I need system.img from stock unrooted kitkat e7 Indian Rom - GiONEE Elife E7

I cannot do an OTA update i get following error
""/system/framework/core.odex" has unexpected contents. Installation aborted."
error 7
Plz Help!!!

plz!!! anyone.. m in need..

Well i really dont understand your problem...
So u are unable to update de phone, correct?
The System.img that i have are splited in 23 files and its only good for the flashing tool....
Lets try to figure this out...
1 - Check if you have that file "/system/framework/core.odex"
2 - Check the file size, if it's zero maybe it is corrupted
Make sure the update you are trying to do is compatible with your phone
I'm assuming that ur on Kitkat, and also you need to be rooted
Here is the kitkat file core.odex, paste it into the framework folder and try to update again

Thank you!!!
Yes i am on kitkat and rooted. When i randomly check if there is anymore update, too my surprise there was an 32mb ota waiting. Gionee's software updater download the file and when i pressed "upgrade" the phone restarted went into recovery and started the upgrade process, at 30% i got the above error msg. So, i googled a bit and found that i have lucky patcher and i did a patch to android thingy which messed up my core.odex file and if i flash system.img it should resolve my problem.
I hope this help to understand my problem.

New Firmware 5.0.0-RU1.1.99

You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.
All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .
Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.
Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .
So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.
To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

i'm using this post as a minimalistic guide for myself (so i keep it up with my "discoveries" )
and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.

How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

NOTE: Russian firmware seems to contain English language. i dont know how to change it later to the favorite one.

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.
It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...
I cannot download last 5.0 EU version, like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...ially-dead-t3312382/post65839167#post65839167

*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.

I haven't updated this morning because I was downloading a previous 5.0, the EU 1.44, but when flashing I had error "cannot load firmware/system.img". So I reflashed 4.4.3... I'll try again this evening

Hello! I have 5.0!
After flashing and old version of 4.4.3 (my phone went with a 4.4.something branded Vodafone Italy, and they evidently don't give a fork about updates). With the 4.4.3 rev 1.0.51a I immediately received he update to 1.0.56a: I downloaded the 114MB, rebooted, and then got the update to 1.0.61a, around 63MB. I rebooted and then got finally the update to 5.0, 1GB :laugh:
I have only one problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.

Another update pull failed verification and resulted in another footer error. If installed without any modification it works, but after rooting and pulling the update.zip, trying to install it results in an error. It could be a security measure introduced to the update.zip to prevent installing on a phone without the matching signature assigned during the initial download.
Whenever i tried to follow the link it asked me for a security key ????
footer error
I read on another nougat beta thread that if you get a footer error then you should decrypt your SD and try agian

I did not have my SD Card encrypted. I have also noticed some discrepancies between the update.zip I am extracting and the working VZW update.zip. Things like: the boot.img is 0kb, and there are missing CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, or MANIFEST.MF files under META-INF folder.
I have tried extracting it in several different ways\environments and get problems with every pull.
Other variants are working on the same thing with the same issues. I have the last pull I made, but I can't continue working on this as heavily since I'm using my daily driver. I'll try again as new info\solutions come up.
Seems like getting root (with current methods) may be disturbing the file structure. There may be something else at play here since all the pulls still come with a boot.img that is 0kb, and are missing CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, or MANIFEST.MF files under META-INF folder.
Here is the link to the WIP update.zip. I'm going to stop working on this until someone can suggest a better way to root or pull the file without it coming out corrupt\incomplete. Good luck!

Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named fota
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume down + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
After this it should update to the Android 7.0 beta and hopefully will be able to download future beta OTAs.
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again.

Ideally it should. However, I have not been able to successfully reproduce the same results as installing the update file without modification.

This is for the SM-G930P regular S7 (not edge). I have pulled it via filemanager app after full root, and via adb on linux and windows after eng kernel root and full root. All of them yielded an apropriately sized update.zip, but it seems to get corrupted during the rooting or extraction process.
Also, there may be a reason behind our update.zip not having a boot.img. We may not need a new boot.img after updating to PJ2, so it isnt packaged in our update. If someone can repackage the update.zip so it passes verification we may have more luck.

Finished the update, all went well. Was a little laggy at first, so i cleaned the cache. Then rooted. Everything seems to be fine for me
same issue here. I can't update both with trwp and stock recovery. Originally my zenfone 3 was TIM SKU. Should be that the reason?

Nobody knows a solution? I have tried to change the reocvery and the boot to the nougat version, and install the firmware manually, everything installs normally without errors, but when it connects it appears the following message "your device software can not be checked for corruption, Please lock the bootloader".
The cell phone is just that and I have to go back to the previous version!
I already took root, xposed and everything, and it always gives the same thing!

Raw firmware
I have the same issue. My phone was branded "tim italy". When i bought it, I flashed the WW version via asus flash tool, and I'm currently able to update till the last M version, which is the ......152.
If i try to update to Android N, my phone will not boot, giving me the corruption message and shutting down after 10 seconds. I also tried to perform the dm restore procedure; the dm error disappeared but the system is stuck on the Asus boot screen
I believe that the only solution is to flash a Nougat RAW firmware via asus Flash tool. Does Anyone have a download link for the N version ?
I have the same problem .. is there who can help?
`same problem can't update to nougat but my error is signature verification
hope someone can help us both

if you want to update with twrp you must modify the update-script file placed in
UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2015.1701.8-user/META-INF/com/google/android
i have uploaded my one, if you can't modify the file you can download it and replace it in zip file

