Hello to everyone,

The other day my brother bring me his samsung galaxy note 3 sm-N9005 and told me that doesn't work, just only can enter in TWRP (v2.8.3.0) or in download mode. I tried to install a rom and update version of TWRP, but always i have the same message:

checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found

error flashing zip '/sdcard/TWRP/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.2-img-zip'

Updating partition details...

.. done

When i try to install a ROM from zip file, i have the same problem

I try to generate a md5 file from zip TWRP in computer and then copy to sd card and install from TWRP by sdcard or internal memory of phone, but always i have the same problem.

I dunno what else do. Please can anyone help me?

thanks

Post does not make much sense.

I suggest flash stock rom via Odin first .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
There are some major flaws:

1) There is no Android 4.2-designed TWRP for the phone. You must be using wrong file.

2) Why are you trying to install old version?

3) File name is completely wrongly formatted.

For the solution, I assume the phone has or will be having Android 4.4 KitKat or newer.

You have 2 options here:

1) Download twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.zip and install it via current TWRP recovery (can not be done in stock recovery).

2) Download twrp-3.0.2-0-hlte.img.tar and install it via ODIN.

This is the site to find the correct files - https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/

To previous poster - Flashing stock firmware does not help achieve his desired result. Just a waste of time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvarma:
continue without installing

Hi Someguyfromhell,

Thanks for reply i have some doubts and questions about you reply, but first of all i want to tell you that i dunno anything about android so when you tell me some words i don't understand i'm iOS user.

In point 1) when you say "there is no Android 4.2 TWRP what do you refer? Because in any moment in my first post i don't say anything about 4.2.

In point 2) when you refer to install old version do you refer about TWRP? Well i tried this one, because new ones i can't install by odin. When i do it, and all process finished, phone don't enter in teamwin option, always reboot.

3) Can you explain to me about why file name is wrongly formatted?

Well i tried to install TWRP 3.0.2 by odin, but as i told you, phone don't enter in TWRP application, just appear in main screen where there is samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N9005:

Recovery booting...

Recovery is not seandroind enforcing

set warranty Bit: recovery

And don't move from this screen...

When you say install TWRP v2.8.7.0 via current TWRP recovery, how is this process? i try to look for in internet, but i didn't find anything. Can you explain to me?

About ROM, well as i told in first post now i don't have anyone, because always appear the error about MD5 and i can't install nothing can you recomend me a ROM and where to download it and how to install of course!

thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaft1960:
I have exactly the same problem. I've watched dozens of videos and even when it shows no md5 file found it still installs. Mine does not I've tried to flash different roms at least 10 times without success. My phone was rooted when I bought it could there be a problem with the routing. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
I don't know where you got such file from though. Does not seem to be an actual zip file if it fails flashing. Or the recovery script is messed up.

TWRP download sites do not have such option at all.

Try 2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4, that should be working just fine. 3.0 is quite new, might not be fully finished yet.

My bad, that feature is only on 2.8.4.0 and newer recoveries. You will have to flash the recovery with ODIN.

What happens if you try to flash a ROM? (which ROM and send logs)

Also, you do not have to create MD5 file. It is there to check for the archive integrity, isn't the reason for flash failing. Has to be another error.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvarma:
Hi again,

Well i did process about TWRP V2.8.7.0 as you told me by odin and worked well, so now i have this version of TWRP :)

Thanks.

About ROMs, I downloaded few ones like:

1) N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO.zip

2) SOKP-L-5.1.1-LMY48B-R4.0-OFFICIAL-20150613-hlte

3) XEC-N9005XXUGBOK6-20160122145457.zip

4) N9005XXUGBNL8 5.0.(7z) ---> This one is 7z file where inside have 4 files: AP_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar; BL_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar; CP_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar and CS_OXA_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

And tried to install, by this process:

1.- Copy 1) , 2) and 3) to ROMs to sdcard in PC, 4) ROM i think that is only for Odin, but i dunno how to do it

2.- Ejecute TWRP in phone, I copy 1) , 2) and 3) ROMs from sdcard_external to internal memory of phone in folder sdcard.

