Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"
Hello
I am new in the World of Xiaomi and MIUI
I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it had the Oppomart MIUI-Version ist 66.77.33.00 (LHMCNCH)I Stable on it. I am a german user.
I found out that the Rom was not official and it contained useless apps and I couldnt use root either. So I wanted to flash different Roms. After some tries and researches I could flash an inofficial german Rom. But with that I couldnt use Xposed Installer so I wanted an original Rom. I flashed miui_HMNote2_5.10.15_8097474ec2_5.0. But that seems to be completely for chinese users. You can choose english language but there is no google account and no google apps. No play store, nothing. just chinese browsers, chinese apps and the MI Store completely in, guess what, chinese.
And now I cannot flash any Rom. I tried to go back to other Roms, like the german miuidecuro_REDMINOTE2_5.9.24_5.0 that i used before but nothing worked. I keep getting an error telling me "Install update.zip signature verification failed" I wiped all data, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I would even be happy to have the oppomart version back. It was annoying but had at least the playstore
Please help me
If you have any rom > 5.10.15 you can't flash previously roms.
Install TWRP or an old fastboot rom

Thanks. I never used TWRP. Do I have to download and install it on the phone as an apk file or on the Computer? Sorry I am new and when I google these things I only get more confused. What is the difference between the flashtools MiPhone2015731 and TWRP?
Is it possible to use Stock Android on the note 2 instead of MIUI?

Xioami has started to use licence or something for their roms. So multilanguage rom cant acceptable anymore on orginal system. Twrp is recovery mod for Android devices. Its very simple to install and use. And no you cant. Because nobody doesnt make any stable aosp or something rom. We are waiting.
mee to.
put rom file into internal sotrage, then update ok.
Visit TWRP by going to install and then there must be a hack because you have to do away
Ok. Is there a TWRP App for all phones or does it have to be for Redmi Note 2?
I download the apk, put it on the SD Card and install it from there, is that right? Can I flash the hermes rom from there for Europe?
I never did that so I really have no clue how to do that. The phone is nearly useless right now. I gotta fix this somehow. Thanks for everyone who helps

Hi.
Cant you install a rooted stock rom with stock recovery? Then you need the right TWRP for our phone.
Heres one place where you can find it. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sf0fsm8vx2o948/twrp287.zip
First try flash it with Mi recovery.
If not you need to download an app from playstore "flashify" with it you flash TWRP. You need a img file so you may have to unzip the recovery.zip
I have flashed Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly which is rock stable. You should flash Chainfires last Supersu and install Google Now Launcher if you like something more "stock" and have a appdrawer..
Thanks
Knievel

Ok thanks I will try that. A few hours ago I managed to flash the xiaomi.eu european version of the 5.10.15. Can I stll flash Roms with that?
Another problem is that I cannot use Xposed Installer and google now launcher. Is that normal?

ok good.
Then i would go to play store an download Flashify . Unzip the TWRP zip, and flash the recovery.img with flashify.
You can also backup kernel and recovery with this app. Its very easy and straight forward.
When you got flashed TWRP , use a file explorer with root privileges and delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak" placed in System folder. If not you may loose TWRP after reboot.
TWRP is vital so you can make an nandroid backup of everything if/when something goes wrong. And of course flash everything else.
About Google Now Launcher, flash last Supersu zip from Chainfire in TWRP. Then you get permission to change default launcher.
I dont use Xposed for now so you have to Google it.
Only thing i miss is "Reboot to recovery" option, but a lot of apps can do this.
Thanks

Ok thanks, I downloaded it. What exactly is the difference between Boot Image and Recovery Image?
Is there an AOSP Rom you can recommend? I really want to get rid of MIUI.

Hi.
Boot image here is kernel.
Im no big fan of Miui myself , but with the right launcher its quite ok.
I have tried a couple of the aosp roms here on Xda . Find them a little buggy, and battery life isnt very good either compared to Miui.
If/when Xiaomi release all needed sources, i think we will get good and stable Aosp and CM roms to flash too.
Thanks
Knievel

Yes I don't like it either. But there are too many bugs in the Custom Roms. I just want a bug free Rom where I can use xposed
Hi,
I have the redmi note 2 with 5.10.22 and I can't flash the TWRP, I tried everything but nothing helps.
Any ideas?

Just unzip the twrp zip. You can do it with a Root Explorer. Then you get a img file.
This img file you can flash with an app called Flazhify ( Google play Store, its free ).
Have you tried this?
Thanks

Can you please share a link for old fastboot rom for redmi note 2?

