[ROM][SM-G550T1] Galaxy On5 MetroPCS Stock ROM [BL,AP,CP,CSC] - Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion

I know people have struggled to track this ROM down so here you all go. Separate files all Odin-flashable. The AP is zipped because it halves the size. Just unzip and good to go.

All at once, but apparently you cannot downgrade. I spent hours trying to flash PF1 from multiple sources and always failed on flashing boot but then I tried flashing PL1 for the heck of it and it worked like a charm the first time.

How do you flash them all at once? Do you use Odin 3.12.3? Is there a certain order that the files should be in? Thank you.

All at once. Just look at the filenames and load each in the appropriate slot.
Example:-
AP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 *.zip goes in AP slot
BL_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes go in BL slot
CP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes in CP slot
CSC_TMK_G550T1TMK1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar.md5 goes in CSC slot

Thank you, I did it and it worked!

The only thing you are doing wrong is skipping over the posts that explain you cannot downgrade to APF1, it will not physically let you. Other than that you are doing everything right.

Fail sboot.bin
I put files in order but when start, odin show me a fail in sboot.bin. I had downloaded 4 differen roms but always is the same fail. Please help me. Thanks

Look at the firmware you are trying to flash. It ends with PF1....the firmware that succeeds it is PL1 and after that in not sure. Once you update from PF1 to another firmware you can never downgrade back to PF1, but you can downgrade from other more recent firmwares to PL1, why I am not sure.

can anyone help me plz i need an imei certificate for the smg550t1 / on5 metro pcs or a back up of any on5 efs

Ah, ok seems simple enough. Would you still happen to have your PL1 files that you can upload?

No that was a long time ago....may I ask why you want to flash old firmware? It will prompt you to update to the newest anyways as soon as you boot up the phone so it seems counter productive...

As above (and FYI), my SM-G550T1 current build is MMB29K.G550T1UVU2AQC4. I'm just a novice and rooting/unlocking/flashing my first android. Do I need a copy of the stock ROM or will my Nandroid backup suffice? If so, I understand that the PL1 version is ok for my to use if need be. I guess the PL1 version is here on this site somewhere or I can Google it?
Thanks for all your attentiveness and insight....I would have been right among those flashing myself into a veritable slap-happy dither had I not benefited from the prior posts.

I think I goofed! help please

ok so I was getting very short on available space so i went in and started deleting things (my fault I know). I have been on 4.2.2 so all my files were in "0". I figured since they were all in that file and I had everything doubled in that file, i started deleting everything in my other file and just kept everything that was in "0". Went to flash a new Rom and all my files were now gone. I deleted all my backups in that file also (I'm kicking myself right now).
So now I'm stuck in Recovery with nothing i can do. What can I do now??
Maybe try to odin
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
OK, so I flashed the unroot files through Odin. Went through successfully, but now I'm stuck on the stock splash screen. Any ideas? some reason when i try to get into recovery, it just vibrates.
Give me the link to the odin file you flashed. I'm curious why it was an unroot flash. When you boot into recovery, You can copy a new ROM file into your sdcard and flash a new ROM via ADB.
I'm starting to freak out a little bit here. I'm in odin trying to flash it back to stock and I'm not having any luck here. Someone got some time to help?
I can now flash into recovery but my up and down buttons dont work, so the only option I have at that point is to reboot, which then send me into the splash.

Hi,
Have you ever stuck in a cwm bootloop(reboot to clockworkmod again and again) or stuck at the boot screen in your GT-S7500?
I will show you how to fix it. (ONLY GT-S7500 NO OTHER VARIANTS !)
There is only one way to fix it:reinstall your stock firmware.
First,download needed files here:1)The firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and type in the Search option "GT-S7500" and choose your country
And if you want another firmware to another country search by google or www.samsung-updates.com This site is better due the shutdoen of hotfile,samsung-updates uploaded firmware to mirrors
2)odin3 v1.85
Extract files.
Now turn off you phone and go to download mode by pressing volume down+home+power
Connect your phone to your computer and open odin3.Wait until ID:COM turn yellow.
"Auto reboot" and "F.reset time" must be checked and "Re-partion" must be UNCHECKED.
Now press PDA in odin and choose the firmware that you have downloaded(the stock firmware must be a .tar or .md5 file) and press START.
Wait 4 to 5 minute to finish the process.And when it is finished you will see "PASS" in odin.
Now your phone will reboot.Wait until your phone finish rebooting and unplug your ace +
Thats it!your phone will turn on again now! Press thanks if i helped you.
Enjoy!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

its pretty obvious that if your phone doesn't boot you have to flash stock
or even restore a backup....that is easier
Is it zip file or tar file to put in odin? Because i downloaded the firmware and it's zip file. Can you help me?

