Hello,
I have an issue with making a tweaked, modified, etc TouchWiz ROM (aka BaconOS).
When I debloated, deodexed, deknoxed it with Assayed kitchen (and by flashing a debloat/deknox zip before that), the WiFi stopped working for some reason.
So I tried deodexing and only removing some apps (file manager, camera, samsung store, email, gapps), but that didn't fix the issue.
After that, I tried flashing stock ROM (Nothing changed, extracted using ext4unpacker) with assayed kitchen's updater-script, but still nothing.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
maybe replace wifi folder from very stock rom..?

It has to do something with deodexing, because when I deodexed the stock rom, wifi stopped working. So the ROM will be odexed (a bit slower)
tried with odex system, problem is with debloating..
Hi, are you seriously making a ROM for this old device? Wow, finally something at last!
Had this device since christmas of 2014 and actively used it as my main device until january 2017.
During this time, I rooted it about 6 times. A couple of times I did it with Kingroot (or was it Kingoroot?) and all was well. But every time I tried to root using a SuperSU root that I found here, there was this glitch that would seemingly trigger out of nowhere, causing infinite "App has closed unexpectedly" messages to appear, along with a black screen behind those warnings, nothing worked until I did a factory reset. Yea, frustrating times...
I have always wondered why nobody bothered to port literally anything to this phone. Not even a (working) custom recovery was ever available for it. There was one that I tried, but was very unsuccessful in trying to boot it.
All that being said, my phone's battery has unfortunately "gone up in size", or "spicy pillow", so I can't really test anything right now.
My phone is the SM-G357FZ running TMZ firmware (Czech republic T-Mobile), and I always wanted to get rid of that and put an unbranded European CSC/firmware onto it.
I support you in your efforts OP and can't wait to test out your work!
Edit: I just discovered that there was an official update released by Samsung in 2021! Have you considered basing your ROM on that instead of the now ancient 2017 ROM?

So the other day my S3 gave up the ghost, and developed the hard-brick "QHSUSB_DLOAD" error. I have insurance so I was overnighted a new phone, and am sending the old one away. I believe this was related to a long-term power button issue I was having, perhaps a virus, or something. I had not changed anything to the ROM I was using since about October, and the issue just happened now in May.
At any rate, the new S3 I received is an MJB version, Android 4.3, Knox and all that other good stuff. After several failed attempts, I found a method to root this phone and disable Knox. The Warranty Bit is already tripped, so clearly I'm not sending this phone back until it hard bricks as well. I am trying to install the StockMOD ROM that is very popular, however I am being plagued by problem after problem.
I was able to flash a version of CWM Recovery onto my phone, but it was too old and couldn't mount any of the folders. Using ROM Manager, I was able to flash an update to my Recovery, and now it mounts and views all folders properly. However, when I go to install the StockMOD ROM, I continuously get a Status 7 error, something about "expects 5 args, got 3." I wiped the data, cache, and Dalvik, but kept getting this error. So, I had to recover my backup of stock, which didn't go well either. Once my backup was installed, all of my apps kept crashing. Gapps, ROM Manager, everything kept giving me constant FC errors. I had to wipe my data, cache, and Dalvik again and go back to factory default, and reinitialize the phone. Luckily I haven't installed anything of importance on here yet.
A quick search through here states that I need to use TWRP as my Recovery. I've flashed TWRP several times, first using the 2.6... version and then the most recent 2.7.0.0 version, and neither of these will mount any of my folders. It just gives me a litany of errors trying to mount the various locations. I've done Fix Permissions and everything else, TWRP will just NOT mount anything. Other folks say I need the latest PhilZ Recovery. I've downloaded the latest PhilZ Touch 6 and flashed it via Odin. It is giving me the same errors as regular CWM, Status 7, "expecting 5 args, got 3."
I don't know what else to do. My S3 that ran Android 4.0 was so much easier. I had that thing rooted and running a TW based ROM with Nova launcher in about 30 minutes. This phone has been a disaster since I turned it on. I'm just trying to get a 4.3 TW based ROM. I like the Samsung Camera, Calendar, Clock, Messaging, and Contacts apps far better than AOSP versions. But I also want much more customization to my notification drawer toggles. Stock TW doesn't have the toggles I use frequently like the data toggle as well as the torch toggle.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, because unlike a lot of folks out there, once I find a ROM I like, I stick with it. I'm not constantly updating, changing, or searching for the newest version of Android. There's nothing wrong with that, it just isn't my cup of tea. So does anyone know what I need to do? At this point, I'm about to just give up and use Nova over top of rooted stock TW and call it a day.
Thanks!
Have you tried to go back stock rom using Odin ? I think it might resolve your recovery problem

