Which hosts what it calls 'repair' firmwares for most of the range of Samsung devices.

They all appear to be multi file firmwares that need to be odin flashed as AP, BL, CP & CSC. I believe that most of the available downloads contain their device specific PIT files as well.

If I understand the term 'repair firmware' correctly, then instead of simply overwriting the data partitions (as is normal) they'll erase and format them during the flash. That being the case, they'll stand a greater chance of successful flash than a regular firmware which could aid in the repair/recovery of otherwise unflashable 'softbricked' devices.....hope they can help someone.......

My phone 530h directly boot into recovery after restarting my phone after rooting my phone please help me !
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u0aol:
Use Odin to flash back to stock rom and check the forum for the correct method to root your model, usually this involves flashing a custom recovery and the supersu.zip
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllBacksBlack:
thats exactly what it is suposed to do. when you root it should go recovery to do its magic. let it go and will restart back into normal mode.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u0aol:
Depends on the root method, I've never been forced into recovery over root.

Also I find with the g531h that I've got to pull the battery and restart over booting issues after root, installing supersu via zip in recovery didn't change that.

Reflashing to a stock firmware, flashing twrp and rooting using a flashable supersu.zip is the cleanest method, but it doesn't "force" you into recovery after a reboot, that would imply there's a problem?

Kernelupdater: Stockkernel 20160715*

Source of stockrom : official Elephone forum thread

* You have to have installed superSU in the latest version to use the kernelupdater. Without it, it will not work. The updater will only update the boot.img-zImage (thats the kernel-binary in the boot.img). This will prevent losing root/grorkmod or other mods that affect on boot.img.

Thank you but i don't know if stock rom is better than aerom which i'm running now.What do you guys think?
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bedburg:
I think the best Rom for the P9000 is Aerom V2! V2 because the battery times perfect. Activated Fingerprint and WLAN i have perfect Times. The Phone goes perfect in deep-sleep. All other Roms i tested have problems with deep-sleep.

Is it possible to skip the previous update and flash the zip over Stock ROM Elephone P9000_Android_6.0_20160419? Is user data preserved or will it wipe everything?
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bradco:
I do not agree , aerom Rom is good but Eragon 2.8 also no problem with deep sleep .

Y have activated:

- fingerprint with two fingers

- offsreen gesture on with double tape

- system motion on with tree finger for screenshot

- shortcut button

All features is activated work very fine
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] llucax:
Mmm, interesting, I never could leave the fingerprint reader on to unlock the screen because the EINT wakelock keeps the device awake almost all the time. I notice you have WiFi disabled, the other BIG deep sleep killer for me, I wonder if that could make any difference, but I have the feeling it would be weird.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bradco:
I try to see if there is a difference :) ( for wifi)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ktp1976:
Ok guys, answering to myself. Updated from 20160419 to 20160608. Everything went smooth. Flashed SuperSU and root still works. User data is preserved. Would have been nice to read more about topic related stuff than discussing which ROM has the best battery times. Anyways, a big thanks to OP for providing this zip! Saved my day ;)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arlrb:
I installed this with twrp & lost root (expected), but also twrp so im totally stock now. Maybe it's because I wiped everything but external storage before hand.

Nevermind, flash tool later to regain twrp.

ROM seems nice though, all working good...

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arlrb:
No twrp

In case it matters, upon completion of the install of this zip using twrp, i went to reboot & got a message asking if i was sure as there was no OS installed! I selected reboot anyway, the phone then sat there with the last twrp screen & the vibrator on constantly. I left it for 30 seconds but it kept going, i held the pwr button for 10 seconds to turn it off which it did. When i turned it back on all appeared to load up fine...

Problems...

Since i performed the above, my SD card isn't seen by my phone, & even when i connect the SD card to my pc it doesn't work - assigns it a drive letter in explorer, but grey'd out, can't format or anything.

Not only that, but i can't seem to get twrp back, even though the sp flash tool says it's been done ok. If i try & access it using the pwr & -vol all i get is factory mode with 3 options - auto test, test report & version.

Please advise

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arlrb:

I have just received the OTA upgrade Elephone_P9000_20160608 and it installed perfectly unlike the previous one 20160531 which did not.

They recommend that you remove the SD card prior to installing.

Good news there.

Can I ask if anyone knows if the fixes in 20160531 are also included in 20160608?

In other words will I be missing the fixes in 20160531 or not?

[MENTION=3640838]vsrookie[/MENTION] on the init.rc edits you make would it be better to have the original init.d folder name as just "init.d" and that late-start init.d as "initl.d" instead of initm.d, would make a bit more sense ;)

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Arangato:
I also tested several ROMs and had strange behavior. Unfortunately most battery drain is caused by Fingerprint, but i had good very times with Eragon 2.8 and then reflashed it and second try it was even more worse than Eragon 3.0.

I have the assumption that this is may caused by a really weird circumstance: it depends if you place the phone on the display (not having the FP sensor laying on the ground) or the other way round having the rear side on the ground with the FP sensor near to the surface). It seems that this triggers the sensor, also a plastic case may cause triggering the sensor.... anyone can confirm this?

Thx and br

If your kernel version is not dated Fri Jul 15 then you haven't flashed the right version. The GPS works significantly better for me in this release. Battery drain is good also.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wyldphyr3:
I never realized it before but (even after flashing 20160715) my Kernel version is "Apr 19". And this is the first time I used a "repacked" ROM but I always flashed via TWRP.

My usual steps were:

Download via OTA

Let OTA reboot for installation (needed, since OTA will extract the download just before the rebot)

Quickly hit the buttons for recovery, when rebooting

Flashing the extracted zip from somewhere in /data/...fota.../blablabla (can't remember the exact path)

Seems like it never flashed the new kernel with this method. This looks like a general error when using TWRP to me.

Edit:

From updater-script:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "bootimg");

shouldn't that second line say:

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot");

or

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20");

At least when I look at my recovery.log it seems to alias the boot-partition (mmcblk0p20) as "boot". No mention of bootimg (but I don't know if this is a general alias).

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vsrookie:
Hi!

I will have a look at the updaterscript.

For the actual not actual kernels: ;)

I've added a kernelupdater in the first post. The updater will only update the boot.img-zImage (thats the kernel-binary in the boot.img). This will prevent losing root/grorkmod or other mods that affect on boot.img.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
If you're using my recovery the line:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot");

Should do the trick.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vsrookie:
Hi.

I'll give it a shot this evening I think. Is it implemented in the latest twrp?

For those who don't want to flash everything from beginning, there is a kernelupdater in the first post.

vsrookie
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Yes, the problem with your original script is that the reference "bootimg" doesn't go/link to anywhere whereas using by-name parts does :)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vsrookie:
I've taken the script particial from another one. But flashed too much with dd at runtime. [emoji12]

Never took a look at that.

Stalrange this is, that the ramdisk inside the boot.IMG will be flashed correct. Only kernel doesn't.
