What did you wipe after installing gapps?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
It doesn't say you formatted the data partition before applying the boot patch and installing supersu.

If the last thing he did was wipe, it's no wonder it got stuck, nothing to boot!

Rooting galaxy mobile

Rooting require software download any good rooting software like autoroot ,king root and there are many free rooting tools. Install it on computer some rooting software also need to install client on your galaxy smartphone.

You also need flashing software like odin to flash custom rom. Install it on computer.

Also download and install usb driver for your samsung galaxy to computer.

First turn on usb debugging on your galaxy mobile. You will find this option under developer option.

To turn on developer option tap build number 7 times which is under your phone info.

Start your mobile in download mode.

For that switch off your mobile phone and then press home , power and volume down button at the same time.

Then you will get warning message on the screen. Release all button and press volume up to enter into download mode.

Now connect your mobile to computer via usb cable. Rooting process start. If your mobile is rooted then it will appear in odin or any flashing software your are using.

Now open flashing software with admin privilege and continue to flash your custom rom.

In odin click on pda button and give file path of your custom rom and then click on start.

After completion of process you will get pass message on odin.

How did you get the update A910FXXU1AQC2 after rooting your phone? I think phone stops getting updates once phone gets rooted as its no more official and status becomes modified.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] inamie:
This apps will check the latest firmware for your region. If available, download and flash manually. Repeat the whole procesure. Backup & restore your data using TWRP.

hi

I want to manually flash the stock firmware udpate via odin. My A910F was previously rooted, had twrp installed and encryption removed using the op's procedure. How should I proceed without losing all my existing screens, apps and data etc?

Thanks
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] mvdi:
What stock firmware update?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] inamie:
Backup data using TWRP... repeat the whole procedure then restore back your data.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] fanwater:
So I just make a full nandroid backup in TWRP... flash the new rom update by repeating the whole things including format data...and then back to TWRP to restore just the DATA patition. Isit correct? Internal Storage, no need ah? I asked because I had bad experience with TWRP's restore function last time on another phone, it didnt restore everything correctly.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] inamie:
Yup.. better to remove any security including pin or finger print before backup. I got 2 device gold & black.. changing phone just restore data only[emoji14]

Just a heads up.

I reflashed my A9 Pro with the latest firmware A9100ZCU1AQB3, all went well, used the TWRP twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a910_a9100_7217.tar, all went well, flashed gapps, all went well.

The problem was when I wanted to sideload Netflix because I can't download it anymore from Gapps store because I am rooted and I discovered that the phone kept giving me parsing errors.

I've tested 10 apps, 5 versions of netflix from various sources, and other apps that I found... none worked.

I've reflashed and with the stock os I tried to install Netflix and went fine.

So even if the old TWRP works it has a major bug that for me is a real deal breaker. [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] can you help us please?

Thank you !
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
I fail to see how are you associating TWRP with the problem? TWRP isn't even involved when sideloding apps. I'm not sure how the 2 could be connected?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] edit:
Ok, maybe I am doing something wrong...

I flash the latest fw, I wipe, I flash twrp, i quickly enter twrp and install super su, reboot.... then enter twrp and install open_gapps-arm64-6.0-nano-20170607.zip, reboot again and parsing error is there... so I thought it's either twrp or the gapps....

Later edit : Yeah, there definately an issue with gapps

got another pack (open_gapps-arm64-6.0-nano-20170603.zip) same issue after flashing.... parsing errors

So it seems that TWRP is not the issue, I am sorry.

Still... I have an big issue.... because I need to flash it everytime I need to test a new gapps pack... already flashed the phone 9 times....
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] edit:
I figured out what I did wrong... and it only took me 21 phone flashes :)

The story :

I needed to install Netflix from Playstore and realized that I can't anymore due to Netflix policy not to allow the app installation if you are rooted, the boot unlocked or you have a custom rom. So I had to sideload the app. Since all my apps are bought from Playstore and never sideloaded anything I bumped into this problem, I could not sideload Netflix because it gave me parsing errors of the apk. So I tried everything and decided to reflash the new firmware. But each time bumped into the same issue until i figured out. The phone worked perfectly fine for the last 2 months if it weren't for the Netflix problem.

