Hi
I'm trying to flash a custom ROM, to be specific: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524108 , but I have a few problems.
Almost one year ago my Home button stopped responding which made almost all multitasking useless and I had to use d back button in order to get back to my home screen that obviously then exited wtv app I was using. Two days ago I managed to spill some water on my phone while I was listening to music through its speaker and 10 min later the phone suddenly shut off. The phone went into a bootloop and whenever I removed the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically booted back into the bootloop, as if the power button was constantly being pressed. Considering that my Home button doesn't work and now also my Power button, I couldn't enter recovery and when I entered Download Mode via my USB JIG the phone went in and out of Download Mode every 5 sec or so which made it impossible for me to flash back to stock with Odin and then flash CWM etc etc...
I decided to open my phone and cut over the Power button cable since I assumed it was already dead (I let the phone dry for 24 hours without any help before I did) and then when I put back the battery the phone didn't boot by itself. I plugged in the USB JIG and Download Mode is now working again. I have flashed a 2.3.4 stock ROM (JVP) and I'm using a CF-Root kernel with CWM 3.
I installed ROM Manager (Superuser came with the kernel) and I have checked that the phone is rooted, but whenever I try to flash a ROM through ROM Manager the phone doesn't boot into CWM and then tries to flash the ROM, it boots into Recovery e3.
I know I have CWM installed considering I've tried this without flashing CWM with ROM Manager, and with CWM from ROM Manager.
The ROM won't be flashed due to an error stating that the Signature isn't verified.
Is there any way for me to be able to flash the ROM with another method or to get the ROM Manager to work properly? I know my phone is in a pretty bad state considering I don't have a working Home button or Power button, but it works fine with stock ROM where I use an app that makes it possible for me to unlock my screen with my volume buttons.
Basically, my question is... how can I flash custom ROMs without a home/power button, and why isn't ROM Manager working?
Thanks in Advance
PS. I have to flash a kernel through Odin everytime I want to boot my phone, is there anyway to boot the phone without having to flash over and over again?
I'm unclear as to whether you can enter download mode and flash through odin.
If not, perhaps you could try mobile ODIN off the play store and see if that works.
The reason why i'm saying so as if you can enter download mode i'd flash this (darky's rom) rom.
It's rooted, has CWM installed and is just a one step odin process to a nice stable rom.
Perhaps you could try 'rom toolbox' to enter recovery and download, get it from the app store.
And as you're phone is pretty broken, i assume you probably wanna flash one rom and stick with it. So either flash the rom i just linked you to or this (gamerzrom ninja) one.
Gamerzrom ninja however requires you to flash stock JVU in odin, then semaphore 2.5.0 kernel in odin, then enter CWM and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and then flash the gamerzrom zip file.
That is quite a few steps and with you're phone so broken it may be easier to just do the first one which is one ODIN process, however the latter rom i suggested is more optimized and has more power overall, ram, etc etc.
Your call
Thanks for your reply.
The DarkyROM might come in handy considering it's flash-able through ODIN. The other ROM really isn't much of an option for me as I cannot do anything in CWM other than navigate up and down due to the fact that my Home/Power buttons don't work.
I'm able to get into CWM without much of a problem, but I just get stuck there...
The reason I want the ROM I linked to is because it has built in on-screen buttons, which then will make it possible for me to finally have my Home button back.
Is there no way to flash a ROM without the use of CWM? or without actually entering CWM and doing so manually?
Hi all, first of all, i'm not full expert on android, but I know some stuff. anyway i tried to root my phone using kingroot (last version update) i don't know what i did wrong, but know the phone stuck on the Lenovo logo, then bootlops again and again.
I read there I have to flash a new rom to my phone, but again im not experts in android. so im not sure how to do it. There is any guide? or one click tool to help me flash rom to my phone from the computer?
Hi there, I also had the same issue a while ago. I soft bricked my phone, it got stuck into bootloop and I got so confused what to do because I didn't wanted to lose my phone over some parlor trick. What I'm gonna do here is explain you all the things step by step and if you follow them correctly, you will see your k3 working at the end. So first thing first don't ever use kingoroot again to root your phone or any other phone. Not Helpful.
So I'm assuming that you are stuck at boot logo or somewhere around it, facing black screen. Don't worry it'll be alright at the end of the day. You need to download a few things before we start because to completely vanish the problem we have to unroot the device and install stock rom again using spftools.
Requirements Download files and tools :
1)Download flash_tool
2)Download USB Driver of Lenovo K3 Note
Link- https://drive.google.com/folderview?...kU&usp=sharing
3)Download K50a40_S112_150610_ROW.rar
Link- https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B1tnng1Ipox5S1NsVG53YndVNVU&export=download
After downloading all the necessary files keep your PC ready for the following things:
1)Install "LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.13.exe", then Restart pc.
2)Extract "SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1452.00.000.zip" using Winrar
3)Open SP Flash Tool with Adminstrative rights (Right click on flash_tool.exe from inside the SP Flash Tool folder)
4)Go to Options > Option... > Download > Tick "DA DL All with Checksum" > Close the options box
5)Close SP Flash Tool.
Charge your phone up to 80% or more- is a must for the following process to avoid any issues.

