Development [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy A22 SM-a225f

[afrojanoon]

Hi, I was wondering, is this compatible with f22 (SM-E225F), since they have similar configurations and all? If not, do you plan on making one for F22?

Can this be flash without GSI? If he can take any steps, I don't like GSI.

 

[AsrieltheGoat]

Hey, I was wondering if is compatible with M22 (SM-M225FV/DS). They basically got the same chip so...

 

[MrZaku086]

this can be used in a32? this tpwr can flash custom rooms?

 

[Platypus Enthusiast]

Forgot to say this but it doesn't boot in the A22 5G, just black screen. Probably because of the different MTK chips or something.

 

[Qbsoon]

I as wondering how you guys have unlocked bootloader? I have (my friend's) a22 5g and I just can't find a way to do this. I had tried various methods from google, but it just doesn't show up in developer options. I've read that on MediaTek I could do this with fastboot, but when I open fastboot, it says "Entering fastboot mode..." and on pc it doesn't see my device with "fastboot devices". I tried various drivers, but none of them is working with this phone. And one of them I coudn't even try, because it wasn't signed and I'm to lazy to reboot windows with disabled drivers signing.

Fastboot doesn't work because Samsung phones don't have fastboot mode, but it does have Download mode.

Are you sure there's nothing in developer options with "OEM Unlock"?

Edit: If OEM Unlocking is not visible in the developer options, it's possible the bootloader is completely locked down or already unlocked.

 

[Qbsoon]

Yeah, I almost lost hope and I wanted to give up. My friend wanted me to to install him a rom with a different region. When I tried to do that, odin was like doing nothing, after I clicked start it was just constantly at "setupConnection..." and I thought that it's because of oem lock. After few hours of trying to get rid of it, I tried flashing rom again and it just worked...

I have still a problem. After flashing non-carrier rom, carrier bloatware and logo and everything is still present.

But have you unlocked the bootloader? You gave no sign that you were able to. Assuming you were, flash the empty VBMeta provided to disable verifiedboot, reboot (will reboot to recovery and ask to factory reset and restart a few times), back to Odin mode, flash a tar file with a patched Magisk boot image (if you have one) and reboot. Now just install the debloat module and remove them through the terminal.

If you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, I really don't know what to do. Give it a try to see if it was already pre-unlocked.

No, it's definitely locked. There was "oem lock: on" in download mode

There are carriers which completey lock down the bootloader on their phones, AT&T for instance. I have an S4 from AT&T that I still use and gets custom rom updates because of a bootloader exploit that was mercifully found. Doubt something like that exists for another phone.

How long does it take when first boot?

When Is Official Version Be Going To Be Launched
