Thanks! :good:

It works fine on SM-J500G too. But I have to flash the stock firmware after flashing twrp with odin on my rooted device. My device cannot boot into system, keep booting into twrp every time I reboot from twrp menu. After flashing stock firmware and and re-flash twrp, my device can now boot into system when I choose reboot from twrp menu. Thanks for the twrp tar file.

So if I understand correctly... You restored a old backup but it didn't restore the apps. If that's the case, did it say any errors when you tried to restore

Sadly I really don't know what could cause the issue. My best guess is the boot.img . Once I am at home I will send you some instructions how to flash the boot.img
OK instructions.
To flash bootimg download the stock Rom from sammobile. Then open the ZIP. Next open the ZIP inside the ZIP by removing .md5 . then take out the boot.img. once you enter twrp flash the Boot.IMG.with the flash IMG option

I just tried it in my j500m and it worked! Now just waiting for a great rom

Is there a way to root this device without using PC ? like one click root or something like that ?
I dnt have access to PC and need to root the device.

Hello. I know that this post is off topic, but this is the only "popular" thread for this phone and it doesn't have it's own forum yet.
@CTXz : I hope you won't get mad on me for mentioning you Maybe you can answer me about what I wrote below.
I got Samsung Galaxy J5 SM-J600FN yesterday. It is a nice phone for 200euros... But I experienced a problem. When I put a call in speaker mode, the person with who I'm talking won't hear me after few seconds and when I switch back to normal mode (speaker off) he can hear me. Now it started to happen in normal calls too. I did put network in 2G to consume less MB, I don't know if this might be a problem.
Anybody else experienced this? I'm wonder if it is a hardware issue or software issue.
Also, the volume buttons and power button is moving lil bit in left-right, I don't know if is a problem at all because are working. So, people who has this device, please let me know if buttons are same to you and if you experienced that call problem.
Thank you! Have a nice day! Robert.
PS: I'm sorry if my English is bad

Hey no i'm not mad
The calling issue is most likely software. It's also quite common. Try to wipe cache. If the problem presists you can make a twrp backup and install the stock rom again. Then restore the backup data etc.
The buttons are totally fine. All my Samsung phones/tablets have that. Why? Dunno.

Gonna wipe the cache now.
About buttons, you gave me that peace of kind by saying that I was worried that could get break soon or that I got a device with problems. At my previous phone named Galaxy S Advance the buttons were moving too but less and I have used it for 2+ years, I never checked buttons before tho.
I won't install other stock Rom yet until I'm sure that I won't break that Knox. I'm new to this Knox protection and I haven't read much about it. I already miss so many root apps from previous phone
May I ask you in how much time does charge your J5? Mine charged in 4-5 hours when it was powered off, I did this two times and now I think i won't repeat it again.
Thank you alot for your answer.

If you reflash stock it wont break stock. But if you flash twrp it will

Well ! It seems that I am not under ClockworkMod but Android recovery !!! -> "Android system recovery <3e>"
I don't understand... I've flashed many times with Odin and it's each time the same.
Maybe I've use a bad file ?

I had this issue in the past. Try to flash it with fastboot rather than Odin. Search for the guide in the forum.
Install PdaNet Desktop so you will get the correct drivers (worked for me).

Thank you Al3cks, but...
...Ghaaaaa ! I'm going crazy
When I make a "temp root" : fastboot boot myrecovery.img : YES !! it work
But when I make a "permanent root" (flash the rom ?) : fastboot flash recovery myrecovery.img, the command windows (Dos mode) say : OKAY sending and OKAY writing but when I reboot in Recovery mode, I'm always in Android System Recovery
Please, help ... I'm near the final solution

