TWRP is unable to install any ROM on my G6 due to the "Digest verification failed" error.
I've updated TWRP to the latest version, which at the moment is 3.3.0.0.
I've try the [ROM][Stock] LG-H870 OPEN EU 20I ROM, Lineage and a few others, the situation is always the same.
I have placed the MD5 file next to the custom ROM file (the stock one above), I have searched for the solution for over 4 hours in youtube, (hindu-english sounds terrible and is really hard to understand...), xda, github and other sites, but haven't came up with the solution... TWRP is also showing that it is unable to read internal memory of the phone - I have to format DATA to exFat, and then back to ext4, than it can see internal storage, but the error still occurs.
I have downloaded the ROM files in SD card, and placed it into the phone, I have downloaded the ROM files directly through the phone via browser... nothing helps.
Any idea?

Use this TWRP version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254
I did eventually, but before posting the thread it didn't helped.
I had to turn the phone to stock 100%, also recovery partition, and started from scratch. This helped.
I didn't catch up on time, to edit my topic, before you answered. But thanks!

But remember never use official TWRP versions.

Why is that?
I've been using official versions as long as I use Android phones... this is the only time, I needed to use unofficial one.

Hello, my JIayu F2 phone got a problem, I don't know if it's a virus/malware/spyware exactly, Malwarebytes found pup.riskware.smsreg but after factory reset it doesn't find anything and the problem is still here.
There's a hand cursor that appears on the top screen and it seems like the phone is taken over, it's extremely hard to navigate and ads pop up left and right even if I disable unknown sources. Parasite apps also spontaneously install themselves.
I have changed my google password, reset the phone to factory settings, the problem is still there even before I connect the phone to the internet.
I can't flash a ROM because the phone is hard to navigate and the USB port broken. Can't install apps from the playstore, the malware blocks the download, but I can install Apks.
Is there any app I could install to check what is going on? Malwarebytes doesn't find anything anymore, should I use something else?
If there's a way I could flash a rom without the USB I'd be glad to do it but the apps I tried (flashify, rom manager) don't see the zip file image to reboot in recovery
Thanks in advance
Please can someone help?
The phone still switches itself on I can do a few stuff before the "malware" takes over, mostly in airplane or safe mode.
Do you have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) installed already? If so just find a stock rom for your device, boot into recovery and then wipe everything before installing the rom.
Thanks for your answer, I have ROM manager installed but CWR does not seem to work, is there a way to install it through an APK? I think the issue was it was not seeing the zip file of the stock ROM I have on the SD card. Would it work with an IMG file? I also don't know if my phone is supported by CWM or the other, on the jiayu website they only offer the SP flashtools option which requires USB connection. The file they provide for the ROM is a zip.
I can do stuff on my PC and install apks on the phone but as soon as I connect it to the internet it becomes impossible to navigate.
Thanks
The issue is it is built into the OS. Nothing short if a custom rom will fix that.
If you think a recovery can be done by an apk then you have to do more research as it doesn't seem like you are aware if your bootloader in unlocked or not
Hello so I switched the phone back on again and I do have CWM installed through ROM Manager, with superuser permission. The issue is that I can't seem to find the .zip file on my SD card whenever I browse with ROM manager/flashify/rashr, they don't see it, is it because I need to use a .img?
I have managed to reboot in recovery ( does that mean my "bootloader is unlocked"?).
If I need to get another ROM to make this work let me know which one and if I should go for a .img file or .zip
Thanks a lot!! And sorry I'm a total noob I tried to make this work on my own but have been unsuccessful
You will need to find a custom rom for it. It will not flash a stock rom. Also a stock rom will not fix it. It is built into it.

Thanks so is the only problem the fact that my ROM is a zip file and not an IMG? Flashify has an option to install .zip files but its file explorer does not see my ROM , I don't get it.
I have looked up online and the only custom roms for JIayu F2 available seem to be the original ones. from the vendor /"stock". WHere can I find compatible alternatives? WHen I got my phone 10 months ago it had no infection, I guess it's a "backdoor" issue that enables a malware to survive factory reset?
Sorry this is my first time trying to do this, it's pretty tough for a noob.
That is part of the issue with many of those devices. Developers don't get them so there normally is not any roms for it.
Not a backdoor persay. But built into the OS from the oem.
I can't say anything about CWM recovery as I have not used it in years since it was discontinued by the developer. It most likely will not flash any newer roms.
Also if it is a stock oem rom then no recovery will flash it except the stock one.
But when I got my phone it worked fine, it's only after 10 months I started having problems, probably after installing an infected app. Wouldn't downloading the original stock ROM enable me to go back to the true factory settings, unaffected by this malware?
JIayu offers flashing with SP flashtools but it requires USB connection, I need to find a way around that :/

You can give it a shot. Make sure to completely wipe the device when you do. Otherwise what ever it is could survive the flash. I have not used their software but look for an option to format all partitions before flashing. Mainly System and data

Thanks so how do I find the ROM through the file explorer? Because like I said it does not show so I can't flash it It's a zip file on my SD card, the file explorers of flashify/rashR/Rom manager only show me file directories but not the zip file.

