I can confirm that tethering does work on the latest 183.46.15 build using this method. I flashed the .zip in TWRP, rebooted, and the Mobile Hotspot is now working. Thank you for working on this for all of us!

bootloader was unlockable before 183.46.15
if bootloader is unlocked, updating doesnt lock the bootloader
if bootloader is locked you just need root access to
to change the build.prop
XT907 with kernel date July 2014 or after
can now be unlocked with sunshine app

I would root with hydrogen peroxide, even though kingroot or temporary root should work too

Bugs
1. The GT I9192 users will not be able to see, in which sim they had received the calls in the call logs menu. To solve this problem, use "Zero Dialer" app from the playstore, it'll show you the sim numbers of the calls received.
2. Apps which has the drop down menu option will force closes whenever you press it. (mostly the payment apps only. The solution to this is you can use browser (instead of the app) for that :laugh::laugh::laugh
3. For GT I9192 users, system ui fc occurs if you make calls with the Heads Up option enabled. So don't use that

Activate the developer option, go to that and in the last you will see an option called "advanced system settings".
In that, you will see an option with the name "Power off button setting". There you will have all the options for the power menu..

Also what you mean by, "Once you installed you can't uninstall the adds and viruses?" LOL....Its funny....
Because for the past 2 weeks i am using this rom and before that also i used this and i changed to CM 13 and some other MM ports for short time. No problems arised while changing....
Now due to some reasons, i revert back to this.... And moreover some of the users here personally contacted me to give the links of this rom. That's why i created this thread....
And one more thing i am not making any fun of you. But i want you to make clear about the "Viruses and Adds" thing??!!!!!

Was really looking forward to trying it out, what viruses :crying:

Init.d will force close
Hi
If u get Init.d will force close use this kernel Alexax66 0.1.2 for I9192

Hello there. my phone never had kitkat officially so i am using s6&N5 port(which is 4.4).
do i still have to download I9190XXUCOC1_SER.zip? or can i directly flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip.
because i heard kitkat update bootloader and i do not want my bootloader to be updated as i may want to go for jelly bean.
btw i updated s6 port(kitkat) from NEW S6 n N5 Project thread from jellybean. and worked fine.

okay i flashed it over s6 port(4.4.4). but i got random restarts. then i went in twrp recovery and wiped everything and freshed install only flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip file. still crashed. i guess i have to follow your instruction but as i said i cant install kitkat stock firmware as it may update the bootloader.

