I am at a loss.

I am crazy and like to restore to stock whenever there is a security update or anything like that just so I can remember how to flash recovery, boot images, etc.

So I had the **18-3 with the Feb update and was rooted with SuperSU ( don't recall which ) and TWRP 3.0.0-1 I believe.

When I got the notification for the new security update I promptly unrooted, and flashed the stock 24.49-18-4 / 24.221.4 firmware and am able to boot.

I have installed the latest TWRP and can boot to it, and reboot to system all I want.

I have done this process twice now because the first time I tried to install SuperSU (2.76??) after all this I got stuck on the moto logo and could not boot.

Other threads have mentioned you cannot root with SuperSu on 6.0, or something to that effect.

So I am not unrooted (I believe) on 24.49-18-4 and want to root to be able to get SuperSU and the rest of my root apps up and running.

What do I do from here?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendest12:
Hello, guys, hope someone can help me, here's what happened:

I had cm13 running on my phone, normal, sometimes it restarted itself, but I guess it's normal,

My phone bricked these days, he restarted and didn't wanted to turn back on, so I enterted the twrp and tried to do something about it, ( wiped cache, data, normal stuff ), that's why it got bricked,

It was showing that usb logo, after lots of reserch I was able to unbrick it, but somehow the phone keept restarting itself,

For exemple, I instaled the original rom, when I was configuring it for the first time, bom, restarted,

Changed to CM13, was using it normal, then, again, restarted, and only turned on when plugged to the power,

Otherwise, he'd tried to turn on, but when the blue robot appears he turned down again, it was only possible to turn it on when plugged to the power.

I tried everything on the forum, flashed it a thousand times, with diferentes raw files, recovery.img, boot.img, everything,

Don't know what else I could do, can't use my phone anymore, could someone, please, help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hi I am currently using a Samsung A3 2016 (UK version). It's my first Samsung phone ever so I have no idea of Samsung's track record with update rollouts. How long does it usually take for Sumsung to rollout a software release to the European markets? I see that the UAE version has been released 10 days ago and so far there is only one more country version available....

Thanks for your reply...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] GoldSolitude:
Hi!

Updates are random and unexpected most of the time with Samsung so it's hard to estimate when you'll get your update. Samsung don't usually do a good job of keeping phones up to date with software, so you might expect a update in a week or 2 (or even more) depending on your carrier and how they roll updates out.

thanks!

Thought I would post a tip for anyone else trying to get this to work as I was completely unable to get my phone to boot into recovery on the first boot up after using Odin (I probably tried 20+ times).

Before pressing Start in Odin, turn off the auto-reboot setting. Once the log shows success on the computer, simply pull the battery to turn off the device. Replace the battery and use the normal Volume Up+Home combination when turning on the phone to go straight to recovery.

This worked like a charm for me and removed a huge headache in the process!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Ophiuchu:
I have one of these phones from T-Mobile fresh out of the box that I got from a promotion. Is there a way to dump the roms without rooting or unlocking? I already have a Galaxy S5 so it's not going to be touched really and used as a backup, but I also don't want to brick it and not have a backup phone.

Model: SM-G550T

Build: MMB29K.G550TUVU1APED

Kernel: 3.10.9-8180604

That's currently what it has running Android 6.01 straight from the box. If there's a way I can help here let me know because I eventually want to root/unlock this thing safely if possible. Until then it's going to sit nice and safe in it's place. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bandtab:
That's super nice of you to offer.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about

I think ADB should work for this. Ive tried this with my wife's phone which is identical to mine but I couldn't flash the system.img.. anyways. It'd be nice if someone who knew more than me could confirm if this will work.

1. Enable usb debugging in dev options

2. Get ADB on your pc and go into console in the adb directory

3. Plug the phone in to your computer

4. Type adb shell

5. Type dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/RECOVERY of=/external_sd/recovery.img

6. That should put it on your removable SD

7. Type dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/SYSTEM of=/external_sd/system.img

The thing is I'm pretty sure this won't work but maybe it will. I have a G550T1 so I doubt it'd help me but it maaay work for the T-Mobile versions. They'd just convert the img into a tar and flash with Odin.