You probably have a stock ROM. I don't know how, but I think the stock bootloader somehow restores the original recovery. I never tried CWM on the stock rom. After I flashed and booted the custom recovery I always flashed CyanogenMod right after it. If I didn't do this, I would notice I had the default <3e> recovery after an adb reboot recovery command, but didn't give this too much thought.
I once thought I bricked my tablet, I had stock ROM, tried to flash something not meant for P7100 but after 15 minutes of staying with a black empty screen on, the tablet "magically" rebooted back to a fully working rom.
Search for pershoot and ask him more details. That's just what I observed.
What I think is that it is not a good idea to mess with the stock bootloader. If you want custom recovery, flash CyanogenMod and CWM will remain permanent. Otherwise, just let it be, or, when you need advanced recovery functions, use fastboot to boot CWM 6.0.x.x from your computer, do what you have to do, and reboot normally. You will remain rooted even if you have stock recovery.
Thank you Al3cks.
Yes, you're right, I do not want brick my tablet.
But I do not understand why CWM does not install in place of that of Android. Not with with Fastboot, and not with Odin (Fastboot and Odin show a good flash!).
Why?
I really want CWM Recovery on this Tablet because it's possible.
If nobody has arrived to put the CMW, I stopped immediately but many people have this Recovery on the P7100 10.1v tablet.
Now, where still the problem... bad root ?
Is it possible to flash from internal memory (recovery.zip) ???
Please, I do not want to give up, I want this mode! :crying:
Thank you all for your help and your patience...

Hi,
when you have root, try to install ROM Manager from Play Store..
Try to install Recovery from ROM-Manager..You will have to select Galaxy tab 10.1.
Try if you can go into recovery.
Than flash Recovery.img for 10.1v .. 5.5.0.4 or latest one via fastboot

Hi jensema,
On another forum, a guy says Rom Manager does not recognize the tablet 10.1v.
Rom Manager knows that like the 10.1 and it may brick the tablet.
But I can't say if this guy say right...
What do you think about this ?
Stay away from ROM Manager on this tablet. And as I said, I don't think you can have CWM recovery, as long as you are on stock rom. The stock rom somehow restores the original recovery on every boot.

I can only tell you what i did today:
had kind of same problem, after flashing recovery, a reboot to recovery took me to custom recovery.
Had those problem today and already in the past.. Or when a recovery flash was succesfully, i can boot to recovery, but reboot option out of recovery took me to recovery again.
Today I flashed Stock 3.0.1 to try the latest cm10.
Again i had problems flashin recovery..
From rootet stock 3.0.1 i Installed ROM manager.
I installed recovery for 10.1 through Rom manager..
and after this i booted to recovery succesfully ..(For me it worked- try at your own risk..)
I went back to fastboot and flashed CWM 6.0.1.5. for 10.1v from pershoot site..without problems..
CWM 6.0.1.5 working.. Problems never occured again..

Well... I just make a big risked experience.
I installed Rom Manager (before response Al3cks) and I flashed CWM Recovery.
After reboot, the tablet stay on a black screen for a few minutes (I was scared) and it restarted on CWM Recovery! Yes ... but for a short time.
And after a normal reboot on ICS, I tried again to restart the CWM Recovery and it was gone!
I back on the recovery of Android.
Al3cks say right, after each start, the original ROM check and removes recovery not original.
Fortunately, this ROM does not relock the bootloader and not uninstalled root!
Conclusion : We can only have another recovery if the tablet is flashed with a custom ROM ?
(and sorry again for my bad english)

Then just boot the recovery.
fastboot boot revovery.img
So you can backup/restore and install custom rom as well.

From what I observed, and from what you experienced, yes. If you want CWM recovery, flash a custom ROM.
Thanks for interest
Ok, but now my tablet is under ICS official (pure, no Touchwiz, ...)
This ROM is developed from Vodafone and is an official upgrade.
Can you tell me why change ROM to unofficial ICS or JB (without front cam, ..), or another ?
Thank you

Because I often use the Backup-Restore function in CWM
I like testing many APK and when my phone is down, I restore last image.
If I can make Backup/Restore from my tablet, I can test JB rom and if I don't like this, I restore the actually rom in 2 minutes...

I had a problem with CM10 so I went back to stock ICS and I managed to get CWM 6.0.1.2 to remain permanent. I used fastboot to flash it first (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), then immediately after this, without rebooting the tablet, while still in fastboot, i ran "fastboot boot recovery.img" and in CWM when I hit reboot system now, it gave me a warning telling me that bootloader may restore default recovery and gave an option to fix this and I selected the option. To my surprise, at the next reboot to recovery I found CWM. I only needed it to root my tablet, I didn't want it permanent, but I don't mind. Go to pershoot's blog (droidbasement) and acces the folder for the CM9 rom. From there, download the recovery archive and extract recovery.img from it.

Good Day

I have a problem about my Android Phone, last last month was my first time to have an android phone and im very excited to install apps and somehow to customize it.
One day while searching and reading on google I saw something interesting which is Rooting Android, I tried it and successfully rooted my phone and there's no problem but I know that if my phone is rooted I can customize my ROM, Upgrade my phone version and etc.. Im very interested with that, so I used to search more about how to install custom ROM and I have read some forum threads that has a steps on how to install custom rom and what tools to used, i dont know if that's what im looking for but I just followed the intructions and steps and then applied it on my phone.
When im about to install Custom ROM I used MTKdroidtools for my O+ 8.2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread for creating backups, after that procedure there's a notification that I will reboot my android phone via CWM Recovery Mode then I reboot it, then it turned off and turned on I know that im in Recovery Mode because I have encountered it before.
Then here comes my crazy idea and I don't know why but I just continued to do it, I clicked the Wipe Data or Wipe All Cache Data I forgot it then after that the next thing I did was to installed the Custom ROM("ICS_DARK_BREED_V_A818_by_BassureroX") which I have downloaded on my SD Card then reboot my phone again and then its not working anymore I mean it's stack in bootloop which my friend says that's what happened to my phone, I regret on what I have done I really need to recover my phone back to normal again please help me.
Is there any thing I can do? I hope there's still a solution for my phone problem.
Thank You.
Here's the images of my phone after installing that Custom ROM:

Is there any thing I can do? I hope there's still a solution for my phone problem.
Thank You.
Here's the images of my phone after installing that Custom ROM:

Use paragraph, your post is very difficult to read.
Now, regarding your problem, try to wipe /system, /data and /cache from recovery, flash the rom and wipe /data and /cache again.

I meant the app didn't show the paragraphs in your post. Anyway, the only way to boot a turned off phone in recovery is by a key combo, generally POWER + VOL+ or POWER + VOL-, depending on the model

I can now enter to the recovery mode sir.
*Here is a short explanation for what really happened:
I have an android phone(Rooted & ROM Manager installed).
I used MTK Droidtools for backups, rebooted and autoCWM was created.
I Wiped Data/Factory Reset then Install the Custom ROM from SD Card, when finished i rebooted my phone then its not working anymore.
But i can charge it and i can also enter to autoCWM when pressing Power Button+Camera Button+Volume Up Button.
is there anything i can do?

Yes, if you can boot into recovery mode then you can try flashing another rom for your phone, maybe checking the integrity of the file before flashing it

I had a look on the net, and I could not find any stock nor custom rom for your model. I think you flashed a rom for another model, and of course now the phone is obviously not booting.
If you can find a way to return to stock rom you're good to go, maybe looking on the website of the manifacturer, otherwise there is nothing much to do..
Keep in mind for the next time to double check what you're flashing, and to always backup first.

YASSS!! TWRP 3 is out! Now at least recovery can look nicer and much improved now.
FYI, I was able to successfully make a nandroid backup and restore said backup on TWRP 3.0.0-0. However, with 3.0.0-0 I was unable to clean install Slim Pickins Rom. When that happened I rebooted into download mode, reinstalled TWRP 2.8.7.0, which I was then able to clean install Slim Pickins with

