[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.

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.
---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
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.

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

Install TWRP for Android 10 (above) using fastboot if the update replaces stock recovery after rebooting
Edited out from original

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

hello friends I have all the updates installed, but it tells me that there is a new one, where can I download it?

How To Guide [GUIDE][REALME 8i][NARZO 50] Unlock Bootloader Flash TWRP and Root [RMX3151][RMX3286]

Hi Guys!
Since there is no deeptest.apk available for our device to unlock bootloader, we came up with another method to unlock bootloader unofficially!
In this guide I'll tell you how to unlock bootloader, root with magisk and flash TWRP on your Realme 8i/Narzo 50 (RMX3151/RMX3286)
Code:
/*
* This Guide is tested and working
* However I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about unlocking and flashing TWRP
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
*/
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
Requirements
PC or Laptop
Internet connection
Realme 8i/Narzo 50
USB cable
Working Brain
Take a backup of your data since it'll be wiped
Go to About phone > Version and tap build number 7 times
Go to Settings > advanced settings > Developer options and turn on OEM unlocking and USB debugging
STEPS
Install Python from windows store
Install USBDk
Download this and extract : https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Download vbmeta and patched boot image (Download for your respective version) in copy to the mtkclient-main folder
Now open command prompt or powershell in that folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now type pip3 install -r requirements.txt and hit enter
Now type python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc hit enter - This command wipes data
Then power off your phone and hold both volume buttons and connect usb cable (DON'T LEAVE THE BUTTONS, KEEP THEM HOLDING THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS) - This boots device into BROM mode
Now type python mtk da seccfg unlock This will unlock the bootloader (If you face waiting for device issue then unplug the device and plug in the device again with holding volume buttons, also don't leave the buttons)
After this unplug your phone and turn it on (It'll show your device dm verity corrupted and first boot might take 20-25 mins, don't panic)
Now your bootloader is unlocked
Due to realme's limitations you still can't access fastboot after unlocking via this method
2. ROOTING YOUR DEVICE:
Install This Magisk apk
Now in pc type python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty hit enter
Then power off your phone and connect usb while holding both volume buttons (and don't leave them)
Now disconnect and reboot phone
Now open magisk
3. FLASHING TWRP RECOVERY:
Download TWRP - From here
Download and install Flashify app
Open Flashify and grant root permission

English is required, you can use your native language too, adding it to your post.
Inside the tool is provided a README.md file with basic instructions and usage. To relock bootloader you can use python mtk xflash seccfg lock just be careful to not relock it while running custom binaries, you have to return completely back to stock prior to do that.

The provided boot image is from A30... Why are u still using A20?

I didn't know about A20 or A30 or anything. You should have mentioined this! Better off dump user's own boot.img and patch it with magisk. Now I have problems. It is good that I've found A20 firmware but it was not easy, I've lost a lot of time to read about firmwares, patching etc.

Sorry but it appears I cannot update. I tried original and modified boot.img, also I installed original recovery. It doesn't help. The phone downloads the A32 firmware, reboots and cannot start recovery mode to update the firmware.

Flash stock boot, vbmeta and recovery then format data then reboot

If I flash stock vbmeta it cannot boot. Is that ok? Should I erase data anyway?

Different device?

Hi Fredin friend,
I Recently upgraded SM-M215G device to OneUi5.1 (M215GDDS3CWD1-20230522142126) Binary 3 and TWRP (twrp-3-5-2-m21-v3-1-a12-tar)but anything I am flashing is either bootlooping or stuck on Rom Logo, I flashed (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip) still only Rom Logo showing, how to boot the GSIs? Any help appreciated.

Hi
If you had unencrypted data (if you could see files in internal storage) and flashed the latest stock rom, but you didn't flash encryption/multi disabler before the first boot into OneUI, it will probably cause problems.
So try formatting data and flash encryption/multi disabler (although I believe dm verity disabler also disables encryption by default, but it won't hurt flashing them). Or you can format data and not flash anything to let data stay encrypted, but then you won't be able to use the internal storage in TWRP.

Hi friend Fredin,
Thanks for the reply.
I used (twrp-3-5-2-m21-v3-1-a12-tar) and it is smooth (just like previous Soulr-A11 twrp) but sideload did not work while the other recovery (TWRP.3.7.0_11.-.M215FXXU3CWB1.tar) by Dev Ravindu Deshan works great too but Reboot to Recovery does not work properly all the time, so sometimes instead of Reboot to Recovery the changes happen when manually reboot to recovery using usb cable also sometimes it does not recognise pen drive. Till now I only managed to boot Tuki1.2 and the other Lineage 20 zip had Oplist error 1 issue. Hoping for GSI boot too later. Thanks for recovery

What do you mean by it's not fully unlocked? iirc the toggle stays like that once the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi Friend,
When I had unlocked the bootloader of the same device while it had A11 loaded in it, the oem unlock button was TOTALLY GREYED OUT (I swear I'm not lying), I mean even the toggle button was greyed out but in above picture you can see toggle buttons are Blue color and oem-unlock toggle button is light-blue but not fully greyed out, I didnt relock my bootloader before flashing A13 Stock CWD1 update
Now I cant flash GSI they refuse to boot always stuck on bootlogo.

Don't think there is any in between state. If you can flash stuff, your bootloader is unlocked. If the GSI is not booting, that's some other issue. Try the new AOSP ROMs instead.

Thanks Friend,
It looks like Royna's ROM zips (Lineage 20 & evolution_m21-ota-tq2b.230505.005.a1-06050648-community-unsigned.zip & crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230427-m21-v9.4.zip) not flashing, reason - TWRP error : 1 Assert failed : update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partitions_op_list") and repartition issue even while sideloading. The only one that boots is TukiRom1.2, I havent tried Tuki1.3 yet. I tried Roynas' TWRP files too but after boot to recovery they get stuck, the other TWRP files (TWRP-3.5.2-m21-v3.1-A12.tar & TWRP.3.7.0_11.-.M215FXXU3CWB1.tar) boot and work with some issues though.