How to solve random reboots and other issues in Lollipop ROMs in S2 hd lte

UPDATED
Since these issues have been fixed in newer builds but as a s2 hd lte users, we have no option but to use older builds which have many issues. I found a workaround for them. If you are having wifi or other radio related issues, contact the ROM developer. This post can't help you. Flashing latest baseband helped me and could work well for you as well. Lets talk about two of the most common bug that haunts our device
1 Apps auto closing->( only for LMY48G builds,if you have newer builds,just flash gapps and reboot. to check go to about phone-> build number)
This is a webview related bug.
Download latest gapps from opengapps.org.
I prefer aroma installer as smaller packages don't have webview included,which will make the bugs worse.
Flash gapps. Dont forget to select 'android system webview' from the aroma installer.
Download the zip file from the
link
https://mega.nz/#!0d5Tiaja
Decryption key !JAG5Im-T75YN1CKIOiOcyDDaBH2ILD6dzwxw4xnhrBc
Extract "libwebviewchromium.so" and "libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so"
It is taken from stock samsung ROM and only works on armv7 devices.
Copy them to /system/libs using ESfile explorer or any other root explorer.
Overwrite the original file if asked.
give permission (-rw-r-r) to both file
Reboot to recovery
Flash this file "cm12.1 android system webview" from this thread(only for cm12.1, will cause bootloops in Xenon hd and resurrection remix)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/themes-apps/mod-google-android-webview-t3109216
Apps will now no longer auto close in your face without warning
((-> After testing for a month, I concluded that these steps are optional and use only if you want to have google android webview instead of cm12.1's built in 'android system webview'))
2) Now the most important part, random reboots.
This was reported on earlier builds of lollipop by many users.This is mostly caused by minfree that android uses to manage memory. If you navigate to sys/modules/lowmwemorykiller/parameters you can see 4 or 5 files. two of those files have wrong permissions. They are "adj" and "minfree".
If you give them (rw-r-r) permissions, you can adjust minfree values. the stock values are too aggressive and would cause constant reboots, freezes. Download romtoolbox, navigate to task manager, swipe left. you can choose to use any presets. i use 8,12,24,60,70,80 as minfree values.
Dont check "auto apply on boot" because you need to repeat this whole process after a reboot as those two files"adj and minfree" will be replaced from boot.img on boot by kern
Permanent fix: unpack boot.img. Navigate to ramdisc and open init.rc file in notepad. Find the line
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
Change both values to 0644
save and close
Repack boot.img
Put it back inside the zipfile using winrar or use flashify from playstore to update boot.
I found tool to unpack qualcomm boot.img from this website. Full credits to the developer who made this tool.
http://www.droidbeep.com/how-to-unpa...-img-qualcomm/
download ROM toolbox and apply your preferred values
3. Low storage and optimizing apps(configuring ART compiler)
After google updated android runtime from JIT to ART, apps take up huge space and "optimizing app" takes forever. But there is workaround for that too.
1)Open build.prop in any text editor.
2) find these two lines:
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=........(blah blah)
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=...(blah blah)
3) Change both of these lines to
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=speed
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=Verify-none
If these lines doesn't exist, in your build.prop,you have to add them manually
4) save your build.prop file
5) reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache
After this check your storage space, You will have plenty of storage left and optimizing apps should be faster. It works just like old JIT compiler from older android versions.
if this doesn't work for you, you have to edit these same lines from default.prop by unpacking boot.img

I have fixed this issue by editing init.rc inside boot.img, but i dont know if i should post it here or not.

You can try wiping phone efs through odin in order to fix radio issues
1 Download stock jb rom
2 Check "phone efs clear". This is most important.
3 Click pda
4 click start
5 wait for phone to boot up
6 go to settings->software update to check if you are running latest jb build. Soft reboots and radio issues are usually caused by old baseband version.
7 Proceed with usual old way to install lollipop.
This way odin will wipe your efs settings to rebuild from scratch.

still ploblem ??? :? wait how to clear efs
at first time i have checked this box but failded ,

you need Stock jb rom to do this. I also had this issue in e120l, but clearing phone efs fixed radio issues for me. you need odin3v 1.85 and samsung usb drivers.
You can find it alongside " phone bootloader update". Be careful not to select this one by accident.

Once again, I read the instructions .. understand. But in the archive libraries are no libvebvievhromium .so file. "There's a file" libwebviewchromium_loader. "This is critical?

you get "libWebviechromium .so" file while installing gapps package. Go to opengapps.org and download aroma installer.
there are two files in the archive i uploaded, libwebviwechromium_loader.so and libwebviewplatsupport.so. You need to extract and replace those files in system-> libs after flashing gapps package. The built in webview will cause random apps shutdowns. this file is critical. You need libwebviewchromium_loader to start webview app. your system will not function properly without it.

have you checked debugging option from developer options before doing this? Make sure your data cable is not faulty. please make sure you have a backup of efs partition if you are having network issues with all ROMs. try hellcat and stock based roms for testing to make sure you are not having this issue only on lollipop or kitkat. Also try to wipe boot from recovery menu before flashing.

Search the hellkat thread to see if there is one for e120s as well.
I obviously didn't look further as i don't own e120s.

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage

Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.

Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.

I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days

Nice

That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!

@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).

Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.

I'm Stuck

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.

So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.

I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/

I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.

