I think this is revolutionary for those (like me) that were locked on 6.0.1 bootloader
Now i can use old twrp for lollipop, linaro kernel and everyting ! :laugh:

I'm sorry to calm down your happiness but on the F and FN model it was possible to restore old bootloader by downgrading easily, and if you got a bootloop you had to go in recovery and make a hard reset, then it would boot without problem. As Kingraheel said the blocked bootloader were those that have "U2" in the firmware name, as I remember F and FN don't have it.

AND I AM SORRY to say you are saying stupid things, because if you use builds for j500f with the latest changelist, you must know that your bootloader will be locked. As I received error while restoring samsung 5.1.1 after
So don.t correct me if you didn.t ever try latest builds like this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/120279/J500FXXU1BPL3_J500FTPH1BPF6_TPH/ or something even newer like this: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy%20J5/h887/ILO/J500FXXU1BPL1/J500FOJK1BPL1/

Yeah, you remebered something wrong !
I dont have the botloader blocked becouse i dont update it from the first 6.0.1 release
but any "tip", "trik" can be useful for the j5 users now, if not now maybe later
samsung can blok all j5 variant's and this can be more then wellcome!

I tried the latest firmware, and as I saib before F and FN model don't have locked bootloader, it just can't boot at first but after hard resetting in recovery it boots... So it's not that "hot" news.

I believe this isn't that kind of error. It's not locked.
People which got stuck with 6.0.1 and couldn't downgrade got this error:
Downgrading:
Error on phone says like these: aboot write fail: Fused 2>binary 1 (something like that)
it still boots and still on 6.0.1.

If you were locked, then I think you shouldn't get that far in Odin.
Try to flash other 5.1.1 firmware.

Dunno. The error you're getting is not same as the one experienced by the people which got stuck on 6.0.1.
EDIT: What error do you see on your phone when you're trying to flash 5.1.1 over 6.0.1?
Iam J500H user and locked to MM bootloaders. I remember that when flashing back to lollipop firmware using odin it stuck on aboot.mdn then fails and show on download mode binary fuse thing.

give me you lollipop pda number, and i make unlock file for odin, for your specific model
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to disagree here, @Henkate and @forimbajosh are bang on.
What you are experiencing has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloader. It clearly flashes the bootloader no problem but fails at the system partition.
If the bootloader was refusing to downgrade it would fail at aboot, full stop.
As long as both firmwares are revision 1, and as I can see they are, then there should be no issue downgrading as long as the firmware is correct.
Now attempting to downgrade from revision 2 to revision 1 is a different story.
It's more likely the firmware you attempted to flash is incorrect and possibly has a slightly different partition size for the system partition which is why it fails.
Decompress both of the system images to raw images and post the byte sizes.
I am using the latest update for my J500f (J500FXXU1BPL3_J500FTPH1BPF6_TPH) and my bootloader is still unlocked, maybe the bootloader locking problem is for J500h variants only.
I think so too, as @KingRaheel said the locked bootloader lies in "U2" firmware version.

DECRYPT WOTAN FILES
- Hi folks, here is a simple solution to decrypt wotan files, why we should pay again for a firmware that is already on our pc´s ?
- We can distribute this firmwares betwen us since we all have them!
- This works on any Xperia device!
Lets start
Warning:
a - Im no responsible if this bricks your device.
b- I have bad english, so ive made screencaptures to make this easier for you and me
1) Locate Wotan data folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Go to data/flashes and locate 3 files
Using ubuntu i discovered that those files are compressed
3) Using 7zip (or any compression software) Extract them
4) And voila, we got our files, but they are hidden.
5) Change those files extension to .sin
now they are ready for the bundle creation
6) Open Flashtool ... advanced... bundle creation.
7) Choose the folder where the files are...
8) Pass them to firmware content...
9) in device, version and branding fields put wathever you want, i put my device info, to recognize it later easier and press OK
10) Select your device if flashtool ask
11) Wait untill is finished...
12) The END, we got our FTF file to flash with Flashtool whenever we want and without paid anything!
Cheers!
If this was helpful please press Thanks button
Edit: reuploading the images!
I have downloaded many firmwares, I got 8 files there...and I have no idea which belongs to which one.
Gonna try something.

That's the problem.
Already first errors also when trying to extract, couldn't get full package.
Hmm I tried to build an FTF for my Xperia Mini firmware that I previously got off WotanServer, but FlashTool somehow gets "stuck" once it hits adsp.sin (which is like the 1st file it is trying to flash). The phone seems to be rejecting the flash.
My phone's bootloader is not unlocked though. But WotanServer was still able to flash the stock firmware (as it should be) nonetheless.
I'm thinking is it possible that maybe the files are individually encrypted in some way so the phone rejects it or something?
EDIT: Since other users have said it's successful, am I doing something wrong?
Works like a charm!!!!
Awesome, bro. Now All we need is a fully credit loades wootan account. i'm working on it, thanks.

