But i posted the Marshmallow TAR (PC2), so, it's a different file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iBowToAndroid:
When you posted the Mega link, I thought that you were saying that that was also an OK7 file, same as mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iBowToAndroid:
Sigh. No, there's nothing wrong with the file.

You always bootloop when downgrading a major version. Have to factory reset in recovery and then you'll be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
can I downgrade to 5.0.2 to get root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iBowToAndroid:
No

Note: due to slow download speed (~8 hour download without premium membership) this will make you recall the days of spending an hour to download an mp3.

You need to factory reset your phone.

If you didn't back up your sd card (internal) then do that right now before downgrading.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuantumPhusion:
Hey guys, so I've gotten myself out of boot loops before but this time I need one of ya'lls superior minds to help me out, if ya'll got the time.

I'm running a rooted, bootloader-unlocked HTC One M8 (TWRP recovery, custom ROM) that I've been using the past couple months with only some battery issues. Yesterday at work, my phone turned off for no reason, and every time I turned it on, it would turn off after reaching the boot logo. Low battery, no biggie. I got home and plugged it in, but this time it would just stay on the HTC One logo.

Wearily, I decided to do a factory reset, but after still no luck, I tried an advanced wipe (cache, data, internal storage [not system]) and took out my SD card, but nothing new yet. While searching for this problem, I came up on a lot of threads saying the factory reset didn't wipe anything from their phone, could this be a possibility?

Is there something I haven't done (or done wrong), or is there any way to fix this without using an RUU?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuantumPhusion:
Bump; I tried to use the RUU I used before, but it got stuck at 28% and after searching for the problem, deemed it safe to terminate the application and start anew, but now my phone can't boot to recovery and just keeps turning on then off.

Halp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] apprentice:
The first thing I do when buying a new Samsung phone is install my favourite font (SEGOE UI) as I like thin fonts and I'm not a fan of the heavy default font, (don't get me started on the ridiculous Choco Cooky and the others that Samsung offer) But the S7 is having none of it, saying all my 3rd party fonts are incompatible.

It's not a Marshmallow issue as far as I know as my S6 Edge+ is running MM and allows font apk installation.

Apps found on the Play Store that used to install fonts without root are all broken too. The only way to get more fonts is through Samsung's own app store and they are limited, expensive and mostly rubbish. I am after a lightweight standard font.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Once root is available, you can use ifont and install that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] apprentice:
Yeah, I understand that root would solve the issue but I am not planning on rooting the S7 as I want to try out Samsung Pay when it reaches the UK. I just don't understand why installing fonts has suddenly become an issue when it was fine on all my previous Sammy devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Try ifont without root. That should work. Make sure you pick instalation mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] apprentice:
I appreciate your help. Sadly I have tried all the installation modes and none of them work in iFont. It recommends root. So it looks like Samsung is only accepting fonts purchased in their app store. The vast majority of fonts in the app store are in Korean and all cost £1 each. So I guess I am stuck.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Time to learn Korean I guess. I am hoping my Canadian variant allows font changing. This would suck. I am rooting regardless of what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
You are correct the native third party font option does not seem to work. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Breester:
Thank you!

Just another way for them to make money. It sucks that they don't us to change the font unless we purchase it. I also dislike that they took away the stock music player. You are forced to use the Google Play Music Player.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Leelouster:
You can download it from the Samsung Store though.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jojo2801:
I love the s7, but I really miss the font, the extra tiny size for the font, n really do miss the music player, that comes with the phone.. I really hope they put it on the when they get ready to update. Love the Camera. Love the way u can see everybody reply in a group message. Especially love the the color change with the theme when u get a incoming call......this why I stay with Samsung. So glad we got memory card slot back....

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] episode96:
We're also having the problem with the S6 on Marshmallow too. The thing is, if you upgraded from Lollipop, your custom fonts that were already installed work, but if you do a clean install... same as described here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] apprentice:
Yes, you are correct. My custom font held when I upgraded my S6 Edge+ to Marshmallow, until I was forced to do a factory reset. I realised that I could no longer install the font without rooting :(

.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chazmojo@:
Hi. I'm also not rooted. I contacted Samsung and they said its definitely due to the marshmallow update and it's down to the developer of the font to update the font so we can use them from the play store. I contacted one developer for flip font but had no reply yet. So seems we have to pester them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rachelm920:
I basically killed my battery trying to get something to work last week LOL I know there was this issue with my S5 for awhile, then the font app developers updated something and I was able to install 3rd party fonts. Hopefully they'll update again so we can install whatever font we want. Since I'm on AT&T I doubt we'll have root. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] psychored:
I am positive this is not a marshmallow issue. I have a Note5 and have been facing the issue since the lollipop days. it was triggered by a software update in Jan '16, and ever since no third party fonts seem to work. I have tried every possible way, but without root, it is impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chazmojo@:
Thanks. This is what Samsung told me. Obviously fobbing the blame elsewhere. I'm no developer. I wish there were more fonts available on the galaxy app store. Bit there's been nothing new in the past 2 weeks. Unless it's Korean. Hope someone on this site has an answer apart from root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] FreeFontApps:
Slim Chance of getting free fonts

I am one of the free font developers and Samsung, and their partnership with Monotype, caused this issue. The code in the Marshmallow FlipFont program will only allow you to apply fonts that come from applications signed with a certain signature (i.e. apps that are owned and built by Monotype Imaging). Until there is a super sneaking work-around, there is really no chance for a free app to work on a stock Marshmallow phone.

