Problem after trying to flash stock room 'kernel rev check failed' - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

So, following this guide i tried to root my samsung galaxy a5 2017. Everything was okay, i flashed the custom recovery and tried to install magisk through twrp as said there but... the dreaded 'only official release binaries are allowed to be flashed' red message in black background popped up in my screen. Now i can only boot into download mode, and install official binaries.
So I'm trying to do now, i downloaded the last carrierless spanish sotck room for my mobille. Well, it turns out that it gives an error 'kernel rev check failed. Mobile:9 Binaries:8' aaand i don't know what to do now?
Also, I didn't know Samsung had come to a new way of blocking custom binaries in 8.0.0, so, is there any way to circumvent this? I found this page but I don't really know if that's what I'm looking for

Apparently I was NOT using the last firmware available, even though i checked it like 4 times, that was the problem. It is fixed.

5.1.1 OTA update not working

My phone is running the BOG5 5.0.1 software and it is a retail edition.
I recieved a notification on my device prompting me that a new update is available (finally! 5.1.1!) I tap "download now", the download eventually finishes and it proceeds to install.
My phone boots into recovery, "installing update" and very shortly after I see the droid triage error and below it says "error!" and then my phone reboots. When I unlock my phone it says, "Sorry, there was a problem updating your SAMSUNG SM-N910V. No changes were made."
I looked under software update in settings and it says "software not updated to N910VVRU2BOK3" and the error code is 410.
I also notice that when I go into recovery it says "dm-verity verification failed...."
I looked in Kies to see if the update was available there, and of course it wasn't. And I can't find the ROM anywhere as of yet to flash with ODIN.
I would appreciate all of the help I can get.
Thank you.

I'm having the exact same issue and symptoms, have you made any progress with this? If I find a solution I'll share here too. I've tried Kies and VZW Software Upgrade Assistant, neither finds the update, but I can get it on my retail VZ Note 4, just won't successfully install.

Thank you for your feedback. I wonder if it has to do with a corrupt software build on our devices. I ordered my phone in November of last year and it came with BOG5 on it. I'm going to see about flashing stock BOG5 completely fresh on the phone and see if that corrects the issue.

Sounds like something worth trying, I'll watch for an update on how it goes for you. Thanks!
I have found a solution (albeit requires a full wipe, which is worth having 5.1.1 for me)
Firstly, I attempted flashing the "stock restore" file in odin and resulted in an error, I then tried the full firmware instead (mind you for BOG5, if you're having problems on your current version I'd suggest using your current build) with success, proceed with a data wipe in recovery and noticed that the "dm-verity verification failed...." message is now gone and now that bottom area of the screen has information about applying Multi-CSC.
Restart the phone, set up as normal and go straight for the software update. My phone downloaded and installed the update perfectly! For safety just boot into recovery and do a full wipe again, and there you have it!

Thank you for reporting back with what worked for you. I've tried following the same steps you took, but after flashing the full BOG5 firmware and doing a data wipe and then doing basic setup on my phone, the OTA is still failing, Error Code: 404. I'll try again, but so far no success. Still stuck on the buggy 5.0.1, the version where you can't flash back to 4.4.4....

I am sorry to hear that this didn't work for you. But it appears we're both getting different error codes. Does your recovery display issues with dm-verity failing? I think this was part of my problem in the first place.

You're right, I thought I had seen that message earlier in the week while trying to get the OTA for 5.1.1 to work, but I didn't write it down. Your description of symptoms matched mine so well I figured it had to be the same issue or something so similar that running through the same process would work for me too.
I may take the phone into Verizon to show them the update fail and see if they are willing to do anything for me....
Glad you got yours up and running, but I am just a little bit jealous

I've found that most times the OTA update fails prior to rebooting to install the update and I get the 404 error I reported earlier. However, when it does make it to the point of doing the OTA update after reboot, after that fails, I get the same 410 error you reported, see attached, and I also the dm-verity fail message in recovery. Then after using Odin to install BOG5, the verity fail disappears, replaced by a Multi-CSC message, I do a complete data wipe/factory reset, set up my basic google account and try the OTA, which fails every time. But once the dm-verity fail is gone, I can try doing an update from external storage, which I've tried with the BOK3 5.1.1 zip file posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...id-5-1-1-according-to-website-t3290683/page20 However, this still fails to load.
At this point I'm pretty convinced that I some other issue with my phone. I found elsewhere that someone was able to take their phone into Best Buy and have them flash the 5.1.1 update for them via Kies. That is probably my next step.
But I wanted to share what I've tried in case anyone else is experiencing the same dead end or in the off chance that someone has found a solution.
Sure would love to see the full 5.1.1 BOK3 tar.md5 sometime before Marshmallow hits, pretty sure using Odin to install the update that way would work....

