[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] NewDev4IOS:
Fixed finally

For all of you out there who happened to get stuck on 955u firmware containing bootloader 2 installed on the 955u1, there is hope!

I have successfully gotten back to 955u1 firmware and running OREO.

You will need (I will give Links to files in a post to follow) (Carrier in BL says XAA):

USB 2.0 PORT

PRINCECOMSEY ODIN 3.12... link

regular ODIN 3.13.1 (what i used) link

G955U1UES2AQL1_G955U1OYM2AQL1 Firmware (link in post to follow)

G955U1UEU2CRB9_G955U1OYM2CRB9 Firmware (link in post to follow)

Official Samsung Cable that came with phone (preferably)

Windows OS

A Galaxy S8+ 955u1 Phone (only tried with this)

Instructions:

1. Extract both firmware files/zips (Put in 2 seperate folders so no mixups)

2. Reboot your phone to download mode (Power off then -- Power + Bixby + Volume Down at same time)

3. Open up princecomsey ODIN and then connect your phone to USB 2.0 Port

4. Add in the AQL1 Files - (BL, AP, CP, CSC) -- (I personally first did the AP, CP, and CSC then had it reboot then i restarted and flashed the BL by itself then rebooted) and press start. (I unchecked everything but reboot and f.reset time)

5. Unplug and Wait for it to turn on to the setup screen, then finish the setup. If you open up settings it will be all jumbled up and weird, but dont worry. If you dont have service yet - dont worry.

6. Now after the phone is all setup (or if you decided to skip), unplug and power off the phone then boot into download mode again.

7. Now open up Regular odin and reconnect the phone

8. Now put in the CRB9 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) (I put all in this time and i used the Home_CSC this time but you can use csc normal but no guarantee that would work with getting service again as i didnt try it) and press start and wait til it finishes and reboots

9. ENJOY!!!

I will make a new forum for this tutorial soon

hi ive been using touch it version 4.10.531.3 wwe

i think its about time for an update or a change.

If you have any reccomendations on what i should try next please post here.

im interested in functionality stability and speed, so far im pleased with the cooked roms ive seen since i prefer them over stock rom.

let me know what you're using pros cons.

i usually just play games and use the phone if that helps

p.s i have the htc t-mobile wing if that helps
[Wing, P4350 General] duprade:
I usually reccommend ITJE's Touch-IT or ASERG's Roms ... seeing as you've already using Touch-IT, I'd say check out Aserg's...

But your best option is to try them all until you find one you like.... because everyone is going to start campaigning for their favorite roms as I have ... so you're going to get a bunch of opinions.
[Wing, P4350 General] uues:
ty for youre opinion dave youve been much help across these forumns
[Wing, P4350 General] duprade:
No problems. Thats what we're all here for ... I've tried practically every rom on here .. and there's alot of good roms out there ... the ones I suggested are my preference... you may well find another one out there that suites you best.

If I were to give my grandmother a Wing, I'd probably give her TouchIT or ASERG because of simplicity and usefulness... knowing she wouldn't have any problems with it.

Hi guys,

I got back this Samsung galaxy j5 from a firend, and i dont know what to do with, i cant acces recovery, its fully blocked in this stage:

Can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] gooodly:
Can you force a reboot with Vol+ & Vol- & Power? Then Vol- & Home & Power should open download mode. From here you should be able to use Smart Switch for a firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] battlepower:
Somehow i whas able to boot in download mode. My Smart switch writes Unsuported device. And i can-t get to work :(

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] battlepower:
Any ideas what can i do with this phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] gooodly:
Look for a pit file and flash it with Odin. Tab "PIT", load the PIT file; tab "Options": [x] Re-partition; [x] F. Reset Time.

Reboot into download mode and restart Odin to flash the most recent firmware again (BL, AP, CP & CSC).

