Hello navroza
please do read more threads about your phone here on XDA. there are always phone-relatet special ways to unlock bootloaders and to modify your phone in the correct way. to do that there is build special software that only works for your phone. You can damage your phone instantly if you use any other software of recovery- or bootimages that is not made for your phone.
Hi Everyone,
I know, I fell in a noob trap doing this and I already hate myself for it : I tried to OTA update my rooted Honor 7 and the device remained stuck in TWRP after reboot.
Log showed the following message in red : "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
I proceeded to a wipe and managed to start the system. This allowed me to unroot my phone, thinking I would then be able to update from a clean basis.
Unfortunately, the same error occurred and I am now stuck in TWRP again...
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me some leads to get out of my noob trap...
Thank you very much !
Edit : I finally understood how i managed to start system (I deleted the update.zip file and wiped again). Still, now how can I update to the latest version without getting stuck again in TWRP ? Thank you !

You have to flash stock recovery before update and unroot of course.

Thank you for your answer ! I found the image of the stock recovery but I can only find instructions for windows and I run on mac... Do you happen to know how can I get to flash the recovery image using terminal ?
Thank you again !
Hi, I need help with my phone, I accidentally changed the permissions (using ROM Toolbox Lite) from the system folder making the phone crash shortly after. Now it shows the Alcatel logo and shuts off and back on in recovery mode.
I'm new with adb and CWM/TWRP stuff, but I can't find the device using adb (I installed the usb drivers correctly) , it only finds on sideload and even then I get "error: closed"...and with CWM/TWRP I can't use sideload because:
"You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this devices" (and I used 1.0.36)
And with zip file (CWM) method I get:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Please help, I can't find the stock rom for this phone

Hi, My 6044d also in boot loop, not rooted so I can't get stock boot.img or recovery.img in order to compile CWM and CM from source for this particular phone. Please someone post it and of course, when compiled I'll post back de results for all of us that need a custom ROM for this phone. It's crazy that this phone is not so popular and the common custom roms don't have one for it out of the box, that's why I decided to compile it myself, but I can't get my boot.img or recovery.img to configure build environment for this especific phone.
Thanks in advance!

Hey, sorry for taking so long to answer, i actually got 2 mega.co.nz links for this, another user gave them to me ^^
https://mega.nz/#F!XAkUDajB!EaYNGGsABPapaVFkeGNqTw
and
https://mega.nz/#!Ncx2VASY!gfxVbnQj9HK9WUGiidKY83pJZA7ToTQu5RFDfu2miWE
I found your other post too, and given that im a noob i tried to reply there, then i was trying to private message you (failed cause im not smart xD) and now im here :3
Tell me if something goes wrong, i didnt check this myself cause i sent my phone to repair, it was so broken they didnt knew it was rooted xD
Best of Luck ^^
And yeah, this phone is not popular at all, not even Alcatel cares, i emailed them to see if they were gonna release some updates, didnt even got a reply until now
But well, im gonna check out what youre doing, sowwie im a copycat xD
Good luck again ^^
I'm a little bit late but if you still need or someone else needs it just let me know as I have Carliv Touch and stuck recovery for this device.
Little late as well, but do you still have that recovery? i picked up my phone again and i wanna mess with it
I've downloaded the stock ROM from the acer site, put it on my SD card and went into recovery to apply the update from the sdcard. When trying to update I got the following error:
e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now, I've searched everywhere and tried at least 20 different things without anything working. I've unlocked the bootloader and flashed the boot.img which was inside the update file I downloaded from the acer site, I've tried flashing certain files seperatly etc. Another problem is, there is no system.img or recovery.img or any other img file in the stock rom from acer which doesn't allow me to flash it via the fastboot. So either I need to find those img files, or I need a fix for the error above.
Any suggestions?
(One more thing, I really can't try using a custom recovery to disable signature verification because the Liquid Z330 is such an unsupported phone, there is no cwm or twrp recovery for it. I also don't wanna risk trying another phone's cwm or twrp on the Z330 because I don't have the stock recovery.img file in case it doesn't work.)
UPDATE: I found an older version of twrp for the phone and I was able to disable signature verification but when trying to install the zip I get this error log:
Updating partition details...
*in red* E: Unable to mount '/system'
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Any new suggestions as to what might be the problem?
Update2:
So after Ysfzone posted this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/acer-liquid-z330-unbrick-unlock-t3520952
I was able to restore my acer liquid z330.
I did actually run into some trouble with Ysfzone's instructions, and found a way around it, it should be the second comment on the post.
My only problem now is that the system is restored it's booting into demo mode. When I try to update it downloads the update and reboots into TWRP and when I then reboot to the system it says that the install failed. I think it would automatically install the update with the stock recovery but because I have TWRP installed I have to find the downloaded update file and install it manually.
So I have two options:
Either someone tells me where the update download folder is, or someone provides me with the stock recovery.
Any help?
Exactly same issues
Hey there!
I have the exact same issues. I have been trying to unbrick my phone, but nothing has actually worked. My phone is still stuck on the white screen with the acer logo.
Did you make any progress?
Were you able to find out anything that works??
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
MK

