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

Hello!
Yes, I am fairly new to this, but not a noob by any means. I've been upgrading ROM's for a long time, albeit Windows mobile.
I have rooted my Hero - confirmed by installing several ROOT only apps from the market, and accessing commands from su, # prompts.
I can't seem to upgrade my [otherwise stock] Sprint hero despite trying different approaches.
Hugely frustrating, a history of my attempts:
I copied the latest backup recovery file 1.5.2 to the root of my SD card.
I have installed ADB tools
So I open a command prompt and go into Android SDK/tools:
adb shell
su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/ [recovery file name]
I then type 'reboot recovery' the phone reboots and I have the screen with phone image and large triangle with yellow '!' in it.
I hold 'HOME' and 'END' togerther to access menu of system recovery utility and I can only select 3 options:
reboot system now [Home+back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S] * see below)
wipe data/factory rest [Alt+w]
At the bottom of the screen I have the error (which I have investigated and found that no-one seems to be able to explain, yet it doesn't seem to hinder most folks in flashing roms):
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I initially expected to have MORE options as the first thing I wanted to do was create a Nandroid backup, but gave up on trying to do this!
*So I rename the fresh 1.1 rom zip to 'update.zip' and copy to the root of my SD card.
I 'reboot recovery' again, my phone restarts, I choose the 'Apply SDCard:update.zip' option and then it begins to install:
Install from sdcard....
Finding update package....
Opening update package....
Verifying update package....
E:No signature (599 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
I've tried updating different ROM's with similar negative results - and yes, I have checked the MD5 to ensure ROM's are 'good'
Ideas?
BTW - I still also have the error:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Get the fresh kitchen and run the auto root feature.
I would agree get the kitchen try the auto root because to me it sounds like there was a problem in your root process. screen that you are getting into is just the fastboot also what I have found to make life easier is rename the RA-Recovery-heroc-1.5.2.img to just recovery.img makes my life a whole lot easier as I mess with my phone so much I have had to RUU several times and that just makes rooting manualy a little faster.
As far as installing the Fresh ROM, I know I had an issue because I was using a MAC and when I downloaded the Zip file, the MAC would unzip it. I finally had to download the Zip file right to my phone and it worked fine.

That's because you aren't supposed to unzip a rom.
I saw someone mention this problem earlier but searched for it and can't seem to fnd the particular thread. Copied the file to my phone, renamed it update.zip, etc.
Ran it to update from SD Card, and it gives me an error: " Assert failed, apply_patch_check("/system/bin/playlogo") Then a huge random string of numbers.
I'm running stock rom but with noobs one click root...any suggestions?
Under it also says: E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Nobody?

Hello!
I'm trying to find out where to see a list of parameters I can use in there.
I'm using the ClockworkMod recovery (even if I think it's just universal that part), but if I write in that cache file "boot-recovery --nandroid" nothing happens when I reboot into recovery, if I set just "--nandroid" it says "E: invalid arguments"...
What I want to achieve is to execute a nandroid backup and then one or more update zip files. Is it possible?
Thanks!
no one has any idea?
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]

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.
Hi,
I am trying to install the latest Lineage version on my Samsung Nexus 10 via twrp, but so far it always immediately fails with
Error E1001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-17.1-20220318-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip'
I tried wiping the entire system, cache and all and I tried both the adb push method and sideloading adb and they all produce the exact same error.
This is my first time doing this type of thing, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am currently running Windows 10, but could boot into a Linux Live Medium if that would be useful.
Edit: I was following this tutorial for the setup.
I'm facing exactly the same issue here with the installation of `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` file.
I'm currently on the latest original Google Android ROM flashed with `image-mantaray-lmy49j.zip` and want to update the system to the lineage OS as above.
I'm using TWRP v3.6.2_9.
What I did:
- uploaded `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` to `/sdcard` location;
- wiped out `dalvik-cache` and `cache` partitions;
- tried to install `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` as a single installation file;
Got this error. Here is an output from recovery.log:

I'd the same problem with twrp but does did successfully for version 16 installation. I tried the above listed way but failed again. Same thing happened even I unchecked the system in twrp before flashing again. Need expert to help fix the issue. Appreciate in advanced!

Not enough space on /system. Resize the partition. After 17.1 is running for me. https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32750.html
Thanks a lot Daniel! I will try your way.
