Recently i bought a Samsung Galaxy J500F on a very popular auction site and when it arrived it seemed all well & good ...all worked great and was in English etc.. but i tried to flash a custom rom onto it via TWRP but it didnt acceot the ROM, failed almost instantly so went to apply my restore and that failed after about 50% so just went ahead and did a factory restore but now the phone starts up with LTE Lite logo, goes to the Samsung boot logo and everything is in Chinese...i managed to change the language back to English but the phone is stuck on OS 5.1 and will not update and i cannot instal Play Store, that just opens then shuts instantly..
My question is does anybody know how i can flash this phone with another ROM and what firmware i would need etc.. i have tried very_simply rom, revolution remix & a couple of what i thought were stock roms but they all fail when trying to instal via TWRP
any help with would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much

I have a similar problem install CWM and make a backup, install CyanogenMod uns as not connected to the network restore the backup, now does not start and not let me get into Recovery, only stays on the screen for samsung mobile, please help.
There isn't cyanogen for the indulge, best I've found for this device is was a custom rom and kernel made by Konane posted on android forums all things root subsection for the indulge. Seems dev is dead for the device tho as it was posted last year and no new updates to it which are needed because it seems metro found a way to void some of the great improvements made.

Sorry for being a complete and utter noob (read: idiot) and for maybe making a duplicate thread - I tried to find a similar thread but couldn't.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE, that I bought maybe two months ago. I had big troubles to root it and finally succeeded with KingRoot 4.0, a nifty Chinese app. What I actually wanted to do is get the OTG to work, however as it didn't my quest continued. Today I flashed Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on my phone and it's not bricked, it works, but it's unrooted so I cannot even use the apps that would make the OTG work if I find the right kernel and/or cable, whichever is the problem. No one-click-rooting apps worked except for KingRoot and now that's not working either.
Is there any way to restore the original, factory stock rom on my phone..?
????
Please can u give me the name of the app that make your device to enable otg?
name or link please
just get the old firmware 4.4.4 from sammobile and flash the rom with odin then when when the phone boots it will be stuck in boot loop all you have to do is boot into recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot and give it two mins to boot up
hello,
were you able to downgrade g360f to 4.4.4?
thanks
So not being very experienced at Rooting/Flashing Roms this may come across strange.
Here is a little background to my problem.
I had a rooted Note 3 running KitKat before I decided to flash to Lolipop. I downloaded the Vodafone (UK) variant of the ROM from Sammobile not thinking anything of it at the time (As I am on Vodafone) I went through the usual procedure of going into download mode running Odin as admin and then connecting my phone, adding the Rom files to Odin and then Flashing. Flashing started fine as it got towards the end it Failed on Hidden(Something).
I panicked didn't know what to do so I unplugged my device and tried to reboot. It didn't. It said something along of the lines as there is a firmware error and got stuck on that screen. Panicked some more, decided I would try to google a fix. Came across one which required me to flash CWM Recovery onto my phone. I thought I would try it, Once it flashed which went fine I was told too try and boot straight into recovery mode once the phone starts and reboot through there. I took out my battery put it back in and then went ahead and tried to boot into recovery which worked. Once on CWM I went to reboot the phone As I hit yes too reboot It took me to another screen where it said I wasn't rooted and if I would like to reroot. I decided to click NO and restart the phone. It got stuck on a boot loop, I did a factory reset and cache wipe and it booted into life. (And working fine so far)
So here is where the problem is.
I am looking to get root back to the device. I think I have a locked boot loader as I installed the Vodafone variant of the 5.0 Rom. Would I be able to Flash the BTU Rom onto my device without bricking it, and after that would I be able to root Via CFAutoRoot which seems to be the easiest way to so. Or could I flash with CFAutoRoot Straight onto this ROM.
Info:
BTU ROM:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-07-01 United Kingdom 5.0 N9005XXUGBOF1 N9005BTUGBOD2
ROM I INSTALLED:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-06-01 United Kingdom (Vodafone) 5.0 N9005XXUGBOD6 N9005VFGGBOD2
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey Guys,
So i have a big problem with my International Galaxy S6 Flat. I tried to update from a custom rom to a stock android 6.0 rom and i failed, so i got stuck in a bootloop. I used a custom rom again so i can get out of the bootloop, but when i tried to set the options in the android installation menu i discovered that my x axis got inverted. So whenever i try to press D i get a K.
I even tried to use the *#2663# code which i read on this forum. but this doesn't work, it doesnt show me the menu to download the firmware. is there another way to download that firmware ?
I flashed new kernels,bootloaders, everything. But i just can't fix it. I'm so desperately atm. I hope you can help me.
Thanks.
Anyway. Flash official ROM from Sammobile and you will be fine.
I am asking for help if anybody here can spare the time. I had my J700P Virgin Mobile rooted and xpose installed. I had notification that I had missed at least one update and wanted to go back to original firmware. I flashed back to original version of firmware no problem and the phone took the update. After the update I was unable to get wifi working again so I tried to reflash the original firmware. Phone flashed fine but when trying to reboot the phone is stuck in bootloop. I have reflashed the original firmware and the new updated firmware several times, tried to restore 3 TWRP backups, everything I can think of and all bootloop. I get the bootup screen - galaxy J7 then it goes to the samsung screen then to the Virgin Mobile screen then loops over and over. Every so many loops it goes to android starting up screen optimizing various numbers of apks, usually 1 of 1. I can do pretty much anything needed, use odin, access adb ect. Any other info needed please let me know. I am at the end of my knowledge on what to do-----HELP!!!!!!! Thanks.
