I have the SM-A300FU, 4.4.4, BB: A300FUXXU1ANL8 (locked on 3 Ireland) but a new 5.0.2 came out for (Ireland vodafone)

Would this be any different/safer to the french ROM as I don't wont to brick up my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] faust93:
Hi all!

Have build TWRP for our device (A5, idk if it'll work for A3)

Lollipop:

Odin flashable

Plain image

KitKat:

Odin flashable
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
Good news man, compatible with A5 A500FU ? Can I install it via Flashify? Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mannulko:
Pls share screen on time screen shot of a5
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] droidqwerty:
Questions regarding galaxy a3:

Is it possible to get xposed working on Lollipop?

Also, it is possible to get AOSP browser working on Lollipop?

Also, Viper4android doesnt work on lollipop either, any way to get it working?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bilgets:
i believe you should ask it on the respective threads because its app specific [emoji1]
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bernardwu:
Someone with A5 please test this (take PIC with other camera as proof)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] faust93:
I think it should but not sure. Have build and tested with SM-A500F. Flash plain image using Heimdall (or Odin ..md5.gz).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
No risk of brick if it is not compatible?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] CTXz:
Make a backup of your recovery.img before flashing if the a5 comes with a stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
If it bootloop how I make to return to stock he bootup also when the recovery is bricked? Thanks man ;)

Also I do not have a computer at hand so I can't use Heimdall or Odin...

Can I flash it with Rashr or Flashify?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] CTXz:
If you get into bootloop you unfortunately need a PC for Odin/heimdall.

Good news is that you will very likely just boot into OS when the recovery isn't working. From there you can flash via rashr/flashify or via android terminal emulator.

Also to flash the PLAIN image without Odin you can use rashr/flashify/terminal emulator
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
Awesome man, it's works on A500FU !

I just flashed the PLAIN img with Flashify and reboot and I have TWRP! Thanks man ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Thepompa:
This is brilliant work thanks for the work! Also have a500fu and works a treat
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] astrit1:
are you thinking of sharing the source code ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bilgets:
hi, do knox tripped after flashing this with flashify? also i want to try this on A3 but not quite sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
Yes, after Flashify your Knox are tripped (0x1) but you need root for use Flashify ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bilgets:
im rooted with kingroot wich didnt knock the knox.

nvm i thought i can flash using rasher/flashify without first having a recovery.. guess i was wrong xD

i'll wait for A3 version then xD
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] burt_ie:
Hey guys, I have a Galaxy A5 SM-A500FU, I just updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 but obviously I lost root.

I tried the usual root method from 4.4.4 and it works however I get a weird faded green screen with lots of lines when I try to reboot the phone.

I downloaded the lollipop odin file below and it worked,I now have root and can reboot normally.

I'll get from Sam mobile (or you mobile something like that). It should work hopefully. Though the kernel might not work for this version.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
It's probably an user of Sammobile... He don't know it's a scam survey... You can try the link and you see the survey...

See this link: http://cwm-twrp-android.org/download/samsung-a500.html > same text, same theme of website, same links, same survey. Don't download man, it's an advice ;)

Samsung Galaxy A3 APT-X Bluetooth Codec

Does anybody know if the A3 has the APT-X (APTX) Bluetooth codec?

I can't see the device listed in the APTX.com website

I want to buy a bluetooth headset (Philips Fidelio) which has the high quality Codec and it would be sad not to be able to use the high quality streaming codec if the A3 don't have it:confused:

P.S. I have the original ROM 5.0.2 french lollipop

[MENTION=4864296]darkspr1te[/MENTION] Hey buddy, any news on that CM11 you were trying to build for A5?

I got an SM-A500M from Brazil and if I can be of any help, be sure to msg me!

Best regards,

Dijinn
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
Nobody tried obviously, if you know well we can find other people who can help you create a CM11/CM12 :rolleyes:

I think you should create a thread for the development of A5 that can also help for finding people.

And for the community to be informed that a development is on hold and that we look for people who can create a CM11 / CM12 ;)

If you want to create a CM11 or CM12 ROM for A500FU or other, I can help you a little if you want ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Dijinn:
I'd love to do that but my programming skills on porting has failed me once already xD
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
you do not know someone who can help developing? : D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Dijinn:
I've met a few devs in xda, but as most of them don't have the phones for testing purpose, it's quite hard to build something up... First things first, we need a custom recovery working, sounds right to you?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
Yes, on my A5 I have TWRP working ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Dijinn:
Which version is your A5?

Is your TWRP in chinese or in english?

