I bought my Sony Tablet S from Singapore 1 year back. Now I am in India and I tried updating the device through the system update in setting and every time it downloaded the full package and ended with an Error Code:5 update failed.
Now I thought to going to do it offline by flash Rom. I already rooted my device and changed the region to India using "SonyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v5.3"
After downloading the actually update from the sony info site "signed-nbx03_026-ota-121116082" i copied to the SD card
During the installation of the file through "install from SD card" command, the updates are getting failed with an error
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I used OTA versions of v5a
India and Singapore and neither worked.
My Tablet is working fine with android 3.2.1. But I want to upgrade to V4.1
Please help.
Thank you.

Can you please try to install (either file) through recovery and then use "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" and post it here so we can see what is going on.
Thanks

Hi,
Change region to US, download US ICS - R1 / R5 (not r5a), and flash it.
If you really need india's fw - then get fw, decrypt it, make it prerooted (with AiO) and flash (with AiO).

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
Hello, I bought ASUS Zenfone 5 three days ago, and I was trying to update it since I saw there were some new firmware released but I occurred in some very strange troubles.
I checked the net and I didn't find a solution for my problem.
My model is: ASUS_T00F
Android Version: 4.3
Base Band: 1419_1.4.22.2_0515
Kernel: 3.4.43-gf4c8a50 [email protected] #1 Sun Jun 1 04:23:52 CST 2014
Build: ASUS_T00F_CN_user_1.19.40.51_20190601_56281 5 release-keys 010175_201901130121
I didn't find this firmware in the whole net... and I wanted to change it.
The fact is that I CAN'T!!
There is no way to rename the file so that the system could read it as an update (I tried every solutions described on the internet).
So I went in droidboot and it says:
IFWI VERSION: 59.29
SERIAL NUM: -----------------
DROIDBOOT VERSION: 2.1 BUILD Jun 26 2014 11:52:00
PRODUCT CUCC_A500 (!?!??!?!?!?!)
I turn in recovery mode...
But when I try to change the firmware with ADB it always gives me an error
With 1.14 WW (I read that someone fixed the problem this way) it says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:end of footer from /tmp/update.zip not 0xFFFF (File exists)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
E:Can't open /tmp/update-script.log
E:Cannot load volume /misc!
It gives me the same error also with 1.15 WW..
Instead with 1.16 both WW and CN it gives me the error of a wrong SKU, claiming that the mobile's SKU is CUCC:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Device image SKU: CUCC
OTA image SKU: CN (or WW when I use WW firmware 1.16)
assert failed: getprop("ro.buld.asus.sku") == "CN"
return code 8E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 8)
E: fota_return_code 403
Intallation aborted.
E:Cannot load volume /misc!
What can I do to solve this problem!?!? Can some of you help me??? I want to change my rom... (
Thank you

You were sold a Zenfone 5 with a CN rom installed, I'm not sure how they do it in china but what they end up doing is make the rom WW but the phone stays CN or CUCC, your case is a bit unique because they ended up flashing a CN rom over the CUCC, god knows why they'd do that.
What really confused me about your post was the fact that you can't change the name of the update file. I don't know what you mean as you can download the latest update which is 1.17 CUCC, extract it and you'll find another zip folder within and rename that zip folder to something like ASUS_T00F_CUCC_user_1.20.40.51_20200601_56281 5 release-keys 010175_202001130121 and put it into the root of the INTERNAL MEMORY not external. If you notice I renamed the folder with future dates and a newer version (1.20), in essence it would be a 1.17 but this is just to trick the phone into thinking its a new update. This has to be done because the person who flashed that rom into your zenfone put the version at 1.19 which doesn't exist, the latest firmware if 1.18 and its only available for CN, TW and WW. The latest version for CUCC is 1.17 and you'll have to use that to successfully flash your one. You wont need ADB I think. Remember that you'll have to rename the file with future dates and version, the date is located right after the underscore after the version (1.20.40.51_20200601 ). This is the only way I can think of and I think its the only way possible. After you've flashed it you can probably downgrade with ADB and flash WW. Once you flash WW with ADB it should make the rom WW and the phone WW so when you go to droidboot it'll say something like PRODUCT WW_A500. Make sure you download the right update file as there are different files for all the variants of zenfone 5(z560, z580).
Let me know if it worked.

Hey there,
Could someone plz tell me if there is anyway to flash Stock recovery on my z2 ? I want to install the OTA update but having custome recovery means the process gonna fail.
To avoid that problem I downloaded the latest firmware through XperiFirm but unfortunately unpacking was aborted for some unknown reason ... Tried to unpack again then a message of "missing files " appears" . Now I can't download it through XperiFirm again as my connection is slow right now and the only option is the OTA which is much smaller by 1 gb ( XperiFirm files =1.3 gb,,,, OTA=~260 mb).
Any help ?