I dont think system.img can be flashed from using dd but it's worth a shot if you don't mind. It is a large file, however, at least 2.5gb.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jce2005:
Hi jcadduono,

thanks for the instruction ....... Seems like all works well, Odin says PASS !, except I am not able to perform the following step :

"Hold [Volume Up] + [Home] buttons near the end of the flash, and keep holding them until you are in recovery."

I tried like 20 times, but after holding "Volume Up + Home", my phone just reboots normally, but does not go into recovery.....

Can you please narrow down for me when I have to push them together to get into TWRP ?

Thx, Good work
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Ophiuchu:
Jcadduono is working with me to help provide something for people with something they can use right now. Took me a bit to understand ADB shell and everything along with the phone compiling these img files for hours. After this if all goes well there will be a stock .tar for people to flash their soft bricked phones and fix everything hopefully. So you can pretty much thank them for working with my newbieness for hours to make this possible.

A couple posts above gives good advice here to uncheck the auto reboot box in Odin before you flash then hold the buttons which I think is PWR+Vol-up+Home all together. You'll have to pull your battery ONLY AFTER it finishes and says success along with disconnecting the USB which can still power your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jce2005:
Hi there, thanks for the advise...... I'll try it in the morning.....

At what point do I need to pull the battery and power cable ? Before or after going into TWRP Recovery ? I am a bit confused right now... LOL
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Ophiuchu:
When you uncheck the box to not auto-restart after flashing it will just sit there after it flashes TWRP onto your phone. You pull the battery out AFTER it successfully flashes so your phone will power off giving proper time to hold PWR+Vol-Up+Home which will boot into TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jce2005:
DANG ! Root on Galaxy On5 !

All worked perfect, TWRP installed with Odin and then flashed SuperSU via TWRP and recovery as well as root sticks !!! Perfect,

Thanks to all of you.

PS: the instructions in the OP should be updated so people know to UNCHECK the Auto Reboot, remove battery and USB cable and do the "Volume Up + Home + Power to get into TWRP to flash SuperSU. Also, might be a good idea ( I did it this way ) to download SuperSU before starting the procedure and putting it in the root of Main Memory........ It's easier to flas this way once TWRP is installed.

For those who need to restore full stock, I have Odin flashable firmware for G550T here thanks to a user who worked with me to back it all up from their device: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/on5ltetmo_SM-G550T/G550TUVU1APF1/

It's missing BL (sboot.bin) as BOOTLOADER partition was unavailable for access by kernel.

Do not flash the OPT tar.md5 unless you're absolutely bricked. It contains all the other flashable partitions, ex. EFS.

I'm reporting that I successfully flashed TWRP into my sm-g550t t-mobile and stock rom using the tools and instructions in the OP.

NoobTip, after you are done with Odin and then you remove and put on the battery again, if you let the phone reboot into Android and not TWRP first, you lose what you did and you will have to flash TWRP again.

hey [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] thank you very much for your collaboration, I flashed the phone with your Adoptable storage patch and it worked!, although in my case I had to unmount and remount the sd card before I could see any internal format option. So I got some questions:

Is there a way to revert or rollback the the adoptable storage patch?

I flashed my phone with TWRP so I could use your adoptable storage patch BUT I did not root it. Now that I am done, is it safe to disable

enable oem unlock

and

developer options

?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Mohit Rathor:
Enable oem unlock first
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tundrawolf:
My on5 is my backup phone. I work construction and constantly break phones. The problem is that the on5 has so little memory, I can't even have 3 apps on it before it literally fills up. Even moving the apps to SD doesn't help, after updating the phone is literally full. Is there a tiny bare bones ROM I can download for it that doesn't have any of the bloatware, just the minimum android app package?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LighthammerX:
One of the really big problems the phone has is they split the 8 gig rom into (essentially) two 4 gig roms and allocated one of the 4 gigs to /system/ --- I can only guess its because they expected KNOX to be a big staple and they wanted to give KNOX a huge amount of space to manage multiple users on the same phone. They also did something to the partitions that I cant figure out how to free them up. Essentially there's about 1.5 gigs over there that could easily be shifted to the /sdcard/ --- but it bricks the phone if you do that =(.

