Hi,
First time Android user and getting to grips with the whole flashing scene.
Have 1905 Factory unlocked model with 4.3 stock.
My network recently launched 4G but only mobiles bought from them directly recieved the OTA update to enable it.
I was getting frustrated with the battery life aswell so I decided to try install a custom rom - namely one of the google edition 4.4.2 ones.
I have the phone rooted,wiped etc but every time I try to install eitheir of the two custom builds I downloaded I get the "footer is wrong" message twice followed by verification failure. I have renamed the build to update.zip.
Am i missing something obvious here? Is it even possible?
Wrong footer

Hello i have the same issue ,have you fix this problem allready .
And how tell me please .
Hi guys,
I've bought a used s4, and after some time spended knowing the new cell phone I saw on the boot screen "Galaxy GT-I9515L" and start to look for a custom rom to this model. But there isn't any one right?
But there's some weird thing , in the back part of the cell where's located the battery is written model "I9505" and the box that came with it have the same thing, "model "i9505".
But when I tried to install a custom or the original rom for this version using the Odin an error message appears and I can't install. Then I tried to put a original lolipop version to "I9515L" and works fine whitout problems and errors.
So what can it be? Maybe the older owner had put an wrong rom? If so, how can I fix this?
Sorry for my bad English. Hope that you guys can understand and help me.
Thanks
Boot into download mode. There is your model.
Ignore everything else, just look at the download mode.
Hey guys! Thanks for reading.
I was trying to flash stock FW to my phone (SM-G530MU, G530MUUHU1AOA2), but i couldnt do it. I downloaded almost all FW available in SAMMOBILE, but all gave me the auth error in odin.
I thought it was because of the recovery, so i flashed the Phil one. Still no luck.
Then I formatted and wiped through recovery, thinking that would be a good way to have everything to stock.
After that, the phone wont get past the Glaxy Grand Prime logo with androidn at the bottom.
I still cante get ODIN to flash any FW because of that Auth error. Have no idea how to fix it.
Also i tried KIES, but once i enter all infor, it simply says "Failed to run firmware update. Unknown error occured".
So yeah, please help. Dont know what to do. Thanks!
I fixed it! Close this Mods! Finally i went to Samsung and they provided me the original firmware for my model. Thanks
HI all,
So I today I messed up and I need your help :crying:. Basically here's whats going on: I decided to root my phone since I found that battery was complete garbage, so I decided to root the phone with TWRP and Odin and after flash a new kernel for my phone as well as SU. Everything went fine. However, when i tried to reboot my phone to get a custom rom i wanted, it keps telling "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and would be stuck in a boot loop (which apparently is normal and would just need to flash a rom for it to work). Finally I just decided to boot factory, so I can get to my files and put that damn custom rom. Long story short, I was able to put it, wiped system in TWRP and flashed this new rom only to get another error "THis package is for device trltetmo, this device is trltexx". Now I couldnt even factory reset anymore. At this point I decided to flash my back up that I did before and yet ANOTHER problem "cannot restore system mounted read only". After couple of hours of research, I needed to change the name of the file to system.image.mbn i think, I changed a file called system.ext --> system.image.ext. Needless to say that it didnt work. Final thing I decided to do is simply to flash a stock rom with odin and reverse the root, so I downloaded a stock rom for note 4, started the whole process with odin and now it is stuck at system.img.ext4....and i have no clue what to do, I dont know even know what I did before is the problem or it is something else, all i know is that odin is stuck at that message. Should I just let it go, should I stop it? Help! please
Wow, true hardship you get it back running?
Try using Kies and doing firmware upgrade mode to see if it can download and load the stock firmware for that device.
Good evening everyone,
is this the correct Forums part to post questions like this? If not, please tell me where to post, thanks!
As the title says, I bricked my phone. I rooted it some days ago and was trying to unroot it, by installing a stock rom. Since I didn't know how to get the correct Region code, I download a custom ROM which said "everywhere" and guess that was the mistake. I tried to flash it with ODIN, the same way I flashed the custom ROM back then, but ODIN showed an error (which I can't remember). So in the end I pulled the cable and now have an error upon start up which says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". Said software doesn't offer any emergency recovery function.
I can still boot into download mode. I tried to install the custom ROM again, but but ODIN doesn't recognize the phone.
What can I do to fix this? What additional information do you need to provide help?
I thank you in advance for all suggestions and wish you a nice evening!
