E footer is wrong, e signature verification failed when installing OTA update? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.

Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.
.

It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.

thanks this helped me a lot

Recovery Image needed

Of course, as old veteran, I had to play with my shift. And playing for me means, get deep into that thing.
So I unhid the recovery partition and backed it up. I created a recovery DVD and tested it.
After, I enabled the full capacity of the HDD and ran the recovery. Everything went fine and Vista was back up.
I then formatted the beast again and installed ubuntu...again, no problem.
But then, to my shock, I couldnt run the recovery DVD anymore. Maybe carelessly, I dropped something on its surface and now it gives me a read error and breaks off the recovery. I used ImageX.exe to verify the Xvista.wim, but it confirmed that the wim was not
valid.
Too bad, but now I dont have a recovery possiblity.
I hope someone can help me. I am able to provide my 100mbit ftp for up and downloads.
Recovery
I am also looking for an English recovery image.
I found a nice tool which can mount *.WIM files as a standard drive or folder. With this tool its easy to modify the XVISTA.WIM and the BOOT.WIM.
All I need now is a working recovery partition.
I want to slipstream a Vlite version of Vista and see if i can get it all working.
HTC Service is a nightmare
I install the vista manager, trying to speed up the boot time, but it crash the vista.. , when i try to use F3 to recover, it show blue screen in the middle.
since no recover disc provide, so i try to install xp instead. But i found some function key not work on Shift. so i decide send back to HTC for fixing it, it just a a days only new computer. but HTC want to charge me HK$7XXX ( US$1000 ) . They said i void the warranty term because of installing XP. What i think is the hidden partition ( recovery ) has problem....
I am very disappoint with them, and i will tell everyone about their bad treatment to customer.
By the way, can someone help me to get the ORIGINAL image of the hdd. ??
i already uploaded my (english) recovery image to someone's ftp server.
it took me several days because my upload is less than 40kbyte/s.
so I don't feel re-uploading elsewhere, but:
the image is still on the ftp.
I'll ask if he can give access to you guys.

i can share my ftp

If an FTP would be available I would be glad to share my italian recovery image.

Problem solve , and HTC CARE ( HK ) really bad
Finally I solve the problem, maybe it can help some other user.
1. Format your HDD with Low level ( don't use quick format ) .
2. reboot and press Shift F3....
3. All the blue screen and error won't appear again.
I am happy with it, but i spend more than 2 days to solve the problem.
But I am very disappoint with Hong Kong HTC, they want to charge me for us$1000 to fix the problem, and claim that i damage the hardware, and need to replace the motherboard... I just brought if for few day and under warranty.
They are really cheating customer. I hope their management guy to contact me by [email protected] , and APOLOGIZE for their BIG mistake.
I will post to all FORUM , newsgroup and let the user know how they treat the customer.
First Recovery Image up
The first image file is up and can be grabbed from here.
https://phatpipez.homeftp.org/HTCShift/
Thanks to TokyoRob, who kindly sent me the image file.
Its a 3GB bin file, dumped by using Pof's guide, which can be
found here
http://pof.eslack.org/blog/2008/04/...re-the-vista-recovery-partition-on-htc-shift/
***I believe the language is Japanese,*** ITS IN ENGLISH!!!!! but I already created a patch to change a fresh installation to any desired language.
More about this later.
I would appreciate it, if someone could send me another recovery image
and also the /Program Files/HTC folder.
unfortunately the guy who has the ftp hasn't replied to me yet and I don't want to give out the login info without permission.
in the worst case, if you can guarantee the image will indeed be public for a long while, then I can take the pain to upload it again to whatever server you give me a login to.
still no reply from this guy I mentioned; but someone else also has the english recovery partition (in 7z, yuck!) on a server, this is not public, but I asked him to PM you all. please do not give out the login info he gives to you.

[SOLVED] TG01 US ROM Update? (Error occurred during system reset)

Hi everyone, if you are having trouble with upgrading the ROM on the US TG01, then this is your topic! Here are the few things you must do the update the ROM:
-Fully charge your battery
-Format your MicroSD card to FAT32, then create a folder called "prg" (don't type the speech marks), and place your ROM in there, and don't forget to change it's extension to .enc from .tsw
-Remove the black tab under the SIM slot, beware, pull it upward, not forward
-Can you see the three "yellow circles" on the SIM slot? The first and third one are what we wanted the connet together. Link/connect them with a wire
-Push the power button for 10 seconds
-Wait a little bit
Done!
Don't thank me, thank leeston for all his continous support, hey, thank you again man!

