[Q] Cannot load custom rom

I'm using a Xperia Arc
Android 2.3.4
Build-nummer 4.0.1.A.0.283
I've unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the device.
Now i want to use ROM manager, but nothing seams to work,
Any one some idea on how to continue ???
I would like to be able to load custom roms

Why do u want to use ROM Manager? To take backup of ur current ROM? Rom Manager doesnt have support for SE devices yet.. So to take backup of ur current rom as well as to flash a new rom to ur device u need to do it through CWM i.e. clockworkmod... Do following steps to have CWM installed....
Note : I cant be held responsible if u brick ur phone or ur warranty gets void
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741&page=3
Or Use the DooMKernel (The best! )
1)Copy the custom rom zip file to ur sdcard
2)Flash DooMKernel on ur phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172885
3) Reboot phone and go to CWM.. there u'll find the option to backup ur current rom and install new one with the help of saved rom zip file.
4)Wipe factory settings, Cache,Dalvik Cache
5) Reboot..
Enjoy..

Can you tell me where i can find instructions to do point 2) in your reply?

I have already mentioned the link.. Please check above.. Download the .img file from the link given under downloads.. I doubt if the particular kernel works for ur build but it certainly works for 0.42/.58/.62. So if u want, u can use flashtool and flashtool file to flash with particular firmware.
Once u have the .img for DooMKernel downloaded.. ->start the phone in fastboot mode, just the way u must have done while unlocking the bootloader. once u r on the fastboot mode.. type following command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img (here boot.img is the kernel filename) once it is completed, u have the DooMKernel installed. reboot the phone and open the CWM by pressing the volume button just after u see the DoomKernel image...
Press thanks if it helps u..

Is it normal that i cannot reboot and open te CWM ? it keeps rebooting to normal ...
I really hate these things when they not work ....

[GUIDE][PRO DUOS] Recover B5512 from soft brick using ODIN

I have soft-bricked my phone by trying to install a different kernel and ROM on my Pro Duos B5512.
Flashing only the kernel in the thread by championswimmer didn’t work because of a md5 mismatch.
This guide should also work with other samsung models if you find the right firmware (search on http://www.mod2xtreme.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656825)
All credits go to manoranjan2050 for his great work in uploading the firmware for all the samsung galaxy y devices!
Go here to find the firmware package for the y pro duos
http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread...-Firmware-List
There I downloaded the latest firmware for Europe. Using Odin3 v1.85 I flashed successful and my phone is back up and running!
Here is a step by step:
1. Download and install KIES by Samsung (Odin needs these drivers to work)
2. Download odin3 1.85 (search on xda)
3. Download a firmware pack on mod2extreme
4. Open Odin and put the phone into download mode (volume down+Home+power, then select volume up to enter download mode)
5. Wait for your computer the finish the automatic driver program and your computer should recognize your phone
6. Now select the following files in ODIN (make shure auto reboot and F. reset time is selected)
-> PIT is the .pit file in the firmware map, the box in ODIN to Re-partition should be automatically checked now (if there isn't a pit file then this remains empty)
-> BOOTLOADER, select the file which has BOOT in the file name
-> PDA, select the file which contains PDA in the file name
-> PHONE, select here the file which has MODEM in the file name
-> CSC, select the file which has CSC in the file name
Info:For Save Use Do Not Use Boot loader and pit file. Do this only if everything else failed!
When everything is set-up click start and keep your fingers crossed! When everything goes according to plan your phone should restart, copy some files to system and the reboot again. Your phone is back to life! (boot could take 2-3 min)
Hope you fix your phone!

Nice explanation..
1. Suggestion..
Add "[GUIDE]" to your thread name.. It helps to identify what it is in mobile xda app.. and change mobile name to galaxy y variants.. As i suppose your guide covers both y duos and y phones... And lastly add link to manoranjan2050's thread (link)who is doing great work of providing all latest stock firmware updates to both duos of galaxy y.. So anyway good info..
hit thanks button! If above post helps you..

dude the download link dosnt work..