3.- In TWRP i go to Install option and choose the ROMs.

Well so I Tried 3 first and only the 2) tell me succesfull, but then not boot roms, appear a message on the top right that says: "kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty Bit: kernel".

with 1) and 3), says me about error, that no MD5:

checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found

error flashing zip '/sdcard/N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO.zip'

Updating partition details...

.. done

How i can obtein logs?

Where i can download a good ROM?

thanks again
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
First and third are zip files, that are not recovery-flashable - inside the archive are the original firmware files that can be flashed via Odin. Only (custom) ROMs, that have recovery-script inside zip file, can be flashed in TWRP.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidnik:
Bricked?! SGS6 920F can't mount "/data" or internal Storage after flashing Bootloader

I was running XtrestoLite DeoMod Edition 2.4 on 5.1.1 on my German Galaxy S6 64GB when i decided i want to upgrade to 6.0.1.

So i downloaded all needed files here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968

After i had flashed the 6.0.1 Bootloader, Modem and TWRP 3.0.0.0 (which i also found in the thread above), i was stuck in TWRP, as i couldnt perform a Wipe anymore. For some reason it won't mount my internal Storage and some other partitions anymore, for instance "/data". So basically i can't flash any 6.0.1 Rom but i also can't do a FULL WIPE.

I have already downloaded the 6.0.1 Stock ROM from SamMobile and i am ready to flash it via Odin, but i'm worried it will Wipe all my data! As already mentioned, TWRP wouldn't show me my internal Storage and mark it as "(0MB)", so it seems like it's already deleted, which is the worst thing that could have happened to me, as i lost crucial data.

My Question is: Why will TWRP NOT show me my Internal Storage and say it can't mount "/data" and all the other folders. Is it Softbricked? Why would Flashing a Bootloader and Modem literally destroy my internal SD Memory?

I want to Flash the Stock ROM, hoping it will fix the Problem but i want to see if you guys can help me Get my Data from Internal Memory first! Please help me!

Thanks alot

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadejo:
flashing a rom in odin should not erase your internal storage as long you dont select wipe in odin. in your case you must flash the latest stock rom in odin. if your storage seems deleted after flashing stock rom. it happened earlier while messing around with twrp. also you should try twrp 3.0.2. viel glück

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I have no app for this, nor do I intend to make one, any Dev may feel free to do so. This appears to apply way more widely to any Android phone But I discovered this on the GS5

A Mod can move this thread as fit!

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Issue

Essentially I found many who dirty flash, use Titanium backup to restore or who knows what have faced odd issues of suddenly running out of room for apps when they shouldn't, or have trouble removing apps because they keep popping back up...

Well I found this in /data/app

View attachment 3714984

View attachment 3714985

View attachment 3714986

View attachment 3714987

This issue eats all of the space up... but why does this happen???

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Culprit

Duplicated apps clogging the data folder appears to be a permissions issue, where the permissions of 755 with the owner of system and group of system is ACTUALLY showing up as Owner root and group root, causing the playstore to duplicate apps with correct permissions as the playstore doesn't have root permission and gets denied access.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Solution?

To fix, run in terminal emulator or adb shell(with root permissions of course)

su
chown -R system:system /data/app

Now Delete all the extra apps so there's only one of each, app, keep only the highest numbered app(you can renumber them to 1 if you'd like)

wipe cache and dalvik cache(just suggestions)

