[STOCK][C6602&C6603][4.2.2] Update to 10.3.A.0.423 [Rooted & XZDualRecovery][LB/UB]
Requirements:
Flashtool by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.5 BETA
Current FW version: 10.1.A.1.350, 10.1.A.1.434, 10.1.1.A.1.253 or 10.1.1.A.1.307 all can be updated!
Special features:
Superuser integrated in system, FULL root, no reboots when remounting /system RW!
XZDualRecovery 2.5 BETA (CWM 6.0.3.2 & TWRP 2.5.0.0) pre-installed;
Tailored FTF to minimize the chance of accidental system wiping!
No need to clear caches!
@shem2409 created a nice youtube video guide to assist you in your work, be sure to check this post for it! Thanks m8!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
C6602: How to update to 10.3.A.0.423:
NOTE: STICK TO THIS ORDER AND STEPS!!
For C6602: Download C6602.flashable.423.zip (Bittorrent: 686MB) and C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6602.flashable.423.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6602.flashable.423.zip' in TWRP, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
C6603: How to update to 10.3.A.0.423:
NOTE: STICK TO THIS ORDER AND STEPS!!
For C6603: Download C6603.flashable.423.zip (Bittorrent: 719MB) and C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6603.flashable.423.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6603.flashable.423.zip' in TWRP, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
After updating your NFC firmware and some update information has been displayed, all is done!
I have done this myself, using my own method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :victory:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
TWRP Usage warning: It seems TWRP 2.5.0.0 has issues with the internal storage, which seem related to the changes made to support encrypted storage volumes... This means the internal storage sometimes shows up almost empty (just folders) and no files. Try to use CWM when that happens.
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore a /system ONLY using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP. This time you can skip the FTF as it has already done it's job.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /tmp/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me.
Thank you
Flashable ROM Mutator:
Download AROMA ROM Mutator 0.14
This (former patch package) uses AROMA to create a user friendly menu to choose between updates to be installed.
If you want to switch from SuperSU (default in this ROM) to SuperUser (Be careful, SuperUser is incompatible with 4.2.2!) you can use this to make the change.
If you have the reboot problem when trying to remount /system writable, you can reinstall the superuser app of your preference, it's installation includes the latest patch.
If you are missing /system/bin/chargemon.stock and you want to be able to charge your phone while it's turned off.
Flash using one of the recoveries!
Version 0.13 and upwards is using AROMA 2.70B1 or better, the below warning can be ignored for now. Let me know how it performs!
AROMA Warning: AROMA currently works best in TWRP but even there it has some issues on the Z/ZL. It sometimes does not start up correctly or it has a 'sticky button' issue. It makes it a little less easy to use but this will be fixed in time. It is a combination problem caused by the new hardware and incompatibility with it and the fact the recoveries both have been updated considerably to work on the latest phones, causing issues with some functionality of AROMA.
If it hangs when trying to start, reboot your phone and try again.
If it has the sticky buttons, press the button again to activate.
You can avoid the sticky buttons by pressing them for about half a second (that means not too short and not too long). It will work, it's just showing a bug associated with the latest recoveries.
The Samsung S4, HTC One and One X and the Nexus 4 & 7 show the same issues. For them AROMA sometimes crashes, this is an issue i have not yet observed on the Z/ZL.
Thanks go to @Androxyde for the FTF creation, cheers m8!

nice! so does that mean we dont need to factory wipe before upgrading? I thought if we go across versions (4.1.2 > 4.2.2) you gotta wipe all your stuff first.

After flashing the stripped ftf, the phone doesn't go into recovery. It shows green light, Sony logo and nothing else. Then it just reboot again. Already tried downloaing the file and flashing again. still the same problem.

Ya, I need manual install dual boot to access back to CWM/TWRP then just can install but the preinstall superuser root is not working at all.
Root working back by installing DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v15) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472

Is there any reason why the dalvik cache are not wiped in this release process?
Is it simply a speed/optimisation thing, or will it cause issues if it happens?

Comming from PAC... Do i need to install other Stock rom before update or just use the instructions above? thanks.

Ok, so this is what ive done to get this to boot, on existing rom with recovery installed I flashed the .432.zip, obviously it bootlooped, but then flashed the ftf file which got the rom to boot. Then rooted and installed recovery as Andrewtst has linked to above.
Cheers.

Can't download the zip and ftf file, doesnt work, anyone can confirm that? can you reuploading or verify if is everything ok, thx for the work you done.

It's meant as an update process and not wiping anything will make the ROM treat your phone as one that just got updated

Yes, you need a stock ROM before you can flash this, I would not recommend updating your phone from PAC...

