Has anyone gotten google play to work? I like what I see. It does seem quicker, It recognizes 4G LTE for my carrier, and it supports wifi calling, but I can't get Google play to work.
that link i provided was the hassle free way of getting it to work instead of manually installing it with google installer apk
also check ur data connection management n make sure play store has permission to connect to data
I tried yesterday with clean install, with and without gapps, with and without Google installer nothing worked... Play store still not working
it worked for me on my first install, but in saying that since u mentioned it i did a full wipe and re-installed and now its not working for me either...very strange
try this for now http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/
im charging my phone atm cos i full drained it playing around too much haha but i'll try too n come back with results
ok dont know how i managed it the first time but seems the link i provided is no go so i'll be ammending my first post but here is how i got gapps working now
install the google installer v2 apk n install as instructed, but this will still not get it working 100%
then goto the APKMirror.com and download the lastest framwork and play store apk's and install
BOOM! everything works again

Can someone check if Smart Lock works on this ROM? Seems like previous releases had issues with this feature.

Smart lock settings do open this time. Didn't test beyond that, though.
Well I have finally got this firmware working. The gapps are working and I rooted it and deleted all the Chinese bloat. It runs real smooth and fast. Since it was a Chinese firmware/ROM and is technically not meant for US, but does support band 12, it has Wi Fi calling. If it was released here, T-MOBILE would probably have stopped that. Nice feature on an awesome phone. The only thing lacking is sd card support.
sorry wrong

It's very easy. First install your firmware, then through fastboot, install twrp recovery and flash SuperSU to root. After you reboot, go back into twrp recovery and flash the google apps file. Here's a link to a YouTube video on how to do it. They also do root in the video, but you do not need to do their way. https://youtu.be/OuIjlX5vSXs

How did you brick it? Did you do clean install? This method should not cause brick, bootloop at the very worst, but not brick. Place it on the charger and see if it will accept a charge. If the LED lights up, it is taking on a charge, let it take on charge and try restarting it in a couple hours.

i had a similar expeience. I didnt like way it was behaving with the new ROM so I decided to apply my most recent TWRP backup. After reboot its bricked. No led then blue led etc. I can still enter fastboot and commands complete but it will not boot TWRP and go to blue led. I have asked for help on another thread but no replies yet.
All help and suggestions please
Thanks Madmicro , that's exactly same here. The rom itself still boots up now.
FYI, I am on the EUI 5.8 developers rom

while surfing huawei china forums I found this custom Rom (http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-2182114-1-1.html)
Did any one tried it .. and if yes what is your feedback about it ?
I haven't tried his newest ROM B008, but I have tried several of his older modded ROM for the X1. Issue I have is that I can't get google play store or google services to work. I've tried varies version of goole play store and google service framework, but never could get it to work. Split view is nice...but it isn't automatic, you have to manually select the windows; not as good as Samsung implementation, but better than nothing.

it is sweet, i m using it, only 2 points to note before flashing it:
1) u need to be already on the official B008 rom (otherwise u will get the write to cust error)
2) the bootloader of your X1 must be already unlocked (if not u cannot flash via ADB)
for those using non china 4G sim, u may also get android.phone.com FC-ing during initial boot, no amt of wiping DATA or Cache (of phone itself or apps e.g. contacts, phone etc the usual sugg when u google the problem) will work, in this instance, simply switch to airplane mode, proceed to connect the X1 to your wifi and go abt dong all the updates via Huawei app store, i m not sure which update cured the problem, but when I switch off airplane mode after that, the FC disappears .. YMMV

there is actually a very simple workaround for google services (other than google+, which there is another solution), and it doesnt involve 'hacking' or meddling with system files, rooting is not even needed (although KangVIP rom comes pre-rooted)
because even on china roms, Huawei has actually implemented the google framework within, all we need are the correct apps, simply launch the default Huawei Store (App Centre) and search for Google Play, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSynAdapter. After installation of Play, just launch it and install other Gapps u need from there.
Hi all,
Small point to note, somehow Google always translates the Chinese word "shua" literally as the verb "brush" but it actually means the verb "flash" in this context.
Note that translations of "shua ROM" will end up being "brush ROM" instead of "flash ROM".

