| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | “Certificate invalid” on flash | Use JAF in dead USB mode – it ignores cert errors | | Phone won’t boot after flash | Reflash original RPKG. You modified a critical system file – revert changes | | NFE crashes on Build | Run as Admin + Windows 7 compatibility | | Repacked RPKG size mismatch | Don’t add extra large files – ROFS partitions have size limits (check original size) |
