At the "No Command" screen, press the Volume Up and Power button to open Recovery Mode.
This will take you to the recovery screen.
After that, choose "Clear data / factory reset". Use the Volume buttons to scroll down and the Power key to confirm this.
Then select "Yes" with the power button.
At the end, choose "Reboot system now" using the power key.
Do not use this module: "THIS MOD ONLY TESTED AND VERIFIED TO OPERATE ON THE PH-1 ESSENTIAL AND WILL NOT SUPPORT OTHER DEVICES IF IT DOES NOT WORK". in the description

Thank you for your rely Bruno.
I succefully booted by flashing an original boot.img that i found here on the forum, but now the phone kinda bugs and the laucher is laggy from time to time, i would like to know which commands should i use to flash a fresh rom with ADB ( link to the rom : https://en.miui.com/download-354.html)
thanks in advance !

There are batch files included in the archive. Just pick the one which fits your needs. For a clean fresh start without relocking the bootloader use the "flash_all.bat".
Be sure to have fastboot.exe in the same directory where you started the batch file. Don't use "flash_all_except_storage.bat", because you need to clean the notch
killer from your device.
Or use MiFlash tool (google it) and you can flash via a graphical userinterface.

hi , thank you very much , problem solved , great community and amazing members !
May i ask you if its worth it to flash the android Pie we can find here in the forum ?

Stuck in fastboot. No recovery... no bueno :(

So I had my ze551ml / Z00A rooted, was loving life, all was great. Then I tried getting XPosed access and didn't read up on it prior. Anyways, now my phone is stuck in fastboot, I'm able to flash partitions and all, including recovery partition, yet I cannot enter any mode but the hung ASUS logo, or fastboot. I weas even able to load CM's "upgrade to MM bootloader" package, but still the same thing only with green letters where they once were blue..... Please help, I need my beloved phone back.....
I'm not a pro but if you can access fastboot it is just a soft brick and I'm sure many people can point you on the right thread to recover it.
I've scoured the depths of both XDA and the ASUS forums, and while I've gained much knowledge of how I can possibly fix it, nothing seems to work. I go to select "recovery mode" and it instantly just boots right back in to fastboot.....

Thanks -- you can install giovix`s modder tool from general section
Set it up , use`return to stock option` --in that option , first select boot , then after- recovery(both will be stock)
You then can either
A- Reboot to stock recovery ,adb Sideload stock M -- Follow on to B-( to back-up stock before flashing)
B- Unlock bootloader again , flash twrp and root (if twrp version in modder is now 3.0.3.M4 you can flash lineageos)
---------------------------------------------------------------(if twrp version in modder is still 3.0.2.1 M - you will have to flash 303M4 in fastboot or in 3021M twrp.
1) You might be able to, fastboot flash 3.0.3.M4 immediately and forget above A&B completely
For 303M4 recovery see lineageOS in original android development section OP for download link

So I've yet to try your solution, but I do have an update, I was able to, one by one, flash all the stock files (stock as in the stuff I downloaded from asus site) and was almost able to boot to recovery, but when I got to the red triangle android, I couldn't get it to go further. I've heardf alternate key combos for proceeding from there, and tried them all, but maybe I'm just an idiot...... I'll try the giovix solution when I've got time (patience).
**when I tried flashing the cm upgrade package after that, it went back to square 1, so I gave up for the evening.**