I'm trying to do as described but I'm having the same problem Kaiyao, the firmware is not sent to the device, stands and does nothing.
Same here, it get stucked in flashing adsp.... will try again
So i tried again several times, and yes it get stuck in that section just like other people say
I have locked bootloader... maybe thats the problem? (and yes with wotan I can flash it with no problem)
By the looks of it, from reading all the posts, if you have a locked bootloader, it is highly unlikely to work. My bootloader is unlocked and it worked perfectly for me
Edit: Nevermind it didn't work, it got stuck like everybody else's and my bootloader is unlocked :S

I do not think the problem is in bootloader, because other ROMs operate normally.
I think there must be some script inside the files that makes them available as a cache file for wotan client re-flash only
Alright guys, in an attempt to flash my ST15i handset to the generic US ST15a firmware (I was hoping to get my 3G working for Digicel here in the Caribbean but no go, I just know the issue is baseband related but back on track), I bought some credit and downloaded the files. I managed to create a "ST15a_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Trade US" firmware. Here's the link http://ul.to/2sz71s80
Did you also try to flash it?To check if it works?

I'll flash it and retry just to make sure it works for you since I already flashed it (from ST15i to ST15a via the wotan server software).
Update: It's stuck at this point...
"16/023/2012 20:23:15 - INFO - Loader : S1_Loader_Root_773f - Version : R4A066 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE / IMEI : ***********

I don't know why...followed the tutorial exactly. Looks like a dud guys, my apologies. Next time I'll test and ensure it works unless someone wants to download and see where it messed up.
PS: Does anyone know if it is possible to get the bands which work for the ST15a working in the ST15i firmware (3G support to be precise)? Do I flash some software or are the bands determined by hardware (e.g. device uses a specific chip)?
Your bootloader is locked, so you can't flash kernels. Exclude it before flashing and flash again.

Hi... I just flashed the latest build numbers on my 601 32GB and everything is working like a charm. Don't forget to wipe the cache after you finish updating... in my case i ended up in a bootloop. you need to, after updating, reboot and if you get in the bootloop, redtart the note 10 with the power+volume up buttons, go into recovery and wipe the cache. After that, everything is A-OK...
Hope this helps...

The ones that end in J8. But funny thing is, after I installd all my apps and used the tablet for awhile and then restarted, I got into a stuck state on the white SAMSUNG logo. The white leds on the buttons flash, the tablet vibrates, but it gets stuck on a loop... I don't know why.
I go into recovery, flush the cache, but still get into the loop. Then, somehow, I guess by turning on and off the device a zillion times, I get off the bootloop and into the welcome screen and everything is ok again. I don't know why it happens or how to methodically get out of the bootloop state. But when it does boot, it works flawlessly.. Any help??
Thanks all...

1. Download the original firmware from samfirmware or other
2. Create the CSC with tarmd5 packager (if not available as a single tar)
3. Install via Odin with your desired modem/csc files

Even if not, you can use CF-AutoRoot method, then install TWRP from their thread in "Original Android Development". You'll lose nothing and get the rooted device with custom recovery and warranty bit 1 (0 is normal state)
Thanks allot
sry for my bad English. hope u guys can understand and make your device rooted
I try its on my xperia c4 E5333, and some people try its on their xperia c5 and its works too.
First upgrade your device to android 5.1, dont turn on usb debugging. if its on, turn it off
Second download kingroot from here ( .apk) http://www.kingroot.net and install kingroot. then run
So u your device get root now . So easy

after that, if you want to change kingroot to super su, u can folowing this:
download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3333295&d=1432683529 and extract to internal sdcard
install app "Terminal Emulator" from ch play. open it and type "su" for root permission, then type "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh", wait...
Reboot your phone, and finaly your phone get root with supersu.
So its a way to root Xperia C4/C5. Can anyone make recovery for C4/C5. Tks alots

It's Work my E5333 rooted.
I was able to root my E5506 (Wind Mobile) with or without USB debugging on. I tried both ways and it works using the latest Kingroot 4.8 app. It might reboot in the middle of rooting but just continue after the phone reboots. if it fails just try to root it again and it should work after a few tries.
I managed to install Titanium Backup Pro, Busy Box without any issues.
Note: If your Titanium Backup won't allow you to backup in your sd card, just download the app in the play store called SDfix. This app should fix your sd issues in TB. [emoji4]
If you flash a firmware using flashtool you will lose root so you'll have to re-root.
Nice, I'll try to change the root manager to SuperSU. Thanks for the info!
let me know if you manage to make it work. I tried to switch to super su but I keep getting error on su binary when it tries to update
OK Root C4

After rooting can i use flashify to flash custon recovery? There's a custom recovery for C5 ultra by Bigrammy.
if your bootloader is unlocked you probably can install a custom recovery. my phone's bootloader is still locked just was able to get root access.

following info from Sony my phone stated “NO” and as you can see the bootloader info said secure = yes but been a I went ahead anyway and here is the weird and lucky for us thing.
After I unlocked it I got (bootloader) secure = NO from fastboot but the System software still reported Bootloader unlock allowed = No

Yes I understand that bigrammy did mention in his thread that some may show "secure=yes" but recovery can still be flashed. I am just worried about mine being a carrier bought phone not being able to flash the fotakernel. I don't want to screw up my phone just yet.

