Hi I have an old s5 that was my son's. I want to install lineage on it so my wife can use it till I can afford to buy her a new one. It has been a really long time since I have modded a phone. So I have questions.
First off is Odin still being used or is there a newer method to install recovery? Also is twrp still the best recovery option. And 5he last thing is where do I get a good working gapps package? It seems like I keeps having problems with gapps the last time I was modding with my note 2. Any help from you guys would be much appreciated thanks. Oh and the phone is a galaxy s5 tmo variant. So I am assuming I should use the klte ROM.

What is the most stock ROM for s6 edge? I was hoping for cyanogenmod 13, but it turns out that they dont actually got a ROM out for S6 Edge, atleast not an official one. I currently got SpaceX-Kernel and TWRP recovery on my phone, with stock ROM. I would be thankfull for any help I can get. For your guys information I am kind of new to the world of ROOT, even if I have Rooted several phones before, it was only for fun, and I always ended up with a bricked phone. I can't afford that this time, because this phone is my daily driver and from my own money. Also sorry for alot of questions these days, just rooted the phone, and curious about TONS of stuff.
Hi guys, this is a hell of a story I have to tell and it's complicated as ****. So please if you think you can help me, take the time to read it I'll also add some screenshots.
So Monday I decided to root my Moto G3 and install the custom Android 7.0 Nougat rom (because it won't get it officialy). I did everything using a tutorial from the AndroidDoctor on YouTube.
So everything went well so far and I got my Android 7.0 custom rom. Tuesday I decided to get rid of the rom because I didn't really like it and I wanted my original software back and wanted to unroot.
So I did something insanely stupid, I deleted the files (Supersu, the rom and the GApss) from my phone using the device manager for my phone on my pc thinking this would get rid of the root and the rom on my phone.
So I decided to reboot my phone to get my old software back and I got in a bootloop. I had a lot of research but nothing can really fix my problem.
So I used the tutorial to fix it also by the AndroidDoctor.
So you guys are my only hope, what else can I do? The only screen that is working on my phone is the boot menu.
Any help is appreciated thanks !
Device:
Moto G3 (2015) XT1541 8GB
Software before rooting and installing my custom rom:
Android 6.0.1
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900T and I wanted to flash a Custom ROM onto it. The problem is, I do not have an SD Card (yet) and I wanted to flash it anyway. I know there are ways to flash it with things like ADBLoader but that is not my problem right now. I am just afraid I'll end up messing my phone up by installing something wrong. I have rooted it and installed TWRP Recovery using Odin, but I'm not sure what to do from here.
I want to do it so I can install Nougat, that's all, possibly with Cyanogen but I do not know how to do that either. Sorry if I sound stupid when saying this, I'm confident at most device modifications EXCEPT mobile phones, they just don't ring a bell in my brain :silly: Thanks in advance! Also new to these forums so I don't know if this is the right place.
Hello guys, new Galaxy Tab3 owner here. Just picked it up from Best Buy sale (please don't say I payed too much and/or I should've waited for some other sale).
Anyway, I was wondering what recommendation there might be for first time use of this tablet, i.e. is it ok to install all OTA updates or should I leave whatever Android version it has out of the box, or just forget that and just root and flash TWRP? I mention this because some time ago on the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 everyone who update to MM basically lost root and had to downgrade to regain fastboot.
Thanks for any advice.

It's OK to install the latest updates as they accually seem to fix some bugs, the twrp seems a bit dodgy for me. Then rooting it is up to personal preference
