Hi devs!
I have an A10s with stock ROM (Android 11) as a temporary phone and i gotta say after few days living with it i believe it's the slowest/chunkiest phone i've ever used idk how does Samsung gets away with this kind of crap but i digress, I think if any phone needs the magic of a custom OS is this one for sure, i went ahead and started unlocking/flashing TWRP then realizing that there's no custom ROMs for this phone! i've searched almost everywhere with no luck, any ideas on where/how to find custom ROMs?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you can get TWRP installed, you should be able to use any GSI. @AndyYan has been building LineageOS GSIs with and without built in root; I believe there's also Pixel Experience.
If you want to try out vanilla AOSP check out my guide here; the same process applies for any GSI.
As a last note, please be aware that we have device specific sections on this forum, so you should have posted this thread in the Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers section. We will move it for you as a courtesy, but going forward please use the Search function before posting.

If you can't find it by searching, I probably can't either. I did find this, and you probably could have as well. I'm not saying I don't want to help you, but you need to understand that to make the most use out of XDA, you need to be willing and able to look for and absorb information on your own.

I've been trying to TWRP to install but without luck, there's only one thread about it and it's by @ItzKaguya but unfortunately it's not working for me, here's what i tired so far:
*Bootloader unlocked sccussfully
*flashed both "vbmeta.tar" & "twrp-3.7.0_9.0-a10s.tar" sccussfully
however when i try to boot into TWRP using Vol UP + PWR i get "this phone's bootloader is unlocked" message asking me to press PWR to contuine which turn on the phone normally into the OS
Any thoughts?
Note:
I was running the latest android version on this phone (Android 11 OneUI Core 3.1) but i've downgraded to (Android 10 OneUI Core 2.1) and it didn't work as well, i'm going to downgraded again to Android 9 and try it while waiting for your input.

That is completely normal and will appear whenever your bootloader is unlocked. Ignore it, your device should boot normally.
If you're trying to get into TWRP, hold Volume Up during a reboot until you see this screen, then let go and click Power. The device should boot into recovery.

Unfortunately there isn't any support for A10s (A107F) from TWRP however they do support the older version A10 (A105F) i guess they didn't bother with supporting another piece of crap but thanks anyway.
we already working on it. we got first custom rom booted, but still need some fixes
as temporary solution, you can use GSI with arm32_binder64-ab or a64-ab arch

Okey so in the new update (1.1) I've made it so i can specify what the download link is for both cwm and twrp.
All you guys need to do is let me know when there is a newer version!

Not just your tool that ends in a bootloop, the n5 bootloader actually has some faults, I was thinking of making a patched bootloader for the device, but due to noone having a bricked device i cannot

So do I have to do something to fix the bootloop issue? Also why is that so? You need to have a bricked phone before you could make a patched bootloader.

wipe data factory reset(data, dalvik and cache)
that fixes the bootloop!
and modifying the bootloader is quite risky, if you do something wrong it could fail to write, fastboot and adb can fail to operate, cauld cause major issues that are un repairable without riffbox etc.. and even sometimes that doesnt work...
looks good, but bugs as above..

Do we need 20 toolkits doing the same stuff? People need to learn what they are doing. With the rise of kits there is a rise in bricked phones for stupid reasons. People flashing cm kernels on non cm roms because they have no idea.
One kit is enough stop reinventing the wheel. Put your skills to something more useful.

That's funny. So you revived a 4 month old Dead Thread for what?? So we could hear your useless stupid rants about a contribution that someone wanted to make, an area which you have failed to achieve. If people don't read and know what they are doing then that is their fault, not someone who wanted to learn and or grow his skills by creating a toolkit. Put your skills to something useful and release something of your own, don't go being critical trying to revive old threads for no reason; and complaining about toolkits all over various Nexus 5 threads. Grow Up!
I need a couple of testers for a Senseless (both meanings of the word) ROM that I'm putting together. It is nothing too special, but with your help it might be decent. It is not Android 4.0+, but merely Honeycomb.
I'll take the first two people to reply to this post. I'll get them a testable ROM in the near future and they can have at it.
Maybe we can breath some much needed life into this forgotten tablet!
WiFi Error
I have tested your ROM and I think it's very well done! I only have one problem however. After following the Aroma install (I selected to replace the kernel so WiFi would work) my WiFi reports an error and will not connect to anything. I tried reloading the ROM several times and still no joy. I don't see anyone else having an issue with this so I'm wondering what I missed. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Your ROM was my first install from the stock OS that comes from HTC.
Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention that I also tried installing the DoomLord Kernel WiFi Module.zip to fix and it didn't help.
In order for Hive to work you should have Hive kernel installed -- either via Hive installer or fastboot. Hive also requires the WiFi modules that it installs because only they pair with Hive kernel -- and not any other kernel.
The installer asks you if you want to install the kernel and I've never heard of this failing. Are you sure that you selected this option? For 99% of people just pressing [Next] for every question in the installer is the best option.
After the install your Settings->About->Software information->More should look like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I suggest that you install again and verify as per above. If the kernel did not flash then you'll be the first second to report this. I don't know why some users encounter problems, but there is a manual method to install the kernel (the hive_x.zip /boot.img file) which you can perform.
To manually install the kernel take the following link to a tutorial on How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot.

