I tried flashing TWRP image for J500H via Odin but it showed passed in Odin but the Recovery wasn't installed
(Pardon my noob questions. I've been around android development for the past few years. I am basically a Sony and Pixel user never used or worked for any Samsung devices before)

Well you have to watch videos on YouTube to prevent brick your phone!
For twrp installing:use the latest version of twrp and don't forget that untick auto restart at odin
When it passed on odin unplug your phone from pc anf get out your battery and after 5sec put it in.and try to go to twrp by volume up+home+power
Good luck

Sorry to bother you again but does the Camera get lost after unlocking the bootloader (like we do in Sony)?
Cause I am seeing, "error, camera is being used by another application"

Feel free bro..i will always be happy if i can help
No bro we don't have such thing at samsung
Unlocking bootloader is just a option that you can install custom rom without any issue
BTW:where you got that error?
SCS and and your phone model and what app do you use would may be helpful

The problem occurred after unlocking. And the toast notification showed, "Unable to open camera, camera is being used by another application". (Sorry I couldn't grab an screenshot. I thought it was hardware side problem but I checked it. Even if was the rare camera issue then the front camera should work. The flashlight isn't working too,)
I forgot to backup the stock ROM and lost it on ROM installation but after installing ROMs, same issue. I tried 3 ROMs, A8 Port, LineageOS 16 and currently on EvoX.
Tried different camera apps , tried WhatsApp camera also, no luck..
Even CPU-Z isn't recognising the Camera.
The device model is J53gxx.
I flashed TWRP exactly as you said.

My advice would be flash stock ROM through Odin and start all over again.
Boot stock rom and make sure camera and flashlight works, then enable oem unlocking and USB debugging and install twrp and a new rom.
If that doesn't solve the issue then it may be hardware related.
Also you could get a log of trying to open camera app and post it here.

That is fine my friend just a matter of time there are many things I too donno and take my other expert help
And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

Yes, mate! I actually using no bloatware app to
Remove those many apps that actually safe to remove
But the boot loop when we turn off the phone ourselves
and when turn it back, it stuck seems no way to pass samsung logo. Maybe I underclocked the phone and it causing the phone to fail to boot past?? I am right or not

No you don't have to its already unlocked

That process caused my little old device hard brick one time.

Bootloops are mainly caused by system files interfering with each others which cause instability and/or crash at the boot sequence. :good:

Hi, The you find the solution because i have the same problem, please help me

the front facing camera isnt working

Okay ...when I open the camera app (especially when I open it from the lock screen) it says "can't connect to camera" its very annoying and I have to reboot to use it .. I searched in Google about it and most of the threads says that this problem is from the 4.2.2 .. I hope that it from the software not from the hardware ...
CHANGED THE TITLE AND THE THREAD>>> the front camera isnt working i reflashed the rom and flashed cyanogenemod 10.1 and its still not working .when i enter the camera and switch from rear to front the app isnt responding and when i close it and open it ... the app says "cant connect to camera" but when i reboot it the rear comes back but the front it same ... okay it a hardware problem but i havent done anything to the device i bought it about 3 weeks ago .. it still new
Update: the camera problem is from camera app .. I reboot it and when I enter from an app like cymera which have a camera .. It running very well but when enter the official camera its a black screen and the warning is showing in cymera too ... I need you 4.3

It could be a hardware issue. Try flashing another ROM like AOKP to see if that works. If there is no ROM/kernel combination that will work, then it's probably hardware.

Don't you think you answered the question yourself? You reflashed a STOCK CLEAN image, but it still doesn't work. That leaves software out of the question.

Doesn't matter. As long as you unroot and relock the bootloader, bring it back and tell them it stopped working. You should be under warranty.
Please follow the guides to return it FULLY to stock. Including the stock ROM.

Help
Ok, I think I have messed up big time. Here is it.... I have has some experience with rooting and roms, but I think I am just a bit sleepy right now. What I did was download the aosp file, but when it download is was in the form of a folder. and I transferred it to my phone. Now I have wiped my phone and don't know what to do. I am on a mac. So i download the file again and right clicked and clicked compress. then pushed that on to the /sdcard/. but when i try to install the zip file it says install failed. When can I do?
Edit: following this fixes the issue.
can't post the link but just search "Jumping from ColorOS to CM11S" and it should be a link at one plus's website.

Generally you don't need to have root in your OS when you flash it.
Unlocking bootloader and putting on a recovery doesn't need root access.

you dont need root. but if you do want root without tripping apps off, you can try rootcloack. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-rootcloak-completely-hide-root-t2574647

If you check the Oneplus thread on this you will see a lot of discussion going on. Haven't tried myself.
Just a heads up, this zip failed 3 times in a row for me. I must be doing something wrong.
Any help appreciated

Latest twrp , zip just keeps failing.

You need to use the latest TWRP 2.7.1.0 to flash 100%. It's the only recovery that works.

It could be a bad download. Can you try checking the md5 hash? It should be 115e8729a81496967dd7cadc2c666f9b

Root cause G9350 front camrea capture black

My English is bad, sorry.
I rooted my G9350 by odin flashing a TWRP recovery, but there is so many bugs that I can not stand, so I flash official ROM back.
But when I test front camrea by using system camrea app, I found the first shot is overturned, and after the second shot the photo become deep red black or color detached......
In "*#0*#" service mode, the front camrea is no any problem, in third-party camera app, the captured photo is also overturned.....
I have flashed back official ROM by using odin many times, but it does not work....
I have asked Samsung's support, they say they have no way to solve...
Who can help me? Thanks!
Have you tried a full factory reset? If you have, try to change storage location to SD or vice versa

Just out of interest did you root with cf autoroot. ? From baidu website? And twrp I've read is only for exynos devices. So where did your root tools come from?

I have rooted, and the SuperSU worked properly, but the phone seems slower...
The IMEI and radio is well.
Only flash AP seems will cause some problems...so I have flashed AII...

You already asked this question two times in two different threads and I answered you to both...
Yes, you can flash Gapps on stock rom even if they are already installed.

You don't need a PC to flash GAPPs. There is an app on the play store that will do it for you.
Called " open GAPPs." Just look for it on the play store and it will do it for you

No problem with flashing.. I'll try to solve it later..
One more problem has arrived.. I had previously rooted my device and it was working fine.. I cleared data and blabla caches.. then tried to flash SuperSU 2.78. it caused bootloop..
Then again cleared data. Fortunately it booted..
Can you tell me how to root it.
