It is possible to flash" i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5" and then install "YourZgappsXS-4.2.2-2013.05.15" then you have Play Store
works but the Gmail account no works.

Yesterday i've flashed I9502ZNUEMK2 through ODIN.
I couldn't find a way to rrot, in fact, the problem i guess it was the Knox.
I flashed back to I9502ZNUCMG2 thorugh ODIN and flashed the SVA 2.5 in TWRP.
I'll try again later. With no root it's useless, i can't get gapps and change the samsung apps.

Try to flash the custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.1 for I9500
and by recovery when you reboot, it ask you if you want to root, so you can root it, but, the 4.3 is not without mistakes, not all the apps function, but try it maybe you find other possibility to make better.

Could not agree more, 4.3 is not stable at all, and if you upgrade , downgrade is NOT POSSIBLE .. all guys must take care here. i have also notice all attempts to put CWM would crropt the system and you will end up getting upgrade error on your i9502 screen. the only way to revive it again is to reflash 4.3 again.
Are you sure TWRP 2.6.3.1 for I9500 does work with I9502 4.3 rootted ?
Is it possible to flash google play 4.2.2 or there is another version available for 4.3 ?
Thanks in advance, we want to make this thread reference for others

Yes you are right, it is not possible to turn back to FW 4.2.2
and I tried again to root with TWRP2.6.3.1 but it was no possible, I think I had luck one time, but anyway this rom 4.3 is not perfect, many apps like Copilot, SwiftKey Keyboard and more... are no working, I hope they make update soon and someone find a root...

Tanks
Thanks :laugh:

Hi, you don't have all language, but after root you install from Play store the app"Language Enabler and you will have all the language.
The Stock rom, you can have from Sammobile, you must register and download.

Hello
I got a i9502 from etota**, got 4.3 and it's rooted but it's done bad. Gapps gots error all the time but the main problem is NFC does not turn on. I replace the battery but it not help. I think its caused by a bad root, but reflashing to stock 4.3 and then to SV* Rom do not help.
Second problem battery drains very quicky, 2-3 % when not using, 2 sims working, 1 google account.

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

[Q] dm-verity verification failed in recovery

(My phone is still running stock room, rooted, and with twrp)
So I was just about to flash a custom rom on my note since I learned that I can flash some t-mobile rom on my canadian (Bell) variant if I also flash a certain kernel(Only AEL and star[sumtin] I think) .
When I go to my recovery, I see on the bottom of the screen: dm-verity verificatoin failed.
I did a lot of research and didn't found anything, except some vague mention of that when bootloop are occuring.
So I don't know what I should do, if I can still flash anything without any worries, or should I unroot my note and flash the stock unrooted rom?
Can I still continue what I was doing and flash the custom rom and kernel I wanted to flash?
Another small question: I remember before rooting my note I had a software update available. I decided to root it first thinking I could do the update after (stupid I know), but I couldn't no more (I got a message about using a modified version or something like that). Is it important? Should I unroot my note, update the stock software, then root it again? And I guess if I flash another custom rom it's insignificant right?
thanks in advance! If I'm posting that because I really searched and found nothing satisfactory and clear, also bear with me I'm not perfectly bilingual.
It sounds like the custom rom you downloaded got corrupted, or just isn't compatible with your device. Try downloading again, and see if that works.
As for the update, now you are rooted you can no longer get any OTA updates. Most if not all custom roms will be using the latest builds. If you want to flash a completely stock (updated) rom, sammobile.com is where you need to be. But you will have to root the device afterwards.

Same problem for me. Was on completely stock rom until today but hated the lack of control so tried a custom rom. I've been a flashaholic for years so thought I'd have no problem but how wrong I was. First I tried TWRP recovery several times but kept getting stock recovery. I then tried Philz CWM but got even more problems including "dm-verity verification failed". I am fairly new to KitKat as I tried it on my note 1 but didn't like it. I am really angry that the stock rom prevents me installing bloatware and restricts access to my Sd card.
Have now managed to root and install clockwork mod and Echo rom and all seems to be working now

That´s what I finally did. Couldn´t resolve it in any other way.
After that I installed TWRP instead of CWM and also used another root-method as before. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2oOvf5tOCY) Since then the problem is gone.
Do you think I can just run Odin and install twrp without refreshing to stock rom first?
I dint even know if it's possible to switch to twrp after installing cwm without A fresh start lol
Might give it a go when I have a few hours to re set up the phone haha
Thanks for your help though!

I don´t know whether you can flash twrp after installing cwm, but I doubt it would solve your problem anyway.
Well, you could try. In the worst case you can still go back to stock.