I have modified the guide a bit as i should have done before i posted it...
Restore the kernel to anything other then the 4.2.2 one and then try to flash the update package, after flashing the update, re-flash the kernel.
I made one error in my guide: If someone is not using the correct version of XZDualRecovery (2.5 BETA) then you lose recovery when on the 4.2.2 kernel. The correct steps order to prevent this from happening are now in the OP.

please fix dead links

Sorry guys, the server is under a heavy load at the moment... the webserver lost a few workers that ate up much of the cpu time. I've killed them all and restarted the webserver.
IF the problem was caused by that, it's solved now

Ooh... i now see what you mean... you are correct. I'll patch up the flashable package to do it automatically.
For you, use a file explorer to move the contents (skipping the 0 folder) of /data/media to /data/media/0/. Sorry man, i missed that completely on my phone

.3.2.4 Rollback Images

Hello All,
Warning: Do not flash these files unless you are on .3.2.4 or Nexus ROM 2.0.x.
Here are rollback images (prerooted) which will enable you to get back to .3.1.0
Instructions:
1. Backup your /data partition in Safestrap if desired and copy it to your computer
2. Flash the appropriate file for you device
3. From Safestrap do a factory reset
4. Reboot to 13.3.2.4 modified stock (the screen will go blank for about 15-20 seconds - no problem)
5. Do not connect to WiFi or register your kindle
6. Select Complete Setup Later
7. Copy the .3.1.0 stock update file to the root of your sdcard
8. Initiate update from device options.
Links
- Apollo Rollback Image
- Thor Rollback Image

Reserved

Thanks @ggow !

Thanks for this man.

What are the benefits to go back to 3.1.0 as 3.2.4 is fully rootable and necessary for Nexus 2.0?
I'm still using 3.1/Nexus 1.4 and planned to update the device to 3.2.4/Nexus2.0. But now I'm wondering if I just should keep the current installation.

Unlocked bootloader!

what steps do i take if i m using nexus 2.02 on stock slot?
i have the original stock image 3.2.4 backed up in TWRP if it helps

Warning
Thanks ggow, but this is a warning to all apollo (HDX 8.9) users - do not use file (with md5 hash: 0f9f3b084500b888fc66415a8539a341) to rollback attempt! If you downloaded file Apollo Rollback Image before and want to use it later, please redownload, @ggow just posted corrected file (with md5 hash: 119b5004e96a41eb073c8b324712fe23)

jeryll said:

@ggow you forgot to edit build.prop file, so after anyone boot from this file (md5 hash: 0f9f3b084500b888fc66415a8539a341), kindle will not continue with downgrade to 14.3.1.0 :crying:
No harm done for me, as I backuped everything I can, but beware, if you dont want problems (I found extremely difficult install anything through adb on this installed/running rollback ... you can try edit build.prop file to correct values for downgrade by yourself, but messing with build.prop is highly risky and small mistake and brick is for sure, so you have been warned) WAIT for ggow to upload correct rollback image, or correct edited build.prop for downgrade

I have taken the file offline, Sorry about that @jeryll, will correct file and re-upload.

The corrected Apollo rollback image is uploading now. I'll post the new link in the morning.

Yes full TWRP recovery and yes we can effectively install any ROM we want.

i followed the steps but not sure where it went wrong for me
step 2. that would be the 13.3.2.4_rollback for thor correct? (i have 7 inch fire hdx)
was not sure where to flash this - i used rom slot 2
that installs 13.3.0.9_user into rom slot2 (i dont understand why we still have to update to 13.3.1.0 i guess
13.3.0.9 is not vulnerable?)
following the rest of the steps and rebooting kindle fire system recovery comes up
would be nice to put a link to 13.3.1.0 stock into the OP i found it in the forum)
i did reboot kindle (didnt dare to do reset to factory defaults)
that gets me back to 13.3.0.9
retrying the steps and after reboot rebooting into safestrap i see
openrecovery script installing zip (13.3.1.0)
if i let this continue and reboot i get a flashing screen and then a black screen
what am i doing wrong
p.s. luckily i have safestrap so rom slot 1 and stock still work

2. Flash the appropriate file for you device
Does it mean: Flash the appropriate (rollback) file for you device (in safestrap) (to Stock ROM slot)?

Guess the file has to be flashed to Stock ROM instead of any other rom slot.

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

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.

Thank you so much for the answer Sir AviNash. I've got a question, if I swipe to factory reset, all my downloaded apps would be gone? Or their settings only? I am hesitating to downgrade because I am thinking that it would lost all my downloaded apps including the data. Am I correct sir?

Yes .. factory reset will remove all app setting and app data. You will need to backup appdata on cloud.
Storage data on SD card will not be touched. To be safe .. backup data on Internal Storage as well.

Now my phone is on v331, and this 331 version is bad,.. worse than the 327, but instead of downgrade to 327, I prefer to wait for your "334 upgrade file for 'UBL-TWRP&Root' user" like you did with the 331

Thanks for this

Latest update 339 is proven to be stable and reliable release. Probably it's your phone hardware issue.
Maybe you can try to clear the cache first. If that does not work then try reset the phone. If still doesn't work then bring it to service center.

[Guide] [SM-T515] android 9 Install custom ROM'S and ROOT

SIZE="6"]Use this guide if your tablet is running on android 9. Android 10 is not covered in this guide[/SIZE]
Instructions:
Code:
* READ EVERTHING BEFORE YOU START OR ASK QUESTIONS
* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

you have been very kind. I'd like to ask you one last question. for the t515 (since the lineage os is generic) do you also use a particular kernel (which optimizes performance maybe) ?. thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the guide. Which ROM you recommend? Everything working for you (LTE modem etc)?
Can you now install 64bit apps from Google Play? Any chance you can check if the DJI Fly app is working on your SM-T515?

Thanks

Well, It's still a 32bit rom. I've tried to install the app but I'm unable (prob because the app is 64bit)
Everything works fine, I'm running the lineageOS ROM. I have a data bundle and I'm able to internet with it (if I want )

I thought that this custom ROM is 64bit
When I bought the TAB A I thought it's a bargain, I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to install 64bit apps.

Sorry if this is a stupid question , but before i brick my new SM-T515 I would rather ask the experts.
Now, i have rooted the stock ROM folowing the steps in https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root with no TWRP and want to install one of the custom ROMs you have tested.
will I lose root if flash the Legion ROM GSI?
if yes, can you please put some steps together to root and install TWRP?
i still have the “magisk_patched.tar" from the stock ROM, would that work for the Legion ROM GSI?

In theory it should work. I've already covered "root" also in the guide

I've followed the steps and have Lineage installed on my T515, but when I plug it into my computer it can't see the Tablet in Windows Explorer. I've set it to MTP mode and enabled USB debugging. Strange thing is when I use ADB DEVICES I can see it. Also when I plug it in, the tablet makes a sound and it says 'Usb Debugging...' on screen. It just won't show up in Windows.
Also when I try and use File Explorer on the tablet, it can't see the SD Card. I've tried formatting it for 'Portable' but it when I go back in it says it corrupted. When I format it for Phone Storage, it shows the extra space for the phone storage but I also can't see it in the File Explorer.
Anyone else come across this?

I haven't found one yet, I'm going to try go back to Stock as I need my computer to be able to see the tablet to transfer files over. I've tried installing the Legion custom rom and it does the same thing. I'm not sure but I'd love to get an answer to this and I'd love to use a custom rom.
Are there any other Android 10 roms that I could try?

I have a work app that need a little more ram: the solution is LineageOs (used 1,2gb vs 1,5gb of the stock rom) and I transfer files through recovery. I tried LegionOS but is full of bugs and file transfer doesn't work the same.

I'm back to stock and my computer and can see my table and the SD card is working fine. Its a shame as I'd love to use LineageOS but for now I'm stuck on stock.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong so need some help please. I’ve installed TWRP and multidisabler. I’ve wiped the system cache data etc like I was flashing a custom rom.
I’ve downloaded the rom from the links flashed it via system image but I still get the message no os installed rebooted and just a bootloop saying unlocked boot loader press power button to start then nothing no booting image from linageos. Just repeats.
Can anybody tell me or guide me on what I could have done wrong and what what I should being

Mm strange I didn't experience this problem. Like I stated go back to stock and start over. This time don't wipe the system partition.

Thanks for the reply I will try that when I get home later in the day and will post the outcome after.
Are there any other roms the we could also try.

I followed what you said but I’m stilling getting the bootloop for some reason could share links of what rom you downloaded and etc.
Because there must be a mistake in making.
Also to what I’ve been reading is that I need something of treble enabler for the device but I really don’t know.

I finally managed to get LineageOS installed. I just deleted all the files and redone loaded them, returned back to stock and did the whole process all over again.
And it worked. ? ? so maybe somewhere down the line put have been a corrupt download or something.
Custom rom has whole different feeling on the tablet now. Thanks again for tutorial, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while.
You don’t know of any other roms there out there to try?