Everything is stock except the recovery. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.7 with PhilZ Touch 6. I'm still using the stock TW 4.3 ROM that shipped with the phone. The only exception is that I'm rooted now.
I suggest you to go back to a 4.1 official stock rom with odin to be sure to have no more issue.
This can help you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
Also, don't forget to backup your apps with titanium backup and all your sms :good:

Unfortunately, I've heard that it is not possible to revert to anything prior to 4.3 once a phone comes factory installed with 4.3, due to all of the security enhancements and etc. My kernel, modem, and baseband are all factory stock 4.3 MJB. Everyone else on the boards, under various other topics, warn of immediate and sudden death to the phone if you attempt to install a baseband prior to 4.3 MJB.
I'm very surprised to hear that, because recently i've flash stock 4.3 rom and then go back to 4.1.2 to flash a 4.4 rom without any issue and i've got nothing for issues.
Maybe it depends on which country you are ( i'm from France ) ? For what i know , there is a VERY little chance that this downgrade cause dammage to your phone

I'm in the USA. The security features on the I747 US version are far different. I don't know how everyone else is succeeding. I am completely lost.
You are in the wrong forum, anything you try from here will hard brick your phone.

Tried TWRP?
just got this phone yesterday, and it was on 4.4.4 , so I went through the rooting process (downgrade/root/upgrade) and everything is working fine
I did build my pre-rooted .167 version based on my customization number (downloaded files through xpirifirm), and spent today restoring my backups with titanium, but I just noticed that now I'm using an odexed rom, which I totally hate since it isn't mod-friendly, so I decided to look into deodexing
The thread I found with google points to a deodex script by a dev here on xda, problem is it does not work with Z2, so my only current choice is to download a pre-rooted & deodexed rom and use that, I'd rather create one from my device's Customization FTF file, but I haven't gotten any luck, yet.
I used to have a Note2, and I created a couple of deodexed roms for personal use and for the sake of learning how to use android kitchen, any ideas if it works with the Z2 stock rom (kitchen thread doesn't mention anything)
would appreciate any help, still a Sony/xperia nub, so please take it easy on me
Kamome Tool is something you can use or you can download one already pre-made
yeah, I eventually used that on my phone, and it seems to work fine, although there are some odex files left (due to lack of companion jar files)
I didn't want to download a pre-made rom since it meant different customization number, and people were reporting NC (noise cancellation) not working when using such roms, plus I got to learn something new myself this way