Yes jsut unzip the file that you have downloaded and you will get 2 files:
1)the firmware .tar.md5
2)A dll file
The .tar.md5 file is the firmware to put on odin
Thank you for your help!!! :good::good:
First off: This is my very first try.
Not sure if I did something wrong or I'm just too stupid to follow the instructions..
So, I visited that firmware-site, downloaded the german firmware and Odin.
turned my phone on via download mode and connected my phone to my laptop and started Odin.
no problems so far until Odin is running.. the ID:COM-thingy doesn't show anything up at all so I thought I might just click on "Start" anyway

Thats not a big problem:
Try these tow things:
1)Try with a different version of odin (like 3.04/1.87 ...)
2)If it didn't work you have to install samsung drivers or install kies
Ok, the ID:COM thingy is fixed now, thanks a lot!
Kies is updated to the latest version, it says FAIL! in Odin now, though.
Any way to fix that? I guess followed your steps corretly.. turned my phone on in download mode, pressed vol+, connected it to the cable.

Has anyone figured out how to repair this error yet??? i've spent 4 days reading forums and google and whatnot and still i cant get this problem fixed. either solutions are for i9000 and not for infuse so procedures and roms are different. those who have infuse have not solved this error so i have no steps to follow. i've flashed like 7 different roms (some stock some modded) and nothing! i'm at my wits end i've been on and off on fixing this phone since 2013..... and anyone help me figure this out?? i'll answer all questions asap!

What's the consequence of this error? What are you doing when this error comes up? Any other messages?
I remember this one popping up before while flashing and it not meaning anything. Everything flashed fine. Mind you, this may have been with my primary phone, I cannot remember.
This Infuse thread may be of some help (or not, let me know):

Consequence of the error is odd... I plugged my phone one night and left it charging in the morning the phone was off... When I wanted to turn it back on I got this error. This is not the only error.... I get another one E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD

Sounds like a hardware error. Are you able to go into download mode? How about recovery? Do you have CWM, TWRP, or stock recovery? If you have the first two are you able to make and restore backups, and otherwise access the SD cards?
Finally, are you running stock, or a custom ROM? I see you mentioned earlier that you switched ROM's so even if it's happening with stock, then it's becoming less of a software issue in my thoughts. But if you have full access in recovery, then that would squash those thoughts. At that point, I would try to find a working ROM.

Yes I can go into Download mode and I'm able to flash successfully it just won't reboot afterwards.... It gives me the errors. The only recovery I can go into is the stock Android blue text menu. My phone is rooted and before this error I had cwm... After the error and trying to flash and recover I can't access cwm. I've tried gtgs unbrick stock rom, entopy's kernel, a couple of modded roms like aeon or legend and nothing I get the same results... Same error. But all flash successfully. Right now I'm in stock GB rom

If you don't have ClockWorkMod I am assuming you are flashing all your ROMs through download mode. I thought that only stock ROMs were available for that. I learn something new everyday.
Anyways, it may be that Download mode is silently getting the write error when it comes to that partition. Did you try putting CWM back on?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
I am really curious if you can access your (internal) SD card outside the boot process. If the partition table is shot, there is a process that repartitions everything, which in theory gets everything back to normal. It involved Odin, but I forget what the file was called. Pretty sure it was CWM itself, but I'm not sure (first reboot after installed whatever through Odin, I remember a voice alerting me to please wait while partitions are updated - about 5 minutes). I will have to look it up when I get home.

That's what it's looking like. Your cache partition looks fine, so must be your root partition (or whatever holds kernel and core bootstrap). If it was a desktop computer I would say either the partition table is bunged up or the tail end of the hard drive is inaccessible. I am stumped on how to get to the former. I will look at home for the Odin CWM file I had so you don't have to flash a whole ROM. It may just sit still forever like the CWM install you have (or it may not work at all because mine may be designed for i997R - Rogers kernel), but it's worth a try, since it's the only thing I can think of.