3)Browse the TWRP v3.0.0-3 folder and select the "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt" file > Ok **
4)Click on "Download" icon
5)Completely turn off your phone and wait for about 10 sec (BUT DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY) and NOW connect it to PC using usb cable.
6)Wait till the Process completes and a "Download ok" box will appear with a green tick. Disconnect the phone from cable. Done!
Now press and hold VolumeUp+VolumeDown+PowerButton all three buttons at one untill you see the "TWRP" logo.
The phone will boot into custom recovery you just installed.
Flash Stock Rom
1)Extract K50a40_S112_150610_ROW.rar to a folder and open flash tool extracted folder and run flash_tool.exe
2)On the flash tool, click Scatter-Loading button browse and then select file name MT6752_Android_scatter.txt, just find it on K50a40_S112_150610_ROW target_bin folder, then click open.
3)Now it will load the above file, make sure only recovery selected and select the Firmware Upgrade option.
4)In the menu Option tab, select Download and check DA DL All with Checksum.
5)Click Download button or hit F9
6)Completely turn off your phone and wait for about 10 sec (BUT DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY) and NOW connect it to PC using usb cable, this will start the flashing process on flash tool.
7)Wait till the Process completes (5-10mins) and a "Download ok" box will appear with a green tick. Disconnect the phone from cable. Done!
8)Then switch on your phone just wait, it will take some minutes for first boot and be patient.
You will see your device boot up like the first time you booted it up. Fresh as a new. It has a custom recovery installed so it advised to take a backup of the fresh system using TWRP incase you need it in future. Press and hold VolumeUp+VolumeDown+PowerButton to access recovery menu.
So now you have unbricked your phone and it's also in unroot condition. Follow the procedure and you'll be good.
Attention: I'm not responsible for any damage that occurs to your smartphone, for committing install Stock ROM on your smartphone is very risky, if you have a doubt it better don't do it or give to someone who is more understand with this installing. Thanks.
I would rather suggest you to directly install the latest stock ROM for our device I.e s433 instead of lollipop so you won't have to go through all the trouble of downloading and updating as the mm update is nearly a GB in size.
Here's the link to that
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEmkxrdpsgRMFpxX0VPT3FMODg/view
After installing the rom, install twrp recovery as mentioned in the above post, boot to that recovery and then flash this SuperSU zip. When that is done just reboot and you will have a rooted stock rom
Here is the SuperSU zip
Hi, I have a slightly different problem would the fixes above help me too.
My issue started with installing lineage 14.1 using twrp 3.02, after a factory reset, due to selling to a friend, the phone now only boots to TWRP every time, so I'm kind of stuck in a twrp boot loop, I installed twrp 3.1 but that made no difference, still twrp loop.
So should I just follow the above method, not flash twrp, but just flash the latest official rom using the above method, to get the phone back to loading roms?

Yes you will be able to fix your phone with those methods. What you would want to do is this:
1) While your phone is booted to recovery, run sp flash tool on your PC.
2) Remove the battery and insert it again to power off your phone if you can't do it through the recovery.
3) Load all the required files in sp flash tool as written in the posts above.
4) Select 'firmware upgrade' option (This will wipe off your internal storage) instead of 'download only' and click on download button.
5) Now connect your phone to PC and long press the power button of your phone. You will see the download process has begun in sp flash tool. Wait for it to complete and leave your phone there till it completes.

