[RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.0.2-0]Galaxy A8 sm-a800i - Exynos5433 -UPDATE 5/4/2016

Unofficial original release -TWRP recovery for the SM-A800I, Exynos5433
UPDATE 5/4/2016: TWRP 3.0.2-0 released
SEANDROID warning fix.
https://twrp.me/site/update/2016/04/05/twrp-3.0.2-0-released.html
TWRP is now v3.0.2-0
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
UPDATE: 12/3/2016
New feature available in TWRP 3.0.0-0 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
F2FS support added.
Internal SUPERSU root option removed. This is to prevent boot loops on 5.11/6.0 devices
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
twrp_3.0.2-0_sm-a800i
PLEASE DO *NOT* DIRECT LINK TO THESE FILES. PLEASE LINK TO THIS POST
To Root:
Flash the SuperSU zip below with TWRP.
DO NOT LET TWRP ROOT YOUR DEVICE IF IT ASKS OR YOU WILL BOOT LOOP, ONLY USE THE FILE BELOW:

You let supersu root your device which is why you have bootloop. ONLY use the file provided for root.

Yeah. That's what I did wrong. I turned the OEM Unlock off after a successful root. that was yesterday, but today after restarting my phone the frp lock triggered.

I guess what i need to do is to download the firmware from sammobile. when i go there i only see China and HongKong as country choices. my country isnt there and my fone says its from Vietnam.

Hi @ashyx. i downloaded the firmware file that i need, while extracting it is giving me a WinRar error that the file is corrupted. I know the downloaded completed properly because i was checking the whole time.
Additionally i believe i do need the latest Samsung USB Drivers that will work for my phone. I can't find it here.
Any tips would be great. and again, thanks a lot for the help

Was the file in .rar/.zip format or did it end in .tar/.tar.md5?
Also, usb drivers can be found on samsungs official website for your country.
Most of the times, usb drivers do not need to be downloaded seperately if you are using an updated windows system.
Plug in your phone in download mode and start up odin. If the "com port" turns green, your phone is detected successfully.

Thanks for replying @abhinavparasher it was in zip file but when i extract it its in tar.md5. even when the error stating that the file is corrupted appears the whole extraction process still completes itself. and i already downloaded the USB driver and hope this works

Use 7zip to extract it not Winrar.
If it says corrupted again then the download is not complete.
USB driver: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Also you say your phone is made in Vietnam.
Samsung manufacturer their devices in Vietnam and Korea so that doesn't mean that's the firmware you need.
If you are from the Philippines then download the firmware for the Philippines.
www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-A800I
There is an app called Samsung phone info that will tell you everything you need to know about your device.

@ashyx thanks! i pre downloaded the Stock Firmware from the Philippines. i chose Openline since it is indeed openline. That is also the file that says it is corrupted when i try to extract it. I am downloading 7zip right now. I'll update you as soon as i get somewhere with this.
I would lie to try the Samsung app you're talking about but right now the only thing happening to my phone is go to logo screen then turn off again.

Vibe X3 Marshmallow ROM flash issue : Try one of these steps to resolve
1. System.img is NOT getting Flashed via .exe file .You will Need to switch off the phone - charge it and connect to PC while holding Volume UP button to boot to bootloader and then flash system.img via fastboot. OR
2. If you have a full TWRP backup .Switch off--VolUp and Down+power to boot to recovery and restore from backup (aboot backup is NEEDED, or you can flash emmc.appsboot of Andoid L via fastboot after twrp restores . OR
3. QFIL Unbrick package to unbrick or Freshly Upgrade to Marshmallow using Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode. This will work perfectly and your phone will get unbricked perfectly . Assuming you have done this before for unlocking bootloader , Open QFIL , Select flat build , locate .mbm and .xml files ; Switch off the phone. Connect to PC and IMMEDIATELY press power button until the download button of QFIL turns blue. Then press download . Usage of Root directory for this procedure is highly recommended .

This procedure involves flashing of ALL firmware partitions giving the firmwares necessary upgrades to run better on marshmallow .
A flashable zip via twrp recovery wont be able to do the same .
system and boot images are the only ones that can be made flashable through zip via TWRP , not the whole bunch .

