Good Morning,
I've searched through the forums and so far haven't had any luck. I apologize if this is a topic that's been covered to death, which it likely has, but I haven't found a solution to my particular problem.
Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1.
I was having problems with TouchWiz crashing, usually 2 to 3 times per day. Sometimes it would lock up the unit, requiring me to reboot. Sometimes it would just come back after 5 or so minutes. Whatever the case, I decided, since I was already interested, that I would try to root the device, clear up some memory, maybe even flash a new ROM to take care of the issue.
First, I successfully rooted the device, no problem. Surprisingly easy, actually, following steps from this website.
I loaded SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Greenify - but still had (more rare) instances of TouchWiz crashing, and even the entire unit rebooting itself occasionally. So, I decided to take a stab at Cyanogenmod 11.
After attempting to load Cyanogenmod using Heimdall and Odin, and having issues I'll add, I finally realized that (theoretically) I could just use ROM Manager to load the file. Cool! So I loaded the zip file for CM11 onto the top level of my SD Card, created a recovery, and attempted to load the new ROM. The first problem I had was that the unit wouldn't just load the ROM like I expected, but it put me into recovery mode. I suspect that's not right, but I attempted to go ahead and use the menu picks to load the ROM anyway. I wiped data/factory reset, them wiped cache partition. Then, I selected "apply update from external storage". I selected the zip file for CM11, which was right where I left it, hit select, and had the following problem.
I got the following errors, two times, in red text (with other yellow text messages surrounding);
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
So...what do I need to do here, folks? Worst case scenario, obviously, I just keep using TouchWiz, as I haven't managed to brick my device yet, and I would still be able to utilize root access apps. But I have to be close, aren't I? Does anyone have the patience to help out a guy who only knows enough to be dangerous?
You need to use custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. It sounds like you are trying to use stock recovery.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I decided to give TWRP recovery a shot, and was getting an error on the CM11 zip file. I re-copied over the zip file, tried again, and that did the trick. I guess I either had a bad zip file, the wrong recovery, or both.
Thanks!

Sometimes I had problems flashing zips from external storage, appeared as corrupted, never a problem when zip was in internal storage . Did you try that?

No, I did not try that, as simply recopying the zip file onto the SD card did the trick.
I spent all evening playing with the settings, trying out themes, setting up my apps - and my unit didn't crash one time. Pretty slick!
Now I just need to learn how to use Titanium Backup to store settings so I can play with different ROM's.
I have a VS985 LG G3. I was running marshmallow yesterday, but after trying to root and unlock mobile tethering and hotspot (because I am on unlimited data) I managed to brick my phone while typing in adb commands because my phone decided to randomly shut off. So after plugging it into the USB and figuring out a way to put it into download mode, I flashed it to VS98510B. After that, I rooted with Stump Root and installed SuperSU, following some guides. It works fine once again but I'm not where I want to be.
After multiple times trying to open adb shell and get it to just recognize my device, I'm done. I know there are people out there who know this stuff by heart, so please, at this point, just tell me what to do step by step so I can do it and move on with my life. I have spent hours upon hours on this and it never seems to just work. Please.
All I want is to be able to install the latest TWRP or whatever is recommended., and then install either the SkyDragon Rom or the stock marshmallow VS98546A rom, but with the verizon apps disabled since in one guide it warns that those report for modified device, which I am not sure what that means but it doesn't sound good.
I'm on VS98510B. Rooted and SuperSU installed.
I want to be able to use mobile hotspot and tethering.
There's just information overload to the extreme, I'm overwhelmed.
Thanks again if any help is possible.
If you're already rooted with TWRP installed, the hard part should really be over. You shouldn't need to be plugging into a computer and running adb commands at this point. You also said you need step by step instructions, and to really spell it all out would be a lot, but considering how far you already got I don't think you really need every little detail, so I'll give you the general idea then if you have questions I can try to fill those gaps.
Basically you'll need to find and download the new ROM you want. The easiest thing to do is download it directly from your phone so you don't have to mess around with transferring it from your computer to your phone. Many custom ROMs will also require Gapps, but if you're flashing a stock ROM (or a custom ROM based on stock) you don't need to do this because it's included in the ROM.
After you've downloaded the ROM (should just be a zip file), you need to reboot to recovery (TWRP). If you don't know how to do this, there's an app called Quick Reboot that can do it for you (01400) personally haven't used it but I assume it works).
Once you're in recovery, you normally want to make a backup first in case anything goes wrong. This is done by selecting the backup button. After you have a backup, you want to "wipe" data before installing. Select the wipe button, then I click advanced and select everything except internal data and external data. This will wipe all apps, settings, etc. from your phone so make sure you're ok with that before you do it,
After wiping, you're ready to install. Back at the first main screen of TWRP, select Install, then browse to where you downloaded the ROM and select it, then select the Install button and swipe to confirm. Assuming all goes well, when it's finished it'll give you the option to reboot. Do this and it should start booting up to your new ROM.
Also, you mentioned SkyDragon, but I just wanted to point out that this isn't the latest version of Android, I believe that's still Lollipop (not Marshmallow). You also mentioned not wanting your rooted status to be reported to Verizon, but if you're currently on stock, rooted, and don't have any apps disabled, then you already are running this risk.
Let me know if you have any questions. I think this will be easier than me trying to walk you through every detail and confirmation screen.
I don't have TWRP installed. What is the best course of action to take to install it?
As far as disabling verizon apps, is it as simple as just going into the application manager and disabling them or is there a tool I need to download?
Thanks for all the help so far!
I see, it's been a couple years since I installed TWRP and I was thinking it was part of the rooting process. I believe this is the post I followed to install TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Like I said, this was a few years ago and it's kind of a one-time thing. I don't know if there's something better available now or what, and I don't remember the details. I don't remember running into any problems, so if you happened to have any I'm not sure how good I could help.
As for disabling things, the things that need to be disabled are system apps and can't just be disabled from the stock application manager (Verizon doesn't want to make it easy for you to disable their software ). There are different ways this can be done, but I personally use Titanium Backup to disable (or "freeze" as they call it) apps. It will let you freeze anything, which also means it gives you the ability to break things, so don't just go in freezing random things. I don't remember if freezing requires the paid version of the app or not, but you can get it from the play store and find out.

