[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
For the huge majority of mods (flashing custom ROMs, root, and much more) s-off is

not

needed. S-off is only needed for a few very specific things, such as manually flashing hboot, radio, changing CID or MID, and a few others.

What ROM specifically? Did you deselect the MD5 check in TWRP, as previously advised?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I am using the skydragon ROM (latest for Marshmallow) but in the zip the only file there is system. It also skips the MD5 check and has a progress bar for a bit and then comes up with the corrupt zip message.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you try downloading it again, as I previously suggested? You make it harder for us to hard to help you; if you don't comment or reply whether you tried the suggestions and guidance we give you.

Or try another ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I haven't re downloaded it so i will now but every ROM i have tried to install through twrp has come up with the corrupt zip error.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
"Every ROM" you tried? You only mentioned one. Again, its hard to help when you don't provide specific details. What are the

exact

file names of the ROMs you have tried?

Try another TWRP build (go back a build or two, such as 3.0.1) to see if its a problem with the latest build.

Or try putting the ROM zip on the SD card instead of internal storage (or vice versa, if that is the case) assuming you have an SD card. Maybe there is a problem with the storage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
ROMs I have tried

Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_53.1_c8bf38

OTA_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_R-4.16.401.13_release_464427hcbkgvubiqkgdofi

SkyDragon+M8+v4.0.0+Sense+8+MM

I have an SD card mounted (64gb) works fine. I haven't tried installing from internal but i don't see how that would make a difference.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is an OTA file, not a ROM. It can't be flashed in TWRP.

How do you know the SD "works fine"? Something is causing the 2 ROM files (which appear valid, not the OTA file) to show up as corrupted. Until we know what that is, you can't assume.

Same thing with flashing from internal storage. We don't know what's wrong, so how can you say whether it will make a difference or not? It would take you 2 min to try it, instead of assuming.

Also, before flashing a ROM, be sure to:

1) Make a TWRP backup of your existing setup.

2) In TWRP, do a default wipe (data, Dalvik and cache)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
OK let me give that a go
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I tried wiping then installing and got the zip error with both.

I have tried down grading twrp to 3.0.1 and that hasn't worked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you try to install from internal storage?

Just to confirm, the bootloader screen says UNLOCKED still? You can't flash custom recovery otherwise, but I have to think we're missing something rather simple. This error is very unusual, considering your firmware is up to date, updated TWRP, 2 different ROM files, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Bootloader unlocked

2 different ROMs

Flashed from internal and SD
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I'm the 3rd person going to say these :

Untick/disable zip signature verification before you swipe to install.

Or in settings, untick/disabke zip signature verification for permanently disable this feature.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I have done that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Try the M8 ROM linked in my signature so it's easier for me to understand what is wrong here.

It's a gpe ROM, no need to do any conversion or whatever. Just download then install.

You can install other ROM later after you successful installing this ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Good catch. I personally did not realize there were 2

different

verifications that can be enabled (that will both cause the ROM to fail): MD5 check and signature verification.

I knew about MD5 check in TWRP, but personally never even noticed signature verification (even though its right there on the Install screen) reason being that I've

never seen this enabled

. Its disable by default in every TWRP build I've used (as is MD5 check).

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Are you sure you disable MD5 check

and

signature verification (both on the install screen

and

TWRP Settings)?

I have to think the signature verification is exact cause of the problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I'll try the ROM in your signature now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It says on the post about firmware. If i already have Marshmallow with sense 7 do i still need to get it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
When ckpv5 said "Just download then install" (ROM) he meant it.

You already updated to MM firmware when you did RUU. No need to do it again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Ok. It is 704mb done
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
What's this means ? Are you saying you downloaded the ROM and it is 704mb ?

That's not correct. The ROM zip is 1.1gb and when you open the zip, you should see 8 items in it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
What i means is it is that far through downloaded. Sorry i should have been clearer.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I am making a nandroid backup first before i wipe and attempt to install.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It is installing the ROM now so i don't know why this one worked but the others didn't.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It is stuck on a screen with 4 dots doing a bunch of weird things ckpv5
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Most probably bad download ...

If it is good, you should be able to open it with winrar or 7-zip (just like my previous screenshot)

Also on the download page for those ROMs, you should find md5 details. You can compare the one that you downloaded has the same md5 or not.

Use this : http://www.winmd5.com/

It will take some times to boot .. after 5 mins you'll see apps optimizing screen. That weird things is bootanimation.

Most important here is now you manage to install ROM zip without error in TWRP.

So you can re download other ROMs that you tried to install for the last few days and make sure the download is not corrupted.

