trouble at WETA kernel install
hi and thanks mentalmuso for your work. I'm not new to root access or samsung devices, but i am a bit confused at present. i have read instructions in post #2 and this whole thread more than once. unfortunately, i still need some help.
with Odin 3.13.3 i successfully installed XAR (Cellular South) T830XXS3BSF4 pda from sammobile.com. went into Pie, set it up, opened devel options, ticked bootloader unlocked, activated, everything looks good, working stock Pie. installed TWRP, working, and wiped /data. reboot to TWRP, attempted to flash the WETA kernel, got this output:
Checking for Digest file...
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/WETA_Kernel_encryptionoff_SD1+SF4.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
output is the same when flashing the file from internal storage.
could be i didn't make sure /data was mounted and go test my sdcards and all and thats my problem... im gonna reinstall SF4 and have another go at it... any thoughts are appreciated
edit: i was able to see and register /data in the OS with the help of magisk which disables dm-verity, but not in TWRP recovery. Internal storage reads as 0gb. But when I boot into Pie, i have my /data and my root.
i wasn't even able to NAND back cause TWRP wouldn't mount /data. But i got around this by wiping /data, rebooting to recovery to make sure /data mounted, rebooting to download mode, install SF4 with Odin, now on stock Pie til i get sorted.
