Looking for Samsung Galaxy On5 SM-G550T1 Stock ROM Please Help!

[L1ghtF00t]

So, I upgraded my phone yesterday from the Samsung Core Prime to the Galaxy On5 and the phone was great. I used it through out the day and then proceeded to root the device last night using an app called Root All Devices, which is supposed to detect your phone and tell you what to download and how to root that specific phone. Well, its obvious that it didnt work or else I wouldnt be here. I cannot even get into recovery mode. The phone only allows access to the downloading screen, nothing more. I have searched all night looking for a ROM for SM-G550T1 to use with Odin, but came up with nothing at all. I did try to use the SM-G550FY (Indian version?) but that had the exact same result in Odin. When i tried to root the core prime I had similar problems, but once I located the stock ROM for it it worked perfectly. From past experience with my Core Prime I knew to turn on OEM unlocking (FRP lock is off), allowed unknown sources, turned on USB debugging, and the USB drivers are already installed, so everything is great as far as that goes. My carrier is MetroPCS also. Below is the failed result from Odin:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

If someone or anyone would be kind enough to create and upload the stock ROM for the SM-G550T1 (MetroPCS), I would be extremely grateful and I know many others would be as well. Thank you guys. Please help us.

I've been trying to root my on5 sm-g550t with no luck, no methods work. I think this is because this phone is not well known. My carrier is t mobile and can barely find any info on the U.S. device. So I guess try the Indian root on the phone? I have such a hard time and I just want to find a method to root it.

Using TWRP you can install SuperSU to root. I had success with this method last night.

I can also confirm the aforementioned TWRP method works. I held the power,volume up, and home buttons just till the samsung logo appeared
when rebooting into TWRP recovery.:good:

Does this flash the T-mobile version of the phone or the metroPCS version? I need the metropcs icons and so on...

I would like to know if you have determined if this will work on MetroPCS. I am looking for the same info.

The link says it will "work" for metroPCS, but i dont know if it provides the user with t-mobile icons when completed or metroPCS icons.

If anyone finds the T-Mobile firmware version, please let me know where it is located. The Indian version does not work. My on5 has became brick because of a firmware issue. The model number is SM-G550T. Thanks in advance.

there's a twrp backup of it at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_VtvT1vGmlsMjNnR2JvYzk0MFU/view?usp=sharing if you're able to get it going would you be able to make me a stock recovery.img and system.img?

Boot.img

Can you load the boot.img somewhere so that we can get it? There are ways you can convert a TWRP image to a bootable image, according to what I have read.

Have you guys try smartswitch?

Yes, the firmware files aren't available for it to work

No guarantee this won't mess everything up, but it's the boot.img I got from that stock twrp backup, and it flashes fine to my phone.

By any chance, did u do a factory reset?

Tried to. Originally I couldn't get into recovery mode bc FRP was blocking me from using the TWRP recovery, but I just got a copy of stock recovery.img and flashed it so I can access recovery mode again finally. But I can't really do anything with it, no /system access, no USB access, so I can't wipe anything or do anything with recovery mode it seems.

Don't do it...you're to make it worst...
Try reinstalling again. With and without Odin

reinstalling what tho? i've got nothing to reinstall, and how would I reinstall anything without odin?

what I need is just a system.img for my phone, if I could get a stock version of that I think I'd be fine, but it's not easy getting one
