Hello,
I made a mistake and flash a bad kernell to my Note 3. After that it boots only to a black screen and after that it reboot to system recovery. Reboot to bootlader doesn"t work.
When I tried to load new official rom using ADB or "update from external storage", it says "Footer is wrong, signature verification failed".
Its Android 5.0 (see screenshot) and the "bad" kernel is N9005XXUEND3. I cant connect ODIN or KIES. Is there any way to repair it? Thanks for any help.
You cannot update from Storage its the wrong format .
Samsung updates KIES or ODIN .
But It's not possible to connect ODIN or Kies and update from external storage is in the menu of my recovery. There is also "update using ADB". But there is a same problem with footer and verification....
Take it to a repair shop .

HI XDA,
I am using Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G)
1st STAGE
Suddenly in my phone's recovery menu says "drk verification failed",
If i install firmware vis Kies or ODIN it says"write flash memory failed"
2nd STAGE
I flash new Firmware and PIT file(get from some web) via ODIN3_v1.85.
But phone was not worked properly.
When i open recovery boot menu it says"Installing System updates"(5 min)
then after select "wiping menu" or "reboot" it takes 10 min.
3rd STAGE
I flash via Smart switch Emergency Recovery mode but it says above errors.(But it working properly compered to above condition but have same errors)
4th stage
I flash official ROM(AP) and Boot Loader(BL) vis ODIN3_v3.11.
Started properly but same screen says"Installing system updates" and all that.
Sometimes says "NO COMMAND" for a bit sec and goes to recovery menu.
Note: Phone is not rooted
What should i do to solve this issue?
I think that may issue again rise from PIT file?(It seems partition line in recovery menu)
is there any way to remove partition made by PIT file?
What should happen if i check "re-partition"(Not given PIT file) or "Nand Erase All" while flashing with ODIN?
I have BL,AP,CP,CSC for that phone.
Thanks in advance.
Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.
Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.
At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to install the Stock Firmware and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?
2- I did good or bad using PIT file?
3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?
4 What else can I do?
In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38
Device:
Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom
1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC
Need help Please
Thank you so very much!
Hi, I think I f***** up badly...
I wanted to root my S7 Edge SM-G935F running android 7.0 so I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
I used Odin to flash a CF auto-root I found for the 935F for android 7 and the site just said I had to install SuperSU after that but it was just boot looping.
After that I installed TWRP for my phone and installed the zip with Superuser. I kept receiving the error "failed to mount /data (invalid argument)".
I googled it and found a video that said I had to change my system "file system" from EXT4 to FAT. It was stuck so I rebooted the phone...
Now I can't load TWRP (it's stuck at the loading screen) to do a factory reset and when I do a normal boot it doens't go further than the S7 Edge screen, it doesn't go to the flashing SAMSUNG screen.
Now when I choose to reboot in Odin mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I tried to do that but it says "unsupported device" and it doesn't see my phone in the Emergency Software Recovery tab.
I could have done a factory reset before but it's not the first time I root a phone and I never had a problem so I didn't back anything up but I have some very important pictures on my phone for school.
I enabled adoptable storage so I couldn't just take out the 128gb Samsung Pro + micro sd and copy the pictures on my pc.
Can somebody please tell me how to factory reset my S7 Edge even if I lose all my data. Sorry for my English it's my third language.
Thanks in advance
If I can remember correctly the "An error has occurred while updating th......." screen is actually the same as download/odin mode, so you can odin flash back stock rom.
Your data has probably already been lost during file system changing which automatically format /data.
Also I have never seen any phone run on FAT file system. S7 only support EXT4 and F2FS(required custom rom and kernel). So be careful next time.
AFAIK, there's currently no root available on stock nougat touchwiz rom unless you use modified kernel&rom.
For TWRP to be able to read /data.
/Data need to be FORMAT in TWRP once to remove encryption, so that TWRP can read it.

After flashing stock with Odin, enter in Settings, Developers Settings and activate OEM unlock and debugging, this will prevent the FRP lock, then you can repeat process to flash TWRP and root phone if you want and so...you will be fine.
Thanks for your time actually at that time firmware unavilable from official site so i was trying to make it from unofficial website but now problem is resolved. Again thankyou for support.
Hello
I rooted my TAB 2 P5100 with "CF-Auto-Root-espresso10rf-espresso10rfxx-gtp5100.tar.md5" through Odin 3.0.7.
It all finished OK and As i Check through Root Checked it says that my device is Rooted and it still has the latest original Android version 4.2.2
As I go to install any possible ROM I can find through SDCARD I recieve the error displayed in the title.
E:signature verification failed
I read a bit around and I wast to add that I do not have the option to toggle off verification mode.
Any help PLS
Thank you

NVM, it was easier than what i thought.
Download TWRP.zip and place it on the SD card
install TWRP fropm Google APP
Open it and tell it to install the TWRP.zip into recovery.
shut down and start to recovery - which starts to TWRP
after that is very easy.
