Hi folks! I have a Galaxy S4 GPE, rooted and unlocked, but stock otherwise. When I try to run the OTA update for 4.4.3, the phone reboots into TeamWin recovery and appears to start installing. The install errors out though. Can I not install the OTA update because I'm rooted? If so, would reverting the rooting allow me to install? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Install Stock recovery and then try again

Is there a thread on how to do that? I seem to remember when I installed this recovery tool to root the phone, it wiped everything. Is it going to do that again? Because I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time a new Android update comes out just to be rooted.

I went through that method, and it's essentially the same thing, except that I'm downloading the actual update file myself and not letting Android handle it. Needless to say it didn't work. I also updated my TWRP to 2.7.1.0 and tried; no luck. I also uninstalled SuperSU to see if removing root would help. It didn't.

It's the problem of no read for be vague. It worked perfectly on the GPE of my sister. The update that appears in the website is ready for install it through custom recovery. Read all the guide:
Ok so I just got this tablet today (sm-t230nu) and I got it rooted. Rebooted into TWRP, and in my excitement, forgot to make a backup. I wiped everything, minus SD card. Went to flash a ROM, and it reboots TWRP. I've tried a few different ROMs, with same result. Zip file verification is unchecked, as well. Normally I could just restore the backup, but I didn't think anything would go wrong, and now I'm kinda stuck lol. I am downloading the stock ODIN file to flash now, but in the meantime I thought I'd try and fix this issue, too. Thanks

I'm using 2.8.0.1
EDIT: Flashed stock firmware, then rerooted and tried again. It worked this time around. I think I forgot to install busybox last time, that's the only thing I did different

i dont think it was busybox's fault because custom recoveries dont need even root if they are installed thru odin

Hey guys,
I'm facing a new problem.
I had my phone rooted up until yesterday, with twrp recovery and CF Autoroot. Since i knew the procedure of rooting my phone very well (I've done it a couple of times on my phone and had the necessary files stored on my pc) i performed a factory reset. As you can unserstand the superSU app was deleted, so i said ok, lets flash it again.
This time though, twrp just won't flash the file. It just won't. It gives me a red letter error, "could not find meta inf/com/google/android..."
I don't understand. I did the exact same procedure about a month ago. It worked on my first try. What's up with it now?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy J5 using XDA Labs
Hey all.
I'm in need of a bit of help. I have a J5 and was getting sick of being told theres never any space to install apps, so I rooted it hoping to be able to remove the stock apps that come inbuilt like word, excel etc.... Anyway, I then decided to take it a step further and try and install a custom rom, long story short, im stuck with a green screen
I've been googling and following tutorials for hours now and I'm really at the point of giving up, so thought I would reach out incase i'm just over tired from it all and making silly mistakes.
I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 on my phone, I installed Lineage 14.1 figured out how to change the updater-script, green screen. I then installed a stock rom advanced I found here, green screen. I tried Aokp nightly nougat, green screen. After googling green screen I found a post saying its something to do with incompatibility from TWRP and that I need to install lollipop 5.1.1 firmware first before I can change to lilneage 14.1... Ive been googling for ages and I'm either coming to sites that want me to pay to download it at a reasonable speed or wait for hours. I'm a bit dubious as no other rom seems to have worked and I'm not sitting here with an empty phone.
Thanks.

Flashing LP / MM / N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS over stock MM/ROMs based on stock MM --> green screen.
How to flash MM/N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS:
1) Install 5.1.1 stock firmware.
2) Install TWRP 5.1.1 (Nick's or Vince's).
3) Flash the MM/N ROM you want.

Most of the roms comes with root. In case it doesnt have root, you flash it after flashing the ROM.

When I installed 5.1.1 it changed back to android recovery so I had to reinstall twrs recovery, then root again to be able to flash, but this time Lineage 14.1 finally installed

So... I wanted to remove audioFx as I have no need for it, I had to root again... I tried the same root that I used originally but made it so it kept getting stuck on lineage boot screen and gave me no response on trying to boot to recovery. Any idea what went wrong?
Back to lineage again without root.

Did you flash the official SuperSU module from the lineage site?
No, I used Odin with the cf autoroot for my device.
I had problems with cf auto root, particularly the green screen on boot,try flashing the supersu from their site.
Tried it, used first one on the site, installed okay but can't see the su app anywhere, then tried the x86 version in case but wouldn't install.
Oh never mind, had to enable dev mode and enable root for apps and adb first, there is no actual app. I ran another app and it asked for root permission.

Hi,
I have a S8+, SM-G955F and I cannot have Android Oreo and TWRP (and then root). I only can have Android 7 and TWRP (and then root).
Current situation is: I have Android Oreo, Build G955FXXU1CRB7 is installed. Once I go to Download Mode and flash TWRP, I can boot into TWRP, but my device is not booting into Android anymore. It starts up, shows me the Samsung logo and reboots, then it shows samsung logo again and reboots.
It reboots and reboot and reboots...If I go to TWRP and make a factory reset or format data, it does not help, it only reboots when trying to start Android.
Even if I restore an older backup of boot, systems partition, it does not work...
So what do I do? I flash original Android Oreo firmware once again via Odin and get it back working, but: I loose TWRP again (and cannot flash SuperSU).
Any idea? I would like to have latest Oreo as well as TWRP recovery
Many thanks!

Hello, which instructions did you follow to flash again the firmware? ( i assume the firmware was the official )

Yes, it was the official one. Just searched the site, but cannot find it anymore. However, flashing the firmware does not need many steps. DOwnload the zip, extract the .tar files in it, open ODIN, load .tar files into Odin and click flash. Then it was flashed and Android was booting again.

you are right, when you flashed the official firmware, on odin did you select the Home_CSC or the CSC ?

I think it was the CSC, but as far as I remember, I also tried the HOME_CSC in the past (not today) but the behaviour was also the same.
As far as I know difference is that with one of these files internal storage is wiped, with the other one it isn't, correct?
But what could this have to do that I get a restart-loop when flashing TWRP? I dont have a problem to flash original firmware, it works. But once I flash TWRP I cannot start Android anymore and have to reflash Android firmware again.

From the thread I mentioned, yes, I can download TWRP for S8, not S8+, but I went to TWRP site and downloaded correct TWRP for my device. Loading into odin and flash is the same, doesnt matter which device I have.
CF Autoroot does not work for me as it is not available for Oreo firmware. I checked all this previously, I am not a that stupid guy :laugh:

I used exactly that TWRP version today.
The only difference between my steps and the steps mentioned in your mentioned guide is that they use an older Odin version. But I already used different Odin version too
Ok, aynway, I will try it again with this guide tomorrow and will let you know about the result tomorrow. Thx so far

Hi again,
I got an OTA Update this morning, so current build on phone was G955FXXU1CRC7.
I now downloaded the TWRP file you mentioned and followed the guide you mentioned.
TWRP was installed using latest Odin Version 3.13, then I tried to install SuperSU, but this failed, red error messages like failed to mount /data, unable to mount storage.
same for factory reset, does not work. I formated data, it worked. then I installed Super Su, it was possible. then I rebooted device and what shall I say, it booted into Android
Dont know what I did different now, maybe not trying to boot up Android before installing supersu.zip?
However, Now I have latest Oreo with TWRP and phone is rooted
Now I will go on and install xposed framework :good:
Many thanks for your help.
