THIS RECOVERY WILL TRIP YOUR KNOX COUNTER ..AND UR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID
THIS RECOVERY IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY ALPHA [G850F] [EXYNOS]
PLEASE BE CAREFUL ... THIS RECOVERY HASNT BEEN TESTED "FULLY"...ONLY WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE , INSTALL ZIP IS TESTED
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THE FIRMWARE BEFORE PROCEEDING..HAPPY FLASHING!
Why twrp ? Why not a pre-rooted firmware which will not void warranty?
Ans : TWRP has many more functionality than stock recovery ! Rooting means to playing around with your device.If some thing goes wrong it you have to flash the whole firmware again instead,backup your ROM through CWM and if something goes wrong restore your backup AS SIMPLE AS THAT !
All you have to do is follow my instructions :
STEP 1 :
-Download and setup ADB drivers for your device
can be found here Drivers !
STEP 2 :
-Download the recovery from --->
TWRP(more stable)
CWM
-Download odin 3 Link
-Turn of your device and go to odin mode [ Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time) ] release it when you see Galaxy Alpha logo
-Press vol up to confirm
STEP 3 :
-Now that you are in odin mode connect your device via usb cable !
-Now open Odin3 3.09 that you have downloaded.
-If there is a pop-up like Installing ADB drivers let it get finished it is usually updates !!!!
-Make sure the COM : xx (xx is usb port number it can be any number so dont worry about it,just verify COM is lit up)
-Select the recovery (Link in STEP 2) ! Now select AP and browse to where you have .tar file and select it
MAKE SURE U UNTICK THE AUTO-REBOOT BUTTON
-Click Start
ONCE IT SAYS PASS ...REMOVE THE BATTERY ...THEN RE-INSERT THE BATTERY AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY USING VOL UP + HOME + POWER BUTTON
HOW TO ROOT THE DEVICE :
-Download SuperSu (obviously the latest one) from here ------> Click here !
-Copy that to internal sd card
-Power off your device and press vol up + power + home button (all at once)
-Select install zip from sdcard --->choose zip from sdcard ---> scroll down and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.xx.zip
Done ! And you are ready to go

YOU TELL ME [/SIZE]

i just flashed build 2 and did my first ever nandroid backup on my SM-G850F :good:
thanks for your work.
since our device don't have sd card slot, i think it would be amazing if we could use the usb OTG and use external USB drives for backup/restore and flashing files. i hope build 3 will be up soon :fingers-crossed:
to use OTG will be nice & usefull,I agree

This will not root your device! You should give link to CF-Autoroot (find your device here: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin) and not to SuperSU!

This true? So root through zip flash not possible, need to do it with the odin contained within the chainfire zip?

I have not seen a kernel with root for instance that you can flash in recovery.

TWRP 2.8.3.0, Tool/Utility for the Micromax A116

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 2.8.3.0u1
Stable Release Date: 2014-12-26
Created 2014-12-22
Last Updated 2014-12-29
Reserved
Changelog :
2.8.3.0u1 :
- Added F2FS tools. Can be used to format filesystems to F2FS.
- Removed SuperSU (to fit into partition)
2.8.3.0 :
- MTP will now tell the host PC that storage is removed instead of disabling MTP completely
- MTP will now report the correct max file size based on the file system in use to the host PC (may fix transfer of large files)
- Update and improve fix permissions and make fixing contexts optional
- Update SuperSU in TWRP to 2.40 and update install process
- Make TWRP work properly on AArch64 (Nexus 9 is now built in true 64-bit binaries and libraries)
- Attempt to set correct permissions and contexts on all files placed in storage so backups will show in Android
- Fix kernel panic during MTP start on some devices
- Support unicode fonts on devices with True Type Font support
- Fix slider value not showing sometimes (vibration settings page)
- Toggle MTP off during adb sideload to set correct USB IDs
- Reduce library requirements for 5.0 L decrypt
2.8.2.0 :
-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP
-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use
-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices
-Other minor fixes and updates
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
Also note that you will need the latest adb binaries on your computer to sideload with this new version of TWRP.
2.8.1.0 :
- MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
- TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
- Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
- Various other bugfixes and tweaks
2.8.0.1 :
- Fix a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues
2.8.0.0 :
- Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
- Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
- Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
- Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
- Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
- Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
- Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
- Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
- Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
- Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
- Other minor fixes and improvements
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
2.7.1.0 :
- Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
- Various bugfixes to backup and restore
- Improvements to USB storage handling
- Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
- Various other bugfixes and tweaks

The font used is the new default in TWRP, from v2.8.1.0.
Refer to this commit.
All you need to do is to unpack the ramdisk, add RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf to /res/fonts/ and change the following in /res/ui.xml according to the required resolution.
Repack and you have the font.

