Question Custom rom for A52s

[bobfrantic]

This will work with android 11 BUL7 firmware?

BUL7 is actually Android 12, which was the recovery and boot img's I provided him with to build the TWRP.

This is actually not screenshots of a working TWRP as it could be a picture you got from anywhere for any other device sepcially when there is no screenshot function from TWRP... ^^

There is also no number version including no version of the Android you've been using specially when using the Team Win Recovery Project.

So do a backup of your full system, and take pictures at different steps of the process with the naming convention of the nand backup.

I'd typically be the first one to test it, but this time I'll wait till someone else do install and use it... ^^

What! You can take screenshots in any version of TWRP by pressing the power+vol down buttons similarly how you take one in android OS. well i don't know why you cant see the version number even i can't see it maybe i might have removed it in building the TWRP by mistake. Yes i will take a backup . No worries you can try it or let others try it out

Who can make custom rom for this phone? TWRP in beta version

 

[TMHAKIM]

My bad and I do accept your explanation about TWRP screenshots.

But you mean you didn't fully test your own TWRP before posting it to others as when you forgot to remove your phone number, your serial number and your real surname Rachida ??? ^^ lol

Ah please don't remind me again and i will test everything in the TWRP okay

Here's your screenshot

Make a video of the process, showing all working, the screenshot dont prove anything.

 

[TMHAKIM]

Making a video of the whole process would be very nice but I think it's a too big "job"...

Just some good screenshots at relevant steps of the backup and restore processes : naming convention of the nandbackup before the backup and restore processes would be enough.

From there we should have enough and relevant information...

One important step and test is to restock the phone (so the TWRP backup should be done on the SDCard)
Reinstall the TRWP, then a other screenshot just before the restore process to see if we have the same naming convention then check if nothing has been lost and if the system isn't corrupted...

If all theses steps are met, I will accept to test this TWRP myself... ^^

Yeah right

 

[TMHAKIM]

Okay, okay, I just meant you shouldn't release anything in a hurry/rush before you tested everything yourself, specially with a so dangerous tool like this !!!

Myself I spent many days testing rooting and tested it in different ways before releasing the guide and the root app.
I was also planing to release a guide to upgrade a rooted firmware without losing data at the time of Android 11, then I rejected it when I discovered it was not compatible anymore with Android 12...

You may not have a legal obligation nor legal responsability but you still have a moral obligation/responsibility to others if your tool is bricking or corrupting others phone... ^^

Yes i will test all functions of the TWRP and give Information

Ok, this sounds interesting and should be pinned in the forum for A52s
I've just unlocked the bootloader today and reinstalled the phone couple of times.. so I can try use this recovery too

The only bad thing is that not working 64mpix camera on the back with the bootloader unlocked

Question, so I've read that you can flash the Stock Android 11 or 12 firmware with Odin, is it possible or am I finding just spam pages/articles ??? And if it IS possible, will doing that remove the Carrier startup and shutdown splash screen and the carrier stock wallpaper and carrier bundled apps ???

I tried @TMHAKIMs TWRP:

1. Flashed Original firmware A528BXXS1BVB1 with csc XEZ and then flashed the recovery
- After reboot I still got the standard Android recovery. I have no idea what happened, but it didn't work

2. Flashed Magisked firmware A528BXXS1BVB1 with csc XEZ and then flashed the recovery
- after reboot to recovery it just frozen on the "Samsung Galaxy Secured by Knox" screen. Probably trying to get to the recovery, but couldn't. Had to reflash.

I can safely say that the TWRP doesn't work with A528BXXS1BVB1 firmware.

only?

bro i've been on a samsung note 4 custom rom for years and bought an a52 5g recently - i can't stand all the bloatware

 

[1q3er5]

You never need root to remove bloatwares !

You just have to use adb commands with a list of apps you want to remove !

yup just learned that lurking recently lol - good to hear! i will be doing this shortly

Greetings,
I have done some custom rom installs (lineage and AEX) on samsung a50 and some older phones, but I am fairly junior to understanding creating custom roms Just got an a52 and a second computer so I have the cpu cycles to compile... I don't understand whether or not all the information required to create a custom rom for a52 is known, or if some kind of reverse engineering on the phone is required? I anyone knows how to proceed, If anyone has a recipe for creating a custom rom... like Lineage... I would be a willing student to do the work. I have the time and cpu cycles to throw at it.
regards,
Fuzz

can you please help me get twrp for a528b ?

 

[eslam.essa.2011]

The link to the TWRP is available in posts #46 and #52 and if @TMHAKIM hasn't reported since Feb 16, 2022 I guess his TWRP doesn't work ! ^^

But you can try by yourself and report if you wish...

can you please help me get working twrp for a528b ?

 

[eslam.essa.2011]

If I was able to help you TWRP would already be available and published in this section of XDA !!! ^^

thanks for your reply and hope you get this soon

Hello, I tried to port twrp to this device, but I can't try out this custom recovery myself because my bootloader is not unlocked, I would lose all files if I unlocked it (unless someone know how can I backup app data files with ALLOW_BACKUP disabled), so maybe someone could try flashing this recovery and reporting if it worked?
