How I root the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) (SM-J530F/DS). - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have this phone for 2 years. I tried to root in the past 5 months but no success because I flashed the TWRP recovery that i found in here but is for J5 2017 with Android 7, and mine have latest Android 9.
How I can find a recovery compatible with latest android 9? Thanks!
Sorry for bad grammar. I don't speak English mainly.
Edit: Edit: My phone still works now with latest stock android 9. But aparently the bootloader is so locked down even if I try to revert to android oreo it doesn't flash, only if i leave the phone full 7 days without disconnecting from sim network. Unfortunately i cannot maintain connected to celular sim( or whatever is called) because i live in vilage that i cannot catch good celular signal.
So for me, this phone is unrootable to me.
So. I'm done rooting!

When i did last time, it does boot in to recovery, when i wipe the data, cache, dalvik cache it doesn't want to wipe cuz is in read only , and when i boot normaly its doing boot loop and eventualy i kinda give up and flash the stock rom back.

As i can see your device has twrp, and many users faced same issue, what i'll suggest you now is flash this twrp from below guide, after that format data, wipe your system and flash any other pie rom which exist for your device with latest magisk... if the issue still exist you can pm me with the same

Well here i have solution:
NEW TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...twrp-samsung-j5-pro-twrp-3-1-10-v2-0-t3728233
STEPS:
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.

LG V10 don't start after trying to install TWRP

Hello, I wanted to root my new LG V10 phone, H960A european model.
So I had to install to install twrp.
First I unlocked the bootloader, using the lg official tutorial, then I use adb to flash twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.
After that, I turned off the v10 and tried to restart to recovery by pressing power and volume down, then release when the lg logo appears, and finally press again. But it didn't work, I think because of a message that appears after I unlock the bootloader that say "Your device software can't be checked for corruption" with an orange warning triangle. After this the phone start normally, then it start to optimize the app but when the optimization is end, the phone make the lg power on sound and restart, then do the same things again and again. Also, he occasionally make a sound and viber but not always.
I don't now what to do because I can go to recovery, or download mode plus I can't use the adb orders because my computer don't found the device.
So if anyone have and idea of how to solve that problem.
Thanks for your time.

Hello.
You have to flash TWRP one more time, then pull out battery. Put it in and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again. You have to do everything on time.

Hello, I flashed TWRP again, and try to access to recovery like you said, but it didn't work. I don't think I'm doing the manipulation to go to the recovery wrong because I do the same thing on my G3 and it's working. But it's strange because I'm suppose to got to the factory reset menu but I didn't.

I buy it on Amazon, from a Portuguese sealer. For the bootloader I think it's successful, the adb command to verify if the bootloader was unlocked returned yes.
PS : I don't now if it is useful but the update to android 6.0 wasn't working on the phone directly, I had to use LG Bridge.

Help installing TWRP to h850 in 7.0

I installed it with the command and when I go to the Erase and wipe data screen and press "yes" to everything, shows "erasing" and, of course, my phone erased all my data. I tried it a few times, so I don't want to lose my data again. So, there is anyone with h850 rooted?

Read what is under step 9 and if you want to flash twrp and root it you will need to delete your data atlest once just save a backup and back it all up again after finishing. You have to unplug the usb cable and take out the battery and then hold volume down and the power button as soon as you see the LG logo you let go of the power button and then press it again right away then continue to hold volume down and the power button untill you see a screen (you hold the volume down while letting go of the power button at the lg logo) When you see the screen you just navigate using the volume keys and the power button to "yes" on both of the options then it will enter recovery mode. (You dont need to hold anything after that screen comes up)

