My tablet is Lenovo yoga tab 3 plus, I have rooted my tablet, and after downloading the update, an error occured, and here is the log:

I think if we can bypass verification, we can install update while the device is rooted.
Any can help us?

So the easiest way is to restore the boot and system partition to the original S000725 version using fastboot and then install the update, but only if you are on S000725 now. If you are sure that you didn't modify the system partition (any root app installed system less) then the boot partition is sufficient. Flashing these two partitions will not delete your apps and settings.
Here is what to do:
Download the factory image S000725 for your tablet (see first post of TWRP thread) and make sure your current software version is S000725
Extract it and get the boot.img and system.img files
restart into fastboot mode (e.g. via adb reboot bootloader, or restart the tablet with volume up key pressed)
Execute fastboot on your PC connected to the tablet with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If the system partition was modified you will have to do the same for system
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If TWRP is flashed you also have to restore the recovery partition
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can also install the factory image via the supplied flash tool. But we're not 100% sure it is safe wrt. DRM keys
Sometimes the flashing of such large partitions as the system partitions can fail in which case you have to do it again until it works. If you run into a bootloop after flashing the boot.img your system partition is not original and you have to flash the system.img again
EDIT: Ok I see you are on S000691 in which case you need a factory image of that version

Thank you！
I'm wondering whether I have to root again after restoring the boot and system partitions.
I got the OTA update package, can I flash it directly via recovery? I have rooted my tablet.

Well first unroot by flashing boot and system, then install update in Lenovo recovery. Yes it's possible to do that. Then when the update installed successfully you can root again with TWRP and SuperSU.
brothers, I skipped system verifying by editing updater-script, but the OTA still failed because signature verifying failed.
Anyone knows how to skip signature verifying?
If we can skip that, we may install ota update package manually while the device is rooted.

hi! how can i make a backup of my currently partitions (before rooting and so on) to make possible flash them back with "fastboot flash ..."?
is the command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/sdcard1/system.img
makes the image compatible with "fastboot flash ..." command? or i have to convert it somehow?
P.s. yes i know about restoring with command "dd if=/sdcard1/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", but i want to have other ways to retreat

In TWRP (via adb or TWRP terminal) you can use the command that you listed to make backups of existing partitions. The system partition is a bit special though. The dd command will give you the raw partition image. Fastboot, however, expects the system partition in sparse format. To convert you need the tool "img2simg".
The other partitions are expected in raw format by fastboot.
Unless you have a special firmware version you don't have to create these backups since we have factory images which contain exactly these partition images. Boot, recovery and system partitions are the same for all devices with the same device variant and software version.

Hello,
Tried "adb reboot bootloader" but it only stuck with Lenovo logo. So I tried to flash boot.img using app.
Now stuck with boot loop. Manage to go into Recovery Mode - Is there any way I could restore anything from Recovery? .zip

Hi guys,
I got n OTA update. I only did the root process from https://forum.xda-developers.com/th...ta-twrp-root-disable-encryption-yoga-t3538017 before.

The fastboot mode (bootloader) only shows the Lenovo logo. So this is expected. If you get a bootloop you also have to flash system.img via fastboot. So do the adb reboot bootloader again and use fastboot tool on the PC to do the flashing

Same thing. Your system partition is not original that's why you have the boot loop. You have to flash the original version via fastboot.

Since I already flashed boot.img yesterday, continue with system & recovery. I didn't know that Download mode will only shows Lenovo logo. Normally it will shows what running on the background. Did as told and manage to recover. Sadly I've wiped cache & data in Recovery yesterday, now back to square 1. But at least better than bricked device. Thank you.

the only way that my tablet can to be recognized in my computer is with sideload. I'll try with that method.
thxs!!
PS: I used at the end the Multiflashtool and now my tablet works perfectly
if someone has the parallel problem, here is the solution: http://www.mediafire.com/download/58upc51o93ux2f4/Archivo+StargetDawn.rar
just install and execute the multiflash program.

