Disable driver digital signature verification in Windows 7

How to disable digital signature verification in Windows 7

In Windows 7, there are two essentially identical ways to disable this check, in both cases, to begin with, you will need to run a command prompt on behalf of the Administrator (for this you can find it in the Start menu, right-click and select "Run as Administrator ".

Then, at the command prompt, type bcdedit.exe / set nointegritychecks ON and press Enter (use the same command instead of ON OFF to enable it again).

[IMG="How to disable signature verification in Windows 7"]http://remontka.pro/images/disable-driver-sign-windows-7.png[/IMG]

The second way is to use two commands in order:

1. bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and after the message that the operation was successful - the second command

2. bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Can not you transfer the phone to update mode via ADB?

When the phone is off, simultaneously press these three buttons: Volume UP+POWER+Home

Then in the opened menu select the volume button of the system update from ADB.

P.S. More detailed information will be updated via ADB on the first page of this topic.

[Galaxy S6 Active] Tykers:
I have G890AUCS5CPK3 , and "Find my device" was disabled.

I try update to PK4 but when i go to recovery mode and select ADB update phone says that "Update from external storage is disabled"

above that there is "dm verity filed"

I thing about downgrade to another 6.0.1 but i can't find any for download

the bootloader is looked so i can't downgade to lolipop...

Also i try Smart Switch

Smart Switch - when phone is download mode i select initial softwere, and when i put in serial number - going off - i was try reinstall it, and remove "samsung kies"

when phone is on smart switch says that phone is unsported

I just followed the steps. I had no problems
[Galaxy S6 Active] duhduh52991:
Mine just keeps saying cannot read
[Galaxy S6 Active] FearlessAZ:
Go to the search bar next to the start button. Search cmd. Right click command prompt and run as administrator. The do "adb sideload (navigate to where the firmware.zip file is)". Example: adb sidload c:\adb\firmware.zip
[Galaxy S6 Active] chrisliphart:
I'm on Windows 10, and I keep getting the "cannot read" error. I've tried running as Administrator from the CMD start menu shortcut, right clicking and launching the command prompt from the folder, putting the folder somewhere else, renaming the update file...
[Galaxy S6 Active] FearlessAZ:
Are you doing adb sideload firmware.zip or are you doing adb sideload and the directory to where it's at?
[Galaxy S6 Active] pavijan123:
You should never rename, extract, or change the zip files in any way. If you did, then you must redownload.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Okay, to everybody who sees the "cannot read" error message. I've been looking around and I found a few more possible solutions, please try them and let me know so I can add it to the Troubleshooting Tutorial:

NOTE: Make sure your Windows is set to show file extensions.

Solution 1:

Re-download (you can't use the one you've got!) the file which cannot be read. Don't rename it. Just put it in the ADB folder, copy the file name so you don't have to type it manually, and run the command in ADB -> "adb sideload [name of file]". To paste in Command Prompt you have to Right Mouse Click in the window and choose Paste in the menu. If this solution doesn't work, rename the firmware file to "01" and try "adb sideload 01". If it doesn't work type "adb sideload 01.zip" but don't rename the file, keep it "01".

Solution 2:

Rename the ADB folder to Android and put it in your C:\ drive. Your active directory to ABD must be C:\Android. Then SHIFT + Right click to run Command Prompt from that folder and type "adb sideload [name of file]". If it doesn't work, rename the file to add .zip extension and try again "adb sideload [name of file].zip". If it doesn't work try "adb sideload [name of file].zip.zip".

Solution 3:

If you renamed the file to add a .zip extension (for example FIRMWARE.zip) and you've got the error message, then you renamed it back to FIRMWARE and you've still get the same error message, leave the name FIRMWARE (without the .zip extension) but try "adb sideload FIRMWARE.zip". So even thought your file is called FIRMWARE without zip extension, you still type the command with the zip extension and it may work.

Solution 4:

One person said the following: "Adding to the list of things that may lead to * cannot read 'file.zip' * : check your PC's available memory. I'm a dev so I had a few apps running and hogging all of my 12Gb of ram, but I wasn't aware until windows suggested to close one of them . I then realised adb may not have enough memory to open the file (or whatever it is that it's doing before sideloading). Once I stopped some of the apps, thus lowering the memory usage, it worked OK."

