Should work on both versions but would you mind trying out a simpler and better method instead? It works fine on my device but I am unsure if it works on other models/variants. This method keeps the system status official and even enables OTA updates.

The guide below encompasses the updated method. Do note that as the guide is still being tested and is not an official method, I am assuming that all necessary drivers are installed correctly on your computer and that you have the knowledge and experience to work through the steps as these prerequisites are not included in this guide.

1) Download SamFirm (https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462), extract and then run the application.

2) After checking the "Auto" and "Binary Nature" box, type in your model (in your case, SM-J500F) and your region (refer to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-J500F if you need help identifying your region) before clicking on "Check Update".

2.1) The application should now be able to detect a firmware saying (for example)

SamFirm v0.3.6.0
Checking firmware for SM-J500F/TGY/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZZH1API2/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZHU1API2
Model: SM-J500F
Version: J500FZHU1API2/J500FZZH1API2/J500FZHU1API2/J500FZHU1API2
OS: Lollipop(Android 5.1.1)
Filename: SM-J500F_1_20161018133014_hz4nve666g_fac.zip.enc4
Size: 1060126192 bytes
LogicValue: 0us57tdgetwzs2jy

3) Before clicking on "Download", ensure that the option "Decrypt automatically" is checked. The "Check CRC32" option is optional.

4) Once the application is done downloading and decrypting the firmware image, extract it.

5) Using Odin, flash BL, AP, CP, CSC and once it reboots and the error pops up, boot the phone back to the Download Mode.

6) Using Odin, flash AP only (untick BL, CP and CSC checkboxes).

The phone should now boot up normally into the system. Do report the results here for further analysis. Thank you!

Thanks mate, i'll try it :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dv6661:
excuse me, i've tried this method but when i boot the phone to the recovery mode, an error message still show (Device does nit have DRK (Device Root Key), contact to SW PL please flash ENG binary then install DRK), any suggestion ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Sorry about that and for wasting your time. In my original thread, I stated that this method does not eradicate the problem completely but simply bypasses it. The guide that I had requested you to try had two differences - sets the system status to official and enables OTA updates. Now that I think of it, this method is only useful for devices that does not have a workable TWRP/CWM recovery yet, or to give people a peace of mind that their system is official and unmodified. Since entering the recovery mode resurfaces this problem , this method is more or less useless as OTA updates are installed in recovery mode. All updates would need to be done manually via Odin/Smart Switch.

You got to admit this method is simpler and easier though! Could I ask does this method work? Did your phone boot up normally? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dv6661:
yes my phone just boot up normally, the only problem is when i entering recovery mode there's a message "dm-verity need to check verification failed drk first"
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] s10gopal:
i fixed it by mount /system and it worked on j500f .
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Are you sure about that? This error only appears when the /efs partition is corrupted.

Can't Flash TWRP, FRP lock :/

Hi, I have the dm-verification failed problem, but I can't flash twrp because of the FRP lock. Any solution? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JaanZZ:
Got to developer settings and tap oem lock on and it should fix your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
Hello.

My phone is a Samsung Note 5. 64gb, SM-N9208 ( Taiwan ).

Many many thanks for this post! I have trawled the net for weeks and weeks to find a solution for this ridiculous dm-verity, DRK missing fiasco. I have managed to fix it thanks to your instructions. I understand that this is a work around, don't mind that one bit! But should anyone have a solution to get rid of the problem permanently, you will be an even bigger hero. Let me know if anyone does. Best Regards. Ian.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ale33_:
there's a problem, a mobile go backup sent the device in bootloop, can't boot, only stock recovery or download mode available and i need to backup sensible data.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Glad that I could help. I suppose you used the TWRP method to recover your device?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Perhaps the system files are corrupted. Try flashing the AP file (not HOME file) in Odin and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Really sorry for the late reply but in case you have not found an answer yet, no it's not possible (even if it is possible it would be considered illegal - duplicate IMEI).
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
Yes, I used TWRP, I Just followed your instructions and did the sideload thing, brilliant ! Many thanks. Ian.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
I would recommend using my second method though, to flash the AP file twice instead of flashing the dm-verity fix in TWRP. This will enable the system to detect updates via OTA (over-the-air) as it sets the system status to "Official".

*Do note that while the phone is able to search for OTA updates, they do not work.* Do not attempt to install updates from there as the error will pop up again, leading to an unbootable device (only way to fix this is to flash the AP file again - factory resets the device OR to flash the dm-verity fix in TWRP)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhaibahmad:
i cant root my s7edge , the latest nougat february patch installed ? am i the only one ? i untick the auto reboot in odin and manually boot into twrp after flashing it but its stucked thereand not booting into it , it is the latest twrp hero2lte 3.1.0.

i cant even flash rom on odin or through smart switch , it fails in the modem part . when i flash without the modem then flash successfully but after flash reboot and for a minute NO COMMAND screen appears , after a minute goes into recovery and saying DM VERIFICATION FAILURE .after this when i flash the csc again , the no command prompt disappear telling NO SINGLE SKU SUPPORT and dm-verity error...., then when i reboot it , the phone boots normally but keeps on crashing the applications and force closed and sometimes reboot.