I finally flashed MIUI 6 via FASTBOOT.
After that I copy the international version from here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-12-3-4.29098/

Hi,
My phone came with 7.00.66 and it's not rooted. I tried to flash xiaomi eu roms via updater app, but it failed several times.
Also i tried to install twrp via updater app, but it also failed. Can you help me please. :crying:
I was thinking to do this:
1) flash official developer rom via updater app, and hopefully it won't show error, because it is official rom , and it is rooted (?)
2) flash twrp using this method
HOW TO FLASH TWRP RECOVERY VIA FLASHIFY
Warning: Redmi note 2 only (other phone need specific image)
Me and this forum are not responsable for any damage. Do at your own risk
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
5. you're now ready to reboot in twrp pressing "reboot now" from flashify.
you can also turn off your phone, press power and volume up and you'll be in twrp.
3) install xiaomi eu rom with twrp
Is this correct way?
Hi,
First time posting here. I have a Le MAX 2 x822 with a custom ROM from the Chinese vendor (55.66.001133S (stable) and want to install CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/cm13-max2-s19-umbrellateam-spainteam-t3471863).
I have read the basic steps:
1. install adb driver (which one should I get?)
2. unlock bootloader
3. install TWRP (which one should I get?)
4. flash CM13 rom
I wanted to know if I have to flash a stock ROM before getting CM13 or can I just follow the steps above directly.
Thank you

I've read some places that getting the adb driver on Windows 10 doesn't always work. Do you know where I can get one that works?

I have a few questions re TWRP:
1.
Are there different versions available for the X720? If yes, which ones (including download link)?
I believe that I have installed this one ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862668751 ) which seems to differ from this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-leeco-le-pro-3/
2.
How are the partitions organized on the Le Pro 3? See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/ref-lex720-64gb-partition-infos-t3493528
What is the difference between system and systemimage (as shown in TWRP)?
3.
Does the Le Pro 3 TWRP port still have any bugs?
For instance, it says that system is not mounted and, therefore, I cannot easily restore system partition. I tried to mount it but thereafter the phone did not boot.
Is it normal that system apps get restored if I only restore the data partion?
Thanks.

Sometimes I have the same problem, /system couldn't be mounted.
I solved it like this:
In TWRP go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Check System Partition -> Repair or Change File System -> Change File System -> EXT4.
Has anyone installed this successfully on 727 US version?

On my x720 I use another one, the latest V4 from chinese sites :
https://mega.nz/#!EVcUCY4J!nN9r170x1eL9uvZg2p4h-q_M9T3I3HxcdSRigl2DNj4
I have now installed TWRP v4 but still have problems to restore a backup.
First, I backed up everything. I tried to restore boot, system, systemimage and data. I did not restore efs, recovery and firmware. Do I have to restore firmware? What is that? What is the difference between system and system image? In any case, I got a lot of errors and the phone is very slow after I restored boot, system, systemimage and data.
Thanks!
The TWRP versions I tried (including v4) have problems and do not reliably mount my encrypted data partition. (I had a similar problem with the initial TWRP ports for the Elephone P8000. The problems were fixed and subsequent ports worked without problems.)
Moreover, if I boot into TWRP recovery the screen is flickering from time to time (probably just a cosmetic issue).
Is there an updated TWRP version 5 or something? Could you please link to the Chinese website where the TWRP port for the LePro3 is made available? Thanks!
I am trying to unlock the bootloader right now using the fastboot oem unlock-go command and it is not working on the US variety. I have also enabled the oem unlocking in dev options, as well as, debugging. Has the US variant changed things to prevent the bootloader from being unlocked?

Hello,
I've installed a custom recovery, SuperSU and the xposed framework on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus and yesterday I've received an OTA update with wich I was (as expected) unable to update my phone. (it just rebooted to TWRP and did nothing) On their website I was only able to find an older build. I think what I have to do is install the stock recovery(to install the update then switch back to a custom one), but I don't know where to get it from.

Exactly the same here. I flashed TWRP so I can install SuperSU for root access, now I've flashed back the stock recovery to apply the update and it ends in "Error".
It's also not possible to apply the downloaded zip-package manually (not via TWRP and not via Cyanogen recovery).

It's not an option for me to do a full reset each time they (who ever it might be in the future) release an update.
I bought this phone because I thought it might be easier to update/ get root access compared with e.g. Samsung devices, but in the end I must say Cyanogen OS is really bad and I hope there will be some mods soon, so I can get these bad/restrictive stock-OS off my phone...

