Hi all, really need your help. 2 weeks ago I bought this device, before never used android. 3 days ago by connecting it to a computer, the Kies software has given the message
"that there is a new version", I agreed, and then device as if replaced, it start to work slowly stucking on some screens, such as phone book or phone itself, it gives a strange message, that he had to stop the work of a program. Then I tried to solve the problem, but everything i did not fixed the issue, I even think that made it worse. I did the following things.
I tried to root device, did it as it was written on some site, after a Odin has finished, I found SuperSu program, but SuperSu wrote that the binary ihe s not installed, checking the Root, no root access. 2 Performed Data factory reset twice did not helped, Performed to flash again the latest official firmware, but also did not helped, the problem not solved, Uninstall SuperSu. no longer know how else to help themselves, need professional help.
Please write me what should i do? how can return the previously firmware, or how to root it correctly and install new Rom.

Try Emergency Firmware Update in Samsung Kies, it will full format your phone and reinstall the stock version for your phone
Hi all xda-developers members,
My father has a GALAXY J5 (2016) WHICH IS SM-J5108, variant for Hong Kong and China. All of you guys and gals know that newer Samsung smartphones has three things called:
CROM SERVICES, which is allow you or not to install custom ROM
FRP LOCK, which is Factory Reset Protection. After doing a FR, the stupid thing asks you a Google account
KNOX WARRANTY
Recently, I am attempting to use TWRP custom recovery temporarily to install Google Apps provided by Open Google Apps and the recovery, TWRP, I mentioned is basic requirements. When I finished all procedure, I've encountered some problems. First the CROM services is cannot be regain back the locking status. Next FRP Lock possibly cannot be turned on again. Last KNOX Warranty who is general warranty which is voided and now I want to gain back for it.
For now, I want to restore these of defaults. YOU guys and gals what should I do for now??

Download your firmware and flash
You have to download firmware of your phone and flash it via Odin with download mode in your phone
We are in the same problem, have you had a solution ?, because the roms I have found are without googles services

Flash TGY Rom, this have GAPPS, bug: internal speaker don't work, with headphones work
I installed the official XEO (8.1.0) rom for the J530F by odina. Everything went smoothly, or after doing automatic tests, there is an error (software integrity - visit the service point).
In the appendix, the Play Store in Settings indicates that the device is not certified.
In the morning I installed the customroom (PrometheusOneUI) and then I removed it and installed the official 8.1.0.
After several attempts I installed 8.1.0 again but this did not solve the problem.
Samsung Members allegedly detected root access that was not installed unless it was in PrometheusOneUI.
I would ask for help and repair of this problem.
Hello,
Here is my problem.
2 days ago, I wanted to root my phone to get rid of any Google stuff (at this point I didn't know the existence of ADB commands :crying: ).
I followed a step by step youtube tutorial (youtube.com/watch?v=ZD-5twDm6XI), which works with TWRP, magisk and Odin (factory reset is needed).
Once everything is finished, my phone is finally rooted, and I grant superuser rights to Titanium app to uninstall google, and only SOME apps uninstalled totally (maps, chrome, facebook) BUT google play services won't uninstall. So, I try with System App Removal to uninstall google play stuff, and the same happens.
I reboot my phone, and it seems that everything disappeared... Not so sure... Indeed, the play store reinstall all applications as soon as I connect to the WiFi! and I have a persistent message "google play services stopped" that prevents me from browsing for example.
At this point, I use ADB commands, to remove anything which contains "com.blahblah.google.blahblah" and the play store (com.android.vending) with -k command. And it worked totally fine !!!!! I disconnect my phone, ready to backup my data. Idkw, i wanted to uninstall system app removal. IMPOSSIBLE from the phone, which says : "samsung One UI stopped" (I was in safe boot mode). My phone doesn't answer, so I reboot it.
Once it has booted, the TWRP menu screen appears. Ok, isn't that weird ? I swipe to allow changes, then I go to system to boot "normally" my phone.
A warning says : NO OS INSTALLED !!!! I don't understand, I panic, but finally boots my phone. Black charging screen. Forever.
I started first to flash an "official" Samsung ROM from Sammobile. TWRP indicates it is an invalid .zip, adb too. Odin doesn't manage to boot from the ROM too. I take a deep breathe and cry. Then I download the /e/ ROM which works fine !! but it has become impossible to backup my data from my samsung account....
So, I came to ask you a few things. WHY did it happen ? How can I be sure that there is no trace of TWRP anymore ? However, my phone storage is 64 GB and there is only 53,5 Gb free of internal storage !? Do you think the original firmware could be "hidden" in my files (e ROM is about 800Mos compressed) ?
It is stupid, but after my mistakes, I miss google...
I will do my best to reply asap.
Thank you for your help !

