Failed to install Aroma file manager on Samsung S5

Hello. This is my first post on this forum so please correct me should i post this in the wrong cathegory or use wrong tags etc
I followed the straight-forward guide i find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Using the recovery mode on a Samsung S5 i have the option to "Apply update from external storage" and i find the .zip file under this tab and if i try to apply the update i get the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've been trying this three times but i get the same error. I tried to search if other experienced the same problems but i found no similar threads.
Fyi this is on a non-rooted S5. It belonged to my grandmother which recently passed away and we are stuck trying to retrieve the photos on the device and this seemed like the best way. If there is any other way to retrieve these photos from a S5 with a pattern lock i will gladly accept any suggestions USB Debugging is obviously turned off on this phone -_-
Thank you!

You need root, a custom recovery and a terminal emulator as it seems to do this. Btw i`am sorry for your grandmother. Best is to flash a custom recovery with Odin, flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery . Reboot and install a terminal emulator from Play and follow the guide. Turn on usb debugging too.

Thank you for quick response
I am however very new to the the concept of rooting, and im not sure what all those programs you just mentioned are and how i use them
Could you post me a link to what programs i need, and exactly how i use them?

Fastboot says "flashed" but nothing changes.

Hello. Some time ago I flashed stock rom ALE-L21C22B160 and I got blank page in "Motion control" so I went to Huawei site and I downloaded C432B170. Then I extracted boot, recovery and system, then I flashed it without any problems.

}
Then I simply did "fastboot reboot" and my device rebooted with the old firmware, nothing changed at all.

I think you also need to flash to Cust.img

Thanks, it worked, but I can't get proper firmware, I'm always getting one of those:
- blank "Motion control" page
- phone getting into rescue mode due to some problem with boot.img
Can you give me a link to firmware that actually works and has motion control? Thanks.

It says "Attention! Please update system again Error! Func NO : 11 (recovery image) Error NO : 2 (load failed!)". Oh man, is there any hope for me? :crying:

did you unlock the bootloader ? and enabled USB bedugging ? ( sorry if it's stupid question )
any way , here is a thread that you do not need to flash with fastboot via commands ( C432B052 Rom version ) , it will automatically do the job , and i think it would work fine for you , and also if you want to have marshmallow , you can simply follow the reste of the thread

}
2. Extract ZIP package with app desired or use a desktop, then place files onto phone
3. install the APK, and ignore any warning pop-ups
4.Open the app upon completion of app
5. You will be presented with the main screen saying no root avaliable, CLICK ON TRY TO ROOT
6. App will now start executing root
*May be slow so give it time
*Make sure to allow blocked apps if presented with a pop-up
7.If all went well you will be presented with a ROOT SUCCESSFUL screen OR phone will restart and you will have root
***At this point DO NOT request or run any apps that require root until the device is restarted.
8. Enjoy Root!
-If root is not accessible upon restarting, go into KingUser Su and click on REPAIR ROOT
-I do not know how to replace KingUser with SuperSU Sorry!
Goodluck!

Hello....can u help me

Gapps is bugged / TWRP does not recognize its own backup (x722)

hello, I require your help to operate my cell phone, I'll tell you step by step what I've done... [it is obvious that my native language is not English]
first, i installed TWRP following this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
second, backup the complete system with twrp 3.1.1-0 (O.S. 5.8.0.20S Stable, android 6.0.1, Banggood international version). This left me a folder full of files which twrp does not recognize when I want to install that backup again.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
third, Install the ROM by following this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...ent--and-mods/stock-eui-5-8-20s-x722-t3680624 Something seems strange to me that when I run the .bat, the phone reboots in a couple of seconds and the only change I see is that it installs the original recovery, since everything else stays the same, even the system version (EUI version: 5.8.001D (Dev))
Finally install S.U. official (all correct), and OpenGApps, use the Stock and Nano (ARM64, Android 6.0) versions, and both show error when starting the system,
does not allow me to do anything (attached image).
So here I am, with a new cellphone, without being able to restore the copy made with twrp, using a EUI developer version, and without being able to install the Gapps.
---I would greatly appreciate your help---

I have just solved my problem, since after installing my TWRP backup (which I was taught a little recently), It could not start because asked for a false password, then, without deleting anything, i installed from fastboot the ROM X722-5.8.020S-by-Batyan, that is here in xda, and arranged.