Sorry, I really have no idea what I had done to result in the FCs disappearing. In fact, I wasnt expecting it to be.
My original intention was to play around with it and conduct some experimental tweaks since I was already on it before reflashing to get rid of the FCs.
One other thing that may have caused the FCs to go away is Xposed framework, you can try installing it.
The attached file below is an old version, install it then update to version 2.5.1 via the Xposed app; I also installed the App Settings module (version 1.8) for per app DPI setting. In fact, this is the tweak I wanted to try on EMUI 3.0 B008, it worked on EMUI 2.3 B010 and I was hoping for the same favorable result on EMUI 3.0. It did.
It was after the above that I re-enabled mobile/data and discovered to my surprise the FCs were gone.
YMMV.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it so I'm back to use EMUI 2.3 B010.
Thank you for suggest me some methods.
ps / I got sme results. with Australian Boost sim is worked but Japan Softbank and Singapore StarHub SIM is won't work.
@potatohead
Today I try fix again then suddenly your method is work for my phone. I carefully follow methods then work.
Thanks.

Hi Potoatohead, after I installed the Xposed apk, I couldn't install the framework. I just got a hang (4.4.2 Emui 3.0). Downloading the 2.5.1 update and trying to install that result in install failed. Any clues?
I have a nubia z7 with rom version 2.05 (Android 5 and Nubia UI 3), with google apps working without problems. Even youtube.
It took 3 days to figure out how to do it, without rooting the phone.
But some tools are needed...
I upgraded my phone rom (which came with version 2.26, a modified 1.26), put rom 2.02 then 2.03 and at last 2.05, which is the last one in nubia chinese site.
I used nubia rom updater, for the roms version 2.02 and 2.03 you have to decompress to each folder and point nubia updater to that folder.
The last one (version 2.05), i used option update of the phone.
Then uninstalled every chinese app. Downloaded gapps micro for android 5.0.1 and copy to the internal storage.
Then rebooted the phone with TWRP and installed the zip file. With TWRP root the phone, in advanced menu.
After that, i reboot into android system and made login into google play and updated everything.
It's a google phone now.
I think this should work for Nubia Z7 mini and Nubia Z7 Max
I hope this help someone

hi, i'm Senh0r. I had logged with an old account.
now you can uninstall all chinese apps ,that you don't want.
then copy file gapps to internal storage.
Check if you have port ADB selected, by inserting on dial number *#7678# , if not, select it.
Now run the TWRP, which is in chinese, when the menu show up, choose option 3 and wait for the phone reboot into TWRP.
When you enter in TWRP, on bottom of screen you can choose english language.
After that is only to install the zip file. don't check for signature.
Now it's only need to reboot phone.
To enter on TWRP you need always to run the program to reboot your phone.
Anything ask
greetings
Thanks for that. I got them installed but when I boot the phone I get a google services has stopped and the phone shuts down I'm
Not sure what I did wrong

having the same issue as helobot.
update to 2.05 no problem
But after installing gapps it crashes in the setup phase
any ideas ?
Did you rooted the phone before installing gapps by twrp?
Rooted from twrp, installed gapps, rebooted.
After a few minutes it started, google setup wizard.
It crashes with an exception.
Gonna give it a shot in a few
Call me an idiot, but I didn't make a backup of the delivered stock ROM KitKat 2.26.
Please have you guys an image? I am stuck for good.
And cleaned the cache and dalvik partition too? Mine its working with no problems.
Cleaned cache etc.
I could hit me for being so stupid to forget backing the original ROM up.
I can easily go to a stock Chinese ROM but at least a KitKat Google ROM would be nice.
Señor or anyone, can you provide a image of 2.26?
Unfortunately I didn't backup it either , but soon I will create a zip file with my Rom with Google apps installed.
I will check Nubia site for older roms too.
Getting the hands on an 1.26 is relatively easy, but the googlefied 2.26 seems to be rather hard to find ...

