Samsung J5 Pro

Hi need some advice, I’ve got a J5 pro, but it’s locked to Voda! Also has enterprise firmware on it as it’s a old work phone, would like to remove this and unlock it to all networks. Can anyone recommend any good rom (close to stock) and best way to remove operator lock?

Can you access developer's settings?
If so, you could unlock bootloader and then trying to install another official ROM by Odin.
Don't use Pie ROMS, you cannot then downgrade, and modding becomes harder.
From Oreo,with some add from Pie ROM (BL, CP images) you can then install Treble ROMS until Android 10.1
Please look at Corsicanu, Andy_Yan, ananjiaser, Hacker Treble & Spaget threads.

Greetings @jhavron. Very sorry for such a belated reply to your inquiry for info. I just ran across your post.
Like most AT&T, Verizon & TracFone (Straight Talk & Net10) branded Motorola devices, the XT2005DL is not supported by Motorola's bootloader unlocking protocol. As such, rooting, TWRP, Magisk, etc., are not possible. Anybody familiar with Motorola devices can confirm that devices with perma-locked bootloaders are as tough as Fort Knox when it comes to security -- especially Moto devices manufactured from 2015 to the present. For example, the Verizon Moto E (2nd Gen) LTE from 2015 cannot be bootloader unlocked. Now, over 5 years later, there is still no known method for the xt1528 device. Such is also the case with the XT2005DL: its locked down status will prevent any type of rooting methods or custom recovery flashes from working.
I wish my news could be more favorable.

Thanks for replying. I's good to know that someone reads the posts from the little guys. :good:

Ok well is it possible to flash stock firmware onto the moto e6 xt2005dl with a locked bootloader. I keep getting image primary_gpt failed validation. I thought stock firmware could be flashed onto any device with locked bootloader.

Again, sorry for such a belated reply. Yes, you are correct. Regardless of bootloader locked/unlocked state, you can flash your device with the official stock firmware package using fastboot mode, RSD-Lite, or the Lenovo-Moto Smart Rescue utility. There is but one rule of thumb to keep in mind: you can flash only a firmware package that is the same or a newer version than the version presently on your device. A locked bootloader will not allow you to downgrade firmware versions.
Official Motorola stock firmware packages for the XT2005DL (Codename: surfna) are available from this link. Again, it is recommended that you use the most recent build available, as downgrading firmware versions with a locked bootloader isn't permitted.

Is there any way to improve battery performance with out root? .. Battery drain too fast

I use Greenify and have had the Pro version for years.

Mine is pretty much new. I bought it for work usage (keeping work-related things off my personal devices), in part for when I'd be at our partner's site every one or two weeks. But not long afterwards the scamdemic hit and I wasn't going to their site anymore.
And then since it wasn't upgradable past Android 9, my company blocked any Android versions 9 & below for Google services. So now it's not usable for ANYTHING I needed it for. I'd donate it but I don't think any group could use it since it's locked to TracFone. And the parts (glass & daughterboard) can't be used for fixing my personal Moto e5. Such a waste that it can't be repurposed.

Sprint LG G7 flashed to G710ULM. Want to update. Need help

I got a Sprint LG G7 phone from the bay that has been unlocked and flashed to G710ULM Firmware running Android 8.
I want to update to Android 10 if possible. I've never 'hacked' into a phone but am very familiar w/ hacking gaming consoles and feel like I am in familiar territory. With that said, I've read many existing guides and tutorials but have some questions?
1) How do i create (or find) a backup to my current FW in case of errors, etc.
2) Will flashing a FW from another country (Korea, Canada, etc.) render the network services (w/ Sprint) I have useless? In fact, will updating ANY FW render my networking services useless?
3) Do I attempt to flash an updated FW of the original Sprint model (G710PM) or an updated version of the FW that is flashed on the device (G710ULM)
4) Do i need to do an intermediate step of flashing an Android 9 FW or can i go straight to Android 10.
I apologize if any of these questions are redundant to any currently existing guides or posts. I did my due diligence of looking everything up as best as possible before posting these questions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm newbie, but i try answer you in my understanding, and of course, i take no responsibility if something unfortunate happens :angel:
1/ i dont know any way to backup whole phone, but you can flash current FW (G710ULM) again via cross flash.
2/ i dont use Sprint, but my network service is work properly with Android 10 eu, canada and ulm (lasted is Pie), you can try...
3/ yes, via cross flash (update: there is no KDZ or Dump available. Probably in the future there will be dumps of 710PM but for now there is no).
4/ no, you can flash any version, any model (except tmobile) by cross flash way.

Hi. I know this is an old post, but does op still have Sprint firmware backed up?
If you do, I would love to get it from you. I can't seem to boot off other ULM firmware and I think I need an up-to-date Sprint backup abl, laf, boot, and possibly more. If you don't, have fun with your device and have a good day.