I don't believe so, if you're referring to the prompt that comes up the first time you boot into TWRP, I told it to go ahead and modify /system/ or whatever. Also I was able to restore a nandroid backup (including the system partition) in TWRP 3.0.0-0 before I came across this issue. Since my memory is imperfect at best, I'll retest it again tonight once I have the free time and access to my phone (it's actually my gf's but she's sold on the whole custom ROM scene since I showed her how much CM improved my S5; now she won't stop asking if I've gotten CM to build successfully yet for this phone lol)

So as I thought. Wipe system definitely working but there must be some conflict between updare binary and updater script with twrp since you restored system. First recovery wipe system and than restore it.
this conflict is common when rom is made with kitchen.
So wait for cm. It won't be to long

Unfortunately, that was the case for me, too. I was able to wipe but not able to install the Slim Pickins ROM. It came up with an error. So I had to go back to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and successfully install the ROM.

What app did you use? The only app I know of that flashes Odin files is "Mobile Odin" by Chainfire, but I think it's still not compatible with our device, so the only way to flash TWRP is via Odin and the only way for you to fix boot is to flash either Trapkernel or the stock firmware in Odin. The only other way I can think of is if you maybe had TWRP 2 installed before this and you're still able to boot into it and restore a previous backup.

I just extracted the file, then just used rom installers flash image feature. And I fix it by using twrps terminal command feature and just dd my stock recovery I keep as a backup.

OK. I think I know what the problem was. Yes you can flash the recovery.img in a flash tool app. I just verified that it does work for this recovery too by using an app called "Rashr" and successfully flashing from TWRP 2 to TWRP 3 using the extracted recovery.img for TWRP 3. When it's done though it asks if you want to reboot to recovery, which you must've done. You can not select reboot to recovery from anywhere on this device without causing a recovery loop. I'd say you could try flashing the boot.img from the Trapkernel.zip in your flash tool app too to fix boot, but since you can't use apps right now and have no way to access a backup, then you will need to find a computer to fix your device.

Try using flash fire by chainfire if you still need to install twrp and can't use a PC. It's the successor to mobile Odin and is compatible with way more devices including virtually every Samsung device. Flashify might work too. Obviously either app will require root

I think the "reboot to recovery" causing a recovery loop issue might be a system one. It's always been an issue on this device. There are quite a few versions of TWRP now for the SM-G360T1, but all if them do it. I think it even did it with the stock recovery too. Not a big deal though in my mind. Just have to remember to always reboot normal.

