CWM 5.0.2.8 Question

I installed AntonX's SGS4G Kernel with a Twist v1.1.3 which includes CWM. At first CWM was red (which I understand is the latest version. Then today I booted into CWM and the text was light blue. It still said v5.2.0.8 but I just thought it was weird. Did something go wrong or anything?
Also tried to flash a modded GB ROM and it came back with this:
ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-AntonX.1.1.3.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/SGS4G Development/ROMs/ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-AntonX.1.1.3.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
Any help?
Thanks.

Something got messed up. Kernel 1.13 includes cwm blue. Was that the error you got when you were trying to install a different rom?

Could be a bad download, but you might also want to just keep the zip file in the root of the sdcard.
CWM might have a problem with that directory with a space in it! (not unix friendly!)

Your so smart bhundven I didn't even think about the directory.

Oh I didn't know 1.1.3 comes with CWM blue. Because I had AntonX's previous kernel (same kernel, previous version) and it had the red CWM, which I thought was the latest and/or best CWM (even though I'm pretty sure both are v5.0.2.8). Not true (that red is better)?
But no that's not the error I got, it was this:
ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.1.3.zip

That's what CWM said when I tried to flash the ROM.

Ok, so you are on the newer 1.1.3? or you are still having problems flashing.
Like I said before, directory names with spaces in them are bad. This is why cwm is failing to open the zip file.
Please either, change the space to an underscore '_' or move the zip file to the root of the sdcard.

Good call, I was thinking that might have something to do with it.

[Q]GT5110 - How can I flash an OTA zip package?

Hello,
I need some help with installing an OTA zip package.
It's this one from Samfirmware.

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
But I get an error while flashing it with Mobile Odin.
Code:
Checking ZIP file ...
Verifying system files ...
10 out of 581 system files do not match the signature checks in
OTA ZIP. Disable the checks (may prevent the device from
booting) ?
Then I press continue and I get the next error
Code:
assert failed: getprop
and many more but the tab reboots
I've also got the correct firmware installed. As you can see on this screenshot

from my experience with OTA flashing on p3100 i think you need to first flash the stock base rom as mentioned in thread and then from the stock recovery flash the OTA which should have been saved on the ext sd card, after flashing wipe data (factory reset) in recovery
or try latest version of MO

You should flash the stock ROM and boot into recovery, than flash the ota update. It doesn't work if you install clock recovery mod or you root. Only in stock ROM

[Q] Cannot install the new OTA

Hello, I got a notification that the new OTA update was available for the OPO. So I downloaded it and clicked on install, the phone rebooted and it began normally with the icon of installing the update, but on the first quarter it rebooted to the Cyanogenmod simple recovery and showed an error which I will type here. Furthermore it's worth mentioning that I rooted my phone, with TWRP.
The error:

you just simply copy your OTA .zip file from your phone into the PC and than you can edit all the files as mentioned in link
I did it myself and works fine

Cannot complete OTA update

I own Idol 3 (4.7) 6039Y and for some time now i cannot upgrade my phone with the new system update i have available (5.0.2 - 010 06 currently running 5.0.2 - 01002). My bootloader is not locked, and i don't have TWRP or any custom recovery installed. Whenever i try to update i download the update and the phone powers down to install it but the it gets stuck at about 35-40% and reboots and tries to upgrade again. After several tries i get the following message:

Your aboot partition has unexpected contents. The safest solution is to use the mobile q software from alcatel's website to restore your device to full factory status and then attempt the update. Here's a way to limit the pain.....if you backup your current rom via twrp after mobile q does the restore to fix your aboot you can flash twrp back and restore your previous rom. The aboot is not a partition changed by a twrp backup or restore.

I forgot to mention that i have tried all the options i have the all possible drivers installed and when i try to use the Mobile Q Software it gets stuck sometimes at 5%, sometimes at 20%. I tried using the 4.8.2 version, 4.9.2 version and the latest 5.0.0 version but no progress. Also tried to upgrade it as Pixi 3 (i think i read something, somewhere about that option) but it doesn't work.

Latest version is 5.0.9. I suggest you try it before giving up. You can't pick pixi inside the program....on the website picking pixi got you a newer version of the software at the time......the only other solution is to get someone on the same phone to backup their aboot,hyp,spl1, rpm and tz partitions and you flash them....these partitions need to stay in sync....I'm assuming you restored your fastboot commands at some point as its the only way I could think your aboot would be modified.

Question Stuck in Download Mode: Error verifying vbmeta image

Hey there,
I have a problem with my A52 (SM-A525F/DS): It doesn't boot anymore, as it is stuck in the Download mode, showing the error message: "Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)"
Steps that lead to this:
LineageOS is installed. After installation of a software update, Magisk lost its root. So I tried to install an alternative recovery (TWRP) with Odin. Odin said "Pass", but now this error message occurs.
What can I do now to make the phone work again? Install the Stock ROM?
Would you please help me with this issue? Thank you so much.

Thank you and please excuse my stupidity.

@Simon1511, it worked, thanks again.
As this was inititally my problem: Is there a way to use LineageOS with Magisk and install Updates without losing the root access?

Not automatically. You would have to reflash magisk every time you install an OTA.

Thanks for your answer. I'm curious: Why doesn't it work anymore? It works with older phones like the Samsung A5 2017.

The problem is encryption. On the A5 2017 the Magisk re-install script would run after installing an OTA and would install itself again. But since encryption is enabled by default on newer phones (such as the A52) it doesn't work/behave correctly.
I'm fairly sure though it's an issue with Magisk and not with the ROM.
