It works fine on SM-J500G too. But I have to flash the stock firmware after flashing twrp with odin on my rooted device. My device cannot boot into system, keep booting into twrp every time I reboot from twrp menu. After flashing stock firmware and and re-flash twrp, my device can now boot into system when I choose reboot from twrp menu. Thanks for the twrp tar file.

Just reflash twrp no need to get back in stock .

Hello.. I have some issues with drivers

So I wanted to flash TWRP using Odin on my SM-J500FN phone in order to get cyanogenmod on it, but the needed Samsung USB drivers that it says they are needed don't want to instal.

Error: (remove spaces) h t t p : / / i . i m g u r . c o m / W D z p R E F . p n g ? 1

Bro twrp 2.8.7.0 is not for MM. It is for lolipop therefore you are getting the seandroid error. Twrp 3.0.0.0 or 3.0.2.0 is for MM. You should use Nick Verse's twrp 3.0.2.0. It will work without any problem. I can give you the link if you want.:)

    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://forum.xda-developers.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.
