some symlinks failed error - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Custom roms is not working, showing me some symlinks failed error. I had taken backup of stock rom but somehow its not working, booting me into recovery mode.
Any help guys??
Thanks

Which recovery are you using? Install latest version of CWM/TWRP. Wipe everything or google "superwipe for pico" it is a flashable zip file which wipes every partition. Then try to install a fresh build. Hit thanks if it solves your problem.

Recovery verified failed ??

Hello A510 owners,
After playing with patching google store using lucky patcher, my tablet start to bootloop...I was on Piccolo Rom,so I just flashed the rom again (wiped everything that could be wiped), but didn't worked, still bootloop...So I said to myself, let's make a fresh and clean install and get back to stock. I've download a stock rom, put it on my external SD Card and flashed it in CWN. I got a warning like I won't have recovery anymore after flashing but accept anyway, and start to flash...Tablet reboot and this is what I get :
Code:
erasing cache before sd update
SD update cmd : recovery
--update_package=SDCARD : update.zip
booting recovery kernel image
[COLOR="Red"]Recovery verified failed[/COLOR]
Then, I tried many stock rom I could find on the internet, still same error. I even tried with removing first line of the updater-script, nothing work...and I can't use adb anymore to push cwn again.
Any idea ? I really need help here ! :crying:
I guess u might flash the stock n still kept the cwm, so u can't enter the cwm anymore 'coz the bootloader was locked back.
Maybe u can try to unlock first, or u can consider to rewrite the recovery partition.
Rename update.zip to something different, CMW may not accept "command line" flashing.
Anyway if you can boot CMW (rename update.zip first!)
a) wipe dalvik-cache (under Advanced) and try to boot
b)if this fails- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
THX guys, I don't know how but I just format everything and reinstall cwn+rom, and it worked... I just lose all my datas on sdcard:'(

Thank you for your reply.
Does TWRP Recovery on Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915T as same as N915S, can I can use it ?
Since I cannot find the N915S version in XDA, thanks.
Try this... Go to recovery... Wipe cache.. Then wipe Davlk cache... The wipe both cache and Davlk cache together.. Then go and try mounting cache again..
edit: Sorry I am way too tired.. I just noticed your problem is system... Yes use TWRP recovery.. I found its best to flash it first as recovery on a fresh root. See is you can mount system in it.. Most have a problem with mounting cache at this stage... If system works and cache becomes the problem use my suggestion... Once all happy them flash CWM as your recovery. Hope this helps.
Edit 2.0... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2945942 This thread goes thru everything you need... if there is no TWRP for your devise there should be working alternative.
Yes, I have follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2945942 and re flash the auto CF and CWM, but the issues still not fix, root checker show the phone rooted, but still cannot mount the system and flash any custom rom
Thanks.

[GTab 2 7.0] Can't install custom 4.4.4 ROMs

I can't install custom ROMs on p3113
Steps Taken
Starting with stock firmware/recovery
using chainfire autoroot
reboot
use root checker to confirm root
Use Odin to flash a custom recovery. (I tried Andi's CWM, TWRP, and also Philz touch 6.40)
Custom recovery flashes no issues and I can boot into custom recovery
I do factory wipe, then also dalvik, and cache again for good measure
Go to install a custom ROM via recovery
Go to reboot and the recovery prompts me that I need root and to asks gives me an option to install su
When I do that and reboot it bootloops.
I've tried 3 different recoveries. The ROMs I've attempted to flash are Dhollmen 4..4.4, and Andi's Omnirom 4.4..4.
It appears I can install 5.x ROMs without issue.
Any idea what I can do to fix this problem?
edit: in the process of trying twrp 2.8.0.5
edit2: no luck with 2..8.0.5 which I found on Dhollmen's thread. Going go browse through the forum looking for older recoveries.
Have you tried clearing /system
Yes
Try updating your SU binary before the flash, also try plain jane CWM, Andis CWM acts weird sometimes.
If SU binary won't update delete and install a different one, then update.
Pp.
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic
Format /data
Format /system
Reboot recovery once
Flash rom.zip (don't flash anything else!)
Reboot into system, don't use "fix root"!
If it boots (Lollipop takes some time) your are good to go to flash gapps etc.

