@Robert Steed. thx for sharing.
@Robert Steed. thx for sharing.
As one of the previous threads in this section mentioned the same (that On5 Pro firmwares work on non-Pro On5 models also), I can confirm that it works on Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550FY (2015 non-Pro) model. The downloaded firmware was a latest On5-Pro Nougat version that I could find on https://updato.com but works with old non-Pro On5 model as well.
This post is "only" meant to chalk out the complete process.
Detailed instructions for people who've not rooted their Samsung devices before:
Steps to replicate the process:
Preparation for rooting first:
Make sure your phone battery is charged to 70% or more
Backup your device data
Make sure you install Samsung's Android USB Driver for Windows on your PC, if you havenât already. >> Official link
Download the latest .tar image of TWRP for Galaxy On5 (it is compatible) >> Official link
Download and Unzip the latest version of Odin version >> Official link
Download the latest Super SU >> Official link
Now follow the instructions:
First you should enabled Developer options. If Developers Option is hidden, go to Settings > About Phone > Built Number (tap on it for 5-8 times)
Enabled USB Debugging and OEM unlock.
Install Android USB Drivers on your PC.
Connect the phone to you PC using the USB cable and copy the SuperSU.zip file into any directory of your internal storage.
Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Boot the device into Download Mode as follows: press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together.
When a warning triangle appears on screen, press Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.
Launch Odin.exe by click right and run as administrator on computer.
Connect your phone to the computer. Odin will automatically detect your phone and show the âadded" message.
In Odin, tap AP button and find the TWRP Recovery file you downloaded earlier and select it.
Uncheck Auto-reboot in the options tab in Odin
Click Start in Odin.
Once the root installation is done, your phone will reboot and soon a PASS message with a green background appears in the left-most box at the very top of Odin.
Remove the battery and then re-insert it again.
Boot into ârecovery modeâ, by pressing and hold Volume Up + Home +Power buttons simultaneously
In the TWRP mode Swipe to Allow Modification
Tap âInstallâ
Select Storage and scroll to location of SuperSU.zip file.
Select the .zip file and swipe the bar to confirm. This will start flashing the .zip file.
Once the flashing finished you will see the âReboot Systemâ option, click it to reboot your device.
After reboot, if the SuperSU App exist on your Application Menu on your smartphone it means youâve successfully rooted your device.
Can take further help from here (works for this On5 model as well) >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...nt/updated-root-instructions-samsung-t3747435
After rooting:
You can remove the bloatware first using any "root uninstaller" app from the Play Store. Be careful as to not uninstall any vital system apps.
Now go to >> https://updato.com and download the latest On5 SM-G550FY firmware (>1GB) by searching "On5" and sorting firmwares by date and selecting the region (for my model make the region was India (INS) >> You can use this Working link directly, as well
The above version is an On5 Pro Nougat version but works in old On5 models as well.
Final Steps:
Now again launch Odin.exe by click right and run as administrator on computer.
Connect your phone to the computer. Odin will automatically detect your phone and show the âadded" message.
In Odin, tap AP button and find the firmware file you downloaded earlier and select it. You might need to first extract the firmware file.
Click Start in Odin.
The phone will reboot and you'll have updated your Lollipop/Marshmallow device to Nougat.
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL]
HOW TO INSTALL
LINEAGEOS 16 BETA 6 NO GAPPS
ON HUAWEI DEVICES
17th December 2020â
Authored by: RK aka Klorofill_YUM aka Purrrturbed
Tested on the following devices:
Mate 10 Lite (Kirin 659 SoC)
SPECIAL NOTE #1: To unlock the bootloader the device must be on a firmware earlier than Android 8, thus Android 7, or Android 6, Android 5 will be fine, if using the DC-Unlocker method.
Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018. Make sure device is supported by DC-Unlocker, check here (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones)
SPECIAL CREDIT TO USER "Chaosdave34" *see comments: Unlocking the bootloader is possible on Android 8 using the PotatoNV method.
SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader. Additionally, the device must be a supported device - please check OpenKirinâs devices list. All of this considered: in order to satisfy these 2 special requirements this may result in the need for both downgrading and upgrading firmware throughout the following steps. Also, keep in mind: TWRP and other custom recoveries are not supported! Please ensure that the deviceâs stock recovery installed. Please do not use TWRP or any custom recovery, the following install method will work perfectly fine with only the stock recovery installed. Make sure device is supported by OpenKirin, check here (See link: 4.https://openkirin.net/devices/)
SPECIAL NOTE #3: It is required that the device being used in is supported by both DC-Unlocker and OpenKirin, if the device does not satisfy both of those requirements, this tutorial is not for that devices. Many files that are mentioned throughout this tutorial are included in the 'Packed by RK' folder. The method is this tutorial is not officially supported by OpenKirin. The Author has no affiliation with OpenKirin or DC-Unlocker. Try at your own risk, the author does not take responsibility for bricked devices.
On the Android device: Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" & "USB Debugging" options, they are turned on from developer options.
On the PC: Install HiSuite onto a PC via plugging in the Huawei phone to a PC - This will install all of the required drivers
Backup any device data to be kept. Installing an OpenKirin ROM for the first time requires a factory reset!
On the PC: Install ADB & Fastboot using 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979) Downloads: Version 1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037)
On the PC: Install process for adb: Run program (Require administrator privileges), then Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot or N/No to skip, then Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide or N/No for current user only, then Press Y/Yes to install Drivers or N/No to skip, and finally Continue Driver installation and 15 seconds passed - finished!
Notes about adb installation: System-wide: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %SystemDrive%\adb directory, and added system-wide path. And, current user only: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %UserProfile%\adb directory, and added path for current user. CMD can use ADB and Fastboot from any directory. Drivers are installed to system - no need to install them from directories.
Now that adb is installed, to continue, the Huawei device must have its bootloader unlocked. Do not skip this step. Do not attempt to load LineageOS ROM unless the bootloader is unlocked. In the follow steps, instructions will be provided for unlocking the bootloader. Please follow the next steps carefully
SPECIAL WARNING: If the device runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch then this DC-unlock service won't work! (See âSpecial Note #1â mentioned earlier) - It is important downgrade and restore an earlier firmware if the device is on Android 8.
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click Restore