Here's the thing. I'm super stubborn, and I think I know everything (cuz I do....) so of course I decided that I could figure something out, so I tried my way first............ didn't pan out.... anyway, I'm finding any time I flash a TWRP file, I have no access to recovery mode. Regardless if I do it manually through fastboot, or CM upgrade/downgrade or even the giovix fix (yes I tried it). My question is this, Where is there a return to stock option? of the giovix DLs I could find, I see a 'magisk root' 'TWRP' 'bootloader unlocker' and 'Xposed' tools, nothing else.... Am I missing something? or am I just skimming over that part?
I do appreciate all the help, seriously. Even if it seems like I'm not taking suggestions very well. It's moreso I don't have access to a computer most of the day, and it's not a huge priority since I went and bought a zfone 3 max a few days ago (decent phone for what it is....crazy battery life)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/tool-ze551mlmodder-t3458145
Functions:
1- Check connection status
2- Bootloader Unlocker
3- Flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 M1
4- Full-auto xposed flasher!
5- Full-auto root flasher!
5B- Full-auto root (Magisk+Phh's) compatible with 184!
6- ADB Shell
7- Return back to stock
8- Erase /system, /data and /cache for a clean upgrade
9 (HIDE)- Auto-reboot to bootloader
10- More functions inside!
well then forgive me for not downloading the correct option. I nowhere see this list among anything I downloaded, so maybe specify which is which ('full' or 'auto')....... I'm already downloading both of them again, because I'm not sure which I already had. But yea, one of the 2 only has the 4 options I mentioned.

So i finally see what you've been trying to tell me, and I returned everything back to stock, but I still have the same problem, recovery now loads but system wont boot up. I'll try loading the individual factory IMG files today, via fastboot, or should I use a zip file from Asus via recovery?

In stock recovery - choose update from adb -- adb sideload cmd is >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Put .134 M asus firmware in adb/fastboot folder first rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE(without zip) before this cmd above and then open up adb and type it in and hit enter.
Just in case you are trying different methods (see if this works )

I'll try it today. Last I checked it was hanging at the ”! Android” screen. But then again I'm not sure I know the combo to get passed that screen, I know it's either power and + or power and - but my only success I got into by button mashing all three keys rapidly, so, yea, I know, I'm am idiot.

EDIT"""" because i got it wrong too , i dont even think about , i just do it
It`s ->
From powered off position
Press Power and Vol +
at two vibes, release power
at boot up screen ,release vol+
in bootloader ,scroll vol up or down to and then select(press power) at recovery selection.
At dead android guy -> press vol + and power for 4 seconds -> release Vol +
You should be in recovery.
i am replying in this post since i have a similar problem, and I am as stubborn as OP. Me posting here is a big step in acknowledging my defeat at last. Hours of digging through the internet didn't solve my problem
I have changed my ifwi and dnx more times than i can remember. (my clean slate is mostly using xFSTK downloader with xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn files)
Using the above mentioned method (giovix`s modder tool) to go back to stock i still boot into fastboot, not recovery mode.
trying to unlock bootloader it says on the phone "unlock fail"
Using asus flash tool with raw files i get "gpt command failed"
Using a manual method i get the "gpt command failed" on the "6. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl" step
in my opinion as soon as i get some kind of recovery my problems are solved. But have been working four hours on this problem with all possible solutions i could think of, nothing but frustration.
info: current ifwi 0094.0183 (wich should be M)
serial 01234........EF
and using the toolkit on "https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/bl-unlock-ze551ml-toolkit-t3546293" i found out my device firmware version is 198 (wich is probably not good in combo with the ifwi)
little update in a certain config (android 5 / ifwi 0094.177 / stock recovery) i can boot up untill the dead android icon, but with whatever key combo can't get past it... (vol up + power) / (vol down + power)
fastboot flash boot recovery.img (yep i am really desperate to get into recovery) doesn't even give me the dead android.
thank you beforehand!
Last paragraph with android 5 ifwi 0094.0177
Is your serial correct ?
Press vol + once is it correct?, if not you will have to xfstk first again and flash raw (twice) with temp bootloader 0094.1069
See my unbrick video for help
First of all, thank you very much for your reply!
I was not very specific there, the android 5 is not the rom (still wasnt able to flash the rom) its only the files like droidboot, ifwi, dnx, .... that i got form lolipop.
Indeed the serial is still 1234........EF (so not the correct one)
I do understand i have to flash the raw twice to get the correct serial, but flashing raw doesn't work. I get "gpt command failed" every time. (so the point where i have to restart flashtool is not even reached). Also if i try to do it manualy.
I watched your video (thanks it was my first steps into understanding how it all worked) but unfortunatly didn't work for me.
Any other ideas?