As far as Titanium Backup goes, is it along the same lines as TWRP? Like do they do the same things? Do you recommend I do one over the other?
Also as far as verizon apps reporting root, what do they do and what does that matter?
Also, I'm currently dealing with the LG DemiGod Crash Handler problem that seems to have started up on my phone the other day. I'd never rooted or messed with my phone in any way and that started happening, I thought perhaps flashing a new ROM might fix it, but I guess not. If you have any sort of tips on how to fix that, other than replace the battery (which I have not yet done, but supposedly that can solve the problem) I'd be grateful.
Titanium Backup and TWRP are two different things. Titanium Backup is a "normal" app that you can get from the Play store, while TWRP is a custom recovery and isn't ran from within your ROM. TWRP lets you do full image backups of your phone (like your entire phone in a single backup) and can also be used to install ("flash") ROMs. Titanium Backup lets you backup, freeze, and uninstall specific apps.
I use them both because they both serve a specific purpose. You have to use TWRP to install ROMs, then as far as backups, I use TWRP to make a backup of everything in case I flash a ROM that I end up not liking (I can use the backup to easily go back to my previous ROM and still have apps and everything all setup just like they were). If I do like the new ROM I flashed, I'll use Titanium Backup to restore a lot of my apps/data to the new ROM (ex. text messages, my alarm clock app, etc.)
As far as Verizon knowing about your root status, honestly I'm not sure what all that would mean. I'm sure they wouldn't like it, rooting voids your warranty so you probably couldn't get things replaced under warranty, if you have insurance through Verizon they would maybe use your root status as a reason to deny a claim, etc. I don't think you'd have to worry about them calling you up or cancelling your service or anything like that, but getting them to assist you with problems might be more frustrating than usual
Regarding the demigod crash thing, I know what you're talking about but I don't really know much about it. A while ago I would get those every once in a while and it was frustrating. I think at the time I kind off wanted to try a new ROM anyways and I think I did but I still got it occasionally. Now that you mentioned it though I haven't had one in quite a while. I'm not sure if those ROMs both happened to cause it, if it was a Lollipop thing (doesn't seem like I've had it since Marshmallow), or if it's all just a coincidence or I've just been lucky. I haven't gotten a new battery though, so that's definitely not it (for me anyways).

