Reboot System now

Reboot to bootloader

view recovery logs
Enable cp logging
Disable cp logging
I have no idea what to do or how to fix this as i am a complete novice when it comes to Android,
Can someone please help me??

Go to sammobile .com firmware section
Enter your model S5
Select your region from the dropdown
Download a stock ROM (Free account needed)
Flash with ODIN
Instructions and links to ODIN under the download
Next time, come to XDA to learn how to root, instead of afterwards when you've already bricked it

Thanks for your quick reply and in the process of downloading firmware now and have just installed odin,
Yep your right mate i should have done bit more research before jumping into rooting it

For rooting

The one linked for the G900F works for Lollipop (Same one I use each new ROM update)

Downgrade to Marshmallow

Hello Friends, I just upgraded my Zenfone 3 ze520kl to Nougat, but i prefer Marshmallow i try from recovery mode to flash Marshmallow, it shows error and the installation aborted. Can any one help . Thanks.

What error does it show?

Error with some numbers follows by 'install aborted'. I unable remember the error numbers. I did three times all the time with same remark.Thanks.

That's not very helpful. Can you try it again and tell us exactly what it says?

Hi,
I downgraded a few days ago, here's an overview of the steps.
WARNING, this requires a factory reset so you will lose the data on the phone, so make sure you have backups before you proceed. You do this at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages.
I assume you have adb / drivers all configured and know to how use them.
1) download firmware file http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE520KL/UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip and save to SD card / insert card in phone.
2) download recovery and boot img files for Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
- https://mega.nz/#F!ok0V0RIA!5WKtHe98opzjVI3NPbM7Ww
- under the folder Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
3) Go to fastboot mode (power + vol up)
- flash recovery.img (command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- flash boot.img (command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4) reboot to recovery (power + vol down)
5) install update form micro sd card.
set the file UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip that you saved earlier
6) wipe cache
7) factory reset
If you don't do a factory reset and reboot, Android pretty much crashes on multiple processes on start up, it is unusable.
Regards,
TK

Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.

Same thing happened to me as well. I just went ahead to flash the RAW file (http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/12/asus-zenfone-3-raw-firmware-and-asus.html) and updated the software to the latest marshmallow update, followed by a factory reset.

If we Downgrade
Then we get update in future yes or no??
Sorry for bad English??

Yes.

Hi, thanks for the help. Please answer this:
Do I need to use Recovery and Boot.img the same version of ROM? Why?
Why do I need to install Boot.img?

1)To be say honestly downgrading is not officially supported by Samsung also But yes you can successfully downgrade to 6.0.1 from 7.0 (I personally downgraded to 6.0.1 once successfully due to issues on stock 7.0)
2)You only need to follow the guide as instructed carefully Also the version of 6.0.1 MM you will choose to downgrade to should be latest dated (I mean the latest 6.0.1 firmware for your device and country available on Sammobile.com casually)
3)Hence you can find some instructions within my own Post in which i mentioned step by step installations instructions (Go To Page No 65 And Find My Post In Reply To Okiera29 There Regarding Downgrading To MM From Nougat)

Ok thank you for your reply, I understand. I also had some trouble with drk verity fail issue when I factory reset because I run into issue with my efs, it was failing to boot ,but after searching the internet I found out how to fix the efs issue and then I flash stock over and then run into trouble with drk verity fail issue, but found a script to bypass this error ,but I read that whenever I flash or factory reset I will run into this drk verity fail issue again, so I must flash this script to bypass this error.
So my question after all i have explain is, will it be a problem to downgade to 6.0 because of those previous issues ?

1)Can't say exactly without trying or downgrading firmware as i said already neither samsung nor any community will officially support downgrading of firmware as it may cause various baseband and imei related issues due to downgrading of bootloader
2)But for safety you can take full Nandroid backup of your current stable rom using TWRP and Try to downgrade firmware at your own risk
Regards

What version of Smart Switch offers initialization for SM-N920C Note 5's? The latest version doesn't include initialization anymore at all, and an older version I tried stated that initialization was not supported for Note 5's.

All right, I'll see what i do.
Thank you very much.

[GUIDE] Root For Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro SM-J530F

Here's another rooting guide for SM-J530F/DS (Dual Sim) stock ROM. Even with Lineage OS my hardware model (ordered March 2018, EU SIM card only) tends to mute the main speaker after rooting. This rooting method works for me and is based on the work of others, especially ananjaser1211 and Abdullah_a86.
Make a backup of everything and make sure that the backup is usable. You are responsible if following this description and flashing bricks your phone. It did work for me which does not mean that it also works for you.
Enable Developer options. (Settings, About phone, Software information, tap a few times on Build number)
OEM unlock the phone. (Settings, Developer options, OEM UNLOCK: enable - otherwise you will bootloop)
Reboot into download mode.
Flash J530F_TWRP_3.2.1.0.tar (in AP) with Odin.
Now TWRP is installed and you should be able to use your phone as usual or to boot into TWRP recovery.
Rooting will erase everything, verify your backup again unless this is a new phone.
Reset the phone. (Open Settings, About Phone, (Looking for something else?) RESET, Factory data reset, Reset, DELETE ALL)
Reboot into recovery, a cleanup script will run and reboot after a few seconds.
Reboot into recovery again, install SuperSu and reboot (wipe nothing).
Starting takes a little time, after running the initial setup SuperSU is installed and the speaker works as expected.
I started here a few times after no-sound, no-root and/or bootloop experiences with LineageOS, CF-Autoroot and Magisk. If you upgrade to this firmware version you can no longer downgrade to a previous firmware version. Follow this only if you break something, want to un-root, update your firmware and/or start from scratch:
Force a reboot if necessary and then boot into download mode. All data on the phone will be lost.
Flash the J530FDBT2ARB3 firmware with Odin (AP*, BL*, CP* and CSC*. Do not use HOME_CSC*).
Now you have again a phone with stock firmware without root.

I think this might fix you booting into download mode problem try this post. Read "how to fix" near the bottom. Please Thank us if it does. This same thing happened to me and I wish I stumbled across this earlier because I figured this out on my own by just messing around going from recovery to download mode and it eventually fixed itself.

Is there anyway to Root a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P) that has 8.0 on it?

I normally do the research myself and finally after a week i give up and can't find any sure way to do it. I've tried some stuff on Odin but get a fail message. I've rooted other phones before using Odin years ago, but this phone has been giving me lots of trouble. I have a Galaxy S7 with boost mobile. IT's a SM-G930P and awhile ago i updated it to 8.0 when it came out. Is there any way i can get TWRP on it or just anything at all?

Have you made sure FRP lock is disabled by ensuring enable OEM unlock is enabled in developer options in the phone settings? That will block flashing custom binaries (files) to the phone via ODIN download mode.
Steps below require factory resetting your phone so backup your data if you need to in advance.
I root most Samsungs with the following steps:
- Tap Build Number 7 times in settings > about phone > software info > build number to unhide developer options
- Enable OEM unlocking
- Reboot to download mode
- Flash TWRP custom recovery via ODIN that is compatible with your device and Nougat / Oreo
- Boot custom recovery, flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip, factory reset phone (optionally format data partition)
- Install / flash the SuperSU (version SR3 for example) via TWRP recovery to root your phone.
- Reboot phone and wait.

Thanks for the response. I think the issue from what i read is that TWRP can't be put on the SM-G930P, something about the bootloader being locked. I tried another method on here and had to end up wiping my phone since it bricked. It looks like my type of phone can't be rooted from the methods i've seen on here.