Did you get this device in this condition ?
If not, what happened so that you lost serial ?
Anyway , i have never tried this because i have ALWAYS succeeded flashing raw (twice) to correct serial BUT it may work for you.( i am not sure you have a device that can have the serial corrected due to whether its been tampered with previous ) which affects recovery and IMEI.
Usually , xFSTK is used to install temp bootloader - Its supposed to be the lowest level form of unbricking procedure and restores temp bootloader so you can fastboot after-- flashing raw in fastboot via AFT(twice) restores serial -- 1st flash approx 3mins is with incorrect serial and temp bootloader.
After a couple of mins, cmds on phone pauses on RESULT=OK on phone.
You close AFT and open AFT again , input raw and set AFT up -- press Vol+ on phone -> once, serial will be corrected and 2nd flash can be started and left until it boots into android 5 by itself.
If GPT trouble , that link may help.
There is other programmes for starting to create serial and restoring .
Usually people who use these , have to dig deep into buildprop stuff which if tampered with can end up with problem such that you have.
Good luck
see if anything here helps

TWRP recovery not working on Blackview BV9500

Hi everybody,
I try to root my Blackview BV9500 by installing first TWRP recovery. I use fastboot mode on a linux laptop to do that.
I successfully flash the twrp recovery image, but after that, the phone don't boot in recovery anymore.
It try to boot into recovery, but it reboot in normal mode a few second after.
I tried also with the cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img".
When i flash back the original recovery image, it work, i can boot the original recovery without any problem.
Does anyone have the problem?
Some one can help me to find a solution?
I, too, am trying to do this. I have not yet flashed it... I was going to use the fastboot boot command to boot the recovery kernel before permanently flashing it, to make sure it would work, and in my googling I stumbled across this post. Serendipity! [Edit 3: Although, reading your post again, I see you tried that as well and it didn't succeed for you. For me, it simply tells me remote: command not found, so how were you able to even get that to work?]
All that said... I have the BV9500 Pro, specifically for the two-way radio, so I'm going to try to keep that little tidbit of hardware working in the process. I mainly just want to tweak the menus a bit, tweak the quick settings, get root, delete the Google crapps I won't be using...
On to your problem, though, I can't help much but maybe if we post back and forth our successes and failures we might be able to stumble through it together?
First, I assume you already have unlocked your bootloader? [Edit: Honestly, I'm not sure flashing the recovery would be allowed without first unlocking the bootloader]
[Edit 2: Perhaps this thread might be of help. Different model, but often the hardwares used by manufacturers are similar enough that the same steps generally work. ]
Thank you for the link, maybe i need to flash the complete rom with the twrp recovery with spflash tools, and it will work.
I will try and let you know, but i will make a backup of my rom before flashing it!
For your problem with fastboot, maybee it's because you need to install it. You can use the command "sudo apt-get install fastboot" on a terminal window if you are on linux.
If you want to enter the recovery mode, you don't need to use fastboot, you can simply enter it by pressing Volume Up and Power buttons together for a couple of seconds when your phone is off.
When Boot Mode appears release all keys.
To flash recovery with fastboot, you need first to enable the developer mode on your phone (go to "Settings > About phone" and make 7th tap on the build number, the Developer options will be unlocked and available), and unlock the bootloader of course.
here what is the process i made to flash the recovery :
- i use the command "adb devices" to check if the phone is well connected. (response is like "BV9500S320001179 device")
- then i enter in fastboot mode with "adb reboot bootloader" (phone reboot and ask confirmation for fastboot mode)
- check with command "fastboot devices"
- unlock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock".
- flash the phone with the twrp recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
- reboot the phone in recovery mode with "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Normally the phone boot in twrp recovery.
Hope that will help you too.
I am too facing this problem. In case you got any solutions please let me know too.