Hi folks,
I'm after some information. My Nexus 4 is about kaput now with the battery lasting about 4 hours or so with a full charge so I am looking to move over to my S4 mini for a while before buying an upgrade.
However i don't fancy rolling back to 4.4.2 from 5.1.1 as have got accustomed to it now. so there for I am looking to upgrade/flash it or whatever.
I am quite the novice and have not done this on any phone before so I am looking for a bit of help,
I have looked over xda and read some bits but think someone just telling me would be better, i'm not a tech dunce but I am not 100% confident in this at the moment as there seems to be more than one way of doing this.
What do i need to do first and foremost to make the process go as planned?
I take it I need to "root" the phone first (what does this do ? give me access to the firmware level? is that it?) using a "recovery tool" as they are called (is that right?)
Then after I have done that I can install a fresh ROM onto the phone and basic app's etc.
I have seen these guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-13-0-s4-mini-t3276141
Is it just a matter of following them or are there other things I need to do first, in between or after?
I am not bothered about anything being saved on the s4 mini it can be wiped clean and start a fresh, I don't need any of my data on it backed up
A quick bullet guide or acknowledgement of the two threads above or pointing me towards some better ones would be great and any pointers or descriptions of the acronyms or places in menu's which may have had their names changed or have been moved.
Many thanks Everyone,
Dahools
Hi!, you dont need to worry about anything, the only thing that you need is follow these guides, but make sure if you have the correct variant.
First Install Kies and connect your phone to it( For correct phone drivers). And after phone connect wells, Close kies from task manager.
You Need Odin to install a recovery software in your phone(TWRP, Clock Recovery, Philip). I only used twrp now.
Here is link below with instruction. Download recovery for your variant(i9190,i9192 or i9195 base on your model).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
Suppose if you install TWRP. Boot into recovery, And click Wipe, Do a factory reset , Clear Devil cache, Then go back and install your Firmware(cm12.1 or cm13 for your intended model). And flash Gapps as well. Then reboot. And you are done.
I have tried TWRP for both i9190 and i9192 model. and installed custom roms. Work fine.
Good Luck.
thanks fellas
I went for it with the original links and it worked. (eventually) A bit of user error on my part missing recovery mode on reboot first time and thinking it was done when it wasn't. Only putting the first bit in (root kit v2) then not realising how to flash the next parts. A bit of persistence paid off.
I have a I9195 model and rooting with that clockwork worked then loading the CM13 and then the Gapps. All one after the other in one go finally worked for me! so so far so good, just getting used to Android 6 now I think everything is working though, not put my sim in yet. will do that tomorrow.
If anyone was to follow what I did the big tip I would say is copy everything onto the SD card before you start anything, not as I did at first just putting the first bit on then thinking I can copy the next bit on later . . .
No OS installed. I have twrp installed. So literally when i turn it on it goes directly into recovery menu. Apparently I have no back up or restore point. This is a Sprint galaxy note 4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have been looking for a factory reset firmware somewhere online cant find one. Funny thing is my wife has the same exact phone. I thought making a back up and restore point for her phone would work on mine, but it didnt lol. Please I would be very grateful for help.
Hello, you could get the official software and use odin to get it back all the way to stock, or you can also just flash a custom rom since you already have twrp. To install a custom rom, all you need to do is download the rom and place it on a micro sd card, boot into twrp, and flash the rom from the micro sd.
Thank you for your reply how ever my trouble is finding an OS that works for my note 4 sprint device. I have downloaded dozens and dozens of different roms and so called " factory firmware" but seem to have no lucks. i have the recovery software installed twrp. when i go into there and try to load rom i still get error that says no os installed..
Thanks for the input i will close this thread now. my problem was not being patient at the bootload screen. I automatically assumed that something was wrong because it was stuck at the sprint spark yellow screen how ever little did i know a little bit of patients would have saved me numerous amounts of hours of research. Lost sleep, called off of work, and canceled weekend plans due to a little lack of patience. Well you live and you learn i really appreciate you taking time out to reply.
Hi all
I have been pointed towards xda following a conversation in another forum regarding my failing Tab S.
Before I registered today, I took a look around the forum and am left feeling a bit like a duck out of water.
I dont really understand much of the jargon being used, and so im not sure if I really belong here . I'm just trying to find a fix for my tablet that doesn't involve the expense of returning it to Samsung.
I bought my Tab S 10.5 back in 2014, and until last year I felt that it performed flawlessly. So last year a friend of mine dropped it onto my kitchen floor resulting in a shattered screen from the top left corner outwards. I did look into getting the screen replaced at the time but it turned out that it was going to cost me £250, which I believe is half the price of what I paid for the whole thing when it was new. So I decided to live with the damage, which isn't too visible when its switched on.
A year later and I have what I think is a more serious issue. While I was on Facebook my tablet decided to turn itself off at 50% battery, and when I turned turning it back on it appeared to be stuck in some kind of boot-loop, constantly switching from a slowly glowing Samsung logo to the smaller constructing logo (I hope that makes sense). I tried various button sequences to get the thing running but none made any difference.
Following a bit of Googling I tried a hard reset and clearing the cache. The process took mere seconds, leading me to believe that the hard reset functionality wasn't working either. And after the reset where it gave me to the option to restart, I was taken back to the boot-loop again.
Part of me wonders if the tablet has reached the end of its life, but another part of me thinks that I should expect more from a 4 year old £500 tablet, although yes it did get dropped that time.
Anyway, I have been directed here by someone who suggested that a custom rom might be the answer, but after taking a look at the Samsung Tab S Development page, I am completely stumped at what rom to choose and how to install it, and just when I thought id go for it, I didn't really understand the following instructions:
Download the latest build (download to what, my laptop?)
Download opengapps.org (I dont know what this is and where to download it to)
Make a nandroid backup (totally lost on this one)
Recommended - Full wipe system/data (first install) (I think I did that, although it took about 2 seconds)
Flash latest Twrp (T800/T805) & Firmware from sammobile.com (T800/T805) (No idea what that means)
Flash ROM (?)
Flash Gapps (?)
Reboot
Enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm hoping that there might be an idiots guide to fixing the Tab S