Brilliant Ty, just to confirm, when you say select "firmware upgrade option" I should at that point have the stock rom loaded into flash tools, so that will over write current installed recovery and rom.
Then I guess, try lineage again, great rom, only the twrp boot loop has been a big pain, I have read this is because of using twrp 3.02, twrp 3.03 and twrp 3.1 are said to fix this issue from happening next time.
Thank you

Yes that's right, else the download process won't start. Once you load the scatter file it will also set sp flash tool to overwrite your current twrp recovery with the stock lenovo recovery.
When-ever i Plug my phone into USB with battery it auto boots into TWRP no matter what i do and SP doesn't even recognize or start flash
Exynos variants such as International (F), International Dual(Hybrid)-SIM (F/DS),
i am not responsible if anything goes wrong. You are still the one who tryed to flash the files. Even tough this should work as it worked for me and some friends.
Hello XDA
This is my first post (sorry if one already exists)
Today i am going to tell you how to root the Galaxy S9 International on android 9 Pie on stock touchwiz rom.
First of all download all these files;
Prince comsy odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Team win recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...cross-device-development/twrp-exynos-t3763464
ElementalX Kernel https://elementalx.org/devices/samsung-galaxy-s9/
No verity encrypt: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754474353
Magisk 18.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Now for the root
First you need to unlock OEM, you can do this in developer options,
If there is no developer options you need to enable this
you can do this in: Settings>About Phone > software information > click 5 times on build number.
When you unlock OEM everything on your phone gets wiped so make a backup!!
When the wiping is complete, turn off your phone and go to download mode (Vol down + Bixby + Power)
Then connect the phone to your pc and start odin
In odin go to options, and disable f.reset and auto reboot.
Then press the AP button and select the TWRP image you downloaded.
When TWRP is flashed, force reboot your phone (Vol down+ Power) when it is powered off quickly press Vol Up + Bixby + Power to get into recovery
Swipe to allow modifications. And format /data
Then reboot into recovery.
When rebooted mount USB Storage and connect the phone to the PC
Then you can click&Drag the other files (elemental, Magisk, No verity)
When the files are on the phone, go to install and search for the files you just put on the phone.
Install in this order:
Flash No-Verity-Encrypt
Then flash the custom kernel (ElementalX)
And as last flash Magisk.
When you did this, you want to Factory reset, Wipe cache and Dalvik.
Then you can reboot the phone, and install it.
(It is possible that you stay at the boot logo for a long time (Not the galaxy s9 one but the next one) What you need to do then is let it boot for 5 minutes, then force reboot (vol down+Power) and then the phone boots fine)
Again, just to make sure check if OEM is still unlocked (sometimes this get locked again)
Please note that when you do this, you lose secure folder and other functions, also is the knox tripped (0x1)
But the Fingerprint, Irisscanner and samsung account works.
SOMETIMES IT IS NEEDED TO INSTALL THE MAGISK MANAGER MANUALLY, YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD THE FILE FROM THE LINK IN THIS POST
Hope this helps.
If you do have any questions, please do the following first;
Note any errors that odin or your phone gives you. I want to help you, but i do need to know what is going wrong.
(Sorry for my bad english)

So you won't need RMM-state_bypass on pie anymore?!? Seems hard to believe...
And why exactly you need to flash that custom kernel, which benefits does this bring with it?

If you dont use the custom kernel, you will get RMM error.
Iris scanner wont work, Fingerprint wont work, Samsung account wont work. When you reboot the phone you get a little "Bootloop" at the lockscreen (Screen flashes and is unusable and your pattern isn't saved)
I dont know what else breaks because i cant even get past the lockscreen with stock kernel
(Also you get better performace and battery life)
Hope this helps
work it with s9+?
Sorry for my English...
Yes, but you want to use tgpkernel then otherwise it will not work (problems described abovel

Last samsung phone i rooted was the note 3, and i remember that doing that "tripped" knox 0x1 and this basically voided the warranty. It's the same with S9? is there some non-reversible change that happens to the phone when rooting?

