yes, you can flash the rom with flashtool. you find the instructions in the first post

so I guess you're on stock rom and not rooted, no twrp?

i always had the same problem like you with flashtool readbacks..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whise1:
Yes, i still dont have twrp, i want to first backup my device (including imei) in the flash tool, but i cant figure out how to use the readback function to do that. I mean the values i have to enter for the sizes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
Yes, you said that in your first post.. but unfortunately i stuck at the same point, when i tried to do a readback with spflashtool..

I suggest you flash twrp with fastboot. No partition besides the recovery partition gets tampered this way (if not something goes horribly wrong).

Once booted to twrp, you can backup all important partitions, including nvram partition which stores the imei.

The risk to lose your imei by flashing twrp with fastboot is nearly zero..

On the other hand, i guess there are various good tutorials for making a readback with spf.. (giyf)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
What error do you get?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pazskt:
An app stop when I log in with my account, someone can test it?

ENDOMONDO

app, it stop when log in.

after uninstall google play it come back to work.

I try install other versions of google play, doesn't work for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
so flashing with spflashtool worked for you now?

I guess the problem you have with endomondo is similar to the problem with ikariam..

try this:

1. open microg settings

2. enable google device registration

3. enable google cloud messaging

4. go to unified nlp settings and setup the backends

5. clear data of endomondo app

6. open endomondo app and log in

(7. reboot)

8. tell me, if it worked :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] whise1:
After installing it worked, but then i did a factory reset and now my system always goes into twrp. Help please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
did you install via spft? then please download the file, extract and flash via spft!

[MEGA] vernee-m5-3lm-xda-180609-1-beta---FIX_FOR_SPFT---
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whise1:
You already released a fix. yes i flashed with spft. Thanks. However i found another problem:

When the flash after a system wipe, it is not possible to setup a user in android. This causes a known bug where its impossible to open notification (swipe down doesnt work) and also the home and recent buttons dont work. This is a known bug in android 7 https://forums.androidcentral.com/g...ar-home-recents-not-working-how-fix-them.html

Additionally, you cant open developer options due to this bug.

The way to fix this bug is to add a new user account on android or go into the guest account, or even trying to run the setup wizzard again. However, in your rom none of this options seem avaliable.

I manage to fix this by flashing the unbrick.img first. Then i created a new user account and then i flashed your rom.

I got everything working fine now. But i just have to remember to not do a factory reset. Can i flash your fix file over my existing setup without loosing everything?

Regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
could you please repeat the steps you made one by one..? so that i can follow the flashing process.

you still have no twrp..? you should seriously think about installing it.. :laugh:

but also flashing with spft works without problems on my phone.

factory reset (via twrp): no problem

how do you perform a factory reset? from settings or do you boot to recovery first?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whise1:
I had twrp installed but when i installed the unbrick.img it reverted back to the old one.

So what i did was this:

1- instaled twrp,

2- installed your rom. Everything was working with some google play errors so i decided to do a factory reset. but after i got a boot loop.

3- instaled unbrick.img from mtk sp tool. Didnt finish the user setup in google.

4- flash twrp

5- installed your rom via twrp. Got inside but go the "no user account bugs (cant go into notifications, home button not workig)"

6- instaled unbrick.img from mtk sp tool. This time i finished the user setup in google and created an extra user account in android.

7 - installed your rom with mtk sp tool. Things are working but i cant seem to loggin to certain apps (messenger crashes when i loggin, MI HOME app crashes when i try to loggin, etc)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
ok, i guess your whole device is messed up with some files, flashing various differently modified images :silly::eek:

i would suggest you to do these steps now:

1. you are booted up and rooted, right? then continue..

2. download the twrp recovery image from here

3. install official twrp app from here

4. open it and grant root permissions

5. flash the downloaded twrp image

6. reboot to recovery (from twrp app from example)

7. save all your important data from /sdcard to /ext_sd

8. remove your ext sdcard from the phone (just to be sure)

9. from twrp home screen choose wipe -> advanced wipe -> tick data, cache, dalvik cache, system and internal storage -> swipe to wipe -> back to home screen

10. wipe -> format data -> type "yes" -> back to homescreen

11. reboot -> recovery

12. flash my rom from here -> [MEGA] vernee-m5-3lm-xda-180609-1-beta-FIXED ~ 1.26 GB

13. reboot and tell me if it worked.. please follow these steps EXACTLY!

!!! IMPORTANT: NEVER PERFORM A FACTORY RESET FROM WITHIN THE SETTINGS APP!! ALWAYS BOOT TO TWRP AND WIPE THERE THERE !!!

Thanks a lot good tweaks also Very good job

i have 1 problem google contacts sync not working ?

I think the reason its Xposed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rahh1112:
So.. what about an AROMA zip? if you can split the patches and changes.. I can try to make it =D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
yess, that sounds nice. i also was thinking about a "modular" installation process, which first installs the barebone rom and then gives the user an opportunity to chose which mods get installed eg. xposed, microg etc.

the main problem is my little free time atm. but i will try to provide you the zip files.

btw, anyone knows the steps to generate a userdata image, which size is not 50GB? :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rahh1112:
AFAIK images are only for a partition, so you have to generate the 50GB one. I you want to modify anything automatically, you have to mount /data and copy the files there (which is a problem, since we have forceencrypt in our kernel.. but this can be avoided modifying the kernel to disable it, and doing a factory reset afterwards)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
it is definitely possible to make an userdata image with only the used blocks in it (see the stock userdata image ;) )

it's a so called "sparse image".

i can generate only the "raw image" which includes all empty blocks and therefore is 50 GB large.

I followed several tutorials to convert the raw image to a sparse image, but i did not manage it

btw: i think magisk disables the forceencrypt-flag by default
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rahh1112:
I didn't know that this was a sparse image lol, just run mkuserimg.sh with the "-s" flag

And magisk does disable forceencrypt by default, but not everyone wants to use it (that's a user case we need to consider)

Hello my friend!

Thanks to the posts of the site I was able to unlock the bootloader, install the twrp and still rootear my device. But every time he accesses the twrp he asks for a password. I would like to know if there is a way to change this because I can not perform backup. A solution suggested by one of my friends was to install a custom rom (the one you made available in this post) but in the region where I live I can not download the complete one, I ask you to give me a solution or to make the rom custom available in a different dish. : D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rahh1112:
First of all, DO NOT TRY TO DECRYPT /data IN TWRP, I WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Second, What you're looking for is a kernel without forceencrypt. To do this you can patch it yourself or install Magisk (it also disables dm-verity and AVB). Then you can factory reset the device and have access to it in TWRP.

My M5 is now lopping for TWRP and not starts :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
Did you install via twrp? Can you boot to twrp now?

Then try to flash it again.

Did you do a clean or a dirty flash?

Try a clean install If you did Not before.

Otherwise try to flash via spft.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nathanael540:
Yes, via TWRP;

I try to flash again, but the same thing happened;

I do the clean flash;

I test via spft, but he shut off;

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rayuri Carrion:
Help me

Hi, friend, I would like to know if you intend to upgrade it, because after the last magisk update I was unable to use it. Every time I update the magisk, reboot and boot the android goes into bootloop. Are you planning to fix or help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
Hey! I also experienced problems with Magisk 17.x

But unfortunately this is something I can't fix, because Magisk 17.x seems to be buggy..

To avoid bootloops, root loss etc I suggest to stay on Magisk 16.x and to NOT UPDATE TO MAGISK 17.x!!!

Last working Magisk Manager is 5.8.3.

Disable automatic updates in Magisk settings.

That's only a workaround, but I guess there will be a Magisk update soon to fix the issues.

Nevertheless I'm planning an update for my ROM in the next days, so stay tuned :)

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rayuri Carrion:
Oh yes, thank you very much and I'm waiting. One question I have, how did you create this ROM? I have great desire, time and facility to learn things of the genre, but I'm not sure where to start, and since you already have experience in Vernee I hope you can help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
Hey!

Sorry for the late reply.

This ROM/MOD is actually a flashable backup of my running system.

so the basic steps are simple as that:

1. install the ROM you want to modify

2. apply mods and changes in your running system, add apps, delete apps etc.

3. backup the raw img files of all the partitions you modified

4. create a flashable zip from these partitions

and you're done!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spguy:
Hi @drei.liter.milch

I installed your ROM and it looks pretty cool.

Once I installed, it gaves me the RH-01 error.

I deleted my google account, and tried to create it again.

But now it says:

there was a problem communicating with google server

try again later​

I tried to install google services from apkmirror without success.

I tried recent versions, also 12.6.85 according to this

But the apk installer says that all the apks are corrupted ¿?

After that, I have tested that WhatsApp and other apks can be installed without the corrupted problem

Probably, it's due to the same the RH-01 erro error.

What is "microg"? I've looked for it in the apps lists, android settings... without success

How could I clear data from microg related apps incling the three backends ?

How could I modify device registration and nlp backends in microg settings?

BTW, once your ROM is installed, could I perform a Factory Reset and install it again?

Should it solve the Google Play Services problem?

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spguy:
I did a factory reset and a cache reset. After that, I was able to see "microg" icon as a normal app, and follow these steps

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Once installed, some applications applications installed via Google Play like Chrome or Gmail don't run,

raising the error: chrome wouldn't run unless you update google play services

the error message have a link to update google play services via Google Play, but this update never ends

Is it possible to install Chrome or Gmail having installed microg?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drei.liter.milch:
Hey!

Basically microG is a less data- and battery-hungry replacement for the original Google play services. Please look for the topic here on XDA. I think it's also linked in the OP..

If you generally prefer Google apps to aosp or other third party apps, then microG would probably not be your choice..

Here is what you can do:

- delete all "nlp-backend" folders in /system/app

- delete all three microG folders in /system/priv-app

- now download the latest openGapps nano-package for your device from https://opengapps.org/ and install in TWRP

- done

Now you have back the original Google Play services with all features

Edit: microG hasn't received official updates for a long time. And Google bake these version-checks into their apps to ensure that you always run the latest (or at least a newer) version of Google play services. This is why some apps refuse to work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spguy:
thanks a lot [MENTION=7958441]drei.liter.milch[/MENTION]

I deleted the directories, and installed opengapps ARM64 nano via TWRP... but now I can't use Google Play: I'm getting a black screen after "session start"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spguy:
After follow your steps, and install opengapps nano, I tryed almost everything I found on Internet related to this black screen:

- Update WebView https://github.com/opengapps/aosp_build/issues/183#issuecomment-455753731

- Uninstall Viper4Android

- follow these steps: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/iJXYoIZqZoU/uwYKL1hvBAAJ

- Manually install Google Play Services packages from apkmirror, but package manager says: "The package appears to be corrupt"

But nothing.

Then I tryed it again. This time with factory reset. Booted TWRP to:

- factory reset and reset all data.

- install your beta ROM

- delete nlp* and microg*

- install opengapps (this time pico version)

- reboot

The problem remains. Every time I try to start Google Play, or to add a Google account it gives me a black screen.

I repeated the steps one more time. This time I did a factory reset, formated /system , installed your ROM, and after reboot the browser worked perfectly, then I continue the steps and after installing opengapps: the browser complains about WebView

How could I use opengapps + google play services with your ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spguy:
Hi [MENTION=7958441]drei.liter.milch[/MENTION]

Regarding microg, for me the worst part for me was:

- the GPS is not being refreshed enough and giving me wrong possitions

- application like Image Gallery / file explorer not being refreshed: I've to wait or to reset the mobile in order to get the last photo.

- some third party apps are hanging (perhaps depending on Google Services), like my city BUS app, or my city Über-like app

Why GPS / filesystem refresh or events are failing? Is it a parameter that I could tune?

Having these two issues solved could be very helpfull to continue using your ROM

I think that the best option for me, should be installing opengapps.

But I've the black screen issue that I described in my former post.

I think that Vernee M5 was a very good purchase. I'm looking forward for your next ROM version

Thanks!

Hi,

The files are no longer available.

Although i have another problem:

After amazing battery life, I started having trouble, the phone charge ok till 70%, then very slow till 76% sometimes 80% and rarely 100%, even on a battery pack it shut itself before being 100% full.

So I ordered in AliExpress a new battery even with 6200mah but advertised for 4000mah, but it has the same problem, so I thought maybe someone put too much power on the USB plug that damaged seriously the charging circuit!

Then I though:

If I order the USB module to replace, will it charge properly or the damage is somewhere else?

Thank you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokoroxbr:
Hello everyone. I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge (SM G935F) and i recently received the android 8.0.0 from samsung. Downloaded and installed directly via the cellphone.

But after updating i am getting this internet/connection drop issues a lot.

Now a lot of times when im connected in wifi or using the 4g mobile internet, im getting a lot of internet lag/drops. Example: at whatsapp, when i sens a message, the clock appears and only after a little rhe time the message is send.

Example 2: at facebook, somerimes it lags and takes too long to load the content (same happening in instagram). Or at clash of clans, it is showing that symbol of internet issue.

Besides those internet bugs/lags, the android 8.0.0 is ok.

I already did a factory reset yesterday via the phone, and saved the files with smart switch. But the problem persists. I also checked and my wifi internet and my mobile internet are ok.

Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Is there a newer version of the ROM, maybe? Or if not, is ir possible to downgrade to android 7 again (really wouldnt like this option but....)?

If anyone could help that would be great. But for the record:im really newbie at android stuffs....if you can help, please could you explain step by step?

Thanks everyone:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlonzoGrande1:
I have the same phone but in my region the OTA 8.0 upgrade didn't arrive yet so I took a french official 8.0 for SM-G935F and installed it. After about one week I can tell it works like a charm and even better than before with the Marshmallow firmware. I don't see a solution with your specific connection problem but I can try to find and bring you the OS that I downloaded and used if you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokoroxbr:
mate if you can post here the download link of your OS would be great !!! So i install it and do a complete reset & cache wipe.

Did you downloaded at Sammobile ???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlonzoGrande1:
NO, i can't seem to remember where i downloaded the firmware from, but I am sure it wasn't from Sammobile because it take ages to download. But I still have it on my laptop so I'm uploading the .rar on mediafire.

All you have to do:

Get Odin

Get the ROM (extract it separately, you should see the AP, BL, CP, CSC components)

Cause I am a new user on the forum it doesn't allow me to post external links so let's get around that:

type in w w w. mediafire . com /file / tx3676bj71vz17f/G935FXXU2ERD5_G935FOXA2ERD5_BTU.zip (copy paste and remove all the spaces)

Activate USB debugging (google that, you can get it in 30 secs)

press and hold power+home_button+volum_down then press volume_up when it asks you to confirm that you know what you're doing.

Open Odin, you should see that your phone is recognized (in the top left rectangle it shows COM something.

Add the AP, BL, CP and CSC from the folder to Odin by pressing the specific buttons and then selecting them, wait between them if necessary, it will tell you.

Make sure re partition is not ticked in the options tab.

after everytihng is ready, click start and wait some time.

When it is done you should see PASS in green and your phone restarting.\

From there you just have to configure your new OS. Bare in mind that you should know the google acc and password that you had on the phone before, else it will get FRP locked.

Hope this helps, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