I haven't checked myself but linuxct seems to say its an img file. You need to flash img files with fastboot. Have you tried unziping the .zip file and seeing if there are img files (e.g system.img, recovery.img)
If you don't know how to use fastboot here is a good tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

You can enable that inside Developer options > Root access. There's no need to either alter your system nor unlock your bootloader if your only concern is root privileges.

Cyanogen is no more, Wileyfox's switching to an AOSP-based ROM through the following OTAs, which will be Android 7.0 Nougat and will start rolling on february. You've more info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/how-to/official-wileyfox-statement-regarding-t3528844

No, I think that is only there in CyanogenMod (the community based custom rom) not in the Cyanogen OS (the proprietary OS for businesses). As far as I know no OEM can release an android phone with Gapps and root. We have an option there called "OEM unlock" which will allow you to unlock your bootloader (from a computer) but nothing else that would grant root out of box.

Just flashing back to the stock recovery does not remove SuperSU. Due to your error I'm assuming you have a non-systemless root. In order to remove SuperSU you must flash http://downloadmirror.co/Uot/UPDATE-unSU.zip (with TWRP), and if that doesn't work I would recommend flashing back to full stock cyngn from: https://cyngn.com/support.
Cheers!

Thank you, but unfortunately I've read this hint after trying the unsu method described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
I've installed the unsu-zip package and flashed the original boot.img via TWRP. It did not help, but since I did this I have another warning message when booting: "The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode."
In the end I managed to get the update by installing the original zip package again and after this the OTA update worked.
What still remains is the new "dm-verity error message" right after booting....
Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can find the files to manually update to the new AOSP based ROM. Or has Wileyfox not released it?
(Or has anyone captured the PTA link?)
There is currently no new AOSP ROM. I've received only Cyanogen OS update (probably the last one?). According the Wileyfox statement on facebook, the new ROM (Nougat) will be released in the february...

Nah they are releasing an update first to transition to their new rom.

Then later (between February and end of Q1) they will release nougat. Its an easy mistake to make as they aren't too clear about it.
Thanks anyway.
It is unclear what kind of ROM will they release. According the statement it should be bloatware free OS
AOSP, Lineage OS, something else?
I really like cyanogenmod, so I hope there will be Lineage OS ROM in the future...
The new update
Hi, I'm not in the least technologically minded so please don't take the mick when I ask, will the new update delete the cyanogen os? Or is that something I will have to do? If so, what is safe to delete without damaging my phone?
Wow, that was a couple more questions then I had thought!
Thanks all.
Hello,
iam very frustrated by this OTA thing..
I had TWRP and SuperSU installed and i've tried everything but I can't install this OTA -.-" everytime i've tried it it gives me just an "ERROR".
1. I flashed the unSU zip in twrp.
2. I set the switch for stock recovery in developer options.
3 I fastboot flashed the stock recovery.img
4 I fastboot flashed the stock system.img
Then rebooted and did the update it just runs to like 20% and stops and then it shows me "ERROR" ..
Can somebody experienced help me pls This update is annoying I had to block it out of my mobile data use because it would eat up all my mobile data
EDIT: Maybe I have to relock my bootloader?

I don't think it'd be a good idea to mess with the bootloader for now. Also, I uninstalled SuperSU from the app. If you have xposed I suggest you uninstall that too (At least that's what I did). Sorry I can't help more I 'm still a little newby myself.

It is unclear what kind of ROM will they release. According the statement it should be bloatware free OS
AOSP, Lineage OS, something else?
I really like cyanogenmod, so I hope there will be Lineage OS ROM in the future...

Sadly, an OEM cannot rely on community-driven software, so it surely won't be CyanogenMod/Lineage. But, that doesn't mean that in the future we wouldn't be able to enjoy it thanks to custom ROM development

Hi, I'm not in the least technologically minded so please don't take the mick when I ask, will the new update delete the cyanogen os? Or is that something I will have to do? If so, what is safe to delete without damaging my phone?
Wow, that was a couple more questions then I had thought!
Thanks all.