Basic & Useful information for Galaxy J5 suite​
In this thread you'll find useful informations along with a list of available Custom Roms and Kernels for our Samsung Galaxy J5.
Let me know if you think there is some information I should add in this thread, to improve it.
Post #1: What is a stock & custom rom, KNOX, root, custom recovery, download mode, xposed framework, kernel, customkernel, governor's, +
Post #2: List with custom roms and kernels available, how to flash/reflash stock rom, install custom recovery, how to root, how to flash a custom rom, how to UPGRADE & DOWNGRADE 5.1.1<=>6.0.1
Post #3: Credits
1) What is a Stock ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's the original operating system provided by the manufacturer of the device.
2) What is a Custom ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's the operating system ported, developed from source or derivated from Stock Rom, created by developers.
3) What is KNOX?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"Knox is a new security feature that is being offered with certain Samsung handsets. It helps you to securely separate your personal and professional data. Essentially, you can have the benefits of using a ‘work phone’ without the need to carry, and secure, a separate device." -blog.clove.co.uk
"Normal(unrooted and so..) devices are flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0x0 right from the factory.
When we flash items which weren’t signed by Samsung, it flags your device as KNOX Void Warranty 0x1.
So, flashing root/kernel/recovery/latest firmware by samsung/etc. will set KNOX status to 0x1." - omegadroid.co
Once the KNOX gets voided, you lose the warranty. (there are some cases where people say that Samsung repaired their phone for free while Knox was voided though)
4) What does mean ROOT?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"Rooting, for those of you that don’t know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It’s similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run apps that require access to certain system settings, as well as flash custom ROMs to your phone, which add all sorts of extra features. If you’re on the fence about rooting, check out our top 10 reasons to root your Android phone for some motivation." - Lifehacker
5) What is a custom recovery?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.
"A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups." - howtogeek.com
On our Galaxy J5, you can enter the recovery by holding Power + Home + Volume UP buttons.
6) What is download mode?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"Download mode is for flashing radio firmware/ROM upgrade through official means.
For example, ODIN is commonly used on Samsung devices to flash ROMs, those devices needs to be in download mode prior to flashing. However, ODIN is not the official way to do it, rather Kies, is the official route in upgrading the firmware, this is for Samsung devices for example." - android.stackexchange.com
You can enter the download mode by holding Power + Home + Volume down buttons.
7) What is the Xposed framework?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"The Xposed Framework is a way to make system-level changes to your Android operating system without installing a custom ROM. All you need is root access." - howtogeek.com
For example, you can remap your phone buttons, gain control over apps permissions and some more privacy, customize your phone.
Take a look here.
8) What is SELinux?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SELinux, which was introduced in Android 4.3, is a mandatory access control system built into the Linux kernel, in order to help enforce the existing access control rights (i.e.permissions), and to attempt to prevent privilege escalation attacks (i.e. an app trying to gain root access on your device).
9) What is Governor?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A CPU governor in Android controls how the CPU raises and lowers its frequency in response to the demands the user is placing on their device. Governors are especially important in smartphones and tablets because they have a large impact on the apparent fluidity of the interface and the battery life of the device over a charge.
**source and each governor explained:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3048957 Thanks to @gsstudios for detailed explanation and hard work
thanks to @Sehab084 for directed me
10) What is Kernel and custom Kernel?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KERNEL It's the core of the operating system that handles requests to and from the hardware, memory and process management and all the low-level stuff that is necessary for Android to be able to run.
CustomKERNEL Custom Kernels are nothing but modified stock kernel. Its done in order to achieve some features which is not present in the kernel provided by Manufactures. You can find one for your device if anybody has created a custom kernel for your "device". Kernels are device specific too.

1) How to flash / reflash Stock ROM:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method with ODIN
1) Download and install the proper DRIVERS for your phone (it should be done automatically when you connect the phone to the PC).
2) Charge the phone at least 50%! (full charge is better)
3) Download the latest ODIN tool (Google will help you with pleasure to do that). I'm using v3.09.
4) Download the latest Stock Rom update for your Galaxy J5 device FROM HERE.
5) Extract ODIN archive and run it (.exe file).
6) Extract the Stock Rom .zip archive and you will get a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file (xxxxxxxxxx= name of the Stock Rom)

I've sent you a PM with a new code for the posts, looking much more cleaner and easier to read in my opinion.
I've also added some more information, corrected the typos and replaced some words with ones better. My English isn't perfect neither, but I think is better than your
I hope you replace your code with my code. I've spent like 4-6 hours to do it LOL. I've done it on my phone.
Also, I think we should add this thread in our signature.

Nandroid backup
Basically, this so-called Nandroid backup can save you a lot of trouble in case you soft-brick your device. In just a few clicks, your whole system is restored and your device is fully functioning again, as if nothing ever happened. In this short guide, I’ll give you the simple steps so that you can make a backup yourself to be on the safe side. I’ll also show you how you can transfer your backup to your computer so that you don’t need to keep it on your device to save space.
How to do a Nandroid backup
1. Prerequisites
In order to be able to make a Nandroid backup, your Android device has to be rooted and needs to have a custom recovery tool.
2. Go into recovery
To get into your recovery, you first need to boot your device into the bootloader. This can be done by turning it on holding down the Power + Home + Volume UP buttons.
3. Do the nandroid backup
Once you’re inside the recovery it’s a piece of cake.
TWRP:
Go to “Backup”
Choose the partitions you want to back up. If you’re not sure what to choose, simply leave the default selections.
Make the backup by swiping to the right at the bottom.
Your device should now perform the backup process, once that’s done you can reboot your device.
4. Transfer the Nandroid Backup to a computer
Now, depending on how many apps and files you installed, your backup might take away quite some space. To avoid that, you can transfer the whole Nandroid backup to your computer and delete it on your device. Should you ever need to restore your device, you only need to transfer it back.
TWRP:
Connect your device to your computer and go to the TWRP folder on your device. In there, a folder containing your backup can be found. If you have several on your device, they will be separated so that you can choose only the folder you need. After you successfully copied the folder, you can delete the one on your device.
5. Restore your device using your Nandroid backup
That’s an easy one as well. Simply boot into recovery, select “Restore”.
Now you can choose the backup you want to use and restore your device. Once that’s finished, reboot your device and you’re done!

