Hello guys,
I got this device for about a week now and searched everywhere but there are no costum roms for this device and that causes me to return the device back and buy another device...
does anyone have successfully ported a rom ?

does anyone have successfully ported a rom ?
Bootloop ;-;

https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...overy-teamwin-recovery-project-3-0-2-t3356616
Following the guide, flashing TWRP and installing the supersu caused my phone to go into a bootloop which I managed to remedy by going into recovery and installing the j3 lite ROM found on page 100 of the thread.
I would think to avoid bootloop, avoid installing the supersu provided in the guide. Flash TWRP, pull battery, boot to recovery, install custom ROM, wipe catch.

I am uploading a stock ROM with only 480mb: v wait

I own this device , i have it rooted and TWRP.
People don't know the power of this device and it's chipset. Mine's J320m (brazil) 1.5 RAM but with 8gb internal memory.
TouchWiz UI sucks so much , i've had to install more than 20 xposed modules to make it go cleaner to look and use
also installed Pixl Launcher, HEBF Optimizer , Greenify , L Speed , Wanam Xposed , Xinternal
We need a custom rom , even CM13 or even CM12 for god's sake
Samsung blocks everything , so i think we need a new firmware at first.

But finally at reboot received the message:
kernel ist not seandroid enforcing.
It was not a problem to reinstall my backup with TWRP.
Surely I could try the otherone what was made for SM-J320M, but for this evening it wars enought stress. I hope also that there ist somebody who is so kind to work on a custom rom for J320F. It is very popular in Europe.

the big problem is the kernel , each variation needs a different kernel
what we really need is a pure and stock cyanogen version , with a ****ing clean 6.0 android , so we could use SD as internal memory

So... No j320f custom rom?...

We could try porting from j210f same chipset and same specs

LineageOS for SM-j320f (Duos)
It would be great if it worked! I am available as a Betatester.

The BootLoop is caused by installing TWRP's SuperSu. Make sure you put your own SuperSu file on the android device.

you do have brazalian version thats the qualcomm processor but we are here getting issues with spreadtrum processor (J320F)

It's because you are flashing MM rom (except cm13) and you are on Lollipop or vice versa.

Possible problems,
- the rom is not for your device or variant
- The bootloader is for another version of Android
- Twrp was compiled with a different version of Android so are you going to get an error.
- Your bad luck exceeds an acceptable level ... ???

I have the same problem on my j500h too its turn to yellow color until the logo cant see because of that color i flashed custom kernel properly step by step 2 custom kernel i flashed they have already problem with that im running on 5.1.1 lollipop and my build number is LMY48B.J500HXXU1APA5

You get green screen when:
1) You flash MM ROMs (based on stock Touchwiz MM) over Lollipop and vice versa.
2) You flash MM/N ROMs (based on AOSP/CM such as LOS13, AOSIP, Mokee etc.) over Lollipop and vice versa.
3) I can't confirm this, but based on your comment, you get green screen when you flash a MM kernel over Lollipop and of course, vice versa too.

For those, who -as I did - don't really understand this (see the quote)...
I had the same issue when I wanted to install a custom Marshmallow ROM (6.0.1) over my stock Lollipop (5.1.1). The solution was to download and flash a new Bootloader and Modem with Odin. See tis:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/6-0-1-5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801

I just ran into this error while trying to install a custom ROM for my J500H.
My phone was running latest 6.0.1. I installed TWRP from This thread, then installed followed the instructions to install Resurrection Remix (7.1.2), but on first boot i got the green screen with the error (set warranty bit: kernel). Also tried Lineage 14.0 but doesn't work. I can still enter TWRP and download mode after getting this error.
This is my first time flashing a Samsung device. Could someone tell me what i did wrong?

Sorry, first time i didn't your post till the end.
First of all.
Restore firmware with "Samsung smart switch".
You can downgrade to 5.1.1 by this instruction.
1.Flash this firmware by Odin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-pt1IG7T4hmVzhuMnRyeTBjTGM/view?usp=drivesdk
(Before flashing, wipe all storages(all except internal, external in advanced wipe. If you have stock recovery, you must do both wipes)
2. After first boot flash recovery from Vince
(for both bootloaders)
3. Before flashing RR5.8.4 wipe all storages too( all, except extrnl and intrlnl)
4. Flash RR and gapps.
5. Wipe data and cache.