Honestly I am not sure. If It was me I would find the official way to flash the device from bootloader and not rely on recovery.
Hi,
I have a samsung S3 and I want to update it to lollipop or above as my nexus 5 has started randomly rebooting and I need a phone to use whilst I sort a replacement.
I have been following this guide: wccftech.com/install-aosp-android-5-1-1-lollipop-on-galaxy-s3/ as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this custom rom business.
I have rooted the device and installed clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.2. and copied over the rom and the gapps file to my phone.
I then booted into recovery mode and made a backup of the current setup.
I then did the factory reset and the cache wipe(s) and installed the new zip for lollipop and then the gapps.
This is where I received an error "E: Error in /sdcard/0/0/0/Download/gapps-lp-20150314.zip (status 7) installation aborted".
I figured that I should restore to my backup now but when I press it, the app says that files can't be found.
I can see that the files that I backed up do exist but they appear to have been dumped inside a new directory called /0/0/0 (I think this has got three levels because I've tried this a few times).
Now I can't boot into an OS to get any other roms on the phone and I can't edit the files on there (I googled and saw a possible fix for the gapp status 7) and I can't get clockworkmod to recognise an external SD card so I can copy over a new rom or file to try (I have googled and it's suggested the FAT32 is the format for this phone and my size of SD card (16GB)).
Can anyone offer me some advice on how to get out of this situation?
Thanks
Sounds like you're at a place where you should start exploring using your computer instead of a recovery in order to fix your system.
I recommend using the PC software Odin and installing a stock ROM of your device. (Or perhaps using fastboot)
There's plenty of guides on how to use Odin both here on XDA and on the rest of the internet if you just look around a bit
EDIT: This link contains a (possible) fix for your problem.

Don't use cwm as it is an outdated recovery. Use twrp instead.

I had a look at the link you suggested and it's one of the suggestions that had come up whilst I was googling for a fix. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to get the updated script onto the phone as the phone isn't picked up by my pc whilst it's in this state, and I can't get the recovery tool to recognise the sd card so I can't put it on there either.
I'll take a look at the stock rom or fastboot option and see if I can get back into the phone. Maybe then I can apply the fix in the suggested post.
Thanks

If the phone works in download mode, try to flash a stock rom too.
Update - fixed
Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I fixed the device with the combined advice from here:
I installed TWRP after holding the volume down + power + home buttons and then pressing volume up when the message appears (I can't remember what this mode is called). I then flashed the device with the TWRP image.
After this I rebooted into the TWRP recovery mode (Volume up + home + power and then release power button when the samsung logo appears).
At this point, the device appeared on my windows machine so I could upload a new image to the internal memory.
I decided to copy on CM13 and GApps.
I then wiped the cache, system, data, and davik cache using TWRP, then I installed CM13 and GApps.
After a reboot the device came back up as a new install.
Hopefully that information may be useful to somebody.
Thanks for all your help
Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.
No one to help?
How can TWRP not work on your device? Install again TWRP via adb.

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
Somehow I feel like a noob. I wanted to see what the new stock Android 10 was like, so I installed it via Odin. But now I can't get back to a custom ROM because TWRP fails to flash. The tablet's bootloader is still unlocked and I've enabled Dev mode. Download the latest twrp-3.4.0-3-gts4lvwifi.img.tar and put it in AP. When I click start, I get this error "Can't open the specified file (Line 1892)"
edit: Still don't know what I did wrong the first time, but I started over from scratch, flashed stock 10 again, vbmeta, twrp and it worked. Of course I let it boot and set Dev mode between each flash. Once into TWRP, formated data, wiped and install cDroid and gapps and it is now working.

Glad you got it working. Figured I'd mention though there is a newer TWRP. 3.4.0-4 didn't give me any issues.

Stock a10 sucked?
I really screwed up and need help now...
I bought a cheap Xiaomi Mi A3 a few days ago for a little project, where I needed a rooted phone (I didn't want to use my main phone for this).
So I tried root the phone with magisk and this tutorial.
Mod edit: Unofficial magisk link removed. Please only post official links.
Unlocking bootloader worked perfectely fine, so I proceeded with method 1 (using TWRP). I then got a fastboot error which I think has something to do with me using usb3 and not usb2. Since I dont have any Usb2 connectors, I tried to do it with method 2. Somewhere along the way I did a factory reset. Well I did eventually load into TWRP and was able to load the Zip files into TWRP through a MicroSD card, since MTP and "adb push" didn't worked (I didn't got a error message, the files just wouldn't show up on the phone). I then flashed Magisk v22.0 since the others were all "wrong Zip file format". If I try to boot into system now, I always get the "Encryption unsuccessful" error message. I tried to facotry reset, didn't work.
Edit: I can get into TWRP, but reboot to system will always result in "Encryption unsuccessful"
Do you have any ideas on how to fix this. Since there are no data on this phone I can also just delete everything and reinstall a completely fresh android and start again from the beginning (but since Factory Reset isn't helping I don't know how to do this).
Thanks in Advance!
