Hi Evryone.
Because I didn't found CWM or TWRP Recovery or any root method for the galaxy J5 J5108 and the J7 J7108, I made a pre-rooted firmwares for those models.
This firmware base on the hong kong firmware which include the Google apps, this a full firmware exactly like the original, except the root.
After flash you will see the SuperSU app in the app drawer.
Also, this firmware contains the bootloader from the china firmware which doesn't have frp lock.
The root include the binary files in the system, and a pathed boot. (from Android 6.0 or samsung 5.1.1 pathing the boot is necessary for the root work properly)
Flashing this firmware will not wipe data automaticly. you should not lose anything.
This file will work on any firmware/baseband/csc. you can always flash it like a stock firmware.
J5 - base on - J5108ZHU1APD2.
Android version: 5.1.1
J7 - base on - J7108ZHU1APD1.
Android version: 5.1.1

Installation instructions
Before flashing check the CROM Service status in Download mode, if it locked you will need to unlock the bootloader first with the app attached.
Install samsung usb drivers from here.
Download the self extracting 7z file above and extract it (just double tap) to some folder, you should receive a tar.md5 file.
Open odin 3 (attached in the zip)
Put the tar.md5 file in AP.
Put the device in download mode. (vol down + home + power button, and then click on vol up)
Connect your phone to usb and wait for odin detect the device.
Click start.
After it finish choose reboot system now in recovery.
Enjoy.

Thanks a lot avicohh. This was simple and painless. I now have google services on my mainland China phone. And root too! And like you said - I did not loose anything.
well now i am stuck. I enabled my google account, installed and updated my apps through google play, shutdown and now I can't boot. The message in red on the top of the boot screen is:
"KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock."
I also cannot reflash the same HK rooted firmware using Odin
apparently I should have enabled developer options then enabled OEM unlocking before rebooting. But I didn't know that so for now I am bricked
Also apparently, the fix for it is to reflash the original firmware using Odin. I am now downloading the firmware from http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1F170CA05E5611E6B055FA163EE8F90B but it is still another 2-3 hours to complete the download (yes, poor internet connection here.)... So I'll see how that goes...
OK, that didn't work. Now the message on the download mode screen says:
SW REV. Invalid type.
FRP is enabled, not allow download non FRP bootloader binary
Well..
I just recently had the same problem in another device.
I don't think the "Oem unlock" has nothing to do with this. the problem is that when you're adding Google account the frp (factroy reset protection) is automaticly enabled, and then it blocks the pathed boot.
The reason reflash the original firmware didn't work for you is because you tried to flash the china version, that doesn't have google service and also doesn't have frp in the bootloader. (apparently once frp is enabled this kind of operation is not allowed because you are actually trying to remove the frp lock by flashing bootloader..)
I think the solution will be to flash the original hong kong firmware with the frp bootloader and original boot. (or just the original boot)
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=5C13445B54D811E6B055FA163EE8F90B
Then, try to enable the "Oem unlock" option and finally flash the rooted firmware again.
maybe it will work, I'm not sure about it but I would like to know.
If this won't work, I'll try to combine the rooted hong kong firmware with the non-frp bootloader from the china firmware.
Thanks so much for replying avicohh

This makes sense. I was actually suspecting this and was considering trying the 6.01 HK version since that is the only one I could find: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=5C13445B54D811E6B055FA163EE8F90B
Now that you've posted a link to your original 5.1 HK firmware I'll try what you suggest. I'll wait to get home before I start the download.
But I still wonder if the 6.01 would work on my phone?
It's a mistake.
This link above is 5.1.1, not 6.0.1.
There is no 6.0.1 fro this model for now.
yes, I see, the website says its 6.01, but its actually 5.1.1. How do I know? BECAUSE IT WORKED!!! It took 7 hours to download but when I got up this morning it was done, I flashed and it worked!!!
I'm going to read up some more on this FRP business before flashing the rooted version again. My old phone (very old) had no such thing. I'd never heard of it till this unpleasant way of learning about it.