The full OTA for 5.1.1 was posted and I was able to update using Odin, following the instructions on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224
Just wanted to update this post with the solution which finally worked for me.

BND-L24 System update failed

I'm not the kind of person to ask for help if the answer to my problem might be out there already. I've followed relevant threads. I've searched XDA and googled. I've tried some things. I'm stuck.
I have an unlocked bootloader and FRP. When I go into Settings, OEM unlocking is greyed out. (Yes, I can use the phone.)
I do not have TWRP (anymore). I flashed stock recoveries.
I'm on build B101 and System Update is prompting my to update to B130. I can download it and, when prompted, reboot into recovery to update automatically.
I get to 100% and get the following error:
Software install failed!
Failed to check the update files.
Please download the package again.
Reboot system now
(See screenshot attached)
Now that it's available in Firmware Finder, I attempted to load B150 as well. Same thing.
I tried relocking bootloader, but it immediately prompts me to factory reset. After doing that, I get to reboot into recovery by default, other recovery by pressing the buttons, or fastboot via my PC.
Now, since we STILL don't have full firmware (supposed to have gotten it Friday, right?) I'm reluctant to use the images from here, especially if I'm not sure that would actually fix my issue.
What is going on with my software update? How do I fix this?
Did they actually release the BND-L24 firmware and no one noted it here?
Help, please!
Thanks.

I'm not certain why that happens, But I have a guess.
On each update that I have looked at, the recovery gets and update too. So different signatures and such.
Maybe the "stock" recovery you have re-flashed, is not correct version for your installed and update rom.
I cannot confirm this as I am missing the update app.
If you could help me with my missing files , I could help you with your update problem.
You could help me by pulling a list of packages installed so I can see what apps I have missing, and hopefully get them back (stock only, preferably done after a fresh factory reset.)
Directions for this on this thread.

thank you that helps.
I see I am missing an entire folder.
/data/hw_init
Could you see if it is accessible .
Code:
mkdir %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init
adb pull /data/hw_init %userprofile%\Desktop\hw_init
I think it is not permitted though.
Uploaded. See referenced thread. I hope it helps!

I will see what I can do with that. And hopefully can get past any file verification. And if I figure that out it should help you too.
Or , with my luck, the moment I figure it out , the stock firmware will come out.
I pushed the hw_init folder to /data while in twrp, then put stock recovery back(the version I expect should be correct) and I got same update failed error, as the OP.
That tells me maybe is probably some other reason , besides the version of stock recovery is causing this trouble.
Not sure if there is confirmation of successful update while bootloader is unlocked or not. Too late for me to try tonight, but next I will re-lock bootloader and try again.
My last (really current) phone needed to be re-locked in order to take updates.
**UPDATE**
re-locking bootloader did not help any at all. I still have error failed to check file, please download again.
On the manual update to oreo thread, they are using a "stock-ish" recovery named "no-check"
I am thinking I might flash that recovery to try and force this update to install.
BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img? Is that region-specific? Will it work with the BND-L24?

