Hello
I am newbie to this rooting process for HTC mobiles just wanted to clarify these steps to Root this phone?.
Unlock the bootloader
TWRP Recovery E8w (dual sim)
SuperSu 2.01
Download latest version of SDK
Flash recovery:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrpe8w.img (or fastboot flash recovery twrpe8t.img )
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Flashing SuperSu like always, using TWRP installing as any other zip package
Many Thanks for anyone help...
I rooted my phone using the same process, but instead of "fastboot flash" I used "fastboot boot" to boot from twrp temporarily but still keep the stock recovery untouched.
After rooting my phone, I found out I can't change anything on /system because I'm still S-ON. You'll have to S-OFF or flash an "insecure" kernel to do it.
Rooted phone..... but....
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone and flashed TWRP to the HTC M8SW.
It all seem to work Ok.... if I shutdown the phone and then decide to charge the mobile the TWRP screen appears all the time!.
Has anyone a copy of the Stock Recovery for the HTC M8SW? or know how to fix this?.
Thanks
Lollipop update crashed my phone!
I recently updated my HTC one M8sw (China unicom) to lollipop 5.0.2
Playstore refused to work after this update, so I decided to do restore factory settings.
Now after doing hard reset, I cannot add google pack! I cannot even see it in accounts & sync tab!
Can anyone please help?

Hi, I hope somebody can help me.
I have a Chinese SM-G9200. I did the following:
- pingpong root
- installed Flashify to install TWRP (success) and it asked to reboot
but during reboot now it says "Custom binary blocked by C-ROM" in pink on the top left corner of the screen of the boot Galaxy logo, then it shuts down :crying:
I cannot have it to complete the boot sequence anymore. See the picture attached.
Also when I try recovery mode is the same pink writing and then shuts down.
Only possibility is to go in download mode, but if I try to upload with Odin, the usual screen that says:
Installation Failure
You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
For information about how to unlock, please refer to your device information at wwwsamsungcom/cn.
Please press the power key to restart.
Please somebody help me to get back the phone to life!!! how can I unblock it?
thanks

Hi criszz,
Thanks! Where can I get the stock recovery? And then do I flash it with Odin in the PDA button?

you need to first install CROM from Galaxy app store and then unclock the bootloader. CROM is official Samsung software.

well... I've installed TWRP, but the touchscreen doesn't work, and also the buttons don't work in TWRP. How can I move the cursor?
I need to install the gapps...
I've installed TWRP 2.8.6.2. Is there any other version or any other recovery tool that works?
Or: is there any other way to install the gapps on this chinese S6?
Thanks for the support!!! :angel:
Ciccetti,
Could you tell me what steps you have taken to put the phone back to life. My phone always stuck at the logo screen like yours.

you need to reinstall the exact stock ROM for your mobile. You can find it for example on the sammobile website.
then install it with Odin: you can find the procedure by googling. the phone should not complain about "installing custom software", because it is the stock ROM.
once you are done, go on the galaxy store (icon on the phone) and search for C-ROM app. Install it and unlock your phone.
once done, you can reinstall TWRP with Flashify.
One hint: at the end of the flashify flashing, do not hit reboot button, otherwise the phone will only boot in TWRP and will not boot anymore into normal mode, and you have to reflash everything again.
Instead, after the flashify, do not press reboot, but hold the power button until the popup comes up and then press power off. Then after the phone is well off, keep volume up, home and power to boot into TWRP. Then you will be able to boot again into the normal phone.
Problem is: I can't get the touchscreen to work on TWRP and also the hardware buttons. How can I install the gapps?
So the stock rom should include the stock recovery so that once Odin finishes installation, it will replace TWRP recovery and the phone should be able to bypass the boot lock?

ok. found the way to install gapps using flashify.
telling flashify to install gapps through twrp doesn't require to use any button or touch in twrp. so now it is all set!!! :victory:
Do I need to locate the exact version of the stock rom in the phone? if it is a different (either older or newer) version, will it work? I ask this because I rooted the phone by pingpong root about three weeks ago and since then, Samsung has updated at least twice of their official stock rom.
@cicceti
mate, TWRP chinese version with english theme you need.

