Hey everyone, I've got a Samsung J5 SM-J500fn, the most common one on the chart.

I have a problem, after rooting & trying to enable KNOX security(oops) it's bricked my phone :(

The CWM installed won't work, it says E: Unknown, says adb sideload and update from storage is disabled or something of the like..

Is all hope lost? It's been like this for a few weeks, I'd like to get a cyanogenmod rom on it though that's for sure, they work the best.

If any of you could please assist me, it'd really mean a lot. I don't have money for a new one unfortunately.. Also in Canada if that's of any relevancy

Thanks for reading, hope someone has beat this already, I cannot find it in the search engines.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] #Henkate:
Hello!

Don't worry. I've done same thing like you in past. You don't need to pay any money. All you need is patience.

Go HERE (click) and read at "How to flash / reflash Stock ROM".

If you want to root it again, read at "how to flash custom recovery" and then at "how to root it".

Here you can find latest cm built from sources: CM 12.1 built from source . In first post of this thread, you find instructions to install it , at Install mode for .zip archives

HERE (click) you can find some basic information like what is Knox, root, etc.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] American_Jesus:
Found possible solution for the themes issue ("Theme Failed To Install").

Adding ClockGoogle (/system/app/PrebuiltDeskClockGoogle <- maybe this?) to gapps-remove.txt solves the problem!?

Sources:

"To solve it I created the gapps-config.txt, added ClockGoogle to exclude, and again wiped dalvik, cache, and system then installed the same nightly and open gapps full. This solved the problem with every theme I tried installing successfully."

- tekwyzrd at forum.cyanogenmod.org​

"I had this issue on CM12.1 and was able to fix by installing gapps-aroma and not installing google clock. Google clock apparently breaks the theme engine."

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] karl6994:
Thanks everyone & sorry, problem solved.

If you use either of those links & you've had some sort of KNOX security(or another samsung security) you may need to find a samsung security cracker apk, load it to a USB OTG(micro usb android drive), first go into bootloader though & wipe cache partition/do the reset option, then boot it up & go as far as you can until it asks you for the verification email. then plug in usb otg with security cracker apk, it will take you to security in settings, click allow unknown(or whatever it is, it'll tell you), then install, click open & it will open the settings panel, you can find the factory reset in the settings & that will clear the password.

That was the issue I ran into & I thought I should at least let everyone else know if it hasn't already been mentioned. Sorry for the confusion yesterday, thank you all very much, it works great, better than before by a lot! :)

Trying to figure out TWRP that works with the SM-J500FN & haven't been able to do the Xposed framework install right, but the phone functions perfectly, rooted easily & it's simply amazing, thank you all very much

TWRP: TWRP Recovery for Samsung Galaxy J5

Xposed to Samsung Stock Rom: Xposed for Samsung Lollipop/Marshmallow

Xposed to AOSP/Custom Roms: Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow

If you install official Xposed on a Samsung stock rom will give you boot loops.

Some modules wont work on Dual sim stock roms, like Xstana
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] karl6994:
Oh no... So I can't put Xposed on it? I could never find the cyanogenmod rom on this thread.. all the "download" links I've been told to go to haven't worked, for the cyanogenmod rom... really unfortunate, I guess I need to worry about TWRP first then, thank you.

If anyone could find me a Cyanogenmod CM11 for the J5 SM-J500FN that would be so sweet, I'm not a fan of android 5+, but if there's only a CM12 it's fine, something is better then nothing, 4.4 is so much easier to install Xposed with, 5 always gave me hard times & never was able to actually do it, follow all the directions on how-to flash & it'd never work.

Thank you all very much :)

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] American_Jesus:
You can, if you are using the Samsung stock rom, use this one

If you have a custom rom, use this one

Flash it with TWRP ( eg. xposed-vxx.x-sdkxx-tw-armxx-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip), and install the XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk.

If something went wrong, go back to TWRP and flash xposed-uninstaller*.zip

Follow the instructions described, and you should have problems.

Its recommended to make a nandroid backup, so you can restore your entire system

If your are using Unoficial CyanogenMod 12.1 by [MENTION=3178159]vaserbanix[/MENTION], you don't need to flash Xposed*.zip, it's already installed, only need to install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk

Hmm this is strange...I have restored cm12.1 build 3 once again and installed the kernel but i can't simulate the issue you guys are having when connecting to the power.

Maybe something is badly messed up with the system files,so first flash the stock rom and then install the cm12.1 build(3) and kernel once again.

Hello [MENTION=5882401]Nick Verse[/MENTION]

thank you very much for the new build.

SM-J500F Duos user here.

I am facing similar issues to your last few builds - i.e. no SIM detected. Replacing boot.img with the one from [MENTION=7138840]ganesh varma[/MENTION] 20160428 build solves the problem. Apart from that, I did not notice any problems (e.g. Wifi was working)

Is there anything you would like me to try? Logcat? Setprop multisim?

I didn't test last Nick's build, i'm using the build from vaserbanix, you can see my report here.

Dual Sim seems to be working, but i didn't test a second sim yet. Only minor issues like (built-in) Radio, Flip Cover (workaround WaveUp or alternative Gravity Screen), can't install Themes (gapps related) and kernel governor (workaround with Kernel Adiutor set cpu governor to "interactive" and min. freq. to 200Mhz with apply on boot or Kernel Linaro v5 (not tested))

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] American_Jesus:
I can't install theme too, a possible solution is to install OpenGApps-arm-5.1-nano(or micro) (one without Google Clock) when you flash your rom and gapps on TWRP, but i didn't tested that yet, can't say if it works or not.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Pr0Ankit:
I installed the latest build (20160521) on my J500F but there are few things I noticed :-

1> Touch sounds are very very low (almost negligible)

2> Screen lock sound is very low

3> There is a NFC Option and Ambient light sensor option present in the ROM for J500F Variant which does not works because j500f does not have nfc and ambient light sensor for controlling brightness

4> SIM Card is not detected. I tried pushing my sim card in both the slots but it did not help. (Fixed by flashing boot.img from ganesh verma's build)

5> When we play music and then close the music app from recent apps menu.. the music notification still stays in the notification panel which shows that the music is still playing with a pause button and we cant remove the music notification until we pause it. (Fixed by using Google Play Music instead of Cyanogen Music)

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ajislav:
Hello [MENTION=5882401]Nick Verse[/MENTION]

thank you for your polite reply, but I think you have misunderstood my report.

In all your previous builds (20160504, 201605047 and now the latest 20160521), I had the "no SIM card" problem on SM-J500F (DUOS). In all 3 builds, replacing the boot.img solved the problem as I have previously reported (e.g. post 955)

Other users have also reported this (e.g. post 1392)

Since I use my J5 as a daily driver, I cannot afford to not have SIM. But I am willing to reflash your boot.img and take a logcat if you believe this will help you detect the issue.

Anyway, I just wanted to confirm that you are aware of the issue and I wanted to volunteer to help you identify the problem.

Regards