Did you mean i have to flash RR over 5.1.1? Last time i ran into this error i was flashing it over 6.0.1, and I did full wipes within TWRP.

Yes.
Because it work only with 5.1.1 bootloader.

Custom Rom Install Issues on Sprint Note 3 (SM-N900P)

OK< this is the issue I am having with the phone, which is a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P (Sprint). I originally rootted it about 2 and a hal years ago, and I THINK, not absolutely sure, but think I used KingoRoot when I did, only because no matter what I couldnt get it to root otherwise. I originally installed slimkat, then in January 2016 I installed Resurrection Remix 5.1 . The phone runs great, but the rub is, it wont let me install ANY other ROMs, olde or newer. Also, when I rooted it, I had to use Flashify to install the Recovery while I was still on the original Samsung ROM. That version is 3.0.2-0. All the other info I can think of that may help anyone who is willing to give me an idea is listed below.
I would REALLY like to try a NOTE 7 rom, seems they are really really good from what I have read, or at least RR 6.0
Build Number Resurrection Remix Lollipop 5.1.1-f26-LMY48Y
Sprint Note 3 (SM-N900P) Running Resurrection Remix LP v5.5.9, rooted,
Kernal version 3.4.0-g7db381d
[email protected] #1
Baseband Version
N900pVPUEOK2
ANY help would be fantastically appreciated, have been a big fan of this site since WAY back (AT&T Pocket PC PHONE and Samsung BlackJack years.)
Thanks in advance.

I would also ask in the SPRINT forum .

I would risk it and factory wipe, install stock ROM and try to root using the newest methods available and proceed to flash a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.7 recommended) since it appears to be the most compatible with the newer ROMs
Your choice though

Nrml flashing couldn't make any problem that to be said from nougat to oreo since for now they have same baseband ver. but for you definitely flash stock rom first(nougat) via adb or twrp both work fine. There is difference between baseband in mm and nouhat and will create problem to you in future

As the post above states ensure you flash the stock nougat ROM before flashing nougat custom ROM. Flash stock nougat, reflash twrp, wipe system, data, cache, ART cache and then flash custom ROM.

Thank you, helps a lot!

As others have said, I would like to say you should update to N. As otherwise you might face a few issues namely baseband and fingerprint. The problem is a big MIGHT but I would recommend updating first

Should I upgrade my I9505 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 or something newer?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 with 4.3 Jellybean rooted from stock.
I want to update the OS because of having the advantage accessing newer apps.
The auto update function comes up with a 4.4.2 KitKat. Should I choose this or something newer?
It is 2018 and not 2015 and the android development will positevely affect this device too.
Thanks in advance.

Flash the latest stock 5.01 rom using Odin.

Latest stock is not too bad but it may struggle if you have more apps opened and all. the best bet is to use cyanogen mod either 13 or 14 but it may not fit your likings because of the style

Thank you for the info.
I will check both options.
Will I have to root again after the update?

UPDATE!!!!
I was handed a S4 a year ago and flashed LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1) and it runs smooth as silk and slick as snot. These companies stop updating to pin you into buying new fones. Follow the guides, first get TWRP recovery up and running then you can get Lineage OS installed. Lots of guides out there. KK isnt even sufficient for a kids tablet these days. Better my suggestion, you'll have 7.1 Nougat and something that can hang on a few more YEARS.

Is there a guide to safely flash the LineageOS 14.1?

1) Backup all data to external source.
2) Download and copy LineageOS rom, Open_Gaaps_ARM_7.1 and su(arm)_14.1 to MicroSD (see the links below).
3) Flash TWRP to RECOVERY from PC via USB (see the link below).
4) Boot to RECOVERY and Advance Wipe everything on the phone from TWRP.
5) Flash everything from the MicroSD in step2 with the same order and reboot.
* The only issue with LineageOS for S4 (and probably all Samsung models) is that the camera is prone to crash because the camera software is reverse engineered. When it does, you have to reboot the phone. Good luck and have fun.