There's a few things I can recommend right off the bat. The community has built three really good scripts for TWRP that will remove a lot of the junk. You can get them on my AndroidFileHost

De-KNOXer

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397887201

De-Samsung Bloaterer

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397887199

Debloater

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397887200

That will remove all the Samsung junk from your system. Be aware there is still more KNOX junk the community can't get rid of because of various scripting issues that haven't been tracked down --- but that will get rid of 90% of the KNOX junk.

The other option is something I am toiling with but it has bugs right now. I found a diagnostic rom that I am reconstructing as a pure android experience --- and it runs A TON cleaner then anything else short of Lineage (which there is no US rom that doesn't have issues ATM).

You can try it:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397887152

The major issues I'm trying to resolve on this rom are:

#1.) The Power Button IMMEDIATELY turns off the phone.

#2.) Google Contacts is having sync issues.

#3.) Minor nuisance --- upon rebooting, a script/program turns off Wi-Fi --- you can immediately turn it back on.

If you can deal with those issues, you may consider trying that.

Be aware its a TMO Rom. If you're using Metro or another carrier, backup your EFS folder before trying this.

Honestly, once I figure out those issues, this will become my daily driver for my ROM. I tend to use this phone any time I'm going some place where there's the slimest possibility its going to get damaged or stolen.

FYI, this is a TWRP Backup file, not an installer. It will erase everything. I don't know how to make an installer =(.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tundrawolf:
Lighthammer, THANK YOU for this amazingly helpful post! You are why the internet is an awesome place.

Let me ask you a question, I can live with the negatives of the ROM you speak of, EXCEPT the contacts not syncing thing. I have close to 400 contacts that I really do need, clients, customers, vendors, friends, etc. If they do not sync up (I am constantly adding new contacts, the actual number is close to 1,200 contacts but 400 ones that I need and would be crippled without)

What kind of syncing issues am I looking at?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LighthammerX:
I would actually like someone to test it --- but as far as I can tell, you CAN import your contacts and they will sync back to the server, but the ROM won't bring new contacts generated from other sources.

There are non-google alternatives that will work around this.

For all the problems I outlined, there are non-google alternatives to fix the problems. I've been trying to fix the problems so it can be just a pure working ROM.

I can't get this thing to reboot to bootloader so I can oem unlock. When I use adb reboot bootloader it boots into OS.

Asking for a friend…
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashyx:
No such thing as adb reboot bootloader on a Samsung device.

It's adb reboot download.

That won't allow you to OEM_UNLOCK either. That's done via developer options in settings.

If you're looking to get kernel development going, check out this: https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_samsung_exynos3475

There's a few branches:

twrp-6.0 - source and config for kernel used in TWRP (minimal config to save space, rebased on stock 6.0 with updates)

stock-6.0 - source for starting off on the stock kernel config and sources

touchwiz-6.0 - Kali NetHunter patches and config (rebased on stock 6.0 with updates)

opensource - Pure Samsung OSRC updates, nothing else (stock-6.0 is rebased on top of this when new updates come out)

Toolchain used to build kernel (you can tar xf it at ~/build/toolchain/ to match build.sh): https://releases.linaro.org/compone...4.9-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

If adding your own config, add it as a target in targets.sh if you want to use build.sh or menuconfig.sh

Once you build it, you can install it using my kernel-flasher-samsung branch of lazyflasher @ https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher/tree/kernel-flasher-samsung

git clone https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher.git -b kernel-flasher-samsung
