TWRP Recovery for Samsung Galaxy J5.

DISCLAIMER

Your warranty is now void.
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired, because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation
1. Download TWRP from Downloads below, install device USB drivers and Odin 3.10.7.
2. Power off the device.
3. Boot to download mode (VOLUME DOWN/HOME/POWER).
4. Volume UP once.
5. Open Odin 3.10.7 as an administrator, connect the device to a usb port,
and make sure a blue button appears and says "Added" in description on the left.
6. Select AP or PDA for older Odin and search for the downloaded tar file.
7. Uncheck auto reboot from the second tab.
8. Start flash and you should see the succeeded command.
9. Unplug the device and long press POWER until it powers off or remove the battery.

Flashing and Debugging Tools [WINDOWS]

ADB Driver for Windows

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your device is not listed, then it is not supported yet.
DON'T flash anything until we make progress for your variant.

If you flash the stock MM secure bootloaders (aboot.mbn, sbl1.mbn) from official update, or ODIN,
obviously this recovery won't work anymore. Consider using a custom 5.1.1 ROM instead

Consider clicking the "Thanks" button if you find this open-source development useful! Thank you.

Does it increase the data/internal partition or root partition if you wipe the hidden and persistent partitions?

Does it increase the data/internal partition or root partition if you wipe the hidden and persistent partitions?

Modifying partitions is possible through "parted". Wiping Hidden could bypass the samsung bloatware loading in first boot on Stock ROMs, and formatting Persistent could fix the FRP locks. But I see now that formatting EMMC partition is not possible! (Stupid mistake of mine) I will keep the Hidden wiping option only because it is ext4. Persistent partition is bypassed in CM-12.1 from source anyway.

Disable for the moment your anti-virus programs, and download it, you can trust 100% that iis not infected