Hi, I have my phone with 2.26, I have rooted it with kingo, if you can provide me a custom recovery I can do a nandroid back up of complete rom.
Hi Steveyknoxville, Señor shared a custom recovery based on twrp and that works very well. I would really appreciate if you could provide us with the 2.26 ROM
The link is in the first posting of this thread.

Hi, I have read that senor twrp does not work on 4.4.2, are you confirming it does. My biggest question I need answered before I do anything is, if I install twrp how do I go back to stock recovery so I can do Ota updates to get to lollipop. Thanks.
Sorry but I can't confirm weather it fully works or not. I followed señor's guide and updated the phone. But if I recall the thread correctly from nubia cn forums the stock ROM should be a slightly modified twrp anyways.
Try just going into the recovery mode.
You should be able to backup the ROM.
Thanks for the invested time.
Hi
I have recently aquired a Gionee W909 from China,
its running a Mediatek MT6755.
Since this phone is currently only available in China, the stock rom AmigoOS sv1.2 is the only rom I can find for it. and its based on lollipop 5.1
The phone comes without any gapps at all. Since I am using this in North America, I need all the gapps installed.
Kingroot works on this phone, so my phone is rooted with kingroot, trying to install gapp
I have googled a few articles saying install google framework, login service, play service, and then install vending in system/app via RE, and then install play store.
all the methods relating to downloading the service/framework apk, and then putting vending in system, have all failed catastrophically.
all of these ends up with a "service" has stopped working, and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", i've tried installing everything in system/app, or some in system/app, always made sure chmod is rw r r, and nothing worked.
I have also been trying to flash tk gapps and open gapps, downloaded ver 5.1 tried both 32 bit and 64bit. The stock recovery menu has an option to flash a zip onto it, it just doesnt read the tk gapps or the open gapps, the installation always terminate after a few seconds.
so i wanted to flash a twrp or a cwm recovery onto it, but there isnt one made for this phone yet, so i found another gionee phone, gn9007's twrp recovery which was on a chinese site, and tried to flash that in with its own one click flashing software. and it failed. Which seemed to me that boot loader is locked.
so I installed drivers and adb and fastboot.
when i tried fastboot oem unlock, the phone did prompt me and ask me if i wanted to unlock bootloader, and i pressed volume up/yes, and it gives me an error saying unlock operation is not allowed. none of the other flash oem commands work, such as flash oem device-info or flash oem get_identifier_token or get_unlock_data
so now im stuck trying to install gapps on this phone.
any idea is welcome.
thanks
Edit 1
today i tried using flashfire to flash the gapps zip file, and it didnt work, flashfire just stayed black screen for hours, even though the phone is rooted, theres no twrp or cwm made for it, is there any other way? I have also tried google installer made for MIUI, and ended up with service has stopped working, and com.google.process.gapps has stopped
bump ><
I hope you find a solution to this, I guess the phone has just come out. I really want to buy this phone, just need those gapps.

Hi. i am interested in getting the same phone as well. but waiting till you, or someone else finds a solution to the Gapps Problem. the solution would be simple enough i guess, but needs a Dev to work a bit on it.
i would like to ask a few questions to you though about the phone.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
EDIT1 :: this was the link we followed to convert our phone rom (Lenovo a588t android 4.4) to a rooted rom and also create a CWM recovery for the phone. im sure this might lead you somewhere. as its for MTK related phones. please have a look
https://www.myrl.net/article/43
EDIT2 :: try looking for a phone with a similar MTK chipset and try to install GAPPS on your phone that way. im sure that would help
EDIT3 :: Atleast you can upload ur downloaded ROM on needrom .com so others can avail benefit of it ?? lol
I bought a w909, it just arrived this morning. The seller made sure I knew gapps wouldn't work on it, but I'm fairly comfortable with following online steps to flash firmware (have done it in the past with Motorola Droid versions). So I'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult once someone figures out how to bypass the Chinese googlewall.
It was quick and easy to root with Kingo.
I'd be fine with a Cyanogen mod too! Subscribing to this thread for updates on whether anyone has managed to successfully install working gapps.
Honestly I'd be fine without the Play store, just want gmail, calendar, etc.

