any success.
Used Odin to flash the CWM (which is the problem that i have), Framaroot, and many exploit sw.
The question is that i'm trying to root the phone. However, when using the recovery mode (CWM) and try to update it, using SD Card, it gives me the "E: unknown volume for path".
When tried to use Odin, in the download mode, i got the error on phone screen "signature verification failed".
So, is there any other option to update the Samsung, root it and install superuser?
I would like some help, please.
Thank you
hi all,
i have a problem with my xperia l. here's the story :
originally, i have xl with cm12 installed + re-partitioned internal (i'm using this guide), but i have stability issue after some time. then i tried resurrect remix rom, but i still have my problem (even worsen). so i was thinking about checking with stock rom, and i tried to flash stock rom back. but there's a error when processing userdata.sin on first try. i thought my tft was corrupted, so i tried to re-download it and tried flashing again, but the error still there.
after third attempts, the error message started to differ (forgot to log it ). so i tried to get into recovery, but i found error about "failed to mount /cache", "failed to mount /system" and so on. i have tried to mount manually in recovery menu, but failed, and sdcard read 0mb.
i have tried to solve by myself and some solution from forums, and still got no luck with it. what i have tried :
- trying to re-flashing tft again and again. latest error when processing loader.sin :
ERROR - (X10flash.java:520) - Error in processHeader : 22 : The device does not recognize the command.
- trying some recovery like cwm, thunderzap, twrp (i tried after read this post), but no luck and can't find restore filesystem menu).
- trying accessing adb, can't get in
- finally able to get into terminal from twrp, but only found parent folder without anything inside.
so, i think the partitions are damaged or something happened to them and i can't access them.
please help.... :crying:
NB. currently boot into fastboot, flashmode, recovery, charging, led, flashing boot.img, and external sdcard still working, so i hope my xl still can be saved :angel:. and i'm sorry for any typo
UPDATE :
finally hardbricked my phone. i'm getting impatient waiting some reply and no luck searching forum. so i messing around by myself, and found problem on superblock. i've fixed superblock once on linux, but in adb some commands are unavailable, and i can't search for backup superblock, so i tried to reformatted it (followed guide from some nexus forum, well, thinking androids have same base), and then i accidentally disconnect the usb. next is, well, i screamed.
Did you find any solution of this problem????
So I got a hold of a retail G930x and was successfully able to install TWRP and factory reset with a stock image, only problem was that I never turned off the FRP lock, and when the phone was restarted while updating SuperSU my recovery was blocked. OK, no problem, just flash a stock ROM through Odin mode right? Well for some reason G930AATT1APB5, and G930FXXU1APB4, do not seem to work. At one point I was able to partialy boot into the stock recovery, but at another flash attempt my computer blue screened and I received the error message "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software", but Smart Switch returns an error message of "Device Not Supported". I can still boot into Download mode and attempt flashes, but I can't seem to find a working ROM for this phone or a solution to the stock Recovery issue (which is most likely corrupted by now). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
edit:
edit: so I flashed a recovery image file from ROM.G93xF.XXU1DQFM-v18.0.by.ambasadii.zip and was able to get to the stock recover screen. Unfortunately i get an error message saying "Failed to mount E: /system (Invalid Argument)
Update from external storage is disabled.
