Help to install custom recovery - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

People, this is my last ditch effort posting here butI am now at a loss.
I have a Tab 2 10.1 P5110 and have followed a number of guides with no sucess. I have tried to install both TWRP AND CWM but the recovery already installed on the tablet chucks error messages but no explanations that are helpful. Most detailed error message I have is "Failed signature verification."
It appears I can Boot to ODIN and using Odin 3.09 send the tar file OK but when rebooting tablet no recovery has installed. Anothe rheadache is the downloads named GT-P5110_CWM are all seen as virus infected.
Any help would be appreciated here..
Thank you

Well, you could try these methods:
a.) Install TWRP using an app. This requires you to be rooted. First, install the twrp app through the play store. Then select install twrp and choose your model number and twrp version. Grant root access and install. After that, it will ask you to boot to recovery. Press ok. Congrats, you have twrp.
b.) Install through odin. Download Odin, and the tar file of twrp. Uncheck auto reboot in odin. Then flash the twrp tar in odin. After that, reboot to recovery (manually. If you dont, stock recovery will over write twrp. Booting to recovery prevents that and makes twrp permanent)
Press thanks if I helped
Also, the reason why it says signature verification failed is that stock recovery will only allow samsung signed files to install. Twrp and cwm? Out of the question
Cheers

Thank you for your reply. Using your method a, I managed to install twrp 3.0.2.6. I attempted to flash blismallow custom ROM but this failed immediately with the message "updater process ended with error 7". I then tried CM12 but same problem. After more reading I'm thinking could this be because my TWRP version is the new common version and the ROMS I am trying to flash are too old ? Thank you again

OK update.... Downloaded the latest cm13 to test my theory, seems to be booting as I type this so fingers crossed. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Good to know its working for you. Also if you take a look at andi34.github.io 's twrp section, it says it cant flash roms made prior to 22/03/2016.
Also, don't say thanks, press the thanks button instead it helps a lot

[Q] In the middle of the root/unlock process... Need some help

Hi everyone. After 5 months, I decided to come back and try to root my phone again.
First, I'm on JB 4.1.2 with my VZW GS3.
I get to this step in the process.... Step 4 - Rooting Your Device and Unlocking Your Bootloader and every option I choose, tells me that the signature failed and the installation is aborted. Can someone tell me what I did wrong, if it can be fixed, and how?
I was once rooted before, and went back to stock using ODIN in the past. Will that have an effect on it?
When I got to Step 3, I used these instructions: •Flash the VRALEC Bootchain using ODIN v3.07 - My phone shows VRBMB1 - should I have used that boot chain instead? Can I still flash it using ODIN, over what is already there?
I can get my phone to boot normally, but when it boots it just shows custom at the bottom. I haven't bricked it or anything, I'm just concerned I haven't messed up the root process all together.
Thanks for the help...
Did you choose to install the zip in recovery or did you pick a different option? First make sure your zip is good and you didn't get a bad download. You can flash the VRALEC Bootchain whenever, and you must do it before flashing your recovery. If installing your zip isn't working in CWM try installing TWRP and flash the zip on that recovery instead. And no restoring back to stock with Odin won't affect anything.

I chose to install the zip in recovery, and I did it after flashing my recovery.
Can I install TWRP using ODIN, right over the CWM installation? Will it hurt anything?
Thanks for your help!!

Here's what I did:
1. Booted into ODIN, Flashed VARELC
2. Booted into ODIN again, Flashed Recovery (following ALL directions exactly) Pulled battery, put back in, went back into ODIN
3. Attempted to install the Update -> Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader (showed FIXED in the file name)
4. Got this process: finding update package, opening update package, verifying package, signature verification failed, Installation Aborted.

Yeah you're doing everything right I don't know why it's saying that. Try installing with TWRP - you can flash it at anytime and overwrite the old recovery.