If this does not help you may need to replace the main board.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Amijaz:
I've attached the PIT file pulled from my SM-J500F. In case if you haven't got hold of one, you may insert the below file(after extracting) in PIT option on Odin. Hopes this will work!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Iagothewheels:
Install an older version of smart switch, they disabled the reinstall option

It worked for me when my phone didnt even show that screen.

You can also try reinstalling the missing parts throw odin, like the previous coment said
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] battlepower:
I get this after trying to flash the pit :(

So all the same, if i try another pit the same proble. I instaled old version of smart switch and i wrote the model and the imei, and says try again.

hi

so i have a Lenovo K8 plus 3 GB ram variant. Let me explain what happened first.

I unlocked my device's bootloader to flash the patched boot image for magisk root, then this orange state sign started showing up eerytime i booted up. then when the latest update rolled out in march, i decided to relock the bootloader and then update my device. did it and then a red state sign showing up accompanied by bootloop (it said something like rollback kernel too). so I formatted the whole thing via sp flash tool and downloaded the stock rom.

now when i try to flash it, preloader flashes FINE, recovery flashes FINE, but when it comes to md1img it shows this error: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007). I tried flashing all the files individually to find the cause of the problem and see exactly which particular flash file was causing the problem. results are as follows.

[STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007) ]- this error was displayed while flashing these files - md1img, md1dsp, md1arm7, md3img.

[ STATUS_SEC_IMG_TOO_LARGE (0xC0020005)] - only popped up while flashing the oem image.

when I exclude these files from the queue, the rest files flash fine.

In short, I have a bricked phone which i am unable to flash via sp flash tool.

Thanks in advance :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zipdox:
Requirements:

Rooted device

SD card formatted to ext4/3/2

Terminal app installed

Optional: A file explorer (I use ES file explorer)

Basic command line knowledge

Step 1: Run as root

Open the terminal app and execute this:

su

This is necessary for the next commands to be executed with root privilege.

Step 2: Identify SD card partition(s)

Execute:

blkid

or

cat /proc/partitions

This will spit out a bunch of partitions but we're looking for a device that reads something like "/dev/block/mmcblk1".

In my case there's two of those, because I have two partitions on my SD card. One reads "mmcblk1p1", which is ExFat and the other reads mmcblk1 and is ext2. We'll be mounting the second one, so my partition is /dev/block/mmcblk1p2. It isn't ext4 but the the process is the same.

Step 3: Create folder to mount to

We will need to create a folder to mount the partition to and I will go along with the "/storage/sdcard0" directory and choose "/storage/sdcard1". You can however choose any name you want.

So run this:

mkdir /storage/sdcard1

or replace sdcard1 with a different name if desired.

Step 4: Mounting

The command syntax for mounting is as follows:

mount -t ext4 partition path

My device is "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2" and my path is "/storage/sdcard1" so this is what I'll run:

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /storage/sdcard1

(I used ext4 with an ext2 partition but it works regardless.)

If there were no issues the command will run without an output.

Now you can test if it's mounted by going into the folder with

cd /storage/sdcard1

and making a folder:

mkdir test

If you list the files:

ls

you should see "test".

Step 5: Gaining read/write permission

Execute:

chmod -R 777 /storage/sdcard1

obviously with your own path and now you should be able to open the directory in a file manager and write into it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaceboy60:
Works, but no file managers recognise its mounted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Check the folder you made with mkdir, it should be there.

Hi

After updating to EMUI 8.0 from this tutorial everything went well. Got Oreo working fine, so started to root with magisk = Ok; Xposed=Nok... Bootloop.

First - clean Data and Cache+Dalvik, still Bootloop

Entered to fastboot and tried to flash this file to rollback to 8.0, but...

I nottest that it said on the screen:

Bootloader UNLOCKED (in RED) and FRP Locked (In Green)

Confusing colors, cause it seems that i can't flash anything with unlocking the FRP... but i don´t have access the the system....

Also cant format System partition cause its read only, unable to flash other recovery files thought fastboot....

It s a f*cking MESS....

Can anyone please advice on this?

