I've got an old Idol 5S. I lent it to someone, and now it seems to have a Factory Reset Protection FRP on it. I've checked in with that person I lent it to, and they couldn't figure it out at all. So, I'm wondering if rooting it will get around this issue.
Which leads me to: where are all the threads for an Idol 5S? There seems to be nothing anywhere on how to do this!
https://romprovider.com/root-alcatel-idol-5s-nougat-magisk/
oo I haven't tried this one yet: http://howtorootit.com/root-alcatel-idol-5s-2/
But I figured there would be some ROMs or steps on XDA for this phone, but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks!
Sugar MTK from TCL. It will reinstall stock firmware and remove frp.
I've unlocked this devices bootloader and have magisk installed. Another one for A-Team! And custom recovery

Hello. Recently I got Galaxy S5. Then after trying to root it I realized it's a chinese clone which haa complicated my life. I tried to root it and put in a wrong version of Clockworkmod. As a result, I fortunately haven't bricked the phone, but my bootloader is not working anymore. It doesn't load up. Only thing that works is the factory mode. Now the problem is - I want to get the phone to it's stock ROM and firmware, but because there is no way to access bootloader, nor download mode, I can't use Odin to do so. Is there any way I could flash the phone with a stock ROM and make the bootloader work again? The OS works fine, only thing that doesn't work is the bootloader. Thank you.
Samsung Galaxy S5 clone (G900S - South Korean), MT6589. Android version 4.4.2 Kit Kat, Kernel version 3.4.5, rooted.
You need to identify what model you have, obtain the stock firmware for that model and restore that. There are forums that concentrate on the clone models, use Google to find them, and they will go into more detail about your options.
Beware that many things on XDA will brick or worse a clone as the apps and advice here are not intended for a clone which is completely different under the hood.

Thank you for your reply. Well tge stock firmware is secondary for me. The problem is with the corrupt bootloader. I think it tries to load the CWM, but due to it's incompatibility it cannot. Is there any way to replace the bootloader only? Without the working bootloader, I can't do anything to fix it or to flash a custom ROM. I haven't find anything related to it. Or at least not yet.

Try to get your money back bro. If it's a chinese clone s5 God only knows what it's running. It's not a Samsung nor an s5 for that matter so the recovery and Odin won't work.

Well, everything worked well until I tried to flash it. The reason was corrupt GPS. I found a way to fix the GPS but it required root and somehow I clashed it with incorrect CWM and the problem was born :/

Dude, get out of this forum or you`ll break your device permanently. You don`t have a Galaxy S5 and thuss neither a Qualcomm 801 cpu fow which these roms are build for. Find a forum somewhere for your device. Good luck
A normal (full) software image would include a bootloader. Separating a bootloader is much less common.
And as several people have already warned you.. quite a lot of the advice, procedures, firmware, et cetera on XDA will further damage your clone. Your clone may look like an S5 but it is very different internally. If you truly want a completely unusable phone, a literal paperweight, then continue.
Find another forum that has firmware and advice on how to program your specific clone.

Was the purchase of this clone made inside or outside of the USA?
Hello,
i successfully rooted the Verizon mobile bought online (I didnt know it was coming from US), and Id like get rid of this system.
Can I install any other open source firmware such as old cynagenmod or Lineage?
I found the following https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/jfltevzw/install but not sure it applies to my phone.
Also this article seems interesting, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/guide-sch-i545-vrugof1-look-t3395833, but not sure If i brick it.
anyone who has already gone through change to Lineage?
Can my bootloader be opened?
thanks
Yes you can. But first you will need a custom recovery. I'm not sure if TWRP works for your model, but you could search it on their website.
After the custom recovery is successfully installed, you can flash ROMs. There's also a separate forum for the Verizon S4 I believe, you may be able to find compatible ROMs and recoveries and more info there.

Did you try it yourself.
unfortunately the bootloader seems locked , so cannot instal TWRP or custom recovery...
All Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T s4 phones have a locked bootloader which means no custom recovery without an unlocked bootloader.
The Verizon forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon
does that mean that I cannot install lineage, right?
Hello,
I just rooted my G930V, and I am looking for TWRP. I tried to flash couple of them, but they gave errors. Can somebody share the link for G930V TWRP?
Thanks!

How is that possible? There is Lineage OS for G930V. I mean someone must have unlocked it already.

Nope, all US snapdragon S7s are bootloader locked, no Lineage OS for it afaik, just look in the Snapdragon ROM development forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nels-recoveries--other-development-snapdragon
Now look in the Exynos dev forums

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out how to install LineageOs on my Galaxy S7 SM-G930V (Verizon) but as far as I understand this is just not possible? And there is no other customrom either for this type?
Thanks

It's not possible dont waste your time possibly bricking your devices, there's no bootloader unlock and probably never will be...

You can install twrp using FlashFire after flashing the ENG_BOOT image. It works on 7.0, not sure about Oreo.

Ok so I am a mom of 3 including an infant and exhausted trying to figure this out. Trying not to clog the board opening a new thread. Long story short- I want to use an app that the developer has not been able to fix the errors with it when using Nougat on an S7. They suggested I upgrade to Oreo or Pie to fix this. I have an unlocked phone purchased outright on eBay and use Total Wireless. So there will be no one to assist me in this. I'm fairly tech savvy so I looked on YouTube about rooting and upgrading with a custom ROM.
I watched these videos:
sorry new cannot post
So easily I enabled developer options and OEM unlock and USB debugging. Downloaded Odin and Magisk and no verity and Gapps and lineage 16.0 (from Ivan Meler) and twrp with the twrp-3.3.1-0-heroqltechn.img.tar file which I determined is which one I needed.
Odin will not flash TWRP (one of the first steps). Fails every time. It does start blue and I did download and install the latest Samsung drivers package just to be sure.
Then I found it was probably because I had a locked bootloader. So, I used this tut and that did successfully download to my phone via Odin. But TWRP still will not "flash" to the phone.
Now, my fingerprint sensor says "The fingerprint sensor is not responding, please try again later". and my phone has a security notice stating "unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone and undo any unauthorized changes". So I am thinking that I did successfully unlock the bootloader? But TWRP still will not flash.
I considered using oneclickroot.com but it's $40, phone only worth about $100, and my husband is convinced they're going to steal info from my computer and phone in the process (even thought they're XDA endorsed). They also told me they can only give me Oreo not Pie.
I have downloaded and used SuperBackup. Also all my photos are auto backed up to Google and my contacts and calendar are too. So I don't think it's a huge deal if I lose everything. Even if I brick it I can get another. Reinstalling and relogging into all my apps will be a pain but whatever. I have a password app that can be logged into from the web.
Also my camera has been getting buggy and not opening and having to be restarted and in general the phone is just getting glitchy, so I was hoping an upgrade might help.
All the info I have:
Model G930V Ver 7.0
Baseband G930VVRS4BQC9
Build NRD0M.G930VVRS4BQC9
Knox 2.7.1
When I enter developer mode:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-G930V
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FAP lock: Off
Qualcomm secureboot: enable
AP SWREV B4(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S3
Secure Download: enable
My startup screen where it says Galaxy S7 powered by Android also now has an unlocked lock icon and says "custom" underneath.
Should I just figure out how to "undo" what I did and leave it alone? I'd really like to use the eMeals app and I'd really like to not buy a new phone.
hi.
can anybody please tell me how can i downgrade the bootloader of my galaxy s8? its been updated and since then i cannot install android 7.0, i only can use 8.0.0 which i don't really like it.

you want to go back to nougat from oreo , am i right ? Then try this video, if it doesnt help please reply to me and i am gonna find a solution to you ASAP
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqpucWXyfqY
hi. thx, but i did this right (like in the video) many times, and it worked perfectly. now is not working cuz the bootloader was updated, and it won't let me downgrade the firmware anymore. i am still trying to find a way but i don't know if is possible.
i am searching a way to downgrade bootloader and then downgrade the firmware, but i dunno if is possible to downgrade bootloader once it was updated.
i am looking for the same solution. i managed to downgrade to Nougat but cant install custom rom
Can someone help me? I have G950FD which Firmware should I flash for my phone? I am using this model in the US
So no solution to downgrade bootloader version?
Bootloader downgrade for U6 is not available yet (For free)

I have searched the whole web. but, I haven't find the solution to downgrade the bootloader for Binary 6. Well, my phone's OS is dead after upgrading to pie. So, apparently the only way for me and to others who are facing the similar issue is to wait until someone releases Binary 6 combination firmware for SM-G950FD.
Good news: It's easy to get your phone running if your bootloader is not upgraded to binary 6. Cuz, Binary 5 firmwares and combination files are available out there and they are 100% working unless your MB is dead.
Note: I have flashed following stock firmwares successfully through ODIN [INS-G950FXXU6DSK9-20191231094010 and INS-G950FXXS6DTA1-20200120123810] yet no luck. Can't boot the OS. Tried to root the phone, cant able to flash the custom recovery. Nothing just works.
Someone, please tag me if ever finds U6 combination file. That's the only hope to bring back my phone to life.
Anyone installed TWRP and willing to write a little tutorial? I'm already bootloader unlocked and rooted, but a bad xposed module caused a factory reset. So I figure now's the time. Also, I've heard TWRP only works on Oreo, is it possible to downgrade by flashing the Oreo .kdz? I've seen that both Pie and Oreo have the same AntiRollBack version, but I'd like to confirm with anyone who's actually done it. Also, are there any custom ROMs or working GSIs? I feel bad for asking but it seems like these forums have almost totally died and there is definitely information out there that doesn't get posted here.
How did you unlock the bootloader?