Hi guys.
Thanks for your replies.
I've just checked it now on another device.
As it turn out after a several tests, this "custom binary blocked by frp lock" problem occurs only if the oem unlock option is disabled.
Here is what I did, step by step:
First, I enabled the oem unlock option and then I added Google account - nothing happened. frp lock in Download mode is still off and everything working fine.
I removed the google account, turned off the oem unlock option and finally added the google account again - frp lock in download mode immediately switch to on, and when I tried to restart, the device has stuck on the boot. (custom binary..)
I flashed stock firmware (from the link above), the device now bootup normally but the frp lock in download mode is still on. (I didn't remove the google account yet)
Final check - I enabled the oem unlock again, and the frp lock in download mode switch to off.
So..
I can safely say that all you need to do is just enable oem unlock in developer options, and then flash the rooted firmware.
Anyway, to be even more sure, I made a new firmware with the china bootloader, frp now is not even exist in download mode.
You can download the new firmware from here

Hey, How do I enable OEM unlock when I can't even boot my device. it simply refuses to boot.
Hi
First flash the original HK firmware from here. the device should boot up normally.
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=5C13445B54D811E6B055FA163EE8F90B
Then, enable oem unlock.
Thanks for making the root version of mainland firmware. I'm going to stick with the HK version as I want to have google services. and thanks for testing the oem unlock
I informed myself some more about FRP and OEM unlock and I am now feel safe to use the rooted HK firmware. Except, I came across one note for which I want further clarification before proceeding. The note is from http://www.androidcentral.com/factory-reset-protection-what-you-need-know and it says:
"A couple notes need added here. This doesn't undo Samsung's (or anyone else's) version of Reactivation Lock. If you've enabled data reset protection through your Samsung account, you'll need to turn that off in your Security settings. You can find the switch under the "Find My Mobile" section."
So, I want to be sure I don't have this samsung Reactivation Lock enabled. and that I am in no danger of it auto-enabling. I believe I am safe but I would like to know if anyone has more clear information.
What I do know is before I flashed to HK ROM, when I went into download mode, there displayed a setting:
"REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF"
now, using the HK ROM, it is gone, but in that exact same location is the setting:
"FRP LOCK: OFF"
I think, that means the mainland version of the FRP lock (Samsung Reactivation Lock), is now replaced with the google FRP lock and as I don't have to worry about the samsung reactivation lock anymore. Is that so?
even so, as the article says, I look in "Settings" >> "Lock screen and security" >> "Find my mobile" >> log into Samsung Account when prompted, then it does not display the "Reactivation Lock" option that is shown in at least one guide that I found. I really think this is further proof I don't have to worry about Samsung Reactivation Lock. Can anyone confirm?
Yes I can confirm.
But pay attention that because of the FRP, is not possible to make a pre-rooted firmware for Android 6.0 and above or 5.1.1 Samsung devices, from firmware contains FRP protection like the HK one.
From those android versions (and above), a pre-rooted firmware (or any root method) must include a patched kernel.
Due to the FRP protection, once it turn on, it detect the custom kernel (boot) and not allow the device to boot. (custom binary blocked by FRP lock)
That's the reason I had to replace the HK bootloader which contain FRP protection, with the China bootloader which contain the Samsung reactivation lock. (instead of FRP, because china firmwares doesn't include any google services)
I don't know what the policy of the Samsung reactivation lock, about custom kernels.
And also I don't know if the Samsung reactivation lock turns on automaticly if you are adding Samsung account. (Like the FRP lock)
And one more thing, I beleive most people don't use Samsung account at all.
So after all this,
If it come to decision what to use, the FRP lock or the Samsung one (depends only in the bootloader), I'm pretty sure that in this case (custom boot), the best is to use the Samsung lock, and just dont add Samsung account, or add Samsung account if needed but turn off the Reactivation lock in the Find my mobile settings.
I hope it help you a bit.
Good luck.
btw, If you can check the Samsung lock after root and report here, it would be great.