Well it seems you have to request the backup again. system.ext4 is a file based backup. This will not restore to a 100% original system image. The person who provided this for you has to run it again and select "system image" instead of "system" when creating the backup. This will then be a binary copy of the system partition.
Once you have that you should create a backup using TWRP on your own device with boot and system image selected onto an external SD card. Don't forget to boot TWRP with system left read only. Then you replace the *.win* files (also the .md5 files) on you SD card with ones you get from this person files. Then reinsert the SD card into the tablet and select restore in TWRP. Then the two partitions should be original if the person you got them from didn't modify it somehow.
I am not sure which format TWRP uses to store these partition images but if the above doesn't work we'll figure out how to extract it.

hello iam on s000689 and i have a hard time trying to find that recovery image... can i just you S000725 and then not have OTA updates?
When I try to wipe internal it says
Code:
Wiping internal storage -- /data/media...
Error opening: '/data/media' (No such file or directory)
When I try to format instead - I get even more errors:
Code:

Is this because of encryption? And if so - this is weird because I never encrypted my device. I currently have no OS and just trying to unsoftbrick my phone.

Use fastboot and make sure you are using the latest binaries. Format system, userdata and cache. Upon booting for the first time, the 6P automatically defaults to encryption- unless you intervene and stop it from doing so.

Yes I'm using the latest binaries - I got them via Android SDK and updated everything. I checked the ones you linked and they are exactly the same.
Regarding the hash check - this has nothing to do with the file being corrupted. This happens with ANY file I try to flash.
I tried putting the TWRP img in my fastboot folder and the results are the same.
Erasing the recovery partition gives the same error.

Were you able to successfully fastboot format userdata, system and cache with no errors? Did you get the same error using format as you did erase recovery? Is your phone bootlooping ? If yes, then your phone may have the BLOD. There are a few instances of users still having access to recovery mode, but not being able to flash anything. If you flash a full stock image with flash-all.bat, it finishes but the phone still loops then you likely have the BLOD.

I don't know if my phone is bootlooping because I don't have OS installed and my internal storage is squeaky clean.

It sounds to me like your internal storage (memory) is bad. Bottom line is that if you can't format your basic partitions successfully, you will not be able to flash a full ROM. If you don't believe your memory is bad, you can search the 6P forums for the Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) & EDL mode. There is a rescue binary for the 6P floating around that some people have been successful in using restoring corrupt partitions, presumably because it works at the hardware level.

What should I do from now on? I have no idea what to do. The device has been bricked for 24 hours now.
This is the closest I've found to my problem. Also on a Nexus 6P. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/zip-file-signature-verification-error-t3561054
I tried adb reboot edl and it says error: closed. So not even that works.

Stock fastboot does not support boot to EDL. You need a modified fastboot, BUT getting to EDL mode won't help you until you have all the proper tools and 6P specific files. I don't want to get your hopes up. I think your device is not recoverable due to a hardware issue (bad memory). If you are looking for a learning project to keep you busy with very little hope of success, keep digging. If you need a working phone, you need to buy another one, or a 6P replacement motherboard from a screen damaged parts phone. Unfortunately, there have been many onboard memory failures on the 6P.
I fixed the problem. It turned out to be a faulty USB-C to USB-A cable. The only problems were with file transfer-related commands. I then tried transferring a 1 kb file, then 1 mb (failed) then 200kb, then 300kb (failed). So it turns out the cable is ****ty. Wow. And nothing is corrupted. I'm typing this from my phone now.
Greetings everyone, I just got a new XT1640. I installed on it the ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml ROM from here. Went to motorola's site and unlocked the phone. But I still can't flash TWRP.
this is what happens:

@yohanleafheart
Why do you want to brick your device ?
Check the command that you are entering, "BOOT" ???? That's "RECOVERY"
write command: fastboot flash recovery xyz.img
(Refer any Recovery or flashing thread)
EDIT:
When you used "fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
you got OKAY at last,
That means you flashed Recovery into Boot/kernel !!
If you face any kernel related problem on startup, then you will need to get original Boot.img and flash it...
Haha hey bro be careful while using commands .. u gonna poision your phone
In addition to ____Mdd's reply about TWRP being flashed to your boot (i.e. kernel!) partition, which isn't good...
The 'Image not signed or corrupt' error is normal because TWRP isn't cryptographically signed, so the bootloader reports as so. Normally, if you see [OKAY], the flash has succeeded (though in your case it's succeeded flashing to the wrong partition...) and you'd boot to recovery to ensure TWRP is not overwritten by the stock recovery (after which you can boot as normal).
If you need a stock kernel, you can pull the boot.img from the stock ROM you have and flash that to the boot partition or find the stock kernels here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72378739&postcount=262
Hopefully your device is working!
Gaaaaaaaaah didn't realize I was flashing to the wrong partition. Zomfg.
It didn't brick, i reverted to the stock before booting and relock the bootloader. I don't want the stock, I want to flash loa (did this on my s5 normally)
The problem is that even using the right command, it says that it is not signed, and wglhen I reboot in Dev mode it still won't boot on TWRP. It goes back to fastboot.
Any ideas?
Hi Guys,
I have finally successfully flashed a phh AOSP 8.1 provided in the following thread to Lenovoz5
Before proceeding, here are the basics,
Do not Ever ever ever EVER flash zui_3.9.075_Z5_L78011_multi
Bootloader needs to be unlocked only if you wantto flash custom Android 9.0 Pie roms,
If you want to stick to stock Lenovo rom, then you do not need to unlock bootloader.
If you start your phone and it says "Your device is corrupt" then your phone has zui_3.9.075_Z5_L78011_multi.
This rom is a dirty version of stock rom, that Chinese sellers sells your phone with. This is not the original rom.
Always use "L78011_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00016.0_O_ZUI_3.9.075_ST_180605_qpst" for unlocking bootloader, 075, this version is the only version that allows unlocking bootloader.
With other versions like L78011_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00016.0_O_ZUI_4.0.390_ST_180809_qpst, L78011_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00016.0_O_ZUI_4.0.200_ST_180809_qpst
This option is hidden by manufacturer under Developer options.
If you start your phone and you dont get option to activate via Wifi or Network, then your phone doesnt have stock rom and it has been tweaked by your seller.
Here is the download link for stock rom, do not use the rom that has _multi in its name.

If you get Sahara error when flashing through QFIL
1) Make sure your phone is in edl mode, follow the video for that
2) Make sure the config is correctly set in Settings within QFIL
3) Try changing USB ports on your PC, It only works on USB 2.0, will throw error on USB 3.0 and 3.1
Make sure you go through this thread, each and every question is answered already.
If you have any questions, make sure to list out everything you did and what you are trying to do,
My phone doesnt start
I cant proceed
I cant flash
I am stuck
I cant unlock bootloader
This doesnt help, please post full description with screenshots , what you have done to your phone after your received it from your seller, what you want,
Google the basics, bootloader unlocking, stock rom, custom rom, Android 8.0, Android 9.0 etc
I have created Lenovo z5 group on telegram, pls post there if you have any questions, i dont check xda, but i will respond on telegram whenever i can.
Check out this video on how to flash using qfil
https://youtu.be/TdkNaKpiiUw
Go through this thread and read all the posts, most of your questions is probably already answered.
I would recommend if you are not good at flashing then back up all partitions on external sd card. (WIFI and data working now )
To backup stock partitions,
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP through fastboot
3. Boot to TWRP and do a full back up of all partitions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
All the credits for the rom goes to developers in that thread, i have only flashed it to Lenovo z5.

Step 1: Flash stock version L78011_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00016.0_O_ZUI_3.9.075_ST_180605_qpst using qfil mentioned earlier in this thread
(After flashing this stock rom, if your phone goes in to boot loop then don't worry about it, continue with the rest of the process)
Step 2:Unlock bootloader (This will void your warranty) (unlocking command: fastboot flashing unlock)
Step 3: boot to bootloader
Flash with the following commands.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
3. fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
4. fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
5. fastboot -w flash system_a system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img
6. fastboot -w flash system_b system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img
7. fastboot flash boot twrp.img
8. Once twrp is flashed, do not turn off or restart your phone, press volume down twice, select option boot to recovery
9. Flash superuser flash file(mentioned above)
10. Do not clear any data or cache, we already did that, Start and Enjoy!
After completing these steps please wait for about 25 to 30 mins