I have ordered a second 7x. I plan to pull the hw_init folder , and the remainder of /data that might be missing from this device , because of a result of formating it in twrp. I plan to restore that as an image, in hopes of getting updater to complete properly. And if that works, you will be able to use my backup and update your phone too.
If not , well , doesn't hurt to try.
I'm comparing the images pulled from my device and the images available for the Indian "return to stock thread. And I see the problem with the USA L24 version.
The cust.img for usa has no app folder.
It did not make sense to me before why there was apps only installed in /data. Because /data should be able to be fully wiped and your system will recreate the file structure. But The apps should have been on one of the images.
My second phone arrived today. I pulled the hw_init folder from it.
did a diff comparison on the updater app from the new phone and and the one that I had to apply patches to , to bring it up from b101 to b140. The result was 100% same.
and three more apps where in the hw_init folder as well. (bloat apps really)
now the bad news.
My original phone (the one that I had formatted /data on). Now has the same /data/hw_init folder as the brand new device. But always shows no update available.--It showed update once, the first time checked, install failed , now shows nothing available.
And the new phone does show an update available (B150) , but fails to install. Then after the failed install, now it shows no update available.
That's insane.
So... in summary, neither will update? Neither the original nor the unaltered brand-new device?
If anyone else has had this issue but has since resolved it, would you mind letting us know how? @mrmazak is working on it and I've also been told by the FUT team that I should expect some kind of communication from "Oscar Felix."
(If you've searched the forums for other Honor or Huawei devices, you probably already know that there is some speculation about whether or not Oscar Felix is a real person.)
I have the same problem but I'm stuck on update b140 and I can't even get the face unlock feature update. I was rooted with twrp recovery but now I have reinstalled the stock recovery and removed root

Did you get the Oreo update today?
No I didn't, did you find out what can we do about this?
Is it a way I can update my phone manually
I'm watching this thread , myself. That might be the key.
Hopefully something comes up soon or is there a rom I can get if I reroot my phone?

My Z2 force keep booting to blank screen with 'no command' written below an android.

First things first. I surrender. I'm a noob with android. I had windows phone previously and only now came to android.
Here's the scenario:
1. My z2 force was properly rooted with magisk and twrp. I followed the guide in xda only.
2. My device was brought from India so carriers like sprint, t-mobile are not applicable I think.
What I Did:
0. Wanted to unroot my device. So, I decided to first uninstall the modules in magisk that I had installed.
1. Tried to uninstall magisk modules and rebooted from the magisk application.
2. Got into Boot loop, so went to recovery mod and wiped everything. Hard reset was done.
3. Installed magisk app again and clicked uninstall to remove root. I wanted to install the latest security update. Update kept failing so I decided to unroot. I choose uninstall completely option.
4. Rebooted the phone manually after clicking uninstall in magisk manager. Using the 'root checker' app I checked if unrooting was successful but it said, 'root was not properly installed' or something like that. So, I installed magisk manager again and again uninstalled root completely.
5. Still same issue. Root checker said the same thing again. So, installed magisk manager again and this time I wanted to remove root using ES file manager as I saw in an online guide. But I couldn't give it root permission because it was not properly installed as said by root checker. So, I decided to root my phone properly but stupid me, clicked 'install' in magisk manager and chose the recommended option (don't remember exactly what it was). It downloaded magisk zip and did some changes and asked to reboot. After rebooting, my phone went straight to the black screen with an android icon and 'no command' written below it. It kept going there again and again.
6. I assume that is the recovery mode. I press volume up and power button and choose the wipe everything again(Like I did before) to hard reset phone. Wiping was successful but it still kept booting to that black screen.
Additional Info:
1. Phone wasn't carrier version. It was bought in India. It is running Oreo 8.0.
2. In bootloader menu : (Not stating all)
BL: MBM-3.0-nash_retail-641a15b-180306
Product/Variant: nask xt1789-06 64GB PVT
Console[NULL] :null
Tools Mode Config: DISABLED
Power OK
flashing_unlocked
Software Status : Modified
Transfer Mode : USB Connected.
3. Yes, Bootloader menu is accessible.
4. Choosing recovery mode in bootloader menu reboots phone and takes me to that blank screen I mentioned before.
5. Connecting to USB to my PC when in bootloader menu, it connects as 'Fastboot nash S'. ADB terminal says no devices found.
What I want:
1. Boot into OS.
2. Remove root completely so I can install system update.
Please help or offer suggestions as I do not have a secondary device with me. If I have to absolutely go to a service center, I will.
You should flash it back to stock.
You posted that your phone is nash xt1789-06 64GB PVT, you can grab the latest firmware here.
The flashing instructions are here in post #5, and any question you might have is most likely answered in that thread.
Just download the firmware, boot into bootloader mode, and follow the instructions.
FYI in fastboot mode adb commands don't work, it's fastboot. To verify that you're connected and ready type
Code:
fastboot devices
and you should see your serial# like you do in adb.
That should put you back to stock and good to go.

Thank you for the reply. I figured it out and went ahead with it. But now, I'm not seeing the May security update. The device shows it has March update and that no other update is available. Any idea why? Also, root checker still says 'root not properly installed'. How to unroot completely? Thanks a lot!

