I am trying to install Pacman ROM on my GS3, and I have found no solution to fixing it. Deleting the asserts and getprops will automatically abort the installation without an error code, and updating my bootloader has no effect either. Can someone tell me how to fix this, or give me a link to an answer?
i recently have come across the eror and i found out that it is due to wrong recovery
means you must have wrong version of clockworkmode. cwm,, make sure you running appropriate version and
make nandroid backup..before flashing or clicking any option coz it may end up in big mess..

Hi,
First time Android user and getting to grips with the whole flashing scene.
Have 1905 Factory unlocked model with 4.3 stock.
My network recently launched 4G but only mobiles bought from them directly recieved the OTA update to enable it.
I was getting frustrated with the battery life aswell so I decided to try install a custom rom - namely one of the google edition 4.4.2 ones.
I have the phone rooted,wiped etc but every time I try to install eitheir of the two custom builds I downloaded I get the "footer is wrong" message twice followed by verification failure. I have renamed the build to update.zip.
Am i missing something obvious here? Is it even possible?
Wrong footer

Clean it up with Odin by flashing NB1 or whatever compatible.
Good evening everyone,
is this the correct Forums part to post questions like this? If not, please tell me where to post, thanks!
As the title says, I bricked my phone. I rooted it some days ago and was trying to unroot it, by installing a stock rom. Since I didn't know how to get the correct Region code, I download a custom ROM which said "everywhere" and guess that was the mistake. I tried to flash it with ODIN, the same way I flashed the custom ROM back then, but ODIN showed an error (which I can't remember). So in the end I pulled the cable and now have an error upon start up which says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". Said software doesn't offer any emergency recovery function.
I can still boot into download mode. I tried to install the custom ROM again, but but ODIN doesn't recognize the phone.
What can I do to fix this? What additional information do you need to provide help?
I thank you in advance for all suggestions and wish you a nice evening!

I have the same problem.. what can i do?
I bought my phone with a modified ROM (Build number: NX589J_CNCommon_V210)
There are several issues with this build like:
- insane battery drain
- google play downloads not working
- notifications not working properly
I was thinking about installing a factory build like the CN 3.04 or CN 3.07 hoping it might have fixed some of the major issues but I don't know how. The phone has TWRP installed but when I try to install the original ROM I get an "Error 7" message. With a Workaround I found that suggests editing a "update-script" file I get rid of the previous error message but get a "invalid zip file" error instead.
I've been trying for several days now and searched the forums and Internet up and down. So if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Hello,
I want to update also to CN 3.07 oder CN 3.04.
- Can you post a fitting howto that fits for it?
- Is language EN and Google play store possible?
put Factory ROM on USB OTG
power off device
enter download mode
choose reboot to nubia emergency recovery
choose Language
choose Update Package
choose From OTG Device
select Factory ROM (work both with english & Chinese ROM)
Edit 3: TL;DR: This is appears to be an S8 exclusive error, it's shown in the recovery:
"Product device tree not found, couldn't verify firmware" or something like that. For solutions, please look that up.
So, I bought a bootlooping S8 in the hopes of fixing it.
Since OEM and FRP lock are on, I went with installing Samsung firmware on it, as installing a custom recovery at this point is not possible.
The default recovery wouldn't work, so I wasn't able to know which firmware exactly to flash, because I couldn't find out which model exactly I have bought.
I do not know the carrier of the device either, but it should be from some german provider.
All of the firmwares I tried just bootlooped, but the recovery works again, except for ADB, which is quite unfortunate, and I have no idea why it fails, the device shows up when I'm in the recovery menu, but as soon as I activate ADB, it's gone from the list of connected devices.
Combination firmwares sometimes show some turning gears animations, but then crash with some, thought often memory related, pretty random crash issue.
Another problem I am now facing is that in the process of trying to find a working firmware I now upgraded the devices "binary level"? (forgot what exactly it was called) to 6, so I can't flash any older firmware or combination firmware than 6, since downgrading isn't allowed.
I received the device with either binary level 1 oder 2.
My theory is that I don't have the right firmware, since I keep seeing dm-verity and license errors...
I am happy to provide logs if necessary.
The goal is to have an unlocked bootloader/ custom recovery.
I literally am going INSANE over this FRP blocking me from flashing TWRP and being done with this in under 10 minutes, please help :c
PS: Some random info attached
Edit 1: With the IMEI code i found while opening the phone I now know my model number: SM-G950FZKADBT.
Any tips for finding the PDA code of the originally installed system? Or finding a matching firmware?
Is this even neccesary? Why do official firmwares not work for me? :c
Edit 2: Somewhat solution: I think the only way to recover this device would be to find it's firmware, which is just NOT to be found...
So, until a miracle happens I'm gonna keep reading "Firmware is not valid" errors in the log
Did you look in samfrew.com ? ? ? I just grabbed a fw from there.
The dnld was loooong so I purchased a privilege for faster speed . . .
