The default launcher is not broken, for some reason setup does not complete the first time after the first reboot. This has always been a known issue. However I cannot fix it as I no longer have this phone. That said, if you wait on the FC popup for 10 minutes and reboot, it works about 70-80% of the time. Once the launcher is up, there error will stay away. That said this phone is no longer supported, but I am so glad to see people are still using this hacked up system image :) It took a lot of work to debloat almost the whole thing lol

[*] Some users are reporting that you need to also restore DATA only from a stock ROM backup.

If they are referring to the fact that their home screen does not launch or UI is not working... That happened to me and all I did was swipe into my notifications, select the update apps notification and install Nova Launcher. Voila no need to restore data backup.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Reneg@de:
Ik it's a 3 year post, hope you're still here. It restored fine but after the Android startup the screen goes black and a pop-up showing "system UI has stopped" appeared. The lock screen is fully functional as is the notification bar but the UI itself is just black. Can you explain how to do step 12 plz? The reason why I want a rom is because I accidentally deleted my os with twrp (who does that right?). So I have no stock rom backup or nth. I don't have any access to a PC rn either. If you're there we what you can do.

Luckily for you, I saved my TWRP backups & stock firmware for this device on my laptop a few years ago when I had it. You'll have to use TWRP if you have no PC access & cant boot into your phone fully. You'll [also] have to rename the Device ID folder in your TWRP Backup path as well so that it matches your personal ID, otherwise TWRP wont be able to find the location.

[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DBJoseph:
~4GB of the phone is for system data. So it leaves you with around 3.8GB for personal stuff. You can use apps like Link2SD to move apps to your SD card if you're rooted, and you should probably keep your pictures/videos on an sd card as well.

Can anyone tell me what to do next. I successfully rooted my on5 with the instructions on first post. When I tried installing the debloated rom it just hangs on metropcs screen. At first I had no problem using recovery on twrp to install my backup but now when I turn it on it only goes to samsung logo with a small red almst unreadable error msg that said:

custom binary block by FRP(?) lock.

I cant even go to twrp screen using the volume up It has same msg. But I can still go to download screen.

Anyone tell me if I can just use odin to install that tar file again to get it going? Just want to make sure I don't make a mess on the mess that I already did.

Why is that debloated rom not installing right on my phone anyway?

Thanks!

HI what do you mean you "had to make a nandroid of my data and restore that too"

How do you do it? And do you mean you flash your back up data after you flash the G550T1_PF1_Recovery files?

Maybe that will solve google verify.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
I made a backup before using this modified backup. When I restored, it had bootloop at the "metro pcs" screen.

I then booted back into recovery, wiped the delvic and went to my backup and this only left data checked to be restored.

You can backup just the data (or just boot or recovery etc).

TWRP recovery is a pretty powerful tool. It is helpful to fully understand what it does and how it works. [emoji6]

Your problem is that you relocked the phone after installing a custom recovery.

Can you Odin anything at all, or does it all fail. If you could somehow do a factory reset you might be able to get into the settings and turn it on.

Did it do like mine? When I flashed this, it booted fine the first time and I set it up and all that. Then I rebooted and that's when the bootloop occurred.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] asianrocker:
I flash the firmware in odin. It solved the frp lock logo screen. Now I am in google verify lock. When I try to install twrp again, it fails now coz it is frp lock. I need to by pass the google verify lock.

I want to ask. What does checking f.reset time do when you flash in odin? I am not sure but do you think that is the one that triggers the google verify lock. Because after I flash firmware successfully in odin. It has a message that it detects that the phone was reset. And so it went to google verify lock.

What if I flash the firmware again and not check the f.reset time? Is it gonna work at all?

In one of google verify lock methods I try. The one that kinda work for me is going online in google privacy. But when I try copy a word there it says the share function lock. Even the web search is lock. They lock EVERYTHING!

I was able to somehow click links in the google policy and was able to go to google sign in. I think that will solve my google sign in lock but nooooooo. because if I try to type a word the keyboard won't pop out. This is so frustrating.

You have some other type of problem.

If you know your email and pasword you can make it work.

These people might have a bug here and there, but that security works.

