I think you have rooted (SU2.71 that has been introduced in the CF-Auto-Root) & stock recovery of A9000.

Only to flash the A9000-PC2-TWRP-3.02-0405.tar via ODIN.

Then you get the rooted and TWRP custom recovery on your A9000.

If you feel that SU is the instability

Please install superSU-2.65.zip (recommended for lollipop) from TWRP.

### dont use CF-Auto-Root again. It will Overwrite TWRP to the stock recovery.

Install ADB on your PC

Download any gapps distro and save it to your PC in your ADB folder.

Go to TWRP enable Sideload

type this in pc

adb sideload gapps.zip

reboot you A9

Then;

1. Enable ADB on your A9, (authorize it)

2. Enter this command in your ADB shell (PC): adb shell pm grant "com.google.android.setupwizard" android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

3. Reboot your phone.

4. Go to settings and grant all permissions to all google apps.

Does anybody with an A9 Pro (a9100) have any idea how to install TWRP, SuperSU and Gapps on the latest APD5 update? I know there's a YouTube video floating about with good instructions on how to install both TWRP and SuperSU but that's for an older firmware and causes a softbrick when used, for obvious reasons.

My bootloader is already unlocked, I'm just out of ideas on what to do and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I was so excited when my wife was bought this phone ( Galaxy A9 Pro ) from China until I realize that it don't have any google apps preinstalled.

I was so desperate and try to search in any tutorial ( google, youtube, forums, etc ) how to install google apps in my A9 pro and I found that it needs to be rooted through TWRP recovery. Rooting is a new for me, so I followed the steps as per tutorial. There are 2 TWRP file that I tried to flash with Odin and it all failed. My phone was Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro ( SM-A9100 ZCU1 APD1 ) running on Marshmallow

1. Flashed A9100-APD1-TWRP-3.02-0419.tar : Result is PASS but unable to open TWRP recovery after booting

2. Flashed A9100-PC4-TWRP-3.02-0405.tar : Result is FAIL ( got panic because phone was stuck in booting )

After failed in both trial, I'm not dare to proceed further more. Maybe I'll just wait for CF Autoroot or A9 Pro Hongkong version firmware released.

Anyway does anyone can give me advise, is there a possibilities that we can flash through ODIN the A9 Pro (SM-A9100) with A9 ( SM-A9000) Hongkong version firmware ? And what will be the impact ?

Cause I don't care if it have to be back to Android Lollipop as long I have google apps on my phone.

Pls Help

Thx

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] steberg:
The A9 Pro is big, heavy and slippery (need to get a cover for it but not available in EU). But the screen and battery time is awesome. But I would not recommend buying the SM-A9100 china version. Wait for the SM-A910F/DS since that will be the international version. There is a lot of headache with tinkering with the china version. It is workable but still a lot of Chinese stuff in it. I got it debloated and installed google play, but I tend to use my note 3 more, because it's lighter and more convenient to use.

Hi!

I have the Samsung A9 Pro (SM-A9100)

I use this firmware A9100ZCU1APD5 after an updating the phone from A9100ZCU1APD1

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-A9100

I didn't install the last one (A9100ZCU1APF1) as i need to reinstall all, root again, Gapps, etc

To remove all the bloatware and to avoid YellowPages, Baidu, Browser with AdblockFast with Google and no Baidu, etc etc... The best trick i found is to simply modify the CSC folder, especially others.xml (need to root your phone)

I can provide mine as i did a deep testing to get the most non China bloatware with Google Apps.

Everything works good.. I only miss 1 functionality but i suppose that it's the issue with the firmware (maybe the A9100ZCU1APF1 fix it?). The issue is with the T9-search on the Dialpad. I can only search the number... Cannot search with the names. Very annoying... I read to remvoe all my account and put again... didn't try completely yet.

Anyway.. I would like to inform that the " international" version from Vietnam/malaysia firmwares have been released...

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-A910F

Wondering if i can install it on my phone

Well I tried to Install the SM-A910F firmware on my SM-A9100, but did not work at all. Did the download extracted the .pit file flashed it with odin together with the firmware, all fail. Went back to A9100ZCU1APF1, but like you said it's a headache to root and debloat etc for every firmware upgrade. I do hope we will find a way to flash the International firmware.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dark Avenger:
Thanks for trying it. You got a bootloop?

Did you follow this process?

Turn off your device.

Now Press and hold ‘Volume Down, Home and Power buttons’ at same time and release them when you see Android Logo with warning!

Now press ‘Volume UP’ to get in to Download mode. (Download mode – it helps to flash firmware on most of the Samsung’s devices)

Now head onto PC, from the Odin folder, double-click on Odin3.0.9.exe file to run it. The program will run just like below:eek:din Flash

Now connect your phone to computer/PC using a USB cable. Now head onto Odin program, the ID:Com section should turn to light blue or green that tells that device has been connected properly.

Note: In case it does not turn to any of these colors, make sure to install USB drivers again to your PC and re-connect it.

Now under the Odin program, Select “AP” and then find and locate .md5 file from the extracted folder of firmware. Do not make any other changes.

Now, click on “Start” button to start the process.

As soon as the process gets completed, PASS! message will get displayed over the Odin screen and now you can disconnect the device.

Do you have the T9-dialpad search issue on your phone with A9100ZCU1APF1?

I think we can share our experiences as i don't know how "much" you debloat the China rom ?

I did not use the CSC file from 4pda.ru, I copied the CSC folder from another phone that has the NEE CSC and copied it to the CSC folder of SM-A9100. Probably not the best way but it works perfect so far.

About flashing the .pit file from 910F via odin to 9100 did not work at all.

And what hack the Russians done with the CSC.zip folder Idk, but it would be nice to try it.

No LED notification on both A910F and A9100 model.

Both are identical devices but the Chinese version comes with Baidu and some of its system ui are designed for the Chinese user. So you could still see some Chinese words even though you have manage to change the device language.

The A910F comes built in with international English UK and US and South East Asia languages only.

It has Google Play Store and samsung galaxy app just like any other Galaxy devices which are sold elsewhere except CHINA.

It comes with 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box.

I bought in Malaysia a week ago and I'm quite impressed with the device. It's fast, gorgeous UI, and long lasting battery life whereby I only charge after 2 days on a moderate use !!

(moderate use on my Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 will only last 13hrs)

No overheating issues when playing heavy graphical or sensor dependant games.