Thanks for TWRP_2.8.3.0
I have one issue some time stuck when flash zip on TWRP_2.8.3.0u1-NK
When flash same zip in preview recovery (TWRP 2.8.0.0 hyperion70) it work fine
any news on an update to fix the boot to recovery option ??
UPDATE: Star Kernel v2 (Fixed)
Features in brief:
Swap Memory Support:
-> Most awaited and desired feature for GT-S7262.
-> Increase your handset RAM size (virtually) using third party app or init.d script.
-> Use any Ram Expanding application or init.d script for Swap Memory. Make sure you have enough free space in external sd-card to be used as Virtual Ram.
-> Make sure you select external sd-card as swap partition before applying changes in your favourite ram expanding app/script.
Init.d support:
-> It allows users to install scripts and mods to be run at boot. Everything from battery tweaks to performance tweaks. It essentially opens the door to a world of mods, only possible through the Init.d process.
-> Make sure you have busybox in your xbin folder with run-parts enabled before trying out this feature.
-> Add any scripts you like to run at boot at /etc/init.d/ folder.
Scale CPU Frequencies:
-> Use your favourite CPU scaling applications to scale GT-S7262 CPU frequencies.
-> Make sure what you are doing before trying and crying out for heated batteries, misbehaving apps/system and dead handset. I am not responsible for anything you do. I just provided a way to achieve scaling frequencies.
Recovery key combination:
-> No need to hold 3 buttons at the same time to boot into CWM recovery, just press and hold power button until Samsung logo appears.
-> You will see red exclamation mark on top left corner by default.
-> Release the power button and just hold volume up button until CWM pops up.
-> Don't press anything if you don't want to boot into CWM after samsung logo appears. Phone will boot into normal mode.
USB Force Fast Charge App Support:
-> USB Fast Charge allows you to charge battery faster when connected to a PC/Laptop via USB using Fast Charge App. Very useful in certain situations.
-> Increases input current limit to 1000mA when charging via USB.
-> Required App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.org.winters.android.gnfastcharge&hl=en
USB Keyboard Support:
-> Turn your Android device into USB keyboard/mouse for your PC/Laptop. Very useful in certain situations.
-> Steps:
* Start ADB Debugging
* Start app
* Connect device to system via USB cable
-> Required app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.hid.keyboard.client
DriveDroid Support:
-> DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives.
-> Required App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid
exFAT support:
-> Linux non-fuse read/write kernel driver for the exFAT file system.

****Device Unstable****
Hello Anil,
First, a big thank you for the work done., I really appreciate your efforts in compiling this Kernel.
I just want to share results that I got after flashing the Kernel :
***Checklist Before Flashing***
*Stock ROM and Stock Kernel, updated to the latest samsung release.
*Baseband as required.
*Rooted device.
After I flashed the kernel, the device is unstable. Here is what Im facing :
*RAM Expander first started to act crazy.
*Application wont install, error I get is "Application Not Installed".
*Device getting Auto-Reboot.
*Network Errors.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Please suggest on how I can proceed to uninstall this. Do I need to flash the stock ROM?
Or would there be any update to fix the problems im facing?
Thank you in advance,
Owais Ahmed Siddiqui

hi, this instruction is not working for my phone. the yellow screen is still present and i've lost my imei. i've tried a lot of times to restore but it is the same thing. i don't want to flash again a stock rom
grateful that this kernel is working great after i flashed back the stock rom
thank you very much for your hardwork for making it possible for a lower end phone to be maximized regarding its capabilities. I guess it does not work with Betacore v.1.5.
God bless you

Looks like I did a mistake in efs-restore-signed.zip file that did not flash the efs.rfs file to efs partition. Hence it couldn't solve the problem.
I fixed the efs restore zip file and uploaded it again. Please copy the backed-up efs.rfs file to external memory card and use the fixed efs-restore-fixed-signed.zip file. Hope this will solve the problem.