Yup. Already had fastboot installed for the LG G5 this phone replaced, the Galaxy Note 4 the LG replaced, the MyTouch 4G Slide the Galaxy replaced, my wife's old Galaxy S5 I used in the interims... LOL, I've got a working install. No, the "Remote: command not found" was returned from within.... Whether fastboot or adb, I forget now, but I was able to get the file to flash eventually, after reading your first post, but unfortunately the phone would not boot to it (nor Android). I thought I'd bricked it. Twice this happened. Each time, after about 5 minutes, it eventually booted to Android.
I flashed the recovery from the ROM in the link Blackview sent me and was able to boot their recovery just fine, so there's something in the TWRP that my particular phone doesn't like.

Thanks, I keep forgetting which keys to hold for recovery versus bootloader, so I use the adb command to be sure without having to keep a notepad nearby.
Clearly I don't do this as often as I used to.

Now that was something I haven't done since the T-Mobile G1 days. My understanding was that you CAN boot a recovery without flashing it first if you"fastboot boot {image filename}" but that didn't work for me either. I'm also assuming that the filename to flash can be anything because the device stores it to a partition, so it shouldn't have to be specifically "recovery-verified.img".
The recovery you have... Were you ever able to boot to it? If so, would you be willing to share a link to its download source, please?
I've got to run for a prior engagement, I'll check back later.
Thanks!

I guess i find the reason why the modified recovery image won't boot.
I find an interesting information in a post of osm0sis (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775) were he say : "some newer MediaTek (MTK) devices use special image signing that adds a "BFBF" pre-header signature, so images will unpack/repack but most likely won't boot unless run through their internal signing tool."
After more search, i find an interesting publication (http://www.lieberbiber.de/2015/07/04/mediatek-details-partitions-and-preloader/) witch confirm that.
They say in conclusion of the publication :
"Yes, I can confirm that SignTool is able to add digital signature information to firmware images. Signed images have an additional header “BFBF” and some fluff which SP Flash Tool checks on a secure device. Apparently some manufacturers merely used the default MTK key for signing the images, making them no better off than a typical insecure MTK device."
So we have to find another way to install magisk to root it.
Root 9500/pro
Mine rooted already....you guys can check on 4pda russian forum
Note : do not use the 17.1 version of magisk there because after reboot the device will freeze if you resboot after twrp 1st install...instead flash 17.3+ or 18+ right after first install of twrp...
EDIT : dont mind the russian language in TWRP as you can change it to english once there

- do a factory reset and turn off phone without entering the setup guide after reboot, or wipe via recovery and power off
- Flash recovery.img using scatter.txt with SP Flash Tool
- boot into recovery with hold down vol + and power
- switch TWRP to your language and install Magisk-v18.0.zip and disable_encryption.zip

you can just download latest firmware and simply backup NVRAM etc with sp flash tool also flash with sp tool, you will have then working twrp with disabled encryption. there are tons of post regarding using sp flash tool on this forum
im using same phone and did these actions on first day and did not have any problem with twrp or magisk
Hi,
I've bought this phone in Pro version. I rooted my phone using needrom.com/download/bv9500pro-bv9500-root/ and adb after unlocking bootloader. Then I failed with errors. Then I used SPFlashTool in root mode with official 2018092919_s32v63c2k_jk_pro.rar rom (I don't find it anymore on the net but 1) I got it on Blackview official forum and 2) I have the file on my own PC) with format+Download and replace recovery with TWRP from Jemmini from 4pda.ru before flashing. OK.
Then I rooted again: format /data with TWRP, then install disable_encryption.zip, wipe dalvik, reboot on TWRP, then install Magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot normally.
Beware: TWRP is in Russian language at first boot, so to get it in English, first slide the first slide (allowing writing), then select 'Настройки', then the globe on top, then English, then 'Установитъ Язык'.
Hope this helps.
Then, this is my first rooted phone, so I plan to make a custom rom without Gapps (then maybe without Mediatek Ones and agold too) and remake all functionning with apps from Fdroid. Help needed on a manner of removing a system/vendor app properly. Help needed too to add V4A, as I could see max version supported is Nougat. I announce this here as my first post, but my project will be a full post. If someone want help please ask here or MP me
Note: an update of magisk is out (official 18.1), I installed it and my phone tells me a message that facial recognition was not working anymore then it only boots on TWRP... I reflashed it and my phone boots normally again. Wait and see...
Thanks to Jemmini from 4pda.ru again.
Bests Regards

