Hi
Today my friend deleted whatsapp on her J5 and reinstalled it. After reinstalling she realized that it wouldn't show any backups to restore from
So I took the phone and wanted to recover a possibly deleted backup. Thus I tried to root the phone. First I installed TWRP via Odin, and then in TWRP I flashed the SuperSU.
Now when I power the phone on it shows on top of the screen: "Set warranty bit: kernel". And after the samsung comes up it shows "verification failed. Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed..."
I think my mistake was that I didnt remove the google account before trying to root the phone...
I now made a backup from the phones memory using TWRP, but the backup didnt include the data partition because it says it couldnt be found.
Is there anything I can do to recover at least photos, videos and documents from the phone?

Hello, it's 2nd day and I don't have phone.
Tried to encrypt with lollipop, it failed and now what ever I do it starts with the "encryption failed" screen.
I formated everything, reflashed, restorer from backup, tried both twrp and cwm recoveries
nothing worked.
anyone has any solutions?

Maybe this post can help you:

Make sure to select format. That's something different then wipe.
Thanks for the reply, but nothing worked.
Finally the only solution was to go stock.
Downloaded the stock lollipop for odin, flashed partitioned etc and rebooted
Of course the "encryption failed" error came up again,
but this time the stock recovery managed to wipe the encryption.
from there I start from scratch, new recovery, new root, new setup
and then restore from backup.
My new job has high risk of "loosing" my phone so I could really use the encryption, for all my sensitive data.
apparently it is not working.
The problem is the custom rom? the custom kernel? the custom recovery?
I am trying to reinstall the original system and data onto my S5. I had Cyanogenmod on it, but before I installed CM12, I made a backup of {System, Boot, Data, Modem} as they existed with the stock system using TWRP.
I restored the partitions from my TWRP backup. Now when it boots, after the Samsung animation is shown, I am presented with a screen that says "Device memory damaged" (see attached image).
If I click the "Reset device" button, it boots into TWRP and attempts to clear some data. I assume it's not working because Samsung's stock recovery is supposed to do some magic that TWRP isn't capable of?
I have tried to clear the cache partition, and also tried to restore the data from backup more than once. The MD5 check on my backup files passes. Any ideas?
flash with correct pit and try to root, install cwm/twrp, restore your backup rom
I got it sorted out. I had to use Odin to flash the stock rom, which I downloaded from a questionable source online.
Hello,
Today I tried to root my Nova and somehow I managed to delete the system while doing that. I don't know how or when, I did wipe the phone at some point, but left system unchecked. So now it is stuck in an endless boot, I just see the orange "Your phone is unlocked and not safe etc" message, nothing more. I can access TWRP and fastboot, and tried to use the LineageOS 13. But it failed, it told me I need a CAN-model, and mine is "generic_a53". So I figured I'll just put EMUI back on it, but I can't seem to find a working version for my phone. The huawei-website is pretty useless in that regard, they don't offer it. And the HiSuite-recovery just said that my model is not supported anymore.
So.. help? I know I screwed up and should have made a full backup, but I never figured I'd screw this up so spectacularly.
EDIT: Okay, I just clicked on "Backup" in TWRP, out of curiosity, and it said that "System" is 2516mb, but "Data" is 0mb, so maybe that's what's lacking?
Seems you are using the wrong TWRP. Use the one made for lineage. Also, what is your exact model number, you should be able to recover that way. My guess is you wiped data, factory reset, or formatted data. You could try using the backup made by bluesmoothie to restore data. You will have to search around this forum as I can't remember exactly which thread it is in.

Just like @wangdaning said, you're using wrong TWRP.
If you wanna flash LOS13, you gotta flash the TWRP mentioned at requirements.
It told you that your model is "generic_a53" because you're using "twrp_huawei_generic_a53.img".
To restore your phone, try to restore the backup made by bluesmoothie.
1) Download the TWRP backup (emui 4.1) made by @bluesmoothie from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qrk0fbpn...ffYdia7raa/TWRP/BACKUPS/FPFDU16930014596?dl=0 . I had to download the files one by one, as I couldn't download the whole folder because dropbox was telling me that it's too big. After you've downloaded all the files from backup, put them in a folder named 1970-03-18--16-40-58_CANC432B100.
2) Download this recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120713827 , which is made by @Grarak.
3) Make a backup of boot.img so a folder will be created at TWRP > BACKUPS (e.g. FPFDU16A20001907).
4) Place the TWRP backup folder into the folder created at step 3). So, it'll be like this: TWRP > BACKUPS > FPFDU16A20001907 > 1970-03-18--16-40-58_CANC432B100.
5) Restore the backup.
Okay, it was the wrong TWRP, now that I flashed the recommended one, I was able to install LOS13, and now everything is working again. Thank you very much guys!
Hi,
I have a galaxy note 4 that isn't rooted but has TWRP 2.8.5 installed. I wanted to factory data reset the device, however, I was getting the error that it was unable to mount /data. I read on XDA that I had to format data. I clicked on format data and typed in yes.
I got the message "Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function. You may need to reboot recovery to be able to use /data again. Updating partition details ... done". I see the status as "Data Format Complete Successful".
I rebooted the device, and I know the OS loaded, but I was greeted with the error "Encryption failed, cannot decrypt your device storage. You need to reset your device to factory default settings". And a reset device button. I click on the reset device button, it boots me to recovery and runs a script and again reboots to the previous error.
I tried to factory data reset it now, although it showed as successful, I was directed to the same error.
Can you please advise what should be done?
Thank you
Any update? Thanks

You will need to take your device to a Samsung Service Centre and let them take a look at it. However seeing as you have TWRP 2.8.5 there is a chance that they won't help you. What you should have done is decrypt your device then perform a hard factory.
Are you able to go to download mode and reflash OS?
My device is not rooted. Will I be able to reflash a new OS? Please let me know. Thanks!

No root required and it will not void your warranty and will not trip knox. You can download the the right version of OS from Sammobile site and flash it via odin in download mode. There are several guides available for it.
Hello
I have recently set a fingerprint backed up with password, which was random that I forgot few minutes later. After rebooting my phone, It asked me for the backup password and I couldn't remember.
I have G935F. Unrooted and I was not successful with rooting it and installing TWRP.
I have been getting an error from Odin saying "Fail" after attempting to flash TWRP Recovery.
I want at the first place remove the password; if possible, else I'd like to hear any suggestions from you to recover the files at least and then reset the phone to factory settings.
Thanks in advance
