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.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Download and install Odin,usb drivers.
2.Power off the device and boot into download mode by holding [VOLUME DOWN/HOME & POWER].
3.A Warning screen appears,now press volume up once and connect the phone to the PC.
4.Open Odin with admin rights and you should see the phone added at some ID COM: port if not then you have to download and install the appropriate drivers.
5.Now click on AP and select the downloaded recovery file.
6.Hit start and the flashing will be done in a few seconds and the device reboots.
7.Hold VOLUME UP+POWER+HOME buttons to boot into recovery.
Enjoy!!

Download(3.1.2)​

J500F/M/G/Y
J500FN
J500H
​

NOTE : For some reasons twrp gets replaced back with the stock recovery if we left the device to reboot into system after flashing. To overcome this issue untick the Auto Reboot from the options in Odin and flash the recovery by following the above steps. Now right after flashing is done,power off the device and power it on by holding [ VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER] to enter into the recovery and 'swipe to allow modifications'.
Be careful while backing up and playing around with efs partition,you might loose your IMEI.!!

You coud always extract the tar file with a app from playstore and flash the img with flashfire or your current twrp

Do you have this file in zip or img (not sure what the right extension) to install via TWRP?

The TWRP download has the extension .tar (this extension you install via ODIN), and if you extract the .tar file on the pc or on the mobile phone itself, you will see an .IMG file that can be installed by your current recovery.

Thank you so much, my friend, it saved my day. My notebook has problems, and now I can always test this version whenever I want using my own cell phone, anyway.

Don't think that is going to work, unless you have a twrp backup somewhere that included the efs partition. Are you sure you do not have an efs backup somewhere you can restore?

Is AROMA support present?