noise cancleing is a odd one.
if it works on your current rom, itll work if you flash anorher
but if you data wipe on the 2nd rom it stops working untill you go back to the one it was working on
so i had a tiwanese FTF flashed and NC was working. i flashed a custom rom and it was still working till i had to wipe my device
I just rooted my phone (Samsung S6 Edge [SM-G925P] running Android 6.0.1) this Friday and I have a couple of questions about using the CyanogenMod ROM and installing Xposed. To note, I am pretty, pretty new (I literally just rooted 2 days ago.
So my question about CyanogenMod is will it run on my rooted Samsung and is it dedoxed? I already have TWRP and SuperSU flashed and installed on my phone.
And my question about Xposed is will it run on my phone, as well with CyanogenMod, TWRP and SuperSU? I tried installing it with the original ROM on my phone, but that provided to be disasterous since it soft-bricked my phone, but I heard that was because my ROM was deodexed.
Hi NovaViper ! It depends. Cyanogenmod and other ROMS can come in two flavors: odexed or deodexed. The one on the official Cyanogenmod Website is deodexed. If you go on Cyanogemod's official website they don't have a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge. Check it out: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/ Look at the left to see supported devices. Unfortunately, it's not there. Some Galaxy S6 / Edge models do support Cyanogenmod but as for your model the SM-G925P there is still no official support for CM ROM. Check this link out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s6-t3269984 Just out of curiosity, why do you want to install CM on your device?
I want to try CM because I heard it offers full customization.. I really would like to customize the lockscreen and colors of the UI especially and because it is deodexed, so I can also add Xposed. I have another ROM atm called Mostly Stock (its based on ROM but its deodexed and have a few changes to the stock UI, BUT it still has the parts I hate about the stock ROM). I specifically want CM because I haven't found any other ROM that offers full customization, deodxed for Xposed, and most importantly, is not like the stock ROM.
Oh, also with CM, I tried to install it but it said my device isn't support.. I tried the one from the link
If you want a full stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and XPosed on it I would recommend this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519. My friend has it on his ROOTED S6 Edge and it offers even more customization's then Cyanogenmod plus you can install XPosed on it. Give it a try.
Thanks I already flashed it but I notice that it isn't responsive to touch. I can interact with the buttons but no response to touch whatsoever. Seems like there isn't a ROM that works with my SM-G925P, the edge that rom works with is a G925F
Hmm, I thought it would work on your model. Try this: http://androidfreeroms.com/renegade-android-m-6-0-1-aroma-rom-sprint-samsung-s6-g925p/
I got the rom flashed and running.. but i cant seem to restore my messages from the samsung backup.. i can only get them from Textra (which doesnt export them). Also, i cant receieve text messages either.
Well, I finally got my messages backed up but.. I notice something else now. I had installed Xposed, which ended up giving me a bootloop and I had to factory and data reset, and reflash my stock rom. then I installed TWRP and then Renegade, but the mobile data isn't working anymore. Its just black the black bars.. I can't even find the Mobile Data enable button anywhere. (It works on stock rom though). To point out, mobile data WAS working before I installed Xposed. Right now, I'm reflashing my stock rom and seeing if it works.
--UPDATE 1--
Yeah, the stock mobile data works.. although I do have a theory on what could be going on
Theory 1: It could be I have to install my ROMS a certain way, initally, I had stock ROM, then I added the "Mostly Stock ROM" THEN I added Rengeade when you suggested it to me
Theory 2: Possibily signal strength/proxies (I'm doing this at on my school's wifi)
Theory 3: Something that Xposed has modified and its still there
--UPDATE 2--
I did the first theory and it worked successfully BUT.. I did remember that I had installed SuperSU soon after flashing twrp (which came after i flashed the stock rom).. Now I'm trying to see if that made a difference.
--UPDATE 3--
Ok, so it seems that it is a certain install order (tried with both superSU installed first and without). But I'm worried now about installing Xposed.. as I'm now nervous that it may end up messing up my phone again (It took a while for me to figure out how to get it back working.. as it ended up bricking with continuous looping and even factory resetting/clearing data off didn't work. I had to flash the stock rom for it to work again)
Interesting. My friends all have the International version which is G925F. Yours is Sprint ? Or some other cell phone provider ?
If your model goes haywire with simple custom rom installations and other apps than I wouldn't risk installing XPosed BUT if you do then try to follow these instructions... they work for your model:
https://xtremetricks.net/install-xposed-framework-android-6-0-6-0-1-marshmallow/
