My old Samsung S5 mini - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I really would like to try some custom roms, especially without Google Apps
My phone is a SM-G800H, Android 6.0.1 (dual sim)
I would like to try Lineageos, but it seems my device is NOT listed on their wiki... should I use some unofficial version?
I got some issues with fastboot command: it doesn't recognize my device (while adb is ok).
Installing a custom rom will be easier with a rooted device?
Thank you!!

Fastboot isn't for Samsung. You have Odin for it and twrp. Flash an unofficial lineage rom with gapps and you should be good to go

Hi,
I think this should be fine.
I have some doubt about TWRP. If I enter in recovery mode, I already have menu like "wipe data". So why is TWRP necessary?
It is also unclear if TWRP is meant as recovery partition (instead of the stock one) or a normal apps which needs root privileges to work.
Can you just explain me that?
Thank you again!

Twrp is a custom recovery. You can't install anything with the stock recovery

Issues reinstallling Custom Recovery

Hello everyone, long time lurker here. I have used xda over the course of many years with many different devices, and I am extremely grateful to all of you!
I recently cam across an issue. So with my OnePlus X I had unlocked it, rooted it, installed TWRP and a custom ROM (6.x.x). I had that setup for a while, it worked well, and I enjoyed it. I decided to try to update to a 7.x rom, but that is when I had issues. Trying to install the rom through twrp didn't work, and I couldn't revert back to the old rom either. I tried to use the master unbrick thread to set it back to stock, and it worked. The problem here is the stock rom is very broken, things like the OPX home launcher simply freeze and crash. Trying to usethe guide on the oneplus website to unlock it all again to reinstall TWRP doesn't work. I can unlock it, but installing recovery is where it screws up.
So it says it installs, but then when I try to reboot recovery it has a DTB: not found...manually rebooting to recovery leaves a black screen with the oneplus square logo.
Any ideas how to fix this? I am so lost, but I love this phone!
Fastboot flash old stock recovery from OOS2 wipe data and cache install 2.2.3 followed by 3.1.4 then make sure your flashing latest TWRP 3.0.3 from there site. Now should be able to flash Nougat.

No because he needs to upgrade the bootloader first to have a TWRP 3.0.3 that works OK.

Twrp + ROM For Honor 5x - L24 varriant

Hi,
I want to install twrp in my 5x l24 us version. I read some threads here at XDA about twrp and rooting of honor 5x. But I am not sure where to start. I am hoping that someone here can guide me a little. I currently have emui 4.0 with marshmallow official from huawei.
My questions are:
1. Should I make nan droid backup of my phone before proceeding to install twrp? I am not sure what exactly is nan droid backup.
2. Is there any risk of device being bricked during the installation of twrp?
3. I read a thread named twrp for l24 l22 l23 and so on.. Does this method work anymore? Because I see users complaining about some twrp issues.
4. What are the safety measures I should do before doing any rooting, flashing?
Note - I don't do much rooting or flashing stuff that's why I am asking here. Thank you in advance

It's all already answered, but OK.
0. You must unlock your bootloader before any of those,
1. you can try just booting into TWRP (fastboot boot recovery.img) and try backing up everything from there. I'm not sure that one works, I simply flashed TWPR and continued backing up from there,
2. No way you can brick it if you go by instructions; follow simple instructions from TWRP thread == recovery flash without issues. This device is flash-friendly
3. This one? That would be an official TWRP thread, so... it works, my L21 is on latest 3.1.1 build.
4. Always have a backup and don't flash anything you're not sure it will work and that's it. So, you've freshly flashed TWRP, first thing would be to make a system backup, that way, if anything goes wrong with rooting or custom ROMs, you can always go back to stock one without hastle.
Hope that helped.

Hey I had EMUI 4.0 so Android 6.0.1 installed. So I unlocked bootloader and installed twrp without doing a backup. But now there is a big problem. No custom Roms will ever boot. So I cant boot to any rom and don't have a backup.

Um, you did a clean install? I see you're from Germany, so I guess you're using KIW-L21 model, which is fully compatible with all ROMs out there (and it still didn't receive VoLTE update if I'm not wrong). Try clearing everything and flashing again, if not, restore stock recovery via fastboot and do a emergency reflash of full EMUI firmware.