Yes, the knox will still trip (0x1).
In europe, when you can show that the root is not the cause of the problem, they have to fix it under warranty.
Also there are some functions you will lose (forever)
Knox,
Samsung pass,
Samsung Pay,
S-Health(you can fix this one with a build.prop tweak)
Secure folder
If you plan to use one of these (exceptpt s-health) It is better not to root your phone (there are still external app's you can use if you plan to root your phone)
Is there a way to update the stock firmware when you have root? Or do i have to do all over again?
I have this lock screen flashing bootloop issue, what is the fix? I have tried factory restores but get the same results once I set a lock/passcode and reboot. Samsung Account and Bixby also do not work as you mentioned.
You can use TGPkernel then,
Some phones have this issue, some not.
I have seen that 3 friends of mine it worked, and also on 3 not, so this is a very weird issue
What was the fix with them is to install TGPkernel
@co9
The only way i know is to install a custom kernel,
Otherwise you have to download latest stock rom, and flash this using odin.
wich changes your recovery.img and boot.img, aswell as the kernel. so you have to flash this all over again
Thanks for the answer. I already have a custom kernel. So if i always want to have the latest Samsung firmware i have to flash it through odin and do the whole root procedure again?
I tried this method but now everytime I reboot the phone my bluetooth paired device are lost. They also get deleted if I turn ON and OFF the Airplane mode. Anyone else having the same issue ?
Is anyone else experiencing an issue where the password, pin, or pattern set before setting up fingerprint scanning acts like what was entered is incorrect, not allowing you to setup fingerprint scanning?
I've tried setting up fingerprint scanning on initial setup as well as skipping and trying after the phone has been setup but had no luck. What ever I set initially will not work when I'm prompted later on when trying to setup fingerprint scanning or tying to access other secure features. The phone just prompts to try again acting like I entered in the wrong password, pin, or pattern. I've even tested by setting up a REALLY simple password with no luck.
I have confirmed in the settings that Elemental is installed.
Edit: I did find this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/root-galaxy-s9-exynos-9-0-android-pie-t3884267. I tried the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip that was suggested in some posts but had no success. I've also tried the TGPKernel but had not change in the issue. I am able to setup fingerprint scanning on fresh firmware install but after installing TWRP and everything else the above issue happens.

Don't root this phone without flashing a custom kernel or a modified stock kernel. It will drain battery and reduce the performance or even crash the system.
Look in the TWRP thread there it is explained why you shouldn't do it.

Hi all,
I tried to flash twrp but never succed.

boot into download mode and there is written oem unlock desactivated so ok
with odin try to flash (ap, reboot freset unchecked)
then fails and message in red on the phone :
"only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed recovery"
History :
I was in galaxy project oreo, i wanted to upgrade with pie, but reboot cycle
so rescue with odin and original oreo firmware, then update to pie
thanks for help
regards
To get the oem unluck button visible.
After fresh install, go to time/date in settings, choose manual and set the date 1 mount prior (march will be februar)
Than go to software update, choose manual en click on dowload updates manually.
Restart your phone and the oem unlock button in developer options will be there
Cheers
thank's for answering,
Update done, reboot ok but still not oem options in developpers section
My device is stuck in the initial boot sequence in which the logo will show as if it is booting normally, then it will stay on this screen until it goes completely blank, at which point I have to hold the power button for a long period of time to get it back to the boot sequence. My phone is unlocked and I was trying my first time at flashing a custom recovery and OS, I flashed my device with TWRP and successfully installed it along with a flash of pixel experience, After using pixel experience I wanted to try lineage OS since it wasn't as good as I hoped, so I tried to get into the TWRP and I could not do it at all I tried every method I could search. After an hour of trying different methods of getting to twrp I tried to re-flash the recovery and that is when the phone because unresponsive and does what I have described above. I currently have access to fast boot and I dont want to go ****ing my phone up more than I have. If anyone can give me a step by step guide on how to fix this it would help so much since im new to android and I cant afford another £400 phone.
Thanks

