HELP - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bymistake deleted the system while playing with twrp so someone suggested me to flash a new rom so I downloaded the Phoenix rom zip and transferred it into my sd card and inserted it in my tab and then I tried to install the rom but it says no md5 file found and zip verification failed

Just turn off md5 checking.

How

It just restarts if I uncheck zip file signature verification

It must be corrupt download then. It installed fine for me.
Why not just flash the stock firmware?

Any download can become corrupt. All it takes is one byte.

Try extracting the recovery.img from the update that was downloaded in your download folder (you should be very quick in transferring the update to your known location as soon as it was downloaded or otherwise it will gets deleted the moment it found that your recovery was modified) and install the stock recovery. After that try re-downloading the update and this time it should work.
Recovery.img file can be found in the framework folder of the update. @jithumon is the guy who was successful in updating the OTA after his device was rooted and bootloader unlocked. Better, checking with him if the above method doesn't work for you.
Dont forget to hit thanks if the above solution helped.

my friend,
thank you but could you advice please where i can find the file exactly ?and if i can copy to external sd card and download it from recovery it will success?
After the update gets downloaded, you can find it in the internal or external sd card within the download folder. You have to connect it to the computer access both download folders on computer and see where it is getting downloaded when you hit update. Just after finished download, try copying the update file and copy it on your computer. Then you can extract the recovery. Just a few seconds delay in copying will delete the file from your sdcard. So careful and act quickly.

[Q] [q] how to manually flash ota update

hello every one,i have desire 816 w (a5 dug j__15)
the problem is that i have downloaded ota official android update( 5.0.2) but because of having custom recovery,i couldnt use it,i simply copy the zip file to pc then flashed the stock recovery and put the update zip file back to download folder(where it has been before) on phone storage,then rebooted the phone,but it does not find update and when i check for new software update it says you have to download it,(it is already placed on download folder on phone storage)what should i do to not to download 839MB again?
i also tried updating from stock recovery but it says failed to map file
i flashed twrp and tried installing zip but it has error too,i'm really confused
thanks
That's easy you need a handy file manager on your phone (I personally use ES file explorer); put the complete OTA.zip somewhere else first. then hit download update, after a couple of minutes turn off your Wifi and mobile data, the download will be paused. now simply delete the small file in your file manager and replace it with your own complete file (names will naturally be the same, so no problem there). then turn on your internet again, it will recognize the file and proceed with update without further download.

Unable to flash update.zip, assert failed error

Hi,
I have a honor 8 pro device duk L09C675B140. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp. However the root didn't happen completely but my device works fine. I recently tried flashing a zip file to update it to B150. The zip file was valid. But I keep getting the assert failed error. I tried everything I could. Please let me know what is going wrong. Here is the log file:
Edit: I can't add the log file because of xda's policy.

I can't flash update.zip from twrp .
update.zip is meant to be flashed through the stock recovery. Or you can use the fullOTA flasher to flash those updates through TWRP (you will need 3 update files)

Bricked my phone, please help

Ok, that does not seem too bad, yet.
I suppose you are using system.img downloaded from web.
That image has given many that same error.
Best to use your system.img.
And the error flashing twrp, is common when using the nougat command or nougat recovery on Oreo.
Solutions.
Find your firmware on pro-teammt
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=Bnd-&firmware_page=0
Then download update.zip
Extract files.
Get hauwei update extractor.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0xkKEyI85nY9x4Fjr1AWJl
Extract the system.img
Then fastboot flash it.
Recovery:
Oreo command== fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_ramdisk
Twrp name depends on version used. I use build 4 from here

yes there is a bug either in the extractor or the update files. they all do it. Go to the settings tab and take check mark off verify header.

I flashed the system.img but now the phone bootloops. It could be possible I got the wrong system.img because I don't know exactly what firmware my phone was on before I messed up. I only know it was EMUI8. Is there a way to completely reflash everything?

I tried rebooting to stock recovery in order to factory reset but it only shows me the update, power off and reboot options so no factory reset possibility. I read through the entire thread you linked here but I'm very confused as to what to do with the full OTA file. I'm on a broken EMUI8 that bootloops and I'd like to clean flash EMUI8 again so I can flash an AOSP Oreo rom after that. What do I do?

Just made updates to guide last night. I think it is worded simple now.
Download my update "package" from step E
Extract it to a folder on your PC.
You are on emui8, so copy the HWOTA folder from the extracted zip to your sdcard
Also put hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip on sdcard.
Put the three (3) update files from pro-teammt.ru in the HWOTA8 folder on your sdcard
Put card into phone
Boot into twrp
Select install
Choose sdcard as source
Install hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip

So far so good but the FULLOTA update file I got from that website only has one file (update.zip) Do I need to extract that? And if so, what 3 files do I put on my sdcard?

No do not extract it.
On that site, next to link for update file, is "file list"
Click this. It gives links for all three files.
Put those three zip files into hwota folder

That should be fine.
Usually means you have other adb also , probably from other tool.
If you have twrp , not need to use the terp recovery installer

Well the problem is I don't have TWRP and none of the versions i've tried to install work. The installer doesn't work either, it says closing adb daemon and stays on that.

Dude, you're the man! I got my device up and running again. I'll probably stay on EMUI8 since it's more stable than the current AOSP rom. I wanna root it tho so can I just use the lazy recovery tool to install twrp and simply install magisk?

I got it working on EMUI8 but I decided to flash the aosp rom cuz i prefer stock android. Can't seem to get twrp to install tho. I keep getting "1 was unexpected at this time"

[SOLVED] Trying to get stock recovery back

Hi, I flashed TWRP to be able to install magisk on my friend's Honor 7x (BND-L21 C432) and now that magisk is flashed and configured I want to go back to the stock recovery. I've downloaded the update.zip with the Firmware Finder app, and I've extracted the recovery_ramdisk.img from the UPDATE.APP file.
But once flashed (with fastboot) I can't access it, it gives me ERROR MODE, like if the img was invalid.
Any help?
Thanks!
Did you download and flashed the correct build file? Which recovery you flashed?

I was using correct version, but I wasn't using HuaweiUpdateExtractor. After using it to get the img it worked well.

this install zip, should restore the recovery-from-boot.p file, the file that causes stock recovery to be replaced. I have not confirmed on this device but it is a generic solution that should work.

Thanks anyway, I was able to *correctly* extract the img file
What does that file exactly? Is there a backup of the recovery on the phone?? I assuming we're talking about normal recovery, not the second eRecovery thing, right?

Stock Android has a feature to make a recovery image from the boot.img. By checking the contents of the recovery partition and comparing a checksum. When the sum does not match, the file "recovery_from_boot.p" takes over and builds it's own recovery image.
When you install twrp and "swipe to allow system modification" that file gets renamed to end with ".bak"
This zip file verifies the recovery script is on the phone e, and if it is, it will remove the .bak extension . That makes the system .restore (make) stock recovery on the next boot up
Thanks for the info!