Your second and third step are wrong. You need to flash SuperSU in recovery NOT download mode. Download mode handles "tar" files, recovery handles "zips."
Edit: well, the latter half of your second step is wrong, pull battery then boot into recovery mode...home, volume UP, and power

I'm sorry, I am doing the supers in recovery, not ODIN. I tried both CWM now and TWRP and still have the same exact error messages. Not sure what to do to fix this, but I'm almost ready to try to reverse what I did. I have been wanting to remove the bloatware and now I saw the Carbon ROM that looks pretty cool. If you can get me past this issue, it would be great.
Oh I just noticed you chose update. You have to choose to install in CWM not update. But if it didn't work in TWRP either it sounds like there is something wrong with the zip file. Have you tried redownloading the zip file?

Here is another interesting thing....
Should I have an install or is Apply Update the same thing. When I boot into recovery, here are my choices:
reboot
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
apply update from cache
Do I have the right version of recovery? Does this help any?
Ok. So I decided to download a new recovery file for CWM and this time it worked.
I'm not sure what told me to do it, but I decided to give it a go.
Next question, I remember the root processing being very involved with clearing cache, clearing dalvik cache, etc.
Is there a link to the newest process on how to root exactly and apply new ROMs? I of course will be backing up my existing ROM first.

That's odd someone else had that issue where install wasn't an option. He ended up using TWRP. That clearing thing is for flashing roms. The way you flash every rom is wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, and wipe /system. Make a backup before. I recommend using TWRP cause there have been times in CWM where I would try to restore and I would get an MD5 mismatch error, which I've never gotten on TWRP

I was thinking of using the carbon ROM. I realized that I didn't install the md5 file extension for cwm using ODIN so I went back and flashed it with one i was able to find, and it worked. I'm ok with using twrp but I haven't been able to find an md5 file for ODIN. Can you give me a link to one? I've only found .tar files and that seems to have been my problem. I might still try to use cwm now that I have my existing stock ROM backed up. Still debating.
On a side note, if I decide to unroot again, since I have not flashed, is there a method for that so I don't lose what I've got?

What do you mean you can't find the md5? You can flash the .tar twrp recovery in Odin the same way you flash md5s. And no sorry I don't know of any way to unroot without flashing a factory image. But to get your apps back you can use App Backup and Restore. It won't recover the app data obviously cause you need root for that but it's faster for restoring your apps so you don't have to make a list and download each one off the Play Store.
The file I had used didn't have an md5 filename and I think that's why it failed. I found one and downloaded it so it worked for me after that. Thank you for the unroot info too.

How to [ROOT] 4.3 19505GUEUBMH1 Google Play Edition I9505G

Hey Everyone
This is a quick and easy tutorial on how to root your Google Play Edition Galaxy S IV I9505G that was updated to 4.3 JWR66V. I noticed that the old method was not working even while trying to update from Google Play
Once again thanks to CHAINFIRE, and TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT
I have tested and rooted my own device using this method.
1. Download Odin 3.07 and the Samsung USB drivers if you don't have them
2. Download the SuperSU attachment put it on your phones sdcard and the TWRP recovery attachment at the bottom of the post
3. Unlock your Bootloder ( power off phone, hold volume down and volume up and the power till you boot into bootloader.
4. In ADB type fastboot oem unlock ( please note this will wipe your device)
5. Once your booted up power off your phone and boot into Download mode
6. Flash the I9505 CFAUTO ROOT package HERE, it will not have the binaries yet you will update those in 7,8. (Unzip CF Auto Root package and flash the Auto Root .tar file from the Odin 1.85 program inside that zip.
7. Next Open up Odin and put the recovery.tar file in the PDA slot ( only AUTO REBOOT is checked ) press start
8. Once recovery is installed boot into TWRP and install the Update SuperSU zip file that you put on your sdcard to update the binaries
That's it you rooted 4.3
im getting a fail message
followed step bye step
the original CFAUTO ROOT. am i flashing that with stock recovery or odin???