Beware: TWRP is in Russian language at first boot, so to get it in English, first slide the first slide (allowing writing), then select 'Настройки', then the globe on top, then English, then 'Установитъ Язык'.
Hope this helps.
Then, this is my first rooted phone, so I plan to make a custom rom without Gapps (then maybe without Mediatek Ones and agold too) and remake all functionning with apps from Fdroid. Help needed on a manner of removing a system/vendor app properly. Help needed too to add V4A, as I could see max version supported is Nougat. I announce this here as my first post, but my project will be a full post. If someone want help please ask here or MP me
Note: an update of magisk is out (official 18.1), I installed it and my phone tells me a message that facial recognition was not working anymore then it only boots on TWRP... I reflashed it and my phone boots normally again. Wait and see...
Thanks to Jemmini from 4pda.ru again.
Bests Regards

It'd be great to have another rom but I'm facing a problem with battery life. Basically mobile network standby drains 5000mah battery every day i turned off from developer option but still problem is there. I have checked every single post on Google but nobody has solution for this. U guys face this problem too?

New update has been released today. It solves some battery issues, but be very careful.
I installed it, having TWRP and now I'm stuck in TWRP. I've tried to wipe everything but I'm still in TWRP.
I'll try SPFlashTool ... hope it works.
Everything restored & updated.
Using SPFlashTool I flashed all files included in 2018092919_s32v63c2k_jk_pro.rar (including original recovery instead of TWRP).
After that, Android booted and then, using OTA, I updated to latest version.

The latest version is not on the forum. I installed via OTA.
But if you mean the previous firmware, there is one link on the blackview forum: http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=480235#p795494
SP Flash tools are well documented here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587
And a complete list of blackview bv9500 / bv9500 pro files and instructions (in russian): https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=931296
Hope you find what you are looking for.
@kanadali,
for the moment I'm not facing battery drain because there is not simcard in it at this state of my modifications, sorry.
@Reflected_God,
I think this is the link I used, I use the 2018092919_s32v63c2k_jk_pro.rar rom for base.
For all others who faces big problems like me (facial recognition not working then reboot on twrp only, I could reflash my phone with SPFlashTool, the rom and twrp from Jemmini/4PDA in russian only (others don't work for me). I used Format + Download in root mode on Linux. Then format /data with TWRP, then install disable_encryption.zip, wipe dalvik, reboot on TWRP, then install Magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot normally. Do other things. To remove gapps I disabled/force stop it before remove with TWRP. Others apps I can't disable simply remove with TWRP. I test if I encounter bugs but none for the moment. If someone wants to know what I do I've made a LibreOffice Calc sheet log, which evolve when I have time
Hope this helps
Bests Regards
Need Files or a GOOD guide. bv9500 NOT PRO.
If someone could upload the exact files that they used, and the exact same steps, that would be great. Please mention what stock version you have and a link to the image if possible as well. I've followed numerous different guides, with multiple different rom versions, multiple different recovery imgs, used sp flash tool and adb/fastboot multiple times, tried making sure everything was unlocked before each try, have all the necessary drivers, and the closest I get to a functional twrp recovery is a green line that appears at the top of the boot screen before it reboots. Ive tried going to the source, the russian site, but all of the links are 404ed. if not for me, then it would be great to just have this all in one place. Thank you please future hero.
Please include exact program versions (ex SP Flash) as well if not zips of them. I am sorry to be asking so much in one post however I truly didn't know what else to do. And I am typically very good with my google fu xD
I currently have build number BV_BV9500_V1.0_20181026. That seems to matter I believe.
I second the notion.
I have the pro model. I have considered rooting it, but honestly, the phone works well enough as-is without root (for me). However, I'd LOVE to be able to play with different ROMs on this device **AS LONG AS I CAN MAINTAIN THE TWO-WAY UHF TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONALITY** (i.e. not some "needs-a-network-of-some-kind" "walkie talkie app" like Zello but the real UHF two-way), and I'd LOVE the ability to play with the files associated with the radio to really explore the hardware's capabilities.
Unfortunately, this phone seems more popular in [North]eastern Asia than anywhere else so I don't think we're likely to get much on this forum regarding it unless and until BV become a popular name in the western hemisphere.