Try the Infused Gingerbread kernel one, after putting an AT&T stock rom back on. Guess I should have been more specific, if you were to try the Rogers route. Think it will have the same issue, but the above file is the one I used for CWM.

a bit late on the reply but you might want to use the unbrick / Return to stock method in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260. I had this issue too trying to install new rom. This should at least get you passed the error onto working phone if it's not hardware malfunction. From there you can install cwm and do whatever. Hope this help.

normal Heimdall is confusing but the one click isn't confusing if you read what's on the OP but that sad this is that it doesn't have root :/ and what i have noticed is when odin doesn't want to recognize your phone heimdall will....and just to get root and recovery i flashed twice with heimdall second time for the boot loaders...then i flashed through odin for the root with recovery version

I remember fixing this problem by flashing (Odin) a "dbdata.rfs.tar" file from one of these forums. It was long ago so I don't quite remember where it was and what exactly my steps were. As far as my memory goes, I flashed I997UCLB3 via odin and then flashed "dbdata.rfs.tar". That fixed this problem. I will attach the "dbdata.rfs.tar" file on this post, hope you find a solutions :S. Sorry if you have already tried it >.<

Stuck at: "an error has occured while updating the device software..."

Hi guys,
I have an S7 - SM-G930F. I tried rooting it, which caused this issue at first. I then tried various stock roms from samsung-firmware to sammobile (Vodafone the Netherlands)... in the end I found one from here, I tried it, only noticing I had the re-partition box checked.
Now my phone is stuck at this blue screen that says: "An error has occured..." - and I can't get into download mode anymore.
I'm scared I screwed this up. Is there still anything I can do?
Even tried with Smart switch and Kies, both give an error after filling in my model name... - "Unsupported device"
Please help..

Hi mate
First calm down , you will fix it
What firmware you had before rooting, Marsmellow , Nougat?
Why you had re partition on? when you had re partition you where using CSC file also?
how did you root?
In this cases the download issue may be caused by the bootloop itself , it becomes a timing issue....try several times and you will get into it eventually.
If you do re flash stock rom again

Thank you for your kindness.
I'm not sure to be honest. I updated it to the max, then I tried rooting it.
I think it got turned on, because this guide told me to add an PIT file.
However, I have managed to get back into download mode. I tried rooting by flashing.
What is the best thing u advice me to do from here?

Hi
good you can get into download that is very good
When you say flashing root you mean by Odin or by recovery?
I would flash a stock rom again using CSC file and re- partition again...just to make sure the partition are the correct ones

Download the correct firmware and follow the instruction.......

Why have you ticked re-partition?
Leave ODIN at default settings and only use BL, AP, CP and CSC
If that still fails, try missing out BL and just use the other 3

Now I thought'd be a good idea, to delete the bad files of fail every time.
When I do the AP-CP and CSC it still gives me the "FAIL!" with everything checked on.
I have no image on the phone, so I can't even boot it up anymore.
I did check however "OEM unlocked"... when I do the TWRP, I can boot into recovery.
But no stock roms work. I tried it from samsung-mobile and one from sammobile.
Now I am downloading another stock rom to try...
Also I don't use pit file when doing this. Should I?
What can I do?
http://prntscr.com/en4jag
I have tried 3 different stock roms, and all fail on 1/5th. Even without the BL inserted in. Also tried only doing AP...
Tried doing AP/CP/CSC in Odin v3.10
Then it goes to 2/5 and fails.

Hi
Re partition is an option under some specific cases ( read here)
Try in a different PC / USB cable
Try a different Odin version
Go into recovery wipe dalvik/ cache and do a factory reset, flash again

You need ODIN 3.12.3 minimum for this to work

This has resolved my issue:

- Deleted Kies/Smart Switch
- Took another cable
- Tried the Odin 3.12.3
- Deleted dalvik/cache and factory reset
Works! Love you all. Tried over 8 hours. The solution is not always complicated...

