Hello guys i have a samsung galaxy s4 i9505 i ve rooted it , and installed clockworkmod and cyanogenmod but yesturday i was updating cyanogenmod and when i was to reboot the phone didnt boot only showed "Samsung Galaxy s4 " and stayed like that, i tried to delete dalvik cache, full wipe... and install a google edition rom, but it didnt boot again (i did try several times doing these with different roms and it didnt work), i downloaded my official Vodafone stock rom and try to flash it with odin, it started but it gave me an error (Write Operation failed), then i tried to boot up in recovery mode and it said to me (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.please select recovery mode in kies and try again) so i did it and it didnt detect me the device. (So I think what happened is that upgrading cyanogenmod it gave me an error and enabled the write protection, so then i tried to install official and it started and erased my custom recovery but then it gave me an error because i CANT flash an official rom because the Write Protection is enabled) PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I WILL APPRICIATED VERY VERY VERY MUCH THANKS

Hello, I have a Galaxy Grand Prime (Cricket branded) (SM-G530AZ), and I rooted using kingroot, then flash a stock kernel with Flashify, but I cannot install ANY custom recoveries whether it be with Flashify, Rashr, or even ODIN On PC Secure Check Fail: XXXXX and remote controls/reactivation lock are off), I've tried ones for the SM-G530AZ (Very hard to find) The SM-G530H (Grand Prime DUOS I believe?) and SM-G530FZ (Not sure) If anyone can help me out, any custom recovery will work. Also, if possible, at the moment, my device is doing the "Security Error yaddayaddayadda Contact Mobile Operator, saying RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and then SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY, and this happened with TWRP for 530H, so I just flashed stock recovery that i backed up with Flashify, and then i tried CWM, which auto loads upon boot, So if somebody could please provide me with an unmodified SM-G530AZ file, that would be swell.
TL;DR: Need help trying to flash a recovery after kingroot & stock kernel method and need an unmodified stock G530AZ recovery file.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Sincerely,
Austin
Edit: Decided to do Firmware Initialization, wish I would of had a backup :/ Samsung phones are usually easy to fix when not hard bricked, Just use Kies! xP
there is no working recovery for the SM-G530AZ yet, recovery for other models wont work. Think there is gonna be a recovery released pretty soon for this model.

Well, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this model will never get a custom recover, there is no way to oem unlock. Only thing you can do, is flash the de-bloated stock rom floating around here.
I have searched all over the web and this site for a tutorial or how to on rooting my S5 with the stock Marshmallow update. Most of the how to's are all outdated and I don't want to run into crashing my phone again by using anything outdated. I tried installing TWRP recovery or flashing it with ODIN and it didn't work. I had lollipop rooted before so I know I'm capable if I'm linked to the right tools. The way I did the Lollipop root was with TWRP and SuperSU but as I said before I couldn't get the recovery installed properly. It said pass in Odin but I got a bootloop and unstable phone so I prefer if someone knows the right tools and how to please clue me in.
Hi guys i need expert opinions as i am worried about my device. I have S5 Prime G906K with Marshmallow installed. The set is super fine. I wanted to root and flash custom recovery my S5 Prime. I followed the direction of Kyntik (recognized developer of TWRP for my G906 Device). The procedure was successful. Set rooted and recovery installed but two major issues which appeared were:
1) I tried to flash stock Samsung firmware for my model from Sammobile with latest provided ODIN on their site. ODIN failed and i was unable to boot. i tried to boot in recovery but it said UPDATE INTERRUPTED Try Kies etc. I tried again but ODIN Failed when writing System.imge. I tried it around 5 to 6 time and SUDDENLY entire .md5 file was flashed. I dont know what was worng? Have you guys ever faced this issue? if so what was your loophole how you managed to get out of it? Is it me or others have faced it if so tell me the possible reasons where i was wrong? I am asking this because i love trying different roms cooked for our devices but i am scared now.
2) After i rooted and installed twrp on my handset, it always displayed a yellow message on top left corner which said "SET BIT WARRANTY:KERNAL" And when i tried to boot recovery message used to be "SET WARRANTY BIT:RECOVERY.
Whats going on here? I have come back to samsung after 3 years of enjoying LG so i dont much about recent changes. Your opinions will clearify my in :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thank you but this was my method and as i mentioned i followed the procedure of Kyntik. I had no problem after installing twrp and getting rooted. Only problem i faced was while flashing stock firmware again now m confused was it caused by custom recovery or this was random error. fortunately ODIN flashed my set after trying it 8 times its working perfectly on stock. but i want custom roms thats why m cautious
Hello!
I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask, but I haven't found a section for a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active!
I am a complete newbie and haven't flashed to my phone since I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 back in 2018. In this case, I'm trying to find a root and install twrp recovery, so I can install lineageOS on my phone. The stock rom is so laggy!
My phone's recovery won't let me just install lineageOS, so I have to install a custom recovery.
So far, all the one-click roots haven't worked. Towelroot, kingsroot, oneclickroot, all failed.
The official twrp recovery didn't work either and did not give me a compatible rom.
I tried to locate an unofficial twrp recovery compatible with my device, and I think I found one. The issue is that it odin does not flash a .img file.
I'm going to try this method of downgrading the stock rom.
EDIT: Doing this gives me a SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Trying this now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-g870a-downgrade-s5-active-mm6-0-lp5-0.3523683/
EDIT: unsuccessful. Soft brick of OS; need to flash again or try something else...I tried to leave the phone out all night, but it never got past boot screen.
EDIT2: tired again and somewhat successful. Samsung boot screen is different and so is the boot recovery! The darn phone still won't boot though!!
EDIT3: Had to reboot the phone 3 times and got the android is upgrading screen...YAY!! But, the system process.media fails randomly.
Any tips? If I could just get twrp on, that would fix everything! Thank you!!
Found a supposedly compatible twrp here: https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-klte.img.tar.html
Issue is odin fails when flashing...I am getting the auth error!!

Hi, I am also looking to put LineageOS on my device as well.
The most I have found so far is the S5 Active (SM-G870A) has an OEM locked bootloader, and without unlocking it a custom recovery is not available.
AT&T, nor Samsung have provided any way to unlock the bootloader as far as I know, and I'm not sure if any developers are still working to crack it.