Alternative method magisk root [stock android 9][NO TWRP][Samsung A70 FN/DS]

purpose of this post is to share an alternative method for those who fail to root using @topjohnwu recommended method or the method posted by @Grarak here on A70 forum that involves patching recovery.img in magisk and then flashing that in twrp>install to boot.
failing to root means either bootloops or unstable magisk root or magisk root disappearing randomly or after a module installation.
this is not my original guide , i was told this method by @raeumler via PM and i am sharing it on A70 forums incase other methods dont work.Some of the steps may not be neccesary , but i did them ritually anyway
my phone model is SM-A705FN /DS and firmware version is A705FNXXU5ASL4( with 1st jan 2020 updates) . country is PAK
do this at your own risk! i will not be responsible for any negative consequences
appropiate links and files will be posted as attachments
rooting procedure( read each step twice)
1- UNLOCKING BOOTLOODER= this will factory reset device . backup your data
read step 02 of this linked guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a70-t3955984
DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND ATTACHMENTS= now i am assuming you have stock samsung android 9. if not, download your firmware via SamFirm windows program and flash in odin to go to stock[ program available in attachements]. Download other attachements too
2-Find vbmeta.tar in downloaded attachments and unpack it. you will get vbmeta.img file.
3. unzip stock Samfirm downloaded firmware. you will get 5 files in it (BL,AP,CP,CSC and CSC_HOME).open the AP File from the factory rom with 7zip
4. remove userdata.img, vendor.img and system.img from the AP file
5. replace vbmeta.img with the one you have downloaded in step 2.
6. repack AP as AP.tar [ use 7zip or peazip. i used peazip windows program, ensure file type is TAR]. transfer this AP.tar to your phone
7. install magisk manager 7.5.1 on your phone and open it. connect your phone to internet.
8. hit the upper install button and choose "patch a file"
9. choose the repacked AP file and patch it[ this requires active internet as magisk needs to download its zip file]
10. copy the AP file which magisk creates in internal storage/download/magisk_patched.tar back to your pc (better keep it named as such for differentiation, its irrelevant how the file is named as long its a tar file)
11. download,unzip and open Odin 3.1.3.1[available in attachements]. i used Odin3+v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe , there is a simple version too inside the zip
12. go into download mode on your phone (shut down completely then hold vol+ vol- togather and plug in cable connected to PC ). Odins should show Com port X as blue
13. in odin: put the BL, CP and HOME_CSC in its place (the files from the factory firmware you downloaded in step 1 from SamFirm windows program) and place the magisk patched AP on AP
16. check if you want autoreboot or not, its your own taste (some feel safer with autoreboot unchecked, both works)[ i kept autoreboot checked]
15. hit start and let it finish (when it stucks on something try another cable and install latest samsung adb driver.)
16. let the system reboot
17. if you get stuck in bootloop or freeze >10 min on samsung logo, try to force reboot.press volume down + power till screen turns blank then press volume + and power till bootloader unlock screen appears and then let go of all keys.
if still it doesnt boot, then press volume down and power togather to force shutdown and then press volume up and power till stock recovery boots up. Mine at this stage said firmware is corrupt ,factory reset needed so thats what i did in stock recovery. power off system in stock recovery and then press volume+ and power till bootloader warning screen , let go of all buttons, it should now boot up fine with magisk manager app in app drawer. DONT OPEN IT YET
download this app from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot&hl=en_US. open app and press reboot. No need to press any keys
on reboot complete ,connect to internet,open magisk, let it check for updates, it should say installed in both portions. magisk will do additional enviromental steps and then reboot. on booted up, use the linked reboot app to reboot again.
now magisk should be installed all fine
for viper4android>open magisk>swipe left and tap downloads> installed 2.7.1.6> reboot with linked app
on reboot check if app is installed, if not > install and login on xda labs and download viper4android 2.7.1.6> open app> give it root accesss> let it reboot device on installtion> on bootied up reboot again with linked app and then check drivers on viper4android[ make sure master switch is on and then play some music ,tap the chip icon to see driver status and processing status
from here onward, always use the linked reboot app to reboot device. if an app or module reboot device automatically( like viper4android does ) then on boot complete,reboot again with the linked app

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Android 10.
There is an error in Odin when flashing files.
The error is when flash the AP file, more specifically vbmeta.

Wysłane z mojego SM-A705FN przy użyciu Tapatalka

Looks like a useful guide, thank you for putting it up. I'm really not sure how to get the firmware though from the SamFirm program. I found this ( https://androidmtk.com/use-samfirm-tool - might be useful info?) since I have never used the samfirm tool before I am lost at that step. I don't know if there's a list of region codes somewhere? I have an 'international version' A70. Using SM-A705MN, baseband version A705MNXXU3ASI1 .. Since I'm in the US, should I look to getting that type of ROM or should I find out what region this particular ROM already on the phone is, and use that?
I've done rooting before (Samsung S4, HTC M9, LG V20) but these phones seem even more complicated.
Even if all this works, then the root is not 'permanent'? I'm not sure why a different 'reboot app' would be needed if the system is modified in a way to enable things like magisk/super su?

Download phone info app and note pda, csc and phone codes.
Use these codes to Google your exact firmware and download that ( you may have to visit various websites that offer better speed)
The samfirm, frija only allows latest firmware to be download, not the currently installed one.
One you have the stick firmware file, then you can proceed with rooting.
If you are on android 9 use this guide
If you are on Android 10 use MarvinMod guide.
This reboot app is what I currently use. Haven't experimented with other apps.
The root is permanent as long as your reboot with the mentioned key combination or the reboot app.
The reboot app simple allows you to reboot without the key combination. If you don't want to use this app then you must reboot with the mentioned key combination to retain root. Otherswise you wouldn't have root unless you reboot again with correct combination.
To make this easy I suggested that reboot app
Yes I feel you bro, I had Samsung note 2 then note 4 phone and they were easier to root.
But with Google changing things the best way to root is to use magisk and this complicated methods

i think you can make a little script for rebooting. should work. i really want to know how the bootpartition is corrected, at boot its recovery-from-boot.p as image and install-recovery.sh for reenabling stockrecovery. if you rename this files bootup should work without reflashing boot or recovery. there have to be something similar to the rebootprocess, a script that flashes a sparse image (the *.p file to delete su binary or something like that..) or it just kills the su binary in the folders itself. im to stupid for dmesg and logcat i couldnt find out whats going on at reboot. also the petrus reboot app reboots instant, keys doesnt. seems to be that adb reboot deletes root too. yesterday, somehow my fone did sonething last night, which crashes root again.....i need twrp urgent to make backup. but the binary let not decrypt it. U5 is android 10 bootloader and there are some issues with twrp (decrypt). last time it has saved my backuptry to /data/backupfolder as internal is encrypted. i dont want to factoryreset this phone....is it complicated to build a recovery ? or is there something like a clickitalltogetherapp?

following reboot variants keeping root:
hold all keys for 10 seconds
reboot via terminal or script
petrus app
following kills root:
standartreboot with hw-keys
adb reboot (on a dosprompt from pc)
boot to stockrecovery
magisk module reboot
but thats is such a XXXX .. i dont have a word for it, in the beginning computers and so are working logical....seems that samsungs security trends are not that logical as needed... i hate samsung :/. there have to be someone who find the "unsu"-files...cannot be....

I didn't messed with boot or recuvery files like the way you DM me.
But I have been noticing strange behavior with petrus app.
Reboot option in petrus app is kinda of like fast reboot or reboot UI. Because all apps opened and present in task manager remain so after reboot with petrus app.
Also once you power off with petrus app,
1= booting up with root key combination results in phone getting freeze Or bootlooping
2=. Force shutting phone again bootloop phone.
3= Going to stock recovery and rebooting system bootloop.
4= going to stock recuvery and shutting off phone from there and then simply pressing power button without key combination, successfully bootup phone with root intact.
This is such a bizzare behaviour
Oh and i am still on Android 9 pie.
