[GUIDE] A320FL Unlock Solution >> FRP >> Update >> Oreo >> Root + Debloat + Files
Hey Friends,
since i had some trouble with this Device, and even missed the Correct Files, i want to explain a Solution which worked for me.
First Update to the newest FW, download @Samobile or @samfrew
i had taken the DBT from Germany. [A320FLXXS3CRK1]
since you have updated to the Last FW the Device has Binary v.3. that means otherwise,
that you can use this Combination ROM with every other FW which is on Binary v.3
Enter Bootloader Mode and flash the FW with Odin 3.13.1 >> use - BL - AP - CP - HOME_CSC
When finished Booting up the Device, Power-Off, or Press Vol - Home and Power, till Bootloader Mode,
now just press once Vol +)
In Bootloader Mode, Flash now the Combination FW,
Flash the File in - AP -.
Reboot.
the Device Boots up, that usually takes some Time longer, dont worry, just listen to sum muzik..
.. now you are in Factory Mode, you have nothing to do here more, but feel free to look around.
when youre finished watching digits and technician stuff, power off the device and enter Bootloader Mode.
Back in Odin, switch back to the FW you have Downloaded before, flash again but only that files:
BL - AP - Home_CSC NOT CP !
Reboot Device, now you can see its usable again and no nagging setup procedere.
To finish the whole Process you have to power off the Device again and go in Bootloader Mode.
start Odin once again, now you flash all Files >> BL - AP - CP - Home-CSC
Thats it, setup your Device and enjoy.
#####
to Root it, do the following:
Open Odin 3.13.1, start Device in Bootloader Mode, in Odin under Options deactivate Reboot option.
Now Flash TWRP 3.2.3 Recovery in - AP -
Since Device wont reboot by itself, you have to push: Vol - Home Power Buttons till Display go off,
then fast switch your finger from Vol - to Vol + (keep other Buttons pressed)
now you enter TWRP Recovery.
here you swipe to allow changes in filesystem.
now check the Wipe Options and choose on the right side >> Data >> you have to write "yes" and the process starts.
when finished, connect the Device to your Laptop or Desktop,
now look @ your Device, you have to grand access the computer to use Filesystem of the Device.
Now copy the following files to Device:
1. decrypt fs script: no-verity-no-encrypt
2. to clean up a bit: debloat script
3. and of course: superuser
Install all Zip Files with Installer in Recovery. Do it in the Order like its written up there.
You can do the following (seem to TWRP has a Problem to save Settings, to solve, you can change to File Manager in TWRP
and give the Folder TWRP >> chmod 755, the move it from /sdcard to /
REBOOT.
If you like, now activate:
Developer Mode (click in Settings Device Info several times on Build Number to activate DevMode)
OEM Unlock
ADB Debugging
Now you can maybe Install:
BusyBox
FDroid
LuckyPatcher
AdAway ...
xposed Framework:
Installer: download
Framework v.90 beta 3: download
Install Framework zip in Recovery.
I hope i could help someone and appreciated to be part of this forum.
pS: its a pity that there so a little ammount of custom rom for this device out there.
I wish you all a very good start to the New Year!
..and always remember, there's nothing out there what we cannot solve!

Cannot download files.
Thanks, forens1c!
I was ready to give your solution a try but unfortunately could not download any of the files from MEGA. It asks for a decryption key of which I am unaware.
Could you please help me.
Thank you.

Thank you
Yes, it works!
Thanks.

Another stupid question
Is it relevant that an external SD card is present in the phone during the flashing/rooting procedure?
Should I take it out or leave it?
Thank you.

---

Great stuff
It works very well. Thanks a lot!

Hello friends,
i have a problem with a Rev 3 firmware. I was not able to flash a combination rom. But this helped me. But anyway im stucked after this. I flash exactly how it is decriped here: BL - AP - Home_CSC NOT CP ! But as soon the device reboots there is written that it was a unallowed try to reset the phone. And i must go through the normal setup procedere.
I have no clue what is wrong or different. I tried at least 5 times with allways the same rresult. If someone has an idea...

Hi, why are there two firmwares ("stock" and "combination") that need to be flashed? Can I use just the stock firmware?

Combination file needs to be flashed first because it removes the frp lock.
After that, you flash the stock firmware because the combination firmware is only a repair/test type of rom, with limited functionality.

where can i get combination file for A320FLXXU3CRL1? i have passed the first step successfully. now i need the combination file to flash it in AP.
help pls

Hello forens1c,
thanks for your post, good and comprehensive! Just one thing that you might add for others, which have a sim lock on their devices as me.
It would be good to have a warning "Do not upgrade to the latest firmware unless needed!!", because you cannot downgrade the bootloader anymore.
If you are on U3 odr S3, 2 or 1 cannot be flashed.
Now I know, but it is already to late for me. But maybe for someone else!
All the best from Vienna,
Michael. (abokabadi at gmail com)

a3 2017 frp unlock
Thanks forensic,
at the end your guide wins!!!!
Thanks to Forensic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...20fl-2017-unlock-solution-frp-update-t3884971
I made here only just a few notes more…...
Enter Bootloader Mode and flash the FW with Odin >> use - BL - AP - CP – HOME_CSC
1)if flash with home_csc failed and you must flash only with Home
maybe you have next ROM release, like me, but not ok for frp unlock(use only HOME_CSC)!!
When finished Booting up the Device, Power-Off, or Press Vol - Home and Power, till Bootloader Mode, now just press once Vol +)
In Bootloader Mode, Flash now the Combination FW,
Flash the File in - AP -.
Reboot.
the Device Boots up, that usually takes some Time longer, dont worry.
.. now you are in Factory Mode(Combination rom), you have nothing to do here.
Back in Odin, switch back to the FW you have Downloaded before, flash again but only that files:
BL - AP - Home_CSC NOT CP !
Reboot Device, now you can see its usable again and no google FRP !!!!!!!.
2)only now you can see in download mode the famous little tiny letters:
FRP modeFF
before I always seen:
FRP MODE: ON
You have to understand that is not a clear procedure, and only at last, …..without hope, you can see the FRP mode: OFF.
To finish the whole Process you have to power off the Device again and go in Bootloader Mode.
start Odin once again, now you flash all Files >> BL - AP - CP - Home-CSC
Thats it, setup your Device and enjoy.
Use only the right file!!!

Try Updato.com or shell.boxwares.com
Updato for the newest and for different country / branding,
Boxware has Combination file ,Sboot, ENGboot, stock recovery, etc.
sometimes the DL speed is horrible sometimes you have it in a few minutes, you just have to try
or just google the AP like A320FLXXS3CRK! and you'll find enough sources with good download speed for free

Use samfirm or frija for PC. It can download firmware at full speed.

Did you meanwhile found a combination firmware that works with latest bootloader updates ?

---

Unfortunately not flashable because bootloader version (3) is older than the one on the device (4). Is there a newer combination firmware?

---

I have been having no luck with an a320fl. any ideas why this is happening?
Edit: I was using the wrong version of odin. this has been solved.
this is what odin logs during a flash:
