[Q] dm-verity verification failed in recovery - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(My phone is still running stock room, rooted, and with twrp)
So I was just about to flash a custom rom on my note since I learned that I can flash some t-mobile rom on my canadian (Bell) variant if I also flash a certain kernel(Only AEL and star[sumtin] I think) .
When I go to my recovery, I see on the bottom of the screen: dm-verity verificatoin failed.
I did a lot of research and didn't found anything, except some vague mention of that when bootloop are occuring.
So I don't know what I should do, if I can still flash anything without any worries, or should I unroot my note and flash the stock unrooted rom?
Can I still continue what I was doing and flash the custom rom and kernel I wanted to flash?
Another small question: I remember before rooting my note I had a software update available. I decided to root it first thinking I could do the update after (stupid I know), but I couldn't no more (I got a message about using a modified version or something like that). Is it important? Should I unroot my note, update the stock software, then root it again? And I guess if I flash another custom rom it's insignificant right?
thanks in advance! If I'm posting that because I really searched and found nothing satisfactory and clear, also bear with me I'm not perfectly bilingual.

It sounds like the custom rom you downloaded got corrupted, or just isn't compatible with your device. Try downloading again, and see if that works.
As for the update, now you are rooted you can no longer get any OTA updates. Most if not all custom roms will be using the latest builds. If you want to flash a completely stock (updated) rom, sammobile.com is where you need to be. But you will have to root the device afterwards.

Same problem for me. Was on completely stock rom until today but hated the lack of control so tried a custom rom. I've been a flashaholic for years so thought I'd have no problem but how wrong I was. First I tried TWRP recovery several times but kept getting stock recovery. I then tried Philz CWM but got even more problems including "dm-verity verification failed". I am fairly new to KitKat as I tried it on my note 1 but didn't like it. I am really angry that the stock rom prevents me installing bloatware and restricts access to my Sd card.
Have now managed to root and install clockwork mod and Echo rom and all seems to be working now

Anybody solved the "dm-verity verification failed"-issue so far?
Does an installation of the stock-firmware solve the problem?

That´s what I finally did. Couldn´t resolve it in any other way.
After that I installed TWRP instead of CWM and also used another root-method as before. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2oOvf5tOCY) Since then the problem is gone.

Do you think I can just run Odin and install twrp without refreshing to stock rom first?
I dint even know if it's possible to switch to twrp after installing cwm without A fresh start lol
Might give it a go when I have a few hours to re set up the phone haha
Thanks for your help though!

I don´t know whether you can flash twrp after installing cwm, but I doubt it would solve your problem anyway.
Well, you could try. In the worst case you can still go back to stock.

Thanks man but unfortunately, even though it says fr all Qualcomm variants, its only for Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and Canada or India. I am not sure if they are SM-N910G models which is released in Australia lol
I dont want to accidentally brick the phone
and thanks for the quick responses man!

I see.
Another thing you could do is, ask Rkrishnamurthy from this thread, what he finally flashed on his 910G-model? http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=325832927
He might have flashed the N910F-recovery on his N910G.
Or ask Aamirleo55 from this thread, what he did with his N910G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...rp-2-8-1-0-t2923509/post56392220#post56392220
Sorry, that´s all that comes to mind for now.

Yea i was thinking about giving the 910F Recover a go... but its a bit risky hahaha
The link to the first thread doesnt work but i did message aamirleo55.
Thanks for all your help again man. I feel like such a noob right now haha
I reflashed last night to stock. and then re-rooted, and installed CWM. But after i do all the SUPERSU updates and Xposed Framework, my DM Verity Fails again!!!
This really suck, because essentially i wont be able to backup, restore and flash my phone like i use to on the note 3......
I seriously hope 910F TWRP recovery is the answer.

Ok
So I decided to download the latest CF Auto root and I found that the TRLTEDT corresponds with the SM-N910G - http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
TRLTEDT correspondents to the India TWRP recovery - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/266
SM-N910G also corresponds to India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and obviously Australia (where i am based) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/galaxy-note-4-versions-cpu-t2883741
So in theory i should probably use that one.
What do you think man?

Sorry for the bad link. I tried to find it again, but also couldn´t. If you wanted, you could still send him a private message.
When I had the DM-verity issue, I also reflashed to stock, installed CWM and rooted again, and got the same problem again. Just as you. Only when I used TWRP it worked for me and the DM-verity problem didn´t occur since then.
For backup you could at least make a Titanium-backup, which in the paid version even allows you to create a flashable .zip-file from all your backupped apps & settings. This is a very convenient way of re-installing everything, almost like a nandroid-backup.
Or if you are brave enough you could try flashing TWRP-recovery directly over your current CWM. I don´t know whether that works, but as long as you can get into download-mode, you will always find your way back to stock.

All this work and research just so I can flash my kernel with the N4 AEL Kernel haha
like you said though, as long as i can get into download mode, I should be all good.
I actually soft bricked my phone a couple days after i got it by accidentally converting certain system apps to user apps..... (idiot). Fixed the problem by flashing stock firmware and then re rooting. So i have some experience fixing this haha but hopefully i don't have to and report some good news.
Ill get back to this thread within the next 24 hours with results.

Mate! It worked.
So for anyone with DM-Verity Verification failed, simply install the appropriate TWRP recovery over it and it will fix your problem.
also SM-N910G is compatible with the TWRP Recovery for Inidia (even though it does not say it is)
So hap this fixed my problems and big thanks to Parinibbana for all the assistance.

i9500 can't install recovery (Fixed)

Hi everyone. I was using my phone with stock rom for a while ans I wanted to pass to Miui cuz I heard 4.4.2 will be released soon.
I downloaded TWRP and tried to flash as I did everytime before with Odin. I flashed it and it rebooted, odin showed Pass with no errors, but when I tried to launch the recovery, it is still stock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I flashed it like this before and they always worked but this is not working. Is there another way to install this? I don't have root access but it wasn't an issue before. I have the usb drivers installed and debugging on. It was tricky to install drivers on Win 8.1 but it seems like installed correctly as it didn't showed an error.
Waiting for an answer please. I hate this exynos phone but my parents just not allowing me to sell this.

I tried installing Miui in the stock rom but it didn't work. Perhaps the last updates did something? Cuz I was able to do this with ease.

The rom you are currently on has nothing to do with your inability to flash the recovery. It's a completely different thing.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That should probably fix it.

You can maybe look for the latest official firmware from samsung and flash it. And after that try again the recovery. Here the Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

SM-N915W8 Canadian NOTE EDGE

Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.
Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..
annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.
go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP
and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout
and have all 4 files on hand before you start!
Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure

I Too have a rooted SM-N915W8 (BELL VERSION but im on TELUS)
Thank you for your insight @gundal
Awesome glad it worked out for you too, now we can experiment with which kernel and os will boot without fear of bricking
Yes, I tried reflashing the backup and all is good.
Hyperdrive didn't work even with restoring our boot sector (kernel)

Glad you guys are having luck with the Canadian model. I jumped the gun and imported one from Korea as soon as it was released and it's an awesome device!

Were you guys able to flash a custom ROM? Which ROMS will work with the Canadian version? And which US Model number is 'equivalent' to the Canadian one?

Anyone try any T-Moble stuff? I didnt look myself but I ask because we all used the tmoble stuff for our old Canadian Note3s ... could be the same senerio. I think that Tmoble kernels should work..

What recovery are you using cause Im on twrp and I cant make a backup, cache partition cant be mounted either, are you having this prob too?....
Dont worry about it, someone else who had this problem fixed it by formatting cache - did that and everything went fine.

Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.
Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?

Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.

Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.
Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..

Not yet. I check daily. I'm hoping someone will be able to capture it via Kies when Lollipop rolls out. It's only matter of time before sammobile gets it.

Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.

Bricked Samsung Galaxy Prime Cricket version SM-G530AZ

Hello everyone! I am new and a noob here. I have upgraded to a 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware. My phone was still carrier locked so I started looking up threads on the internet on how to unlock it for free, and came across a kingroot then region unlock solution. I used kingroot then downloaded supersu and installed that. After it finished installing, it said a reboot was necessary so I rebooted. Upon rebooting it said custom in the bootlogo then popped up with a big triangle that said Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
After much tinkering with installing Odin and downloading firmwares, I am still in the same boat. I believe this may be because I (stupidly) enabled reactivation lock because it sounded helpful in case my phone was stolen. This is now locking the firmware down and every time I try to install a stock firmware (4.4.4 or 5.0.2 as these are the only ones available on Sammobile for the SM-G530H) it says r/l enabled cannot install kernel without r/l or something to that effect. That is why I think the reactivation lock is messing me up. It also doesn't help that I upgraded to 5.1.1, as I believe that makes it harder to install a stock firmware, especially an older one.
Thanks for reading and if anyone knows anything that can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
bumpity bump bump..
anybody?
this is what happens when you try to replace king user/king root with supersu. same thing happened to me, totally bricked. And I didn't backup first
Never found a way to restore it, so I sent it to samsung and got another one, backed it up, and did king root, and manually switched to supersu.

how did you send it to them and they fix it? i figure they wouldn't help because it was a user error in which you tried to flash which voids warranty or whatever /:
I fixed these phone all day for the same exact problem. Call me 347-210-8466 and I will tell you where to ship the phone and have it repair and shipped back to you in 24hr. For only $45.00 return ship is free.
No need to pay to get phone fixed. Follow this post. Somewhere along the flash, it will display message that kies is not compatible with phone, click ok and it will finish flashing. I just did this yesterday on my son's phone.

