[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Thanks :). What model do you have?
[General Questions and Answers] akasharif:
I mean that below----

1. Reboot into recovery mode from/via TWRP not working

2. Screen brightness slider Not working on recovery(When i try brightness level "up & down" its showing same brightness level).

You have to go TWRP recovery>Settings>Screen> you found Brightness slider, now try up & down its not work.

I have J500H/DS how to root this device note i have tried kingo root and towel root and also tried odin cm auto root tar file which failed in odin please guyz tell me how u rooted this device with no issue??
[General Questions and Answers] tuntun2526:
Which root file did you use, pretty sure the one for sm-e500H should work. Did you toggle the unlock bootloader in the developer's option?
[General Questions and Answers] celta1976:
I did the same thing like [MENTION=4128348]MrMosQuito[/MENTION], but all failed. I don't have unlock bootloader option in the developer's settings.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Flash twrp. Once it is flashed download super su zip. Then flash supersu via twrp and you got root

I found how to root my samsung J5 and to install TWRP with a locked Bootloader !!! My Model SM-J5008 (China Mobile)

First, download CROM Services, file .apk here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60204006&postcount=5 and install, execute in the phone.

Second, with odin, flash this files :

[IMG="Rooted !!"]http://nsa38.casimages.com/img/2015/10/10/mini_151010121551192706.png[/IMG]

And finally, install TWRP !!

Thanks to all
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Great! I have mentioned you in the TWRP thread. Did you flash gapps yet? If not, I recommend those : http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

Also make a backup before flashing, Incase your stock ROM doesn't allow to flash gapps
[General Questions and Answers] MrMosQuito:
Guyz is it possible to get back KNOX to 0×0 to claim warranty in future in case required? Because my knox is clicked and my one year warranty is lost after flashing e500 file for root purpose??
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Nope. Always inform yourselve before you flash
[General Questions and Answers] tuntun2526:
Happy for you. Good that you didn't give up easily.
[General Questions and Answers] celta1976:
Thanks, I installed gapps. !! Perfect. Backup done.

Actually, My Official rom on my phone hasn't French Language. Only chinese or English.

Can I install official rom of SM-J500F for example instead of Official version SM-J5008 ??

Or tell me a name of a custom rom I can install.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
I will take a look into the ROMs. I will tell you what I can do. I think I will make a flashable zip with the stock ROM for twrp. Don't try to flash a stock firmware via Odin. Your bootloader will probably not allow it and with that said, you will loose all data and the TWRP recovery
[General Questions and Answers] serdotlinecho:
I have flashed the xposed arm zip file, reboot and it's working fine on stock odex rom. Make sure to do nandroid backup before flashing xposed. Some wanam lollipop tweaks did not apply after reboot like the circle battery and center clock.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Please tell me where you downloaded it! The one I recommended boot looped! A guy is begging me to get XPosed working so this would make him very happy.
[General Questions and Answers] serdotlinecho:
Lol. I didn't get boot loop when I flashed the xposed zip file on my first attempt!

All I did was download and install the latest xposed installer apk and flash xposed zip file by wanam and reboot.

You can get the apk and zip file from here.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
64 bit or 32bit. Also did you have to wipe before. We tried those and we got a bootloop
[General Questions and Answers] serdotlinecho:
32 bit. Before I download the zip file, I ran the command "cat /proc/cpuinfo" inside termux to check the cpu architecture and it shows "ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l)". So it is 32 bit architecture. So I download the arm version.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

I did experienced boot loop after reboot from twrp for the first time. It is not because of xposed though. You can read here.
[General Questions and Answers] souvikpal:
Here steps I've tried...

Ok guyz I am a J5 owner, and here is the whole situation:

1.	No root app(s) currently able to root SM-J500F. “Partial” root works by flash files made for other models like E5 (By ChainFire). I’ve rooted my phone with Odin by flash files of E5. :)

2.	After rooting recovery mode will stop working. If you install the CWM (that comes with flash files, in my case, CWM for E5) with Rom Manager, your device will never boot, you’ll be forced to flash stock rom. And off course, Rom Manager currently has no xxx.zip files to download for J5.

3.	You can use TWRP 2.8.7.0, build by CTXz (Hats off to you, Sir); but there are bugs in phone basic functions like Brightness slider, USB OTG etc..

Please try to make a workaround CTXz sir; and Koushik Dutta sir please build a CWM for J5.

After rooting I was trying to set device status official and enable ota update. It is important because Smart Switch currently not detecting j5 firmware (backup works fine) and Kies3 says device is compatible with smartswitch!!

Triangle away reset flash counter to zero but can’t find system modified workaround.

Tried “removing memory card” method available on net. Also wiped data of SysScope with Titanium; but no luck!

