I have flashed C6903_14.1.G.534_ianford10_UK Unbranded.ftf as instructed, turned my phone on, nothing appears, so I am guessing this is what they mean with (display will be blank)
Now I want to run Z1C-lockeddualrecovery(...)installer.zip's install.bat, selecting option 3 (Installation on unrooted ROM). steps from
But how am I supposed to do this?
Please respond, in desperate need of help!

The installer is actually a different file as the one you put on the phone (that one is flashable).
Download the installer from this site ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/ )
Extract it and run install.bat

Hi there, let's go step by step without "shortcuts" that are typically working on PC/WIn.
1. Unlock bootloader of your phone at HTCdev[dot]com [replace 'dot' with . - sorry for confusion I haven't earned reputation to post external links yet]. All necessary tools (fastboot) will be provided to download during process as well as necessary instructions. You need Windows/Linux or OS X computer to complete this step.
2. Download custom recovery .img file and save it to same directory you have fastboot files (e.g. from step 1) on you computer
3. Start phone in fastboot mode (mind fast boot option in Power settings must be unchecked if you using VolDown [-] start option (not necessary if you use adb reboot bootloader). Battery must be charged over 10% (I suggest 30% to stay secure); connect to computer (phone shall display Fastboot USB)
4. Navigate command/terminal window on your computer to location of recovery image file from step 2 (fastboot files must be there or have a correct path specified).
5. On computer terminal window run command: fastboot flash recovery filename_of_recovery.img . Red section must be exact custom recovery file name.
6. You'll get some communication in terminal. If completed OK will be among them, if failure, there will be FAIL with description of reason (e.g. low_power). If only "waitng for device" dislays, check connection with phone.
7. Navigate phone to HBOOT, then select recovery. If recovery don't start, check step 1 and restart from step 3. If only icon with red ! appears, it means you have stock recovery installed. Please verify from step 1.
8. Once custom recovery is installed and working, use it to flash SuperSU or any other superuser app (must be flashable .zip to be applied). Install just 1 root application, to avoid problems. At this point, you may consider flashing busybox also if you plan extensive file modification, but it's not necessary for root. For any sake, clear cache befor restart.
9. Restart the phone - you shall view SuperSU application or any other superuses app you've flashed i step 8.
Hope now works.

Thanks for your answer, I have to say I properly unlocked the phone so I do not think there is a way I messed up with this step as when I start bootloader it clearly shows on the top of the screen ''UNLOCKED".
When I flashed recovery on my phone I had no errors prompted or any message of failure. The process went well until a success notification.
Now when I start my phone into bootloader I repeat, I clearly see that recovery has been installed but when I attempt to start it then I'll be almost instantly brought back to the bootloader screen... now I started to wonder if... if an update of android could cause this kind of issue? The point is my phone is using android 4.4.4 and not the factory version 4.4.2. I remember having updated my android version which was perhaps a mistake as this phone is not very old and I was planning to root it in the next days... Now I'm not expert just try to figure it out.
I tried different system to auto root via different apps, some using the PC some using directly the phone, I never get any success...

Download ODIN, TWRP, SuperSU, Samsung Drivers
- Copy the SuperSU.zip to your phone's storage
- Install Samsung Drivers
- Unzip Odin and start it
- Start your phone in "DOWNLOAD MODE" (Power off and then hold "Vol -" + "Home" + "Power")
-Connect phone to your computer with a usb cable
-Click on "AP" in "ODIN" and select the downloaded TWRP file
- Uncheck "Automatic Reboot" in ODIN
- Press "Start" and wait until its done
- plug off phone, remove battery and put itr back in again
- Start phone in TWRP mode ("Vol +" + "Home" + "Power")
-On first start TWRP asks you for System write premissions --> grant
- Within TWRP press "Install" and select the SuperSU.zip
-Reboot your phone and enjoy root
did you try Kingroot
Just to inform the next guy finding this thread through google like me:
I used LSxDs steps without issue, but in my case afterwards 3 more steps were necessary;
1. Open the SuperSU app and when asked to disable KNOX click yes, the app will hang on "disabling KNOX".
2. Restart the phone.
3. Open the SuperSU app again and when asked to disable KNOX click yes, this time it works.
Thanks to LS.xD for the steps, rooted a i9195i successfully today!
For me it worked without the 3 additional steps from LordPoopyIV.
For the next one: I tried it under Linux with JOdin. Did not work for me, because of missing 'pit file'. With odin under windows it worked flaweless.
Worked perfectly!! Thanks!
I'm having an issue - when I try, then I'm stuck at this step:
"-On first start TWRP asks you for System write premissions --> grant"
Mine does not - and it does not have the "install" option - only reboot, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data, wipe cache and apply update from cache.
Any help in moving forward would be greatly appriciated..
Could somebody please update the links for Odin and supersu that LS.xD mentioned in the first post?
Thanks!
Who knows which HSPA+ version is supported on i9192i? I suppose it is HSPA+ up to 42Mbits, isn it? On regular i9192 it is HSPA+ up to 21Mbits, but i see i9192i works on 25 Mbits right now, so it should be more fast version, which one exactly?

