I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.
I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance

Do you have tried KIES?
(check your CSC *#1234* also)
Download and install with Odin a Stock room, then try to update/upgrade and reinstall it with Kies (will install the same rom... again and will not clear the rom counter, but it will say "oficial")
Also make sure to check that your baseband matches the build number ( last few digits )
I had that problem too when I put farias 4.1.2 V2 ROM on my phone
Had to go back to UK ROM 4.1.1 , and now I can receive updates

Hi..if you just want to get back official updates try flashing this rom http...://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Before that flash 2 files attached by him (Wipe & Param). I too get them back but I think while trying too hard to get swap working I might have messed up something thats why my firmware status again changed to Custom.
PS: Avoid busybox (personal opinion) 'cos that the only root app that I again installed and perhaps before that everything was fine.
I know this is probably the stupidest thing one can do and since I mediocre knowledge about Android stuff I just did that. While I was on CWM recovery mode I was tinkering around the settings and I accidentally deleted the OS, this leaves me soft-bricked (is that the term)? When I boot up on recovery mode again it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But when I connect it to Kies it doesn't detect the phone! And when I boot up download mode it says I have Custom binaries (it says 3) which I suppose is because I had CWM? I have no idea how I could re-install my OS back to my phone and am panicking since this was my first phone. Is flashing back to stock firmware a viable option if I accidentally deleted my OS? Or so I have to do some other process? Please I am in dire need of assistance here!

Yes just flash back stock firmware with Odin.
That custom binary is probably from the time of GB because root method was increasing it. You can use Triangle away to reset it, it is free on xda.

Odin does not have anything to do with system partition, I mean it will work anyway. Do not just close Kies, go to task manager and kill it (in Windows).
P.S. If you have any ROM in your sd card, you can go to CWM and install it. Or if you have some other phone, put SD card in it, copy ROM and install it in CWM.

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?

Wayne

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.
Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/
HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.

Need to install a ROM without a PC
Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne
hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.
I was trying to install TWRP on my Note 5 using odin and everything worked perfectly. I even got the green "PASS" icon. But when it rebooted, I turned off the phone to boot into TWRP using Home+Power+Vol Up, and I got a installing system updates icon, then a fallen android bot with a yellow cross sign on top, and then it loaded into default android recovery, not TWRP. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!
This happend to me too. What you need to do is to flash a custom kernel for your device because you installed a custom recovery and what happens is that that the stock kernel stops working or it gets erased, but the fix for the problem is flashing a custom kernel.

I can't flash it through custom recovery because I can't get to it
But before you flash the TWRP again to your device and the kernel you need to download the official firmware for your Note 5 because it seems that you messed up real bad with you phone.
Just google official firmware N9208 and download it to then flash it through ODIN in download mode, then after installing the Firmware boot up the phone and set it up, after that you go to Developers Mode and enable OEM and USB Debugging, after that you download the kernel i provided above for your N9208 IN YOUR PHONE. Afterwards, go to Download Mode and flash TWRP through ODIN in your phone and then boot up the recovery and flash the kernel that is in thr internal storage of your phone in the Download folder. Now the phone should br rooted. If you still didn't understand the instructions then look up this video https://youtu.be/We6OUJvzve0
hope it works for you ?

Thank you SO much for that detailed reply. I understand the instructions but is it alright if instead of flashing a stock firmware I just factory reset my phone?

Why is there no chatter about the EPF1 update?
I've been scanning the boards and not much about it... It appears to just to be simple Android Security Update, yet no one has really said anything about it..

I updated, but haven't noticed much of a difference. Apparently it adds an anti-theft feature that requires you to enter your google login information before it will let you reset the phone.
I can't wait for someone to root it.

Anyone having an issue with this update? I went back to stock for this update, then tried to apply TWRP, and the recovery doesnt stick, stays with the android default.
Edit: nvm...
I was afraid of this.. It may because of the new Secure Bootloader that if something isn't signed by Samsung or T mobile.. It may flash, but then buffer out and not install..

Nvm? I'm guessing you wrote something different? Or Nvm to the above sentence?

What are you guys talking about?
This update shouldn't prevent flashing a recovery, nonetheless be able to boot into download mode/odin mode and flash an older firmware.
I am downloading this atm, let me know if I am wrong.
Update: Flashed the update, flashing TWRP is fine.

The final question is, did it stick? Boot to Recovery and let us know.
Also, is root and custom kernel working fine?

Yes TWRP sticks.
Root works fine.
I am guessing a custom kernel would work fine, provided it is based on this firmware.
I am not going to test any as I have no need for a custom kernel.

When installing TWRP, while installing it through ODIN, uncheck the reboot..
It should stick...

Forgot to update earlier.
But yes, Root + TWRP + Custom Kernel + Xposed (v85+) works with this update.
Just to clarify, rooting and flashing twrp and supersu with this update on the tmobile galaxy s6 wont brick? I keep hearing that my bootloader is locked and i cant root with this build on my phone.
Edit: what is the best way to root? i keep hearing that i should flash a cf auto root file instead of twrp.

Hey, sr. For some reason it will not let me reboot to bootloader, can you help, or anyone?
Press the Power Key, Volume Down, and the Home Key at the same time while the device is powered off, that should put you into download mode..
Mind you that there is no official root method for EPF1, you can flash TWRP and then SuperSu to establish root
