recovery: error validating footer. (0) - Samsung Galaxy A30s Questions & Answers

hi, today i tried to install twrp on my phone but i got an error written in the attached image, any help?

Mmm, do they mean the AVB0 footer on the recovery image?
How did you flash the TWRP?
Was what you wrote as big as the partition?

So, how big was the file that you flashed?
If what you flashed is smaller than the partition then the old AVB0 footer from the stock recovery is there.
That wouldn't agree with the position of the new AVB0 header for TWRP.
Or maybe you're supposed to defeat AVB somewhere?

the file weighs 50 kb (I don't know what to do because it's the first time I enter the world of modding)

@gerryscottiano instead of asking this question in a new thread, it would be a better idea to ask in the thread where you got TWRP from.

Also, the TWRP image for this device is about 42MB, not 50KB.

i was wrong it is 50 mb, however i downloaded it on twrp official site

Sounds good so far, then you try to reboot into recovery?
What exact version of Odin, and where did you download it from?

when I try to reboot into recovery it gives me the error, the odin version is 3.14.4 and I installed it from here: https://samfw.com/Odin/Samfw.com_Odin3_v3.14.4.zip

AFAIK there is no 3.14.4, the latest Odin is 3.14.1.
I recommend you get rid of that and use the latest from this thread

Yes fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.

What is your bootloader version? It should be HHZ12h if you are running Android 5.1.1. It can create issues if you still have an old one.

I'm really curious what file you flashed to which partition, its awkward that you can't exactly remember what you did to make the phone beeing like this.
Just by the way: is your bootloader still unlocked?

If i update OOS by flashing the OOS zip , do I just install twrp image after I install oos, or the do i install the image and zip after a update?

Is there any Android 12 Stable GSI?

I got a Motorola G8 Power, and as far as I know, it will not get Android 12, so I was wondering if there is already any Android 12 stable GSI (because I doubt that there are any ROMS, and even less likely for this device).
Also, if I installed it, would I get any OTA updates? What about Google Play Services? Would it be better to just install a ROM like HavocOS (GSI) and wait for them to release the Android 12 update?
Thanks in advance.
Apparently now their is. Check https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-android12-gsi/grid?
Tell me how it goes!

It did not work for me. I just think that this has to do with Android 11, as I tried to install other ROMS and none of them worked. Well, one did, but it was stuck in a bootloop. I am planning on trying again, though.

Yes. You have to get the version that corresponds to your phone. For example, my Moto G8 Power is an ARM64 device, so I visited this website and downloaded this zip file containing the boot images, the system image and the vbmeta image.
