[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello, I hope I'm posting to the right forum, because I haven't been able to root my phone (Samsung Galaxy A5 2016) no matter what I tried.

The classic procedure is that you go to cf-auto-root and download the version for your phone (mine is SM-A510F). I donwloaded that, which also includes Odin 3.10.6. files.

So then I turn off my phone, set it to the download mode by holding the volume down button, home button and power button at the same time.

Then I press the volume up button to continue to the download mode. Once I'm there, I plug the phone to the PC and open Odin. In Odin, I then see "Added" and I can also see the blue line indicating that I've got all the necessary Samsung drivers already installed (I even re-installed them a bunch of times, just to make sure that it's not the cause of the problem).

Then I click on AP in Odin and add the cf-auto-root file with the ".tar.md5" extension. Then I let everything load and initialize and I click on "Start".

That process takes a while and I can also see the loading bar working on the phone itself. Then the phone restarts and I can see "PASS" in the Odin. However, the phone itself never goes to the recovery mode to enable some of the superuser features, but it straight goes to the Samsung logo screen, where I can see on the top left corner: "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." Also, I'm sure that I've got the latest firmware with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. update and also have all the developer options enabled on the phone, like USB debugging and OEM Unlock.

I tried almost every possible tutorial on google and youtube, but I just can't seem to be able to root it properly, even though I'm taking the right steps.

I would really appreciate if you guys, who are experienced with rooting, could help me with this :) Thank you so much, and Happy New Year 2017!

Slickwraps had a sale some days ago for %50 off everything. I made the order and paid through PayPal. I get an email the next day or two that my order was canceled... with no reason. I emailed them to inquire and the response was... Their system flagged the transaction as fraud. I'm a bit skeptical about this as I used PayPal and am verified. No issues in the past. I suspect they didn't want to honor the %50 off deal. I asked them if I could reorder and still get 50 off. No response yet. I don't think I'll attempt to buy a thing from them again. Anyone here had similar experience?
[LG V20 Accessories] pieces of cake:
Blame the FDA.
[LG V20 Accessories] stanglifemike:
*EDIT - If you read the post I just deleted, ignore it. I was thinking about dbrand, so it was irrelevant. I did just checked slickwraps, though, and today is the last day for 50% off.
[LG V20 Accessories] tripey:
Oddly enough, dbrand is processing my order right now. I checked with PayPal and they didn't see any issue with my transaction with slickwraps. I went with slickwraps originally because of the supposed awesome customer service and quick turn around time. I'm done with them. They basically gave me some BS answer and didn't follow up or tried to make it right. Not asking for anything free, but at least offer to resubmit the order after I checked with PayPal about the transaction. They just straight up ignored me.
[LG V20 Accessories] stanglifemike:
[MENTION=5670692]tripey[/MENTION] That's crazy about slickwraps, but you'll be happy with your dbrand skin. I've had both brands before and always pleased with both, just decided to go with dbrand on my v20. I haven't seen slickwraps on a v20 in person, so I can't really say which is better. I can't imagine slickwraps being any better, though, because the fitment of my dbrand skin is great. The quality looks and feels excellent, like usual, each of my previous dbrand skins always held up nicely. Which color combo did you order?
[LG V20 Accessories] EmptySD:
Oh definitely never order from Slickwrapps. I tried once and im not sure that i will waste my time with them anymore. I ordered, filled up all information as it's mentioned on website, waited 35 days and no response from them. After i contacted them i got information that for Dubai i need to write 0000 postal code, otherwise it will not be delivered.

I checked what i filled up and it's mentioned that if country dont have postal code, you're supposed to write N/A, as i wrote. After that i had option to pay again for delivery and wait again 30-40 days for delivery or pay some express delivery which is around 30$ and delivery time will again take 15 day. I just refused to loose more time with them since i had chance to see that there's also possibility to not deliver it again.
[LG V20 Accessories] tripey:
Yeah they finally replied and said I can reorder if I want. The 50 percent discount is still going on. I dont really care anymore. Dbrand has already shipped my order. Screw slickwraps.
[LG V20 Accessories] EmptySD:
I heard only for them since they was many times here on XDA but thanks, i will check for with Dbrand. Can you post some images? I would like to see how does it fit.
[LG V20 Accessories] AZ9006:
happen to me as well, i guess they didnt want to offer the 50% off their products for the natural series on slickwraps. so i got dbrand instead. problem solved.
[LG V20 Accessories] nickthaskater:
I had a good experience with Slickwraps. My order was promptly shipped, but the post service was slow to deliver. I sent an email to Slickwraps noting the delay and they express shipped another skin without any fuss. My original order ended up coming later on.