(If you don't want to read the story, read the last sentence.)
I actually was able to get rid of the MD5 check error by creating a MD5 file myself. You basically have to download an application that gets you the MD5 sum. I used this: http://www.fast-files.com/getfile.aspx?file=127067 (just reuploaded it because I forgot where I got it from). Using the exe file in there I generated the MD5 file in this format: d2a862b7c1a8f66b6d1be32f400dc73e *update.zip. After that I tried installing the zip again, this time I got the same error except with the MD5 error missing. After contacting Acer support, I was basically told that I needed to send my info back so I could get contacted for a repair. But since I flashed the recovery it probably wouldn't fall under warranty.
So basically try emailing Acer support and try and get them to repair it. I havent found a way to fix it myself.
One more thing. It wasn't my phone to begin with, I just tried to fix it for someone. That person already has a new phone and I won't be trying anything anymore to fix the phone since I don't have it anymore.
Hello everyone,
I've been in the same situation as you until few hours.
I've also tried a lot of things which doesn't work at all ( like extracting system.img from the Acer update.zip ).
I've seen that every time I tried to install an update.zip package I get the same error:
E: footer is wrong.
E: signature verification failed
And I solved it by unzipping and zipping it again.
Then when I was able to flash it and get my phone back.
if it still doesn't work with the stock recovery, you may try with a custom recovery ( like twrp, you can easily find it on google )
If you have any questions about it, I can try to answer them.
Hope it'll help !

Thanks for the suggestion. Just out of curiousity I guess I'll ask the phone back and try it.
I've tried it again, but the problem isn't because the signature verification fails, its something else. Idk what.
Hello Mounir9912,
Have you try to re-download the file from acer website, or/and to check the zip file with winzip or winrar ?
I've read that you created a md5 file, for my part I just disable md5 verification from TWRP.
It seems like you've got a system mount error, do you still get it if you wipe all partition on your phone (system, cache, data, dalvik cache) ?
Finally, I don't know if it can be useful, but I have a TWRP backup of my z330
I'll stay available if you still have trouble.

You might just be the godsend I needed. I've already tried everything you said including wiping and disabling the verification. Could you upload the twrp backup somewhere? It might be the only thing that can save this phone aside from paying way too much money to acer because of a voided warrantee.
Hello Mounir9912,
Here the link to download the twrp backup of my z330:

Thanks, I'll try it when I get home (in a few hours)
damn, mega is being an asshole. I downloaded it but while downloading I accidentally unplugged the power cable from my laptop and it shut down so I had to redownload. When I downloaded again it cut me off at like 90% because of exceeding the bandwidth quota of 5GB. Now I have to either pay a monthly fee or wait 5 hours...
Hey pixie,
I've actually restored it via twrp, but it still isn't booting past the logo. Could you maybe make a backup of all the partitions except the boot, system and data partitions? The problem is probably in one of those partitions since restoring the boot or system didn't fix it.
more specifically, the ones I could backup are:
Modem, Aboot, pad, modemst1, modemst2, misc, splash, fsg, persist, cache, devinfo, oem

Sorry for my bad english
Now my phone stuck on demo mode.. i want the stock recovery.img
hello,
first sorry for the delay.
As far as i remember, I've checked all when I backup the phone. But all that things you list are not unknown, I've seen them when the phone was still bricked. By the way, I even made a backup at this moment, so if you think that it can be useful..
Ysfzone, have you try to use qfil to get you're stock recovery ?
