Hi all
my friend's phone (Huawei Ascend G7-L01) is stuck at initial logo.
I tried to update from UPDATE.APP (I get this file from this page: firmwarefile.com/huawei-g7-l01 and copied into dload folder in microSD) but I get this error:
Unable to open 'update.app': No such file or directory
error: failed to open zip file 'update.app' : I/O Error
Is this because of NOT having unlocked bootloader? Is this necessary?
If so, to unlock bootloader I know I have to go here: emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail and insert details like IMEI, serial number...
No problem for these, but how can I get Product ID?!
Thank You.
i am new to this forum so i want to apologies if my problem is simple to the most experienced members.
After automatically updating my samsung s8 (greek version) my phone never booted.
Now i have it in Android recovery screen and the samsung service told me i have to delete my data (my phone still has guarantee ). The problem is that i have important data that i need to backup and i need a way to backup my bricked phone!!!
the message at the bottom of the screen is
#fail to open recovery_cause (no such file or directory)
support single-sku
file-based OTA
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
dm verify verification failed..
E:[libfs_mgrlis_dt_compatible():firmware infowas not valid '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible : no such file or directory
I am thinking updating with sd card my firmware, i am not sure how to do it, where to find the file and if this will erase my data.
The most important for me is not to lose data (sms, pictures, voice recording, viber, whats app and messengers)
i also found software that says can backup data from bricked phones but i am not sure which is good. did anyone used any of these???
Please any help will be valuable to me

thank you for the answer
please can you give me a link with instructions, never done it before
is it safe for my data?
where can i find the official firmware
Yes its save.
Download the firmware download too from here:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....l/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647/amp/
When done open samfirm and write on modelbox your s8 model number. Then on Regionbox write VGR. When done select the auto option and binary nature. Uncheck CRC32 and hit Check Update. It should display a logic value, if thats the case tap on download.
After you downloaded the firmware, extract it somewhere. Open your browser and go to this: https://devsjournal.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung.html. Download the latest odin then extract it.
Now open odin. Select BL and choose the extracted firmware file that starts with BL wich you downloaded from samfirm tool. Then select AP and use file wich starts with AP. Now the same with CP.
Now most importantly. Click CSC and select HOME_CSC file. Not the normal CSC one. When done. Boot phone in download mode with home+power+vol.down button in same time. Connect phone with pc or laptop and click start in odin.
DO NOT TOUCH THE OPTIONS OR PIT TAB
Dear Friends,
I have Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018). I changed its pattern lock few days back, and Restarted the phone and realized that i forgot the pattern lock COMPLETELY.
I Googled the problem, and found most authentic post below:
RecoveryMode
I tried all methods on this post, but none could resolve my problem.
The first post said Download Aroma file manager on sd card and opt Update from SD card option to install Aroma Filemanager and delete the gesture.key file
I tried installing various versions of the Aroma File Manager app, but all installation aborted with Signature verification failed error having error code:
Code:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature" "E: signature verification failed" "installation aborted."
I have some precious family pics inside the mobile, that why I want to recover it,
Please guide me how can i install the Aroma File Manager
I also tried the "adb" option from linux machine, where "adb devices" command didnt list my phone, i tried creating the file in /.android/somefile name but above command didnt list my file
Hi,
I've been using some custom Lineage with my S8 SM-G950F which worked for for a while and now I'm trying to get back to stock, usually its quite simple download the firmware from Sammobile and flash it with Odin.
I did it and it seem to work perfectly, download the latest version G950FXXSADTI1_G950FOXMADTI1_ITV, my phone is from Italy and bough directly from samsung.
I flashed with Odin 3.14 pointing the 4 files, used the CSC not the HOME one, clean everything, no errors.
I started to install things and after installed most of the stuff I try to add my Credit Cards to Google Pay and it does not let me do it and tell me it is a rooted phone and I could not do add credit cards.
Netflix doesn't even appear on PlayStore to donwload.
Everything works fine, I tried to reflash a couple of times with no success
Only thing strange is when I enter into recovery, it gives me some errors as bellow:
#fail to open recovery cause (no such file or directory)# --> the cause would be me holding keys while starting the phone I believe
Supported API: 3
e: unknow voulme for path [/odm]
e: unknow voulme for path [/vendor]

#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT (no such file or directory)
can't open directory /system/omc/SUP/
....some others similar lines
E:[libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible() firmware info not valid : '/proc/device-tre/firmware/android/compatible: no such file or directory
IF someone can help me here, I appreciate
Solved, just closed the bootloader.. Silly of me to forget it
Thanks anyway.
Hey, i have recently bought a micro sd card for my phone and after flashing sd it corrumpted and my phone is rooted i used application named : [root] SDFS - Format SDCard i tried to format my sd card but it corrumpt the application shows an strange partition with name ? and no space it shows 0 i'm curious and i clicked format and a few seconds later the phone reboot and goes on recovery and it says :
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
E:Failed to mount /efs: Invalid argument
Supported API: 3
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
dm-verify verification failed. . .
E:[libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid: '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible : No such file or directory
so i don't really understand the situation i reboot system now and it stuck on Samsung Galaxy S8 logo so i managed to flash it with latest firmware with frija and odin but odin says pass! and on the phone goes on recovery and is the same situation
And cannot flash TWRP because the phone is locked on OEM
So i tried:
Flash older version fail because binary is not correct
Samsung Kies and smart switch cannot be used because "the phone cannot be initialised" (SM-G950F)
i followed this guide: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mpatible-firmware-info-was-not.3936625/page-2) so i extract AP file and rename Boot.img.lz4 to Recovery.img.lz4 and it started on the samsung logo and the blue led but that's all
and i upload somes images of the recovery and the bootloader