The imei is normal and signals of sim works fine. On PHONE INFO application it shows that the csc is missing . The hidden codes are not working like *#0*# , *#06# etc etc .

plz someone tell me whats the issue is ? is it a hardware or software ? will jtag resolve the issue ? i dont even know about wat is jtag , i have just heard about it . Long time passed the device price decreased in the market about 200 dollars and no solution , kept in the cupboard. I hope i can get info atleast ,i have many posts here but nobody responses . maybe i am the only one who is facing this issue .

dm-verify bypass don't work on Android 7

Hi.

I've just tried to flash via ADB sideload, the dm-verity bypass fix after updating my Galaxy Note 5, but the process gets stuck on 53%, even after a long wait it gets no further, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Try pushing the file to your phone and installing from there instead.

adb push (file directory) /sdcard/

e.g. adb push C:\Users\user\Downloads\dm-verity bypass.zip /sdcard/
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
Hi, thanks for the quick response. After the Nougat update, and when the phone has rebooted, I can not get past the blue screen with the dead yellow Android Bot that says "need to check DRK first" so I would not be able to get to the "fix dm-verity" file on my phone to try and install it from there.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
After the Nougat update has completed, install TWRP/CWM (the same procedure as you did before) but just that you transfer the file using the adb push command and install from there instead.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
still wont work.

Hi.

Ok I've tried that but everything still stops at "creating paths" ( 53% of the procedure ), so I've gone back to Marshmallow until there is a solution. Many Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
Does the dm-verity issue only happen on Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
Hi. dm-verity happens on both. After loading Marshmallow or Nougat, Odin installs the system onto the phone, gets to 32% then stops with the "dead Android Bot graphic and the words "device does not have DRK,, install DRK first".
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
So my fix above fixes it on Marshmallow but not on Nougat, right?

Could you try attempting the second method (firstly flashing BL, AP, CP and CSC and then flashing AP only after that)?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
Hi.

Whenever I have used Odin I only use AP to load the software. How do I do it using your method ? as there is only one file.

Do you have the "idiots guide" please?

Many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rizzed:
What region of the firmware are you using? I can get it for you.

Well I downloaded all of the files, followed your instructions, but it's the same outcome. Phone does not have DRK. I tried several times, backed up and completely wiped the phone, loaded all of your files from Google, after boot I reloaded AP again but same problem. it's taken a whole day to restore the app settings on the phone, I think I've had enough, I give up!

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] witty2309:
I don't know if there is a technical way to recover your data. Have you ever backed up all the data on your phone to SmartSwitch? Or if Apple, iTunes? If you have then your data is not lost. If you have not you could try...... holding down volume up, home button and power all together. Then wipe your cache and dalvic cache ( nothing else!!! ). Reboot.

I got my XL a few days ago and in that time, the default live data wallpaper has yet change from a pink tint. I've turned on all permissions for the launcher, just in case, but nothing fixes it. In the preview for setting the wallpaper, the gradient changes, but when it's set, it always the way it was when I set the phone up.

Anybody had this problem?

Hi forum members. I reinstalled my ROM yesterday and my PDA was working well. This morning, I got up to realise that I could not use the tap screen. I performed a hard reset and presently, I'm stocked on the screen alignment section. The target will respond if I tapped elsewhere on the screen, but when I hit on the real target point, it doesn't respond-no matter how firmly I press. Please, I need some advice on what to do.

Sincerely,

I have not been able to access my Zenfone 3 Deluxe after getting "System UI has stopped" message on boot - probably due to an app update that took place yesteday.

Before I reset my phone I want to retrieve photos I took over the past week, but when I plug the phone to my computer, it can't read the internal storage and because I don't have access to the interface, I cannot change the setting from USB Charge mode to MTP mode.

How do I access the internal storage at this point?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] firepong:
Boot the phone up into safe mode and you should be able to fix the issue without having to do a factory reset. Just power off the phone and power it back on. When the Asus logo pops up, hold both Volume Down and Volume Up at the same time until the phone is booted. That should get you in as it loads nothing on boot except for the bar essentials for the phone to run.

Hi guys

I have just purchased a new LG g4 h815.

I am loving the speed, the looks and everything but I have an issue regarding battery life. I am getting a screen on time of around 2.5 hrs with moderate to heavy use, is it normal for LG g4 though to don't play any games or stuff . Previously I had used a Samsung Note 4 it had an amazing battery life, screen on time was around 3.5 to 4 hrs with moderate to heavy use.

Any suggestions to improve battery life I have turned off location services, auto sync and Bluetooth, screen brightness is @40 % but WIFI is turned on constantly

I have surfed a lots of sites and forums most of them are complaining about the battery life of this phone but still most of them are getting around 3 to 3.5 hrs of screen on time.

I have basically given up on this phone. Never get any updates (in Norway) and battery is very poor. The worst phone I ever had comparing battery. You should not have to turn off everything and tweak the phone and ask in forums to get good battery time. My father have a samsung brand and don't know **** about android or phones and have he's phone full of crap and never optimized it for anything and he STILL have great battery... Much better than mine. Weird right?

A thing I think, is that this phone struggle with WiFi. I have a lot of wifi disconnects and it gets very hot when it struggles with wifi. Sometimes when im at home I can have 60% left battery and not use it for a while and then suddenly have 40%...
