Hi,
Thank you for most interesting information.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 SM-G1600 that went Chinese after doing a Samsung Smart Switch asisted firmware update. I looked through the list of links above but did not spot the SM-G1600. Does that mean that TWRP does not exist for that device? Also, is there a European custom ROM that is safe and working with Google Services?
Thank you and best regards,
Tore
Thanks for your feedback. Do you want to install TWRP on your device, install a ROM with Google Play Store and services or you just want to have root access on it? This is just to understand your question better.
Thank you for your quick reply.
First I have to admit that I am not really qualified to be on the forum as my knowledge is very limited about the issues discussed and most likely will be unable to contribute with valuable help. But as Samsung refuse to help me, in spite that the local support advised me to use the Smart Switch to resolve an update problem which in fact caused the “damage”, I have to seek help elsewhere. I am happy to have found this forum.
A short back ground summary: I bought the phone on eBay as I was looking for a folder type and this device was not for sale on the European market. It was working fine from the beginning but the Smart Switch changed it to a Chinese version, Google Play disappeared and so did the extensive European language pack. Most likely the device was flashed to a European version by the seller. The box was, however, sealed with Samsung seals…
So to answer your question; what do I want? I would like to reconvert the device to a smart phone with Google Play Services and European languages (now the phone is dumb and I can only use it for calls and sms in English). I hope the forum can help me to achieve that. Root access would be a nice tool to have, but I have to keep in mind my own limitations and not play with toys I cannot control as it can easily lead to a bricked device… I will for sure need to learn a lot more about all this on the forum by discussing with you experts, before I feel ready to do the job.
Alright, I will see how I can provide you with useful information to help you solve your problem.
Thank you so much for your understanding and kindness.
Have a nice day!
Hi again,
While I am waiting for your feed-back, I would like to fully understand the following:
TWRP: Does this mean device recovery to factory standards, in this case a Chinese device?
Root: What does this mean? An open door to new non standard S/W, F/W?