On the PC: Download and then install DC-Unlock from the homepage: (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/), or install DC-Unlock from the Packed by RK folder (See filename: dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1431.zip)
On the Android device: Connect phone to PC via USB. Then, enable "manufacturer mode" on the phone. This is done by entering the following code into the dial pad: code *#*#2846579#*#* (SPECIAL NOTE #4: On tablets without dial pad use in-built calculator in landscape mode to dial ()()2846579()()= )
On the Android device: Now, Select "Project Menu" > "Background settings" > "USB ports settings" > "Manufacture mode".
On the PC: Launch DC-unlocker software
On the PC: Detect device by selecting Huawei phones from the manufacturers drop down menu list, "Select model" leave on Auto detect (recommended), then read the info on software for how to correctly prepare phone for detection. After phone is prepared, connected to PC and it's drivers installed, click magnifying glass button. Now, wait till program detects it
On the PC: The information the software will display now will look like something more or less similar to the example below:
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Selected Applications port COM6
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Serial NR. : 2VN5T17A29000000
Firmware : System 5.1.0.98(08SN)
On the PC: Open Server tab, enter your username and password that you received after credits purchase. To purchase credits, this is can be done via paypal. (Buy credits here, see link: www.dc-unlocker.com/buy). Now, click "Check login" button.
SPECIAL NOTE #5: Unfortunately there is no way to do this that doesn't require paying a company - this is not a shameless plug for DC-Unlocker. The author of this tutorial does not work for nor is paid buy DC-Unlocker. The unfortunate reality is that at the moment, this paid service is the easiest and fastest method that works for unlocking the bootloader. This does not require opening the device and using the testpoint. That being said, in the opinion off the author, this DC-Unlocker service is well worth the price. For more information on getting credit, username, and password with DC-Unlocker check this source. (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-get-username-password) If a username and password exists, and this method is familiar, then just add credits to the existing account and login to DC-Unlocker program clicking the "Check login" button.
On the PC: Open Unlocking tab, click âREAD BOOTLOADER CODEâ button. Then, wait for code to be provided. Now there is a bootloader code. This is needed for unlocking the bootloader. Save the bootloader code, this is the UNLOCK KEY.
On the Android device: Return the phone now to its original mode by exiting manufacturing mode, otherwise it might not function properly.
On the Android device: Please double check that USB debugging is enabled. Then, plug the phone into the PC.
On the Android device: A popup will appear on the phone screen asking whether to allow the PC to access the phone. Authorize the request.
On the PC: Open ADB by going to the directory where adb was installed and saved and open CMD/Terminal (Shift+Right-click > open Power Shell or Command Line).
On the PC: In the command line: type the following command, only use what is written between the " " : "adb devices"
Your devices should be listed in the adb window, if it isn't, either you didnt install the adb driver properly, or your usb port has problem
On the PC: In the command line: the following code will reboot the phone to fastboot mode, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
SPECIAL NOTE #6: There is another method to enter fastboot mode manually: Follow the next steps:
On the PC: Keep ADB command prompt open
On the Android device: disconnect it from the PC, unplug the USB, Shut down the phone, Press and hold Volume Down button and then connect the USB cable to your phone. Phone should now be in fastboot mode.
On the PC: Once the phone is booted up to the fastboot mode screen, using the adb command line, now type the following command: "fastboot oem unlock [your UNLOCK KEY here]" - Enter this command without the brackets, for example like: fastboot oem unlock 12345678901234
On the Android device: Confirmation dialog should appear on the phone screen, and give warning about unlocking the bootloader. Follow the instructions on screen, select Yes to unlock. The device will now unlock, please be aware all data on the phone will be wiped with a factory reset. Once the unlocking process is finished, the phone will boot up to the initial set up. At the start of every bootup, a warning screen mentioning unlocked bootloader will be displayed.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup. Set everything up through the initial setup, this doesnât have to be a complete thorough set up. It is recommended to skip all the account settings, security settings, and other settings because later steps in this tutorial will require yet another factory reset again.
On the Android device: Please update to Android 8 now. It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin - If the phone was downgraded in order to unlock the bootloader, the phone must now be upgraded via OTA in the phone's settings menu. Please update to Android 8 now - Other versions are not supported and will likely brick the device.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup again. Once finished with the initial setup, go to phone settings and re-enable USB Debugging option in developer options
With both the Android device and PC: Plug the phone into the computer via USB, and from your adb command line, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
On the PC: Go to the OpenKirin Downloads page and download the ROM to install. OpenKirin downloads can be found here: (see link: https://openkirin.net/download/) or alternatively, find LineageOS 16 Build 6 included in the 'Packed by RK' folder.
On the PC: If the ROM downloaded is compressed (file ends with extension .xz), extract the ROM .img file from the compressed file. On Windows PC: either WinRAR or 7-Zip can be used to extract the file.
On the PC: Once .img file is uncompressed , place the .img file in the same folder as the installed adb fastboot (credit: OpenKirin)
On the Android device: Power off the device. Then enter fastboot mode. (See step 20 and special note #6 which mentions how to enter fastboot mode earlier in this tutorial)
SPECIAL NOTE #7: The fastboot mode screen must show âPHONE Unlockedâ and âFRP Unlockâ - Do not continue if that is not shown.
With both the Android device and PC: Once on the fastboot screen, keep the device connected to your PC
On the PC: Open a command line terminal in the same directory as adb fastboot and the copied the ROM .img file. Then, in the command window, enter the following command: âfastboot flash system <name-of-rom-image-file>.â Press enter, and see the ROM flashed.
On the PC: Once itâs completed, type the following command: âfastboot rebootâ
On the Android device: Unplug the phone now - The phone may reboot quickly and launch right into the new software ROM, but it is absolutely needed to turn off the device. Turn off the the device.
Before booting up and using the ROM, it is needed to perform a factory reset in the stock recovery. Do not continue without performing a factory reset.
On the Android device: Now that the device is off, to boot into recovery, hold down Power + VolUp at the same time, and keep them held until the Huawei/Honor logo appears on your screen. If done correctly, the recovery menu will be on screen.
On the Android device: In the recovery menu, press the âWipe data/factory resetâ button.
Reboot the device and begin enjoying the ROM!