What I did :

1. took out the sim and microsd card

2. flashed A9100ZCU1AQB3 via ODIN - flashed ok

3. let it have it's first boot into the OS

4. entered Samsung recovery (vol up and home button) and wiped the phone - I always want to start fresh

5. let it have it's second boot into the OS - at this point some advised to Enable Developer mode in settings and Enable USB Debugging

6. put it in flash mode and flashed twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a910_a9100_7217.tar and at first restart I was ready (pushed vol up and home button) and enterd TWRP recovery

7. here you NEED to FORMAT data - this is the step that i did not do because I wanted to keep the encryption in place, basically I forgot that even if you format it the OS at this stage at first boot enables it back IF you don't flash "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx"

8. if you don't care about data partition encryption then flash "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx" via TWRP. This will make the data partition mountable in TWRP and your data will be easily accessible at all times, by anyone. This is the route that I took the first time (3 months ago) and I quickly realized that giving up the encryption would make my data vulnerable in case my phone gets stolen because once you boot into TWRP you can mount the partitions and read everything you want from it without any problems so I took the decision to keep the encryption in place so I reflashed and phone, did stepts 1 to 7 and skiped step 8. Now I realize that a "Pro" will get around the encryption without much of a headache but I want to protect myself from the the average Joe that likes to steal stuff and does not have deep knowledge of the android system.

9. installed supersu in TWRP , the reboot button shutdown my phone, restart the phone in TWRP mode because if you let it boot it will rebuild the encryption and "gapps

10 installed gapps, rebooted

11. once I got into the OS I got the "Unfortunately google play store has stopped" and Unfortunately Setup Wizard store has stopped so got into apps, went in app manager, listed the system apps and gave google apps the permissions needed so the errors would go away.

Hope it helps

Hi,

There is new firmware of MM 6.0.1 uploaded on Samsung firmware site for sm-a910f/ds. Can I update to new firmware as I am rooted and twrp installed? Do I need to follow the same steps again for twrp and rooting what i did first time?

No, as far as I know.

You need to follow around the same steps that I described earlier... My tutorial is for the Chinese 9100 model so different then yours but generally the steps to follow are about the same. You need to read some more on your specific model not to brick it.

Guys,

I am having weird issue in my A9 pro, the sounds goes off after sometime, and i have to restart the phone. Anyone else having the same issue? any solution of that? used twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a910_a9100_7217.tar and open_gapps-arm64-6.0-nano-20170221.zip.

If i'm going to use my external SD card to store nandroid backups and flash ZIPs, Do I still need to remove encryption to mount data partition in TWRP?

If not, can I skip that part (flashing dm verity file) and flash TWRP then SuperSu only?

Please give me the correct flashing sequence for this scenario to avoid dumb mistakes. Thank you
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Meruel:
I went ahead and flashed twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a910_a9100_7217.tar then I flashed SuperSu SR3 from SD card and now it's stuck at first samsung boot screen with lockpad and custom written :(

What should I do?? Please help.

EDIT: Fixed! Followed all the steps in OP even those I previously skipped (FORMAT DATA + Flash no verity dm file) and it fixed the stuck at boot screen issue.

Now I can mount system/data partitions in TWRP successfully. And device boots normally.

But root did not work, it fails at "patching sepolicy...aborting". SuperSu app was not installed and root checker showed device is not rooted. (I flashed the SR3 file in OP)

Then I tried with latest SuperSu 2.82 and same thing, "patching sepolicy...aborting". Root failed.

Finally I flashed Supersu 2.79 and it went smoothly and root is working!

Thanks ashyx for making this possible

Hi Ashyx,

The Nougat 7.0.1 upgrade has come for A910F? But will this TWRP and rooting work on Nougat 7.0.1 on this phone? Thanks.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] tiennhu89:
Where did u find Nougat for A910F? Or just a joke?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] skchattha:
Go to sammobile.com firmware page. search for a910f, then a firmware list will show countrywise. On right side there is "S" mentioned. If it's highlited means nougat upgrade is available. I followed the same for my another phone J7 prime and found the nougat upgrade. Since my J7 prime is not rooted so I upgraded it to Nougat officially from phone itself but can't do in A9pro because that's rooted.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] tiennhu89:
That's ur mind. I cant find new firmware for A910F.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] skchattha:
Pls try from a laptop or desktop and use chrome or opera. There comes a column on extreme right side about status of Nougat upgrade available or not for that country. If update is shown available and phone is unrooted official, can be upgraded to nougat straightaway from phone itself. I am not sure if that complete firmware can be downloaded or not for rooted phone.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] SiriNote4:
Official A9pro (SM-910F-ds) android 7.0 is not found on sammobile yet. And OTA update is not available too. As per your suggestion I did check for my country INS. The current software version is showing similar to what I have on my phone but its 6.0.1 and its marked with 'S' in blue!

And my other device J7prime did get update to 7.0 two days back OTA here.

So looks like still we have to wait for unrooted official OTA update!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] tiennhu89:
Oh man. Come on. :D U can download Nougat for J7 Prime because Android 7.0 has come on it. But with A910F, it dont have Nougat for now. u will have to wait. And one more thing, "S" which u see, isnt Nougat. I am not sure what it is but im sure itsnt nougat.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] t-shock:
