“Error installing zip file”
I am using twrp and the aicp nougat 7.1 file on my Samsung S4 mini I9195.
Can anybody help please.
Hi John,
Re-Download the zip file again.
and let me know if you still get this error.
Acnologica, thanks for that. I downloaded from a different source and it loaded just fine. Am now downloading the correct version of Gapps and then I will be good to go. Thanks for your help……John
Seems I cannot make any calls from the phone now that I have installed the SIM. SIM is valid and working. When I try it states “calling via Emergency Calls”. Any suggestions?
Sorry my bad, I had the sim card in the wrong way.
Hi there,
got the same error “255”. I tried bullhead and griffin bot both endet in the same error 255. I also re-downloaded both, but still the same error.
Hi Mat,
Answer a few things.
What’s the version of your TWRP ?
and your device model?
Samsung Galaxy S4 mini – GT-i9195 with Clockwork root software
I have downloaded and installed Nougat on my I9195 and am completely happy with it. Just waiting for an update to install now. One thing I notice is that the notifications for facebook, email etc, don’t appear on the main screen icons, ie, how many I have. Is there a remedy for this?
Hi @disqus_mbNzTVnDz5:disqus
Are you using the battery saver mode? It restricts most of the notifications to save battery life.
That is possible but now I cannot seem to find where to turn battery Saver on or off.
Just found it and it says I am “balanced”. Any other ideas?
That is pretty strange and it happens only with the notifications of facebook and emails?
Yes, and messages, in fact I would say it is all notifications where you get a number notification.
Another question this time on a Samsung S7 cellphone. I notice the firmware on my S7 is for the UAE market. I have downloaded the Firmware from Sammobile for my market ie Australia. Can I just simply follow the instructions and install via Odin over the top of the UAE firmware?
Hi @disqus_mbNzTVnDz5:disqus
Sorry for a late reply. The team was busy in celebrating new year. 🙂
Regarding the query, Yes you can install it via Odin. It will work perfectly. 🙂
Hard to get a reply on here.
Replied 🙂