It's OEM unlock under developer options. Make sure the toggle is on (lit up blue, toggle is on the right), if it isn't you'll bootloop.
yes i know, but how i can unlock the bootloader also with odin?
adiJ5FN THANKS!!!
Works fine. If someone get bootloop due later locked OEM, you can repair it by install full original rom in download mode (Power+Home Vol down) via ODIN.
Some original firmwares are there: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j3/SM-J320FN/
Which TWRP is this one?
Oh, 3.0.2-1.
OEM mode enabled
Odin recognize device and put attached TWRP as a recorevery (TAR file given in AP section)
But, when i want to launch TWRP, i see stock recovery...
I root many galaxy devices in past, first time with this problem
Somebody can help?
Did ODIN tells "PASS" in green after the twrp flash?
" Once the setting up of Odin is done as per your requirements, click Start and the flashing process will be started. Your device will start automatically after the process is finished, and a “Pass” notification on green background will be shown on the top left corner."
Perhaps not real flashed because some errors (check the text log for succeed 1 / failed 0 - means OK )?
Hi
i'm also getting the stock recovery screen. If you select "load from external storage" then at least i can see the SuperSU zip file to install. But installing that did not root the phone when i do a "root checker" test

I had the same problem with a J320FN. Solved by means of a factory reset before installing TWRP (EDIT: maybe factory reset wasn't the key for a successful flash of TWRP, but unflagging the "Auto reboot" option in Odin should be):
- enabled debug mode and oem unlock from developer settings
- (probably unnecessary) reboot in recovery mode (standard recovery), factory reset + cache clear
- switched off, then booted in download mode (VolDown + Home + Power)
- started ODIN on PC, loaded TWRP with "AP" button, unflagged "Auto reboot" option in Odin
- flashed TWRP
- switched off the device by pressing VolDown + Power for few seconds
- rebooted in recovery mode (VolUp + Home + Power), TWRP started
- flashed SuperSU
Hope this helps

Once you have done the installation of twrp, you can try using POWER,HOME and VOLUP (Instead of VOLDOWN). This could be the problem if you are pressing volume down it still brings you to the stock recovery.

I had the same problem with a J320FN. Solved by means of a factory reset before installing TWRP (EDIT: maybe factory reset wasn't the key for a successful flash of TWRP, but unflagging the "Auto reboot" option in Odin should be):
- enabled debug mode and oem unlock from developer settings
- (probably unnecessary) reboot in recovery mode (standard recovery), factory reset + cache clear
- switched off, then booted in download mode (VolDown + Home + Power)
- started ODIN on PC, loaded TWRP with "AP" button, unflagged "Auto reboot" option in Odin
- flashed TWRP
- switched off the device by pressing VolDown + Power for few seconds
- rebooted in recovery mode (VolUp + Home + Power), TWRP started
- flashed SuperSU
Hope this helps

worked for me, i mean i had same issues like some of the posters but removing the auto reboot worked, vol+/home/power brings twrp ok.
I have this problem: link2sd does not work, the system does not allow link2sd to recognize the ext4 partition on start-up, I have to restart a second time.
I execute the guide for the root and the phone is ok.
Where is the problem?

xperia x 5121 bricked

Hello everybody,
I recently got a second hand xperia X, which came with 34.3.A.0.228. (7.1.1) first thing was unlock the bootloader following sony developer world. Everything went nice and smooth, but when I rebooted it does normally, but it freezes 20 sec after. Did not save DRM keys (huge mistake).
Following sony, I went to pcCompanion, and tried to restore the system. PcCompanion asked me to relock the bootloader, which I did with flashtool. then I restore teh system with pcCompanion, getting the version 34.3.A.0.238 installed
The phone continued freezing like it did before, but now the problem is that, I can't check 'debugging', 'oem unlock' and ' allow uknown sources'. Whichs leads me to the point, where I can dot nothing.
I've read several posts but, I do have to admit that after 8 years flashing androids (g1, magic, vision, lg g2) this is the first time I got lost.
Many thanks,
Rai
Just reflash it with flashtool.
I wanted to apolozyse for my poor english first. Flashtool ask me to 'allow unknown sources', 'oem unlok', on the phone. But I can't access the menu, because the phone gets into boot loop, right after flashing it with pcCompanion. So, for me that means, no flashtool can be used for that poupose.
Would, using adb, trying to flash recovery, with modified kernel, be helpful?
Many thanks,

If you are able to install twrp, then download any custom roms and try to install it.
Teach me To lock bootloader F5121 Please
Thanks
Flash tool should still work if you boot in flash mode. If it doesnt then the phone is probably RIP.