Needless to say, I went on a Googling spree to try to fix this problem with no avail.
It apparently has something to do with my Laptop not being able to communicate with my phone, so I tried utilizing every other port it had, didn't work.
Then tried with different cables, even bought new ones, also didn't work. Utilized all sorts of different versions of Odin3 in Administrator Mode, such as v3.13.1, v3.13.1_3B, v3.13.3 and PrinceComsy, no dice.
And yes, I have the Samsung ADB Drivers installed, SmartSwitch uninstalled and USB Debugging on.
The OS my phone is currently running is the Android 9.0 Beta (G955USQU5DRL5) that leaked back in December and I installed doing this tutorial: https://bit.ly/2T7LhD0
I've tried all sorts of other methods such as https://bit.ly/2H7V7jY, but they didn't work. Heck, I've even tried downgrading the OS to G950USQS5CRK1 and G955USQS5CRL1 but again, same error, so at least I don't think its because of the firmware.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I've been trying for the past 3 days to flash the latest version of Android 9.0 on my S8+ (SM-G955U) from Verizon, since updates for it have never come.
The baseband of the firmware I've been trying to flash on my S8+ through Odin is G955USQU5DSD3, but it keeps giving me this error:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

Not sure I can help since you have done most of the of what I was going to suggest
Has odin worked before on your PC?
Try installing latest Samsung USB drivers on your PC ( not ADB drivers)
Try a different PC
I know you said you have tried everything but in the link you posted the technique seemed a littled different than what worked for me after about 4 days of trying everything.
I am trying to find the post that I got this from but there are so many to sort thru so I'm still looking. I'll try and give credit when i find it.
Make sure odin is closed and I just close everything honestly so i know there isnt any kind of interference.
So first step is reboot to download using the volume down, bixby button and power. Once there do not press any other buttons. Simply plug in your usb cord to the phone and set it down.
Next open odin as an administrator and load the firmware files to their slots.
Once that is finished and its not thinking anymore go ahead and push volume up.
Soon as you see "COM:XX" pop up hit start and cross your fingers. I bet I tried about 10 times before it finally worked. It would fail differently so I knew I was on the right track. My model is a SM-G955U but it would not accept that firmware. I ended getting the SM-G955U1 firmware that was from a month past the last firmware my phone had on it to work.
You may have tried all and like me thought it was a load of crap but it for real worked with a little perseverence, rode a unicorn to catch a leprachaun, under a falling store on my birthday while the birthday candle was still lit and it worked!!!
Good luck bro,

When I installed the Beta back in December, I did it on my old desktop PC. So technically no, Odin hasn't worked before on the Laptop I'm using right now, it's in fact the first time I try to use it there. Tried the Samsung USB drivers suggestion, looks like I already had those installed.
Using a different PC seems like the only thing left for me to try, which I unfortunately can't for a while, hence why I'm trying to find other solutions so desperately

Hey man thanks for the suggestion, been trying to do just as you say and honestly I'm not seeing any difference in the process, it's still giving me the same error just like it would if I had done it normally, no "failing differently" every attempt.
I'm guessing that each time it fails, you unplug and restart the phone as well as close Odin for another attempt?
i cant flash anything on drl4. tried everything also.

Yeah each time it failed I would hold the three button combo down until it rebooted to the download mode confirmation screen and then start the whole process over again. One thing I did forget to mention but I'm not sure if it played a part in finally being able to flash with odin is that i completely disabled my firewall so that all ports were wide open. I read somewhere about the firewall causing issues so eliminated it while I was trying to use odin.
I was messing around with the same phone some more since I posted and still had issues with odin so im not sure exactly what Im doing differently sometimes. Im ready to crash out now but I will try and take a screenshot of my drivers when I flash with odin again so you can compare it to yours.
Hope you get it figured out man. Frustrating as hell I know!!! I was ready to smash the thing into into a wall and count how many pixels there really are lol. Good luck bro!!
P.S. One last thing I completely spaced. Im on a laptop also. (Acer Nitro 5 with AMD....) I have a powered USB 3.0 hub running off a my USB 3.0 port and its only when I was plugged into the fast charging with a 3.0 cable that I finally got success. Everything Ive read says flashing thru a hub is a no no but IDGAF anymore and it worked. Try at your own risk but that does seem to be what affected my whole debauchle.
Oh my god it finally worked.
I tried doing what was in this link again: https://bit.ly/2H7B9FW , which I remember trying before and not working. In my desperation I attempted to do it again and the rest is history.
I had turned my Firewall off, in case that did anything. Good luck to anyone else having this problem!
So I just use my SS10 usb 3.1 ports for odin and that takes care of the problems with odin. not sure which odins im using. maybe prince cosmy. but changing usb ports have solved all my odin issues and flashes on the s8+. Im now operating on G955U1UES6DSI1, the latest firmware on the unlocked 955u1.