Thaks for the great guide. In Nitubhaskar's compact kernel thread for our device he gave advice on how to flash stock kernel and recover from soft brick in case you brick phone while flashing custom kernel. Can you add some of that info here and credit the appropriate persons? It would be great to have all relevant soft brick info for our device. Yor thread is dedicated to recovering from soft brick and so would be the best place to have all the facts in one piece

Hi, I have not used odin before, but my phone (B5512 galaxy y pro duos)
has a firmware from another country and I want to have my own
(because then I can write in my language). I have downloaded a file which
has "modem"," csc" and "pda" files only and it's the firmware other people
from my country have (B5512XXLF2) . I think my phone has Polish firmware (B5512XXLL1)
while I want the Greek one. Also, these two types seem the same
(the only difference in the code is the year month and version)
but one has greek keyboard and the other doesn't, what's the deal with that?
Will this method work for me? If not can I recover my phone?
I have not done this before and the phone is less than a month old and I am scared!
Thank you.

Recovery via odin should be possible. As for flashing Greek firmware I recommend you talk to Deadly or another expert via PM before proceeding.

[TuT]-How to unlock Samsung Smartphones FRP/FAP boot lock without "Loosing your data"

[TuT]-How to unlock Samsung Smartphones FRP/FAP boot lock without "Loosing your data"
How to reset FRP-Lock without Loosing your Data
HII..Guyss...
I am Nishant ...here to help you with your FRP-Locked Samsung Devices..
Now from hereby:- I am not Responsible if you gone Rabbit and done something wrong to your device
CAUSE:-
Actually this is beacuse you have flashed with custom binaries..
Custom binaries are like:-Custom Recovery(TWRP,CWM,SuperSU) or any other custom binaries that is not official.
Now these custom binaries modify boot sectors of your smartphone..
and these changes were not detected by your smartphone UNTIL and UNLESS you Turn off OEM-UNLOCK from DEVELOPER option..​Result:-​when you turn "OEM-UNLOCK to Off" OEM-LOCK will be enabled and on your next reboot (it also happens by mistake when you switch you developer option "switch")
OEM-Lock prevent your smartphone from booting with custom binaries...NOW,
.neither you can boot your phone nor you can access in Recovery-mode to wipe and reset..
and that prevent smartphone from booting with any custom binaries inside it..
So,
what now,if you know something about flashing than u have no choice offcourse either flash your smartphone with odin or you have to give it to
Samsung service center to make it work..which means loss of all your DATA (except extSdCard)
but,
I am here to solve your problem.. without Loosing a bit data of yours so, Follow me..
Solution:
1:-first download either your stock Firmware(I am not telling you to Flash your whole android smartphone).
Or...Manage to get your stock Boot.img and recovery.img file from anywhere on the web it is packed inside "your-Firmware.tar.md5" file
if you get your Boot and recovery.img file then skip to step 3
2:- Dwnloaded your firmware files now extract it using 7zip somewhere and copy out boot.img and recovery.img
3:- Download .img-to-tar from below and convert them from .img to .tar.md5 (odin-Flashable file)..
4:- Now first flash recovery.tar.md5 from odin to your smartphone.
5:-Secondly Flash boot.tar.md5 to your smartphone..
The Above Steps will reset your boot and recovery to stock version
Done......
Again its your Buddy Nishant...:good::good: ........enjoyy your FRP unlock
"Dont forget to turn on OEM-Unlock from developer option.."​

.
The title of your thread should be "How to fix Samsung Phones which get stuck on Samsung logo with "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock" Cause your title means how to remove frp not how to solve the stuck problem ..
Thank you

