Follow the same procedure as below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...torial-root-november-security-update-t3715661

Cannot bro. Until now, only the December security update use "level 3" block bootloader. So cannot use BL of other lower firmware. November security update use the same "level" bootloader with lastest MM update ("level" 2).

It is Philippines (XTC) and phone origin is Vietnam, we are in the same CSC group and it should work. Please try exactly what I did.
Flash nougat BL with nov security patch along with the dec nougat build for AP+CP+CSC. After complete installation, I tried flashing TWRP (ofcourse enabling OEM unlock and USB debugging) and it failed. So went again to download mode then flashed BL (the file I attached) along with the dec nougat build. Again completed installation, then successfully flashed TWRP via odin. Afterwards, proceed to rooting my device.

I can not flash BL nougat from the September patch because it has level 2, and my BL is level 3 ....

Are you also Filipino?

Strange, maybe it is country specific issue. Mine has level 2 BL and rest Level 3 per dec build and I was successful flashing it. If you have a way to revert back from previous nougat build, say nov security patch, and can re-root your device, try flashing the latest nougat via flash fire. Use "flash firmware" action button and follow the instructions. Untick the "recovery" checkbox so you maintain twrp. From there, reroot your device through twrp. I also did this process and I was successful doing the whole thing.

If you have flashed level 3 BL initially then you have a slim chance of downgrading your device from previous builds. Maybe I was just lucky enough because I used flashfire at first to upgrade to dec nougat build. I just didn't like settings menu as it was quite different from previous nougat, so I reflashed everything via odin but using level 2 BL and the rest level 3 (dec build). Try to follow the furom from the thread I initially gave you as they have also issues same as yours.

Flashfire doesn't flash bootloaders which is why you were able to root.

I hope there's a other way to install twrp or cwm even the boot loader can't downgrade.?

Unlikely. Once it's locked that's usually it, no modifications possible.
It'll probably be locked down forever now unless Samsung release an unlocked firmware.

Hi good people of XDA, i'm currently running a samsung j500h with a 6.0.1 update.
I really want to root it. I tried every possible way and followed every instruction on every sites that i went through (including here). But it doesn't seem to work on my phone. So i asked a developer form facebook and he suggested that i try downgrading to lollipop, from there root my phone and install a pre rooted 6.0.1 rom. But i cant do that as well.
Here are the errors that i'm getting:
CF-autoroot,twrp and su update flash: phone cant boot into recovery, it shows the samsung logo but with a black line that ramdomly pops on any part of the screen and slowly making it blur.
Cf auto root on the other hand, makes my phone stuck on the logo. it never boots now matter how long i wait.
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.
Does someone here has the same problem?

Unfortunately, i couldn't find any fix/tips about this after a Google search.
I'm not sure, but I think that if Samsung release new 5.1.1 updates, maybe it will have a new bootloader too and maybe then we can downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.

Samsung has indeed become a huge crap. Android is an open source but these dudes always tend to make it a closed source. Really upset with this but we have no choice. Whether u update manually or via kies it will be the same.
And thanks henkate for making this thread. This will be proved useful to many. :good:
I got reply from moderator regarding sticky thread and he told me that sticky thread is not necessary because there are too low discussions on our J5 forum (it's not so popular) and that when our J5 forum will be more "developed"/popular, we could have a sticky thread which would contain all those important threads.
So, this thread will not be on top of this section ( Guides, News & Discussions) when there will be new threads or new posts in other threads.
thank u so much big bro

Even If u cant downgrade Bootloader, you can always just repack the system boot and recovery from 5.1.1 and flash and TADA you are back on Lollipop

I dont know if its easy like that since other people with other Samsung phone couldnt solve this.
Another guy got same problem with downgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/flashing-twrp-error-samsung-j500h-t3501187 (read at "Downgrading").
PS: Please dont quote the OP. Thank you!
I know that you have asked and been told no but we have got to keep this at the top of this thread.
This is so important for people to know.
What's are best option to keep this at the top ?

Agreed. Quite often Samsungs bootloaders are backwards compatible with previous firmware.
Boot.img and system.img should be all that is required to downgrade and possibly NON-HLOS.BIN if there are wifi issues.
Not only that there's a possibility the bootloader doesn't need to be flashed and the MM rom will boot with the lollipop bootloader.
However there are no guarantees either way.

It's not fake. The two users who reported has J500H. The latest firmware changelist of J500H is not same as J500FN one (also I don't see a firmware with "J" at FN). Maybe the new update didn't come on J500FN yet.
Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. Keep updating if you want, but then don't complain here that you can't downgrade.
You've been warned about this.
Thread cleaned up of all Off Topic Posts.
Also bump again and again is really not needed. Please don't do that again.
Can we please stay on topic?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it replaces the recovery which you can just put back. You'll also lose root I think which again you could just flash. At least that's how it was for the stock roms I've dealt with on other phones.

Last month people speculated that N4F26I with radio 3.78 was for non-Verizon and N4F26J with radio 3.79 was for Verizon because it fixed VOLTE and Voicemail for Verizon customers. Perhaps they just neglected to label last month? I note the new Verizon-only NUF26K keeps the 3.79 radio.
I'm on T-Mobile and last month was running 26J with 3.79 radio and had no problems. Now on 26O with 3.78 and having no problems.
My 6P got the I version last month. I suppose the J was only for the US provider Verizon because I didn't see anyone I know with a 6P to receive the J version.

I applied an older version, it seems to be working but I am getting a weird message on boot "Internal error in your device" or something similar to that.. weird.
I mean it's all working alright , just this message on boot.
EDIT:
OK the exact error was "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details"
It was an error in the prop.build file. Mismatch with the vendor prop.build file.
Copied the value :ro.build.fingerprint from the vendor file to the prop.build under system and it disappeared.

[Moto G5S Plus][ROM][All Regions] Moto Stock Firmwares/Captured OREO OTAs

Hi Folks!
Single thread for all the fastboot flashable stock firmwares and official OTAs.
Captured OREO 8.1.0 OTAs can be found in a separate folder, Check the region specific folders and DO READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FILES FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Make sure you are on unmodified stock rom with build number NPSS26.116-61-11(For RETIN Region OTA) and NPSS26.116-64-11(For RETBR Region OTA) before flashing/installing it, or else it wont flash/install.
Bootloader status does NOT matter, so unlocked guys can install it too, just make sure you have flashed stock first via fastboot.
Edit: Uploaded the fastboot flashable firmware OPS28.65-36.
Those who have unlocked bootloader can flash it via fastboot.
Locked bootloader ones can use the OTA files but make sure you are on eligible firmware.

Fastboot Flashable Firmwares: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=214680
Captured OTAs: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282605
Suggestions:
Never re-lock your device's bootloader.
Never downgrade your firmware.

Global Realme XT

I realize that there are some issues about global realme XT, I came to a lot of problems like others. Let me summarize some points:
1. Global version : (Ru/Eu/TW/......)
*come with NFC
the main difference between global and India version
(you can't tell between EX and EUEX) , so NFC is the key.
*cannot unlock bootloader (from os6 to os7)
If you do unlock bootloader, try to show us how.
*cannot root (unless BL unlocked)

*the lastest update is Android 10 ui c.01 (update a.05 to a.06 first before to c.01)

which is newer than India c.03 rom, I think that's why we still can update via recovery mode.

How do you install this once downloaded When I go into recovery and click this file I get an error. Do you have to unzip it I've never messed with. .ozip files
Thanks for your help
No. I think you're at A.05. Then update to A.06.
After that you can update to Android 10.

One more? When I put it on my SD card how do I install it. I'm not used to, .ozip files
Boot into recovery mode and choose update from sd card. Or just move the file to the phone memory and use phone's file explorer to open it, then the phone shall be able to update.
But wait. Some say A.05 can unlock bootloader. If you need it, test it. Maybe you have luck.

I'm not into all that anymore I spent more time on my lgv20 phone then with anything else. I do like the opinion of rooting at some point if this will root. I had a Lgv20 since 2016 loved that phone. But I'm enjoying this one a lot. I just want to be updated to the latest versions. And security patches. Thanks again for your help.

Do i need to have OEM Unlock Enabled to flash official samsung firmware note8 n950u

so i just got a note 8 its stuck on oreo im not receiving any updates so i thought i outta do it manually but the thing is i dont have the oem unlock option yet do i need it for flashing stock firmware with odin plus what firmware should i flash? i got snapdragon n950u xaa/xaa/tmb its on bootloader v5 i think i need to upgrade to pie
I think OEM unlock, is just to disable Factory Reset Protection if you don't know the original Google account used to register the device.
....whenver the device is wiped.

You can download the tmb stock firmware with samfirm.exe or frija on pc and flash it with Odin.
The OEM switch doesn't do anything to prevent flashing firmware through Odin. Also you won't see it on snapdragons models, only through the combination firmwares.
The OEM switch is used on exynos models to unlock bootloaders. The n950W/U/U1 has LOCKED bootloaders so it doesn't work on them.

Using correct Odin. Try different USB port

To add to that make sure it's a usb 2 port or lower version. Don't use usb 3 port it seems to cause issues with Odin.

No
It should be fine! Since your bootloader is already unlocked and rooted.
Some roms hide that OEM unlock switch. Guess to prevent the phone kg state to go to prenormal mode if toggled.