At last, Wanam Xposed was only solution to try. But Xposed Framework installation failed due to device wasn’t booting in recovery mode!

I can't post screenshots right now, as I am a new user.. :(
[General Questions and Answers] serdotlinecho:
If you want to install and flash xposed on J5 stock odex rom, avoid flashing E5 root file. If you'd already rooted using the E5 root file, do not flash twrp and reboot from twrp, you'll get boot loop. What you need to do is try to unroot or wipe dalvik cache and flash the stock rom(recommended). Then flash twrp and root your J5 via twrp. Install xposed apk file and reboot to twrp recovery. Then, flash the xposed zip file.

After you tap reboot system in twrp menu, your device will be stuck at samsung boot logo, just be patient during the boot process because it needs to rebuild the entire ART libraries. Wait until you see "android is upgrading optimizing apps..." and you will see your lockscreen after that. Happy tweaking!

How to clear dalvik cache without having access to recovery mode?

I want to completely destroy all data (to set knox counter 0) and install twrp. How can I do that?

And can you give me link of supersu and xposed compatible with j5, please?
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
You can't flash twrp without voiding Knox. Nor can you reset Knox.

Supersu zip is here https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
[General Questions and Answers] serdotlinecho:
Here's the files you need, xposed apk and xposed zip file(arm 32bit).

Make sure your device was not rooted with the E5 root file and wipe the dalvik cache before flashing the zip file.

My mate locked himself accidentally out of his own phone by factory resetting it and now it asks for his google account, but he forgot his account data. Is there a way to unbrick the phone? Or is this just another hardbrick made by Google's new, legendary stupid device protection?

I thought it could theoretically possible to unlock the bootloader in fastboot (don't know if it's possible, or how) and flashing some custom stuff but I think it won't work.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Can't he skip the Google account. You could flash the odin image
[General Questions and Answers] Einheit-101:
Unfortunately, it seems you are not aware of Google's new fail, the so called device protection. Flashing any android 5 thing won't erase the device protection, only flashing 4.x could resolve this. But

A) no 4.x exists for this device

B) Bootloader must be unlocked
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
Can you root it
[General Questions and Answers] Einheit-101:
Seems not to be possible, the only thing i can enter is fastboot since the OS is blocked by Google's new device protection. So the only possible way could be a fastboot exploit that unlocks the bootloader and allows me to flash something to remove this device protection.
[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
There's no fastboot Samsung phones. Only download mode.

[General Questions and Answers] CTXz:
I want to make this clear for all of you now.

Recovery doesn't need root. Root access is only disabled on a system partition. That's because android can decide it. However the recovery partition is something completely different. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SYSTEM!

So in short. Recovery doesn't require root!

Hi,

I open this thread to talk about DoubleTap2Wake function on Nexus 4.

I feel the need of this function because my little button power is almost dead :p

So, to remedy I have enabled the function DoubleTap2Wake through the manager kernel Hellscore Kernel (with Chroma ROM).

I flashed all (rom, gapps and kernel) yesterday, so I can't comment regarding performance and battery with this pair.

And you, used this functions? Yes, with which ROMs and Kernels? The results are good?

bellaPeTutti++;
[Nexus 4 General] donz_Simon:
Yeah.. Me to but with saosp + quanta kernel, because with hellscore sometime I've freeze screen
[Nexus 4 General] dhanmohan:
I use it all time cause i just want to move my finger to the power button all time...i'm lazy ? i use Quanta V6 with any rom
[Nexus 4 General] bluesteve3:
I use Hellscore Kernel and use its manager to enable this function.

I have a problem where the function doesn't always work. As in, I double tap the centre of the screen and it doesn't turn on sometimes. The DT2W works just after the screen turns off but not after a while of not using it.

Any suggestions as to why this is?

Any solution?
[Nexus 4 General] sergio_f:
i use volume buttons to wake up lol
[Nexus 4 General] Dreggar:
I have same problem when display is in front pocket and display is facing my leg. If you understand what i mean. When is turned it is working.
[Nexus 4 General] PimpTwzt:
I have noticed that it only works when its on the charger. When its not charging it wont wake. Also the middle of the screen was tripping out when I would use the phone. If I touched the middle of the screen it would click on things or not work.. it was getting very hard to use the phone. Thought my digitizer was dying... then I thought wait.. this started happening after I installed that custom kernel and activated double tap to wake. Also sometimes when I turn the screen on via the power button, my digitizer would not respond anywhere.. i would have to slap the screen a couple times to get it to start responding. So today I disabled double tap and rebooted the phone and now my digitizer works just fine. The middle of the screen is responsive again when I use it. So for some reason I guess having the center of the screen active at all times was messing with it somehow.
[Nexus 4 General] magnus48:
Another very good option to wake the device is use Gravity Screen. No need to touch the screen or any button, just face up or down your phone.