Guide how to root Samsung Galaxy A30S

Could not find a single post or website that correctly explained how to root my Samsung Galaxy A30S that I bought May 2020.
In the end I got it rooted. Here is what I did (I think have to go from memory, not going to restore my phone and try again, was in Knox jail for a week, so not risking that again).
step 0:
download Samsung kies and install
download and install Frija the Samsung Firmware download tool
download adb platform tools and install. Not strictly necessary I think but can be useful and easy way to boot into bootloader if things go wrong.
step 1:
When your phone is new:
update (or wait that the phone updates) to the latest android version
This may take a while an repeated reboots.
step 2
unlock the bootloader :
1. go to Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly so that the Developer mode will turn on.
2. In the developer options, there is an OEM unlock option then enable that option.
Now Enter Download Mode Galaxy A30s:
1 Turn Power off the phone
2 Press and hold Volume Down + Volume Up keys together
3 While pressing these keys connecting the phone to PC with USB Cable Data.
4 Release all keys when Download Mode appears.
follow the instruction (ie keep the volume up button pressed for over 7 seconds)
step 3:
use the Frija tool to download samsung galaxy 30s latest firmware, the same one that is also installed on your phone
Once you’ve downloaded the stock firmware file based on your device model number, you can extract the boot.img.lz4 file to patch it via the Magisk Manager app. You do this as follows:
Step 4
Copy only the boot.img.lz4 file from the extracted AP folder to your device storage.
Install 7-Zip-Zstandard or use a windows lz4 command line tool to unpack boot.img.lz4 to boot.img
Download and install the latest Magisk Manager app and install on your phone.
Transfer the boot.img file to an SD card so Magisk can access it (or connect your phone and use file transfer)
Next, open the Magisk Manager app and select Install and choose to Install it again.
Then tap on “Patch Boot Image File”.
Go to internal storage and select your device boot image that you moved to your phone earlier.
Now, wait for Magisk to start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image has been patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” from the internal storage and put it somewhere on your PC.
Next repack it to boot.img.lz4 using 7z or lz4 and then do it again but now pack it boot.img.lz4.tar so ODIN can write it.
step 4:
Make sure that OEM unlock is still off!
Enter Download Mode Galaxy A30s and go to download mode.
Make sure it says FRP lock and OEM lock are off.
Otherwise the ODIN write will fail and OEM/knox protection will kick in during ODIN write and it will fail.
And then you have to wait a week until OEM unlock option in developers option becomes available again.
download latest ODIN version.
Select in ODIN 'AP' and select boot.img.lz4.tar and then write it.
That should work and reboot your phone.
step 5:
you may have to install magisk on your phone again.
Start magisk and make sure magisk and magisk manager are up to date.
use the menu in the upper left corner, choose modules and install busy box.
Now install terminux on your phone and use the su command to see if you can become root.
If you type 'su' in terminux magisk window should pop up and ask if you want to grant superuser access to terminux.

how can i repack boot.img.lz4 to boot.img.lz4.tar?

Help pls

Pls someone tell me that this AP file patch correct? I am confusing bcoz of last typing

[TUTORIAL] Root SM-A105FN (tested)

It's my first post and my English isn't very good but I will try to do my best. If someone have problems tell me ^^.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TRANSFER IMPORTANT FILES USING MTP, USE ADB.
1. Download latest firmware using SamFirm and install it in your phone.
2. Extract from the AP the file "boot.img.lz4", transfer to your phone and extract it using ZArchiver. You will get a file "boot.img" .
3. Install Magisk Canary and patch "boot.img".
4. Transfer USING ADB the magisk_patched.img to your PC, rename to "boot.img" and compress it into a .tar called "boot.tar".
5. Unlock bootloader (there are so many tutorials in this forum, don't panic, it's very easy).
6. Untick Auto-Reboot in Odin and flash the "boot.tar", then reboot your device and, immediately, press Vol UP + Power to enter into recovery and erase all data (factory default).
7. Configure Android, install the Magisk Canary apk and let it do stuff. The phone will reboot and you have your phone rooted .
If reboot into recovery don't panic, just press reboot to system (it's normal).
DON'T USE REBOOT OPTION IN POWERMENU, YOU CAN LOSE ROOT, INSTEAD, USE POWER OFF AND THEN TURN ON THE PHONE.

Hi. I'm a newbie. I've got this new Samsung and it's first time rooting Samsung phones. I'm stuck at step 6. Odin says <ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 2006). What should I do? I mention I've put the "boot.tar" file into AP. Or how else should I flash with Odin?
EDIT: SOLVED! I had to run Odin as Administrator