EDIT1 :: this was the link we followed to convert our phone rom (Lenovo a588t android 4.4) to a rooted rom and also create a CWM recovery for the phone. im sure this might lead you somewhere. as its for MTK related phones. please have a look
EDIT2 :: try looking for a phone with a similar MTK chipset and try to install GAPPS on your phone that way. im sure that would help
EDIT3 :: Atleast you can upload ur downloaded ROM on needrom .com so others can avail benefit of it ?? lol
EDIT4 :: Wanna sell your phone ?? lol

I bought it from liaow dot com and the manager of that site was the most helpful and informative person I have EVER bought from. Most reassuring online buying experience I have ever had. The price wasn't the lowest I'd see across the internet, but it was fairly close... lower than Ebay and Aliexpress at least.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
I tested installing the gapps apk just to confirm that it wouldn't work (it didn't). But manual install of a 3rd party appmarket .apk worked great, no issues.
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
I haven't tried any of these yet but I haven't had any inversion on the inner screen.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
I haven't tested a SIM card in it yet. I don't plan to until I can flash the ROM to something that will allow installation of gapps.
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
You could get by without opening the flip phone at all. Everything works from the touchscreen and side hardware buttons. But flipping it open is pretty awesome for the physical camera button on the keypad and for dialing.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
Didn't test this yet.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
The stock apps are not great. Lots of Chinese bloatware. Particularly the embedded browser is bad... it's got the Great Firewall built in (google 404s).
Long shot is this phone will be AMAZING once it can be flashed with gapps. Until that time, it's not great.
@Jordstar
hi .. any update on the phone usage.. what about Gapps ?? any luck on that

None at all. The worst thing was, I rooted the device, then was playing around with it and tried to install the OTA firmware update. Whoops-- bricked the phone.
I have had no success even finding a Gionee representative whom I can ask for a new ROM, in English. No email address even.
I tried getting some support at Hovatek paid forum, but to no success. It's hard to get Windows to recognize the device and use the MTK drivers required to allow MTK Droid Tools or other flashing tools to work with it. The support at Hovatek was getting pretty frustrated with me, and was looking for a ROM and not finding one.

Here you go bro.. all 3 versions are here i believe .. v1.1 , v1.2 and v1.3 .. Lookup Version History for 1 and 2.
https://translate.googleusercontent...?id=55&usg=ALkJrhgcxz_nskOsTcaN72_pYQHOqLXEbg
Incase the link wont work.. go to google translate.. Translate from Chinese to English the link www.amigo.cn
and go to firmware downloads and select your mobile.. im sure you need to register somewhere (no need to register i checked).. but thats for you to do.. lol.. i did my part. im not sure if the downloads are OTA updates or full ROMS as of now.. but 1.6GB of data should be a ROM. in any case .. they have to be installed as a zip file from the SD Card.. so try doing that. Entering recovery is also mentioned in the Tutorial Link on the page. keep trying.
Edit/ you will also find the drivers etc for your model.. Try connecting your cell phone to your laptop.. it should show up some form of Desktop Software installation etc like all cell phones do.

This is so awesome. Thanks for your help man. I'll get this device back on track I swear. I'll post here when I have some success.
EDIT 1: saqibkhan, I owe you some thanks! The Amigo 1.3 from the link you gave me was very easy to install from sd card using stock recovery. The device is no longer bricked! The first thing I did was install third party app market Aptoide and attempt to install Google Play Services... but it force closes. Now to get to work on gapps...

your welcome brov.. and keep that link saved.. w909 is AmigoOS and all updates/roms will keep on coming there in the future.. btw all of what i read in Chinese forums while searching for you.. they mentioned something about W909 not being updated to MarshMallow .. that is soo very sad.. but lets see what gionee does..
1. Why dont you flash Gapps from the sd card recovery as you did the ROM try fixing permissions for it to work. Mess with those.
2. there is a Google Play app that install Gapps for you.. did you try that.. google it.
3. the same website.. has a device forum.. translate and website.. and Keep reading there.. or try posting.. im sure Chinese ppl might have had a solution for this. but needs time to research.
4. what about you manually place the Gapps files within the system folder after rooting your device ?? maybe that would work.. try it.
Hello Jordstar and Saqib, thank you for your comments. My friend has bought the device and is having the same issues as Jordstar unable to use Google services. Saqib, I believe if we are able to get twrp/custom recovery for Gionee we will be able to get Google working on it.
Also, Jordstar have you used whatsapp on the gionee phone. My friend is also having issues with whatsapp, unable to get sound notifications when someone sends a message.

