Hello, I rooted my sm-900v verizon note 3, installed custom jellybeans rom successfully, then I was going to install hyperdrive booted safestrap and wiped everything on the phone, for some reason I had to restart my phone, now I cant get it to boot up, tried using the recovery mode to install either jelly beans or hyperthread,
I wipe the cache
Then I wipe data/factory reset
Then I choose apply update fron external storage
Choose the custom rom fronm the root of the sd card
And I get an E: signature verification failed
Also tried using odin mode and odin 3.09v to install, unzipped the file and tried to load into odin, cant find the md5 file, some please help!
I did do a TWRP back up, but TWRP is not loading at boot up, nothing is, please help!

I've had problems with my phone for a while now, no stable roms or mods, phone doesn't wake up from deep sleep, lagg....
So I got in to recovery mode (latest TWRP) a few hours ago and I got asked for a password? :S didn't know that TWRP had a protection function.. I pressed BACK and that was that, I got in to the menu and pressed INSTALL but the SDCARD was empty?
Using the filemanager in TWRP the internal SDCARD was still empty, but the microsd worked fine.
After rebooting the phone I got stuck on the sgs4 screen, so the rom didn't boot.
I went back to recovery and wiped everything possible and formatted the sdcard, afterward I installed a rom and rebooted.
Still the same problem, got stuck on the sgs4 screen.
In TWRP the sdcard was still empty. So I downloaded a odin flashable rom and flashed the phone through odin but got stuck at the same place.
I now have the stock recovery and when selecting "apply update from external storage", I get the error message:
"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)"
Is there any function in a TWRP/CWM or modded recovery that can fix the internal sdcard?
Or perhaps repartition everything?
Just to let everyone know, the flashing in odin and TWRP worked as usual, so the system/data etc partition as fine.
Guess it's the sdcard partition that's corrupted OR if TWRP somehow locked the sdcard because I didn't enter a password?
I could be wrong but then I'm completely clueless.
Appreciate some help, thanks!
EDIT: [SOLUTION]
Since there is no way to use adb in recoverymode or downloadmode (I wasn't able to), you need to use odin.
1. Enter download mode and flash a clean rom through odin.
2. Enter download mode again and flash TWRP through odin.
3. Wipe DATA through TWRP and reboot.
4. Factory Reset through TWRP and reboot.
5. Done.
Seems like this is the wrong place to ask, but I think I found the problem.
It was TWRP with their "password protection" that cause the problem.
Downgrading to other versions wont help as it did for others with the transformer pad.
I did a search for "TWRP PASSWORD" and it looks like TWRP has a bug.
This is what I get in TWRP:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
EUnMount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
This is definitely the last time I'll use TWRP.
When flashing CWM, I'm unable to boot into recovery, only works with TWRP..
I'll keep posting here until I solve this if anyone get the same problem.

In the link above, someone manage to fix their phone with the same problem I have, even though it's the nexus7.
So what I've learned is that I shouldn't let TWRP root my phone.
I need a system.img file, could it be just the system parititon? Don't know how to get that file, so could use some help.
EDIT:
I'm going to unpack a odin package, found a system.img.ext4 in there, guess that wont help so have to find one with stock filesystem.
Hi, I'm stuck in philz custom recovery (cwm) after trying to flash gpe 4.4.2 onto i9505 lte(uk) I rooted and installed cwm no problem. When I booted into recovery I wiped cache, dalvik etc then selected zip file from sd card. All was well then install failed error (status 7). I made a backup using rom manager and saved it to my external sd but cwm can't find the recovery file. How do I fix this. Any help would be much appreciated

Which Rom are you trying to flash?
I recently installed this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
I used TWRP recovery!

