Hey guys!
I have spent the past 2 days getting this one error and after hours of reading up and trying to get all the facts straight, I just can't figure this one out!
I have cyanogen mod 10
I have Skrillax unlocked bootloader v8
and then I have all the files necessary for Ubuntu and Bodhi. Plus recoveries.
Mostly, I have been trying to follow
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22201465&postcount=351
single post, which works great up until the point of booting! I seem to get an error that says:
"busybox: 'busybox' is not an absolute path Could not find /dev/mmcblk0p7! Dropping to a shell.
sh can't access tty; job control turned off"
(there's more after that but it doesn't seem to pertain to anything of importance that I can tell)
I just can't get over that error! I read about, but it seems like there is some dialog between other users that happened, and the conversation got changed way too fast that I couldn't understand what was going on!
If I am in the wrong area just let me know and I can move, or repost my question on a different thread. I just can't seem to find the direct answer through google, forum search, or even *shiver* Bing.
Thanks for the views, thanks for the help (if you can!).
:angel:
The odd one out!
Looks like you are one of the unlucky owners of A500 with a different file system than most A500. You will probably only be able to use the external card method for now. If some one compiles a new Kernel (recovery) then you will be able to use internel card method. Check the Dual Boot thread in the General section I made a more detailed explanation. Hope that helps
Thanks!

He is referring to the tools from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019223
Aka: KinTwoSetupTool.rar and KUSBDrivers.rar
Some people just now found the thread (only seems like a few noticed it originally) and are curious if they can find anything new (including me). But the links are long dead.
Also, a google search turns up nothing. Only results are the xda thread and Microsoft PMX SPST USB Driver on software informer (to which it says "We don't have this file but you can try googling it" in place of the download button)
Also,
SPSTUSBDriverInstall.msi
PB10ZUnPB20ZU (Lab) Vn.n.n.msi. (Vn.n.n is replaced with version numbers, thus "Vn")
InstallPMXMTP.msi
these files would be of use too (they may or may not of been part of the rar's, but they are pointed out as necessary in the pdf from the original thread)
Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.
Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.
.
It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

I wasn't disagreeing - I've not got any other information to provide currently.
Will try searching the forum more to see if I can find anything else in the meantime.

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.
thanks this helped me a lot

I realised I couldn't boot from sd card because I was creating the boot card through a card reader from this post so that really helped me thanks
"Hey i'd rather you do the work for me" kinda thang is a bit annoying. People are so silly sometimes.
I'd like to be able to read a certain thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856327, titled [REF][R&D] MSM8960 Info, Architecture and Bootloader(s); as such, I have filled out the form suggested at that 'you can't read or post here' page and apparently had my account elevated, but I cannot yet read said thread. I just am looking for information on qfp_fuse.ko kernel module, I compiled it and installed it on my system, but still can't quite read the fuse registers. I promise not to post stupid or inane posts in said thread, I just would like, at the least, 'read only' access.
Searching the forums i've found scattered reports of similar issues but only one possible solution. The fix seemed to work for a few minutes but now can no longer get to work.
Unlocked bootloader and installed vincom's superlite 6.0.1 rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-superlite-mini-mm-v1-0-361mb-g900w8-t3497158. Also flashed the 6.0.1 QL1_MODEM_NON-HLOS and QL1_MODEM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/modem-modems-t3154630. Everything seems to work except mobile data. Phone calls can be placed and received with no problem. Text messages can be received but not sent.
Viewed the Access Point Names (cannot be accessed through the normal settings menu but accessible using the Change Apn app) and can see a variety of Verizon APNs with possibly outdated information (MCC 311 MNC 480)? Attempted to create a new APN using instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61262681&postcount=3 and info at https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/verizon-wireless-apn-settings/ While the APN disappeared, as do any of the other options when the MCC and MNC is changed, the new settings still show up in /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml (as mentioned in https://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ved-in-android)
The first time I created the new APN the LTE icon showed up and i was able to view websites using mobile data and receive text messages. 10 minutes later tried to send a text message and it failed, then noticed that no mobile data was working again. Have tried repeating the previous steps, but still no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated

There's a few things to try to get the APN populated because the APN's are, typically, updated via the Verizon Network.
1) Sometimes if you Toggle the "Preferred network type to/from Global to LTE and restart the device, this sometimes will help with the APN's to get refreshed/updated.
2) I've got Net10 on my G900V and I have had to perform a Chat Session with the Net10 Support people (because I've had better luck with chat versus calling. That's your choice) and asked them if they can perform a Network Refresh for my device on the Verizon Towers. They may ask me to check one or two things that I usually respond with it looks good to get them to do the Network Refresh.
I hope one of these works for you and that I had explained this okay via text.
Good Luck!

Thanks, they've also hidden the network mode settings menu on this version, i'm currently looking up how to change the setting.

The ability to access that specific setting is dependent upon the Firmware ROM installed. The Firmware would have to be developed with this feature.
This should be asked within the "Vincom's Superlite ROM" Thread.
Maybe they have this specific setting located elsewhere on your device...

Thanks, as far as I understand it's a debloated version of the official Verizon 6.0.1 rom, i believe the same settings are hidden on the official version of the rom too. thanks again

I'm not 100% sure regarding the Stock Firmware because I haven't had it on my G900V in quite a long time.
I've got 2 of them and 1 Has CyanogenMod and the other has LineageOS.
If memory serves me correctly (with a lost mind... LOL!) I believe that you may be able to access these options using one of the specific Dialer Codes but, I can't remember what any of them are.
As I had stated before, your best bet is to obtain some member guidance within the Firmware thread your using.
I wish you the best of luck!

Another thing to try is find the boot image from the original rom and flash that. I do believe that requires a custom recovery like twrp. Is their a specific reason youre not using something like LineageOS or Candy Rom? They both have Android Oreo 8.1 versions available.
