[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRADEEPHONDA:
In your first post you have stated that you are not able to flash custom rom but now you are telling me that your phone is stuck even when Flashed with stock rom....!

I'm confused about what's happening here because the methods you have stated will not work in any case scenario as base ROM is required to flash - root to system or any mods so without rom you can't root any phone by flashing supersu first before even flashing rom that's the logical here.

There is no my method or your method but there is a universal step by step method which you clearly need to understand.

But anyways I can't help you anymore as I have no video to assess your process.

As a last resolution I will suggest one more method, if you can boot your phone to stock recovery then you can reset your device by factory reset which will again wipe everything within the phone so proceed with caution(just mentioning) so once you wipe your phone through stock recovery. Let me know. It has to boot in my opinion.

Before you do this try to reflash official & latest firmware which will be the January security updates through Odin with default settings.

After you get Odin pass message, it will automatically reboot so wait for 30 minutes max. If nothing happens press & hold volume down & power key to reboot device & as soon as the screen goes off to reboot, you will have to enter to recovery mode by holding on to volume up, power & home key as you already will know (just mentioned) then wipe to factory reset. Reboot.

Let me know if this works.

If not I'm located in Bangalore so if you are from Bangalore then I might help you. Again no fees or charges (just mentioned)

Or

Try this rom:

Or take it Samsung official Store to find out if your device has any issues with power chips or so..!

Hi Bro,

Maybe you misunderstand what i mean. Ofcouse i can back to stock firmware without any problem. I said it still suck is when i try to flash TWRP, even root or Custom ROMs.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRADEEPHONDA:
OK you have to state what version twrp you are flashing?

Now if it's just recovery then I would say to try TWRP 3.1.1.0 which is most stable version in my view.

Note: Re-download all Twrp tar, Supersu & no verity zip.

First flash twrp & then let the device boot to home screen.

Second reboot to recovery by hard keys.

If you see stock recovery go back to download mode flash twrp & go back to recovery without booting as you are doing but this time just swipe to allow modifications & reboot to recovery again.

Without flashing anything just reboot from recovery to system.

Thirdly if you device reboots to home screen then again get back to twrp recovery & now flash supersu & no verity zip & restart device. You should be able to solve this.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomnguyen:
Thank, i'm using TWRP 3.2.1.0 currently, i will try TWRP 3.1.1.0 as your guide. So, i will try as following step:

1. Flash TWRP 3.1.1.0 and let it boot to Home Screen

2. If ok then go to Recovery -> flash upersu & no verity zip & restart device

2.1 If still in stock then flash twrp again -> go to recovery -> allow modification -> reboot to recovery -> reboot to system

2.2 If cannot boot to Home Screen after First Step then flash twrp again -> go to recovery -> allow modification -> reboot to recovery -> reboot to system

Are those correct ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRADEEPHONDA:
Yes
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomnguyen:
Hi bro,

after try few time, the result is:

1. After flash TWRP and boot to home Scree, it's stuck at Samsung Logo, so i took the 2.2 step

2.2. Re-flash TWRP -> recovery -> allow modification -> reboot recovery -> reboot system. Then my device loop in bootloop

After all i have to back to stock and consider to give up rooting my phone :(. But one thing that always in my mind, why my Note 5 can boot normally with lineageos after flash with TWRP. Does this os different from other custom ROM that can boot in my Note 5.

Anw, thank you so much for your assist.

Hi there it's not that difficult i've faced the same issue with my n920c

Solution: Install the TWRP recovery just like normal but when the device is rebooting and black screen shows up Press and Hold [Power+home+vol down] until you see TWRP screen

Please Note: this is really important to press and hold while rebooting ...

After this you can normally reboot to recovery there would be no problem

Good luck !

Is your box 2/16gb or 3/32gb, you may be flashing the wrong TWRP.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
32Gb box and i take the twrp from your thread.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Try this TWRP here

It's a earlier version, but I ported this one myself. It's the one I used until I found a newer version.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
Same result, hang on t95Zplus logo and doesn't move....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
And you definitely have a 3/32gb box, I don't know what could be the problem. I had the exact same problem, but it was because I was using the 2/16 version on my 3/32 box. You don't have any usb sticks plugged into the box either? if you do try pulling them out when flashing.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
yes i have, i will try whitout sd card and usb stick and make a feedback

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

same result :(

can i brick my box if i flash it with the 16Gb model ? because maybe i can try with no risk ( the recovery doesn't start anyway )
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Worst case is it should only do the same thing, I was pushing the 16gb model on my box a fair few times and all it did hang at the T95Z Plus logo.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
When i try to send twrp 16gb version to my box i have an error message failed to send file ( i use the amlogic adb tool by Ricky Divjakovski )...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
By personal experience your best bet is to re flash the original rom with the usb flashing tool.

Once it is done you can try flashing different TWRP until you find one that work. Installing TWRP from the store just does not work on those device.