1. I tried this and the install would hang. Fixing permissions didn't change this so I don't think it will work.
2. It's easy enough to use any third-party gapps installer to install gapps on the device. However, the gapps will force close and generate an error message several times per second until they are uninstalled... so they are blocked from the kernel layer, not just in the firmware.
3. I had a look through the translated device forum. Unfortunately came up with nothing yet. It's hard to do a proper search for the English terms specifically in the w909 thread.
4. How would I do this-- through a file browser?
@Jordstar im gonna get an amazing guy to help us out on this. im sure he would be able to. Let me speak to him.
and yes try using a file manager. ES FILE MANAGER would be a good choice.

Awesome. OK, I'll see if ES file manager installs on the w909. I have to unzip them and place them directly in the /sys/ folder, right?
Really excited to see if you can get that help. I'm willing to experiment now that I know I can brick/recover the device no problem.
hi @mapleshilc and @Jordstar .. have you tried this.. im sure this should work.. Try it patiently and carefully. This should work.

AMAZING, thank you, I will try this and see if I can get it to work!
Edit: OK, I tried this and I get stuck again with MTKdroidTools.exe not recognizing the w909. When I launch the adb terminal from MTKdroidTools and type "adb devices" no devices are listed when the w909 is connected. I realized this was due to losing root once I updated it to firmware 1.3 after I bricked it (referenced earlier in the thread). I re-rooted with Kingo and this bricked the device again. I will have to downgrade the firmware and hope that version is rootable... will repost updates with an edit later.

Hi letschky,
Just installed this and looking around, so far so good
Whatsapp and the ability to add user accounts both working (both important to me).
I'll play around for a few days and report any bugs/issues if I find any.
Also no need to apologize for your bad English........ It's a hell of a lot better than my Austrian/German
Danke schoen mein freund.

Hi! For me your rom is a good rom! only please, its possible to reinsert a logo 3g 4g H+....? and...I forgot a question: i have uninstalled Yellow pages, the yellow pages are all in Chinese language and are useless. and i have uninstalled huawei home launcher because it's very invasive and i have installed nova launcher, the best for me. after this modify, for me this device is perfect, stable and very fast! excuse me for bad english but I don't know this language. I studied English twenty years ago for only 3 years at school .... help meeee
Nice ROM! But there are no Google apps installed. Also whatsapp notifications don't work. When i open Whatsapp i only get all the messagers. Did I do something wrong? On the first boot i had a screen with Chinese and the word GOOGLE in the middle.
I did have it freeze on me a couple of times and refuse to open a couple of games (Boom Beach and Clash of Clans).
I did a full factory reset on Sunday evening and have not as yet had any other problems, Whatsapp is working fine for me, also 3 different google accounts running fine on my phone too :good:
I also can't not open tradetracker, zanox and partners.webmasterplan links. Everytime i get error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Oké i installed the rom again and now all the Google apps are installed. I think something went wrong on the first install. I'm going to test Whatsapp notifications now.
I still have problems with tradetracker, zanox, webmasterplan and linksynergy links. Everytime i get this error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on every browser (chrome, firefox ect.). Anyone know how to fix this? Because i use this for my work
I have the same problem ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Why? Whithout this problema rom is perfetto.

I've been waiting for a custom ROM, haven't quite learned to make one myself. I've tried finding a compatible Xposed with no luck. The only things I have been able to do are debloat and add Viper/Dolby sound mods that added volume boosts. Please feel free to add any trials and errors you guys have had trying to mod this phone here.