Don't worry, things can be recovered easily. Until you get more knowledgeable and you understand more about flashing use this failsafe to recover from (almost) anything
Go here and get the latest fastboot ROM for your phone.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
For now make sure you get the one that matches the region for your phone.
Then follow this guide to flash it
https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-1.html
Use the fastboot flashing section.
Make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' when flashing. The default option will lock the bootloader again after flashing. If you do the default option with any ROM that is not the same region as the phone you will hard brick the phone, this is why I recommend getting the ROM that matches your phone.
When unpacking the fastboot ROM, it is a Linux/Unix zipped tarball, most Windows zip software will need to extract it twice. The first time will give you a single .tar file (if it doesn't have an extension then rename it and add .tar to the end) You will then need to extract everything from the tar file, which you give you the folder, containing the ROM data, to point the Mi Flash Tool at.
After doing this you, if you've remembered to change the flash option to 'clean all', then you'll have restored to stock and kept the bootloader unlocked. Now you're good to try again.
Keep a copy of the fastboot ROM on your PC and back everything up on your phone before flashing. Then if you get in a mess you know how to easily recover things.
Once you get more experienced there will be other things you might be able to do, depending on the situation, that allow you to get things working without losing everything and needing to start from scratch.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the details post, I will try what you have said above and will report back with my results. I have one question if you know the answer ( My phone is the UK edition of the Mi 9T pro ) Would I need to download the global or EEA fastboot version.

For safety download the EEA ROM.
I also suggest you immediately flash dm_verity (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/flashing-orangefox-recovery-mi-9t-pro-t3980579), after you flash twrp, wipe data and then flash that

Everything you said worded flawlessly and your a life saver. If you dont mind do you have a link to a set of guides on how to correctly flash a custom recovery and lineage OS? since when I try to research these guides I get 5 different versions of TWRP and lock my phone out :laugh:

I also suggest you immediately flash dm_verity after you flash twrp, wipe data and then flash that

If you dont mind me asking could you go into slightly more detial on that since I have seen orange fox but I dont understand what dm_verity is.
Please ignore all reply's above as I am going to make another separate post about lineage OS
Thank you for replying and resolving my issue.
Hi,
Today my device was lagging and I restart it. Just after that I get the bootloop (showing MI.com logo). I can't open the recovery menu using the Power + Vol+ combination, but at least I could load FASTBOOT using Power + Vol-.
Using terminal command "fastboot reboot recovery" also doesn't help. I can't turn off the device as well - after some time showing me the logo device reboots again.
History - I have flashed my device ~1.5 year ago using OrangeFox + MIUI 11 raphael. The reason why I did it was my stock firmware didn't allow me to use NFC, there just was no option to enable it. After flashing everything was fine until today. Btw, device is unlocked. I am not sure what ROM version did use exactly because pretty much time passed already.
I spent a day googling for a solution, but didn't find anything.
What can be the reason? Is there a way to fix it?
If you haven't tried it yet, I'd suggest you flash your latest backup (if any) or flash the stock ROM again.
@TrulyPain no, I dont have any backup unfortunately.
Regarding the flashing stock ROM
1. Before I used OrangeFox to flash the device but now I cant boot recovery mode. Is there a safe way to do so?
2. Does only stock ROM fit? No custom?
Tried so many different approaches today. None of custom recoveries worked. I tried to use stock recovery - same result.
The only thing I didn't try is Mi Flash Pro stock ROM flash, but before that I wish to be sure I tried everything else.
Also, the repair specialist told me (remotely, he didn't check the device) that potentially it can be the memory hardware problem and advised me to visit Xiaomi official repair service. But.. it's pretty complicated for me currently.

I would recommend starting with the stock ROM as you can then more easily see if it is a hardware-related problem or not. Also, it sets a suitable environment for any custom ROM installed afterward. This, as many custom ROMs, don't contain all partitions and need some partitions to be written by the stock ROM, e.g., the "OEM" partition.
After you have installed stock ROM - if everything works fine - you can install any custom ROM of your choice following the recommended instructions.
We tried 2 difference ways to flash to phone using stock ROM, but no luck. Seems the problem was in the motherboard. Left it for repair, but.. doesn't mater already, as everything has lost. After that case I move to iPhone back - there would never happens this **** with data lost in unexpected cases.
Thanks for the help
