Hi guys,
recently bought this A5 at reasonable price( 50$). It goes fast as any other 4-core brand named device i have seen. But it came with much bloatware such as a search service that somehow i cant stop. I must disable it once a day and then again tsoup! it is on again...Anyway that's why my first thought was rooting the device.
Sometime ago i rooted and old samsung with just a click. But this blackview seems to be solving the circle square. No support, google says little only some russians i can not understand.
So, to end this story i need help to root this device. Flash a modded preinstalled rooted version maybe?
Thanks in advance...
Edit: Managed to root it finally. just flash supersu via twrp(3.03 custom recovery image from needrom site)...8 hours piece of cake ^-^. Thank god for the last beta version 2.79 SR3 201xxx of supersu. All the other version had me to bootloop.
Hi there, please tell me how you did it. Some links to the correct files would be great.
Kind regards, Skyfire

Sorry for the delay, just go to needrom.com under blackview section u will find many costum twrp. I used the 3.03 version. U will also need sp_flashtools, adb drivers and a mt6580 scatter file to flash the twrp from your pc. Let me know if u need any help.

I flashed the recovery.img with sp flash but when I enter recovery mode, twrp doesn't show up...
Instead, the stock recovery mode boots up.
sp flash says that the flash was successfull but it doesn't work out for me...
btw I only flashed the recovery.img. I didn't flash any boot.img or anything else.
any ideas what went wrong?

That's hell of a problem...did u select the scatter file in sp tools? maybe your firmware is different version? if i remember correct there are 3 versions of blackview A5. I have the A5_C1_Blackview_SD_Q20160709. If different then u must find a twrp for your version..Sorry mate
There is a thread over at 4pda with different versions of twrp but the links are all down. Maybe if you find somebody that speaks russian ore use google translate you can get it there.
Today my new A5 arrived and of course I wanted to root it.
But I have a new Build number = A5_C1-Blackview_SD_Q20161010
Also the drivers are not working.
Does anybody ca help me out ?
thx in advance
My build = A5_C1_Blackview_VO.X_20160420
Would this be a good idea...? Or a bad idea...?
If I go into: Settings -> About phone -> Wireless update
There are no OTA updates available... But there is an option to install "Local updates". I can select the "SuperSU" zip but I get warnings about bricking the phone:

So, would this produce desired results? Or brick the phone?
While I'm here, what about installing custom ROMs, eg one of the 6.0.1 ROMs from needrom.com?
helo, i want to root my blackview 5, i already downloaded all files that should be used to preparing the root. but the problem here is all this files and procedures are odd for me. can you screen shoot how to root start at the beginning? tq

Hey guys I'm kinda new to Android I've had a chappy phone and now an LG g pad after attempting root about a dozen times I finally managed to get it root now I am trying to get TWRP to backup the tablet and change the boot animation later but every time I tried on my pc it would fail so I installed flashify and tried with that I then I got a boot error saying security issues. The tablet stills boots but I believe the problem is the locked boot loader. Thanks for any help offered.

Have you installed root checker or another program to confirm that you do, in fact, have root? Start with that.
If you haven't installed a superuser app to handle permissions, I'd do that as well before trying to install TWRP.
I'll admit I had troubles installing TWRP as well, when looking at the forums, make sure you're downloading the version for your EXACT version of android and firmware, and following the instructions for the right version as well. Good luck!

there is a trick on this phone when you boot not official boot or recovery image,
it will get stuck in boot logo if you reboot.
the solution is to restore aboot-bak to aboot partition, so that's what i did in "init.restore.sh" script.

I'd suggest using /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot instead.

Do not flash official ROM zip in TWRP recovery, try it in official recovery or modify the ROM zip script.

I am not an android program-maker. I don't know anything about that. I will wait for an custom rom. As I posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...ng-rom-zip-asus-ze500kl-t3302389#post65465004, Original recovery is unable to flash. It's weird !!!
Anyway, very good job for this twrp. It gives me hope !!!
This TWRP, suitable for ZE500KG ?
Please,
I was waiting so long (2 months now, i check almost every day) for a custom ROM to flash my ZE500KL, but it seems that no developper is interested to build it... so, please, is there anyone who own a ZE500KL (of course, a working device ), who can do a TWRP backup, who can upload it in a server (in zip or rar), so i can download it and do a restore to my poor device ? Please
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

The best i've done till now is to :
- download the .222 stock rom from Asus
- Extract it, and edit the update-script to remove the 4 first line talking about device kind
- Recompress in ZIP and flash through this TWRP 3.0.0.0 (it's weird that stock recovery can't flash the original ZIP) ==>> no more error device, it said that it succeed
But it don't really fix all problems :
- The device is booting and i can access the welcome screen, but either it stucks and reboot automatically after 3 or 4 minutes, or stucks and i have to remove battery, or i have a lot of errors like "goggle play stopped" or "process.xxxx stopped" or something like these
All details concerning the problem is there http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...ng-rom-zip-asus-ze500kl-t3302389#post65465004
Tested and Flashed on a ZE500KG, It works flawlessly!
Forgive me if this is a noob question, but does this also work on ZE551KL, or should I stick with this one
wow, it's sweet.
maybe it's time for coming back for ZE500KL.

I can go into the ODIN MODE [VOLUME DOWN key and then press and hold the POWER button]
but when i try to go in recovery mode... [VOLUME DOWN key and then press and hold the POWER button]
I tried to flash a new rom with ODIN, downloaded on sam mobile, but it miserably failed...
I tried to fix it with kies, “Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" , it downloads something but doesnt do anything else..
What could i do to fix my phone?
I really appreciate any help you can provide. :good:
What error messages did you get in Odin?
@ Audit13
This is the error...
Looks like the phone is running a newer version of 4.4.2 than the firmware you are trying to flash. Download a version of 4.4.2 that is newer than nd3.
This is the only 4.4.2 available for my country sammobile.com
Maybe i should look, and download from another country, what do you think?
I'm experiencing the same issue as you with a N7100 tough.
I tried on a Windows VM with Odin, then on a physical Windows with Odin, then on a Linux machine with Heimdall, and it failed like you.
This is the log I have using heimdall: https://gist.github.com/wget/c898258625a076d07324385ada238572
And I was able to get the PIT file, but I don't know if the RECOVERY, SYSTEM and USERDATA partition are stil working https://gist.github.com/wget/695adc3aff04876a837b39f9fbbf53ab
My purpose is to be able to boot again to that device and recover its data.
You have tried different USB cables and USB ports?
Yes i did with various Samsung cable ,i also changed pc to try it, same error occured.
Can you flash a new recovery on it?
How do i flash a new recovery? Can you tell me what can i do with a new recovery ? (i ve read some informations about flashing recovery / custom recovery , but i dont really know how to proceed.)

Using Odin you can flash TWRP recovery and wipe everything on your phone. After that you can try to flash Stock again or a custom ROM. Maybe a CyanogenMod based. Good luck!

My i317 did the same thing all of a sudden....was running stock, no root. everything was fine and then poof, samsung logo.... now the phone won't even turn on anymore. Heard it's SDS so I got a hold of an old n7105 and switched the motherboard. Now looking for a ROM to flash since I'm starting from scratch again
I tried to install the recovery but it didnt work ( look my previous post)

Hello everyone. I currently have a A505W Canadian variant, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I made the big mistake of updating to the last version of android 11 and, while I prefer android 10 for what I need the phone to do, I can't downgrade anymore. I'm trying to install, at that point, any custom rom there is. But I can't. I don't know if it's related, but every time I try to install a rom, with TWRP, I always get the error "Unable to mount '/vendor'" and the installation fail. Some rom get concidered successfully installed, by their custom installations process, but end in a boot loop. All I can do is install the stock firmware with odin. I've been on this for 3 days now, can anybody help me? That would be much appreciated. Have a nice day!

So far, only international variants(F and FN) are being built so we don't know if any rom will work on W variants. Maybe try GSI, they are almost the same but they mostly differ in vendor

yes, you should definitely check GSI and sGSI out. Some of the a50 users manage to boot android 13 dp1 on A50. for GSIs https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/

I'm on it. I think I found one GSI rom that is working pretty well for now. I need this phone to do a very specific job. I prefers magisk 23 for this since I need magisk hide. So I tend to go with older version of android (10 or 11). Also, the lastest stock firmware was not really up to the task either (got many bugs) and I made the mistake to update my android 10 stock, which was working perfectly, to the last official version of 11, so no downgrade possible for me. I just need to find the right rom for my needs now.

Search XDA for the latest Frija Windows application version. Beyond that, sammobile.com is where I've pulled my provider's stock images for an upcoming downgrade attempt. You should be able find your provider's CSC easily enough elsewhere; you'll need it to pull the proper ROM.
@AliasGprime how did you unlock the bootloader on your A505W? I'm researching this and see only paid options to unlock BL and no one can reach the member who used to unlock.
EDIT: after several attempts, I did finally get the bootloader unlock menu.
Hi,
Just wanted to put this info out there for unlocking bootloader. ( This would wipe your data )
Model A505W
Steps:
Enable OEM Unlock
Power Off
Hold vol-up and vol-down and power button ( As per other tutorials and videos you have to attach charging cable but that did not work for me )
Follow instructions on screen
reboot ( It takes long to reboot as all data is going to be wiped )
hello every time i flash BR from twrp i get an error at the end.
i would be very grateful for any help. log file attached.
thank you
did you read line 50 of the log? there is everything you need to know
please update your firmware to at least G98xyXXUDFVC7 before flashing Beyond V4.3 again
It means you have to flash original FVC7 firmware (with twrp fvc7 & vbmeta) via odin first, then thru twrp flash BR4.3
