Hey guys i just picked up my galaxy s8 yesterday!
Very pleased and this beautiful handset.
However i have followed "Jesec"s guide to install TWRP and i am having no success
I can flash stock rom and the actual TWRP onto the phone using ODIN without problems
However it seems twrp is having problems mounting storage because
1. There is no flashables folder in the TREZ folder so i cant install magisk etc
2. I get an error saying failed to mount etc
I have followed the guide atleast 4 times to the letter and still having no success.
Cany any one help me please?

Hi XDA,
Before I decided to open this topic I've read through several topics, but I can't seem to find out what I am doing wrong. I hope that opening this thread will help me solving my problem.
I have a Dutch Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) running Android 5.0.1 Lollipop using the Nova launcher, but I'd like to install a ROM for new features and better battery life. After looking around in the development forum I found two interesting ROMs which I wanted to try out. These are the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-imperium-ll-v1-0-t3046889
Or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479
I downloaded the zip file from the first ROM listed and copied it to my SD-card
Both seemed like decent ROMs. I looked up how to root my phone and found out that by using Odin this was pretty easy. After rooting my phone I used QuickBoot to enter Recovery mode. After wiping the DATA I chose update through SD Card > selected the zip file and thought it would install from that moment.
After waiting several minutes the ROM seemed to be installed, the phone rebooted itself and after seeing the swingy SAMSUNG logo it said SYSTEM-UI has stopped. I was able to use all functions, aside from the taskbar, homebutton and backbutton. Also, it seemed like nothing changed? My phone was exactly the same, aside from the fact that my background was black.
I am confused where I am making a mistake by installing either ROM. Can anyone point me out where I make the mistake and tell me how to solve my problem.
Thank you.
If there's any other info neccesary please don't hesitate to ask, i'm happy to provide!
Did you actually install any custom recovery?
You need a custom recovery to install any custom roms. It won't work with the stock recovery.
I'd recommend TWRP recovery. It can also be installed via Odin.
I did, but maybe something went wrong. I am back on the normal ROM now, just rooted the device using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 this thread.
I Will try installing twrp again. Can I use one of the following despite not being in the USA? How do I know for sure?
Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T (jflteatt)
Samsung Galaxy S4 Canada (jfltecan)
Samsung Galaxy S4 Cricket (jfltecri)
Samsung Galaxy S4 C-Spire (jfltespi)
Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition (jgedlte)
Samsung Galaxy S4 International Exynos (i9500)
Ok, installed TWRP and copied the zip files to both my SD card as well as the internal hd, going to install, finding the zip files, swipe to install. Following happens:
Installing '/external_sd/imperium_ll_blabla.zip
Checking for MD5 file
Skipping MD5 chekc: no MD5 file found
Verifying zip signature
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
FAILEd.
I'm confused.

Disable zip signature verification and try again.
Make sure you use the latest TWRP recovery. CWM and Philz are highly outdated.
Thanks for the tips guys. I will try on sunday, don't want to mess with my phone during birthday parties
I will let you know about the results.
Please do a clean flash when you're installing a new ROM.
Clean as in delete cache, dalvik, system, and if needed, internal storage.

Greetings to everyone,
I would be happy if you can help me with a little problem on my Note 4.
For some reason I cant install a costum ROM on my Note 4 (N910F).
As soon as I have installed a ROM like NameLessROM the phone reboots, shows the Samsung logo for about 10 seconds, reboots, shows the logo, reboots, ...
Its the same thing happened to me once whileI tried to boot it with no system partition (wiped it)
I am using the newest TWRP.
Anyone got a solution?
Greetings
Robin
Sorry Robin for "hijacking" your thread but we're in the same boat
I'm having the exact same problem with my SM-N910F.
I've rooted the device using Odin3 and "CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f.tar.md5". This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
That went fine and I checked the root privillige afterwords with a terminal app on the phone. I issued the SU command and got at .....root#. Don't know if thats the right/best way to check it!
After rooting the phone I still had the stock recovery tool so again with Odin3 I installed "philz_touch_6.59.0-trlte.tar.md5".
This also went fine and I can now access "PhilZ Touch 6" recovery tool.
From here I've tried installing three different ROM's ("GlamourS6v3_1", "Super.Fast&LolliFamous™[S6+Style+v2][PART.4.0.]_BOC3" and "Super.Fast&LolliFamous_[.PART.6.0.]_BOD2") but keeps ending up with a phone that just keeps rebooting.
When I install the ROM I start with the "Clean to install a new ROM" option and after that install ZIP. The ROM's are located on my SD card.
The installation succed and when I reboot the phone just continues to reboot.
Any good advise?
Regards
John
You have to flash via odin the right modem and bootloader for the ROM that you're trying to install
mone, your a genius! Or maybe you just read the instructions more carefully than I did
I found the exact info and links in the ROM thread and everything is working now.
Thanks!

