E: signature verification failed lava

sir,

sorry to diturb you... i am new in android internals...and was hoping to root my mobile

it was easy to root my previous samsung gt-b5330 using odin... but my new mobile lava iris 349+ is giving me hard time to root it..

i searched a lot for this... and eventually found ur thread.. i did all as u said... but my problem comes while applying the update.zip...when i do so, the log says E: signature verification failed, installation aborted.. also i cannot find any proper adb driver for my mobile.. it works only with a tool called moborobo.. and adb detects it... but fastboot never detects it..

i tried opening the bootloader/recovery mode using physical buttons.. and applied my update.zip... but same error shows...

i formatted my mobile several times but nothing happend..

searched google a lot but no help was found

plz help me as rooting is the most basic part of flashing as i have learned from ur thread..

thank you for your help (if possible)

It is impossible to flash a zip file that isn't signed by the carrier or the phone manufacturer (and possibly Google). Follow this guide ( http://mobileindiaroot.blogspot.com/2013/10/root-lava-iris-349.html?m=1) to root. It should work. Then you just need to find a custom recovery for your device.
[XDA-University] demkantor:
Hi,

The E: signature verification... Is due to not having a signed zip but I don't think this will matter, just took a quick look in Google and this seems to be the guide to root

http://mobileindiaroot.blogspot.com/2013/10/root-lava-iris-349.html?m=1

Hope it works for you!
[XDA-University] subroto1427:
I did everything as d site says...

Installed pdaNet+ and tried rootin wid the .bat file the site was recommending...this was one of d procedure dey provided...but was unsuccessful...

First pda never detected my mobile on adb...so i came back to moborobo pc suit again whch btw detects it on adb...bt still 1st procedure failed...i can provide u the log if needed..

Second procedure was to install srsRoot.exe... but it dint work as well...

Actually i thnk its due to my slow network as at 4th exploitatn it was trying to reinstall my drivers via net..but it failed..

Anyways I've lost my hope n am thinkin to download a stock rom available at androidxda.com and flash it as given on the site...i thnk dis wud hlp in my driver detection properly... bt still can u give any manual way to root my device such as makin my own tool r smthn.. it wud hlp me learn rootin as well...just provide me sm links to resources( that wud b a great hlp from u all)...

Thnk u for ur time...

Edited:

1) Log for First procedure: log1.txt

2) Log for Second procedure: log2.txt

[XDA-University] demkantor:
Well being there isn't a direct forum for your device and I have never seen it myself the best place to ask how to root is the general q&a section found here

Hope someone will be able to assist, best of luck!

Root Complete

Thanks a lot Sir,

Actually i went to ur given link and found a forum on Lava iris X1. and Rooted my mobile using VRoot (http://www.mgyun.com/vroot)...

But i am still a bit curious about how did that happen...can u provide me some reference on how does ROOTING works??:D

Will follow ur guides to learn edify and flashing...

Thank you

:fingers-crossed::laugh:
[XDA-University] demkantor:
well every rooting process varies a bit, for the most part there is an exploit that a piece of software or code takes advantage of.

The various OEMs will try to lock down their device, sometimes they make it vary difficult and sometimes there is no need for anything extravagant.

In your case I'm not sure what the process was exactly but I'm sure it allowed you to install superuser and busybox allowing for root access.

If you want I'm sure I can dig up examples of code for you, but again there are many different exploits depending on the device

Hope you enjoy all XDA has to offer!
[XDA-University] subroto1427:
If u can take out some time for this, then that wud be gratefull...

By the way, i dint get u. Actually if u r sayin that OEM's apply these locks then to find any exploit we must have their source code right.

well that would be difficult, i say.

Anyways, Yes this rooting did copied the 'su' binary in my '/system/bin', but im not sure about the busybox, as busybox was already present before rooting in '/system/xbin'. Instead of SuperSU it installed KingUser...

Can i remove KingUser and install SuperSu widout sacrificing my root privileges?

And also (sorry for this long Question Bank here), Is it good if i go wid CWM as my bootloader recovery, since i havnt found any forum related to my specific mobile (rooting was also trial/error)? How can i be sure that it wont brick my mobile...

Thank you again for taking out time for me

adb pull /data/app

[MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION]

I checked a couple of adb guides, but I am apparently issuing the pull command incorrectly. I can get a single file to pull. However, I am unable to pull the /data/app or /data/app-lib folders with all contents. I have done this by opening a terminal within the destination folder without designating the remote path. I have also entered the complete path of the remote folder. The commands I am issuing are:

dawgdoc@jrw-lts17c ~/android/sgs3Apps/app $ adb pull /data/app
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.

Hi

Try granting root permission first

adb pull /data/app ~xxxxxwherever/on/pc
[XDA-University] dawgdoc:
I had originally considered that but didn't try it since the command worked with a single file.

I just tried su and then sudo su with no success. I'll keep working on it, thank you for replying.

___________________________________________

I tried opening the terminal from the folder where the adb package is installed. I received the same response about adb not being installed upon trying to execute adb as root/su. I tried this even though it should not have been necessary since the path to adb is in $PATH
[XDA-University] demkantor:
Try doing this through recovery as it is possible that your kernel isn't allowing for this, often a custom recovery like twrp or cwm will allow pull as root
[XDA-University] dawgdoc:
I succeeded, but I doubt I did it exactly as you intended.