Do you have tutorial to run xposed or Edxposed?
Hello Readers!
I hope you all are well, I finally got my hands on a Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 for testing.
I have to say I have to regretfully inform that I have come accross an unexpected roadblock.
I can say as of now, the method described in this tutorial does not work for the Mate 10 or the P8 Lite 2017.
I got stuck at step 8:
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click RestoreâWhen I connected both of these phone models to HiSuite I discovered it was impossible for me to roll back and downgrade the phones. The Mate 10 on the latest EMUI 10 would only roll back to Android 9.0. The P8 Lite 2017 would only roll back to and early Android 8.0 and it would fail to download Android 7, every time i tried to load, with a warning message stating the install fails due to lack space.
I can use your help: if you can verify my findings on your end by replicating the steps that i wrote in my tutorial, that can help me prove for certian these steps do not work for the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017. All of the steps worked perfectly fine for my Mate 10 Lite but, as it seems now, it is impossible for me to downgrade the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 to Android 7 at this time, therefore the DC-Unlocker bootloader unlocking cannot be performed.

1. If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version", "Earlier version"...), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and REGION (Cxxx)! This process will erase all your data! You can also try chinese HiSuite (with an .exe extension instead of _OVE).
2. You should be able to use DCUnlocker (hcu-client) on Oreo, but you may need to downgrade first ( to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method , using Service ROM downloaded on androidhost.ru .
I have an unlocked Bootloader but Android 8 with newest Security Patch, does the Rom also work or need I downgrade to Oreo with security patch from Juli

Hello, please do kindly share how you were able to unlock the bootloader whilst still on Android 8.
With this tool https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV.
I'm asking because I tried to install twrp recovery, but it hangs on startup and I don't want to brick my device.
I have now downgraded my RNE-L21 to Security Patch Juli 2018. The bootloader is unlocked and stock recovery is flashed. Is it now possible to install Custom Rom?

I have now downgraded my RNE-L21 to Security Patch Juli 2018. The bootloader is unlocked and stock recovery is flashed. Is it now possible to install Custom Rom?

Alf is a good editor! He spotted my error.
Yes if you have bootloader unlocker, stock recovery , and android 8, your device fits all of thr requirements to install LineageOS.
See: "It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin"
And see: SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader.

Would assume it not possible because "Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018."

Congrats, this serves as a testimonial that loading LineageOS 16 works, and that this tutorial is a sufficient guide.
Today I've rebooted my phone and after entering my unlockcode the screen went black and I'm back at login. Here is the logcat (I did it 3x to reproduce the Error):

Did you get it to work. I have a Mate 10 lite with android 8 and emui 8.0 with August 1 security patch. Thinking of trying potatoNV and custom rom. But I won't risk briking my phone cz i have no replacement. Can you provide with the details you weny through? And i see that when u flashes twrp u got stuck. Then how did you manage to get the custom RoM running without twrp. And how did you get it to work after getting stuck.