Not enough detail for me to help you. Please reply to the following.
1. Which method did you use, short pin or sddl+?
2."just restarting", do you mean that the sd downloader doesn't start and goes straight to Toshiba screen or it starts then resets the device making no changes?
3.If the sd downloader starts, does it say 'Variant Invalid' briefly before it restarts?
If you dont know what shortpin or sddl+ means then look HERE.
Sorry, I did not informed you very well,
I've used the sddl+ method. Clicking on the sddl+ restarts the device, just like a soft reset. If I click on the SD downloader, then it says "Invalid filename".
Thanks for the reply.
Now the SD Downloader says "Error occurred during system reset" when I click Download.
Err?
I'm wondering, is that too difficult to help a mate who is having a problem? PLEASE???

I assume you've read the sticky about rom flashing and are still having problems, follow the guide below and let me know how it went.
Download my ROM from HERE.
Download 7Zip from HERE.
Download sddl+ from HERE.
1.Install 7Zip
2.Right click "TG01WP_StonromR7.7z" and choose "7Zip -> Extract to "TG01WP_StonromR7.7z\"" (This will create a folder called "TG01WP_StonromR7" in the same place as the downloaded file)
3.UnRAR sddl+
4.On your storage card create a folder named "prg" (no speech marks)
5.Copy "TG01WP_Stonrom.tsw" to the "prg" folder on your storage card.
6.Copy sddl+ to the root of your storage card. (root = not in a folder, just straight on the card)
7.Open file explorer and go to your storage card and open sddl+
8.You will now have a white screen, with the text "sd downloader - do not remove battery or storage card" (it may not say exactly this, i can't remember just now)
9.Wait
10.Wait a bit more
11. The phone should restart after a bit of waiting, the first boot can take a long time. Be patient.
I only say use my rom because i know it flashes and boots on my 2 devices.
If this doesn't work, pay attention to the on screen messages during flashing and post them here word for word, along with which rom you tried and any other info that you can provide.
Thanks again for your help, downloading right now, I'll inform you about the process.
It doesn't work, only says "Invalid filename" if I click on the TG01_SDDL.
If I click on the tg01_sddl+, the device just restarts, no further changes, still the same problem.
???
BTW, I changed the ROM's name to TG01WP_00.tsw, now the SD Downloader says "Error occurred during system reset".

Only thing i can think of is to rename the .tsw to .enc.
I tried that too. It doesn't work neither.
BUT,
Thank you very, very much for your afford.
Post edited, detailed informations added.
Have you tried updating you TG with the manufacturer update instead of a cooked ROM? Just to prove that flashing is possible on your device.
I would suggest using the official update and SD Downloader from Toshiba.
Please post back with your experiences.
Yes, actually I've tried with the TG01WP-WM6.5-UK file. Result: Same

Where did you get the file? The correct file name should be "TG01WP_5005000176.tsw" or "TG01WP_5005000167.tsw" not "TG01WP-WM6.5-UK"
Just to clarify, is it an Orange UK TG01? Did you buy it from a shop or second hand?
I got the file from Toshiba's official web site (Europe).
Err, I don't know where my device is from, but I can assume you it's a TG01, not the "A" one.
Here, the file is included on the file I've downloaded:
TG01WP_5005000176.enc
Ok, the phone is from USA, I guess it has a different software version updater.

The only thing i can see that is left now is to use the short pin method. Details are in the guide to flashing tut in the sickies. You will need to make sure the radio versions are the same first though.
Start\settings\system\about\version info. Where it says radio version is what you need to know. Mine is "5005.1600.05" so would be referred to as 1600 here. If you let me know what radio you have i will upload a ROM with the correct radio for you.
This may take me a little while though.
Radio version is 5001.0000.5319
Very different, heh?

I'll try and find a rom with that radio, for now though try renaming the tsw to .enc and try short pin.
I think some phones released to America have different radio hardware than UK phones. I'm not sure if this is the case for the TG01 though. I think we have a few American forum users. Maybe they could help if they are reading this?
Anyway, I really appreciate your help and support.