Usually status 7 is a problem with recovery-not sure which philz your using ? Try flashing this 1 & it should load ROM correctly
This is my second Samsung. I have put over a dozen different ROMs on my old Exhibit II 4G. Having said that, I realize many of you know more than I could ever hope to know. That is why I'm posting here. I have searched, but most of my searches take me to announcements of new CWM and TWRP recoveries.
I've had a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition for over a month and still did not have a nandroid backup, so last night I installed ClockworkMod ROM Manager with the intention of flashing CWM Recovery. The app did not list my phone, so I told it to show all devices, where I found the i9505 (I don't remember if it was the i9505g or not). I told it to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and selected the option that I had not yet flashed CWMR. I then used QuickBoot to reboot into recovery, where I performed my first nandroid to the microSD card.
When I rebooted after making that nandroid, it went right back to ClockworkMod Recovery. Subsequent reboots did the same thing. I could get into Odin mode with VolumeDown+Home+Power. Using Odin v3.09 I was able to flash the stock recovery. This did not resolve the boot-loop issue. Now it boots into the stock recovery, which is less functional than CWM. To me it is behaving as if the recovery tools were flashed to the /boot/ partition, or something is telling it to always boot from the recovery partition.
-In stock recovery, it will download ADB installations (from "apply update from ADB"), but every attempt fails it's signature verification. I have tried 6+ files, all have failed. I believe that the device has USB debugging enabled, but I cannot check while in this state.
-Stock recovery does not mount the microSD card, so I cannot install from there. CWM would mount the microSD card, but I did not think to try installs from the microSD at that time. Is it possible that I installed the wrong stock recovery?
-I do not know how to perform an ADB "push" with my phone in this state. To be honest, I have never done an ADB push. If I get to that stage, where on my S4 should I send a pushed file? "/system/bin"?
-If I try an adb push in this mode
-How do I get my phone to boot from the proper partition?
-If I have the wrong data in that partition, how do I get the correct information onto that partition?
Here is what it does when I try to sideload from stock recovery:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify while-file signature
E:failed to verify while-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Thank you in advance for any help!

My problem was resolved by flashing a stock recovery and ROM, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569510
The package named "I9505GUEUBML4_FULL_ROOTED.tar.md5.gz" flashed from Odin is what worked.
Hello there.. I normally don't have a problem figuring out what to do but I'm totally stuck here. I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPHL720T. I was rooted and running a custom ROM. I was having issues with the wifi so I decided to flash back to GPE 5.0.1 here from the xda forums. I am running twrp v2.8.4.0. I made a backup and wiped system/data/cache and dalvik. I went to install JFLTE-GPE-20150303 (LRX22C) from ultimarom.com via here at XDA. It said zip is corrupt. So i redownloaded on my PC and transferred it to my sd card. Still said corrupt. So I downloaded a different ROM on my PC and moved to SD. Still said corrupt. I tried to flash a GAPPS package and it worked but no ROMS I tried would. I tried to install my latest backup through recovery. It said MD5 doesn't match. If I hit reboot in twrp it prompts to install superuser because the phone doesn't appear to be rooted. If I hit that it runs the script for about 2 seconds then reboots. It won't boot into the OS as there is no OS and if I reboot into recovery it still gives me the "install su" prompt at the reboot screen. So then I hooked up into ODIN and download mode and flashed "CF-Auto-Root-jflterefreshspr-jflterefreshspr-sphl720t.tar.md5" and "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-jfltespr.tar". Still having the same issues. I have no idea what to do at this point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I need my phone for work and play .
Thanks,
Aaron
EDIT:
Please delete thread. There is an issue with my SD card resulting in files being corrupted. Massive losses. I was able to successfully install ROM by uploading files to Internal Storage
Hello,
I have been attempting to flash AryaMod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-3-tw-lollipop-5-1-1-t3326976/post67619860#post67619860
on my SM-N900W8. From the stock rom, I rooted it using CF-Auto-Root, then installed TWRP.
After downloading and putting all the necessary files on my SD Card, I attempted to install this but TWRP kept giving me file errors "Error: Secure Check Fail : aboot" when attempting to install anything, the kernel, the rom, the bootloader and modem, etc. Nothing was working.
I read that TWRP isn't very good with Aroma stuff and I should be using CWM, so I attempted to install that. Everytime I installed CWM, it would say it is going into recovery, then restart the phone, over and over..
Figured that I needed to just do a fresh install. I get a new Stock Lollipop 5.0 DOH1 from Kies, reroot with CF-Auto-Root, then install CWM from ROM Manager. Same thing, recovery bootloops.
Is there a way to fix either CWM or to get Aryamod to work with TWRP? Is the CF-Auto-Root breaking the recovery install since it installs through recovery as well?
At this point I've spent an entire day trying to get Aryamod with no luck. What the heck am I doing wrong?
