You need to extract the tar file from the fw that you'd download for your device from sammobile. Inside the tar file you will find a recovery.img file that you flash using flashify on your device.

This is the one I found for my G920I:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30412392/recovery.img.zip

Flash the image inside the zip with flashify, then Vol Up/Home/Power to recovery and wipe the cache twice. Backup the Stock Recovery with Flashify, then reflash TWRP. I have not had any issue with losing Deep Sleep again. Others say they have...

Let me know if you can't access that file, I don't share files from DropBox often, so I may have done that wrong.

Hi there everyone, I picked up a S6 in China which lacks the Play Store.

In order to install it, I figured rooting it would be best. A regular apk install won't do (even with a VPN on).

I've got an SM-G9208 model, anyone tried using another model number since this particular version isn't done by chainfire (yet I hope). Mind you I'm new to this, would it be otherwise possible to simply flash another firmware from let's say the US over my current firmware from sammobile.com? I mainly want to get the Playstore to work ...

Idon 3.10.6 won't recognise my S6

Hi all,

I've followed all the necessary steps RE developer mode, enable USB debugging and also loaded up my S6 in download mode....

But for some reason Odin won't recognise my S6 device.

The box doesn't turn blue.... And even when I continue through it just says success: 0 failed: 0

Anyone have a possible solution to this?

I have the 920F device.

You might want to connect the device to your pc in normal mode. Windows should install the necessary drivers automatically. Post this try rebooting into Odin and root.

Hi,

I tried flashing both cf autoroot and the twrp tar... Both fail halfway through with a message on the gsm showing something along the lines of: flashing custom image: blocked... I guess this means my bootloader isnt unlocked... Is there way of unlocking it apart from the Samsung crom service? I can't seem to locate it in the galaxy store.. I guess it has something to do with the area I live in?

If anyone knows how i can unlock my bootloader i'd be very grateful :)...

Rooted w/ CF Auto-Root Qns

Hey guys, thanks for the excellent work!

I was just wondering - I have an EE version of the phone with the bloatware of Computrace on it, where I've found from other threads that the only way to get rid of it is to flash a non-EE stock ROM and then do some other things after the flashing process (clearing cache, deleting data etc).

I've rooted with CF auto-root now and was wondering if there'll be any problems doing this?

Also (sorry for n00b) - just to clarify, I can't update to 5.1 right?

If there are payed apps on the rom I will delete them and purchase them from the app store. I cant go back. Truthfully this rom is amazing and so is his soul 19.

At first the phone rebooted successfully.

I installed Gapps as well. Installed all other software from Playstore.

I made a few changes to the Soul Tweaks and applied a few themes.

When I restarted the phone. It is not rebooting.

Now I am stuck on the boot screen. Tried everything, power + volume down, but the phone is not restarting.

I might have to wait till the battery gets drained.

Is there any other option.? Will the phone reboot after I restart again?

Please advise.
[HTC Butterfly] bokithq:
Thats what happened to me multiple times. I had to wait every time for the battery to run out.

Tried everything else and nothing worked.

Just let your phone charge and after charging boot straight into recovery, install the rom again and dont touch the tweaks or restore previous backup.

I think something from the tweaks section is causing this, I restarted multiple times and booted fine but when I changed something from tweaks and rebooted it was just stuck on "htc one" screen.

Nice info buddy..

I wanna take a try, but i dont quite sure what to do.. since google translate just give me more headache to understand the translation..

Can any of you give me a little guide to install this ROM?

Im not that noob, i know how to install cust ROM, kernel and stuff.. just not sure about this one because its in chinese..

thanks alot before guys..
[HTC Butterfly] Clarkie_955i:
Are you using google chrome to help with the translation?
[HTC Butterfly] annex78:
You have to download the rom from the russian site 4pda dot ru. In Aroma the first option is X920E, X920D, J Butterfly or Droid DNA, second option is S-ON or S-OFF. After that you can choose if you wanna install Facebook, HTC stock etc. Reboot, wait a couple of minutes and android will update all apps, after that you can select your language. I'm using Kairi's TWRP 2.7.0.3

For S-ON get boot.img from zipfile and use it in fastboot.

I use last one for a half a year, and want to leave some feedback now.

At first i tried to use it with no restrictions. I set up a google acc, updated it with google play and used it all over the winter. But finally i had not enough free space in my ram and had ~20% minimal processor load at standby mode. I decided to be more accurate with system resources and after a reset didn't activated google apps. Instead of that I used apps from 4pda. Anyway finally I had to activate some gapps, but after that I used android tools for disable some of them. I cut a lot of functions to have a home device (with only wifi services, no phone, no standard apps from the fw, only some necessary of them).

But anyway no luck to have a first performance, like at start of the using this fw. So I suppose it is not enough optimized and required some fixes for more performance.

Help?

which options did you choose when flashing?
[HTC Butterfly] Clarkie_955i:
Hi szewei

Are you s.on or s.off? What recovery are you using and how long does it get stuck on the htc logo for?.

I just flashed it without changing anything at the start. Then see what was installed and what wasn't. Do a nandroid once set then reflash again with different options.
[HTC Butterfly] jayc007:
My Butterfly got only stuck once on the Htc one screen. I somehow managed to get it reboot by pressing the power and vol up, vol down button randomly for at least 10 times. It just vibrated couple of times and then restarted. After this I am now able to reboot successfully. Tried several times but now no issues.
[HTC Butterfly] iamlegend2:
For those whos get bootloop while changing something on soultweaks, i suggest you to try the ROM from 4pda.. annex78 using X920E and me X920D, both of us use the same ROM from 4pda, and didnt get bootloop after changing something on soultweaks.

Me myself enabling fast charge from tweaks, and changing some display related tweaks. No bootloop after restart :D
[HTC Butterfly] Clarkie_955i:
If it is bootlooping . You won't even get into change the tweaks. Unless you are talking about something in the aroma installer. I have tried soul 19 to 28 not one bootloop. Must be doing something right.
[HTC Butterfly] annex78:
Just like Iamlegend2 said, just use the rom that we use from 4pda.ru. they have changed the rom somehow. The filesize is 1.02 G instead of the Soului rom (1.3 G) I guess they have made the rom better and changed some things.

I'm on Soul25 Sense 6 for more than a week, but also tried Soul28 Sense 7. No bootloops or what so ever. Everything works, no FC's.

If you use the rom from 4pda and you have

S-ON

:

1. Unzip the rom and go to the map: DEVICES,

2. Select the map of your device(X920E, X920D etc),

3 Copy the BOOT.IMG to your fastboot folder,

4 Copy the rom to your device,

5 In Bootloader: Fastboot devices, fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot erase cache.

6 Go to recovery ( Kairi's TWRP 2.7.0.3) Wipe/factory reset, install rom,

7 In Aroma select your device, then select

S-ON

,

8 After that you can select or de-select apps but i wouldn't do that, just press next and install the rom,

9 Reboot and it will take a couple of minutes till android will update the apps.

More info please: S-ON or S-OFF, which boot.img did you use, do you have TWRP from kairi? Did you erase cache in bootloader and factory reset in TWRP?

If you made a backup you can restore it in TWRP.

Let me know.

After boot.img flash, I could not flash the rom it says it cannot open the zip file. So I have to revert back to backup and that did not boot.