This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown

This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown
CPU shows quad core 1,2 GHz
RAM 1,0 GB
Memory 4,0 GB
Resolution 540 x 960
Android version 4.3.

Will try, but after the extraction wich files should I flash?
On a post I saw it said that I should flash only cust, system, recovery and boot.
Is it necesary to flash all the files from the update?

I managed to flash a stock rom using gopinaidu77's [RoM][StOcK][Kiw-L22/L21]B140.Debloated, because it is the only one I found that is stock but .zip file.
The only question now, if you can help me with an answer, is what could go wrong if in the 'about phone' panel model number is MSM8916 for arm64 and the file version is kiw-l24c567b140.
I mean, taking to consideration that my phone is KIW-L21 and the original file version it was originally for KIW-L24.
Anyway I really apreciate the help.

this rom contains the /cust partition you need

after flashing it with TWRP
Flash stock recovery with TWRP / Install / Install Image >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004
when you are done leave twrp with power off
now with the update.app files in the sdcard/dload boot the phone with
Power+ vol+ and vol-
EMUI will flash the phone
if you want complete stock boot to stock recovery (power + volume up) and choose factory reset

I am sorry guys,it didn't work.
Tried everything but it seems that the only rom working is the one I mentiones above.
Thank you very much,both of You,though,but for now I guess I'll stock to this one.
The only question now remains how will the fact that it show 'KIW-L24' will afect future updates ?

Yes I did, the only problem is that it will not boot. It gets stuck at the first honor logo.
It only booted when I tried the first solution but in that case again it was showing 'unknown device' '1 gb of ram' etc.

what didn't work ? if you can't follow simple steps how do you expect to fix the phone ?
Did you download and flash the customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip from paulobrien ? if you did your phone would not still say L24 it would be L21
The phone boots very slow wait at least 10 - 15 min before you give up on it

I read the description of the rom and saw that it boots slow and left it 35 minute by the watch before giving up. That was the only thing that it didn't work,the fact that it didn't boot.

This happened to me also. I flashed SuperSU on my GR5 and it went on bootloop. So I searched for TWRP Backup but I flashed KIW the first time, so I searched again and found the file. After boot, my about phone is displaying the wrong info. And also the pc detects it as MSM8916 for arm64 with only 2GB space. Please help

updates for RMX2155 model are not being available via settings, it seems to be some kind of sever issue, you can manually update by using sp flash tool, but only do this if you know what you are doing, this will delete your data.
also unlocked bootloaders are facing similar issues with updates, you should relock the bootloader if you want to update.
you can unlock/relock bootloader by using these kind of tool (MTK universal v5)

Follow this tutorial:
But instead of stock a53(RUI1) frimware you need for download F09(RUI3) frimware for rmx2151, can't paste link here because it will be removed,
After extraction of Ofp file you'll get multiple super.img and one supermap.xml type file..
You only need one super.img, for that you'll need simg2img.exe,
After downloading simg2img.exe put it in the same folder where you extracted the ofp and open cmd in the same folder,
And type following command "simg2img.exe super.xxx.img super.yyy.img super.zzz.img super.img"
where x,y,z will be replaced by names present in supermap file ..
Then you'll have a new file in ofp folder named super.img,
Follow rest of the tutorial afterwards...
You also might need to unlock bootloader.
so im looking at realmefirware(.com) but i cant find the F09 firmware only the C.19 version idk if thats it
I also checked the link in the tutorials description and the codename is RMX2163 and i also dk if its the right files
the last thing i wanna do now is to brick my device

Btw u thing rooting is worth it (not only for the custom roms but for the modules and the endless possibilities that root unlocks)

Depends on the situations,
If you have only one phone and you are a corporate guy, then its probably not worth it
Also now a days most of the little customisations(including custom roms) can be achieved without root.
However if you plan to root your secondary phone and do all kind of kinky stuff with it then its absolutely fun,
Root always comes with risk.

btw dude can u share any guide on this one cause it seems its the only way ( at least for me ) to unlock my bootloader cause i cant do it thru the deep test (or in-depth test ) idk why.
Unlocking the bootloader might be more useful for me rather than flashing back to rui3.0
thx for all the help fam very much appreciated

No problem buddy, just keep searching for solutions.
Orange state is just a msg to inform you that your boot loader has been unlocked,
while in recovery format and wipe data, then reboot.
And next time try to add images also.
And if you plan on using sp flash tool it doesn't matter if your phone is booting or not.

So to get this right
Once I unlock the bootloader I will get into the the Orange state which I will able to bypass by formating (wipe data) on my phone and I should be able to boot again right ? On the original rom
And from there I will be able to install the TWRP custom recovery in which I can install my custom rom ?
Right?