Yes I did a clean install with Aosp Rom, LineageOS, Ressurection remix, XenonHD Rom but every Rom encpountered a bootloop where the animation ran for 10 seconds and then stopped. After that the phone rebooted and so on . And do you have a link for flashable L21 EMUI stock rom? And stock firmware only installable with stock recovery or TWRP?
I also encountered this situation, how to solve, help me! Thank you

Can't keep TWRP

So I've unlocked my bootloader and have been trying to install TWRP and try various ROMS. I've only tried paranoid android and Lineage 14.1. Lineage 14.1 doesn't work with gapps, and paranoid doesn't work with blueooth. So I'm going to the stock UK rom.
What I'd like to do is go with the stock UK rom, but I want TWRP too so I can flash things (like a debloat script.) However, whenever I install the UK ROM, twrp stops working. If I re-flash TWRP, the the phone gets stuck in a boot loop.

Which root thread are you referring to? I've seen quite a few and none of the ones I followed mentioned minimal adb. I'm using Flashtool on windows to flash the ROM and I'm using linux for fastboot, since it doesn't work on Windows for some reason and it's too much effort to troubleshoot when it works fine on Linux.

While flashing the ROM through flashtool, deselect option FOTA-KERNEL, this will keep twrp as your recovery.
Also you can use X-GEN Rom which is based on latest stock rom to flash it from TWRP instead of flashtool
Should I flash TWRP now and then re-flash the UK ROM?

while flashing stockrom, uncheck FOTAKERNEL.sin in FLASHTOOL FIRMWARE SELECTION PANEL.

Problem with flashing root (or anything else) after installing LineageOS

Dear XDA Experts!
As I was flashing on my Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Global (mido) LineageOS 15.1 step by step using instructions from LineageOS site I came up with a problem. Suddenly the the fastboot command didn’t “see” my phone. Before that when I was typing in the command prompt (as administrator) “adb devices” it said it found my phone. When I typed “fastboot devices” it turned out it didn’t “see” my phone so I couldn’t do the “fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img” command. However before fastboot stopped detecting my device I was able to do this command “adb reboot bootloader”. It turned out later that adb still was detecting my device but fastboot still was NOT detecting it.
So to flash TWRP on my phone I used a XiaomiFlashTool in which I could among other options choose to flash TWRP.
I selected this option, the XiaomiFlashTool that in order to even start and work needs access to the Internet it download the latest file twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img with TWRP for my device and flashed it.
Now, having the TWRP installed I flashed in TWRP the file containing the LinageOS and afterwards I flashed Gapps instantly with no reboot as it was written in the guide. Then I rebooted the device to normal system mode.
The LineageOS started for the first time, I configured it and Gapps were present.
Later I’ve chosen to root the phone so I booted to TWRP and selected Install to install Magisk17.2.zip but it didn’t work cause an error occurred “couldn’t mount /data”. It was all red.
When I try to do the same thing with superSu the same problem occurred.
Could You tell me what I did wrong?
And which drivers/install programs to use to repair or uninstall and install fastboot again so It can work cause there are so many of them and the LineageOS guide doesn’t cover that thing in 100% ?

I used the latest TWRP for mid (I saw when the XiaomiFlashTool was downloading the latest TWRP for mido).
May I ask why shall I use a Treble compatible since my Redmi Note 4 was manufactured in 2017 and came with not Oreo but with Nougat so it is not compatible with Project Treble from the start.
BTW Can You please direct me to that Treble compatible TWRP please?
BTW#2 The Xiaomi tool only flashes the latest TWRP .img for mido by downloading it from the internet (I can't change which TWRP will it flash).
BTW#3 The only thing I can think off to flash other TWRP is by fastboot but can You help me which or where to find it so I can uninstall current fastboot and install again or repair by installing again?

That's a great idea but sadly I can't flash TWRP anymore. I don't know what happened. The Xiaomi program I was using to do this suddenly stopped flashing it telling me that there's something wrong with drivers
When I do "fastboot flash recovery TWRPforMido.img" it "flashes" the file in less then a second and when I enter recovery I see the old Xiaomi 3.0 stock recovery.
I have the device unlocked, developer options with USB debugging are ON.
I'm compleatly idealess.

I've heard that Crdroid official
And Siberia os unofficial are the most stable pie ROMs
Make sure it twrp is treble supported becuz someone told that official twrp has no treble support that's the reason I use orange fox
If it ain't treble supported just flash orange fox from the same twrp
Do advanced wipe

Question I badly tampered my redmi note 10. Please Suggest me what can i do!

I was running stock MIUI with root and TWRP recovery. After flashing the Pixel Experience Android 11 ROM, I didn't flash TWRP again. I tried many attempts (I haven't mentioned everything here to keep the post shorter) to install TWRP again, and I managed to do it successfully once. However, now when I boot into TWRP and select the A partition, it can't decrypt with my password and reboots the system, always opening the bootloader. When selecting the B partition, if I format the data and flash Magisk, it opens up the system (it opens the bootloader without flashing Magisk). But after booting into the system, if I boot TWRP again and reboot into the system without doing anything, my settings app and Bluetooth stop working. Then I have to boot into TWRP again, format the data, and flash Magisk again to boot the system normally. I can't install any Magisk modules either. However, the root is working.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?"

flash stock miui according to your region with mi flash (don't lock the bootloader!)
this generally solves any problem and you can go back to custom roms after booting into miui.
Anyway , i recommend you to use the recovery provided with the rom itself as twrp can give issues sometimes.

Here's a complete explanation what I have done:
Initially, I was running stock MIUI with root access and TWRP recovery. However, I decided to switch to the Pixel Experience ROM. I downloaded the Pixel Experience Android 11 version and flashed it directly from TWRP since I didn't have access to a PC at that time. I only flashed the ROM file and didn't install the Pixel Experience recovery image, assuming that my TWRP would remain intact. But when I rebooted into recovery after the ROM installation, it booted into the Pixel Experience recovery instead. I couldn't find an option to flash the recovery image, only an option to apply an update through ADB sideload.
Fortunately, I managed to use a friend's computer and installed all the necessary ADB and Fastboot drivers. The computer could detect my phone in ADB sideload mode, but when I tried to boot into the bootloader, the PC couldn't detect my phone. Despite multiple attempts of booting into the Pixel Experience recovery and enabling ADB sideload, the PC couldn't recognize the fastboot mode. Strangely, every time I booted into the bootloader, my phone automatically powered off after displaying the Redmi logo. Holding the power button didn't help as it consistently powered off after showing the logo, without accessing the bootloader or recovery mode. I was afraid my phone had become completely unresponsive.
After numerous attempts, my phone unexpectedly booted into the bootloader again. This time, I connected my phone to another device using BugJagger, which successfully detected my phone. I used the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" followed by "fastboot boot twrp.img" to open TWRP. However, I couldn't decrypt it using my password. I then flashed TWRP again and tried to boot into the system, but it always reverted back to the bootloader. I went back into recovery, selected partitions A to B, and flashed Magisk ZIP, DM variety ZIP, and LazyFlasher ZIP (without fully understanding their purpose).
Finally, my phone successfully booted into the system. However, upon rebooting into TWRP and then rebooting the system without any changes, my settings app and bluetooth stoped working. To resolve this, I had to boot into TWRP once again, format the data, and flash Magisk to restore normal operation.

flash stock miui according to your region with mi flash (don't lock the bootloader!)
this generally solves any problem and you can go back to custom roms after booting into miui.
Anyway , i recommend you to use the recovery provided with the rom itself as twrp can give issues sometimes.

yes i think you messed up with your phone for real. there was a lot of things that was incorrect.
don't mess with the slots and don't flash things you don't know about... you can ask here if you have doubts...
follow my advice and reflash stock miui with miflash to start from 0
and don't do all those things again... once you are done with miui... just tell what do you want to do and we'll guide you properly

Who told you to flash DM Verity and Lazy Flasher
We don't need these things in our device
Don't mess up with Active Slot
If you try to change your Active slot into Inactive slot, once you Reboot to system, you will go straight to fastboot
You need Android Bootloader Interface to detect your phone in bootloader and ADB Composite to detect your phone in ADB, such as : Google USB Driver r13
Why you don't ask before doing anything, we have global community chat in telegram, for sure, we will help you in possible way
I assume you need back to stock rom to fix this issue