Having trouble understanding where to start

Right, so I haven't done these types of things for years and it's safe to say I've forgotten most of it. So my question is do I root first or do I just install TWRP ?
I've chosen to go ahead with this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420. But it says Oreo compatible, so I am guessing I can only install an Oreo ROM ? Are there any better(newer) options available ? It is all very confusing, I've tried searching but so many versions of everything, I am not even sure which Odin I need or if it even matters ? I have the GT-I9195. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I am going to try and help you out with this the best I can
You need to use Odin to install TWRP on your device (I'm assuming you have the stock rom currently installed).
The latest Odin should work just fine (a google search should help you find and download it)
You can download the latest version of TWRP from the official TWRP site for your device ([url]http://twrp.me[/URL])
After you download it follow these steps (taken from here because I was too lazy to write it again [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449107[/URL]:
1)Turn off the phone.
2)Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
3)Connect USB cable, and press volume up
4)Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot", and then click AP button.
5)Select extracted "recovery.tar.md5" file and press Start button.
6)A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred. Check the Message Window in Odin for: "All threads completed. (succeeded 1 / failed 0). The transfer has successfully completed.
7)Long press the power button to turn it off.
8)Hold volume up, home button and power buttons simultaneously to boot into recovery mode.
Once you get to the recovery mode you can install any Rom you want to after making full wipes (wiping data, dalvik, cache, system, internal storage (this wipe is only needed for the first time. I have Lineage Os 17.1 (Android 10) installed on my GT-I9192. On the same thread, you can find the rom for GT-I9195 too.
With respect to rooting, after you install the Rom + gapps, you can flash the latest version of Magisk to get root access. (A simple search will get you the latest version of Magisk too).
(In case you have no idea on what flashing, Rom, Gapps are, there are plenty of videos on youtube that can help you out with that.)
Ookay, I actually managed. Got the Lineage 17.1 installed. To be honest the hardest part was actually installing TWRP. The phone would always replace it with stock recovery and I couldn't get it working. Tried ADB but got stuck 'waiting for device', then I found a 'All in one tool' which i used to Root my device so that I could use the TWRP Playstore app so that I could get the latest version of TWRP....Took me a bit longer than expected, even bricked the device once but managed to get it back and it's now running alright. Anyways thanks for your reply, I guess the thread can be closed now..

The trick is to immediately boot into recovery after flashing it. If you reboot the phone itself, the stock recovery overwrites itself back (useful to remember when you plan to install twrp on your next device).
Anyway, glad you managed to get it working

[GUIDE][TWRP-ROOT] [UB] Samsung Galaxy A50 BTC4 Firmware Android 10 (Q)

Hi, i update the guide for Android 10 -BTC4- (only UB)
-Need UNLOCK BOOTLOADER if you try on LOCKED BOOTLOADER you have a nice brick
1. Download stock Firmware (i downloader by samfirm)
2. Disable Autoreboot in odin options
3. Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key
4. Flash on Odin Stock Firm: BL, AP, CSC (i use CSC_HOME but CSC work any), CP. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do.
-This step its obligatory.
5. Press and hold Volume Down key + Power Key, device reboot, then quickly press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears and device restart, quickly press again Vol Up and Power Key, dont release Vol Up Android Recovery Mode Appears, now you are in stock recovery.
6. Do a Factory Reset and then reboot to bootloader again.
7. Flash in odin only AP the TWRP in this thread, press and hold Volume Down key + Power Key, device reboot, then quickly press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until TWRP appears.
8. Format Data type YES (TWRP cannot use encrypted data partition).
9. Flash multidisabler zip.
10. In TWRP select reboot to recovery.
11. Success, now you have rooted and twrp in A505F
I used the system and its very stable, i used riru + edxposed never have a random reboot, in my opinion its more stable than other pie roms.
Link drive folder with multidisabler and TWRP: Download