Hey, I have the G530AZ my phone works normally with a few exceptions. I can NOT update SuperSU I have a Custom Status due to Rooting with Odin with G530H. I used an app and now when I reboot or power my phone on I have to reboot a 2nd time from the recovery screen. If I plug my phone in it powers up and the same thing happens if I update using Kies3 in the mentioned post will it work and be okay?

I'm thinking your issue is with the kernel not recognizing the firmware. You need to flash the original kernel for the G530AZ.
You may be able to use the file I have linked for the G530A in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/general/att-samsung-galaxy-prime-sm-g530a-links-t3283066

Yes and No.. You have to be able to boot to use Keis ...
Though it is actually preferred to use the original Cricket software for the G530AZ.

The procedure I posted above will flash your phone back to pure stock, like it would be out of the box. Only thing would be, that it flashes the most current update. When I got the phone, it was already on 5.1.1 and this is what Kies downloaded and flashed.

Yes, comprehensive instructions would be good to have, which files go in what slots in Odin. I have used Odin before, but with a single file. Been so long since I have used it though.

I believe the problem is that people are flashing firmwares for the incorrect model. If I am understanding correctly, this is a thread for the Cricket Wireless version of the Grand Prime, model SM-G530AZ. If you are flashing firmwares for the 530H, you are bound to have problems.
Here is a link for both the KitKat and Lollipop stock firmwares for the G530AZ. Hope it helps.

7.0 for sm-T810 is out for manual install

or over ota in deutśland
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T810
mirror https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkwFKpUzEQM6g40-OaKt1G3o68Q7cg
Download for your region with SamFirm tool
Thanks a lot, I've been running the DBT / German version on my US T810 for a while now since it gets updates first and just got Nougat OTA. Recommend all users use the manual kies update here and get 7.0 right away: smoother, better multi tasking / split screen and adds reading mode/blue light filter. Also has April 1 security update.Will post on battery life later once it settles in but Samsung really delivered on this one. A major reason for tab s3 just went away (at least for a few months).
Thank you @Extreemator, I flash it with Odin and is working incredibly.
It is fast, stable and has a very nice UI, comes with Grace UX installed as the main interface, so the order of some options is different. The floating windows have two options, the first is the traditional Samsung split windows and the second is the native implementation of Nougat.
Until this moment it has working great, without lag, will have to see how the battery performs on the next days. The fingerprint reader is not fast and effective as it should be, but it does its job.
Just a reminder, for those who come from an NOT samsung rom (aka RR or LOS), it is necessary to clean caches after flashing the rom, otherwise you will have constantly crashes. You can access to the Samsung recovery by using this key combination: Power + volume up + home
Edit:
I have an USA región tab, but German work very well. When SC arrive I update it.
Managed to get root
could you guys check if the firmware is still 32 bit?

I flashed SuperSU from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-s6-nougat-supersu-t3570740
Initially it didn't work (or maybe I did something wrongly​). So I flashed SuperSU from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
It ended in a bootloop, but I flashed the first SuperSU again and it worked.
Looks like the T710 is getting updated too. https://plus.google.com/+DavidIwantschak/posts/ZkAMV45EpqH
T715 updated too. Rom is available on sammobile firmware section for download.
Waiting for T719 now

Thanks. Will it wipe data? I'm on a us rom. I assume I will have to replace twrp afterwards. Thanks for your patience. I'm relatively new to Samsung flashing.

Yes it will wipe all your data. Make sure you have a backup of your data and extract your sd card just for precaution.

HC, flashing zips not intended for your device just because it says nougat in the title?!
I'm not surprised it didn't work considering you also flashed the kernel for that device.
Lucky for you supersu made a backup of your stock boot.img and restored it the second time you flashed the correct zip.
Next time I suggest you get it from source not from some third party thread.

From what I understood, that zip works in both S6 and Note 5, so it didn't seem a device specific kernel. However, i already knew the risks and how to recover my device in case of brick.
Well, I´ve dirty flashed with Odin, afterwards rooted with latest TWRP and then finally flashed Magisk. Everything seems to be fine til now.
The file download from OneDrive seems corrupted. I tried twice today and all of them get footer wrong message during update.

Try Samfirm https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
But make sure to do full backup even for your internal storage.