Google writes and distributes android.
There are many things in android that you cannot remove and still have a viable system.
imho you will have to flash a rom but we need your phones information (found in settings/system/about phone) model, version baseband, etc. etc
Others more knowledgeable can step in and help.

Thank you for your reply ! I've read your article about FRP but I'm afraid it's not my problem...
Here are some of my phone specifications :
model : SM-G950F
version baseband : G950FXXS8DTC1
OS : /e/ version 0.9-p-dev-dreamlte (LineageOS API : Ilama 9)
Android 9
I've been digging the web for ROMs but each time I feel unsecure about it (virus, etc...) so I hope maybe you have something trustworthy

I've been browsing through my root files and folders ( / ) ...
So :
/system is occupied with 2.33 GB
/vendor with 577 MB
/mnt with 9.01 GB
/proc with ... 236.9GB but every under-folder is empty... (explanations welcome !)
/storage is empty
If anyone could check on his device (S8 Exynos with android 9.0 Pie and One UI) if the files' sizes approximately matched, it would be great !
The one I just received is G950FXXS8DTC6 / G950FOXM8DTC1 / G950FXXS8DTC1 (after it took the Apr 1 update) so probably identical - a Yateley GU46 6GG UK phone. I am running it on ATT Prepaid(US) , which gave me the Apr 1 update. I don't know its history but it hasn't been modified - knox=0.
What you would need to do is get that zip and flash it with odin, but having no experience flashing the S8 myself, or any idea where to get that zip, I can be of no help to you. (I just came off a moto x4 which I ruined by flashing a couple custom rom's to try to help others on that forum - the blessings of Pie on that device!)(plus, taking the Apr 1 update on that phone requires a factory reset/wipe.) I needed a dependable phone here and in Europe on vacation.
Keep posting and ask someone to help you re-flash it.
EDIT: I wonder what a settings/general management/factory reset would do. But don't do one until someone here much more experienced with the S8 suggests it.
EDIT: WARNING WARNING WARNING -> Before flashing, ACTIVATE PIN in "Secure startup" (You'll be asked for it AFTER flashing!)
lockscreen and security / secure startup / require pin
I also see a note to delete your google account before doing this. Don't know if necessary.
EDIT: I believe I have found the rom - see pic This is from the SamFirm exe. 0.3.7 I put VOD for the region.
Remember: don't do anything with this until someone experienced in S8 tells you to!
Hi KrisM22,
I've already flashed with Odin, and I have talked about this on different forums, seen tutos on websites,... I hope this time it will work
I have the ROM required, selected activate pin, followed step by step the recommendations, and if I figured it out I will keep you up to date !

Excellent! What ROM did you flash it with?

I flashed a ROM from https://www.imei.info/download-firmware/samsung/samsung-g950f-galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/ , then I just followed the steps and flashed with Odin. TWRP has disappeared (the classic recovery menu came back). I think I have found my issue with the "no OS installed" bug : it could be because I deleted the essential API com.google.android.packageinstaller, what may have prevented the phone from booting and launching the OS and its apps .
I should have read this excellent post before...
*I ran antivirus analysis with virustotal and Bitdefender, which both declared the extracted files were safe : I didn't notice anything different by my phone compared to the original OS too, so...
