So I just inherited a J1 Prime Mini 2017 model (SM-J106B), previous owner finally decided he has had enough with very limiting storage and upgraded to a Xiaomi RedMi 8. Any chance of porting Android Go to this device? I'm willing to try doing it myself in my free time, but I have no idea where to start - while I have been messing with Windows Mobile images back in the days, I've lost touch of my inner programmer and I can't work out head or tail on how to start with custom Android images. Due to the sorry size of the storage (~8GB), I'd like a firmware without all the bloat and contains just the barebones Google Go stuff.
@blakegriplingph any advice?
Has Samsung released the source tarball to this device? Also, is there a TWRP for this?
There is a sub-section on XDA found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-j1-mini I looked it has a TWRP version etc
Necroing because I need space on the device more than ever.

Well, I see that the thread has been moved to the right forum. I see that there's a TWRP for it, but how do I go from here? How do I get an image of the flash on the phone, replace the stuff, and put it back? Sorry for sounding like a noob but as I said I've lost touch with my inner programmer and am having trouble digesting all the info.

TWRP needs to be flashed onto your device using Odin. But you can find that also in this sub-forum.

This link is for SM-J105H is it compatible with SM-J106H ?

i'm having the same issue too, there isn't a clear answer in the development page for the US version yp-g1 from what i can see. a link to this information would be appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Tonight my YP-G1 (USA Player 4.0) went into infinite boot logo loops.
Luckily I can still access Clockworkmod Recovery.
I agree it's not clear how we can fix our devices (I am a total newbie!).
I found what *might* be the USA ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412875
However no one has confirmed it's good and that it will actually work. I'm afraid to do anything, and not sure what I'm doing or what my options are. This is my first Android device and I only had it for a few days.
Please, someone help us newbies with some good instructions.
I am so nervous right now.
OK, so I have the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (I couldn't find a 7.0 section here, so I picked the next closest) it's not through any phone company. I tried to root, but it failed, so I did a restore bluh bluh bluh. Once I restored I went to update to the latest for my device. It said my system has been modified so there is no update (something along those lines). What do I do to fix this? This is my first android device and I am trying to learn the ropes. I hope I didn't mess this up too badly. Thanks for the help.

Since you have a Galaxy Tab 2, then you need to ask your questions in the Galaxy Tab 2 section of the forums. Anything you install from this section of the forum isn't likely to work on your device.
Short answer to your question - you need to use Triangle Away to fix this.

Sorry, I didn't see the tab 2 forum. My apologies. But thank you. I will ask over there to get a more detailed set of instruction set. Thanks again!
Hi,
I'm fairly new to android (recent iOS convert) and playing with roms, I got an international samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was already rooted and I put the Smartisan OS on to it. After playing with it for a while, it's good but a little buggy in it's pre-alpha state, I'd like to put standard android 4.2 (not the samsung stock software) onto the device.
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction to do this please? I've googled and can find people rooting the device or putting other ROMs onto it but nothing that tells me how to put standard android 4.2 on it from the Smartisan OS it's on now.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Best,
Greg
Just flash an aosp zip via recovery and do a factory reset

thanks but I don't really know exactly what that means to be honest
Where do I get an aosp zip from and how do I flash it?

This is what the guides and FAQs are for in general

I thought I made it obvious that I wasn't able to find what I needed in there....
Nope. You didnt mention "general" at all. You said you googled. Look in "General" - important stuff is stuck at the top.
Or follow the link a moderator posted to you in your duplicate thread.
We wont spoon feed you.
Or see the sticky fas and guides .
Any user who cannot find the basics and has not read them should flash nothing .
Saves bricking your phone through ignorance is why .

I'm just asking for a bit of help, a link to something relevant, is that unreasonable to you? I thought this was a help forum.
I've looked and looked and can't find anything on installing pure android from the smartisan OS
Lots about rooting and lots about installing new roms, nothing about simply putting android 4.2 onto it... Do I just need to root it? (mine came rooted with omega on it so I don't know if simply rooting would do the job)
It's probably just the correct terminology that I need to know, is all.

No its a developers forum and users get tired of the same questions day after day .

Root does not put on a rom .

OP if you're not going to bother searching and reading the advice given and then abuse those who try to help, why are you on this site?
Thread cleaned and closed.
Ok so months ago, I sold my buddy my Honor 5x. It at the time had a custom rom, kernel was still based on android 5.X from stock. Now my friend wants to know how he can restore to a nand from 5.x, retuen to stock, grab the 6.X update and what ever updates are around on stock, reflash custom recovery and go on linage os.
I didn't see any links referring to tools or old roms so if anyone could help me out, that be awesome because i have to rewrite instructions with libks to send back to him.
Again i need the 5.x (before 6.0 update) nandroid so he can restore back to stock for updates

There is a very useful function called 'search bar' which is located on the top right of web page.
Here is the link, it will take you to "Honor 5X Guide..." section, locate the specific thread that may help you.

Late reply, but yea, there's a A4, an A40 and an A42 forum. Not sure why there's no A41 forum.
and is there any Custom ROM for this model or is it better to forget it?
I was using different search engines and tried to look on 4pda russian site and some german site with no luck
i also have this model and want to root it. i've found a few sites that have a how-to but i do not trust them.
Seems like A41 and A51 are taking off here, I know at least 5 people with them, they got them last year, but yeah, not much on the techy web about it.

Are you rooted now?
It is pretty easy with Magisk.
Base thing is to have original software, that you can download from https://www.sammobile.com.
BTW:
Some folk, me included, requested to add this device to inventory but so far not much success.

In the end I did not do this. I've gotten a new phone, sorry.

I drive my rooted A41 since months.
If something is not broken - don't repair it - this is my rule and I don't have time to follow all new trends.
Besides - I have other, backup Galaxy, M12, which was rooted with help of this forum, too.
How to root A41?
Reading this forum to learn.
Everything I did was taken from here and while I don't have it till hands as rooting happened months ago surely all this is here, newer software & ROM hints including.
I have built a kernel if anyone wants it @F308
Also TWRP has been developed on Telegram and waiting for testing