There are plenty of tutorials for making your own rom and kerenel. There are plenty in xda university and an excellent one by my colleague jackeagle, if you want something device specific then it maybe better to add the phone title in your op rather than just adding a tag

Substratum
Hey, just so you guys know, Substratum works once you're rooted. Just go to the Play Store and download the Substratum app along with a theme of your liking. I'll post some screenshots of my Aristo all theme translucent.

All LG Home Apps (FIRST replace with Launcher of your choice E.G. Nova or ADW)
Lookout
All Google but Play Store, Play Services, Play Games, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and Drive.

As I said on the OP of that thread, check the specifications at the end.
Of course, it is for the MetroPCS version, I make it clear where it says:
Carrier: MetroPCS
And I also mention the twrp limitations and the fix.
Besides that, I am going to start building an slim version (very slim) and at the same time if anyone can provide me a T-mobile/Other Carrier Nandroid I can build slim versions of that for you guys.

That's when you boot into recovery and flash the Substratum.rescue zip and all good, plus, you should have a good nandroid to restore also. So nobody should be afraid to use Substratum, it's perfectly safe if you know your back up plans. Anyone has questions, just reply in this thread and I'll do my best to help anyone.

Yeah, I already had that panned out. My comment was a simple heads up about one of the possibilities.
snafu
starting over from scratch currently. everything was correct and working when i first rooted and progressively i messed up. i have no idea how it got so bad or why Ive put up with it for weeks now. i have several nandroid back-ups if anyone wants a headache. but i think my problem is deeper than just the ROM.
Laptop recognizes my LGMS210 as a LGMS550 when in recovery. Code 10 -broken drivers.... *re-flashed the recovery from fastboot [ADB version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android] and laptop gave me access to internal and SD but only seeing 9.95g available (6g for sys? is that right)
Google play is broke af. Nothing will install (error -504) even after cleaning data/data. data/apps .. even after dalvik/cache wipe.... even after praying. Not even apps Ive never installed before. LG smart world ie themes,fonts,whatever gives install error.
cant even install apks i have on SD (error-package seems corrupt)
Magisk wont update from ver 2.*.* to ver 16. begins to work but alas error -1 ?
I still have root tho lol
no super su present
and i have xposed framework API 26 installed but i think when using magisk and xposed modules this whole cluster nut began.
android Easter egg wont even work. its stuck with a fish selected, cant change the food offering. and NO cat has ever came.
Boot-loops 3-4 times if not shutdown properly... ie rebooter app or terminal reboot. i changed the default MPCS boot animation so i can see if its looping or chooching. gets thermo-nuclear hot and eventually boots after 4-5 minutes.
i'm gonna go ahead and re-flash stock FW.
*on a side note i keep confusing my PC software like fastboot and adb for my gf's galaxy tab A. Caught a security error brick when i accidentally used its fastboot for something like to unlock bootloader.... i have way too many devices being worked on at once. eh, never a dull moment.

android Easter egg wont even work. its stuck with a fish selected, cant change the food offering. and NO cat has ever came.
Boot-loops 3-4 times if not shutdown properly... ie rebooter app or terminal reboot. i changed the default MPCS boot animation so i can see if its looping or chooching. gets thermo-nuclear hot and eventually boots after 4-5 minutes.
i'm gonna go ahead and re-flash stock FW.
*on a side note i keep confusing my PC software like fastboot and adb for my gf's galaxy tab A. Caught a security error brick when i accidentally used its fastboot for something like to unlock bootloader.... i have way too many devices being worked on at once. eh, never a dull moment.

You're using the wrong recovery if it's still showing the ms550.
Drivers are universal inside of company devices. (LG for LG, Samsung for Samsung) so they don't conflict.
Adb and fastboot are both universal drivers and shouldn't matter for your device. (I'm using the same fastboot I installed for my Galaxy note 4 that I am for my aristo, my V10, my htc desire 610, and my uncle's v20)
Just do what you said and start fresh.
Unlock the bootloader.
Install the proper twrp and remove encryption.
Flash the stock boot partition and wipe data (this is sneakily pertinent if you're gonna use magisk)
Do not install system mods before using magisk.
After that, use twrp's file explorer to remove and stock apps that you won't need.