My phone is Sprint and I downloaded Xposed from the Magitsk app and it worked without bricking my phone.. I wonder why it was acting up
Strange thing, I seems I HAVE to install the 'Mostly Stock ROM' BEFORE I add Renegade.. the mobile data works to not work at all without installing Mostly Stock first.. How any idea how to fix this?
Well, I tried installing Magisk and it bricked my phone once again.. I'm really confused with whats going on. I have a backup of the stock ROM from SamMobile. What I want to do now is completely clear off ALL data from all of the roms and just start over, is that even possible? Also, if I delete the system files, do I HAVE to install the Stock ROM first, or can I just add the custom ROM and it will add the OS?
Well normally for rooted phones, you only add the custom ROM and it will automatically add the OS. I have no idea why you having so much problem with it. Did you unluck the bootloader ??
Yeah.. (I think), I made sure OEM Unlock is enabled and USB debugging is on.. Not sure what could be causing such problems with my phone.. I honestly wish I knew
What method did you use to root your phone and unlock the bootloader ?
I used the systemless method (installed TWRP, then installed the latest SuperSU which used the systemless method by itself) and I think I did.. there was an option where I had to enable (it was called OEM Unlocking, it was preventing me from flashing)
And I forgot to ask another question.. should I (and if such thing is possible) wipe the system/ folder and then install the custom ROM onto my phone without having to add the stock one at all?
What I would do if I were in your shoes is I would unroot and re-lock your bootloader again... see this article for unrooting: http://howunroot.com/unroot-supersu/samsung/galaxy+s6+edge+sm-g925p/5.0/ Now... once you unroot your phone... I don't think re-locking your bootloader will have any effect... but you can try to relock your bootloader and bring it to the original state meaning factory... once there just follow these instructions step by step: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/skipsoft-toolkit-galaxy-s6-edge-root-unlock-restore-flash-stock-firmware-drivers-more-1517879 Once you root it and unlock your bootloader again, and after your install TWRP, go into TWPR, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe everything ... and then instlal the custom ROM that I gave you in the link, and it should be working find without problems. Try that and get back to me and update me... if you have any questions then just post it here and I will help you as much as i can.
I don't think I unlocked the bootloader because I looked up the instructions to how to unlock the bootloader and I didn't do that.. all I did was enable OEM unlock, is that the same thing as unlocking the bootloader? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Edit: They do keep coming!
I looked into doing it, and there is no way in hell that I should be a) doing it, and b) unleashing it onto the world. It would be bad.
I only have the one phone to test it on and can't risk messing it up and I don't have the experience to work on it if it didn't come out perfectly.
I expect that it will be the last Sprint ROM released for this phone, We're nearing the end of support, so it would be good to have these final versions "fixed" and available
...on the off chance a few developers will jump right in and cook up a few mega ROMs for us.
DQG1 Root and Xposed (rewritten)
On a related note, I installed stock DQA1 DQG1, using the usual CF Autoroot, battery pull thingy process Odin for the ROM and TWRP, then booting once, booting into recovery, and then installing SuperSU and it rooted fine. No loss of settings or anything else as far as I can tell.
I did have to install the latest versions of the Xposed files. After rooting and custom recovery (TWRP works fine), install XposedInstaller_3.1.4.apk first like any other apk, then go to recovery and install Wanam v87.1-alt-sdk23-arm-custom-build, but everything (Xprivacy, etc.) worked fine. Keep in mind, you HAVE to use the "alt" (see the "alt" in the file name above?) version or else it won't work. Samsung made some changes, blah, blah, blah. Much thanks to Wanam!
New side note: I did do a factory wipe, and even after reinstalling everything, and using a ROM that contains bloatware, I still have like 40% more space on the phone. I truly don't know what happened there.
Anyone have any thoughts as to kernel? I downloaded Emotion r26 RC1, and BeastModeKernel 1.0BETA, but I haven't tried them yet.
EDIT: Emotion r26 RC1 works fine, but it doesn't seem like CPU freqs are ever going to stick.
No surprise that neither Emotion nor BeastModeKernel worked; I haven't seen anything else that may.
Thoughts anyone?
Both kernels are good, emotion has a few more options to tweak but I took an update a month or two ago and run NotEdge ROM fine , I just use SO launcher with it because I like TW, also latest xposed is 86.1 and I wish I could do what your asking but it probably would be just as bad you'll be fine with that ROM I just suggested it has everything u just requested just make a nandroid and do it at home in case you do something wrong you can always ODIN back your firmware

Eating a little crow here. So far, there have been two three 742 updates, maybe there will be more. Who knows?
But I edited the title of the first post. Again. Again. 741 times.
Do you guys have a link to the stock unrooted rom? My phone is royally screwed right now and still stock. I want to do a clean flash and see if that fixes it.
Over a year later, and the still keep coming.
Hmmmm.
I did take another gander around, but it seems that I would need Linux to do it correctly, so I am still opting out of doing it myself.

Hello i got a note 4 Sprint MM 6.0.1 N910PVPU5DQI5 . i am from Argentina, and i bought the phone used from a guy from USA. (i don`t know how but it`s working with the bands here but i dont know if 4g is working, the guy says it works, maybe i don`t have 4g singal in my zone) .
the phone works fine, but has some srpint stuff and ads that bother me. so i flashed TWRP , and now i am looking for any roms and kernels to flash.
for example, is safe to flash this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-updated-1-14-2017-t3538051
or should i change something first ???.
I'm very new to the rooting community, and I'm well aware of all of the problems. I've messed around, and bricked my phone many times but always knew how to fix it by flashing the custom rom. I've did whole of April until I figured out the proper rooting my model's for 6.0.1 software, and the 7.1.1 software. I eventually got tired of repeating this process, so in May (after I properly rooted my device and everything worked perfectly) I backed up everything including my system in TWRP.
Now the problem is, after using the xui tuner from xposed installer a bit, my phone seemed working for a bit, and lockscreen worked, but it randomly kept restarting at the boot animation . I grew impatient and restarted my phone properly a couple times but it kept rebooting after I unlocked my phone or just waited at my lockscreen. I then started got scared that I damaged something in my system or software, so I went to use TWRP to restore my backup (which I also literally backed up on this Tuesday). It apparently was successful, until the bootlogo freezing and saying my kernal wasn't SEANDROID ENFORCING.
Then now, I kept reformatting my data and restarting but it wouldn't work, it kept failing. So I gave up, and flashed my stock rom. This worked, but I obviously lost all my data. So to possibly help someone, I want to list what I think could've been the problem. (Still new, so I may list alot of unlikely things. Also random order)
1. I didn't format my data before the first restore, thus it failing.
2. Improper backup, I either backed up unnecessary partions like radio, or TWRP just didn't backup properly.
3. My sd card, I had many problems with my sd card before doing this type of stuff, but it went away during may. During may however, I backed up my magisk modules to it too, but they didn't appear on TWRP. Meaning it may have stopped working again. It also deleted my root folder, where I held the magisk zip and uninstaller.
Now this could bring another problem, I was using Magisk and Xposed installer, while also having my stock framework, xposed framework, and sony framwork (this was to use remote play), and in result my phone couldn't handle it and the module from both Magisk and Xposed.
4. I backed up my system while using the ashyx encryption zip, meaning when TWRP restored encrypted files?
5? XUI Tuner, I modified too many things with the app and probably did something to to the root directory. (Most likely Unlikely)
6. I modified my build prop by adding more code like the android users function, and TWRP probably couldn't back that up so it restored wrong like in 2
7? I modified TWRP by using a custom theme in the recovery, making certain functions like backup and restore not work?
8. I was using an old version of TWRP, 3.0.2 instead of 3.2 because 3.2. However, this is because 3.2 didn't work with my phone, and neither did 3.1.
I now flashed the stock rom, and everything works again. I just have to re-root. I didn't lose much data really, and I backed up some stuff in samsung cloud anyway. I just wanted to make this thread so I can fix the problem properly in the future, in which someone else may need it too. This model of samsung phone really isn't popular in the community, so it really would be helpful to other people. The solution could also work for other J700 variants, especially J700T1 since it's the most similar.
P.S. This is also just a small thing to help people too. Rooting this model is actually pretty easy, there's just a catch for one version of it.
6.0.1 can easily be rooted, especially with autoroot. It's works well, and you don't have to lose anydata at ALL! However magisk is untested.
7.1.1 on the other hand does require to format it's data to work so you have to back up anything you want to keep.. Superuser for me made wifi and the flashlight inaccessible, so I had to use Magisk. Which worked fine. There are two different versions of this root though. (Tested Once) One is basically like how the stock rom and has the manual, mobile data quick setting, and battery settings. to get it, don't use ashyx encrptyion . The other is like how you got it your device and set it up normally, no manual or extra settings, and requires ashyx encryption for this. The one I used was the ashyx encrpytion, and I was fine using this method because I kinda already lost everything over and over so I didn't care (end of april).
Edit: Turns out the stock version happens when you flash the stock rom, then immediately flash a custom recovery, and formatting the data without launching the the phone. I think this happens because when you get your phone, and activate it with a carrier sim card it downloads the additional files for that carrier which allows and when you format the data it formats the carrier version instead of the default system on the phone.
I hope we can find a solution for the kernal problem, so other people can fix this properly.
I would also like to ask if someone can make a odin and TWRP flashable kernal file of both the 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 versions of the SM-J700 variants, but for now in this thread the J700T is fine, unless all variants have the same stock kernal. This could be a solution and very helpful.