It is funny (as a developer of free fonts) that Samsung is pointing the users to me to fix the issue... when they know that code was changed to prohibit free fonts being installed on Marshmallow devices.

I'm currently working on a quick fix to apply free fonts... but the prospect is not good. Sorry all :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] eurominican:

FlipFont Signature Check

Hello,

I am the developer of FontFix (the app was previously named Font Installer ★ Root ★) which has over 6.5 million downloads on Google Play. I wanted to give a detailed explanation here as to why installing fonts on the S7 (or other devices) is not working.

The OP is getting the following error message when attempting to apply a font in Settings:

Question:

Why are you seeing this error dialog?

Answer:

In Marshmallow, the framework checks if the FlipFont has a valid signature. They were performing this check before Android 6.0+ but only checking the certificate information. Now they are checking the SHA-1 hash of the APK signature. Before, apps could trick Samsung and FlipFont by using an invalid, but fake, signature to sign FlipFont APK files. Now, the code introduced in the Android 6.0 update has improved validating the signature. This has caused all previous APK's (like the ones you install from HiFont or iFont) to be invalid.

If you want to see the where this check is, deodex /system/priv-app/SecSettings2.apk and look for the method named checkFont(String) in the class com.android.settings.FontPreview.

Question:

Is there a way to bypass Samsung's signature check?

Answer:

There is. However, it will only work if a certain system package on your device is not installed. I attached an APK file to this post. Download and install the APK and it will tell you if your device can bypass the signature validation.

______________________________

If the attached APK tells you that you cannot bypass the signature check, then you are left with two choices:

1) Stick with your system font. Changing it to a free font is not possible.

2) Root your device to install the font to your system.

3) Purchase paid fonts from Monotype Imaging Inc. (the store from Samsung)

Please don't give a 1-star rating to my app or any of my competitors if Samsung has blocked installing free fonts.

If the APK tells you that you can install free fonts, please, go support my development by downloading FontFix. The app is free and it was the first to find a way around the signature check. If your device is rooted you will be able to install fonts.

Fore more info see: http://fontfix.jrummyapps.com/#faq

______________________________

I hope Monotype Imaging Inc. and Samsung realize that allowing users to use free fonts is a good business decision and stop trying to block their customers from enjoying free font files.

I own a Huawei Mate 8 with Android 6.0 and every fonts (even those taken from a Windows OS) are freely installable and usable simply putting the font into a customized theme file, copying the theme file on the sdcard and activating it through the stock theme app.

Well, it's possible that Huawei has changed the way Marshmallow works... but there could also be a possibility to install fonts through themes on Samsung smartphones?

If Samsung is making money from fonts that are free I hope the right people are getting paid.

Seems Azhero is no longer replying to this thread lol (can ya blame him!). Anyone know what he was describing and can do it also?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Freakayaboo:
he was talking about moving assets folder into something. I figured if we rename an apk file into zip, we can access the assets folder, but I don't know what to do beyond that. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tower1972:
Well from what I gather, we need to have a font that has the assets folder, not just the font itself, like a few people posted above. And with that, remove the assets folder, and replace it in the SamsungSans.apk folder, or something to that affect
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tim84us:

Okay, so I managed to find a font similar to segoe that works for my s7. If you install aptoide, go search for "frutiger flipfont" and install it. I like the font because of it's similarity to segoe amd I'm good with it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] apprentice:
SegoeUI .. I miss this font. I tried frutiger, it's not bad actually but still not light enough for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aggeorge:
Analysis

Okay so I've been looking at the font files (by renaming them from .apk to .zip) and comparing the ones that are paid/ not paid. The Assets folders appear to contain basically the same information other than the actual font data themselves so I'm not sure what Azhero was talking about especially since the Cavolini font he posted is a paid font so it works by default. So maybe he did a dirty on you guys and made you believe that there was a way to fiddle with the Assets folder and make the fonts work, also possible its the reason why he hasn't returned to this thread to tell us the way it was done. I'm hoping I'm wrong but thats what it looks like to me, that or you guys scared him away by swamping him with requests which was honestly pretty leachy and lazy of you guys in my opinion (I know not all of you asked him I'm talking about those who directly asked him to do it) . What we should really be looking for is the solution/method that alters old fonts with new ones via the certificate or whatever. [MENTION=5460630]Azhero[/MENTION] if you briefly explain the method as to how its done I'll personally take care of all the fonts that people have requested in this thread along with many others that are personal favorites of mine and maybe a few more requests that come in. I don't want to cover 100+ fonts is what im saying and im sure neither does Azhero. Plus if we figure out how it can be done then future readers can take care of it on their own.

The first issue that I seem to have issue with is that when i change the Asset folder from the paid font to the non paid and go to install it i get "Parse error" and cant install it. Im by no means a Dev so apologies if its an easy fix.

Also i know rooting would make all this possible but rooting simply isn't a solution for some of us due to warranty and features etc, lets be honest we all would do it if we lost no features and kept our warranty.

Thanks to any help

APKs are generally digitally signed, so if you change the file content you break its sign validation and the installation fails..

Probably APKs need to be signed with a Samsung key... if not, it might be possible to install the APK after re-signing the new modified file with a personal/developer key.