Another thing you could do is, ask Rkrishnamurthy from this thread, what he finally flashed on his 910G-model? http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=325832927
He might have flashed the N910F-recovery on his N910G.
Or ask Aamirleo55 from this thread, what he did with his N910G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...rp-2-8-1-0-t2923509/post56392220#post56392220
Sorry, that´s all that comes to mind for now.
Yea i was thinking about giving the 910F Recover a go... but its a bit risky hahaha
The link to the first thread doesnt work but i did message aamirleo55.
Thanks for all your help again man. I feel like such a noob right now haha
I reflashed last night to stock. and then re-rooted, and installed CWM. But after i do all the SUPERSU updates and Xposed Framework, my DM Verity Fails again!!!
This really suck, because essentially i wont be able to backup, restore and flash my phone like i use to on the note 3......
I seriously hope 910F TWRP recovery is the answer.

Ok
So I decided to download the latest CF Auto root and I found that the TRLTEDT corresponds with the SM-N910G - http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
TRLTEDT correspondents to the India TWRP recovery - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/266
SM-N910G also corresponds to India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and obviously Australia (where i am based) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/galaxy-note-4-versions-cpu-t2883741
So in theory i should probably use that one.
What do you think man?

Sorry for the bad link. I tried to find it again, but also couldn´t. If you wanted, you could still send him a private message.
When I had the DM-verity issue, I also reflashed to stock, installed CWM and rooted again, and got the same problem again. Just as you. Only when I used TWRP it worked for me and the DM-verity problem didn´t occur since then.
For backup you could at least make a Titanium-backup, which in the paid version even allows you to create a flashable .zip-file from all your backupped apps & settings. This is a very convenient way of re-installing everything, almost like a nandroid-backup.
Or if you are brave enough you could try flashing TWRP-recovery directly over your current CWM. I don´t know whether that works, but as long as you can get into download-mode, you will always find your way back to stock.

I actually soft bricked my phone a couple days after i got it by accidentally converting certain system apps to user apps..... (idiot). Fixed the problem by flashing stock firmware and then re rooting. So i have some experience fixing this haha but hopefully i don't have to and report some good news.
Ill get back to this thread within the next 24 hours with results.

Mate! It worked.
So for anyone with DM-Verity Verification failed, simply install the appropriate TWRP recovery over it and it will fix your problem.
also SM-N910G is compatible with the TWRP Recovery for Inidia (even though it does not say it is)
So hap this fixed my problems and big thanks to Parinibbana for all the assistance.

I had rooted the I9192DDUCNL1 firmware available for India with KingRoot. Not sure about I9192DDUCOF2.
To all who managed to root this phone, did anyone manage to flash anything on it (custom recovery, custom ROM) or are you still running the stock firmware?
To anyone using safestrap, how is that working out, regarding speed, stability etc?
Sorry if off-topic here.
kingo root dont full root, can you update binarys?

As you already said. Fist of all you need root permission on your device. But because you already installed 5.1.1 via OTA I'm afraid your device is "locked down". If KingRoot isn't able to root 5.1.1, then there is no easy way to get root on your device. In this case you have to downgrade first via Flashtool. Or you could unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel which has twrp integrated. But keep in mind that you will loose your drm keys this way.
BTW: I wouldn't use KingRoot even if it is able to root your device, because I don't trust this app....
Thnx mate for your reply
OK I will downgrade my tablet to 5.0.2
But I need you plz to point where I get my previous Android
And if I flashed it with flashtool all my data will be gone?!
Then I will root my tablet again then flashed this stock in this thread, am I right?!
And btw, why you didn't trust kingroot app, it's working with my tablet just fine! ?

Try this FTF:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...ny-xperia-tablet-z.457524/page-3#post-7918151
After that, use XZDR (TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from here:
http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Use Option 3 from Installer, which will use an root-exploit, that is still available in .230 Firmware.
In newer Firmwares this option isn't working anymore and you need to root by your own first.
And finally flash this PreRooted Image via TWRP or CWM

Depends on which Options you use to flash. If you exclude Data-Partition, then Data will be still there. But booting KitKat-Firmware with Lollipop-Data will not work or at least will screw up everything. So in the end you would need to wipe data anyway. (Be aware that flashing FTF including Data-Partition will also wipe internal storage / internal sdcard)

Well, there are mainly two things:
1. It needs a internet connection for rooting (who knows which data is send to them ...)
2. It isn't always providing a full working root, which is not very nice for devolpers and users, because their apps/packages maybe don't work properly...
Thank you Mcbane87
Well,I already downgraded my TabZ SGP321 and flashed kitkat 4.4.4 with build number 10.5.1.A.0.283 via flashtool like you said, even I got many failed steps at the beginning but I did it
Then I rooted my tablet using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/development/root-sp321-ftf-10-5-1-0-283-t2873377
So what to do next?! and I had another couple of questions please:
1- I am from Egypt so when looked into this firmware I didn't find Arabic language, is that Normal and how I get Arabic language
2- why I feel that kitkat is much better than lollipop and much easier and battery life is much better while I am playing my game with charger connected still battery going low slowly ?
Note: I am using root only to use Xmod for playing Clash Of Clans :laugh:!
I flashed it, seemed all ok, but:
no root, no recovery? no SuperSu in my Apps, I failed to enter recovery. What did I do wrong? what to do now?

you must reflash a rooted Firm(like 230) with flashtool.
Starting enable debuging and install nuts recovery 2.870 with option 1.
Then reboot and hold volume down when the green light on and you are only in TRWP mode.
Flash the 5.1 from sd1 and all was good.