How to Flash TWRP & Root Samsung Galaxy A10 series (Unlocked Exynos Only, A10s (A107F/M) not supported)
NOTICE :
Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
- Your warranty will be void
- Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with un rooting, some may never.

If you are ready with condition, move further -
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Before moving to root device, must read every single instruction given below as any small mistake can lead to fail to achieve root or may brick the device.
A. Unlocking Bootloader
This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.
(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!).
How to get OEM Unlock option back?
1. Open the Settings app. Tap on General Management → Date and time.
2. Use the toggle button to disable Automatic date and time.
3. Set date option will be enabled now. Tap on it, and set the date to about 10-20 days earlier.
4. Enable developer options.
4.a Go to your device Settings.
4.b Select ‘About phone’ » tap seven times on ‘Build number’.
└ This will enable Developer options under Settings.
4.c Go back to Settings » scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see Developer options menu.
5. Open developer options (in the Settings app itself), and find the option called ‘Auto update system‘. Use the toggle button to disable it.
6. Now, go back to the main screen of Setting, and then tap on Software update.
7. Disable the option ‘Download updates automatically‘.
8. Tap on ‘Download updates manually‘ option, but it will give you an error because of the wrong date, so it’s fine.
9. Restart the device.
10. Go to Settings > Developer options. The OEM unlock option should be enabled now.
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode, long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device.2. setup the phone by skipping the wizard.
B. Disabling Android Verified Boot
1. Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode.
2. Download Odin 3.14.4 or newer and make sure Samsung USB drivers are installed.
3. Open Odin and put the vbmeta_disabled.tar into USERDATA slot and click "Start"
4. Your device will reboot but it will not boot into system as vbmeta signature has changed.
5. Your device will reboot into RECOVERY mode automatically and prompt "You have to reset your device to factory settings". Use "Volume Up" or "Volume Down" button to move and "Power" button to select. Confirm and reset the device to factory settings.
6. This is the last time the data on the device has to be cleared. Afterwards, if you don't re-lock bootloader or re-enable the Android Verified Boot, you will not lose your data. Be aware, a stock firmware package contains a Android Verified Boot Metadata Image (vbmeta.img) with verifications enabled. You will need to flash the vbmeta_disable image (put into USERDATA slot) along with the stock firmware (use BL, AP, CP, CSC slots) to make sure AVB is not re-enabled and the data is preserved.
C. Flashing TWRP/Magisk
link
Important :
Due to the fact that some devices no longer uses ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to boot to recovery every time if you want Magisk. Since both Magisk and recovery lives in the same partition, what you actually end up getting when you choose to boot to recovery will be determined by how long you press volume up.
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)

Hi
Thanks for putting out the details guide!
I followed the steps carefully but got stuck at step 12 - the device boots to download mode and says: "error verifying vbmeta image..."
Luckily I was able to flash it back to stock - but the magisk_patched.tar looks faulty (I copied it using adb) so no root for me
Any ideas?

Flash AP file only for some reason the BL tar include vbmeta.img but you can patch it too.
I also hit the same problem that soft-brick my phone.. just to confirm, the AP.md5 file u said to use, its name is this? AP_A105GDXU2ASE3_CL15918313_QB23932289_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar

My bad I didnt test this, the BL file contain vbmeta.img and need to be patched. Will try to find better solution.
You can flash stock BL file only then reboot again to bootloader and flash the rest files.
I see.. no worries.. I tried to flash the patched ap file with the stock bl, it soft brinked my phone the last time I did it.. anyway, I will wait for your workaround..
Appreciate your help!

I think it would be helpful to users if there were a single multi-disabler for all Samsung devices. To that end, I've incorporated your changes for the A10 into my multidisabler and attached a test version to this posting.
Will you please test it? If it works for you, I'll issue a new release.

Thanks. In your case, it's easier now if you just verify that the script I attached is working, since I've already integrated the changes you made in your clone.
Anyone who wants multidisabler support for a new device, however, can either send me a pull request against the latest code, or run the following script on a live, rooted device:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
getprop ro.boot.bootloader
echo --
ls -l /vendor/etc/init/pa_daemon*.rc /vendor/etc/fstab.exynos*
echo --
cat /vendor/etc/fstab.exynos*

Hi dude..
I tried it.. unfortunately I still have problems.. here are some of the problems
1) my 7zip does not allow me to mod the BL files within the md5 extension, so I extracted them out and replaced the file manually then zip it to Tar.. (the VBmeta file is only 1kb) is that right?
2) after flashing via odin, I did a reboot, I encountered a VBMEta error, "Error verifying vbmeta image" Verification_disabled bit is (cant see it, block by the camera module)
In the end, i restored the firmware and got everything back.

Try using this vbmeta.img (inside the tar file). It worked for me on the A20 with similar error. This file normally seems to be a checksum checker and if it doesn't match what the phone wants to see it gives you that error. But this file was modified to essentially be blank so there is nothing to give the phone an error.

Hey Guys Im Back! Thank you for the support and how it blew up. I have tested this on Android 10 UI 2.0 and it works better then ever!
Also installed lineage os : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a10/development/rom-lineage-os-a10-a105f-t4078093
So i tried using afaneh92's tutorial which will be linked here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a10/how-to/magisk-root-galaxy-a10-series-t3963822
Which lead to me bootlooping or softbricking and my storage was reduced from 32 gb to 16Gb so i decided to work on my own method!
Credits go to afaneh92 for the Twrp!

What happens if something goes wrong.
1.SV Error Device 1 library 0 - You installed the wrong firmware look for the right firmware.To check go in recovery mode and look at the A105XXXXXX and then look for a download. Remider AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
2.vbmeta.img error - you have the wrong vbmeta.img file. Redownload the original firmware and take out the right vbmeta.img next time you try flashing. Reminder AP->AP BL->BL CP->CP HOME_CSC->CSC
3.A blue screen telling you to use samsung switch emergency update. That wont work so just flash the original firmware and try flashing twrp again.
4.When i try to boot in it gets me into TWRP - Thats just because that your data is corrupted and to fix it while in TWRP mode press wipe then swipe after its done press Reboot To System. That should be a fix
5.My internal storage is just full of weird numbers and I can't download anything on it! Go in TWRP then wipe,press advanced wipe, click on internal storage and data, swipe. That should fix the error
6.Boootlooping or Bricked! Installed corrupted firmware or the recovery was f-ed up. Then install the right firmware and redo the steps!
If you have issues during the process send it in the comment ill try to respond as fast as i can!
i notice thread title says exynos only.. u do know they are all exynos including a102u and a102u1 right?
Oh. Alright thanks for telling me.
Press on app? I have nothing in odin saying that, do you mean ap?
Edit: guess not....i'm bricked, stuck on galaxy logo, device not recognized by pc, holoding power button wont force reboot, nothing lol.
Edit2: can force reboot holding volume down and power but instantly stuck on logo again, cannot power off or enter download, nothing...bricked. Followed this guide to the letter. I assumed when you said app in odin you meant ap since there is no app button. My bootloader unlocked then I went to flash in odin the tar i made with patched boot and vbmeta, along with recovery linked. I used matching firmware to what my A10 has also. Would not mind if i could get back into download mode, but that looks impossible now.
Edit3: Managed to get download mode but had to be so quick...hopefully I can reflash stock now.

Im sorry for that and yes i meant AP.
If you wanted to reboot you had to hold vol up vol down and power at the same time and you sure that you unlocked the bootloader and used the right firmware?
Also tell me the AP and from which source have you downloaded it :laugh:

The corruption was my side, I was using a download manager, but when I downloaded through chrome it was all good. As I said, schoolboy error on my part for not checking md5. I used sammobile site for the firmware.

Of course I have unlocked OEM in developer options, but still I get this error in the bootloader.
Any ideas?

Need help rooting Samsung Galaxy A11 5F

Hello,
I am sorry if this is annoying in any way. I have spent the whole day trying to figure out how to root my Samsung Galaxy A11 and already wiped it twice.
There is not TWRP custom recovery available for it. To my understanding so far, I need TWRP if I want to install custom ROMs. I really do not care about installing custom ROMs. I have been trying to figure out how to root using the stock ROM.
Everywhere I look it says that I need to patch the stock ROM before flashing it by patching the boot.img file in the stock ROM download. I have downloaded several GBs of ROMs over a very slow connection and none of them has the boot.img file. I have the tar.md5 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) but not boot.img. How do I proceed in this situation?
My phone model: SM-A115F/DS
Baseband version: A115FXXU1ATG1
Country: Egypt
Any help will be much appreciated.

I have managed to find this saviour.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79106875&postcount=6
I downloaded a random J6 firmware in another site.
You have to use 7zip software, it's free, much better than WinRar and supports tons of compression formats. Do these steps with 7zip:
-Unpack zip file.
-Rename the "*.tar.md5" to "*.tar".
-Open the ".tar" file and unpack "boot.img.lz4".
-Unpack "boot.img.lz4" file.
-It's done, you now have the "boot.img" file you were looking for

Just one thing to point out, 7zip did not work properly to extract the boot.img from boot.img.lz4. I used the solution in this answer. https://superuser.com/a/1533657
Now, let's see if I can patch the boot.img

Hey there. I'm searchin' for TWRP for my A11 and no use.No one compile it and nobody can't write full f*****' guide how to build TWRP without any config file (or how to create 'em for building from 0). But honestly I'm not about TWRP.
Why do we need TWRP for Android 10!?
A: Samsung lock phones /system partition to Read-Only state. You can get root but you can't mount your partition as Read-Write, make changes in it. It's only waste of time.
How can I install ROOT for my samsung A**?
A: Very simple. I suggest you using Magisk Manager for it!
What do I need and what do I must do?
A:
1. You need unlock the bootloader of your phone (data will be lost).
2. You need original USB cable (from box of phone).
3. Yon need last firmware to your phone. (I'm using SamFirm or Frija)
4. Windows 7 or higher.
5. 7-Zip
6. Odin
How:
Stage I: Bootloader.
0. Remove all Google and Samsung Accounts
1. Make data backup (for recoverying)
2. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> ADB Debug (set Enabled) (Search in web how to get Developer options Settings menu)
3. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM Unlock (set Enabled)
4. Turm off Phone and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Plug USB of Phone to your PC BUT PHON MYST BE UNPLUGGED!
6. Push and hold buttons: VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN and plug USB from PC to your Phone and still hold buttons!
7. When phon will be realy you'll see a light blue screen that ask you: Shall I unlock bootloader (Long press Volume UP), Shall I enter in download mode (short 'click' Volume Up) or I must turn off (Hold Volude Down)
8. Press and Hold VOLUME UP
9. On screen you'll se the message you'll unlock your bootloader... To hell Press POWER BUTTON.
10. Phone goes to reboot and start WIPING PROCESS!
11. That it. You unlocked bootloader. But will you install ROOT?
If so:
12. Make first setup of your phone but don't set google account and etc. Just make it working.
13. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> ADB Debug (set Enabled)
14. Validate that's you've done everything right: Find OEM Unlock if toogle is gray and not responging to your actions then you've done right!
15. No download firware to your PC.
16. After you had downloaded firmware for your phone you'll fave few files you need file with prefix "AP_" open it with 7-Zip.
17. Get from it file: "boot.img.lz4" and put to some location at your PC.
18. Pack your "boot.img.lz4" with 7-Zip to "boot.img.lz4.tar" (YOU MUST USE *.TAR ARCHIVE TYPE)
19. Install Magisk Manager to your phone and put your archive "boot.img.lz4.tar" to location: Internal Memory/Download
20. Connect to WiFi and run Magisk Manager.
21. Make Kernel Patch with Magisk: Select: "Install Magisk" -> "Patch boot image" -> in file picker navigate and select "boot.img.lz4.tar"
22. (Magisk will do everything)
23. When it's done in folder "Internal Memory/Download" will be magisk_patched.tar copy it to your Windows.
24. (On PC) Run Odin as Administrator. And in tab "Options" unselect checkbox "Auto Reboot"
25. Turn off your phone and wait for 10 seconds, then Press and hold VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN and plug in your USB from PC to phone.
26. Phone will ask you what do need to do, just click VOLUME UP and you enter into Download mode
27. Odin must show you COM number.
28. Select as AP file "magisk_patched.tar" and press Start.
29. If you see PASS! in Odin - You've done! If ERR! then you failed to unlock the bootloader!
30. Now turn of fyour phone and enter into Recovery Mode (on turned off phone hold POWER + VOLUME UP)
30.a. If you failed to enter try in with ADB command: 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)
31. In Recovery Mode Make: Factory reset + Clear Cash partition.
32. Power on your phone. Again make FULL PHONE SETUP an reinstall Magisk Manager
33. PROFIT!