Did you look to see if the May Security Update has been released for your specific device? When you downloaded the stock firmware did you look to see what month security patch it contained? Have you tried to perform a system update to see if you can OTA to the latest security patch?
Now, if you completely flashed back to stock then root is removed. Root checker says that because root access is not installed at all. Flashing back to stock removes any trace of root, IIRC.
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
Don't forget, if you followed the flashing instructions from the other post they were omitting the gpt.bin and bootloader. So if you didn't flash those then that's why you're probably not seeing any updates, you need to be on full stock all matched up. Just reflash the firmware you downloaded in its entirety. @fast69mopar is right, once you flash a new boot.img root is gone, and since you flashed back to stock it's definitely gone.

If you flash with factory image you should be unroot completely and root checker will keep telling you "root not properly installed" if you are not rooted just ignore root checker if you not planning to be rooted.
Hi there I have a xt1789-06 I was not getting updates and flashed the first Oreo update from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL/
My phone now does the updates and everything works fine.
However I did try to flash a custom ROM and root I made a mistake and ended up both a hard brick, because I was on Oreo I thought that flashing the Oreo blank flash would rectify the problem, but it was not working so I tried flashing the N blank flash and it worked.
I've come from using Samsung phones so I'm use to Odin and have not used fastboot commands. After reading many threads I know what I had done was not decrypting my device which ended up with a hard brick I will in the future flash a custom ROM now I know a little bit more.
Blank flash files are here
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/blankflash/
Then once back to fastboot flash the flash all from the link at the top of my post.

Hi, sorry I was busy with work. I managed to use my phone that way. I didn't use the instructions in that post. Instead, I download flashallutilities (In how to return to stock post in xda for z2 force), then ran the batch file which did all the work. I noticed other problems too,
1. My Jio sim(4g LTE) does not show 'enhanced LTE mode' in options. Also when I call someone, it fails immediately saying 'call failed. try another method.' However, internet connection works from the sim. My other sim works fine for calls and data.
2. I'm seeing other keyboards in manage keyboards section. I don't recall seeing google pinyin input, zhuyin input, etc before. What's worse is my office's app shows option to switch to chinese version of the website for logging in. My language and time zone are set correctly though - English India and GMT +5:30.
3. The web browser I used before couldn't be found in the play store anymore. My launcher still shows the icon with a green arrow in left bottom of the icon to direct me to playstore to download it but playstore says item not found. The app name is simply 'browser'. I searched for it on desktop website too (without logging in), still couldn't find it. Guess it's a coincidence,
Also: Herehttps://www.getdroidtips.com/moto-z2-z2-play-z2-force-stock-rom/#Moto_Z2_Force_Android_80_Oreo_Firmware, the carrier global version says 'OCX' instead of 'OPX'. Any idead about that?

Your Z2 is a xt1789-06 correct? It's an international version, the flashall in the utilities zip from the return to stock thread is for US based phones, TMO and Sprint specifically. What was or wasn't flashed using that flashall I couldn't tell you, I don't have an international phone. That's why I linked to the post that deals with that version of the Z2 and has all the answers and links you need to sort your phone. Others in that thread might be better suited to help you along. This is the thread that deals with the xt1789-06.
As for calling and sim, might be related to how you flashed or simply an apn issue. You can go to network settings, mobile, access point names, and reset those to default. That should pull the apns from your sim so you'll have the correct apns.
As for keyboards and browsers, I don't know what is included in the international stock versions, but they are subject to change based on initial setup/default language and rom version. As for the OCX vs OPX, I'm not sure what the difference is. I know 'O' is for Oreo but for the rest I don't know. Maybe one is gsm one is cdma? I don't know. I do know that the thread I linked to will have more info and be able to help you better since it's for your version of the Z2. Sorry I can't help you more, but post any questions you have over there and they should be able to sort you out.