Platform 'so' checking is failed when loading ZSKG1

Hello, I've downloaded the ZSKG1 from samfirmware and used MultiLoader v5.65 to upgrade my Wave, but unfortunately the following error occurs:
Platform 'so' checking is failed...
Platform 'so' modification is detected !!!
Same error occurs after replaced the battery and restart the phone. I can only make my phone work by reload the XXJL2...
Was there any problem with the firmware? Please kindly help!
Thanks!
Hi NitramNach
to flash S8500ZSKG1 you need to have FIRST S8500ZSKA2
Were you flashing from that FW???
I tested that FW (Don't ask me why)and Didn't have this issue
Please try again and let's see what will happen
Best Regards
Thanks! Forgot it had been mentioned in the download page, I'll try that.
Btw, there is a FactoryFs_S8500_Open_HkTw_XXKG1.pfs file, I load it as Factory FS instead of PFS, am I correct?
Also, is that the ZSKG1 does not include the swype like input method?

it is a *.pfs file so it should put in the pfs box

yes it doesn't include swype
i don't really know why is it removed
Best Regards
Tried to load ZSKA2, boot up, and then load ZSKG1, but still got the same error message...
I had removed the sim and sd card before loading firmware, will this be the root cause?
Can you post your multiloader Screen shot so i can see how you put the files in it please???
Its solved. i've loaded the .pfs file as PFS (the last check box) instead of the Factory FS which we usually used for .ffs file.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Let's see. I did provide a link in my response, and the last post on the page of the link I gave had the fix for the sim card message. How much more spoon feeding will you require?
first you need file manager with root access
Sim card messages:
Go to system there is a file called build.prop ,open it and add the line ro.carrier=wifi-only,you can add this line on the bottom of the file for example and les and save the file.
Reboot and the simcard message should be gone.
For the fd.updater problem:
That is because the build prop is changed so the update service doesn't recognize it.
That is no problem I delete this in my roms so you won't have that stupid message.
What you can do is go to system/app, find fd.updater.apk and fw.updater (i think that is the correct name) and rename them by putting a .bak behind the name of the apps.
Reboot and the messages should be gone.

[Q] Restart Required Error [SOLVED]

Hi everyone, I've read every topic related but couldn't find any proper solution and couldn't post in development forum also I use linux on desktop but could be counted as a dummie for this stuff.
Here's the sory; Got new fresh nook, without reading any instruction backed up my Nook files via its usb connection as an img file. Then like an idiot, I've writed the nookie image to the NOOK's memory as it seems and got an error. After rebooting my Nook it became unstable in screen and started an error pop-up says:
"Your Nook encountered an error that need to restart
If this problem persists, please contact our Costumer Service."
Since not any core files deleted from my failed root try, just tried to format the drive as it seems 223MB; Nothing changed. What I did for recover is trying to boot up with an SDcard installed nookie devs. Nothing changed. Tried to recover from the back-up file which gave me the error of "Error#0 occured while writing to disk at sector 465792". I've tried to format it via partition wizard but still the same error. Also tried the solution of rosa87 introductions from his topic as it fail as everything else and decided to open a fresh new topic as the problem source is different. Also I'm out of U.S to contact any official technical service.
Any reccomendations?
P.S: I'm on windows machine runs 7.

If you wrote the Noogie image onto your NST, then you did in fact overwrite core files.
You're also not the first one to do this mistake.
- At this point your NST could have been easily fixed by booting the n2T-Recovery v0.2 image.

Why on earth would you do that?
If you don't know what is going on, it sure aren't gonna help formatting parts of the internal flash.
- At this point your NST is much harder to repair, but maybe not entirely impossible.

How did you try to write it back? What tools? How big is your backup file?

Yes it would fail because you've deleted all the critical files needed to recover your NST.
Forgive me if I sound a bit harsh, I do no intend to, but you made things so much worse by starting to format things and I hope others who read this post and get into trouble later on remembers this and ask us for help before trying to fix it themselves
Check your PM in a few mins.

I too have this problem, but my NOOK's memory was corrupted.
I don't know what to do... n2T-Recovery 1 and 2 was failed.
