Root G935F: I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 but I can't flash no-verity.

I am following this guide
I have flashed TWRP which I downloaded from here but now I am unable to flash the no-verity script. I don't have the option to install, I only see Apply update from SD card or ADB. When I tried to apply the no-verity script I got error messages and the install was aborted.
Also one thing I noticed is that I never received a message saying asking me to swipe right to allow system modifications when I flashed TWRP.
How do I flash the no-verity script and the SU script?
Also I want to mention that I did run the Wipe data/factory reset option before attempting to run the script.
Any help is appreciated!!
You are in the stock recovery. Reflash twrp in odin

Error when flashing hero2ltexx - Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/upda...'

I had some issues when trying to flash xposed and ended up formatting my data with TWRP.
After formatting data, I tried flashing root and xposed again. Xposed flashed fine, but root gave me an error. I thought it was because I hadn't gone through the system setup, so I went ahead and went through the setup and tried again but I'm getting the same error in TWRP.
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte'hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip'
What should I do?
Also, every time I boot in recovery now it asks me to swipe right as if it was the first time.
Thanks!
Bump. I haven't found a single solution to this on Google.
same problem here

You do not flash CF-Autoroot in TWRP. You extract the zip in Windows and Odin the tar file in order to obtain root.
My problem begins when installing "dm-verity and force encryption disabler". This are the errors it shows:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
Failed to mound 'data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
....
Unable to mount storage

Phone not accessable after trying to install Custom Rom

Hi,
so i've tried to root my phone and then to install a custom rom. the root went without any problem. After the root, i tried to install lineage OS 16.0 and followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3923203
i downloaded the rom and gapps, put them on my root directory of my phone and then i wiped System,Cache ,Data, Internal Storage and Format Data. After wiping, the roms were gone, so i rebooted and transfered them again into the root directory. Then, i went onto installing (just like i did with magisk) but an error occurred saying:
E: String resource 'zip_compatible_err' not found. Using default value.
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '....'
Updating partition details...
...done
Ok. So then, i tried to install another Custom Rom so i went for Oxygen OS, it actually did install but then i couldn't boot into it because it was telling me there was an 'Android System Error'. Ok, back in TWRP, i wiped everything and then i tried to install the Original ROM but i got the same error as above.
For now i tried to download the miFlasher tool but it only wants to download some driver and it literally takes forever.
Hope you can help me...

Those recoveries are old.. Use orange fox recovery 10.0-2 it will work and format data then install rom.
title?
@BlackGarnett
Thanks, that help me on a quick one!
@loseyourself
Also thank you for this advice, i'm new to rooting smartphones and install cfw since i was using iPhone for the past few years.
But now i got another new question: if i use orange fox recovery and i run a backup with it (i think there will be an option to do a backup), then i format all data and internal storage, can i still recover from the backup or will it be deleted?
thanks again!

Zips fail to install through twrp

HI!
So i have switch root following this guide ( https://team-xecuter.com/community/...ve-switch-on-the-same-sd-card-updated.132110/)
My issue is i don't seem to be able to install zips through twrp.
I get zip signature verification error, and then a message saying the zip is not installed.
My gapps installed just fine. but not shieldifier.zip, magisk, or joy con fixes.
i have tried re downloading the zips, clearing cache, as well as rebooting of course.
I am so lost.
Did you mount the relevant partition(s) before flashing ?
Also make sure yoiur flashable zips aren`t corrupt.

Can't install any GApps at all *fixed, see my post page 2*

I've made a couple of mistakes, so I decided to reinstall the original firmware to reset everything and have a fresh start:
I want Android 11 with Google apps. I'm following this:
When installing MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm-20220217_095902 or BiTGApps-arm-11.0.0-R20_signed.zip I'm getting:
Could not mount /mnt/system! Aborting
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
When installing open_gapps-arm-11.0 pico or nano I'm getting:
"Error 10: failed to set-up open gapps pre-bundled busybox"
When I want to repair System it says:
/sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-
Unable to repair System.
I am kind of stuck here, but I will try some more things.
I'm using:
twrp-3.6.2-jflte-20220620
lineage-18.1-20220707-nightly-jfltexx-signed

I have followed your steps:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
After that I still get "Error 10: failed to set-up open gapps pre-bundled busybox"

What recovery you u use?
Use the latest official twrp, redownload mindthegapps arm and try again.
If you still getting error try to flash the PIT file and try again by clean install steps.

I've found a pit file here, but getting installation errors:
PIT file GT-I9505

Maybe the problem is the TWRP I'm using. But I just tried another TWRP version and got the no touch problem...
I will try some other TWRP's...
Works, but doesn't install GApps:
twrp-3.6.2-jflte-20220620
No touch:
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-jflte.img
TWRP-JDCTeam-3.3.0-0-build1
I don't know what to do anymore. I'll try new things tomorrow.

Use this recovery.
You can find the PIT file in my Collection, read the note how to flash it.
Then proceed with clean install steps.
If you still getting the issue with mount, go in twrp menu press Mount and select System and then flash.

Yes I tried twrp-3.6.1_9-0-jflte.img but then I get the no touch problem.
I did the PIT flash, but still have the "Error 10: failed to set-up open gapps pre-bundled busybox" after installing open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20220215
When I'm in Mount, I select System, but can't start the flash, no button.
Right now, I'm just gonna test all the other TWRP's from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jflte/
No touch problem:
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-jflte.img
twrp-3.6.0_9-0-jflte.img
twrp-3.5.2_9-1-jflte.img
TWRP-JDCTeam-3.3.0-0-build1
The only TWRP working for me is:
twrp-3.6.2-jflte-20220620
I am 100% stuck again. I even tried installing a Note 7 custom rom but then I got the no touch problem while installing.
I don't know what to do anymore...
I prefer to have Android 11 with open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20220215
Should I throw away my phone and buy a new one?
I just tried to install Miui 8 on the phone but I got the following error:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
ERROR 7
Maybe this is caused cause I accidentally wiped Micro SD card earlier?
What can I do to fix my phone?

You tried to install ROMs from different device to your S4?
I don't know what you are doing but seems a mess.
I recommend you to flash PIT, Clean Install the latest Stock ROM/Firmware and latest Bootloader & Modem and then do Clean Install a Custom ROM.
You can find all the guides and latest links in my thread.

Reason I've tried that, because those are complete packages with GApps already in them. I used these:
OK, fresh start, I just did:
- Flashed PIT
- Clean installed stock ROM
- Installed Bootloader & Modem
- Installed TWRP
- Clean installed lineage-18.1-20220707-nightly-jfltexx-signed
- Installed open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20220215 then I got the error again:

If you wiped MicroSD then you can't fix it. You lost ur data there.
It may be also problem with SDcard or corrupted .zip.
Redownload MindTheGApps.zip
After wipes and format data move ur zips (rom and gapps) to Internal Storage instead of SDcard and try flashing from there.