Okay for Nameless ROM to work on N910F you have to install the SimplKernel and need to update your bootloader and modem accordingly.

If I''m not mistaken your phone model is N910F, if so you are flashing the incorrect ROMs as the ones you listed are for the exynos variant. So please look for ROMs in the correct thread "Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)" And using PHilztouch recovery is not recommend and so I would advise you to install TWRP,
N910F = Trltexx
N910G = trltedt
Exynos:
N910C = treltexx

Hey guys would appreciate some help.
I was trying to install Xposed and was relatively careless and didn't make any backups.
Currently i am on the latest Stock lolipop ROM for my SM-N9005, and only have a basic understanding of what I am doing.
My steps were:
1. Root via CF-Auto-Root and Odin
2. Install latest version of CWM touch via Rashr - Flash Tool - so far so good.
3. I then downloaded and flashed xposed-v67-sdk21-arm.zip via CWM and got into a bootloop.
Still have access to CWM and download mode. I would prefer not to lose all my files and apps if at all possible.
I have tried ADB sideloading Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip to undo any damage that Xposed had done, but it just said "no backup found for app_process nothing to be performed!"
Any ideas on how I can get my phone to working order and what has gone wrong?
Thanks!

Still have access to CWM
Make a backup and copy off your phone .
You should be able to recover your files from that .
Thanks for the reply.
I am using about 29gb of my 32gb storage and most of my 64Gb SD card so i fear there may not be room.
Even if there was room, I would very much prefer to not have to do a clean install if at all possible.
How would I transfer the backup to my computer after if I were to go down that route?
Use samsung kies for that

Don't worry all fixed. Downloaded the latest uninstaller and sideloaded it
Worked.
Hello, i decided to open new thread because I nowhere find solution. My problem is that after flashing my moto g2 with omni 6.0.1 it get stuck on warning message (about unlocked bootloader). Now I can only get into bootloader menu, connect phone to PC (it's showing dewice as motorola dadb interface),I can only flash twrp using fastboot (fastboot boot twrp.img) and that's it. I can not flash anything permanently to the phone: any custom recovery, any rom,can't fix it with logofix.It just look like phone doesn't accept any flash. I tried also to change boot and other img but with no succes, always after any operation when I reboot phone it's get to warning message.
My phone is motorola 2G xt1068, 8gb, bootloader ver 48.87. Once I tried to flash it with retail rom from sd card via twrp 3.8.0.1 it shows that previous system was omni-titan 6.0.1 and retaildsdsall can not be flash,always shows error 7.
I wonder if I can flash it with upper version of omni: 7.0.1 to fix the problem with booting the phone.
If You could give me any advise how to solve the problem, I would be very appreciate.
Waitng for your reply Guys.
After a lot of tryes I found that anythig I do on the phone after restart it's getting to the same state, even if I manually deleted folder "Firmware", after reboot it's going back. When I prepared Moto for installing new rom using Philz recovery, all the data stay on it's place ( I mean private data like thumbnails in DCIM folder etc), nothing dissapeared. It's look like it have some copy of the system in internal storage and always after rebooting it's recovering it back, even if the system is flashed by new rom.
Have U any idea what's wrong with this phone?
Additinally I found that a lot of internal memory is busy: over 4500MB and free is only 780MB. Even after wiping everything, also formatting system.Should it be like this?

Ok, if noone could help me let's treat it as a blog.
Digging in google I found spanish site with a lot of custom roms for motorola. Now I'm trying one by one till I found the right one.

So I found the solution to change the information in meta-info folder.I did it but when instalation started after "symlinkig" it stopped with error: some symlinks failed, error 7. And again I stucked.I feellike I'm very close of the solution but I need help. I'm using twrp 3.2.1.0 running via fastboot (boot twrp.img).