That said, I don't use any skin anymore as the phone feels way too nice without one.

I have a Proscan PLT1065G and it's running Lollipop. Needless to say, it runs like pure garbage. It only has 512MB RAM and installing apps takes literally 5 minutes or more. It's very painful to do anything. Even after uninstalling all non-essential applications. I've tried the manufacturer but no dice. I've tried other RK3126 images but it fails to image. I'm not sure what to do.

High everyone.

I am running a custom rom on my I9300 and also a custom kernel (Boefla). I would like to revert back to the stock kernel but keep the custom rom. How do I do this? I am also fine with keeping the custom rom and getting only the stock kernel or unrooting my device by going back to both the stock rom and kernel. Do you know where I can download the stock roms?

Thank for your advice!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Unless the custom ROM is based off a stock Samsung ROM, a stock Samsung kernel will probably not work with the ROM.

You can flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
You can flash the stock kernel via mobile odin BUT only if the rom is stock based. Otherwise you'll "doorstop" it. If the rom is not stock based then I highly recommend that you have a backup of a stock rom ready to flash.

Mk6 (btu) stock kernel: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vTiHTBB629ajRJaWx5QlVFSWs/view?usp=drivesdk

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eL_MeXiCaNo:
Hello,

Happy New Year!

I have an LG V20 (H918), bootloader unlocked, rooted, with a modified stock rom by Tilde88 based on Android 7.0.

I want to add and/or enable a menu/configuration button to the Nougat NavBar that previous android versions used to have.

Ever since I had an android phone I've had a button which would make the menu/configuration options appear of every app. For example: I just switched to the LG V20 from an LG G4, the G4 had the navbar where if you long-pressed the square button on the right side it would make the menu/configuration options appear in the app you are currently on. But now in Nougat that same square button brings up Multi-window instead of the menu/configuration options.

Is there any way to add a button to the NavBar that would bring up the menu/configuration options? or substitute multi-window for the menu/configuration option?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I contacted DBrand and asked if they would start carrying skins for this phone and received this as a response:

"Thanks for reaching out. We’re still on the fence about supporting the Zenfone 3. We haven’t gotten enough requests to begin prototyping and production immediately, but we’ve received enough to still have it on the table as an option."

So if you are like me and want a nice vinyl skin for your phone, be sure contact them and ask them to support the ZS570KL.

As far as my memory serves me right you may use "UnLock_Device_App_V7" only, not "...V8". Please respect that is only suitable for Andriod4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich & Jelly Bean OS version. Take care that the device is registered at the ASUS server. Log out your Goggle account.

Recently when i restored my data using TWRP i faced a problem at lock screen.

I was not able to unlock my phone with the pin i set Earlier..So after so many attempts i was able to find a solution for that problem.(works with pattern,pin etc)

Requirements

-----------------

1. A phone That cant be unlocked witha your Pin/Pattern :p

2.Any custom recovery installed(TWRP i will say)..Get TWRP from https://twrp.me/Devices/

Steps

-------

1.Once You installed twrp boot into recovery mode.

2.Go to advanced>filemanager to acces the files in your phone.

3.Ggo to the /data/system folder. Scroll down and find the two files with the .key extension. Delete both of them (by tapping on the file and then tapping the �Delete� button). Then, delete all the files containing the word locksettings.

password.key

pattern.key

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal

Once you�ve deleted all the key and locksettings files, reboot your system. If it asks you to install SuperSU, choose �Do Not Install�.

Once Android starts, your lock screen should appear, with no PIN or password prompt. Unlock your phone (yay!) :highfive: :fingers-crossed: and head to Android�s Settings. Scroll down and go to Security > Screen Lock. From there, you can choose a new PIN or password to lock your phone.

Hope this helped you..Hot Thanks if this was helpful :)