Hi tried flashing twice but still stuck on boot logo.Seems that its not working for me.Flashing was done very quickly with all flags as ok.Considering a very short flashing time of approx 15 sec for 2.6GB ,i am sure that files are not getting flashed correctly even if all flags are ok.
Still stuck at boot logo.My phone was properly rooted & bootloader unlocked

Hi Bro
Its not working ,i think something is going wrong.How much time it takes for you to flash it with the flash tool. For me it took hardly 15 sec.It stucks in Boot logo.

15 seconds is OK.That's why it's called fastboot.
Recheck if your bootloader is unlocked first. @broto1988.Can you port Row Contact Manager to this ROM? I did root stock X4c50 6.0.1 ROM,but can not find the suitable Ideafriend to change stock Chinese Ideafriend.

Device in a bootloop, can't install OS.

One click too much and I'm stuck with a bootloop and no OS installed. I've recently wiped everything via TWRP. Literally anything. Boot, system, everything. I've tried a lot of things. Extracting UPDATE.APP and installing BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG and SYSTEM.IMG via fastboot. Failed. Installing TWRP via dload. No. Installing OS via TWRP. No. I've also tried installing a lot of different stock firmwares, but nothing is working. I've officialy ****ed up. I'm pretty sure I'm stuck with a pretty expensive brick, but nothing is holding me back to ask you for help.
Model: PRA-LX1 (Huawei P8 lite 2017)
Region: Europe/Poland
Default firmware: PRA-LX1C432B106 (which I can't find at the internet at all..)
The bootloader has been unlocked. Flashing via fastboot is working, but the phone itself will not boot up. Trying to do anything in eRecovery ends up in an error. Stock recovery factory reset is not working (neither after nor before flashing via fastboot). Stock/TWRP recovery and bootloader are working perfectly fine.

I have the same phone and the same PRA-LX1C432B106 firmware.. If there's a way to help you or extract my firmware let me know, but mine is not rooted or anything..

Did you find a way to fix the phone, i now have the same problem, tried to flash newer firmware by fastboot and now i'm in bootloop, i have working recovery and fastboot.

You might try to take a look at the tutorial for the p8 lite 2015 here maybe you will find some tools that you might need, who knows.
It's sad to hear that you can't restore it at the moment and that's why most people recommend ALWAYS but ALWAYS make a backup..don't full wipe with no backup because it can go wrong as your phone did.
To extract system.img I used this, maybe it helps you.
As I don't own the 2017 version I can't help you that much but maybe you will find something useful there.
Regards.

Make a backup of something in TWRP first, like just recovery, then find that new folder TWRP just made and delete files inside second folder, then rename folder inside to the name from rescue system folder, and copy/paste rescue files there. then make restore. When you're doing restore select all the files.

thanks, the first prerequisite is the stock boot.img,, i tried backing it up using miracle box but encountered the 'unstable port' problem, what other possible ways i could extract the boot.img from my phone ?

and btw, i remember asking a guy somewhere and he told me that magisk won't root my device, is that true considering it's a less-known manufacturer ?

I'd try the TWRP route instead. I found this thread after about 2 minutes of searching on XDA (search words "infinix note 4 x572"):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/infinix-one-support-root-twrp-firmware-t3695803
It's a really good idea to use the XDA search, because it often works quite good.
If you want to keep the stock recovery on your device, you can actually just boot the TWRP image instead of flashing it. In that case, the command used in that thread:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
should be changed to:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
If that doesn't work, you can actually make quite easily make a backup of your boot image in TWRP and then patch that file in the Manager, to see if that works better.
If things don't work out in TWRP, make sure to provide the recovery log.

It's very possible... It depends on how stock the Manufacturer has kept Android on your device, what chipset the device has, and so on...

thanks alot for the quick responses, i will try it and reply as fast as possible

okay, i downloaded the twrp recovery image for Note 4, flashed it using Fastboot method successfully,
the problem is when i try to boot into the twrp recovery mode, i tried holding the power menu+ vol.down buttons, it sends me into a black screen with "factory mode" upwards in yellow, no button is working.
i then tried
Code:
adb reboot recovery
the phone reboots and says "No command" under a red triangle.
i then tried to flash the twrp img using sp flash tools, and flashed it successfully but the same errors occur, i can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode.

i looked up for a solution for the "no command" problem, here's one:
I faced the same problem with nexus 6p. It works when you root immediately after flashing the TWRP. Keep the superSU file in the storage. Get into bootloader. Flash TWRP via fastboot. Without restarting anything, just press volume up/down buttons while in the bootloader to select recovery. TWRP will open. Flash the SuperSU.zip. Then restart the system. Next time, if you open recovery, you won't get the "no command". If you don't flash SuperSU and you try to open recovery later, you will get the "No command".