1) yes, to your laptop or pc or what ever computer you're using.
2) OpenGapps are the google apps that don't come with a generic Rom, such as GMail, the Google Play Store, etc etc. (and again, download it to the computer you are using (so when you flash the Rom, you can flash these google apps also).
3) Making a backup (nandroid is one type, there are others), is imho, optional. If you have pictures, pdf files, anything on the device you don't want to lose, back those up somehow. I never worry about making a nandroid backup personally.
4) If you haven't installed TWRP, then you probably haven't wiped system / data. It's after having installed twrp that you want to do that wipe (within twrp, there are directions in it to do that). You wipe those partitions so you can "start new", with your new Rom.
5) TWRP is a replacement recovery you flash (install) over the old (original) recovery. It allows you to flash roms etc etc etc. BUT, you have to use the specific version of TWRP for your specific device.
I'd suggest doing a lot of reading, search google for various topics related to this subject; like 'how to install twrp on the Samsung Tab S' or 'What version of twrp should I use for Samsung Tab S' or etc etc etc.
Then READ READ READ READ READ READ!! until you feel comfortable with what you are doing! It's those that do things they don't have any idea what it will do that end up buying a new device when they didn't have to.
Cheers

That's great, thank you for your detailed reply.
Luckily I back up my docs and media to an SD card as I go, so I dont believe I have lost anything.
I will get reading this afternoon and fingers crossed it will work!
Further. I registered today and so assumed this was my first post, but according to my profile I posted in 2015!
Reading back it looks like those posts were made by me, but I have just registered under a totally different user name and password today and yet I am somehow logged in to my obviously forgotten account.

If you are having issues with your device then flashing custom firmware is not the answer.
If indeed it is software related then the best you can do is simply factory reset the device.
If that doesn't solve reinstall the stock firmware via Odin.
Don't put yourself under extra pressure by introducing unknown issues from flashing custom stuff.
Go to updato.com search your device, download the respective firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.
Google has countless guides how to flash with Odin .
If that doesn't fix it then it's likely hardware. The first thing you should look at for random shutdowns is replacing the battery.

Thanks. Luckily I haven't tried a custom rom yet.
No the factory reset didn't work, in fact it doesn't appear to work at all. The android guy is lying on his back with some warning text below it that vanishes to soon to be read.
I daren't try replacing the battery, as the last time I tied removing the front of a tablet (a mates) the screen shattered. Plus my screen is already badly cracked and likely to get worse if I attempt to remove it.
So ill look into the Odin option. Thanks!