Installing SU also soft brick your device and normal recovery do not work.

Also to flash using to USB burning tool make sure you use the OTG USB port on your device (usually port no, 1).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
I got play store to work on my original rom from the launcher after disabling it in the app settings, and replacing system/app/GoogleStore folder by the one from SuperCeleron 3/32g custom rom ans installing it from the apk. Might be worth a look to get it working on your rom.

Funny thing is that I tried to install SuperCeleron Rom on my machine but it brick it every time.

Also on initial setup after you have an option to give root acces or not and also to enables init.d support, I just can't remember where it was in the Droid settings on the launcher or the most advance settings in the apps folder. I will have to go thru all the settings to find them.

I tried your ROM but it disabled my Play Store in the launcher and in the apps and did not let me reinstall it for some reason. I had to go thru TotalCommander to be able to launch it. Since I did not want to fool around to restore it. I just flashed back my Rom.

I can live with the way my device perform right now has the most important part for me was Kodi.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Semper 5:
Stuck at logo as well

I got everything to go just fine: ADB went smooth, TWRP running just fine, successful flash from microSD card, wiped cache, rebooted and waited 15 minutes and I'm just stuck at the logo

I even pulled AC and ejected the card and then plugged it in let it sit for 20 minutes and nothing but the logo still.

I'm 101% sure I'm have a 3G+32Gb T95z Plus (AP6225 WLAN) :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
I want just have the best experience with this box, the box ,at this time and with this rom works, but i feel the works doesn't finish and i think we have a huge possibility with a finalised and optimised rom.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Hi. sorry for the dumb question but do you wipe to the factory data too or only wipe cache ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Semper 5:
I tried just the cache at first, but I tried both. and now, since I updated 7.1.1 > 7.1.2 I can't get TWRP to boot. I think the 7.1.2 doesn't like the TWRP I was using.

PS, the link for TWRP in this thread is nonexistent.

It would be AMAZING if we could get this custom ROM in an IMG file to use in the Amlogic burner application.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
Take a look here maybe you will find what you need.

https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...95z-plus-one-thread-files-recoveries-t3737040

I used the custom recovery for the 3/32Gb variant and it worked perfect, now I have a working TWRP.;)

Me to I would like to have a few thing added or fixed in the launcher, but those guys just started to work on this a few days ago, so let give them time to make it better. I screw up my box enough in the last week so let be patient.:cool:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
TWRP link updated, not sure why it unlinked but anyway should be good to download again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
That link in the other thread links to my mega folder, can I ask which custom recovery you used the 3.1.1-0 or the 3.0.2, both should work, but just curious. Also so you did manage to flash my custom zip successfully and it did boot up? Not sure why people are having problems.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Semper 5:
Beauty, worked like a charm. And thank you very much whiteak for reviving your link.

And everything flashed over great, annnnnnd this time big success. custom ROM is up and running.

so I think a few things to mention. People should make sure they're on the stock 7.1.2. and should be using the right TWRP. everything else should be smooth :)

Thanks again guys
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Good to hear, let me know what you think, still in early stages of development, but a good starting point.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Thanks for that, I've managed to get Google Store to launch through the custom launcher and it is back in apps again, just got to see if I can incorporate the fix into the custom rom zip now. If not it's a pretty quick fix , all I did was what you already did, copied the folder GoogleStore folder from SuperCeleron Rom to system/app. I then disabled the "Google Play Store" through Settings/Apps, then I went back to system/app/GoogleStore folder and installed the GoogleStore.apk, installed fine. Tried opening from launcher shortcut, would try to open but would get an error. I then went and cleared the data from Settings/Apps/Play Store (Not Google Play Store, the one down further) Tried launcher shortcut again, same error, so then I went back to Settings/Apps and re-enabled the "Google Play Store" I disabled earlier. Clicked on "Google Store" shortcut on Launcher again, and it opened up, checked version and it has opened up the "Google Play Store" (Latest version I included in Custom Rom) and not the "GoogleStore". Not sure why or how, but it is the desired result we're looking for. Now just to get it working in a Zip.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Fixed the Google Store shortcut not working on Custom Launcher, tested, will update the zip.

***Update*** Custom Rom with the Google Store Shortcut bug fixed download link updated.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
I used the 3.1.1-0 variant has I figured that it must be the latest version of TWRP and worked very well.

Yes your custom zip worked and the box booted fine, but I had that problem with PlayStore not showing up in the apps menu (Was driving me crazy), and I was not able to reinstall the original Sunvell modified Playstore, every time it was giving me an error that it could not install, even the one from SuperCeleron did not work.

So I decided to revert to my original ROM since most of the apps that you installed I did not need or had something similar that i Knew how to use.

I had made a recovery before flashing and the recovery went very smooth and every thing works fine, even the new playstore.

