I'm working on this same device, and have successfully flashed a handful of roms, but I tripped frp at some point and need a workaround. Any ideas?
Odin back to original firmware. How did you get to flashing roms ? A bunch of A205U owners would like to know the steps.
Best I did was read a kernal message saying if I was not a developer don't read something about ok boot flag = fefffffff or something similar with pages of extra kernal info I'm sure could help. Although I'm on u3 bootloader without a sim card cuz until it is rooted it is useless

I used patched Odin and find compatiblish roms, enter recovery mode and write down the weird alpha numeric part of the device name. Go to the Sam firmware site and look for the packages in which the first 4-6 characters match. I believe it's a hardware tag of sorts. The remaining characters I'd country and network carrier. Happy Hunting. And flashing stock does no good for frp rest.

Have you managed to root the phone?

Hey guys I got a hex editor planning to overlay the magisk patched boot img on top of the stock boot img. Hopefully change build prop somehow. Quite confident I need help and am missing a bunch. Thoughts anyone?