Can you share it?

Hahaha

Also, what about rooting and Knox counter? Did you get the TWRP with the CF-Root and screw the Knox counter? xD
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
My TWRP is in English, i've flashed the recovery via Flashify. I've root my phone with CF-Root and my Knox counter are 0x1. If you want to flash it download this file: > http://click.xda-developers.com/api...ung Galaxy Alpha | XDA Forums&txt=Plain image and flash it via Flashify. Only if you are on Lollipop 5.0.2

Try it and tell me if it's works ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Dijinn:
Ow, brazilian A5 is still on 4.4.4 sadly... I'm willing to create a Cyanogen or a AOKP exactly for that reason... Samsung is so damn slow on releasing their updates... I wanted to grab the 5.1.2 or the 5.0.2 android running in this babe... Plus the old SD Card problem of KitKat that without root is never fixed for real... I have a lot of stuff that I want to get rid of and can't because of that...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
I think i'm going to create a thread for developement of this device... Don't worry man, Lollipop for your A500M it's about time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Dijinn:
Don't forget to ping me it! I'm on for the ride and to help on whatever I can...

[MENTION=2533313]faust93[/MENTION] [MENTION=6446790]mygalaxya[/MENTION] I tried to build cwm recovery once for my A300F but I failed. Now that you guys finally came and did A5 I'm wondering if you guys could teach me how to compile/port the twrp to A300F(which I own) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
To port this for A3, we need to modify some files, like screen size etc... It's not really complicated. Once I have finished my CM12 Build for A500FU, I will try to make a TWRP build for A3 series.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
For flashing via Odin, you have to disable the Remote lock and other before flashing.

21.5 is a build for Poland (XEO) other builds like 01.07 are for other countries but the same version. Just the build date are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] edweder:
but why a cant flash other builds,just 21.5?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mygalaxya:
21.5 is very good.

and why dont you force reboot your phone because it should boot since the system.img.ex4 is flashed

give it another try and let me know

boot to odin-flash the rom again when it says failed unplug your device hold down the powerkey untill your phone vibrates
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sheenswizner:
Highest selling device

Samsung Galaxy A series one of the highest selling device in Indian and other countries also.

I think XDA team should light up on these devices and open up new forums for these smartphones.

If you have root it please let us know the procedure. I have root it using kitkat cf autoroot by chainfire. Everything is okay until i reboot. On reboot it went to power off. Only can goto download mode and flash cfroot again. Got to rid off this.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bilgets:
how do you wipe dalvik? via samsung normal recovery or?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] killar_aka_arabu:
not. via twrp.

or you can manually go to /data/dalvic-cache and delete all content, reboot. need root for that
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sam_777:
It seems your root was preserved after flashing lollipop. If not please provide info about rooting lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] killar_aka_arabu:
flashed LP via odin, after phone boot, reboot it in download mode and rooted with CF-Auto Root. after phone booted flashed recovery img from stock rom with flashify.

Thanks a lot. Thats it. But now its going to recovery evertime i reboot it. Better than before. Do you have a possible solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] killar_aka_arabu:
yes, its going to recovery when press reboot, for me its not a big problem, just press one more time power key to boot phone normally
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sam_777:
So i use reboot app to boot into recovery and boot os from there. Now the device booting is behaving as expected. Probably we need to go to recovery manually once to solve the puzzle.

Probably it is corrupted. Unzip the zip again and test the file with 7zip or winrar before you flash it.

Yes, after flashing TWRP via Flashify, reboot your phone, when the phone reboot return on Flashify. Then Flash the Stock Recovery then reboot again. When the phone restarting, flash TWRP. Normally you can have TWRP without any problem.

maybe try kingroot for pc first? i believe they said that its more powerful
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bernardwu:
1. Extract stock recovery.IMG from your 5.0.2 firmware.

2. Put it in your phone.

3. Flash cfautoroot file for 4.4.4 even thought you're running 5.0.2

4. Install flashify on your phone.

5. Flash the stock recovery from 5.0.2 via flashify

6. Reboot.

7. Profit. Voilà u have a rooted 5.0.2 A7
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Fawzy.i:
Thank you very much i'll try it now????

dou you know if it gonna void my warranty because of the knox ??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bernardwu:
Yes its gonna void your warranty. I void mine too for the sake of root privilege.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Fawzy.i:
Ahhh okay last question iam sorry ?

Why iam gonna flash the stock recovery again ?

because cf auto root include 444 recovery img, and if you didnt do so i believe recovery will be broken