When you install the CF Auto Root I9505 package and you open up SuperSU it will say "SU Binaries not installed" when you try to open it up. After that you install the TWRP recovery and install the Update-SuperSU from TWRP to update the binaries and then you get Root

I followed your directions on my i9505g 4.3 through step 8 and the phone is stuck in TWRP recovery. It will not reboot into system, only into recovery.
Is it possible to do this without using TWRP? With 4.2.2 I'd just Odin the auto-root and it would prompt to update the binaries on reboot. Would that not work with this too? Or is there more that's different here?
Is it possible to go back to stock recovery after everything is done or are we supposed to stay on TWRP?
This thread is closed we are consolidating everything here

It is. I keep getting a "no MD5 file not found" message
Make sure you're on the latest version of TWRP. I believe it ends in ".1".
Otherwise just use CWM instead. You can install that with a free app called Flashify very easily.

Easiest way is to restore with odin
then using Casual All in one
Root, Flash Insecure aboot
go to google play download Rom manager then install CWM
or try just download rom manager then install CWM replace TWRP
Problem is I'm still in TWRP recovery, as I've been unsuccessful with flashing any ROM (so far). Do I need to have an operating system installed in order to install CWM?

[Q] Help using CWM!

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks
I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?
Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:

Here you can get stock ROM :

Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Ok, sorry, I forgot to give an update during the weekend (and sorry, I was interested... but I didn't have time to give the update ) :
1.- I wanted to get CWM 5 and I tried to reboot, but I got that bootloop (I anyways wanted the CWM 6.0.4.5 version because I heard it is better)
2.- I finally got the stock rom using Sammobile.
3.- I flashed the stock rom to get rid of that annoying bootloop.
4.- I got CWM 5 with Odin
6.- Updated CWM to the 6.0.4.5 version.
7.-I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.4 version
I actually was able to get into recovery mode, but the thing is that I didn't know how to get into it... lol
I am doing this as an experimet because I don't use the Fit as a phone, so... what should I do next?
Anyways; thank you all for your help, ahmetakin and johnny.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.

Bootloop after reinstalling cyanogenmod

Good afternoon, (although it is here in Holland)
After updating my cyanogen to a new nightline version the tablet didn't start up anymore. But I still could acces clockworkmod recovery mode. First I downloaded a new version of cynogenmod and placed it on a external sd-card and tried to install it (within clockwork). That didn't work cause I received the "status 7" error. After that I tried to transfer the ROM-file using ADB (adb push.....) and the result was again a status 7 error. Even when I deleted the first lines that should cause the error (the updater-scripte) *(yes I do have the correct version). In the end of this horrorstory I typed in ADB restart bootloader or something like that and the system rebooted in download-mode. The screen displayed downloading,, please don't shut down or something alike. I didn't touch the tablet for several minutes but than my patience reached it limit and pressed the power button to restart. But now I can't acces neither the download mode nor the recovery mode.
What can I do or should I do? I believe that I should flash the whole thing again by using Odin or Heimdall? IMO my opinion that means first reinstalling clockworkmod on the machine.
For the new nightlies you need a cwm version. > 6.0.4.4

Thank you. So I should install a new recovery.. Is that the same as clockworkmod?
My idea is the following. Starting again from the first block by flashing a new clockworkmod recovery on the device. The problem is dat I now can't acces bootloader and/or recovery modus.

Somehow I can acces download mode again. Haven't tried recovery so far. I now want to flash a new recovery (CWM) on the device by using Odin. But when I download the correct CMW version for my galaxy tab 2 10.1 (5110) it seems the file is corrupt. Even when I download other versions they all seem to be corrupt. What I am doing wrong??
I somehow can enter download-mode again. Didn't try if I also can enter recovery mode. I want to flash a new CWM on the device using Odin. But when I download my CMW version for the Galaxy tab 10.1. But when I try to open the file. They are all corrupted ??? Windows sees it as a .img file.

