Hey guys, I have a problem
I am somewhat experienced in hacking my phone, I was a previous Droid 1, and Droid Bionic owner. I just rooted my S3 today, I downloaded ROM Manager, flashed the CWM Recovery, rebooted and I get this message that says "Secure Fail: Kernel" at the top, and "System software not authorized by VZW has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest store for help." I'm not really sure what to do at this point, any help would be appreciated.

What 4g screen? What root method did you use?
You need to odin back to stock, then root your phone again. The newer methods don't always successfully unlock your Bootloader, so you may have to do it manually.
Download ez unlock version 1.2 from a website, then open it and verify it says unlocked. If it says unknown or locked, then hit the unlock button.
Then flash your recovery just like you did before and everything will work properly.

Yes, but if you're on 4.0.4 you might want to take the ota then root.
Or you can use the rootdebug method, it's an old rooting method but will work if you're on ics.

Either way is fine, but I'd most likely take an ota update then use beans casual method.
Rom choice is all personal preference, read all the threads and look for the features you'd want. Most of the roms are very good.

This is just the Grouper KRT16S OTA package from Google. Bugfixes, 1.4Mb in size. ZIP file attached. I am not your tech support to get ADB working on you laptop or why your Nexus 7 does weird things after installing so don't be surprised if I ignore questions that can be answered by searching.
Original file name:
3aad414bf97cede8ecbc2027597e7f01bfe1ce47.signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O.3aad414b.zip
If you are stock and want to update from KRT16O then just drop the zip into your adb folder and sideload it in recovery:
Code:
adb sideload signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O-3aad414b.zip
Help this helps someone.

I have a question. If this can be side loaded to recovery and I assume you mean twrp or cwm why can't it just be down loaded to device and flashed through recovery? Maybe I just don't understand what you mean by sideloaded. Thanks if you reply and if not I read the op and thanks for this

I didn't update via TWRP! I get the update OTA! Also I have unlocked BL, Root and TWRP.
If you didn't get it via OTA you can sideload the Zip from Post #1.

The stock recovery does not look for a zip on the device without a command file telling it there is one present to flash.

I believe the stock recovery will be installed with the update? but you can always reinstall TWRP with flashify......
What folder was this update downloaded too?

The OTA process works with TWRP but reloads stock recovery AND removes root. No problem getting both back through the usual methods.

I'm going to say some things not to be mean or rude but to keep you out of trouble. It is not installing because you do not know what you are doing and have not taken the initiative to learn some basics for yourself. Except for the fact you are not on the correct ROM to install this update in the first place, I would say losing root and TWRP would be the best thing for now.
You are going screw up your device and have no idea how to fix it yourself or even what information to provide for others to help you fix it. Your best bet would to be restoring to stock with a factory image and not screw around until you are up to speed.
There are ton of FAQ's and guides on this site in the general sections. Learn how to install and use ADB and fastboot. Read up on the different types up zip files and how they are installed. If you are using a one click, understand what ADB or fastboot commands are going on behind the scenes and exactly what it is pushing to your device.
Once you have a general understanding of things, please come and play around as much as you want. If you do something that causes a bootloop you will at least know how to recover your device.

A 5.4Mb recovery is not going to fit in a 1.4Mb zip file. Also see post 3, 4 and 8. Root and TWRP or CWM will remain intact. Bad information is worse than no information.

Not trying to give bad info just relating my personal experience. You are correct that a full recovery image file at 5.4mb could not fit, even zipped, in a 1.4mb update, however, a full recovery image file is not needed to change the behavior of things. Root and the ability to boot back into TWRP were lost during my update process. It was easily corrected but it did happen. Others have reported a different experience. That was mine.
A good scientist reports ALL observations and reserves judgement until a complete data set is established.
Whenever superSu asks for permission to run a root app my screen becomes unresponsive. Timer runs out and i am not able to apply grant permission. Help. This didnt use to happen when i was earlier rooted with towelroot. Right now also i ised towelroot
Have you tried re-flashing the supersu zip?

Yes. Didnt work.
Btw by reflash the zip file you mean reinstall it from pkay store, right?
Pardon the ignorance. Just found out that flashing a zip file and installing apps from play store are 2 different things.
Well my bootloader is locked and neither do i have a custom recovery installed. So flashing doesnt seem to be an option right now.. If i am not missing anything.
Are you running 5.0? If so how the heck did you root with towelroot? AFAIK you can not root 5.0 that way. Maybe that is a problem.

You need to flash the supersu zip using fastboot:
teamandroid. com/2014/06/19/root-nexus-5-android-444-ktu84p-kitkat/2/ (you're going to have to fix that link because I have under 10 posts so the forum won't let me post..)
Additionally you need to have an unlocked bootloader

To get root again either flash the latest CF Auto Root in fastboot or flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery or flash a pre-rooted custom rom in a custom recovery.
I am running stock, latest stage fright update with stock recovery and s-off. I would like to try the GPE rom, what are the steps I need to flash this rom? I have read the thread but still need a little guidance. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/rom-vzw-stock-gpe-5-1-lmy47o-h9-t3212413
Just as the instructions state:
Install: TWRP custom recovery is recommended
1. Reboot to TWRP custom recovery
2. Wipe/Factory reset if coming from another ROM
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy, First boot will take 5 to 10 minutes
You may want to flash a sense ROM first and get a lock on GPS, some people have had an issue with GPS on GPE ROM, however I didn't have this issue, but I did come from a Sense ROM.
You are already on Sense ROM, so just do a lock on GPS, make sure it works, then go ahead, flash custom recovery TWRP, download the ROM of choice, reboot to recovery, wipe, flash ROM.

You don't need root to install custom recovery.. Just S-OFF.
have you looked at the TWRP thread?
You need to know how to use adb and fastboot
Reboot to fastboot
Put custom twrp.img in adb folder
Run cmd:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img
A little research goes along way..
Google and searching is your friend.

More than welcome. If need anymore help let me know. :good:
So, long story short, I mistakely deleted EVERYTHING from my G3. I can still get into TWRP, but that is about it. I thought I could load a flashable zip file onto an external sd card and flash an os through TWRP, but that doesn't seem to be working. Do I need to use adb to sideload through TWRP? Any body done this before?
Thanks