IT WORKS!!! thanks BrasoV!!!! :highfive:
so to recap:
Galaxy S6 bought in China SM-G9200
root with Pingpong (google it)
download C-ROM from the Galaxy Store to unlock it from flashing custom roms
download TWRP Chinese version (the "normal" one is not responsive to touch screen), with the English translation (for example, google "SVA SM-G9200" and download G9200-TWRP-2.8.6.0-CN(0601).tar and S6_TWRP_English_theme.zip)
Copy the English theme for TWRP on the phone (extract ui.zip from archive, put it into "/sdcard/TWRP/theme/" directory)
activate the USB debug mode on the phone (google "how to ...")
Install TWRP with Odin 3.10.6 (google "how to ...")
Boot the phone in normal mode
google "Flashify apk", download it and install it
run Flashify, click install GAPPS (choose gapps 5.0), choosing the TWRP option
DONE!!! now you have a S6 dual sim with GAPPS and a working TWRP!!!
NB: KNOX gets tripped and Triangle away doesn't work (yet)
THANKS BRASOV and all the other people!!!
also you can try my stock rom for 9200 hk P >>>>

Google Play Services on G9200 CHC
Absolutely Awesome :good: You guys saved my life with this solution having almost given up on my G9200 CHC version entirely.
No matter what I tried I always kept getting the "Google Services stopped working" message, even after I had rooted the phone. Then I did the mistake of updating to latest official firmware via Samsung Switch - only made everything worse.
If you did it anyway, here's how to fix it, and get back on track so you can apply the solution provided in this thread:
1. Download the firmware version that was originally installed on the phone (in my case G9200ZCU1AOD9)
2. Boot the phone in download mode and push the original firmware via Odin 3.10.6
3. Boot the phone normally and let it get to the Samsung logo - where it will get stuck/freeze
3. Now enter recovery mode (hold down Volume Up, Power and Home until the boot logo appears)
4. now Wipe data / factory reset and Wipe cache partition, then boot your phone normally.
5. The rest was piece of cake once I found this thread
I tried a million ways to get Gapps on my phone without rooting, but none of them work, even many methods with rooting never worked for me. This one worked, and everything is running smoothly now.
Thanks everyone.......

dear all,
did anybody succeed in installing the GAPPS on the SM-G9200 with the new update to lollipop 5.1.1?
i'm referring to ROM G9200ZCU1BOH2.
i succeeded in installing the G9200-TWRP-2.8.7.0-LL51-CN, but when I flash the GAPPS for 5.1.x and hit reboot, the phone doesn't boot anymore and I have to reinstall the stock ROM...
any clue?
thanks

Its a kernel problem i think,i had same issue so i flashed older version of unikernel phone bootup fully but touch not working,im too looking for solution,cannot even downgrade cause of protected bootloader.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 China edition without google in it and also play store. How can I get Google in it and use play store and other Google apps.
Thanks in advance.
Install custom recovery. Twrp using odin. Now flash opengapps.
Thanks.
It's j7008 which doesn't have twrp
This post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67988342&postcount=103 confirms that J700P sprint qualcomm chipset is the same as J7008 so the twrp version should work as well.

I dont understand. When you flashed twrp with odin , did it say PASS or FAIL ?
It passes but when it tries to turn on it crashes on boot image.
flash stock recovery to get it to boot up again. use AP slot in odin.

Have you tried the GMS Core apk?
About one year ago, I found a GMS Core available on Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B64ADSfC5LHbMHdlZ2ZONVhXVWM
But I am not sure that it is still available there and whether it will work for you.
Just for your reference.

It seems that you've tried a lot of things.
I assume you have successfully rooted the phone?
Which other versions of software are you speaking of? Custom ROMs or just apps that would take the place of Google Play?
Have you tried flashing MindTheGapps instead?
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/8358p0
Otherwise unless you absolutely have to use stock ROM on the phone I would recommend LineageOS. I installed this on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (not china version) myself a while ago and it works great.
Make sure you do a full backup of your phone in TWRP before you flash if you want to try this!
Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE Duos (China) (G9006W/8W) (kltechnduo) - LineageOS ROMs
LineageOs ROM Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (China) (SM-G9006W, SM-G9008W, SM-G9009W) kltechnduo Official roms Download last nightly build (2022-12-23) (mirror EU).LineageOS 18.1 – [ Android 11.0 (Red Velvet Cake) ] [Recovery file (2022-12-23) (mirror EU)] Previous version (nightly) (2021-03-27)...
lineageosroms.com
For rooting LineageOS 18.1 you need Magisk
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk
This is how I did it:
FLASHING LineageOS 18.1 IN TWRP RECOVERY
Firstly Format Data (instead of a simple Wipe Data)
Then do an Advanced Wipe of Cache, Dalvik+Art Cache & System
** THIS STEP WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE OF ALL DATA **
Then flash LineageOS and MindTheGapps one after the other, in that order & in one go without restarting the phone!
Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.
FLASHING Magisk 23.0 IN TWRP RECOVERY
Download Magisk23.0.apk from official Magisk website and rename it to Magisk.zip.
Flash the Magisk.zip file.
Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.
On first boot after installing Magisk phone reboots on boot animation once.
Once phone is booted, start the Magisk app and allow it to install the full app.
I LEAVE NO GUARANTEES this will work for you so it's on your OWN responsibility if you choose to try it. I can only say it worked for me.