I rebooted into recovery, TWRP. From there I went to the Advanced Menu and copied the two directories, /data/app and /data/app-lib, to my external card. (That was the part where I think I deviated from what you intended.) I next rebooted the phone and then used adb to pull the directories to my laptops harddrive.

Thank you.

Now I am off to create a flashable zip to use in re-installing apps after changing from CM10.1.3 to 10.2 on my ancient Captivate. Once I have accomplished that I expect to be doing the same for my SGS3, I will be going from a 4.3 to 4.4.2 rom around January.
[XDA-University] demkantor:
Hi,

Its hard to say for sure where the trouble was without being there but I can say the signing was fine, that was just to allow easy flash through recovery

Corruption too is also unlikely

Some apps don't play nice, you need to experiment. Sometimes you need the libs, sometimes not

The insufficient space is hard to say, best guess is there really was insufficient space. A great app to check what is where on your device is diskusage

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
[XDA-University] dawgdoc:
I see I forgot to attach the text file of the terminal returns for df and /proc/partitions, which indicated used and free space.

All seems to be working after removing the questionable apks and libs. I have installed those apps, plus more from the Play Store. Which would indicate that I am now using more space than before. I will test all of this again if I change roms on the Captivate. And, I will definitely be testing this when I upgrade the SGS3 to a KK rom.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] interestingfellow:
I upgraded with a cooked rom, and want to know how to make new folders or catagories in the "programs" folder off of the start menu. For instance, I used the "create misc folder" from stephans kitchen and would like to create additional folders, such as office and accessories inside the programs folder.

If I create or copy the items/folders I want into the //windows/programs dir, nothing appears when I open progs folder off the start menue.

I have them on the start menu as items to launch, but would also like them to appear in the "programs" link off the start menu.

Any ideas?????
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
so you want folders in the start bar like in windows ?

or do you just want dirs in your program files dialog when you open it ?

i recall some program which made the start bar work like it does in windows and it was pure agony to use
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] merlin_uk:
You need to create your folders under //Windows/Start Menu/ these will then be displayed on your start menu.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] interestingfellow:
I'm an idiot.

Ignore this thread.

But thank you for the help, you made me look a little differently, and I saw the err of my ways!(I only put my custom folders into the start menu, not into the start menu/programs/ dir)

Are you using the built-in tethering app? Do you ever get redirects to the t-mobile upsell page when you use tethering on your computer?

For me, I can't even connect on my computer without either using Opera Browser or a UA-String change in Firefox. But I cannot do anything to make the PS3 not detect that I'm on t-mobile and block my connection. The PSN connection just "times out" because t-mo is blocking it.

I have had similar issues tethering my PS3.

Carrier: T mobile 70/month unlimited plan

Phone: Nexus 4

Initially, tethering worked for all PS3 applications (PSN, browser, netflix, system update). Then, they blocked PSN activity after a month or so. A few months later they blocked browser, but I could still use netflix and do system updates. Now nothing works. I have tried to use a wifi repeater in between the PS3 and Nexus 4 but still no dice, though I did not experiment too much with settings?

Id love to get my PS3 back online.

You guys really shouldn't use your phone data's download to download updates or games. Just use it to play online. It doesn't use up bandwidth to play.

reset your phone from recovery

Did You Try everything?!!! Now if you could boot in the CWM recovery mode ( Vol D + Vol up + home + Power) you can enter the CWM recovery mode. then from the backup and restore; restore your earlier system if you have a back up.

If not then download official ROM image for sammobile and flash it in your rom. that shoud get it working.

IMPORTANT:

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE CWM DON'T WORRY THE COMBINATION KEY WOULD BOOT YOU TO THE MOBILE RECOVERY MODE AND FROM THERE YOU HAVE TO RESET YUR DEVICE BY SELECTING PROPER OPTIONS. DON'T PLAY WITH THAT TOO MUCH!!

You'll be needing to flash the Gapps package in order to get the Play Store.

So i was not satisfied with that rom so i wanted to switch to cyanogen official so i tryed to do this by geting the rom from offical cyanogen websiter and im sure it was the rite rom it was villa for htc one s nightly and i used cmw recovery to flash this i also cleared catch and data wipe before i flashed this ROM and it said it installed and next thing u no it i soft bricked my phone. the htc splash screen came then the rest was black screen and flashing home buttons thankfully i fixed this issue by using the offical recovery and mounting cd and using a diffrent ROM. So i really want this official Cyanogen 10,1 rom however it seems compliacted to get on from the other ROMS and i was wondering idf someone can give me some instructions and download links to get this ROM on my phone.

Looks okay, but there's nothing really groundbreaking about it, or anything that's a real advantage over android considering the customisation you can do with android, or am I missing something?

I had a look at a couple of demo videos for it but I can't see any great things about it that would make me want to change OS. I've already got a hidden status bar(expanded desktop), on off toggles for things I like to be able to quickly switch(quick settings), and nice looking customised home screens.

Controlling apps from their multitasking thumbnails was the only real new thing I saw, and about the only use for that is pausing music or skipping tracks (which was obviously the way it was demonstrated in their videos, because it's pretty much the only use for such a feature). With any other app you need to be able to see what you're doing, so even that is a bit pointless.