Good Jobs! I have tested it and it works on A50 SM-A505F BTC4
I faced stuck on Samsung logo at the first time I select reboot to Recovery. To solve it, first time we should reboot to system and setup the phone, then Reboot to Recovery ( If you faced stuck on Samsung logo, to get out and enter TWRP just press and Volume down + power key ). Install Magisk Manager and Open it.. There is no random reboots or boot loops
This is complete video about that:

Your device model number is SM-A505F, DS ( Dual SIM ) is only for identify that your phone is DUAL SIM card.
If your phone installed TWRP, you will not get new update notification. You can update it manually and flash TWRP again

(Snapdragon) [ROM, TWRP, SUPERSU ROOT!] Samsung Galxy S8+ SM-G955U and SM-G955U1

This only works on the v7 and v8 bootloader(for now)
I am proud to present a new rom pre-installed with supersu!
Make sure to follow instructions. You will also be able to downgrade to 7.0 if you have 9.0
This tutorial is easy and will take a max time of 30 minutes to complete.
The samsung s8+ snapdragon has been hard to root to only have temp root, to bricking, but now, I have found and modified some files that you can use to permanently root your s8+ G955U and..You...can...install...TWRP!!!
TWRP will be installed as you go threw the process. Safetrap will be disabled and like all of the other rooting methods, your phone will only charge to 80%. YOUR WARRANTY WILL VOID DUE TO ROOTING AND INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR DEVICE(some idiot will accidentally brick there device. Like bruh, this method is easy. I don't see any way how you could accidentally brick your phone. If your reading this after bricking your phone...read the damn title next time. This method is only for the u.s versions of the s8+ aka Snapdragon.)
Let's get started!
You will first need to download this custom rom. It will disable safetrap and install twrp!
While the files are downloading, take that time to factory reset the phone and clear the cache.
Mod edit: Link removed.
This file package includes a modified version of odin.
There will be two firmware files. DO NOT FLASH BL AS IF YOU HAVE A BOOTLOADER 8 IT WILL NOT WORK. If you have bootloader 7 then it might work.
Next, put the phone into download mode. Hold Power + Volume Down + Bixby Button until the blue screen shows up. Press the volume button to continue after the blue screen shows up.
After that, open up odin and connect your phone with your cable to your computer using a USB 2.0 port. You can try USB 3.0 but might suffer a failure like a Auth error.
Once your phone is connected to your computer., odin should be showing (added!) and also will show a bar saying com. It doesn't matter what the number is.
After that, download the bootloader file for v8. You might be able to tell if your bootloader is 8 or seven(if you try flashing, it might say 8 > 7 or it just might say error. If you have v7 flash the file that came with the first download.
IF YOU FLASH SOMETHING AND IT FAILS, YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE PHONE INTO DOWNLOAD MODE AGAIN TO CLEAR THE ERRORS. IF NOT THE PHONE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DOWNLOAD OTHER THINGS.
V8 BL download
Link removed.
If v8 fails then you might have to flash v7( located in folder from first download) if v7 fails flash v8(second download)
Flash the BL by clicking the BL button and navigating to the file location of the BL file.
In odin, go to the options table and unchecked f reset time and auto reboot. After that click flash! It will be quick when flashing the BL. After that once it says pass! Reboot the phone into download mode again. After that, click the reset button next to start and click on the AP button. Go to the folder where the AP file is located and load it into odin. It will freeze odin for a few seconds as it checks the MD5. Once your phone is in download mode and odin is responding again, click start and wait for the system to flash over! Depending on the speed of your pc it might go slow or fast.
Once it is done, it will said Failed! but that's ok. It has successfully completed installing and now you can reboot the phone normally. After it loads, safetrap should be disabled if a screen pops up saying continue or recovery. If none of that pops up that's fine, we still have some more files to flash.
Give the phone time to boot. The phone is not usable yet as android is still locked down. Wifi will not work but you will have temporary root access to the phone. You will see a app called flash fire. Open it but before you do, download the system file below!
Link removed.
Give it time to download. Extract the file from the 7z(have a file extractor that supports 7z). There should be a img file. Right click on it and press Send to the click on the phone. It will send it to the internal folder not downloads. Once it's on the phone, open flashfire then on the plus button. Then press the flash system(not Ota button) look for the img file and then press flash once you loaded in the .img Give it a few minutes to flash. After it's done flashing it will auto reboot. It might say that you flashed unauthorized files onto the phone and to contact your carrier. If not then skip this step. Go into odin. Select a BL file(remember if you think you have v8 flash the second download you downloaded. If you have the v7 bootloader, flash the BL that came with odin aka the first download. Uncheck f reset time and auto reboot. Flash the BL then wait. Once its done reboot the phone normally(hold Power button + down button) The error should be gone. The phone should reboot itself with a new boot logo animation. If that does happen, congrats you finished step one successfully . Now on to step two!
Shut down the phone and wipe the data and cache(factory reset)
Download the pre-installed supersu rom below:
Link removed.
Extract the files and only keep the AP file.
Go. Ack into odin and click on the AP button. Load in the AP file you just downloaded. Odin will freeze while checking the MD5. Once unfrozen, select the BL file you have. Remember, if you have v8 use the second download. If you have v7 use the first download or the one that came with odin. After that flash the two selected files and wait for the system to install.
Once the system is done it will say failed! Which is still good! Then reboot the phone and wait for it to load again. It will load into safe mode on first startup. Setup phone without Google until you want to login. Keep wifi off until your done setup. Once setup is done reboot phone by pressing power off. Once phone powers off, hold Power button until boot. Congrats if you made it this far! You have successfully rooted the samsung s8+ 955U snapdragon!
Will be making a video soon for people who had trouble installing.
@Flinnyd Please check your PM inbox. Thank you.