To clarify, you should be able to power off your device by holding down vol up + power. It will vibrate once, then 3 times. After the 3rd vibration the device is off. Then go to Flashtool, I recommend using one of the Marshmallow firmwares. Click flash, select your firmware. Once it drops back to the status messages hold your vol down button and connect your USB. If it's still not working make sure you have the USB driver also installed for flash mode. This may require you to re-install it or use one of the basic Google fastboot drivers. Good luck! Please let everyone know if you were able to fix it. Your DRM keys are probably lost forever though.

Yes indeed, I was able to install twrp 3.1 recovery, and flash Pexorom. Getting the same result: Phone boots, but freezes right after. No matter what I do, Pccompanion, emma, flashtool... I am always getting same result.
One thing that caught my eye, is that, if I flash the rom through recovery with no MD5sum verification, it finishes nice and smooth, although the phone does not work, however, if I check MD5sum verification, the flash stops at some point, giving an error.
I will dig into flashtool and drivers on Monday, I hope I did not went too further already by installing twrp, and it can be reversible.
All this headache started right after unlocking the bootloader, so maybe, there is something wrong with drivers or so, that damaged the phone. So far I have a Eur 200 brick on my desk.
Many thanks.
I just flashed the rom pexorom, with zip signature verification, and gives the following error: 'zip signature verification failed! Error installing zip file '/external_sd/pexorom v1.0.0.zip'
this is what I get, by flashig with twrp 3.1.0.
Could you recomend me a MM rom?
Thanks in advance.

Just untick zip verification tickbox while installing and tell us the results. Btw v4.0.0 is the newest one
if I untick verification code, the whole flashing process goes nice and smooth. but the result is an endless bootloop.
Hi,
I did the same thing, got a used xperia x and went straight to unlocking bootloader, etc. I did all the same things as you. I'm still stuck in this endless bootloop as well, where your last post ended. I've been doing this custom rom stuff for 5 years, never bricked anything.
Did you manage to get it working again? How did you do it?

Hello,
my English is no better than yours, don't worry .
Try this way out - turn off your phone (if it's possible), connect it to the PC, then press and hold Power and Volume Up. The phone should boot into e-Recovery (in normal circumstances, it may not work in your case). Use "Emergency backup" option.
IMO there's no other way to save your data in internal storage.

P.S.: The last chance is to completely discharge the battery. Sometimes it helps.
I can't help you anymore bro.

Dude, I know how to use dload method , but you wrote "don't want go into recovery and in others mode" , it means you can't boot into Recovery mode (correct me...)
I'm not sure I fully understand your questions...

it seems you don't know how to enter Recovery and eRecovery on EMUI 9 (with all due respect). Google it and try again.
---------- Post added at 23:30 ---------- Previous post was at 23:16 ----------
And keep in mind, since EMUI 8 you can flash via dload method Service ROM only. Service ROM can be found here:
https://androidhost.ru/search.html
Type ANE- or ANNE- .
Select only ROM for your region (Cxxx) and current EMUI version. Follow instructions (can be found in file ReleaseDoc after .zip archiv unpacking.

Yes, the process will erase all your data.
....
The first step is to determine which variant of your device you are on. The first section e.g. “ANE-LX1” is your model number, the middle “9.1.0.178” is the build number, and the bracketed (C432, C185 etc etc) is your device’s regional variant. This number is very important in determining the correct firmware to download!
do you remember your build number?