Unable to Flash due to multiple issues on S9

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) Exynos, branded under Australian Optus and have been trying to load the latest Lineage Rom onto it but have ran into a multitude of issues. I'm going to list all of the things I've done and the Errors I've recieved
Developer Tools Enabled -> OEM Unlock Enabled (Forced Wipe) -> Developer Tools Enabled -> OEM Already Enabled -> USB Debugging Enabled -> ADB Tools installed and enabled (Computer trusted)
From Heimdall I tried flashing Lineages own bootloader from their website. I ended up getting the error "Failed to Receive Session End Confirmation"
My phone would also display the message "Only Official Released Binaries Are Allowed To Be Flashed"
I was also told RMM State played a part in this and if it was Prenormal, it wouldn't work. I went to check and sure enough, my phones RMM State was Prenormal
Despite this, I tried sideloading the packages anyway because I was told that just because it said that message, didn't mean it failed. Those ended up also failing, telling me the installation was aborted because of a validity error
From there, I was told to use Odin. That failed. I ended up switching to TWRPs bootloader instead and that also failed
After that I tried Flashing the Stock Android 10 Rom but that didn't solve any of the issues
I also tried downgrading to Android 8 Oreo to see if I could load everything from there but got the error SW REV CK FAIL
Dr Ketons Guide did not work as I was unable to Flash TWRP so I couldn't follow that route
I have the no Verity File downloaded but no way to apply it. Same with Magisk and Magisk Manager
Does anyone know what I can possibly do to try and get these things loaded onto my phone. I really would like to get them working as my main sim card is Vodafone so I'm unable to use it with this phone. Flashing the Stock unbranded XSA rom didn't seem to fix this issue either. The phone isn't under any contract or warranty, however I have no idea if its locked or unlocked.
Thanks
if you are in the prenormal state that means you can't modify your phone for like a week, just wait for the time. then it should work
by reading what you did, I didn't see anything wrong. it's just the prenormal thing that you have to wait for 7 days
edit: also forgot to mention if you failed to modify the phone after the prenormal state ends, you might need another 7 days to be able to modify your phone again

So I waited 7 Days and its still prenormal. What should I do now. I tried flashing anyway to see if it was just a visual thing but it still failed. The phone was on for the whole 7 days.

I don't know it will work or not, have you try to flash the lastest stock firmware, do the initial first android setup (just skip everything), once you finish the setup go to download mode then try to flash the twrp through odin.
I used that method everytime I failed at flashing new rom. Hope it's also works for you, since my phone is also came from Australia

Unfortunately I have already tried that and it ended up not working

Can't flash TWRP attempt #3983532, SM-T830

FYI I'm definitely a newbie to android and had 0 knowledge of any of this when starting so this very well could be something stupid and easy I'm missing..
Device: Samsung galaxy tab S4 wifi version SM-T830 (Now on android 10)
Cliff notes:
I was on android 8.1.0 (oreo), tried rooting via a patched root(?) i think it's called, without twrp using magisk. magisk showed it was not rooted
Tried flashing TWRP still on oreo, odin showed a failure to flash with no other information, just the standard (<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1))
I tried different odin and twrp version combinations with the steps above, i couldn't find which version of odin to use on oreo as their docs seem to list every android version but oreo and had other people suggest maybe not using the latest TWRP since I wasn't on the latest version of android. None of the combos worked
Finally got updated to android 10 today, using one of the latest odin versions (3.14.1) and a couple different TWRP files found either on twrp.me or on here (twrp-3.5.0_9-0-gts4lwifi.img.tar / TWRP_T83x_3.4.0-6.tar) but still nothing, same message in odin.
One last thing that might be helpful is that I only just updated today to android 10 because by some magic my device finally showed updates in the settings of the tablet itself. Previously I had tried samsung's smart switch which found updates but got stuck on 0% for the install the 50 times i tried it. I'm also still unclear as to how I'd flash a custom recovery(?) to get myself to a good version of android. I know how to in odin but I don't know where I can find trustworthy files that will work for my device. I've downloaded some with Frija but have been nervous about trying it as I'm just too new to this to know if that's always safe to do or if I'd cause more issues..
So yeah sorry that was still long, shortest version: Can't flash TWRP no matter what I do. Does anyone have ideas on what else I can try or does anything stick out as blatantly wrong? I'm at such a loss with all of this.
I find it hilarious that after like a week and a half 5+ hour days trying to figure this out, i finally give in and post my question. Within 30 min I find the answer and flashing works lol... I saw user Mentalmuso mention in one post, if Odin errors to restart the device and PC. Go figure, that worked. How stupid that you have to completely shutdown your workspace on error lol! Anyway hope someone facing the same issue sees this. Good luck!
