Whenever i try to flash something using the recovery I either get bootloop, softbrick or a strange screen: Its on the screen when u reboot the phone and the text "Samsung Galxy J5, powered by android", just before the bootanimation, the screen get hazy with horizontal lines slowly fading in. And soon the screen is just green. I had to flash the rom through odin again. But i cant flash a single file through the recovery.
My phone is Galaxy J5lte/J500F runningon downgraded Stock rom 5.1.1

Its fine now. I was on TWRP V2. Or SOMETHING. I updated it to the v3. Now i can flash zips. I have installed slim rom 6. Which rom will u recommend?


Lollipop

CM 12.1: smooth, stable (the only bug left is FM-Radio).

RR 5.1.1: same as CM 12.1, but has many customization options. Also, there is another bug: Google Play Service keep force closing when Mobile Data + GPS are on.

Touchwiz Lollipop 5.1.1 highly debloated: Consider this as a last choice. If it is highly debloated (preferably GAPPS free too), then its quite smooth and the RAM management isnt that bad. However, it is still far away compared to CM smoothness and its free ram.


Marshmallow

CM 13: better than cm12.1. I have wrote the improvements i have noticed HERE. Ive noticed these improvements on Slim6 too since is based on same Android version and same kernel, device and vendor tree. It has some bugs though, like Camera isnt working in Snapchat and Skype video call. The FM-Radio bug is present here too.

Slim6: A slim rom, based on pure AOSP which is slightly modified ( see Slim6 features) and has more free RAM than CM13. Cant say if is smoother though, since cm13 is smooth as well.

RR 6.0.1: i didnt try it and i wont, but if you are looking for many customization options, this might be a good choice for you.

please help

I attempted to flash this recovery on my SM-J500G. When it reboots, it would say RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and Set Warranty Bit: Recovery on the top left corner, and it would stay on that screen and not boot into the system. Also, the screen would be filled with random yellow pixels. What is my problem? Please help.

That might happen because you are on marshmallow firmware. If that's the problem, you have do (re)install the lollipop one

    Since this is the most popular thread regarding J5, i'm sharing this here :D
    I've made this custom rom: Stock ROM Advanced .Please read the whole thread and share it, so more people will know about it.

    -Status about CM-

    Hey, some of you have been asking if a AOSP based rom will ever come out or if I will ever make one for this device. I've tried this device a few times in my hand (mostly in samsung stores etc.) and find that is actually has quite some potential. Not only design wise but performance wise. Talking about performance. It uses the SD 410 right? Luckily enough many phones, including samsung phones with the SD 410 have CM roms and we all know how much advantage there is when working with snapdragon because of it's open source contributions. However here are the circumstances I would need to even start ROM development for this device.

    1. I need to warn you that I am doing absolutely no promise here. One of my weaknesses on XDA has been that I promised too many things that would later result a fail, leaving too many users behind that were hoping for something.

    2. I will only start the project when I have time for it. Usually "I don't have time for it" sounds allot like your every day excuse when you're too lazy to do something but in this case i'm too busy with other devices at the moment (Galaxy Tab S2 and S5 mini).

    3. I would need to own the device. I've had enough experience trying to build a ROM without having the device and believe me... it's nearly impossible. Now there are following options : 1. Funding together donations so I can buy the device myself. 2. Ship me the device if you live near.
    Be aware that I cannot ever guarrantee that the ROM will function bug free and stable.

    So to make it clear, I am still too busy with other devices at the moment. However if i'm free, I believe a CM port will work on this device fairly well. I will notice you when I have time and maybe then we can talk again.

    I think, I don't need custom aosp or cm based rom for this device, maybe debloated or de-knoxed stock firmware would be nice. If someone could port and make flashable samsung music for J5, that would great. The battery life with stock firmware, the standby and screen on time just amazing.

    Hello! I've made an rom like 1 week ago: Stock ROM Advanced. About Samsung music, it will come in next version :D


    @Force do you have github for ur rom ? I have seen an thread that say's cm rom support up to 10 multi touch, but you need to modify the kernel. Here is it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1384927.
    Hope you or anyone can make also custom kernel for j500. Id like to make too. But i lacked in resources.

    Hello! I have a github, however my rom is not built from sources, it is based on stock rom.
    I didn't know that kernel can be modified to support more fingers, but it should be related to hardware.
    I want to make an custom kernel as well, and I lack in knowledge too. But there are guides... :D it still hard though.

    There is an github regarding cm for J5: https://github.com/Galaxy-J5 . But it haven't been updated for a while.
