I have a zte zmax, it's rooted I'm trying to write to the SD card but it says this error update failed platform.xml could not be updated. Is there a fix for this

You can't write to any /system folder unless you flash the switcher zip that flashes recovery to the boot partition and the bootloader to the recovery partition.

Corrupted partitions?

Hello, I was trying to downgrade from N to MM and somehow i lost my system and data partition. I have the custom revolution recovery and i cant mount data or system on the mount menu, also when i try to flash any package it gives me the error "cant mout /datad/system oartition". I also tried to extract system from a original firmware and tried to flash it with fastboot, but it gives me the error "FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)". Is there a way to get back my partitions and reflash MM on here, or have i just won a new (very slim) paperweight? Any help would be much appreciated sice im kinda dependent on this phone.
For some reason system is able to mount now... but still nothing in the data partition , it show 0B
i have the same issue
Have you tried to flash oeminfo?

Is EMMC of my phone corrupted or not?

I am using Spice Dream UNO(Android One).
Bootloader: Unlocked
ROM: Marshmallow Stock ROM
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP
My phone suddenly started giving continuous Force closes so I restarted it and got stuck in a bootloop. Trying to Wipe any partitions failed with Error 1 and I was unable to copy or write to any partition from TWRP file manager. Nandroid backup and restore failed too.
So, I tried to flash Stock Lollipop ROM using SP Flash Tools and it flashed successfully but now all partitions show 0 MB size except Boot, IMEI and Recovery partitions.
Flashing ROM or restoring backup using TWRP still fails. Changing partition format, wiping, formatting fails too. Manual flashing using fastboot shows success but partition sizes still stay at 0MB. I have tried everything but I am not able to restore the partitions back to normal.
I haven't used the format feature of SP flash tools.
Now starting TWRP or fastboot turns the phone off and I am not able to access them.
Is EMMC of this phone corrupted or not? Can it be fixed?

How to root a S8 G950F Exynos with failed integrity verification without wipe ?

Dear all,
I tried since yesterday to root my S8 Exynos (G950F). My phone is crypted and when I try to root with magisk via TWRP, I have errors to access to datas. When the system boot, I have the error unable to restart your phone. the integrity verification has failed....
Then via TWRP and the shell, I made a copy of the userdata partition on my computer (the crypted partition), then I wiped my phone, I flashed the DM Verify Disabler and then Magisk via TWRP, until then, no problem, I was root but with an empty phone.
There, I uploaded my copy of userdata partition into my S8, I boot the system and always the same error of integrity verification failed...
Now, my phone works always good (I flash the stock ROM via ODIN) but I haven't yet the root.
Is there a way to root the S8 without lost the datas ? A kind of APK or something else ?
Kind regards,
Lau

You need to reflash twrp in odin and boot into recovery (TWRP) before the phone boots the system. Id uncheck auto reset in odin and when its done flashing twrp again boot right into it. From there you want to select to keep the system read only, and then flash the DM Verity Disabler. After thats done flashing, your phone should boot up normally without seeing the integrity failed message. Its important that you boot right into twrp (recovery) after odin flashes it, if not you need to reflash twrp in odin until you successfully get into recovery before it boots your system.
I just tried 2 times this procedure, when I flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1, I have several error messages like Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument) or Unable to recreate /data/media folder or Unable to mount storage and Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps.
When I boot up the phone, I have the same error of integrity failed message and I have to flash a stock system and boot img

You have to wipe data otherwise it won't boot, there's no way round this unfortunately

Previous poster is correct. Wipe>Format data>yes> in twrp then you should be good to go.

S8 recovery mode problems

Hi, when I boot into recovery mode I see the following message: #fail to open recovery cause(no such file or directory)#
My S8 (sm-g950u1) has been flashed stock firmware (crk3), is not rooted and boots fine.
Also, when I tried to install an update from sd card (named "update" and placed at the root of the sd card) I get a failed to verify signature and "error 21."
Thanks in advance