And like no other development section. Please make backups before taking this journey with me and im not liable for your messed up bricked device's so CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
A ton of this info is coming from freaktab.com and some other russian/german sites that ive found. Including the chinagadgets.com updates page for the m8 boxes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:::::::::::The links::::::::::::
Root:
Rooting these boxes seems to be incredibly simple. They are either prerooted or can be done easily.
Kingoroot app , and kingo superuser app got me enough access to Install img twrp via Rashr app all avalible via the playstore. As well as you can use the updater app to install roms in zip format using the stock recovery without twrp but backups are important! Theres a few recoveries out there for our boxes. Some work for the clones, some dont.
You need to verify if you have the s812 chipset or not.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
:HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY MODE:
To enter the recovery stock or not, there are multiple methods.
Using a toothpick and pushing the reset button inside the AV port ( Harder/nonrooted )
1.) At the bottom of the AV jack hole is the reset button.
Using a tooth pick hold this button in. You know you have pressed it if you feel the click.
2.) Now plug in the power cord.
3.) While holding the reset button down, wait until you see the logo and you can then release the reset button.
done: The recovery menu should now be shown and the device should update.
ALT For rooted devices:
1.) Install romtoolbox lite and Give romtoolbox superuser permissions
2.) Use the rebooter function inside the app to enter recovery mode. (easier)
To install the custom recovery I used [Root] Rashr - Flashingtool app to install the custom TWRP recovery, this also can be used to install the image files. The images are only the recovery, or boot images for the device. Im assuming here that these images should match the firmware version you are on. IE: 4.4 needs the 4.4 boot/recovery not the 5.1 . The Zips contain the correct boot images for the roms and will flash everything in one shot. The images are a seperate source for modding as well as using the usb flash tool or the apps i suggested. The files came prezipped together to be used with the pre installed updater program on most boxes, Its alot lighter to only update what you need.

Identifying the model is good, but identification of your chipset is the important part. These boxes are heavily clones and sold as whatever the distributor said it was. And a lot of times it wasnt what you thought it was.
Rkxxxxx S8xxxxx Txxxxxx Etc is how you will be locating the correct firmwares for your devices. Im hoping that in the future we can go cross platform/chipset by including the correct boot.img and xml/build.prop files for the right chips and the software will be universal (ish)
See post #2 for Universal rom Flash.
Highly suggest only using TWRP and backing up to your external SD.
the build.prop and the boot.img are both twrp flashable files.
these also can be used to put your stock boot.img or build.prop after flashing a universal softwear rom to gain all
your device specifics back. the custom one is based on m8s/+ models and was off a 16gb device so both 8/16 can flash.
you can alos use the app zipme to make your own flashable zips. great for backing up certain files.
remote.config is another one thats important to backup from your original build the device shipped with!
how to adjust twrp screeen size
screen size is to big on my tv i cant navigate some keys on my usb keyboard,, imean i cant navigate twrp properly using my navigation keys on my wireless key board...pls help thanks
Hey man first of all big thanks for the THREAD, is very hard to find some information about all of this you have no idea how this thread can help us with these android TV devices (F**** smart TV's)
So i have a S82 Plus, with the android 5.1.1, kernel 3.10.33, fimrware 101L1 and running silk and smooth the only problem for me is the remote controler that i bought... doesn't work well some keys and functions just dont work!! and i don't know why..
And i was thinking maybe i just the ROM because if i put to work with my computer works fine, if i put it with my S4 works well too...
So i was thinking is there any 6.0 rom for this device?? Would you recommend another one to try??
My Remote is the measy rc12-b5

Big thanks for the ROMS!

Like my username indicates, I finally got my troublesome M8S box working flawlessly with Android Lollipop, in which your Universal ROM was the key. I documented my steps in another related thread.

guys i have uploaded a new kernel based off latest stock rom....use that as a wifi lag is seen while using max's kernel on Roms like Doomsday....
Is the modded kernel has some features, or just modded to enable to mount the internal storage?

Will the Offline Charging (No animation show but it still charge) bug be fixed soon?
By the way, what does "No Radio installed" bug mean?

