Those in need..

I've got every single file you'd ever need for flashing, recovery, stock boot/system/recovery .imgs, twrp backups, etc.. I've also successfully installed busybox into the System on a systemless device, achieved Adoptable Storage, & successfully reversed the FRP Lock (Google Acct Verification) that occurs when you factory reset (wipe) the phone without going into Settings & resetting the proper way.

If you need any of these files, folders, drivers, help, etc.. please feel free to email me: koloradokiller848@gmail . com

I WILL NOT HOLD YOUR HAND LIKE A CHILD & GIVE YOU ALL THE ANSWERS.

Show me you actually want to learn this ****, instead of wanting to be told & then be done with it

links dont work...

hi, im new to this and im trying to root my samsung on5 without loosing everything. the phone was bought for my 15 year old daughter and i want to root the phone without her knowing i did so. so not loosing everything is key.

can you help.

also your links dont work anymore... what do i need to do?

thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] A.Thomas:
You've Got To Start Somewhere Right?

Message me for links to the most updated versions of the files you will need in order to achieve root On5. This is the simplest way that I know of. I hope this helps. There is a Custom ROM included in the list. You can also flash that to achieve root, though there MAY be other required files for that method, but there's the files anyway ;)

Best Method: Install the Samsung Mobile Device Drivers, Enable the "OEM Unlock" option in "Developer Settings" (Google It), Flash TWRP Recovery to your device using Odin, then flash SuperSU zip files inside TWRP Recovery (Be sure you back things up before you flash). Reboot System. You are now rooted.

Adoptable Storage

FORMAT YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD 3 TIMES TO ENSURE A FULL & COMPLETE WIPE

• Download the plugin .zip file from my Drive:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BpyLgU2mXlSmRzYWpNeUR3N2M/view?usp=drivesdk

• Copy/move the zip to the root of your Internal Storage

• Connect phone to PC, open an ADB Command Windown, & input these commands:

☆ adb devices

☆ adb shell

☆ sm has-adoptable

**Since Samsung did away with Adoptable Storage, inputting sm has-adoptable will reply back with false**

• To fix this, you'll need to flash the plugin.zip in Recovery

• Flash the plugin.zip but do

NOT

clear the cache

• Reboot the phone

• In the ADB Command Window [again], input:

☆ adb devices

☆ adb shell

☆ su (for root access)

☆ sm has-adoptable (will now register True)

☆ sm list-disks

☆ sm partition disk:# private

• Adorable Storage is now incorporated. Shut the device off, then remove the sd card & reinsert it

• Reboot phone & follow instructions in notification bar to finalize the process

Hey guys,

I've rooted my SM-S550TL using this guide (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/sm-s550tl-root-instructions-t3555352) and it worked like a charm. Got it successfully rooted and everything. Sadly though, I was not able to get the Portuguese Language to work on this ROM so I'm trying to flash the SM-S550FY ROM (from India) which hopefully contains the Portuguese Language. The problem is, every time I try to flash something using Odin, either using this guide TWRP .tar or the custom ROM from SamMobile (the SM-S550FY), Odin just stops working saying it couldn't write after like 2 seconds.

Can someone help, please?

Here's the error:

Is this for the Tmobile version? Sm-G550T
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
Yes. It's the only 100% [current] way to obtain A.S. successfully without throwing yourself into a boot-loop. G550T & G550T1 are practically identical so if it works on one device, it'll work on the other.

How do I know? Simple. I've flashed the Metro PCS stock firmware into the T Mobile variant, literally converting the entire phone to a different carrier. If that works, anything will.

Root access, you'll just need: ADB or Odin, the twrp .img (v3.0.2) for the On5, & SuperSU_v2.76.zip. There isn't a twrp .img for the Metro variant, but the T mobile file will work no problem. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

I've got backups if you do make a mistake. Email me @ koloradokiller848@gmail . com for files you may want.

Before you flash the SuperSU .zip, it'd be wise to make a backup of your boot & system partitions through TWRP. After flashing the twrp recovery .img, you're not rooted so the boot & system are still considered stock.

This is not a traditional rom. You will need a data backup of just getting passed the setup wizard saved to your SD card. Extract the zip and save to your twrp backup folder on your SD card. Hit restore select the custom ROM it should be system and boot. Then wile dalvik/cache and data then restore your previously backed up data and reboot.

The framework is already included. All you need to do is install the APK do you can manage modules.

Download the latest version.

It does say on this screen to basically be weary of using closed framework and modules because it may end up causing problems. However point is the DEV already put it into Superstarz.

---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 AM ----------

Whoops. I wouldn't try loading this into a stock rom yourself due to warnings the app says about bootloops. If you want XPOSED I would recommend installing Superstarz since its included.

[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sn33zy82:
As I said do not attempt to flash this yourself into your phone as most of the time with Touchwiz stock it will cause that problem.

Download and flash Superstarz and then just download the APK to manage the modules. Don't update/install framework because Superstarz already had it included. Doing so would most likely cause a bootloop as well.

According to this post, you can use this thread to for information on TWRP on that model number you gave me. (I didn't realize the others out there).

https://xdaforums.com/general/general/kernel-twrp-sm-g550fy-stock-permissive-t3359198

So download those files and follow instructions. I can't test this being I don't have that model but I can show you the flashing process in a video for this model number.

This is like one of my first youtube videos as moreso a test, but heres a general idea for the G5500 or G550FY phones for TWRP and ROOT. However if you DO have these phones, DO NOT FLASH SUPERSTARZ TO YOUR PHONE AS ITS DESIGNED FOR METRO-PCS/T-MOBILE AND COULD WRECK YOUR PHONE!!

Low Volume Across the Board - SM-G550T/6.0.1

Forgive the noob question; I know this is a custom ROM thread, but it seemed to be the only place where people who know anything about the nuts & bolts of this phone congregate in any number.

I'm finding volume levels on this phone quite low for speakerphone, heapdphones and bluetooth both mono and stereo, and all optimized for voice with very tinny sound in general. Any changes I try to make in any EQ settings to make music sound halfway decent (and honestly, even to make call volume loud enough to hear over road noise) result in actually lowering end volume rather than increasing it, and from what I've seen this is due to deliberate limiting by the OS itself, and changing it requires root.

I've tried several "Volume Boost" type apps, and a few different media players with their own EQ to no avail; is there maybe one out there that I missed which actually works on this build, or am I going to have to get my feet wet and nuke this phone with a custom ROM?

Thanks for your patience with a noob question,

You're talking about a network lock, a rom won't fix that. Many people call their carrier and ask for an unlock when they plan on using a prepaid service in another country. It's usually cheaper to pop in a prepaid sim while you're visiting. ;) You can call metropcs and ask them to unlock it for you, they should give you a pin.

Try using smart switch to flash oem rom over to your phone. If smartswitch doesnt recognize it and you have the sm-g550t1, then manually type in the model number and look around online for the serial number of your phone and it should start downloading the rom to flash it over.
