Bloatware Free Stock Firmware - Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers

Hello Comunity.
i'm a new user of sm-g532M (mexico), my questions is:
Does this device have a bloatware free stock firmware? 'cause in sammobile.com there are only 3 files but already with carrier bull**** (iusacell, movistar, telcel)
Or the only way to debloat it is through root.
just asking because i saw dev sub_zero has been working to port LOS to this device (can't wait to flash a stable version of it)
thanks in advance for your comments.

No, you have to manually remove bloatware. Not many devs are working on this ROM.
As for a stable version of LOS, there's still a LONG way to go.

I have no experience with Magisk, I've never felt the need to use it. So I recommend SuperSU, but you may try Magisk if you want

[Q] No root after last update (SuperSU binary not installed)

Hi there!,
I installed Cyanogen ROM, I tried it for a few days and I liked, but I loose a lot of sound quality using bluettoth audio.
I think the Aptx bluetooth codec, insatalled in stock rom really works.
I have all my music in my phone so I decided to come back to stock and get the aptx quality sound.
I tried to install xposed today but I get a message telling me that I have no root access.
My SuperSU tells me that binary SU is not installed.
Does the last ofifical update change this binary???
How can I restore it?.
Many thanks in advance.
How did u come back to stock??
Did u restore nandroid backup or did u flash a stock firmware through odin ??
Either way you need to give details of the baseband version of stock firmware you are using.

With newer kikat firmwares there is a problem in rooting process. Search in general section. You will find a thread with procedure to root newer firmwares. Also make sure you flash latest cwm 6.0.5.1 and latest supersu (2.45).

Installing lastest rom and rooting

Hey guys.
I have installed 6.10.13 MIUI 8.1. When i bought my mi5s phone they installed me that rom and told me that my bootloader is unlocked.
So my question is for someone to write me steps of installing lastest version of european rom. And i didnt find any rooting guide so I would be grateful if someone write me that.
Thanks in advance.
Rooting
You don't have to root the phone to flash custom ROM but be sure that bootloader is unlocked. Boot to fastboot and check: fastboot oem device-info. I have never used Roms from Xiaomi.eu because in general their rooms are Chinese weekly -chinese AP's + more system languages. English is fine for me.
There is a installation guide on site: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/

Well, it is a ROM from reseller a modified Chinese I guess. Version 8.0.10.0.0. As everything works fine I will keep it as long as some better alternative comes. I have been reading about the others who switched to original Chinese but afterwards regretted they did it. If I were you, before you try some other ROM, I would flash custom recovery TWRP and save/backup current ROM you have now, just in case.
The other option is to flash original Chinese developer ROM and then root the phone and finally get rid of Chinese thrash.
Best luck!

OK. Thanks.
I just realized that they installed me twrp recovery 3.0.2 . Also checked that I have unlocked bootloader .
If I install that weekly rom, what will happen with my data?(will i lose data or it just wipe system and put newer version)
So my last question is how to root mi5s.
I saw in twrp that there is SuperSu option, is this one of ways to root phone?
I prefer eu rom have more optimization just download rom on your phone boot in twrp volume up and power install rom and after that wipe cash data is untouched. Reboot system phone will need some time to boot because it build cash and after that it start to optimize installed applications. It's really simple.

For root install latest super su in twrp...
Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
Thanks for answer.
But I want to be sure, Should i install su from twrp or I need to download and put zip in phone and then install?
Sry for being annoying and asking probably stupid question but I dont want to brick my device already hahah.
One more stupid question, I install SU after rom install?
Ok
Always make back up in twrp in case something happen..
I didn't root my phone but i root all phones that i have before.
So install rom first in twrp than flash super su in twrp all zips need to be on phone. I download everything that i need on phone directly...

[Q] Can I download last firmware from OP3 page and install using TWRP?

Hi guys, I didn't find any concrete answer here so posting this.
I have OOS 3.2.7
I am rooted
I have TWRP recovery
System wants me to install OTA, before doing anything I checked the internet and found it will not work.
What is the best to install the OTA?
Can i do with FlashFire?
Do I need to install the entire ROM downloaded from OP3 official site and re-flash SuperSU? (http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/)
Can I install the OTA with TWRP???
I need a clear answer cause for some reason the community is not aligned on how to do this and I dont want to brick my phone.
Thank you in advance.
there's several threads addressing this exact concern

Get the modified twrp by eng.stk. you can flash the official rom with it. Official twrp will be replaced by stock recovery.
Flashfire didnt work when i treid to install ota, you'll have to download the full rom and either dirty flash or clean flash it. And yes, you have to reflash supersu everytime you reflash a rom.

Hi guys, ther's a way to root Htc 10 Oreo with SuperSu by Chainfire? I've tried the procedure for Nougat without results. I need SuperSu to use Sunshine and I've read Sunshine is not compatible with Magisk.
yes after Oreo update battery drain and heating has increased. Regret updating to Oreo.
Nevermind - found it in another thread.
Hi
I was checking to see if I can find the original recovery file anywhere in case I want to apply an OTA.
I can't seem to find out which version I have installed when having Oreo installed..
Does anybody have a copy or know where to find it. My htc10 version is cid: htc__34 mid: 2PS620000?

No OEM Unlock in developer options
Can't seem to unlock the bootloader for the life of me. Tried everything listed to no avail. Developer options does not have the OEM unlock option anywhere and i've done multiple factory resets and reset into recovery mode/reset, etc.

Better than bootloader unlock, just S-OFF without unlocking the bootloader. http://theroot.ninja

Flash only recovery.img from stock ROM using command code: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will not work, your mobile will do a bootloop, you have to reflash the complete firmware.

It should work if
you have disabled dm-verity
This can be done either with a zip file which disables it or by flashing magisk
but obviously you will not be able to flash any ota - you will need to flash stock firmware and it is recommended to lock the bootloader just to make sure everything is back to stock