[Resolved] TMO OP7 Root not on International

Hey everyone, I've been trying to search for a solution to rooting my OP7 from T-Mobile and I think I have hit a dead end so I went ahead and created this post to ask for some advice.
So backstory: I have a business account with T-Mobile and they allow me to unlock my phone with little to no hassle at all, I unlocked my T-Mobile phone, and my OP7 got updated to Android 11 over night that I didn't realize it happened my current build is: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.GM31CB and my model is GM1915.
Okay so I am following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
I have followed through with Step 1, unlocking my OEM, and Step 2, unlocking my bootloader. So for step 3, the guide says to flash TWRP and from what I've read there is no TWRP that works for Android 11 right now so I am not sure if I can do that. Then step 4 is to flash Magisk after booting to recovery, but I am not sure if I can actually do that with TWRP?
So the question I got is how do I go about rooting my OP7? Can I root without TWRP? The guides video also said I needed a bin file of the current OS but there seems to be none available for GM31CB. Curious where I go from here. Can I roll back to Android 10? Do I need to switch over to the international version? and if I did would I be able to downgrade back to Android 10?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1: I just converted to the international version and will be rooting that way.

was just about to answer you...hope u got it working the international way...i have twrp working...u must flash a zip to decrypt your internal...search or hit me later...i can email it to you or something...and if possible...next time you update to A11 Tmobile can you save it?....can't find it anywhere online...

That guide is pretty outdated I feel like. If you have you phone unlocked through T-Mobile you can simply follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-twrp-root-and-update.3940368/#poststop
It's the one I followed to get my phone rooted + twrp installed.

I am in the same boat, T-mobile decided to push android 11 and rebooted. Android 11 is running fine with all my data intact but i have lost root and recovery. Trying to figure out easiest way to regain root, not worried about TWRP at the moment. Seems like patching the boot.img with magisk is the way to go but I cannot find a download from T-mobile for the full update to extract the payload.bin and boot.img. Is the payload.bin accessible using a file manager on the phone to copy to sdcard then transfer to PC? If not looks like waiting for some workaround or formatting data and starting from scratch
OOO just saw OPs edit, looks like i might be switching over to international firmware too and going that route. Did not plan on doing this today.

Moto one 5G Ace 2021 from Moto G7

I used a rooted Moto G7 on T-Mobil for quite a while. But it is now giving me some issues and I'm considering buying a 2021
Motorola One 5G Ace | 2021 from Amazon​For $299
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NWD7K8H/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I have a few questions.
1. Anyone using T-Mobil with this phone? Any problems? Special simcard for 5G or will my G7 simcard work?
2. Bugs or problems with the Motorola one 5G 128GB?
3. Does it come with android 10 or 11?
4. How easy to root?
Thank you.

1. Not on t-mobile.
2.I didn't find any bugs. I bought the retail us version.
3.It comes with 10. I am running 11 from Canada.
4. Root is easy, but not complete. You also need to get r/w access which is complicated but easy. Also any debloating requires the use of pm from an ADB shell or as a terminal command. There are good guides here on how to do all of this.
Custom ROMs are available, more on the Telegram channel.

Thank you Retief.
I went ahead and bought one and am setting it up.
One problem I'm facing is the touch screen is too sensitive. If I tap too forcefully near the top of a screen everything gets minimized (I forget the correct name for it). It's most annoying. Any ideas? Sensitivity controls?
Also, any way to get rid of the notch?
Thanks.

Mine is a usa T-mobile motorola moto one 5g ace, android 10, software variant t, model number xt2113-2, purchased April 20, 2022 from a T-mobile store. My old sim card would not fit. It's loaded with bloatware. I am also trying to root but its going to take some time to gather up all the correct programs and files so it doesn't brick. There's a Noob guide on this forum that offers great advice on how to root. I'll read it 5 more times before I do anything. If you do manage to root your phone please let us know how you did it.

I am rooted, r/w access obtained and debloated. I used the three guides on here.

That's terrific RETIEF.
Which 3 guides in here?
Did you hit any problems and if so how did you solve them?
Thanks.

The guides are in the guides section. The ones by Artcul8madness worked. Now that there is a working twrp, other methods are possible. You must unlock the bootloader first! I had no problems following the guides.

Thanks. Still a risky thing with bootloops, etc. I think I'll wait for the ota updates to Android 11 or 12.

I picked up one of these earlier this week (variant XT2113-2, 128GB just like yours) and am using it on T-Mobile in the US. It's working really well, no issues so far, and the 5G feels incredibly fast (it's my first 5G device - if speedtest.net is reliable, I'm consistently seeing >125Mbps download speeds in Los Angeles).
I specifically bought this phone to use with LineageOS, and the bootloader unlocking procedure and rooting went very smoothly. No issues at all so far with the device, LineageOS, or the unlocking/rooting.
Just as an aside, I opted for a used model off of Ebay, and they're going for between $150-$200 with the 128GB of storage ROM if you'd like to save some money.

Thank you for getting back to me. I too am well pleased with the phone and its performance.
I have been afraid to root it yet because of problems I read about.
1. How —exactly— did you root it?
2. Ive used lineageos on a previous phone. How well is it working for you on this phone?

Apologies for the delayed response, I thought I was set to receive email notifications for replies! I actually rooted it while flashing LineageOS - I first unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on the LOS install page (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiev/install), then flashed Lineage Recovery via fastboot. From there, I rebooted into Lineage recovery (NOT the OS/system, it'll overwrite the new recovery), flashed the LineageOS ROM, then followed that with GApps and Magisk.
See the link I posted, you'll root it at step 6 under "Installing LineageOS from recovery". Download Magisk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk, rename the .img file it gives you to a .zip, and you'll be able to flash it at Step 6 above via sideloading or over a microsd, same with google apps.
Lineage is working well so far! The only quirk is that the lockscreen likes to randomly wake up, but I'm not sure if that's just my secondhand phone's fault. Wifi calling and VoLTE all work on TMobile.
Let me know if I can be of any more help!

Thank you for getting back to me. You are very kind and helpful.
When I get enough courage I'll follow in your steps.