Welcome to the community!
This depends on what you understand about 'new update'. If the new update you're talking about is the currently rolling OTA, the one that's getting prompted on every phone right now, no, that won't delete CyanogenOS yet, but prepare the device to upgrade to a CyanogenOS-free Android 7.0 ROM, which will happen in a month or so. You won't have to do anything but let the phone update each and every single time it requests it. Cyanogen itself is not something you can remove as a user, unless you install what's called a custom ROM (this means, a different ROM software than the one provided by Wileyfox), so, you don't need to worry about it but keeping your device up-to-date as soon as it prompts you with an update ^_^

Try relocking like you said, but before, flash everything included in the latest CyanogenOS fasboot image zip (from here). To flash all of them at once, execute each and every of the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
Once done, relock your bootloader by doing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Please note, this probably doesn't fully lock your bootloader, as some propietary DRM keys might've been lost during the unlock process...
Good luck and please, keep us posted!
Here is the last version at the moment of the Maze alpha ROM (tested only in 4GB version)
It's a complete ROM, not an OTA update, it can be flashed using the provided TWRP 3.2.1 version, I ported from a Jemmini (many thanks) version for Bluboo S1.
Unfortunately, the TWRP cannot be flashed (issue with the touch panel), only launched by fastboot.
The ROM is the same as the v8 official one except that it is rooted using Magisk 15.2 and busybox 1.27.2 (thanks to osm0sis) is installed in /system/xbin
There is also a SPFlashTool clean version of this ROM, useful in case of troubles (as official: no root, no busybox)
1- Reboot you phone in fastboot mode : adb reboot bootloader
2- Flash the provided TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_4G_twrp-321.img
3- Reboot to TWRP recovery
4- copy in your SDCARD and install, in the running TWRP, the downloaded ROM V09 : Maze_Alpha_4GB_v09_TWRP.zip
The first boot take some minutes so be patient.
Here the SPFlashTool versions :
MAZE_Alpha_4GB_V09_SPFT.zip
Here, if needed, my V09 TWRP backup (new one from 21/04/2018) :
TWRP_BACKUP_MAZE_Alpha_A_V09.zip
Credits to Jemmini and Magisk team.

Yes i know its sad, i did a backup of mine and root it but it didnt work the backup i had to do clean flash, if we can manage to have a twrp and a source of the stock roms we could make a deabloat and put update apps ( menssages, calendar etc) and put mods for awsome features i dont see RR or lineage putting thier hands on this phone
Thanks for this Rom.

No it is already rooted.
Reboot your phone to android, and then install MagsikManager.apk
I am editing my post to give you a 100% working TWRP 3.2.1 for our beloved Maze Alpha 4G :victory:
thank you
After I installed this rom, and freezed the hot knot, baidu_location FM Radio, etc, the BT connection did not break.

Hi dreambo,
do You know if there's a stock rom for download from maze alpha x? I think it's important for normal users and developers to get one. For normal users it's important to have an option to reinstall stock version and for developers I think it's the source for custom roms (e.g. Lineage Os).
If You know a source, can You please give us a link?

No I not have any source, I am just a simple user like any other.
If I have any source or if I can make a ROM for MAZE Alpha X, I will do it and I will share it with every body, as I do until now for the MAZE Alpha 4/64
Hi
Sorry for stupid question, but is flashing with SP Flashtool an option to get root without wiping all data (unlike all other methods involving bootloader unlocking)?

Unfortunatly no. As you will see repeated times in the forum, people have issue with phone not booting after changing from stock recovery to twrp. This is do (most likely from) to verified boot setting. And by unlocking bootloader we can bypass verified boot. So without unlock you might get a successfull load into twrp, but android will not boot.
Hello to all and please help if you can.
After unlocking the bootloader and flash the rom I'v got orange state with bootloop. Then after trying to fix it (wrong way) and relock bootloader and got red state with bootloop. I read that flahing back to stock fix the problem but I have no success with the rom provided in this post, the v5 from maze, the latest flash tool and the maze alpha flash tool... in all cases I get DA error(maze flash tool) or DA MISHMATCH (sp flash tool). I also tried different pc and cable with no result and finaly can't get fastboot. If that helps I've got the same flash tool error before the procedure. Every help will be appreciated.

First unlock again your bootloader and use fastboot to flash boot, recovery and system partitions:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img.
Those partition images can be found in the ROM for SPFlashTool I have provide.
After that you can boot android normally.
If you any TWRP backup, you can restore it after flashing the TWRP.
Thanks a lot for your reply....
the problem is that i cant boot into fastboot to unlock bootloader....
the phone bootloops all the time, shows the red state alert and even with vol+ pressed the menu to choose recovery or fastboot doesn't apear... thanks again.