One thing I would like to mention While I had the Tanix TX9 firmware in my Box I must say that I loved their launcher, Way better looking that the Sunvell one.

If it could be ported to our device I am pretty sure a lot of peoples would appreciate it.

Here some pictures:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
hi! so after put twrp for 16Gb on my 32Gb device, i install your rom on my device but after install the box stuck on t95z plus logo with no booting ( the lcd pannel on the front is black). i can go to the recovery mode by the reset button... i will try with one of the others roms.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
How long did you wait, takes a little bit longer to load up first time after flash. I would give it 10 minutes just to be sure.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
I'll try tomorrow (it's 1 am her).

Just a question after flash, during the first boot, does it show something on lcd panel or nothing?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I done a reflash this morning and the lcd showed boot briefly then showed the clock (time) while booting up for the first time.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
OK. Mine doesn't show anything on lcd and hang on t95z plus on TV for 10/15 minutes. I'll retry asap.

Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
10/15 minutes should have been enough time, after you wipe system, data and cache and then you install the zip, before you swipe right to reboot system, try pulling your usb out first.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Also download from the Playstore on your T95Z a app called CPU-Z, open it and click on device, take a pic of that screen and upload here so I can have a look. You'll have to restore your TWRP backup first obviously.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
The backup is already restored otherwise my wife and my daughter will kill me lol. I will do that asap.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Moreover following the restoration of my backup a bug appeared concerning the pointer of the mouse on the launcher. When I move the mouse the display is like cut in half at the height of the pointer position.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I think I know what you mean, when you turn the mouse back on, make sure it is sitting flat and not moving. Is it a normal mouse or like a Rii controller? My Rii controller has to be still when I flick the on switch otherwise the pointer can only access half the screen.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
Yes it's a rii style contrôler but no you don't know. I explain if I turn on air mouse function and I move to up I have a big glitch on the screen, a horizontal bar starting at the down of the screen going to the mouse position, if my mouse is a t the center of the screen my screen is like cut in a half horizontally but if I going down the edge of the bar follow my mouse position and if I don't have any glitch on the screen I must put my mouse completely down on the screen and desactivated the air mouse function.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Yeah, sorry mate I don't know what you mean. The TWRP backup should have put your system back to the way it was before, I've never had any issues with TWRP backups not doing that.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LeMaestro:
Have you tried resetting everything (graphics, network ect.) to default and reboot.:confused:

It might be some trash leftover from flashing the other rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] papla83:
I think it's a problem about storage, maybe the SD whith my backup is a little corrupt.

Regarding TWRP, none of the 3/32GB worked on my 3/32GB version. But the 2/16GB version did.

When I flash the others, it just hangs at T95Z Plus logo. Maybe it's something to do with my build version is T5ZP1073, in the other thread regarding this box, version 1015 and 1075 is mentioned:confused:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] murerlars:

Tried installing firmware from this thread but it just hangs at startup logo. Restored backup and it's running fine again now...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nuno_xda-developers:
I have the same problem. Could you please tell me what were the step you followed to restore the backup?

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
If your build version is 1073, you need TWRP for 7.1.1, download it from here
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
To Restore the Backup, you need to have the same TWRP installed as when you did the backup.

If you want to Flash the Custom Firmware, you need to be on Stock 7.1.2 before flashing the Custom Rom. Download the Stock 7.1.2 from here Use the USb burning tool to flash. Once you have Stock 7.1.2 installed and working, Flash the 7.1.2 TWRP, download from here Then proceed to flash the Custom Rom through TWRP.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nuno_xda-developers:
The link to stock 7.1.2 is related to 3/32. Mine is 2/16. Do you think I can use the one in here?

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
No that is still only 7.1.1 by the looks of it. I have a link to the 2/16gb version, but my Mega Folder is playing up, so I can't access it at the moment. here is a link to the 2/16 gb thread as well. https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...ic/custom-rom-t95z-plus-7-1-2-2-16gb-t3745179. I will post the link to the 7.1.2 stock firmware for the 2/16 gb when it lets me back in.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
The link for the Stock 7.1.2 2/16gb can be downloaded from here.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nuno_xda-developers:
Still no luck. Flashed the stock firmware (7.1.2); then the custom recovery (for 7.1.2) using method 2; and finnaly the custom rom. After reboot, the tvbox doesn't pass the logo screen (before the animation). I waited more than enough (I had to leave and left the tvbox turned on).

Some clarifications:

a) when flashing the stock firmware I choose "force erase all". But this can't be the problem, since the box works with the flashed stock firmware;

b) when doing wipe, i choose exactly the "Cache, System and Data" despite the fact that there were more options.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Are you flashing the 3/32 gb custom rom? You have the 2/16gb box don't you, my custom rom is for the 3/32 gb T95Z.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nuno_xda-developers:
No. I'm flashing the 2/16gb taken from this post. But I'm using your method.

And I'm using your custom-recovery image... could be this the reason?
