Unauthorized Software error. Please help... - Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,

I have the note7 and install magisk. The phone rebooted amd then got the message that
Security error this phone jas been flashed with unauthorized software......
Is there anyway to get past this and undo this. I really dont want to restore the phone. And need to back a few items back. Please help me....

my experience
Hello.
I had a similar problem, when I had installed viper4android, without the debbuging mode on.
Couldn't acess to twrp, only download mode, so I needed to install the firmware with odin, get root acess, reinstall the twrp, and after reinstall my favorite rom. Of corse, all my data was lost in the process, but I can't see other way. Without twrp, how can one flash anything?
Maybe you can try to flash with odin just the bootloader and the modem, to see if it works. If not, just the firmware will solve the problem, I think.

Do what I m saying

What is the exact "Status 7 error" output?
Status 7 error can be caused by trying to install a ROM that is not specifically designed for your phone model a P768, and you try to flash a P760 CM11 ROM. When flashing that ROM the updater script checks the device model/ID and if it doesn't match that of the ROM being flashed, it will abort the installation.
Make sure that your flashing the proper CM11 ROM for your specific device.
Status 7 error can also be caused by, installing the wrong or improper CWM recovery version for your device and or ROM being flashed.
Double check that the recovery version you installed is the correct CWM recovery for your device and/or the CM11 ROM that your trying to flash. CM11 also requires a specific CWM recovery version to be flashed.
Thanks for your answer, I solved this way, I get back to the especific rom for my device, I can only do that trough the automatic lg support tool, cause when I tryed to flash get error of disconnected phone at 15%, later I saw that I need a specific recovery to flash the rom, so I downloaded and send it to the phone, after that I could flash the rom without problems and I'm now rocking my phone with KitKat :laugh:
Thank you. I was really scary but now I know that can get restored thru the lg utility.

S6-Edge stuck in TWRP recovery mode

Hello all,
Recently I bought the S8 Plus and I want to sell my S6 Edge, so I wanted to clean it first before actually selling it.
I rooted my phone before, I can't remember how or what software I used, I have a feeling it was Odin,
anyway, I cleaned up my phone by doing a factory reset from within Android's settings.
Since that moment, my phone is stuck in TWRP's Recovery mode.
I have multiple stock roms, but Odin is not able to make a connection with the phone, because I can't get into boot mode.
I've also read things about ADB Sideload, but that freezes up my phone.
Then I read about some command line to type in via the terminal, but that didn't work either.
Also trying to install stuck roms didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my phone back into bootmode so I can load up Odin and put a stock rom on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated

That doesn't work either.
If I select Download, my phones freezes up.
Update:
I managed to update TWRP, making me able to go back to Download mode!
But, once I tried Odin to flash a stock rom, it failed.
Also, my KNOX Warrenty Void is set '1'.
Am I still able to install any roms or get this KNOX fixed?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (with samsung ecryption) stuck in TWRP please help

Please can someone help me sort out my S6 edge. I was trying to root my phone to change my encryption pin to a 20 digit passcode. I used odin to put twrp-3.1.1-0-zerolte.img onto my phone and now it is stuck on TWRP and won't boot normally. Could someone please tell me how I can remove TWRP or even just make my phone boot as usual. I never made a backup or copies of my photos and I really don't want to lose my data. THANKYOU! for anyone who can help me out I really appreciate it.
####WILL PAY ANYONE WHO CAN GUIDE ME THROUGH FIXING####
additional info:
UK(europe) Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
SM-G925F
zerolte
Android 7.0
Kernel version 3.10.61-10531122
The way I was trying to root the phone was for (I believe) unencrypted devices, therefore I never actually rooted the phone just put TWRP onto it and it didn't work the way it was supposed to so I stopped.
I've never rooted a phone before and therefore don't want to rush into fixing it incase I cause irreparable damage.
I read on these forums that to do what I was doing I would need to use adb sideload because it's encrypted. I have got android sdk, adb but haven't done anything yet. I'm hoping for someone who definitely knows how to fix it before I go ahead and make a mess of it :\
I had Samsung Knox installed on my phone, I've just found out that that has probably caused the problem? Is it at all possible I can fix this and not lose my data?
TWRP says: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
I have tried wiping the cache and nothing changes.
Just flash original firmware

OK, calm down. You haven't lost anything or likely to if you just slow down a bit.
OK first things first, what caused the actual boot loop?
Describe the exact steps. It wouldn't have been TWRP itself. Ignore any errors you are seeing regarding /data they are irrelevant at the moment.
Did you install SuperSU and which version? Did TWRP ask to install its own SuperSU version?

I did everything in this video up until 2:55.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8ji0yjf7IY
where his phone rebooted into the system mine just stayed on TWRP. I tried rebooting into system and I just get the samsung logo over and over. all I have done from that point is try wiping the cache.
I just used odin to put TWRP onto it and then stopped when it didn't do what it was supposed to.
And no TWRP didn't install SuperSU as I was planning to install Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included myself.

