Put the ROM file on your sd card
Boot into recovery and chose flash zip from sd card or something like that.

Can you post a link to a rom?
As a hypothetical, (i'll let you know if this actually happens), if i cant install the rom then am i totally screwed?

Im talking about the recovery mode that comes with a stock rom. So it has a pic of the android. I tried using a different recovery before but i cant get to it now so idk.

Oh, you mean Stock Recovery. Stock Recovery won't allow flashing of a custom rom. If you have an update.zip of the stock rom, then you could flash it. You have to use a custom recovery e.g ClockworkMod Recovery to flash a custom rom.

Hi guys, help please!!
Im using a samsung galaxy s2
I am a complete novice.
I was trying to gain root access. but before that i had to install an insecure kernel, I think i chose a bad 1 as i don't know what im doing Kernel_I9100XWLP4_INSECURE.tar is the kernel and when it wont reboot, just shows the start up screen then goes blank, i then tried to install secure kernel Kernel_I9100XWLP4.tar to see if it would fix it but same problem.
Does any 1 fancy holding my hand through the stages to fix my phone please?

Okay first read what I wrote there earlier:

And then tell me if u can get to recovery? Maybe your bad kernel still brought cwm on your phone, if so you can flash a new rom with good kernel via recovery.
It's also important which model of phone u have, international or something like that

Volume down is download mode.
Hold menu, power and volume up at the same time.
If you have a custom recovery (likw cwm ClockWorkMod) then you would be able to flash a dorimanx kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219) I would download a 7.x version (newest) and flash it through cwm. Or, of course, if you want a different rom then flash the rom like Muthzer the One said.

superuser is something else then CWM. Superuser is often needed to give root access to apps.
When your in recovery, what does it say on the first line? Maybe Android recovery system or ClockWorkMod, something like that.

You must not unzip it. Just download it and leave it as it is. Odin needs the tar file.

Tried the flags we discussed
You end up with a zImage-dtb, but it has no DTB embedded data
You can verify by comparing it to the zImage: they are same
Also, no DTB files were created during compiling
The end is a zImage without the DTB info

Yea I noticed that b4 I broke mine from compiling. lol Not overly concerned with it atm. I'm sure the kernel gurus will work their magic.
Haven't installed it yet.
But I am dying hard to get a kernel for exynos with Boeffla or Faux audio driver.
Thank you for the CWM recovery!
Getting my Galaxy S5 tomorrow! And only have this one SM-G900H variant in my country. I will be replacing the recovery with this as soon as I get it!
ODIN v3.09, in case anyone needs it: http://www.devfiles.co/download/CAHmXM6c/Odin_v3.09.zip

Gave another go without the auto boot. Ran the whole thing, then it was left at the blue reset on Odin. So I pulled the cable, pulled the battery, and did the recovery reset with the volup, menu and power thing.
Goes then to the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing " and then just reboots the phone regularly without ever going through recovery.
Something wrong in the process or the way I did it?
Here is my collection of bootlogos made for myself, I used this guide - [UTILITY][GUIDE]Exploring Param.lfs and hence changing Boot Logo
Just flash through revovery and reboot

If you read the thread, using which the zips are created, you will see that only images with 72dpi is supported.
I guess, you used a image with higher dpi.
For now, flash stock ROM using odin, to bring back things to normal.
Anyway, flashing wrong bootlogo shouldn't hardbrick your phone, its just that you wont be able to see any bootlogo, but normal reboot should proceed then after.

Its not hardbricked.
Simply remove battery, wait 5 minutes, insert battery again and try to boot in recovery then flash other bootlogo
It worked for me.
***UPDATE***
To anyone who comes across this, I fixed the issue by following a guide by @AddictedA1 on this post . Note that your case might be different as in you might be locked out of device and unable to change OEM lock from settings. This was the case with me so I just follwed the FRP/Knox bypass guide, accessed settings, enabled OEM unlocking and the proceeded with the above guide.
If you have any questions then just message me.

So today we were given Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lites by our state government for promoting technology in the state (elections in a few months go figure).
The issue was that it comes with knox which has government agency as the admin.
I tried rooting by flashing magisk flashed AP following this guide (for samsung galaxy tab A7) but now after startup it asks me to connect to the Internet and, runs a few checks and says "cant create work profile because security policy prevents this on a custom os".
It's just stuck at that message and can't get out of there.
I've never had any Samsung device before so I might be doing something wrong. Any help on how to get out of this is appreciated. Thanks
Well. I faced the same problem. After hours of hit and trail i finally managed to atleast boot back to my previous state i.e Yogi Ji's pic
Solution : I just relocked my bootloader via Download Mode and Flashed latest Firmware ( September Build ) with ODIN Tool. Untill some new development i.e custom ROMs for this device comes i think we are stuck with this lol

The Knox app only stop booting if it detects that bootloader was unlocked or somtheing of similar nature. You can go back to your old state by relocking and flashing stock fw.
i made a quick guide, hope it helps
FIX - "Can't create work profile because policy prevents custom OS"
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite was distributed by our state government for promoting technology in the state. (JUST ELECTION THINGS) Anyways, the Tabs are coming with Samsung Knox security which cannot be uninstalled, disabled, debloated with adb...

Somebody get help or asked some experience in XDA to make a TWRP port for this device or else forget privacy in this.