Imp:
If you have flashed one of these Roms, and you can boot in to it successfully, please do not use Factory reset. If you do, then the rom wont boot, since Magisk/SU is installed.
If you still do, then boot to Bootloader, flash vbmeta, boot_a, boot_b, twrp, Magisk(Android 9)/SU(Android 8).
If you have unlocked bootloader, do not relock it, ever

Wooow! A few questions%
Have you tested camera? How is the quality?
Also Android 9 working ok? What is the file.Zip that should be downloaded and flashed from the Pixel Experience list in the second link?
First link of Android 8.1 doesn't work.
Thanks!

Wanna go home quickly and play with my Z5!!!
Thank you for your work!!

Did you tried Google Camera?
Also would you be so kind to explain how to flash another image? For example from AOSP 8.1 to 9.0?or viceversa. Thanks

Of course you enabled camera 2 API right?
Yo rendroid, I managed to get my phone working again (first time in a week, woo hoo!)
Since flashing the system image didn't work with the adb, I put it in my phone's storage and flashed it with twrp.
(Btw, enabling the file extensions to be seen in file explorer didn't help with flashing the system image)
I was actually surprised it worked!
So my phone now has a working rom on it but I have a few problems:
-WiFi and Data not working. (The wifi toggle actually causes the phone to freeze. However, it breaks itself out and crashes the wifi toggle, leaving you to use the phone again)
-This is a minor issue but the notifications aren't cropped right (cut off and stuff)
This honestly has been a major breakthrough for me ( now that my phone isn't a paperweight anymore) and it's all thanks to you and the other devs for your hard work.
If you could help me with the wifi and data issue, that would the final piece to the puzzle and I could stop using my malfunctioning S4.

nice !
now for the wifi and data
i need you to flash the same rom using fastboot not twrp
The File explorer setting was just to see if the file has any extensions. So if you dont see an extension then add .img in the end.
I think there is a bug in twrp that is causing wifi and data to not work.
I have tried flashing the 8.1 and it has given me error in all files by fastboot

Well crap. Just when I thought everything was good. The file does the .img extension but for some reason adb just can't find it even though it's literally in the same folder. I'll try again and let you know.

try this, copy all files directly in adb folder, get rid of folder "Minimal adb drivers", the spaces in that folder name may be the problem.
If that doesnt work then just rename the rom name to rom.img and use that in fastboot command.
Magisk updater installed Magisk & said it needed to make a change to continue the update. I clicked the Reboot button. The phone boots into TWRP. I reboot & it goes into TWRP. Repeat.
How can I recover, preferably w/o losing apps & most preferably w/o losing data like pics?
I'm using Android 9 rooted.

Good suggestions. Came back to phone & found battery ran out. Charged up & now it boot loops to fast mode only. Argh!
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where the recovery image should be renamed 'twrp.img' and placed in the fastboot platform tools folder.
then
fastboot reboot recovery

I see the platform-tools note. I'm on Linux & the adb & fastboot tools are in /usr/bin, not a platform-tools folder.
Found one.
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools$ fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.881s]

hmmmmm
fastboot oem unlock (maybe device relocked when battery rn out)
I was able to get back to TWRP by switching slots. Backup fails because Data is encrypted & TWRP is not prompting for PIN. I'll try using the Magisk uninstaller tomorrow (past bedtime). Long shot.
Open to other approaches. Thanks for your help.

Facing the same authenticate error when trying to boot into twrp.img. I also don't know how useful twrp will be on the other slot if it can't decrypt the data from there so stuck at this stage too.
@kamiller42 Did you manage to resolve this with the Magisk uninstaller?

Nope. I tried getting by by flashing just the boot image. It erased data & everything, so I flash Android 10 again & re-rooted.

Did you flash all partitions?
Is there a way to only flash the boot partition, then boot into twrp.img, flash that, then reboot into recovery to decrypt the data? I care more about recovering my encrypted data than getting the phone working.

That's what I thought. All was lost when I flash boot image. Technically, I flashed the fast boot partition from this post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-stock-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-6t.3862516/