Then your issue is you haven't installed Supersu. Once you've installed SuperSu V2.79 SR3 then your device should boot.
Your issue is likely dmverity. SuperSU will fix that by patching the boot.img.

I have sideloaded Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included.zip and it booted up asked me for my encryption key and when I entered it I get a message saying:
Verification failed
Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
I am currently trying to sideload SuperSu V2.79 SR3 but it gets stuck on "- Creating image"
I guess I'm screwed at this point?
I also saw somewhere that it says Knox has been tripped, dno if that matters....
Thanks
my mistake.

All you really need to do is flash the stock recovery and boot image as your system partition should be unmodified.
You can flash the whole firmware and it won't affect your data.
If it's a 4 file firmware you should only need to flash the BL and AP parts with ODIN.

One good reason to never run encryption on the device.
If you want to attempt data recovery, download the app disk digger pro. It has a high success rate of recovery. Just ensure you save the recovered files to SD card.
Just to note though this app needs root to work properly. You can use magisk to gain root rather than supersu.

I believe it was the google photo gallery but it hasn't synced anything
wouldn't have been so bad if I could have at least saved the photo's. and I doubt any recovery program will get anything because of it been encrypted but I can give it a go for nothing

Factory Reset + Wipe System = Am I screwed?

Phone: LG Aristo MS210 (Metro PCS)
Bootloader: TWRP 3.0.3.0
So let me explain. I was just figuring out how to root the LG Aristo since I had never done it with a custom ROM. Yes, true story. Anyway, I was happy I got it working perfectly until I rebooted my phone. When I rebooted it, SuperSU was gone. I tried going to the play store and redownloading it, but I got an error code -504, and the thing is, I couldn't download any apps. ANY. I decided to look the error code up and I can't find anything on it. I tried multiple times doing multiple different things. From factory resetting, reflashing SuperSU, to factory resetting and then flashing SuperSU, wiping dalvik-cache along with everything except for system. It didn't work and I thought I could get it working.. Well... this next part I really messed up on. I decided to wipe everything. I selected all options and slid the cursor and it failed. The wipe failed. It said "E: /sdcard1 unable to partition" or something like that. I noticed that when I was wiping earlier the internal storage was also called that, and the funny thing is I have no microSD card in my phone. So. :/
Now when I boot I'm stuck on the LG splash screen and nothing else happens. I tried recovery mode (without ADB) with the power button + vol down key as I read here: (I'd post link but I'm a new member) that's how you get into recovery/factory reset. I'd use ADB to get into recovery, but since I just wiped the system, I don't have USB debugging enabled. I tried anyway and I gotta say this is my worst nightmare as I'm too young to get a job, (15 yrs. old) so I can't get a phone. :/ Oh, and if this can be useful: I know it connects to my PC over USB because I hear the sound it makes when a new device is connected. Is there any way I can use that to unbrick it?
EDIT 9/10/2017 9:31 PM (Eastern Time): I managed to get into twrp. I'm currently looking online for how to flash android 7.0 nougat (OS it originally had)

Hi,
Well the only way to fix this is that u need to be able to boot into recovery.
If u tried booting into recovery by holding the power and vol+/- and u end up booting to the boot logo, then recovery is also wiped.
In this case, u will need to check if u have access to fastboot. If so then obtain the twrp recovery for ur device and flash it then tried booting into recovery using the appropriate keys.
When I get time, I will research ur device for any recovery tool and stuff.

Help with soft bricked xperia XZs

Hi all,
I tried to root my ohone using this walkthrough:
https://romprovider.com/sony-xperia-xzs-root-twrp/#Download
I managed to unlock bootloader and then flash everything it said without any errors but then the phone wont boot past the sony start screen. Ive been trying to flash back a stock ROM. Used "emma" and flashed firmware it offered in program. It said successful but still wont boot.
Can anyone please spell out how I resolve this in layman terms? Im pretty good with PCs but the language around rooting and these instructions are always a bit unclear to me being a noob to this.
I cant boot to TWRP on the phone just not the OS. Have tried clearing cache and resetting through twrp..
Thanks for any help!

Thank you. Wiping the data partition didnt work. I haven't had luck with the flash tool in that walk through either. When I download latest version from link it is a version that doesn't have Xperifirm built in. I downloaded xperifirm seperately but when I try any of the roms it downloads it fails with an error about missing sin or something like that. I will check the error again. Thanks
OK seems I have a stable phone again after using emma again and managing to load properly. Will do the twrp and root parts again. Also I think I botched the back up step in that link. Im going to follow it again.
https://romprovider.com/sony-xperia-xzs-root-twrp/#Download
Thanks
Now the phone boots after loading magisc and drm but the wifi wont work. It wont allow me to toggle it on.
Any suggestion on where I went wrong or how to restore wifi?
Success!!!