J320A AT&T new update to Nougat

Hi everybody,
yesterday I found this news:
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/10/16/galaxy-j3-2016-android-7-1-1-nougat-update-released-att/
Here the official page:
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1147672?make=Samsung&model=GalaxyJ32016
I googling for a bit and I found the file of that update, those 4 file are tar.md5 and it's possible to use them by odin. Unfortunate when odin try to install the new system it show this error: Rev. system incorrect magic string (or something very similar)
I extrac those file and try to install separately any img or bin partition using heimdall in ubuntu, but again system and sboot image give me this error: ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
I don't know why, considering that my phone it's exactly the model, it suppose to be easy install those file.
Anyone already try to install that update or someone can give me some advice about those error?
I really like to see my phone with nougat running and this lñooks like the best chance.
Hope someone can help with that.
Thanks
Root isn't working atm, not sure if it will without unlocking either. But it is downgradable back to mm... I only have the update.zip, ill upload it in a bit.

Hi @DamienMc, here a couple of link where find those filehope I can post those link without breaking any rules, if i do sorry and tell me please)
http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=10851 (paid)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579486981
I found the first link in the beginning so I've downloaded from there.
What do you mean with "Root isn't working atm"?
My phone it's already unlocked carrier. Witch version of android do you have for that update.zip?
The best I did was flashing the recovery, boot, param partition using the pit file inside of one of those 4 files. There also a folder with foto.zip file, but I can't use it for now.
Please let me know any ideas about how to flash that update.
I posted it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/development/odin-j320a-j320az-links-t3631914
It's the ota zip, edited by me. You need to be rooted and use flashfire. My edits unroot your device then the original update takes over. Pita but that's all I have. I'll look at the full firmware or try to pull it from Samsung again.
But yeah, I wasn't able to root the thing. Haven't given up yet tho
@Iurop
Full firmware installed just fine here (besides an eof error on AP, prolly cause of the fota.zip)... are you sure you're not j320ag?
A and AZ have the same magic string, but AG is different. And can't crossflash with Odin.
@DamienMc
You right my it's a J320AG I was hoping that the firmware works fine for me, but my knowledge for now it's not enough to figured out how to flash those file. Do you know if there's any chance to do it in some way?
I will try your update.zip. In case you work around those nougat file and figured out how to use it on j320ag let me know.
Thanks.
I am afraid your stuck until you get the official update.
While your device can use the same system files here, it cannot use the kernel. And a new kernel is required for nougat.
On top of that your device is now two updates behind the j320a.
Here a couple of screenshot of the firmware version I had right now.
I don't know if Samsung will update this phone to nougat. Will be great.
After flashing the version of your update.zip and make the update, witch version of firmware will be present?
Flashing my phone with a at&t version of the firmware can help in some ways? Or at&t only manage J320A and AZ?
Thanks anyway.
AG = AQB1
AZ = AQG1
A = BQI5
The update.zip is BQI5.
Your best chance would be to try and dd the firmware you posted to see if it boots. I know i tried the system.img, not sure if I did the whole thing. Super dangerous tho...or just wait it out
[EDIT]
After further thought, a real rom.zip might just work on AG...a good test could be to boot a stock boot.img from A or AZ. Won't be 100%, but it'll be a good indication.
Or run it thru kitchen and try it out, if not I'll get to it when I have spare time

@DamienMc, here what I've try until now:
-try to flash boot.img from this stock rom J320AZTUS3AQG1 using PIT file from my versios AG and also using PIT file from AZ version = can't be flashed in any ways.
-flash boot.img from J320A_J320AUCU3BQI5_AT&T_USA_7.1.1 using my PIT file = flashed but after the reboot hang on J3 logo
I don't understand what do yopu mean with "Or run it thru kitchen and try it out", can you explain please?
Also I don't know if Samsung release an update to Nougat for all J320 or it just the AT&T carier to do it. For that reason I've been trying to flash.
@Iurop
Well its good it doesnt fail with 7.1.1 boot....hopefully we can get it going.
I suggested that you create a rom.zip from the system.img a kitchen. But it wasnt that simple, i think i have a working zip now but cannot test it until later...i will pass it to you when its ready

Have you guys tried factory reset the phone without simcard, and then setup the phone also without simcard? It works for me when I check for updates. You should try this

Yes i tried it a minuten ago but nothing.
I also contacted Nokia via threchat but they didnt Have a solution
someone needs to have OTA files in zip format, like in model 1053 ...
I have discovered that you can make updates via recovery with the TA 1053 model files, you have to do them one at a time ... July, August, September and so on
Ah oké thanks for thema solution. Im gonna search for the zip files now and gonna try it now and hope it works
today incredibly I received the OTA notification of Android Oreo, although I have restored via OST
Have you requested the OTA via Nokia Beta labs? Because that disnt work for me.

Does it start processing or nothing actually happens? What's supposed to happen is that it will start processing then along the line you will get an error. After that you can flash OST
I did try flashing , the OST it just errors out at the Aboot .
When I install the zip , it is less than half second then that error appears
I managed to downgrade my TA-1024 from 8.1 to 7.1.1
I used this file : https://devfiles.co/download/ITCUG30m/Nokia6_June2017_Update.zip in the updater script it shows ("Source: Nokia/TA-1025_00WW/PLE:7.1.1/NMF26F/00WW_3_24A:user/release-keys")
i used this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-official-oreo-to-t3746007
and flashed this rom https://firmwarefile.com/nokia-5-ta-1024
first flashed did not succeed phone rebooted to recovery then I Wiped/Erased all data and flashed again and all went smoothly .
Now to root this phone and see if I can make the phone less boring