It's faster to flash .230 .ftf stock unrooted, install recovery with option 3 and after that flash what you need from TWRP.
Well it's an easy, I flashed this stock via twrp and I used root checker to be sure that's my tab is rooted but I didn't find supersu!
Is this normal or i did something wrong?!!!

if SuperSu is incorporated into a ROM, it can sometimes be hidden in Developer Options. Failing that, just install it from the Play Store.
Yes i downloaded it form Google play and all set, thanks bro

In short xposed framework is just an addition to the in-built framework of your ROM. It helps you to customize your ROM for personalization and adding extra features to your device. Try googling xposed framework and keep working on it to get deeper knowledge about its modules and stuff.
But, make sure you know how to recover your device from bootloop and softbrick before installing the xposed framework. :good:

I wrote that already. Install XZDR then install this ROM.
But looks like you already managed it yourself

Could be possible, because this is ROM was created from Sony for Germany. Maybe they didn't integrated Arabic language and letters.

Didn't made that much comparison with TabZ, but on my Z1c I can confirm that some things are better with KitKat like bluetooth (only 5.02...didn't testet 5.1.1 till now) and other things like touchscreen response (phantom touching) is better in lollipop. Concerning batterylife I didn't saw any difference.
Well and the design / functions of lollipop are a question of personal liking. I personally hate the new LockScreen and its notification behaviour.
I would be happy finding a xposed module which would bring back old lockscreen on Lollipop, but I'm afraid this isn't that easy....
Well, I am big fan of Sony, I got Sony Xperia Z and I love lollipop in it and btw I have installed stock firmware prerooted as well
But frankly I am preferring kitkat in my tablet it's looks much better and easier
Anyway thank you for your helping bro

Did you try Gravity Box LP and Serajr Xperia™ Xposed (LP)? They will definitely help to change the look of Sony LP. Work good on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1

Galaxy Grand prime SM-G530F reboot after root

I'm new to rooting, and have rooted my phone using KingoRoot from my P.C.
It works fine, but when I reboot, it reboots into recovery mode which then allows me to reboot normally.
I surfed some of the forums to find a solution to this and found a common answer which I tried.
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe partition/cache
3) Reboot
This I did, but it has not resolved the issue.
Android 4.4.4
Build KTU84P.G530FXXu1AOE2
Kernel 3.10.28-599907 [email protected] #1
I have now done this twice to ascertain that the issue has not been fixed and am loath to carry on lest I brick the phone - of course, there is the other reason, setting it up from new every time is a real drag.......

Thanks for your response, I'll have a look at flashify, will it unroot the phone?
O.K. Had a look, have installed, will look for some tutorials before I use it !
I cannot find a download link for the correct build number and even when I go to download by country/carrier it is not listed.
TWRP has no listing for it, and neither does CWM. PHILZ just doesn't go there...
I suspect that it is already somewhere on the phone since it is "stock" but after having looked, I am unable to find it.
Any suggestions ?
I might can upload mine kernal, but it's 5.1.1, if you want to use my kernal you have to upgrade to 5.1.1 lolipop. If you want to do that pls let me know I will teach you how to.
Yes, Lollipop will be fine !

My phone is already rooted and has been rebooted a few times since then.
So, what now ?
So, I downloaded samsung Kies 3.2 (latest) and connected the phone, no problem there.
When I click initialise upgrade, Kies stops responding.
Downloaded Kies 3.1 - same thing.
According to Samsung update, there is no upgrade for my phone to 5.1.1. Are you sure that this is possible. You said that you would teach me, but you have really not told me anything !

First, the grand prime is able to update to 5.1.1 lolipop, I'm sure because mine is on 5.1.1. Go to Settings -> About phone, on the top you can see a option to update your phone. After update your phone go download kingroot and flashify. After you root your phone , use flashify to flash the kernal back to stock one. I will upload stock kernal soon.

Have you reboot yet? If you do and still works fine that's means you are good.
Problem is resolved !
I have resolved the issue myself.
It appears as if all I needed to do was remove the battery for a short period of time.
The phone now boots correctly and I have not lost my root access !