This Is just my finding and I saw no other threads about this

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CVertigo1:
I'd like to add that you can use Root Explorer to change owner if you don't have a computer handy. Go into Root Explorer and long press app/data/ and tap change owner. Then set owner as system for all sub files. I don't have a rooted device handy, so I can't be certain if it says all sub files or directories or something else lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CVertigo1:
I'd like to add that I tested some of the causes for this previously, and it seems like Titanium Backup is the #1 cause. I went back to stock and rooted the phone, PB1 if that matters. When I looked, there were no /data/app directories with the owners set as root. Then I restored apps with Titanium Backup then recheck directory owners, and I found multiple instances of root as the owner. I assume Titanium has to change owner to have the ability to write, but it doesn't change permissions back when it is done. I wonder if the developer is aware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I caused this simply by a dirtyflash
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] beavermjr:
When I initially had this problem I factory reset my phone without actually fixing the problem. I did this because I couldn’t get the code from the linked thread to execute in terminal emulator. I also refused to pay for the app that was suggested. Lo and behold, the problem returned yesterday.

Today, I managed to fix the problem and would like to share my success in case anyone else needs assistance. Here are the steps I followed.

1.	Back up apps in Titanium Backup

2.	Back up SMS messages using SMS Backup & Restore

3.	Screenshot the home screens

4.	Factory reset phone

5.	Install all apps from play store

6.	Restore SMS messages

7.	Setup home screens to match screenshots

8.	Restore App DATA ONLY with Titanium Backup

9.	Verify the Owner and Group settings were correct for the /data/app folder and sub folders.

When I opened TB for the first time, I got a message about the MOUNT NAMESPACE SEPERATION setting in Super SU potentially causing problems. I turned the setting off. I have seen no errors from turning this off and have left it so. When I restored apps & data with TB, TB failed to install apps that were already on the phone. After this happened twice, I proceeded to restore Data Only. Since I had installed all the apps from the play store before using TB, I ended up restoring DATA ONLY.

I then opened Root Browser in order to change owner & group settings for the folder /data/app. I found that the owner and group were already set to System. If this is due to the developer of TB updating the app, thanks much. If it’s due to the setting in Super SU, I’m passing this nugget along. If it’s dumb luck or because I didn’t install apps and did data only, I do not know. If you know, please share.

My hope is that this info helps others get past this annoying problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
My code in the op must be executed in terminal emulator line by line with root permissions
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] beavermjr:
Done. Although it didn't seem to do anything as the owner/group for the folder was already System. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
nope, if it worked, then any folder with wrong permissions would be fixed, to test change permissions on any folder to test(set owner to root) and after running, owner will be system

i wonder if it is somehow possible to switch to a second installed TTS engine on Fire OS. I am blind and use the build in VoiceView screenreader which is quite good. But i want to use another text-to-speech engine from Acapela which i have installed from PlayStore.

Unfortunatelly the TTS settings only allow to switch between the preinstalled Amazon Ivona voices and not to switch to a different TTS engine. So i guess there must be a way to fix this.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
I think the only way of doing this is with a rooted device. There are some safe ways to root your device and install custom ROMS. I do realize this could be a great leap considering the impairment but maybe you have someone that could help you in doing it. Also, as an aside, Google is releasing an app to allow one to entirely control their device with voice. They are beta testing this now with limited testers and hopefully it will be released to all shortly.

If you root, I would suggest using a safe ROM and rooting method, reading the Fire Original Android Development forum should point you in the right direction. My personal preference is to use the SuperTool and install the AOSP Fire Nexus ROM. Good luck and I appreciate your dilemma, just sorry there is not an easier solution.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clio09:
Many thanks! I think i'll go that road. With the AOSP ROM: is it also possible to use the same amazon apps which are normaly preinstalled on the Fire? Most of them are really accessible.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
The AOSP ROM will firmly place you in the Google environment but you could still download Amazon apps once you install the Amazon Appstore application. But you may find the Google apps will suit your needs as well if not better. Keep us posted on your progress.

I installed TWRP before inserting my SIM, and now have an unbranded S7. The problem is that I can't get it to download my carrier's voicemail number and can't manually input it. I'm almost certain that it's a CSC issue, and I've seen TWRP refuse to change CSCs on the G900W8 before.
