Samsung J7 SM-J7008 recovery problem - Samsung Galaxy J Questions & Answers

Dear friends, help me please. I have Samsung J7 (J7008) from China Mobile and it has no gapps in it. I have tried to flash twrp recovery (twrp-2.8.7.0-j7elte.img) with odin, but it fails with file size error. Also recovery 3e could update from external card - it says: Update from external storage is disable.
Any ideas?
Need your help, please.

CPU is Cortex-A53 8 core ARMv7 (VFPv4, NEON)

Hello, I'm having exactly the same problem. I can root the terminal unlocking device with CROM service and using: https://autoroot.chainfire.euBUT I cannot install gapps since the common method is to flash it with a custom recovery BUT I cannot do it due to the File size /Binary size is too larger error. Any advice would be really helpful on how to flash TWRP or how to install gapps considering that the device is rooted.
Thanks in advance.

Can you share the twrp file for j7008 chn version?
Thanks

Did u root ur mobile if yes then follow the step no 2 in my post.:good:
Hello hemantparmarc!
I tried your method but the recovery image you linked was not working for me! It even over rode my stock recovery, so I was damn scared but then I tried the manual CWM recovery link and it helped.
But i must say that there are no custom roms available for Karbonn Smart A10.
You should check the linked recovery because it made my stock recovery bad. ( Now its CWM) and i even tried to rename them to boot.img, and recovery.img
If you do know about a rom, please post it.

sorry for currpeted ur Rom.
when i unlock my recovery, i backup my original boot.img, and i'm aware that my boot.img work on other Karbonn A10 smart device.
Use this link for more detail http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379412 . its work for me.
U should read that it and try above link .. may be its work for u also.
There is alos stock rom for Karbonn A10 link below
http://androidxda.com/download-karbonn-stock-rom-models
still u have any problem reply.. dont forget to flow the step in link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379412 it 100% work for me and my CWM mode work properly
i could not have backed up my boot.img because i did not CWM installed, anyways now i do and now am hunting for a custom rom.
i can just port any mtk6577 rom but it could be risky and there is a battery prob with my phone, so a custom rom with 4.2.2 would worsen it further.
So i am staying put for this year and then gonna buy a moto g, x or e! depending on my score in the exams!!

TWRP RECOVERY in to FOTA PARTITION GUIDE (XPERIA S)

Flash TWRP to FOTA Partition(SONY XPERIA S).(Terminal Command Method)I will not responsible if you do something wrong to yor device
You can flash TWRP into fota partition if your kernel supports to flash it.(Ask the developer if support is available or not,To know more about Fota Partition Read here.).if yes then follow procedure.
1. You must have to root your ROM first.
2. Download TWRP.img (is the recovery file) from TWRP website.Place the downloaded twrp.img in sdcard. (Don’t place it under any folder.just copy to sdcard.if the downloaded file name is something else then rename it to twrp.img).
3. Now goto playstore and install terminal emulator app to your phone.
4. Now open terminal emulator app and type
su (and press enter key.it will ask for root permission.GRANT it) then type
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
(and press enter keyr.be careful while you writing the above commands.)
Finished.Now you have successfully flashed twrp recovery into fotapartition.Reboot your phone and when you see pink led just tap Volume UP key to enter to recovery.
Rom Flash Procedure
METHOD 2:
First extract boot.img and recovery.img from rom.zip and copy both to SD card root folder
1. Flash twrp recovery image like you flash kernel/boot.img(by flash tool or by fastboot method).
2. Enter to recovery.
Then follow the image by the numbers written in the image.Swipe to flash.
Then do the same for boot.img but choose boot. Img from SD card and boot(partition) in image 4. Swipe to flash and done.
Sir, Could you please help me.
I have CWM recovery installed on Xperia SL and is running Layers ROM Cm11 based.
But I am thinking of switching to a new rom as the earlier one was very laggy. ([ROM][XS][5.1.1][LMY48P] OneOfaKind 22/09/2015 | UberTC 4.9 | Layers | Aroma Addon)
Could you tell me what shall I do with regards to:
1. Making the build.script change to make it compatible with Xperia SL
2. Do I need a TWRP recovery ? How will it go alongwith the CWM recovery which I already have installed and running pretty well ?
Thanks !

First thing I am not sir..I am also like you...I have just shares my experience to which will help new comers in simple words.
As of your point 1 you have to make change to support on SL...
And about recovery.try to flash with cwm first if not succeed then flash twrp 2.8.4.1 or above and flash the rom.

Problem is I am not able to find support for Xperia SL
The difference between Xperia S and SL is just 1.5GHz and 1.7GHz CPU respectively.. but support for the latter is sh!t

As said by You, the difference is just in frequency, and none in hardware. So what ever applies to XS will apply to XSL.

LineageOS on BLACKVIEW BV9900.

Hello.
I bought the BLACKVIEW BV9900 running Android 9.
I want to install the latest version of Lineageos with Android 10 on this phone, but first I want to know if my phone is compatible and if it works fine on it?
Is it also possible to root this phone?
Are there people on this forum who have already installed Lineageos and rooted this model?
Thanks for your feedback.

When i search on google "lineageOS BV9900" there are sites that offer tutorials to install it. But having also seen on XDA a person who could not boot LineageOS installed on this model, it is for this reason that I would like to have the opinion of other people who have already installed it.
i may give it a try i recently got twrp working on it so its a good a time as any to look around.
(gotta find a way to backup my stuff first tough as its still encrypted and twrp doesnt wanna play with that)
annoyed
I had also a lot of problems ...
I had to reinstall the stock ROM over SP Flash Tool because of bootloop
I then managed to install twrp
- by activating oem in android setting
- activating usb debug mode
- fastboot flashing unlock
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Took the bv9900 TWRP 331 found on the internet)
- Then tried to wipe, but I get an error that twrp is unable to mount partitions...
After searching I was able to get a workaround, a made a "Format Data"
- Install lineage img from twrp and reboot => got boot loop again !
- Then I reinstall only stock system partition through SP Flash Tool, and working again, but TWRP is away ???
Is the scatter File from the stock rom wrong ? How is it possible, that on flashing only the system partition, the recovery gets overwrited ???

Error 1 usually means wrong twrp or install package.
Could you copy/paste the name of the twrp version you're using and also rom, gapps version?
You should be using:
twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0-offain.zip & img file(or higher)
Or the recovery released by TogoFire a couple of days ago.
Steps:
Boot twrp via adb (img file)
Format / wipe / flash custom rom / flash twrp (zip file) / change slot / reboot to recovery / flash gapps and magisk (optional) / reboot system.
