Well,i tried getting TWRP for this phone,and well,it worked. One hour later i reboot the phone to install a gsi and i get the error that "The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software". I tried getting the stock firmware,and well,i did get it,but for some reason i cant extract the "AP" tar,but all else works. So i tried to flash stock vbmeta,and well,i get a different error now,that the firmware mismatches some kind of key. and now i cant use the phone,unless i get stock recovert
and also i cant just flash the zip because im on linux and cant use odin
You can use Odin4 for Linux to flash back the stock firmware package. Your error is probably happening due to flashing a stock vbmeta img, you need a patched one in order to be able to run custom software in your phone.

i tried to put custom rom on sns but i decided to just keep it stock i want to put the original recovery that it came with so i can update in the future is it possible to update even if the bootloader is unlocked?
problem:i flashed an image but couldnt use adb with my pc.
is there a image where i can just use fastboot to flash without using adb? i was using a recovery that required me to use adb to erase some kind of sh? was stuck on that. so if theres a recovery thats doesnt need to use adb? i have a recovery but i cant flash a rom.
Are you still rooted ?
It is rooted.
If you are on stock rom already, then you can do a search using root explorer or like adao file manager for install-recovery and find it and return its name to install-recovery.sh I assume this is what you changed previously ALTHOUGH if you have CWM installed then you can probably ( and easier...ly ) just find the stock image of your phone and flash it. I just did this this morning to my phone actually..
the image for i9020T can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062777&highlight=stock+i9020t
some quick searching can probably find some other images for the different models.
once you flash one of those you may have to use fastboot to lock the bootloader back up.
"fastboot oem lock" command when connected to your phones bootloader
ive flash the zip but everything is still the same ive tried to flash with cwm v2.5.1.8 i thinks somehow this version of cwm doesnt work because i cant flash anything with this i also tried to look for install recovery.sh on adao file explorer but couldnt find it. if you can help me out would be very appreciated.
Pop out the batter of your device and tell me the model number i902......
What version of clockwork do you have?
you could try to download rom manager from the marketplace and use that to flash clockwork again. once you have done that try flashing the stock img for your model phone.. flashing zips from cwm should work.... although watch your screen when you do it see if it throws any errors
I rooted my phone temporarily with pie root for motorola devices:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/orig-development/root-4-4-x-pie-motorola-devices-t2771623
and on some post, it was written that we could flash custom recoveries with it using rashr. I flashed TWRP using rashr but is showed an error "hab check failed for recovery failed to validate recovery image", I ignored for that time but now, I can't use my device because of it. I downloaded an ota update for 4.4.4 and pressed install now, my phone shut down and then it tried to get into recovery and again this error, I selected Normal Powerup but, it would, after one or two minutes, again shut down to install the update. I wanted to know if there is a way to stop it and can I get stock recovery from anywhere to solve it??

you can get the right stock image of your phone here (non-GPE):
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
simply open the zip and look for the recovery.img file
then just put your device in bootloader mode and via
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can get your stock recovery and hopefully then your 4.4.4 update will work
Then you are lucky, that your phone is still not upgraded to 4.4.4.
Just download the factory image from the location as mentionend before and restore.
Now my personal advice:
Do not upgrade to 4.4.4. There is still no Factory image out there.
I am in that situation that my Phone does not boot and i have to reflash.
It is not possible to Downgrade to older Versions for the moment. At least not a clean solution.
So actually i and some others need a solution to make a phone out of their brick.
Hope the factory image will come quick, or at least a proper solution to Downgrade.

I didn't see any firmware matching my system version so I found a number matching my starting numbers in system update, and downloaded a random file with those results

review:
Ok so I accidentally flashed the wrong TWRP img file. Now I get booting error. Can I just use flashify or rashr to flash stock kdz file. No access to a computer at all. Please exain how to flash back to stock no PC. Also eligible for an OTA updat. Can I just allow it to update to current updated software? Will that put my factory recovery img back ? My phone e works fine I just don't have a recovery option. Rooted using kingroot and am on 5.1.1
I have my stock software file. But cannot find stock recovery file or I could just flash back to stock recovery Img file.
1. I need stock recovery file
2. If no stock recivery how can I flash the stock software file I have no PC?
3. Can I allow the OTA update? Will that fix my booting error?
No access to a PC where I'm at so I need a completely no PC fix guys.
4. Just so we're clear, my phone works just no recivery and now I want to return to stock. How do I do that with no PC?
Pls email me if you know as I don't get on here every day [email protected] you can pm as well. I just prefer email. That's all. Lol I will be happy with a fix either way. Lol
Edit:
Since I got no replies I figured I would change up my question to maybe make it easier to understand.
Does anyone know how to flash bootloader files in TWRP for a G955U?
Example:
-abl.elf/xbl.elf/tz.mbn/storsec.mbn/sec.dat/rpm.mbn/pmic.elf/NON-HLOS.bin/msadp.mbn/etc......
To their correct partitions
-sdd1 rpm/sdd2 tz/sdd3 hyp/sdd4 fsg/sdd5 sec/sdd6 pmic/sdd7 dsp/sdd8 abl/etc...
Phone usb port is dead and can't use download mode to flash. I have gotten a update.zip on PartyCyborg and tried to take it but fails when it gets to about 20% and give a "Single-SKU" error.
I have also tried to update with FlashFire after decompressing the lz4 files and it misses things like abl.elf and other bootloader files so after it's done installing the system just reboots with the standard Samsung splash and doesn't do anything, and since the usb doesn't work I can't flash with odin.
Does anyone now how to get the phone to update while being on a factory binary(used for root) and get to a stock rom with no usb.
I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.
Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.
I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.
Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!!

Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.
As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.
I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.
I have attatched the ODIN i use, its a 7zip file.
Thank you, after trying a few more things the twrp file you gave me worked. I now have a fully rooted s8!!!! Your a legend.