The only thing I wasn't doing was rebooting after wiping. Wiping then rebooting let me install the 4.4.4 ROMs no problem. I never would have figured this out thanks a lot. What causes the need to reboot after wiping?
@HappyRoot good to hear.
Seems like one of the partition wasn't unmount by the updater-script or recovery after wipe and caused that issue.

It only worked with installing SlimKat/Dhollmen I'm still unable to install Omni 4.4.4. I've done a complete wipe Odin'd twrp 2.8.4.1 and flash the zip via adb sideload. I keep getting an updater binary error.
update: twrp would crash at 37% and give me a binary error. when i odin'd updated cwm from you android file list i was able to get to 100% but then i would get a status 6 error.
Then you are doing something wrong...

SuperMan-Rom V1.8.1 Aroma - AP will not boot (integrity verification failed)

SuperMan-Rom V1.8.1 Aroma - AP will not boot (integrity verification failed)
On My S7 edge, thought I'd give it another go at trying to root since this rom claims to be almost stock with an option to get rid of all the samsung rubbish (like s-voice) that you don't use ever.
Followed all the steps to root, ON STOCK OS, entered developer mode, allowed OEM, allowed USB debugging, turn off verify installs by USB abd. Now It seems the phone is prepped and ready to go.
Flashed TWRP with latest ODIN 3.11, made a backup of stock OS, back in download mode and flashed required bootloader and modem (BL and CP), boot again into recovery to flash AP (SuperMan-Rom_SM-G93XF_V1.8.1.zip). Went through all the process and it seems fine until 1st boot.
***Every try is showing "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."***
Have I Done something wrong to be showing this error every time????
I had the same error message. The cause was that my device was encrypted. TWRP can't handle encryption on the S7 yet. Reboot into TWRP and look at the logs. If it says it couldn't mount /data, then this is probably the same issue I had.
To fix it, I restored the backup OS from TWRP, made a backup of all apps and data to external SD using Titanium Backup and wiped the encrypted partition in TWRP (which removes the encryption and all data). There may be better ways, but this one worked for me.
@Davebnly You need to take backup of the Internal Storage data and then do a wipe using TWRP, Since TWRP cannot handle the Samsung's Encryption the only way to bypass this is by formatting again. This is already mentioned in the Official TWRP Installation post here.
I have this same error after flashing a custom ROM. I did not take a backup of the old stock ROM as it's a new phone and I didn't think I needed to!
Can anyone tell me, if I flash the stock ROM will it let me into the device again?
Is there anyway to wipe the encrypted drive without installing stock ROM?
*UPDATE: I just logged into recovery and did a factory reset and it loaded the custom ROM. Not as lengthy a solution as I expected!

Hi, I'm sorry but what does all that mean? Reboot to recovery??? The only option on my phone is the button to RESET DEVICE and I have two weeks worth of photos and videos that I have not backed up yet! Please help!!! FYI, I have the same exact message telling me to erase all my data because I need to reset my device. Nooo, I am so scared right now.

Failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument) in Micromax Canvas Juice 2. Aq5001.

I have a custom rom downloaded. But to flash it, I need to erase everything. That I am unable to do because the recovery dosent wipe data. It led to a bootloop. I got back the stock firmware and tried again and same result. Further more, I cant even factory reset. I'm using TWRP 3.0. Someone please help!

Ive tried that 4 times till now. It has been in a bootloop thrice. And I flashed stock. I currently am using stock firmware but want to flash the custom rom. The recovery is failing to wipe data because it is failing to mount data.

7. Select format type.
8. Swipe to change.
9. Select repair.
there is one problem with stock rom. its encrypts the data partition right after installing stock rom, therefore twrp can't access data partition. i had similar problem earlier. this is how i managed to fix.
solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67980158&postcount=7
i suggest you to stick with stock rom, because right now whatever roms or recoveries are made for this phone are blindly ported (just copy paste roms). i have tried about 3-4 roms for this phone, all had major bugs especially battery related. there is only one developer who made a stable rom so far is beingtejas, search his thread. if you really want to use a custom rom, try THIS rom made by gaurav kesarwani with help of beingtejas that is why i am suggesting it you otherwise it didn't worked for me atleast.