That's it for now. Let me know what you've tried and which one worked. If you see other people failing at one of these don't skip them but try it yourself. All of these solutions worked for somebody so it may work for you too.
[Galaxy S6 Active] chrisliphart:
Just ran through all those solutions, and nothing is getting it to read the file. I also tried the file without doing any renaming to it, as the previous poster had suggested.

PS. I've got 41% of the 4GB of RAM on my laptop free, so roughly 1.64GB of RAM. Given the size of the file (roughly 1.5GB), I suppose that could be the issue, but there's enough to open the whole thing in RAM and still have a little bit left over.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
You're a mystery, sir! ;) I'll look for other solutions tomorrow. For now I can advise you to run VMware and install another version of Windows as a virtual machine. Then try again inside it.
[Galaxy S6 Active] chrisliphart:
Haha, yeah, I intend to give this a shot tomorrow using my work computer, which runs Windows 7. I'll report back. :)
[Galaxy S6 Active] Patsfan123:
I had the cannot read issue with my PC. Turns out I had not rebooted since installing adb. All commands except sideload worked before the reboot so that's why I didn't recognize it. After a reboot it worked in the first try.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

That's certainly not true. You need to change/add to .zip to the extension since it downloads with out any extension. I flashed with a completely modified filename.
[Galaxy S6 Active] pavijan123:
Wrong. I attached print screen of downloaded files,downloaded using chrome. Picture taken in Total Commander so you cann se the extension.I didnt modify it.
[Galaxy S6 Active] vanemmy1:
I had the same cannot read file on my laptop running Windows 10 x64. I used the same file that I downloaded on a Windows 8 machine and had no issue installing MM.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Patsfan123:
That's not the ota file. Not sure what you are showing there
[Galaxy S6 Active] CptnKase:
Actually you are showing the root files from a different thread (which have the extension correctly). The links in the first post of this thread do NOT have extensions:

I am about to start this process and will report back if I needed to add the ZIP extension or not. Just about to do a reboot after adb install and then start :)
[Galaxy S6 Active] pien:
I fixed the "cant read" problem by close all apps on my PC or reset then use ADB to upload again, it works. Maybe it's RAM issue, you should add zip and test (extract) the zip to make sure it doesn't have corrupted files.
[Galaxy S6 Active] hung2900:
Finally I got MM. The tip is not stopping finding new PC. I tried about 5 PC, Windows 10 with 8GB RAM, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 8 GB Ram and 4 GB RAM 64 bit and finally successful with an old laptop running Windows 8.0 32-bit, 3GB of RAM.
[Galaxy S6 Active] mapleking1996:
I tried it but it happened again, status7 again :(

Just curious, if we once flash bootloader "6" version binary installed, can we roll back to bootloader "5" version binary?

For example, My current binary is G890AUCS"5"CPK5 and now flashed G890AUCS"6"CPK8. Can we back to G890AUCS"5"CPK5?

Because currently, [MENTION=7453886]Jimmyvb98[/MENTION] found QD1 (Nougat beta) binary is not an official candidate binary. It meaning another real Nougat official binary released, we should back to specific binary (G890AUCS"6"CPK8) via Odin tool.

As far as i known, Our XDA S6 active forum's latest odin binary have bootloader "5" version. G890AUCU"5"CPK3.

(Here is just my opinion, not tested and just theory)

My worrying is who once flashed bootloader "6" version applied binary then trying back to booloader "5" version applied binary (G890AUCU"5"CPK3.), but it won't back to this booloader version difference problem.

May he or she will be isolated or stuck by this bootlodaer version and will never get back to previous bootloader version binary. (its very sad story :crying:)

I think we need to bootloader version "6" applied official binary for avoiding this problem.

Just wish who share the ATT recent bootloader 6 applied official binary G890AUCS"6"CPK8 to ours for avoiding this bootloader problem. :fingers-crossed:
