I think A5 2017 TWRP have a bug. TWRP works fine, but if I try to flash ih8sn with TWRP on A5 2017 it gives me error. If I flash ih8sn with S4 TWRP it works flawlessly. I do not know if I can upload link of ih8sn from github.

Hi, Completely new to this and following the instructions to try and get another few years out of my A5,

I have booted into TWRP, selected allow changes but end up with an error when installing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 I'm installing this from the ZIP file. It also wont allow me to complete any sort of backup.

Using the latest version of twrp and odin3 and the phone is a completely stock A5 2017

Is this install needed - I'm aiming to install lineage0s 18.1 but nervous to go any further as it has failed at this step

Hi. Anyone got an Idea what i can do. My Power Button aint got any reaction. Got another damaged one A5 2017 and changed the Power Button but still the same. Want to Flash a Rom but cant Press the PB to access the Recovery Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] sLumPia:
I am on similar issue.

I have unused A7 2017 and its home button is broken.

The only solution I can think of is to use usb jig: https://www.xda-developers.com/need-a-samsung-usb-jig-build-your-own/

I am ordering it from local online shop and waiting for it to arrived.

Note:

You might need to order Micro USB to USB Type C converter, because most usb jig sold online come with Micro USB port.

I installed TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxya52017.html using heimdall, but before that,

1) I unlocked the OEM & enabled usb debugging

1) I unlocked the bootloader, which seems to have formatted the device, enabled usb debugging again.

2) I could see my device, and everything worked well.

3) switched to download mode by writing "adb mode download"

4) installed TWRP using heimdall through macbook:

heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot

5) it was successful, I did reboot, and now it is stuck in a download mode, with an error on top-left red: error veryfing vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header,

I have now 2 problems:

1) I can't seem to exit the download mode no matter what I do

2) the computer no longer recognizes my device, this is the biggest bummer - adb devices does not return anything neither can heimdall detect anything.

Has anyone any recommendations with this? Did I really hard-brick this if I can't exit download mode or the device is no longer recognized by computer?

Seems as if TWRP for Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 is no longer supported?

I have been using twrp-3.7.0_9-0-a5y17lte.img with lineage-os for Android 13.

The installation of lineage-os Android 14 is possible, but the install of MindTheGapps for Android 14 gives "updater process ends with error: 1 .

I tried to find a twrp 3.7.1 for a5y17lte, but unsuccessful.

Any help
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Simon1511:
MindTheGapps have never worked with TWRP on this device. If you want to use MindTheGapps you'll have to use LineageOS recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] arbor95:
thx for that info.

Have not thought, that gapps could be recovery dependant.

can you recommend a gapps for that device for LOS21(A14).

p.s.: Looking at mindthegapps.com you see installation instructions with naming TWRP to use.

p.p.s: I now installed LOS21 with NIK-Gapps.

I'm not a noob at flashing but everytime things get different. I have read in your other thread in the "guides section" that there's a RMM file that we have to flash.......what about this "no-verity-opt-encrypt" ??? Is it still needed? It's not totally clear :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] exnokiafan:

Regarding encryption patch and other instructions, i'll update the thread soon with proper patch for encryptions. I know instructions are incomplete for now, will test things and update with proper patches.

I never used no-verity-opt-encrypt patch, but people reported not working anymore on oreo, that's why i didn't added that into the thread.

Also all my roms have encryption forced disabled to be able to use storage in twrp.

What device? Try to reflash your current rom/latest modem and bootloader for your device variant, maybe there's some corrupt data. Also try to flash back 3.2.2, see if it fixes your issue, but it shouldn't because it's not twrp related 100%. Only TWRP flashing doesn't interact with other files and it shouldn't cause such issues.

the newest 14.1 nightly for A5 2017 from the lineage OS site. I have always had an issue with the no encrypt stuff so i never bother.

ashyx no verity no encrypt patch not working properly anymore, that was a good patch for nougat, right now it might not do what it's needed. That's why i suggested latest no verity opt encrypt from nethunter builds which did a great job in my nougat/oreo tests.

The name states what the patch does:

-no-verity-no-encrypt - removes encryption forever which throws you in bootloop if you have encryption active

-no-verity-opt-encrypt - makes encryption optional which makes your phone usable even if you have encryption active

I suggest you stick to all the instructions posted here, read 2-3 times before doing anything and don't brick your phone.

Thanks.

New TWRP out:

Changes:

switched to TwrpBuilder official builds

included crypto for LineageOS software encrypted data, thanks to [MENTION=4315222]Option58[/MENTION]

made preload partition wipeable in recovery

included cpefs and m9kefs partitions in backup for safety reasons

Downloads:

A520x - https://github.com/TwrpBuilder/android_device_samsung_a5y17lte/releases

A720x - https://github.com/TwrpBuilder/android_device_samsung_a7y17lte/releases

Instructions:

Odin

Download Odin v3.13.1

Download and install Samsung Drivers (if you have them installed you can skip this step)

Go to settings/Developer options and enable OEM unlock (If you don't see developer settings, go into Settings/About phone/Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show Developer options menu)

Download TWRP_*.tar

Switch off the phone

Use Home+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb

Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected

Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab

Click Start

When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in hands, disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Home" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the downoad mode disappears

At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Home" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP

If it didn`t worked, redo the steps from #1 more careful this time.

TWRP

Download TWRP_*.img, push it into phone storage, choose install image in your current recovery, navigate to downloaded *.img file, select it, select to flash as recovery.

Optional - Download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 zip to disable data partition encryption

If for any reason you fail to install TWRP multiple times/different methods, make sure you check this thread

All the best!

Blocked by FRP lock - SOLVED

For the first time, when I followed the steps on my Samsung A5 2017, I got a message during TWRP download saying "Custom binary(RECOVERY) blocked by FRP lock".

Here are the steps I followed and on the next attempt TWRP install was smooth:

1. Reset to factory settings - no google account added

2. Developer optiosn enabled

3. OEM unlock enabled

4. USB Debugging enabled.

I am not sure if all the steps above are required. Maybe just one of them would do the trick.

Hi,

To format a partition, it must be not mounted. Precisely you need to format the partition because you cannot mount it in twrp, and you cannot mount it because it's encrypted by the stock firmware.

In short, go to twrp and before format the data partition go to the "mount" menu and untick everything. Then proceed.

Regards.