Oh, at first I thought you meant you rooted the mainland firmware. Now, based on your later post, I believe what you did was to put the mainland bootloader in the rooted HK firmware. Is this the case? If so, that means I can still have google services, and root, and no possibility of FRP issues because its a mainland bootloader. OK, I will try tonight. The Samsung reactivation lock is off by default. Even adding a Samsung account does not turn it on, you have to go into "find my phone" to turn it on. So it should be safe. I will confirm tonight after I download your new firmware.
Yes, this is exactly what i did.
Thanks for testing the samsung account. so it is pretty safe.
yes, this new version with mainland bootloader is good. It seems almost impossible to lock.
Now when I go to download mode, there is no more "FRP LOCK: OFF". in its place is "REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF".
Just for fun I tested by going inter developer options and turned off OEM unlock - then I tried to reboot = success. Enter download mode = still "REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF". Of course I turned it back on again after the test.
and in settings, find my mobile, there is still not a setting for "REACTIVATION LOCK". I have seen an example on the web that this reactivation lock setting should be at the bottom of the options under find my mobile. So, actually now I cannot find any way to turn on the reactivation lock - this is good, its what we want.
Of course to even enter the "find my mobile" section I can do nothing at all (in fact it does not even show me what the options are) untill I give my samsung account credentials. Once I give credentials I can see the options but there is no option to turn on reactivation lock. There is just one thing, maybe, is that in "find my mobile", there a place that says: for more information go to findmymobile.samsung.com. When I go there I have 2 options:
-1) FIND - Find, Lock, Wipe my device
-2) PREPARE - Ready device for Find my Mobile
this "prepare" option I am afraid to try, I am afraid it may be the one to enable reactivation lock. Clearly it is not required to actually find my mobile because I just click the "Find" button and it it finds it for me. So, what would be the use of "prepare"?
At any rate, we know that just creating a samsung account does not activate the lock. I never had a Samsung account before. When I set up this new phone I never did enter developer mode to turn on oem unlock but i did create the samsung account. It was after that I flashed version 1 of avicohh's rooted firmware and when I went into download mode, it said REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF, so creating the Samsung account does not turn it on.

Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.

Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

After that, I re-entered entered the Google account, but the phone then began to hang periodically. I went into developer mode, done a factory reset there. And decided to turn back. Went to fastboot, blocked Downloader. Phone rebooted, then on the screen appeared the inscription: "Relock PHONE" and "FPR Lock". Out of fastboot, there was a black window where it says to restore the system through recovery in the air, but when I try to do fails. Help me, please!

Hey,
I just wanted to inform you guys that switching on the OEM Unlock will force a factory reset after the next reboot (Security Integrity Check). So do it rather sooner then later, before you have to setup all again.
Update:
I took the time and tested it on ARC5, you can see the results on the attached image.
PS: Deactivating the OEM Unlock results in the same situation -> Factory Reset.
Tested and confirmed :good:

Boot into Download mode - see if it says "Pre-Normal" - if so, you will have to wait 7 days before you can use OEM unlock - if it does say Pre-Normal, you are locked from flashing anything until it does show OEM unlock. This will happen in 7 days - if we have twrp by then and you plan to flash twrp - you will need to get the RMM State Fix and flash that immediately after flashing TWRP. You can find the RMM FIX here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22
The "Pre-Normal" thing is a known thing for S8/S8Plus and Note 8 Phones and at least for now, will be something many of us will have to deal with from now on.

Then you already know what to do - for what it's worth, I went thru this on my S8 Plus - contrary to what some have said, you can turn the phone off - doesn't effect your time in jail at all - you just need to keep data enabled while the phone is on -- and not take out the sim card.
good luck to you my friend.

I've got a G965F that I've just updated to 9.0 (CSA1).
After setting up my phone I went into developer options, switched on OEM unlock and reset my phone.
Even after doing this, I still have a prenormal RMM state, however my FRP and OEM lock are both "off".
Has anyone experienced this, or know a workaround?
Or do I have to still wait 7 days?

No workaround, wait 7 days. If you're lucky, it will clear. Depending on where you bought the phone, this might never clear though.

In my understanding, it's not necessary to downgrade to Oreo for it to clear after 7 days. If it won't clear on Pie, then it won't clear on Oreo either. If in Oreo, it was clearing for OP and OEM unlock was appearing after 7 days, then the RMM prenormal will also clear in Pie.

When I was on Oreo, the OEM unlock option wasn't even there no matter how much uptime I had etc.
But straight away on Pie the option was there.

That's correct, but even though the option is there immediately on Pie, RMM state is still prenormal in download mode, and therefore still unable to flash non official binaries in Odin. In Pie there is also a "KG state : checking" line in download mode. I think KG stands for Knox Guard (guessing only). Anyone's guess what that is for... complete opacity on the Samsung side...
Where did you buy your phone? Please post your csc codes in settings -> about phone -> software information -> service provider SW version

Bought my phone in NZ, but I've since flashed the Australian pie update (TEL).
Not sure how much info you want from SW version, so here's all of it:

I can only guess that NZ phones are locked also then... if you can, check the phones of some of your friends in download mode and see whether they have the RMM prenormal and/or KG checking lines.

You bought your phone in Germany and use it with a UK SIM I think?
As far as I know, European phones don't have that problem. Your prenormal mode should clear in 7 days. Check it in download mode, if it says RMM state prenormal, then it's locked. If it doesn't say RMM prenormal, you're good to flash whatever you want.

Well I checked my friend's S9+ (of same model etc.); the RMM status wasn't there and his device status was Custom.
He says he hasn't rooted etc., and I believe him as he wouldn't even know what to do.
Either way it doesn't change anything haha, I'll just wait the remaining 5 days and hope for the best :good:
Just waited my 168 hours and my RMM state is still prenormal.
Bit unfortunate.
Edit: I restarted a couple times and my RMM state had disappeared from download mode and I was able to flash TWRP!

I had no issues with RMM or OEM Unlock on the 9650 8.0, since moving to Pie, RMM won't clear and OEM Unlock option disappeared.
Downgrade to the newest 8.0 firmware you can, switch OFF OEM Unlock, Update to Pie, then switch OEM Unlock back on and wait the 7 day waiting period for RMM - This in theory should solve the issue as long as your model is able to be unlocked and root compatible.
Hope this clears up your understanding!
I have a strange issue I have unlocked my bootloader g965f exynos variant but my kg state says checking what does this mean ?? But I still have oem unlock option available
RMM STATUS is always Prenormal. KG STATUS is Checking. Why?
Has anyone had any success clearing the RMM prenormal flag? I've waited 7 days but it didn't work. OEM unlock is enabled in developer options and KG state is checking.
Anyone please help me.. i'm using lg g5 h830 (usb debugging: off, non rooted device)
A few weeks ago I changed the screenlock pattern on my LG G5 but forgot the pattern I used, every time I try to open it it always goes wrong, now I have tried again in 64000 seconds (1 day interval to unlock OMG) please help me... is there a way so that my device can be unlocked again or bypass without the option of re-flashing or factory reset because all data and everything is very important to me. Or maybe there's a way to reset the trial interval so i don't have to wait 24 hours
With NOT having USB-debugging enabled you'll have no chance to remove the FRP lock, IMO.
Also a Factory Reset doesn't clear the FRP lock, AFAIK.

So what should i do to active usb debugging with locked screen device? Any suggestion? Please help me
That is non sense brother... your data will be lost..
I also have LG G5 H83030c Android 8.0 which has same FRP problem... there is only one solution, and i found it from another XDA forum.
Please downgrade your firmware to v20a (Nougat) using LGUP and UPPERCUT automatically will erase all of your data, and you can erase FRP using standard method (must activate USB debugging first).