what i understood is that i shouldn't reboot my device using "fastboot reboot" , he says i should get into recovery mode directly without restarting, idk how to do that since there are no option for it on the screen, i just have
Code:
=> FASTBOOT mode...
on the screen !

unfortunately i never used the sp flash tool before, so i tried flashing a stock rom but the device is now dead with "dram failed" error, i'll try fixing this first

It's tricky trying to help with a device you don't have...
Did you manage to boot to recovery? Usually you use the volume buttons to select the options and then the power button to confirm. You could also just use the fastboot boot option command I wrote earlier. It'll boot straight into TWRP.
There are a few threads for your device around, so if you need help specific to your device, that's the place to go...

everything is fine now,, fixed the device by flashing a rom named (X572-H5312CE-O-180203V55) then used magisk app to patch the included boot.img, flashed the patched boot.img using sp flash tool,, and everything is working fine now,,,
thanks alot

the twrp from the post you provided is for an older firmware, this is why i couldn't get into recovery after i flashed the provided twrp img,, there is no available twrp for the oreo version of the firmware, but i requested one from twrp builder project,, thanks alot, i've learnt alot in the last 24 hours

Lenovo Z5s Update to ZUI 11.5 (Android 10)

Disclaimer: No guarantees. Follow at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricked phones.
Credits to 4PDA
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of OEM unlocking from Developer options, adb, and fastboot
Knowledge of QPST in case you encounter bootloop, so you can revert to a reliable stock ROM
Unlocked bootloader (from here)
1) Get your bootloader unlocked, if you haven't already.
- Visit https://www.zui.com/iunlock
- Enter the IMEI1 (Second number when you call *#06# with the phone)
- Enter the Device ID from the Bootloader/Fastboot (Hold VOL- and Power, while device is off)
- Enter your email and captcha and set the checkmark to acknowledge voiding your warranty.
- If you get an error saying that your IMEI1 is wrong, put in a sim card and wait a few hours. If it still doesn't work, write an email to [email protected]
- In the developer settings in android, enable usb debugging and oem unlock.
- Flash the sn.img file you receive with fastboot (again, hold vol- and power while the device is off). Command is 'fastboot flash unlock sn.img'. You need compatible usb drivers, qualcom drivers and adb/fastboot to do that. Use google or write me a PM if you have trouble with that.
- execute 'fastboot oem unlock-go'
- This allows you to use fastboot to flash custom system/boot/vendor/vbmeta images

Reboot to recovery
Install in order, without rebooting, 11.3.169 -> 11.5.096 Update -> 11.5.111 Update.
Install Magisk 20.4
Install TWRP for Android 10 (above) using fastboot if the update replaces stock recovery after rebooting
Edited out from original
Wipe Data and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019.zip
In order not to encrypt Data in the future, install Official TWRP immediately after installing updates. Install > Install Image > twrp-3.3.1-0-jd2019.img
Install GApps
Note: I do not know if the 11.5 update relocks the bootloader. It doesn't lock the bootloader.
I had bootloop from OpenGApps. 4PDA post advises to use BiTGApps. You can install Google Play Store from the built-in Lenovo App Center and that's what I did.
Haven't tried disabling dm-verity and forceencrypt.

Good job, my man, I'll check it out tonight and prepare ourselves an updateable package for people coming from any rom to avoid the hassle of going through all of that. As soon as I get it working will release a new TWRP for Android 10.

Nice job man, so the update works as it should? I'm patching the images and will upload a full ota update to make it easier to move between Pie and 10. Regarding recoverys, did you test any twrp? Any decryption working? What about this official twrp, does it actually work? Thanks for the files man, this will make everything much easier

I've been using the phone on 11.5.111 for a couple of days now.
I flashed both the 3.3.2 TWRP of @wzsx150 and the official TWRP and they seem to be working. I didn't turn off encryption so it seems to work well.
Happy to have helped in a small way. Thank you for your hard work!

I tried unlocking 2 Lenovo phones. The first attempt had sent me an email, but the second attempt did not. The unlock procedure went through though. So I tried changing the link provided in the first email http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/lenovoboot/xxxxxxxx/sn.img (xxxxxxxx - serial number of phone) and it worked. This might not work for you though.
As for the OTA, I really am not sure... Probably