Check md5 (or open it with 7-zip or winrar to make sure it is not corrupted) then install it. If it is good download, you won't see error when installing in TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It takes a good 5 min (maybe even a bit more) on the boot animation screen on the first boot after a flash. Then might take 10 min optimizing apps (message on screen as the app number increases).

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Good idea. You should always do that before flashing a ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It worked but on setup my sim card was not recognized.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Try different ROM. That ROM is for you to test installation only as it is a bit complicated for some users as it is a 3 in 1 ROM.zip
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
OK. I will try the skydragon
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Junner2003:
Hi there!

The original shipped CINGULAR WM5 ROM is KITL enabled.

My 8525 is flashed with the O2 GERMANY WM6 ROM which does not have KITL. I shortly gave it a try and extracted IPL / SPL from the Cingular ROM and flashed it to my 8525 in the hope that would KITL enable my device but it did not!

Does anybody know how to 'add KITL capabilities' to a non KTL ROM? Where is the KITL stuff located in the ROM? It does not seem to be in the bootloader otherwise I should have been able to get it by loading the bootloader from the CINGULAR ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dirkdigles:
This just happened to my M919 a few weeks ago. Voice call audio works via bluetooth ONLY but not via phone speakers or wired headset. Everything else (media, videos, whatsapp calls, messenger calls, etc. works fine).

I did a lot of research and found almost nothing ... except this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heJqdryGhrs

http://blog.brokenlcds.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-speaker-problem/

If you look at the 2nd picture, I believe that the solder connections on the Audio IC chip (in-call audio chip) are degraded.. Initially if I put pressure on that area on my phone, the audio would cut in and out. Now it's completely gone.

I've read that if you disassemble the phone and use a heat gun to carefully reflow the solder on that little chip, the connections re-attach and this may fix the issue.

I haven't tried because I can't afford a new phone right now and don't want to risk further damaging this one, so I just have my calls currently forwarding to my GVoice number, which works fine.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneng64:
Please could someone help ! I'm trying to unlock my XT1032. I have the correct Sim-Unlock (network unlock) code from my old telco, but... it won't work because the phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked (S-ON) running CM13.

I figured that returning it to a stock build would allow me to unlock the phone, then I could re-root and return to CM13 on my new network.

However..... there are about a dozen guides on returning a Moto G to stock and the first one I tried left the phone stuck on the 'Warning: Bootloader is unlocked' message. Since then, I've tried several other guides and have got nowhere fast. I've been on this for four hours now and the only thing I seem to be able achieve is to get TWRP or CWM recovery on there by flashing from fastboot. Every other image I try either gives 'preflash validation failed' messages, sticks on the Bootloader Unlocked screen or gets it stuck in a bootloop!

I just want to switch networks... Why is this so bloody difficult ? :mad:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
What Firmware did your XT1032 originally come with? or which Carrier?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneng64:
Kitkat I think, and it's Tesco (UK).

I subsequently did the OTA update to Lollipop and then.... WHOAAAAA.... hold on... it's booting !!!

I don't know how, or what I've done to get this far, but the only thing I can think of that's changed is that the battery is now at 100% charge. It appears as though it's successfully flashed the 5.1 untouched ROM from http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=7981#downloads

But, I've tried flashing that loads of times this evening and it's failed everytime.

Having said that it's booting, it's sitting here on the Motorola logo - and it hasn't got that far in the last five hours.... I'll be back shortly !

Update: It worked ! It completed the boot, I put the new SIM in, it asked for the unlock code and this time it worked OK. Now I'm tackling putting CM13 back on it. I think I'll stick with TWRP rather than CWM recovery, as long as TWRP can handle the automatic updating for the CM nightlies.

I have no idea what went wrong there - maybe it was just that the battery had to be at 100% ?? Who knows... Thankfully I doubt I'll be tackling that again !
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I don't know if things have changed, but I would be careful with OTA Updates in CM. People have hard-bricked (phone is effectively destroyed) applying updates in this way. I also suggest you avoid official Motorola updates, rather use the factory firmware images available here: (which already include the content of OTA Updates)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneng64:
Ahhh... not so good after all. The phone reboots every time you try to uninstall an app. I've tried flashing back to CM12.1, the latest stable release, and it does the same, so I've obviously screwed something up along the way.

Could someone help me flatten this thing completely and get it working normally please?

I've tried reflashing loads of times, even tried Cyanogen Recovery instead of TWRP but nothing I do gets rid of this reboot problem.

Can anyone assist please?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneng64:
OK, so I've followed the procedure detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510 and flashed the Untouched 5.0.2. EU Stock ROM successfully, but it still reboots when you try to uninstall any app.

Whatever it is that's causing this is not getting overwritten by the flashing procedures I'm using is it ?