You know the password, you can unlock the device. If its truly messed up then call google.

They will have a live representative on the phone with you in 10 min or less.

[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomuser777:
I'm having an odd problem. I extracted the Debloated ROM into SM-G550T1/Card/TWRP/BACKUPS/4200ba09b48530b which is also where my backup of my rooted ROM is. When I go to the restore tab on TWRP, I click on the Debloated ROM to have it restore it and it seems to be working installing it, but when I finally hit reboot, I am booted back into my old ROM (with all my apps, all the bloatware, etc. remaining). Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Any more information needed? On the bright side, I am not bricked yet.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] N3TiK:
*Do at your own risk...* Sounds like you're attempting a dirty install. Have you tried wiping your system and data partitions before you flash the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomuser777:
I am completely new at this, so I have no idea if "dirty install" is the right term for what I'm doing. The OP of this thread posted a custom ROM and noted that you needed to extract the ROM and put it into the TWRP backup folder. I, too my knowledge, did this and then tried to use TWRP's restore function for the custom ROM. When that didn't work I tried to see if either of the nandroid backups I had made using TWRP worked and both succeeded fine (I had made one just after root and one after I edited it a bit), so I am now thinking something is wrong with my download of the custom ROM, but when I tried to redownload it and restore it, I got the exact same result.

I have not yet tried to wipe the whole system yet. Two questions. 1) Would I do that from TWRP? 2) Would I be able to fully restore my system using the nandroid backups I made using TWRP. (For that matter, is there another better way to do backups than TWRP?)

So, I used TWRP to wipe the data for my phone (deleting cache and data), then I tried to use restore to install the custom ROM that was posted here. My phone was reset, but it ended up getting stuck at the boot screen (it just showed the MetroPCS logo for around twenty minutes). I'm legit confused where I went wrong with this ROM. I have it extracted in the back up folder and TWRP's restore function seems to work for the other nandroid back up I have.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Seems to me that this debloated version causes bootloops for a lot of people, myself included. It saves a nice amount of space when you use it. What I ddid was I got my phone set up like Unlike it with everything except mods I have to flaw in such as xposed. Then you made a backup in twrp, then, I restored the modified a stock boot and system, then when that was done, without leavingvtwrp I restored just the data partition from my backup that I had just made. Worked like a champ and saved me a lot of space.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

And I didn't see, did you renamev the .qmg files samsungboot.qmg and samsungloop.qmg? I'm sure you did but I gotta ask.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomuser777:
First, please ask me any question. I am a complete noob at this and have no clue what I'm doing. I don't know what the files you want me to rename are. The debloated ROM I have, once extracted, has the following files: boot.emmc.win, boot.emmc.win.md5, recovery.log, system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win000.md5, system.ext4.win001.md, system.ex4.win001, system.info.

I am assuming I won't find the .qmp files in the debloated ROM. Where would I find them?

Second, I tried a method you mentioned early up thread. I wiped the ART cache, data, cache, internal storage, and system partitions using the advanced wipe feature of TWRP. Then I restored the Debloated ROM's Boot and System partition. Then while still in TWRP I restored the Data partition of my nandroid backup. Then I boated back into the system from TWRP. It would load the Samgsun and MetroPCS logo during boot. It would then boot normally. But, I'm not sure if what I have is debloated. I still have a lot of weird MetroPCS and Samsung apps (such as Email, Internet, etc.). Are those supposed to be there? I'm currently at 6.16 GB of internal storage, with the phone saying that 4.12 GB is from system memory, while the remaining 1.64 GB is from apps. Is that normal?

Installing the debloated rom

Hello, just want to say thank you for the work you have done with this phone thus far. I was hoping I could some help with an issue I am having. So I've gone as far as recovering the Rom you have created. After rebooting and going through the initial startup steps I end up with a black home screen. My home button does not return me to this screen, I can still pull down the bar allowing me to see what apps are being restored and whatnot. After rebooting the phone from here, hoping it would clear up whatever went wrong, the phone will not pass the Metro PCS T-Mobile Network splash screen.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

I have since restored my phone back to just being rooted before trying to install this rom.
