[HELP] How to install custom recovery mode on a tablet that doesn't boot and can't enable USB debugging - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have a really old Allview Viva i7G that I try to fix for not booting up.
I tried from recovery menu "Volume down + Power"
wipe data/factory reset​wipe cache partition​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no fix.
My dad has had it for 3 or 4 years and is not booting up. The last thing he remembers doing was an automatic system update and since then it appears "Allview" logo and it remains like this.
I found a stock ROM, entered recovery mode "Volume down + Power" then selected "apply upgrade from TF card, selected the .zip file and I get this error:
Verifying update package...
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I searched on the web, I saw a fid is installing TWRP but for installing TWRP I need to enable USB debugging, and I can't do that because the tabled is not booting up...
is there any way to fix this? Or did I download the wrong thing? I attached a screenshot with zip content
Thank you.

I think my software is not properly installed because while updating my pc was acting weird. I tried different key combinations: 0+Q, thats probably why's the phone is in recovery mode. Volume up + Volume down + Power Button, nothing did work.
Has any of you guys a solution to get my phone running again. I would really appreciate it!
Niels
Isn't there anyone out there with a solution? Or is the only way back to send it back to the factory with the risk of a high payment?
try updating again with a safer computer

can t mount /sdcard/update zip

So, here is an interesting problem I ran into. And I am sure it has been answered elsewhere. But my searches for keywords has turned up nothing.
I am running Android Revolution HD 3.2.1 and wanted to update to their new version (3.5). I have clockworkmod recovery flashed and am trying to use the update.zip i have downloaded. Problem is, when I boot into recovery (vol down + power then hit Vol up to select recovery), i cannot get the update.zip to apply. I keep getting the error "can't mount /sdcard/update zip" I have re-flashed recovery, checked the signature verification, and even mounted all areas. Nothing works. What can i do to fix this issue? Is there another recovery i need for my TF101? Thanks in advance.

[Solved]GT P3110 stuck in recovery mode, Not detected in ODIN, No APK recovery

I was trying a new ROM after installing mobile odin (pro) and superSu. However after failed installation the tab is restarting in recovery mode only ( screen shot attached). It is neither detected by odin nor can I install any apk as it is not booting further. I have wiped all data and caches and also have the recovery image (cwm and one supplied by mobile odin) but both are showing signature verification failed due to stock <3e>. So if somehow I can bypass the signature verification , I can load the backup. In short--
1. Tab not detected in PC ( via ODIN) , which was perfectly detected earlier. So no method via PC possible.
2. Tab not going beyond recovery mode, so no APK installation is possible.
3. It can read from SD card in recovery mode , but every image ( I know they are good, as used them earlier) is showing " Signature verification failed" and aborting.
4. I have a working CWM image but cannot install it due to reason 3 ( probably <3e> is the culprit).
I have searched the forum as far as I could but found all solutions are either PC based or APK based.
When you are in recovery, is the tab detected via adb from pc?

Signature verification fails because you are on stock recovery. Also have you tried booting in to download mode then plugging the USB cable to your tablet, then pressing volume up to start the download mode, then plugging the other end to your PC while odin is running? It should get detected
Power+ Vol up and Power + Vol down both are going to recovery mode. Plus getting an error 'logo_espresso7.jpg' draw failed at initial screen. Is there any <3e> compatable recovery without signature verification failed that can be run from sd card directly?
Ps: This happened when I tried to install "crdroid-5.1.1-20151103-p3110" via mobile ODIN pro.
The Tab is not detected in ADB server either.

The rom was meant to be installed with twrp or other custom recovery and not via mobile odin.

Yeah, the fault is mine, lack of knowledge. But what now? Can I recover my Tab ?
please help.
[Solved Problem]
The problem is solved. I finally could figure out that the culprit was the external volume down key ( not letting me go to download mode). So I opened the back cover as the last option and press the soft points corresponding to volume down and power together with two tooth-peaks. And voila , it issued the warning screen, and pressed up and it went to download mode. Connected with odin, flashed and load cwm recovery . Now that <3e> kernel is also gone.
Ps. It was weird about the Vol key behavior as it was working fine in both side in recovery mode during selection.

if you want to install the latest roms, you should update to the latest common twrp from android-andi http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html
cwm recovery is outdated and causing issues with the latest roms
Is twrp safe to run from mobile odin? Will it automatically overwrite installed cwm?

install twrp as zip with your current cwm. its the easiest way. twrp will replace cwm, yes.

Did I brick my phone by trying to install TWRP via Odin?

I'm on a G900W8 with the latest software update and I just tried to install the latest TWRP through Odin using download mode (vol up, home and power) and while it seemed like it worked it didn't actually and now I cannot get into download mode whatsoever. It just says "installing system update" which fails after a few seconds and sends me to "no command" screen.
If I hit vol up and power to get into the next menu it says
Code:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API:3
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to find /misc partition
The phone boots and I can use adb commands to "apply update from ADB" in the recovery menu but I can't figure out how I can use this to fix anything. I have tried factory reset which worked but it did not fix my issue I still cannot access download mode or figure out any way to install TWRP or even get my regular recovery working again..
Does Odin still detect it when it reaches the no command screen? I had the same thing happen to a Samsung tablet but Odin still detected it after the 'installing system update' message and I was able to do a stock firmware flash.

No it doesn't unfortunately my PC recognizes it but it says the device has malfunctioned and is not recognized. If I boot it up Odin will recognize it fine but I cannot install anything that way since the actual system is running at that point.
