Yes please upload it if you have make it.

Really appreciate it.Thanks:)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AliSal:
this is the stock recovery I've just extracted it from the stock firmware because I broke mine while testing root method

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gx3frdzft03syui/recovery.tar.md5?dl=0

download it and flash it using odin (AP/PDA)

[MENTION=5505649]TinyFlare[/MENTION]

I am sure it works for galaxy A800F. What it does not work for is A800I. It will brick the phone in a way that you cannot proceed, and chances are you will have a bad day like AliSal said. After BRICKING MY DEVICE with a Root method meant for A800F, I can assure you that root TOOL for A800F is different from A800I.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xdamami:
Hey Guys please A800I user which firmware has Russian Language please guys someone can check languages on A800I. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AliSal:
I don't have Russian, I'm using firmware built for thailand.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xdamami:
Hey Ali What u think United Arab Emirates has russian language or how can i chek this? I don't have phone.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AliSal:
I don't know actually you have to ask someone who has that firmware installed.

I managed to get Russian language on my device using a third party app called moreLangs but you have to use pc to do few adb commands because we don't have root for this device.

you can read the instructions when you install moreLangs app.

screenshot from my device using Russian language attached below

cheers

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AliSal:
btw Russian and too many languages are supported by default as input language (keyboard language)

the method above just to change the UI language.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xdamami:
Best Regardss Ali without root i can add ru language that is well. But which shell Ali can u link me?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AliSal:
I'm not an expert with these things, I don't understand your question "which shell".

but here is what I'm using.

- SM-A800I with usb debugging enabled and moreLangs app should be installed.

- Latest ADB drivers (I don't remember from where I installed it).

- And this file to do ADB commands gnex.zip

after installing the drivers and connecting your device (remember to enable usb debugging)

extract gnex.zip to C:\

then open the cmd and type these commands:

cd C:\gnex

(go to gnex folder)

adb shell

(I don't know what this mean xD)

pm grant sightidea.com.setlocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

(give moreLangs app the permission to change the device configuration)

Thats it.

screenshot from cmd after the commands.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] shubham540:

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] salvatorebgd:
Are you sure about that?

Have someone told you it is going to be rooted?

Thanks Man

it's working, I've just rooted my device.

I've done as you said and after the first boot, root checker said that my device is not rooted, I did a restart and then it said my device is rooted.

I've installed super su from play store and that's it.

I'll donate and put your post at the first page to let other people find this.

some apps (lucky patcher) are saying busy box is not installed I'll check that later

quick question: it will knock the knox or not?

my warranty was already void so I don't know.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kraken77:
for busybox you can search on google play and install it easily. The answer to your question, yes any flashing through odin will knock your knox and your warranty will be void. :) Thanks mate.

For next step after root: xposed framework. It appears the only available xposed framework flash method for the phone is by using Wanam's cwm method or Chainfire's Flashfire. My phone seems to have stock recovery with the options for update from adb/update from external stofrage disabled. I tried adb root command says phone offline though i can see it is available on port. I have confirmed root access. Anyone been successful with xposed framework flash yet?

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kraken77:
its already developed by chainfire i guess, see post #117.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cheupe:
Update:

1. Once you obtain root, latest FireFlash installs and works like magic on a800i works ok and can be used to flash zips on a800i

2. Despite cortex a53 (ARMv8) specs for a800i, xposed framework v80 sdk 22-x64 is not for this device. It will not install and it will not cause a bootloop BUT

3. xposed framework v80 sdk 22-x86 installs safely without causing a boot loop, but appears not to work. When you install it and then install the xposed 3.0 alpha apk, it tells you that xposed framework not installed on the device. However the phone works just fine and does not boot loop.

4. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT install the file xposed-v80-sdk22-arm on your phone! It is very different from v80 sdk 22 x86 and will cause a boot loop that you cannot come out of because as far as I am aware, there is no custom recovery for this phone yet. I thought if the x86 file does not work, maybe the one without x86 will, my phone is in boot loop and is going into the toilet for now. I have been wondering why quite a few of my friends are leaving Samsung heheheeee... I really enjoyed s4 series though...

I am indebted to you for having posted the boot.img for the phone. Might you (or anyone else) be having the recovery.img, please assist me by uploading that too. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
So what device is similar to this in specs?

There is a chance you can port "twrp" to get a recovery
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cheupe:
Thanks for the suggestion. The most similar is a800f. Same specs, just different firmware. But the recovery image (twrp/cwm) for a800f bricks it. I know this because I tried flushing it into the a8001 and soft bricked it. Hahahaaaa... I think in our struggle for root, many of us here have actually soft bricked our phones doing quite outrageous stuff, but bricking it from an a800f custom recovery? This one I couldn't imagine!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
You need to decompile it and replace some stuff with A8 source, I can try make it working (though don't I have the device but I succeeded in porting from j7 to S5 Neo so it can work
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cheupe:
When I have heard about "decompile" has usually been about taking apart an apk to see its contents? I did not know that you could do that for recovery.img and boot.img files... that is beyond my level of expertise. I don't play in the big leagues yet. The most I can do is find correct flush, and flush it.

When it comes to peering into .img files, that is where I take off and leave you big boys to play with the fire around the dynamite sticks. They can handle the explosions, if you know what I mean heheheheee...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
don't worry it's okay :)

Note: This is an unofficial "Test" port of TWRP from J7 i've done same steps as i did to get TWRP running on S5 neo, so i hope it'll work, if not i missed something.

Never mind it was broken due to kernel

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
You should not use odin, or what do you mean with nand write.

If flashify fail,

Use dd command, but you must have root first.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cheupe:
1. I have root (confirmed)

2. I have FireFlash, great apk btw. I guess Flashify is similar? But that would not work when you are on boot loop I guess because you don't have access to that?

3. dd command you mean from adb on the pc?

Three options for me:

1. Odin (I used mk mourad's tar tool to convert image and flash)

2. Custom recovery (not yet available for me yet since there is no working custom recovery (cwm etc) for the phone...

3. I have used ADB before, but found it more technical than odin or custom recovery...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
Flash fire can fail to flash I never got it to work, try flashify instead. I've flashed my own recovery and boot with flashify worked without issues.

You can run dd from PC or terminal but I prefer automated stuff or one click tools but you'll have to write adb shell

Su then the commands on previous page, regards
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cheupe:
Thanks. I am concerned that I may completely mess my phone if I just get into the root/system directory and start meddling with stuff in there without the necessary knowhow needed for such gymnastics.

yes on both imgs it gave this message in red.

Sorry I can't try it right now, I'll try it tomorrow and give you feedback (I've reached my daily flashify limit 3 tests) and I can't try it using my computer right now.

and I don't know what permissive kernel means

Thanks

just wipe the app data :) it means its less secure and less aggressive than enforcing :) etc boot into twrp is one issue with enforcing kernel, you can use FlashR (Rashr) also to flash recovery