[MENTION=6527769]aneng64[/MENTION] - You have not done what I told you to do. Read my post again.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aneng64:
Yes I did... and I still had the same problem. It was only once I stopped trying to flash zips from TWRP and used mfastboot to flash the whole set individually (non-hlos, motoboot etc) that I got it to behave. The issue, incidentally, seemed to be the same one mentioned elsewhere here that also causes settings to crash when you try to go into settings, security.

Once it was stable with a stock ROM, I was able to flash CM13 again and it's now sorted. Thanks for your help anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] technocrat7:
So I've been following this bounty for the LG G5 very closely and I think it's awesome we've achieved Root finally for the LG G5.

I already did the fastboot OEM Unlock but looking all the instructions, I'm starting to get confused.

What is the best order I should proceed in, in order to make sure my phone doesn't get bricked or something if I screw up?

Prior to the LG G5, I had an HTC One M8, I always went in this order:

1) OEM Unlock

2) Unlock Bootloader

3) Custom recovery

4) ROOT

5) Custom ROM

I hope I listed that correctly.

So the only step I have done on my LG G5 is the "fastboot oem unlock"

So does that mean I now have to unlock the Bootloader? If so, where are the resources for that? I have only been able to find the Custom Recovery of TWRP installation instructions, nothing prior to that.

Final question, on this page it says at the top,

So does that mean I have to root my device first? and if I do that, what if it bricks or gets stuck, then I'm hosed right?

I just need a more clear explanation on how to proceed with this because this is my first LG Root and usually HTC's Rooting methods were a bit more simpler.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] hungmung:
When you did fastboot oem unlock that was unlocking the bootloader. Now you simply need to use the tot file you can find in the developer section to get twrp and the use the supersu and dm-verity zips in there and you will be rooted and ape to go from there. No new roms at the moment but you can install xposed and the g4 tweaks box will allow a lot of the custom options you can get in a Rom.

Hi... I'm writing this thread after reading for about 5 hours and a trying just about anything, so I really need your help :crying:

This morning my Zuk was drained (battery just died after the charger was away), and when I recharged it it went into the "Android upgrading" thing (even though I didn't upgrade any thing), and by the time it reached "starting apps" it suddenly crashed. after that it just went into a boot loop.

at first I tried restoring it to the original firmware, but nothing worked. I tried using a toolkit and doing it manually but nothing helped. my bootloader is locked and my oem lock is on (just didn't know how much this thing is importent until today...)

After realizing the adb\fastboot won't be enough (since the phone is locked in any possible way) I tried the "qfile method".

I managed to install everything, and got the driver working like it should, but no matter what I do I get this error:

[LeEco Le1 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BetaHydri:
With this process I was able to flash the TWRP recovery under Linux for my new LeTV One Pro US e.g. International Version

Installation process for LeTV One Pro US with adb and fastboot on Linux.

Prerequisites:

1. Download TWRP 3.0.2 International US

--> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=57905

2. Install ADB and Fastboot package:

--> sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

3. List USB devices when Phone is connected via USB on you linux box.

--> lsusb

--> Note: your phone will be listed with something like 1830 this is to help you to identify the right entry

4. create or edit follwing file for the LeTV One Pro and enter the second line e.g. SUBSYSTEM.....

--> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules <--(file name)

--> SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2b0e", ATTR{idProduct}=="1830", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" <--(content of file)

5. create file adb_usb.ini in your linux homefolder under ~.android/adb_usb.ini

--> enter in this file only the above idVendor as 0x2b0e

6. Reboot you linux computer and follow the next lines to flash you phone.

Flashing procedure:

1. adb devices

--> your device must be found and listed

2. adb reboot bootloader (After going into fastboot (penguin mode)

3. sudo $(which fastboot) flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is only the renamed TWP 3.0.2 image)

4. sudo $(which fastboot) reboot

--> important right after command No. 4 hold Volume Up (to go directly into TWRP recovery)

5. Make NAND Backup via TWRP 3.0.2 of all Partitions (to save your original X800 Phone state)

6. After that you can root the device by installing with TWRP SuperSU 2.65.

Infos TWRP and System partition rw / r:

With the beginning of TWRP 2.8.7.0 the Team Win Recovery Project has bring a option to mount the system partition read-only ! That's intended to help you make a pure backup of your system image that you can later flash to receive over-the-air updates after having rooted or ROMed your device.

Android 5.0 devices and higher check the system partition to see if it has ever changed from read-only to read/write. Users can now opt to install TWRP as read only. It then won't prompt to install SuperSU, nor will it patch your ROM to prevent itself from being replaced with the stock recovery.

2.8.7.0 also brings a resize2fs feature that lets you resize your data partition to use your full amount of available memory in those cases when you flash a factory image intended for a 32GB device to a 64GB one.