What can i do to recover this piece of sh*t??

Please........

Thank you, people

==============================

Well, got it figured out... But had to pay for it....

First of all:

You SUCK. Thanks for NOTHING

Lastly:

Thank YOU!!!

Long story short, i've solved it but have to pay for it.

Went to HUAWEI Service Center here in Portugal, and they told me that they couldn't do anything since the phone was not marketed for Europe (??????) [ASS Os]

I've discovered this service, and as with any other service online, i get suspicious for a while, asked a lot of questions and decided:

Bought a Month Pass for 50 EUD (45 Euros), and voila, in the first try unbricked the phone :)

Now i have the rest of the month to play with it...

Thanks for the people of FunkyHuawei for the kind attention (mostly pacience) they had with me.

I recommend it :good::good::good::good::good:

Do you still have access to twrp?

It could be only hope.

I had frp lock problem after unlocking bootloader. I had hit reset to default setting while inside developer options menu. That flipped the oem unlock switch.

I had to use twrp to flash back the stock boot.img and stock recovery.img then i was able to oem relock (my code).

And boot into room and reflip oem unlock toggle
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
thanks for replying

Not sure that i can access TWRP cause every time i force the recovery it appears the EMUI recovery (probably the NoCheck version that i used to update to Oreo)

Isn't it possible to reverte back to EMUI 5.1? Maybe with the 'dload' methode??

Is there any way to reset/unlock FRP from fastboot? I tried to relock bootloader with my own key but got an error (can't remember now what...)

I can't access the ROM itself...

This was because i installed Xposed....

If i could access TWRP again, perhaps i could delete the xposed files (in a recovery with the system as read-only)...

But i just dont know what to look for....

In older systems i knew that was the app_process file... Now i just dont know....

Thanks again for your reply!

If you tried to install exposed from twrp, it should still be there
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] Sudeep Duhoon:
try dload method with emui 5 rom package, it may downgrade, no harm in trying.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
Please can you explain that in detail?

Cause that might be the only way to save this (#"))&%&(/)&....

So, here is my situation:

- No TWRP access (recovery_ramdisk might be empty or damage... hopefully just empty)

- Bootloader Unlocked but FRP Locked

- eRecovery only presents 3 choices: Shutdown, Reboot and "Download latest version and recovery"*

- The System it self it's messed up after trying to install xposed.... just when its about to start, it reboots...

So.......

Still 3 ways that i can resolv this:

1 - the dload method (already tried, it updates until 5%, then error:" Install update failed" (Use the update.app file from the OTA, FullOTA, just the app file, all files in the update.zip... ) Not sure if i'm missing the right app file or if the eRecovery (maybe the NoCkeck version used to update initially) is screwed-up...

2 - Unlocking the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) this means that the "Allow OEM unlocking" is Off

Hopping to find a way to unlock it via fastboot

3 - The *Download latest version and recovery method allows to connect to wifi and download the firmware...

Not much sucess, but i know that i'm missing something (just dont know what it is...)

It seems that the router requires a certain configuration which i have no idea....

Suggestions are always welcome!

Thanks
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
What I'm trying to understand , is how were you trying to install exposed.

I assume it was with twrp, no.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
theres not much to understand there....

i flashed it with twrp and the phone never booted again...

yes, had access to the twrp for a while, but then, trying to run again the update process to flash the wrong recovery to recovery_ramdisk partition.... (another shot in the foot)

now i dont have twrp anymore and i'm unable to flash it cause th frp lock keeps telling thats not allowed...

the most clean way to solve this is to erase/unlock the FRP without accessing the ROM...

I'm already thinking about buy some credits with one of those online services that might unlock it...

Can you suggest to me some serious and honest services?

I'm desperate.... :(
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Ok, I see

Didn't know you where 2 or 3 miss- steps past a failed exposed install.

can't you install image from fastboot, if so try to flash rr or aosp system.img or extract from update.app
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
Tried that but the only response that fastboot gives me is "Command not allowed" .

I just can´t flash anything in fastboot. I think i can thought adb shell dd (at least that how i manage to screw twrp partition), but i just can´t get ADB connection.

Just got fastboot connection with HiSuite drivers...

How can i get ADB access? It just installs an USB Storage Device...

Also i can try update via fastboot but it saying that it misses android-info.txt file.... whatever that means...

If i could boot once into the ROM, i would enable "Allow OEM Unlocking" and do exactly that.... btut i junt can´t... not yet...
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
That was my plan... but even that is screwed-up.....

Here is my Recovery Status, without the possibility to flash any img via fastboot:

recovery_ramdisk (empty or in-error)

erecovery_ramdisk ( BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img flashed to update into EMUI 8.0)

With the software now, whats failling me is the ****ing recovery, that flash only 5% before it shows this error : "Install update failed!"

Dont have ADB support, maybe because i dont have the "USB Debbuging" option enable...

:(

It seems that i will spend 15 euros to unlock this &%/())(/&%$######()/=?(/%&$#
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] firstamendment:
Just thought I'd post here in case you are still in need. I believe that there are two different recovery modes - one that is triggered by holding power, up vol, and down vol, and another that is triggered by holding just power and up vol. Are you sure twrp is gone? I thought I had lost twrp when in fact it was in the other recovery.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
Not even that i can do....

Let's update:

State

OS: Bootloop

System: No "recovery_ramdisk" partition (no stock / no twrp)

Bootloader: Unlocked

*FRP: Locked

So can't flash in fastboot, *Already got the unlock code for the FRP but without the "recovery_ramdisk" recovery the system wont reset....

(Weird!) No adb access in recovery mode (which would help A LOT....)

The dload method, whatever the update.app only updates until 5% , then error updating...

The eRecovery Wireless method might work, but i just dont know how to do it.

Tried with a usb pen inserted on the router with all the ROMs all together, in separated folders, whatever, no rom detected... there must be a way to do it right... i just dont know how...

Just need one of two things to happend:

Flash the stock recovery - still dont know how to do it...

Fix the bootloop and access the SO Rom - also, without adb access just dont know how...

Out of the box thinking required...

About UPDATE.APP

Can't we make a update.app much like o do it for zip files?

Would it be possible to make um UPDATE.APP just to flash/restore recovery partition?

The updates with zip files must also be inside a dload folder?

About Bootloop and SD Card

Is there a way, using the sd card, to stop the reboot, maybe enable the Safe Mode...

Something that would allowed me to access the Settings...

Any apk, any script that could be loaded from the SD card....

Not an easy plan... i know...

Maybe something very basic and easy is escaping me....
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
I just read through the fastboot partition from my backup using "strings" to find the available "oem" commands.

I think i found possible solution for you.

careful useing these commands as I do not know for sure if they work and what they do.

fastboot oem frp-unlock

also not sure about the dashes or underscores.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RSGI:
Hi

Thank you for replying.

Already tried that.... Actually the command should be:

fastboot oem frp-unlock (unlock frp key)

Bought the unlock code from an online unlock store.

Spent 10 euros. The code is correct cause i got the message that the device will reboot and do a factory reset.

Than it reboots into an error screen, cause i screwed up the "recovery_ramdisk" partition earlier and its not working now. So, no factory reset, no changing the Frp status... Still locked.

Still no flashing img files from recovery... Still got the reply oficial Command Not Allowed...

But:

I'm trying to gain adb access while on eRecovery.

Than i could try to flash the stock recovery with the code dd command. From there i would unlock the Frp with the code and the Factory Reset might be enought to fix the bootloop.

Also the bootloop it self...

I wonder if there's a way to force the boot even with FC errors....

Access to the ROM software would allow me to flash the stock recovery and then make a factory reset, by changing the OEM Unlocking status

Thanks for your reply, maybe you can give me some tips on this 2 ways that i'm exploring right now.

Or some other ways that i haven't consider yet... please....