So my first question; do you have a custom recovery on your tablet? Second question; can you get into recovery? If yes to both, then get into recovery, flash the new recovery zip, then restart your recovery under the advanced option. You should then have the newest recovery (yes, I realize how redundant it sounds to use recovery to update recovery, but this is the process on my phone, so don't why it would be different here).

Yes, I do have a custom recovery on my tablet and question 2: No I can't
I am trying to flash a new recovery on my device using Odin. In the download mode Odin is also stated in red. (ODIN Mode, productname GT_P5110, Custom binary download: Yes (1 count), custom binary: custom.
But when I download the zipped recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-p5110 file. I can't open the file using Winzip or Winrar. It should contain a .tar file??
With a small program called "tarmaker" I converted the IMG file to a tar file so I could use it within Odin. I loaded the tar file in the {AP} box and pressed start. I still can't load the machine into recovery mode. :crying: But When I now go into dowload-mode (Odin-mode) the custom binary downlaod has changed to 3. Probally because already 1 was installed and I tried to reflash it two times
Okay bro, here is the method I used to root my Tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535083
I'm not sure if you have a wifi only version, the 7" or the 10.1", but, the first time I tried to root I used this method which put me into custom recovery. I screwed up and didn't press the "disable stock recovery" option and couldn't get back into custom recovery. So I hooked it back up, went into odin, redid the process. It put me back into the custom recovery at which point I disabled the stock recovery and success! So basically, according to odin, I rooted twice but have had zero problems. I'm not sure if this will work or even help you, but it's worth a shot. I used the Philz P5110 zip (I have the 5113). If this doesn't work, then I would suggest seeing if I Android-Andi can help, the dude knows his stuff...

Oh, and just so you know, my version of the Tab does not have the bootloader to worry about. For all I know that could be were the issue lies...

I made it... Almost I finally have a CMW working again. The difference with my previous tries was that I now unchecked "F-reset Times" in Odin. But when I try to upload a new version of Cyanogenmod using ADB push "filename.zip" /sd I dont get any results when I want to install the zip. (No files found).
The counter in Download (ODIN Mode) is now 5 counts (Custom binary download: Yes 5 counts). Should that make any difference?
No, flash count shouldn't affect anything. The counter on my phone is probably huge! Ha! Have you tried flashing CM through recovery?

Yes I did. Ha! But when I try to upload the file by using ADB no files are found when I go to install from SDcard. When I go to mounts and storage and I press mount /sd card. Nothing happens. I wonder if i should repartition the SD card somehow. (I have red something about it) Would that help?
I'm trying to install Jellybean, and I put the .zip file on my phone via USB before rebooting into recovery. When I press "choose zip from sdcard" it says No files found.
I even tried the following command:
adb push ./bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed.zip /sdcard
But it still says no files found.
I'm using a Galaxy nexus, which doesn't use a sdcard, only internal memory so maybe I am doing something wrong.
My phone is currently bricked and won't boot, so the only thing I can do is use recovery mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
Tried unmounting and remounting everything, and it worked.

This is what I mean. But I can't mount or unmount my sdcard. Or it seems there doesn't happen anything.
When I try to sideload a rom, wherin I deleted the lines in the updater-script what should fix the status 7 error, I still get a status 7 error.
When trying to push the ROM using ADB, No Files Found appaears when pressing install from sdcard.. Whaa! But when I push the files it seems that are transferred correctly:
C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-too
ls>adb push goedddd.zip /sd
adb server is out of date. killing...

Any ideas?
I don't know how but I fixed it! The tablet suddenly turned of and when I plugged it into the charger and tried to start it, it suddenly started booting Cyanogenmod. Crazy! I now have a stable version installed (10,1). But now I still have to install Gapps on my tablet. But now I can't access CWM anymore, neither downloadmode. Crazy again. Maybe it is because my battery is low on fuel.