So you were able to get your s8+ rooted?Look for any rom that might support your phone or cpu. As you learn, you might be able to edit rom files to work with your phone. The only problem is that phone companies are making it harder to make custom roms and also there's increasing security. I would say go for it!
Yes i fully rooted the SM 955u Snapdragon using the instructions above word by word and step by step ! Thanks a lot !

Now, I tried to use a module through Xposed but it doesn't work. I activated the module, rebooted and Xposed will detect it but it will not work even when it says that the module is active. Any suggestions?
Xpose probably broken pre installed. Try to reinstall xpose if you can

ok, so it means, that the installation will erase everything as well as the FRP?

Does this work with the SM-G599U1? My BL is V8 and I had trouble installing this, and another root. It soft bricked my device and I had to flash stock BL I think? Anyways I'm a bit rusty and haven't done this since the Galaxy S3 was the biggest thing lol, so that may have contributed. Would love to hear some feedback on a link if this isn't the place to be rooting my device. Thanks!

I believe you can flash the 955U1 with this firmware but maybe I'm wrong. If you have bootloader v8 then flash the BL V8 file with odin with the AP file(second AP file download saying SAMFAILED) try that again and tell me if it works. If it doesn't then I'll release another method for the 955U1.
Thanks!

I tried again and I was successful. It was definitely confusing with all of the failed messages. but I got it. You can add that the 955U/1 works if you haven't tested yourself. Thanks again as a lot of the other methods seemed outdated and didn't work, or maybe I did it wrong lol.
Anyways, cheers!