I think you nailed the problem right on the head with the Kernel on my tablet being incorrect. My tablet reports:
Kernel Version
2.6.35.10-g01487c4
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 3 05:14:25 CST 2011
Baseband Version
1.04.5501.15v2_30.60.550I.10P
Build Number (same as yours)
I did exactly as you prescribed by basically hitting next for all of the options in Aroma and had the same result. I'm somewhat familiar with Fastboot so all I would need is the Kernel.img to flash and I should be good to go right? Maybe the modem.zip also since they have to be mated and it may be that this file isn't flashing as well?
Thanks for your help with this

You are the first to report this, so I'll have to look into why. Both of my tablets are from Rogers. Is yours from AT&T? For now we'll have to rely to fastboot to address your problem.

You will just need the boot.img that is in the / directory of the Hive archive (hive_x.zip). Once you boot the tablet to Fastboot then you just need to fastboot flash boot boot.img.
I don't think you'll have to do anything with the radio since I've never heard of a radio image for the Jetstream before.
Let me know how it goes.
Kernel Issue Fixed
Just wanted to send an update. Your hunch about the Kernel being the problem was spot on. For some reason the Kernel wasn't flashing with the use of Aroma but when I went into ADB it flashed just fine and now WiFi works!
I do have an AT&T Jetstream. I'm not sure why that would be the cause but maybe you're onto something about the baseband being different that may be the cause. Either way I'm up and running now!
Thank you SO SO MUCH for the help with this! Although there aren't many of us left with a Jetstream I share your thoughts about the tablet still having a good value. I hope that someone will be able to help us up the OS to Jellybean or KK someday.
Take Care!
Chad
You can also try Hive II beta -- since it has an updated installer. I doubt that it fixes your kernel flashing issues, but it is possible. I wasn't going to release a beta, but with your situation it makes sense.
Even though you have solved the kernel problem you may still want to try this.

I am hoping to give this a try myself. I have my jetstream that I haven't really turned on for some time but will give this a shot and see how it goes. Keep at it boss! I do have it rooted. Im also gonna keep the issues in mind with WiFi. I'll update you shortly.

Just installed Hive III today (thanks!!!) and even though the aroma install proceeded seemingly without error, it did not flash the kernel.
I've done it manually and everything is now looking good, including WiFi.

I have no idea why some Jetstreams reject the AROMA kernel install and others do not. It has always worked on my devices.
I'm glad that you got it working via fastboot.

Long time no see, how are you?
Sorry didn't managed to catch up again, too little time back home, busy.....
Anyway, @onejay09's open source could shed some light for this Jetstream poor baby, unfortunately I don't know any of it, most hardcore keyword that could leapfrog us are some complex ION thingy worked and forego the something about old_panel_driver from/off something about msm_fb. Hope this helps. Good luck !!!

I will have a look at that source. However, I think that cobbling something together would be a huge undertaking without a working reference Android 4.x+ ROM. Beginning and ending its life in Honeycomb means that Jetstream ROM source was never open.
Being back home must be great, glad to hear.
Thanks for responding, while reading through 109 pages onejay09 said the chipset is 7x3 and not real 8x3 or something. Page 59, in short it's so old. Could this be one of the same obstacles for Jetstream? I don't know. Well, good luck to us all.
Please fellows, I am actually an android app developer. Most of my development work is done on rooted android phone.
However, I just got this new phone gionee p8w.
I have tried several means to root it like king root iroot pc and mobile version yet no success.
Please any can help me with actually working solutions to this. I will be really greatful and get back to my development work.
Android version is 6.0 marshmallow.
Thank you all.
One click root apps like Kingroot can't root your device. You need to install a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash Super Su which will give you root access on your Gionee p8w.

Is it possible for me to flash twrp for other gionee devices on my gionee p8?.

Don't try that at all. Since your device is new, you need to port a working TWRP Recovery to your device. If you have the stock recovery, upload it to any file sharing site and post the link here.
I will try to port a working custom recovery for your device.
Also drop your device specs..

if you are in hurry and you have your software files you may include su files into it and flash the software againg from pc

Don't try that at all. Since your device is new, you need to port a working TWRP Recovery to your device. If you have the stock recovery, upload it to any file sharing site and post the link here.
I will try to port a working custom recovery for your device.
Also drop your device specs..