How to create a NAndroid Backup
(It's on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but its the same procedures)
big thumps up
As a newbie, I couldn't figure out why the custom recovery was not could not be flashed properly. Until I found this thread which told me the steps that I was missing:
03. Goto "settings>>about device" on ur j5 and tap built number 6,7 times to enable developer options.
04. Enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB Debugging" .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is it an idea to add those steps to the 'how to'? Or are these steps so obvious that only a newbie does not think about these steps?
For the rest, big thumps up for this Q&A and the 'how to's' !! :good::laugh: They are very useful for someone who is just starting to play around with this stuff. Now I'll try to go for a custom ROM and see if that might improve the performance.

You did a full wipe from
Wipe/Advanced wipe
"Dalvick/art cache,
Data,
System,
Cache,
Android secure"
before flashing the rom?
Or a wipe dalvik cache before reboot the phone after the flashing was finished?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F Please Help

Hi i was hoping someone could help me fix my SM-G925F device. I will give you abit of information of how im in the situation going back to about a year ago i got a firmware update on my samsung galaxy s6 edge so i started downloading it and my device rebooted and said it was installing the update but halfway through it must of corrupted or failed but my device still booted up and when i went into my settings it said i was on android version 7.0 so thought nothing of it but did start having a few minor issues now and then but anyway on sunday i was playing a game on my phone and it randomly just froze so i waited 2 mins and then it seemed to be working again but then 5 mins later it did it again and i waited around 10 mins and it was still frozen so i had a look on google and it showed me a button combination you can do to restart your device if it does freeze but after it tried rebooting it would just sit on the s6 edge logo screen so i tired looking online again and it told me to go into recovery mode which i did and it showed a little error at the bottom left corner saying "dm-verity error" but i still tried clearing my cache partition but when i rebooted the phone it was still stuck on the s6 edge logo. I decided to reflash my device with a stock rom from sammobile but it failed at system.img and when i try booting my phone i get a error saying "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart PC software" so i tried flashing a custom recovery named "TWRP" but that also failed so now when i go into dowload mode by holding down the down volume + home + power buttons and press volume up to enter dowload mode in the top left corner it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925F
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Dowload: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0200)
AP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2
I have tried different stock roms that match my device model but now odin fails on boot.img or just stays on initialization
An easy way is to just flash TWRP and flash a custom ROM they have may that are stock flavours with improvements. also, check for a dm-verity flash file for TWRP
It wont let me flash anything using odin anymore to flash a custom recovery. Odin recognizes my device but wont flash anything like the progress bar under dowloading... doesnt even show up anymore. The only thing i can think of is taking it to a samsung engineer facility but i bet they charge loads

Well, your only option now is let it boot loop and run out of power give it a little charge and see if it will flash TWRP for your device, small chance your internal flash drive is fried or the critical portion of the flash drive is corrupted.

Well, there is hope since custom binary is not a big problem. K check out the options menu tick F.Reset Time and Re-partition and UNTICK Auto Reboot
Load TWRP but make sure it is the TWRP version for your S6.
Click start should do something like this. Should take about a minute. if that does not work drain the battery and do the named steps again if that fails I can not think of another way.

Yeh it wipes the flash drive of the current OS, then head into TWRP mode and flash a custom ROM from the S6 XDA sub, plenty of excellent ROM's make sure it can be flashed through TWRP those are easy.
