You can't flash this with odin. It's a update zip, you need to use recovery.

You can install via ADB. I think you jsut place it were adb is installed on your pc.
So usually platform-tools, I'm not sure.

Skip the irrelevant parts, lol. As you already have the zip.

I've got my card as Adoptable Storage so installing from sdcard didn't work. Tried installing from adb sideload and got "Footer is wrong. Signature verification failed."

Did you Rename it as ota.zip when doing adb sidleoad install?

Ah, no. Left it as update.zip. I'll give it another shot. Standby (oh I did confirm md5sums as correct)

Also getting footer is wrong, tried both ADB sideload and installing from SD.

This I why I waites before I did it myself. I didn't want to loose the original copy. I uploaded the one form my wife's sprint edge and it was corrupted and I had to restore her phone. Caused some grief for people.

It's telling me the archive is corrupt. Will try to re-download..

When you did sideload did you rename it to ota.zip? What method did you try for sdcard install? Did you create a fota folder and place it in it as update.zip?

If no one gets this to work don't freak out. I'll contact someone who can give us hand. I still have the original in the /data/fota folder. The md5 checksum I posted was from the copy. As I couldn't get it for the original. I didn't install superuser, jsut the eng_boot

And failed again. Same errors. Confirmed md5sums again and same errors regarding footer and signature verification. This is also a total stock phone, never rooted or customized.

Couldn't update Installation problem with august update

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash

Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
To fix your problem now, find a stock boot image for your update version you are currently on and flash it.

Use a different TWRP, or open the ROM zip and delete compatibility.zip from it.

For others when installing oos update; disable magical modules, install oos update, before restarting install Magisk to both slots using the app, reboot, enable modules if any.

I'm stuck on the part where you have to side load the magisk file in recovery. When i do the command i get his error
adb: failed to read package block: Is a directory

Are you sideloading the zip, or maybe when you downloaded the magisk zip, your Mac automatically unzipped it so you now have a directory.
I haven't used this root method, but I use Macs once in a while, and that's one of my annoyances with one of the Macs I use.

You have to just make sure you have the magisk zip file instead of an unzipped version. Next time I'm working on a mac, I can play around to see if I can replicate your problem.

I finally had some time to try this out on a Mac and everything worked out for me. I couldn't get the same error message you were getting. I did use Magisk v22 though. The only thing you'll have to do is rename the .apk to .zip.

Works on OnePlus 8 India.
Since the recovery link in OP is deleted, I extracted the latest one myself.
Here's the recovery from crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210517-instantnoodle-v7.6

This didn't work for me, I got this error after running sideload. Any idea how to resolve this?

Error 1 when flashing custom ROMs in TWRP.

Device - SM-A205FN.
Firmware - A205FNXXSACVB1.
Custom ROM - AospExtended-v9.0-a20-UNOFFICIAL-20220225-2212.
TWRP version - 3.6.1_9-0 [official].
I can’t install this ROM in any way, because when flashing into TWRP, error 1 pops up. I tried to clear various partitions and also deleted the first two lines of the updater-script file.

Should I try to lock and then unlock the bootloader back? I heard it clears partitions completely. By the way, in the TWRP tar-archive, not only custom recovery.img, but also custom vbmeta.img to bypass protection. Could this be causing error 1?