I don't know how to get the stock recovery from the device.
I also searched online but couldn't find.
Please let me upload my device specs.

To get the recovery, follow the tutorial here https://www.kriztekblog.com/2017/05/backup-mtk-firmware-miracle-box.html
Make sure you use *save as scatter* during backup.

I see that the process will be a very tough and tedious one.
Actually I hoped there could be an automated process to it.
Following the whole procedure could get me start venturing to rom and kernel tinkering which I try to avoid Cus am already occupied with app development.
Based on your first reply do you mean that my device can never be rooted by "one click root" apps?
Is there possibility of Kingroot being able to root my device in nearest future.?
I sincerely appreciate your efforts.

It isn't as hard as you think. Just installing drivers, downloading the software and connecting your phone as the instructions state. Well, One Click Root apps don't work on the recent Android versions /MTK chips.

Thanks so much. I don't really know why Google always prefer to make things so over-complicated.
They know people buy Android phones just so they can root it and do stuffs yet they overcomplicate the whole issue.
I hope to venture to kernel tinkering soon. Even may be write my own OS.
Thanks you so much.
If you get information when "one click root start working, please alert me on this thread.
Thank you.
This is now discontinued since I found out there's a proper TWRP coming to this phone. Leaving the thread & download open in case anyone wants it though, but be warned this is now obsolete and I won't be supporting this project of mine anymore
WHAT WORKS:
Not sure, don't have the phone to test for myself and at this point in time no one has come forward to test yet. When someone does I'll edit this
WHAT DOESNT WORK:
Because this is a dirty port, the recovery will think this is a G7 (if it works at all), when as we all know this is in fact a G7 Power. There is nothing I can really do about this, this is the nature of dirty ports
Not sure, don't have the phone to test for myself and at this point in time no one has come forward to test yet. When someone does I'll edit this
DOWNLOAD:

I cannot provide any source code since this was a dirty port, so no actual source was used. The only things I used to make this were a G7 TWRP image, a G7 Power boot image, and carliv's image kitchen
THANKS TO:
@Alberto97 for the G7 TWRP image I dirty ported from
Carliv for that Carliv Image Kitchen he made, that tool rocks!

Hi mate, firstly thanks for the effort involved, and the time spent.
Ok, so fastboot booting the twrp.img loads the moto boot animation for a second, which is new for me, then (as usually happens) the bad key message and boots as usual to the system.
no work,

Did you flash the dtbo before doing this? I learned from the G7 Play that you need to fastboot flash that partition right before trying to do stuff with the recovery or else it might not work. If booting doesn't work, if you have a stock ROM backup, try flashing it instead

Download stock firmware for your specific variant of the G7 Power, the lolinet site holds stock firmware zips that should have it in there. Google lolinet mirror firmware and you should see what site I'm talking about

Well it was worth a shot I suppose. Spoke to people in a telegram group for this and they're apparently 99% done a proper build of TWRP for this phone. I'd say at this point just wait for that if this isn't working since I don't know what to do to fix mine
Consider the thread closed now

Same, to me this is the better device out of the G line and yet it gets not attention. I've been waiting for more development but nothing's going on
So where is the official TWRP port ? it was said that somebody on telegram was going to release it in a couple of days
BUMP, I wan't buy this phone but without TWRP I need to wait or buy something else... But I never find such good battery as here

Be thankful you have root and not ungrateful about no TWRP release yet. The people that have the Samsung American variants of the SM520 will NEVER get a bootloader unlock, ergo NEVER GETTING AT LEAST ROOT!

Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!
You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!
Disclaimer Please Read!!
This may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
Please Read Notes
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image
Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap
Anything here with a .tar or .md5 gets flashed in odin
Anything here with a .img extension gets flashed as image in safestrap

You IMo this is a lot smoother than using EDL specially for the non seasoned modders.
If EDL works for you it works great But if you have EDL issues it seems like it could be a nightmare.
This is gonna be a turning point for a while This can open root for several samsung devices that may not have it yet I know last time I looked J3 US didnt have root. But i have most of whats needed to try this on it too

Awesome. Nice work again elli and jrk. Always love to see more ways to get back into Nougat with root. Now if only we had a stable Android 7 Rom that wasn't as buggy as Samfail.
It has the battery bug that only charges at 80% after installing the root

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question..
IF Im using Samfail with
TWIZtd Vengeance N8 V2.5-
What's the advantage of going this route ? What does BL ver.7 give me?
I do have frequent kernel panic reboots.. But think that might be the Rom.
Thanks

There was no way to root previously if you were on stock v7 bootloaders. All this is is a way too root if you didn’t already have root
