Hello Guys,
This evening I decided to root my phone and install Jelly Beans ROM for Samsung Verizon Galaxy S4, I began by rooting my phone using Towelroot, everything was great so far. Then I tried to install a CWm Recovery but I failed doing that, I followed a youtube video but I kept getting "loki aboot version does not match device".
I read somewhere else that I could use Safestrap as recovery, I followed all the instructions installed busybox etc...
I finally went into recovery mode and Installed Jely Beans V7. The installer ran fine and I followed all the options the installation finished and it was time to reboot, I hit reboot and the phone never came back.
All I see now is a Samsung boot screen with an unlocked padlock in the bottom, the phone keeps rebooting and I had a hard time getting into recovery, when I finally did it seems like a different recovery and only gives me the options to apply updates and to wipe data.
The android robot is dead with a red triangle.
Please help what can I do???
I take it you missed the part that you can only flash non-touchwiz roms & cwm on phones with an mdk bootloader?
Plenty of threads on here on how to fix this, I'm on my phone otherwise I'd post links

Thanks, and yes I guess i missed that part, I am still learning.
If you or any body can please post a link on how to fix it, it would be great.
Thanks!

To make matter worst now I have a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I've tried Kies but it does not recognize my phone, I cannot do anything anymore.
Please help it is my only phone and I need it bad.
Thanks

You have flash the same firmware you had before you started.
Do you know what build you were on?

Hello,
I just flashed my wifi gtab 10.1 with the stock touchwiz ux rom via odin from the development thread.
Now, whenever i start the download mode on my tab, following is coming up:
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=733&d=1304696743
The shown one here is from a S2, but I get exactly the same screen with my gtab.
Before I flashed it via odin this screen wasn't there and I got directly into download mode.
Even restoring the normal stock rom or installing cwm didn't remove it.
Am I the only one with this warning screen and is it possible to remove it again?
Thanks in advance.
So nobody knows something about this? That's sad. =/
Edit: Sorry for double posting, wanted to edit.
its nothing much
just means you've flashed a ROM
So it's absolutely normal that this warning screen will pop up everytime I start the download mode from now, because I flashed a ROM one time?
Also, there is no way to remove it?
Thanks so far.
on the Galaxy S II you can either get a usb jig or do that flash/reflash trick but on the Tab i dont think there's anything yet. but hey thats no big deal !
....DELETE
No, I think it came with the latest official ROM. I just got my tab the other day, brand new. The firmware on it is XXKG8. I haven't added anything, and as I said, it's new.
I get that message before download mode. I have been actually hesitating to root it because of this, thinking that they have added some sort of counter like on the SGS2.
So this is not the result of adding a rom, it appears on brand new retail tabs as well, it seems.
So from what I gather, nothing happens when you press the yes button to go into download mode after you see that message?

That is normal, no need to worry about it. I got the same warning once I performed the 11MB update on my UEKG4 build. I have a feeling that warning was "borrowed" from vanilla 3.2, anyone with a Xoom tablet on 3.2 please let us know. Did you had an unlocked bootloader on your tablet (lockpad)?

Because if you did, the update locked your bootloader unfortunately. Still, there is no biggie on that also... Personally, I don't care if it locks the bootloader, as long I can flash the tablet with CWM. That means I can flash a custom ROM, kernel and also root. It makes no difference to have a locked or unlocked bootloader, unless you want to flash something that needs a different bootloader (i.e. Tabuntu).
Hi there Guys, i recently upgraded from my old galaxy to the new Galaxy S2. I've got CWM (something called Android System Recovery 3e), and its also rooted.
However, I am not able to flash any custom rom... I tried several ROMs, but none works. The error code i get is:
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
Installation aborted

Also, while getting into the Recovery thing, i noticed in one of the line, it shows:
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am not sure if thts something to look into.
I did a search through all the forums... but was not able to find any solution. I tried going back to stock rom and then trying it again.. however, it still not worked. Getting the same error msg.
Can anyone help me out....???
I am too desperate to move to a custom ROM.
Rite now I am at:
Android 2.3.4
Baseband: I777UCKH7
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
I suggest you go and read the sticky at the top of this board titled
ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips
and the links posted therein thoroughly then if your still having problems come back
I've done everything... I've gone through the stickies.
I tried getting back to stock rom, rooting it again, not using the ROM Manager, everything.
But everytime i get the same error.

It is not enough to just have root. Have you installed a "customize kernel with CWM?" It is step 3 (a, b, or c):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
If so, which kernel did you flash. 3a worked will for me using Entropy's DD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460
If using Mobile odin, just download the .tar option from Entropy's thread. Once that kernel is installed, then you can flash pretty much whatever you want.
christ, another one?

Be aware that Recovery 3e is NOT CWM, but rather it is the stock recovery tool that the phone ships with. You first need to flash a kernel that says "CWM" in the title. I recommend Entropy's Daily Drivers (link 2 posts above) to start with, since they are very stable, and you can at that point flash other kernels or ROMS.
you need to read, read and re-read before you break your phone

Thanks to everyone!!!
I've solved my issue. All I had to do was toggle the signature verification option. I disabled it and tried installing... and it worked fine.
Really really thanks for bearing one more newbie
Ok so this may have been posted before but I've been searching and can't find anything.
So I got my note 2 when they released and I did the first "root" method available which I think was odin. Not really root with a custom recovery however I don't think. See the following screenshot to see what I'm currently running. Its been fine until now so I never re flashed anything or install twrp or anything.

Lately its been running slow so I want to fully root and install something along the lines of the latest Clean Rom. I had cleanrom on my Rezound and I love his roms.
Only reason I'm making this thread is because I'm not sure where to start because I don't think I'm stock yet I'm not "really" rooted.
Dont want to mess up my device.
Thanks!!

Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.
stary by reading the stickies.
Yea I believe I'm still on the stock recovery.

Hi guys. First post to the forum, been lurking for years, just registered.
I recently updated my phone with the update that Samsung kept bothering me about every 2 hours or so. And It has messed my phone up, it's slow, it drags. It doesn't even show the clock on my lock screen without thinking about it for about 10 seconds. Train wreck.
I've rooted, installed custom recovery, and loaded custom roms on my Galaxy S i9000 and on my grouper Nexus 7. I kinda get how all this works, I'm not a total newb, but with this phone I am at a dead end and i've tried everything I know, and a bunch more tricks I learned here and nothing is working.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3: Canadian (Bell) version SGH-I747M, supposedly the same as the S3 AT&T,

I had to use zadig to replace my drivers for Heimdall
Heimdall will sucessfully flash clockwork recovery, but it refuses to install my CM rom. I haven't tried any other roms, but from what I've read in the forum here, it doesn't seem to matter what rom you use, it just wont do it.
I get Assert, bootloader errors when trying to install from zip in Clockwork Recovery. tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41503727
and it does not work. Odin just says "FAILED" right away.
I thought maybe if I just rooted the phone first, I could at least flash a custom recovery and not have it over written everytime I boot.
I tried CF-AutoRoot, Odin says success, but nothing changes on my phone.
I tried OneClickRoot which worked wonders on my GS i9000 back in the day. No success.
I have tried CM Installer to do it automated, It says success, but no change.
People have reported that Knox may be the problem, but as far as I can tell I don't have it on my phone.
I've been working on this for a day and a half and all I've managed to do is factory reset my phone about 12 times. I need help.. I don't know what to do. Has anybody managed to root their phone or install a custom recovery or rom with a GS3 running 4.4?

Wrong forum myfriend post your question here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att <<
I would like to install LineageOS 14.1 on my S4 but I can't get TWRP to install. I'm running the new VRSGPL1 build and have it rooted. Also tried to install TRWP on rooted OF1 but couldn't make it work. I started with a completely reset and wiped phone each time. I used Wondershare to root, unlock the bootloader, and install SuperSU. I then try to use the official TWRP app to install. It says it succeeded but after reboot, I get the message that the phone didn't start correctly and that i need to use the Verizon tool to repair. I've tried MANY different methods to make it work so i'm at the end of my rope. I'm hoping one of you Gurus out there can help. Thanks.

You can only use Flashfire (v.53 or lower with this device) with a locked bootloader. You can't install TWRP or any other custom recovery. Don't keep trying because you will brick your phone.
PS- Wondershare nor any other tool (available now at least) will unlock your bootloader on this device.

Doesn't it mean the bootloader is unlocked if i get the screen with Samsung and an unlocked lock on boot?

No that means you're rooted
Ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I installed Flashfire. I tried v .52 first and it wouldn't start up so i uninstalled and installed v .53. It starts up and lets me choose my zip files to flash. I click on flash and it starts the process giving me the screen loading files then goes blank. I've tried changing different settings but i still get the blank screen. Any ideas?
