I'm having some issues installing/flashing twrp on my Nexus 5. I have been trying to fastboot twrp but it doesn't work, it says it's successful but I don't have twrp. (know what I mean?) I then tried to sideload Superuser so then I can download twrp manager or flashify and install it through either one, but when I do I get an error saying:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I am out of options. I do have my bootloader unlocked if that matters.
After flashing twrp, are you booting directly into recovery from fastboot?
You can boot directly into TWRP without flashing it, with
Code:
fastboot boot <your image>.img
Does that make any difference?

I tried flashing Kitkat from 4.3 using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot method and after rebooting, my phone didn't start and is stuck in recovery mode, not the CWM i had previously installed, just the default Android system Recovery, tried wiping everything but no success.
I have x1032 with 4.3 rooted and bootloader unlocked, also CWM installed now i don't know what to do, please help, how do i make my phone functional again?
thanks
edit: i can boot fastboot mode too but none of the options work, tried reflashing KitKat with the same method and this is what i've found
when i put ''mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin ''
it says
''(bootloader) preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)''
and the phone says ''version downgraded for primary_gpt''
then i get these error while putting the other commands
''hab check failed for boot''
''hab check failed for recovery''
''hab check failed for system''
''Invalid PIV signed system image''
Check the forum, it's all there.

try to flash zip using twrp 3.0.2.0
Hi. My device had a virus rom, and there was no way i could clean it. So i tried to install twrp and new android. But while i was updating in TWRP, it got stuck, and locked. Now i don't have any recovery or android.
My device is unlocked.
I tried installing TWRP 3.0.2 and 3.0.0 with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
After this it says ok. Then when i try to "fasboot boot twrp.img" it says,
booting...
FAILED (remote dtb not found)
I unlocked device with Xiaomi unlocker. But i'm stuck. Can someone help please?
Ok i solved it by installing twrp 3.1.
Hi,
I got quite a few issues with my phone.
1. Every time I use TRWP it shows me "Failed to mount '/version' (Invalid argument)"
2. If I try to flash an image via TWRP I get the message: "E:Cannot flash images to file systems"
3. I tried to flash the sys.img in Fastboot mode before, but I got the message: "FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)"
4. I tried to install a zip of lineage OS but got "ERROR: 7". I read somewhere that it was the wrong version...?
BTW: I DON'T want to install stock rom. I would appreciate having Lineage OS on it.
(Last OS was stock (EMUI 5, Android 7). No OS atm. )
Could someone please help me with it? I am just too inexperienced to do it myself ^^
Thanks in advance and sorry for your wasted time.
Yours
Elias
Problem occurred after I flashed with 9.3.1 Global Beta, which ended with "flash system error", unlocked BL and flashed in fastboot mode. Since then the bootloop begins.
I have access to:
Fastboot
Recovery (both TWRP 3.2.3.0 and Stock Recovery 3.0)
EDL - unauthorized (not test point)
My phone has Unlocked Bootloader officially, using the Mi-Unlock after waiting for 15 days.
It's less than a month old, never dropped it. I disabled Driver Signature Enforcement when flashing. I have the phone correctly recognized when in fastboot, EDL and recovery mode by my PC.
I have tried:
Flashing 10.2.2.0 Global in fastboot mode with MiFlash, finished without error
Flashing 9.3.1 Global Beta in fastboot mode with MiFlash, finished without error
Changing USB Port and cables
Flashing 10.2.2.0 Global in TWRP, finished with error Failed to mount '/persist' (invalid argument)
Flashing 9.3.1 Global Beta in TWRP, finished with error Failed to mount '/persist' (invalid argument)
Flashing in TWRP, putting the zip file thru adb push command
Flashing in TWRP, putting the zip file thru MicroSD Card
Erasing/Flashing persist.img thru adb command, with "error:FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Controlled Partitions"
Using "fastboot erase system" before flashing
Note: While in TWRP, even when I just boot into it, if I click the 3 lines at the bottom right (the opposite of the "back" button), it shows TWRP log and it would have:
Updating partitions (in white color)
Failed to mount '/persist' (invalid argument) (in red color)
The main problem now that makes me confused, is that the fact it flashed successfully without error in MiFlash, but then it bootloops. It doesn't reboot itself, just after the Mi logo with "Unlocked" on the bottom, then it changed to Mi logo with loading animation below with the white dots, then it stays like that..
Please help.. :'(