No radio mean no apps installed to make it function.
i m still searching for the fix.
Here's my experience since I installed this ROM...
From stock, I flashed the pre-rooted firmware first. The flashing thingy went through successfully, however, when my device booted up, everything seemed to be a disaster. It lags occasionally, sometimes unusable. Freeze here. Freeze there. Remove battery. My data (apps, files, etc.) were kept. I thought everything would be gone after the flash. Not a dev here lol. I made a backup though before doing the whole process. Maybe backing up the data and performing a factory reset (from stock ROM first) before flashing the pre-rooted firmware would help. It took me more than 2 hours before I was able to successfully install TWRP — then flash the custom ROM and the gapps. Again, the flash went through successfully. On boot, minor disaster again. After selecting the language and the SIM card to be used for the mobile data, the setup thingy did crash. Back to language again, SIM card selection, crash. "Unfortunately (blah2) stopped." I tried to reboot normally, even turned the device off and removed the battery, but still, the bug persists. Tried to look for other reboot options. I think it was "Download" that I selected and TADAAAH. It booted. Everything seemed to be fine! I installed ES File Explorer and I was amazed how light this custom ROM was.
At the stock ROM, I was able to connect some USB devices such as a keyboard, mouse, flash drive, and printer via OTG adaptor. Also, I was able to cast some media to my Miradisplay dongle (DNLA mode) through the BubbleUPnP for DLNA/Chromecast app. Miracast (screen mirroring) won't work on stock, no option to enable at the settings as well. Screen mirroring on the stock via Screen Stream is possible, but the latency is terrible and the app will exit upon opening other apps. I hoped that screencasting via Miracast will work on the custom ROM by this time, but still, it didn't. The dongle can be recognized as a wireless display at the custom ROM settings though, but upon connecting, it will not go through. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the connecting process. If it will be fixed, I assume that the screen mirroring feature will now be available as well.
Back to the OTG compatibility issue, I was able to find out the problem and fix it (thank u google). The android.hardware.usb.host.xml file is missing from the /system/etc/permissions folder. I searched for the file on Google, downloaded it, and pasted the file into the said folder through the ES File Explorer (root explorer > mounted /system as RW). Reboot my device. Success. OTG restored. So far, I was able to connect my flash drive and print from my printer via OTG adaptor. The printer app I used, by the way, is Mobile Print - PrinterShare.
I HOPE THE CAST SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED Tried the #MirrorEnabler already but no luck. Sorry for the long post, first timer. Sorry if I did violate something or what.
bug detected
thank you, multisim is enable, i would like disable multisim , in terminal root: setprop persist.radio.multisim.config none , I have a bug process.com.internal.phone as interrupted
do you have a solution?
Flashed the ROM and run very good. There are some patches to fix wallpaper and audio bugs in official topic in 4pda.ru, you can flash it to have a better kernel.

but right now my phone has a problem.....
-after i flash odin it say pass and my phone turn into blackscreen and not reboot.
-cant even turn on or charging...and i think it hard brick
so i do some research and i try :
-remove battery
-press power+vol up and down + home at same time
-keep hold the key and connect the phone to pc
-my pc detect as *unknown device* with no driver installed error but actually i have install all samsung usb driver.
i do more research i found out that not only me but galaxy j1 also have same problem and other samsung devices too.
The only way to fix this problem is using usb jig to force the phone to boot into download mode and flash using odin to make it boot back.
If anyone know other way let me know pls.

I saw this problem in my phone. Reset your computer, reinstall driver from https://www.google.com/url?q=[url]h...ggTMAA&usg=AFQjCNHJpORiWETp9lM3eMDn4a-U3iYI1Q[/url]
Then use Odin 3.0.9 ( the most stable version and flash the official firmware.
Hope you will success.
Edit: a 4pda.RU member says ( translated from Russian)
In the early Samsung bootloader it was possible to patch with a COM cable that is soldered to the connector. Now, I do not know, but maybe there are pyataks on the board under TX, RX, GND. And it was possible with FlashTool. If there is a ready-made jig recovery scheme, why not use it?

Missing lib and other files. Many roms for G318 series was designed for G318H, ML which just have back camera. Try this cm11 ROM if you want to use front camera:
