Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!
You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!​
Disclaimer Please Read!!
This may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
Please Read Notes
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image
Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap
Anything here with a .tar or .md5 gets flashed in odin
Anything here with a .img extension gets flashed as image in safestrap

Thank you guys for keeping this nice device alive.
I'm just glad we was able to stick it to em once again ???

Thank you all.

Wow!!!

Finaly!
Exited to try out latter today. Been looking and hoping for a way to have my Galaxy S8 950u rooted.
BTW, which rooted roms could I install after fallowing this process?

Will this root method work for S8+ SM-G955U Android 9?
Due to accidentally deleting my Music folder files, the only way I understand to recover the MP3s (not backed up on Google or Samsung Cloud) is to first root the phone, then install a 3rd party software program to recover them. Will this method work on my S8+ SM-G955U, Android version 9, Build PPR1.180610.011.G955USQS7DTB1 ? If not, would you please link me to the root method that will work?
Thanks!

No look in the s8+ threads for your method Only issue is once you root you may overwrite the music files more than likely they are gone permanently

[ROM][MM 6.0.1][Deodexed][Delete Bloatware][Final] Edge Panel stable Rom for SM-J7108

Newest Nougat rom is availabe at here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-axvy-rom-sm-j7108-stable-sexy-af-t3687461
I posted previously for j7108 https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/j7108-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-rom-t3542561
This Rom contain Google Play too.
Bloatware is heavily removed, after flash this Rom you will able to uninstall them!
- using newest update from Samsung
- Camera seem to focus faster and able to capture clearer picture
- phone app has new transition
Lot of preloaded apps/bloatwares are removed properly, it will be very long if I list them all.
Tips for keyboard:
Set Keyboard Swipe to Cursor Control, when you typing you can move the cursor up down left right easily
Keyboard size is helpful especially for those screen with problem
Download language pack to enable spell checking.
Edited build.prop for optimisation, check that old thread. Lot are the same except I remove the nobootanimation already.
My warranty is voided last time because I didn't know about frp lock while flashing wrong rom of other country.
To close Frp Lock, enable Developer Options(google it for step), enable OEM Unlock before flashing
Yet I did not add root to this rom for now, comment if you need it.
I do not know if this rom will void your warranty. Feel free comment to tell us. (Mine after flash in Odin mode said official firmware thought)
In summary I think this rom is better, if you have any request, leave a comment below
Will Void waranty!!!
Cannot use pin version, for those who don't have SD card or phone insufficient space:
Download 720.9mb, extract 1 time and ready to flash using odin. Use AP: https://mega.nz/#!ucl01DaA!APSN35pyT0qH4RnP4GNoc9J8C6wVRlpC5TKBfCBvXJE Set lock screen pin not working
No error version. No need format or wipe your phone and all Knox Carmode stub etc removed in compare to top one:
press backspace to hide keyboard. Files below all extract one time and ready to flash.
1. Flash this first: https://mega.nz/#!qUsXmbwD!Q-rr7wJW7AKYi0xsTIZZvhhDG2zHCCbDAWiAA_mS4JY
2. Flash TWRP using odin https://mega.nz/#!ycc3nLBR!_do-RBTeOfIWvDK5enea8tJXDn5w1hyWuL7j7ZCuh5I select AP
3. Put zip to Phone folder or SD card, install using twrp HOME+POWER+ volume up: https://mega.nz/#!aNFECCRS!84XOLiu_-nyMoSSDTS0ym6dA3xek7Cc2GEHlbib30sE
Personal or application data will remain, this is just like update the Rom.
I have tested this rom before post it but still back up your phone. First boot time will be quite long, please wait for it.
Fyi, when preparing update it take lot of time processing, don't interrupt it and it will come to the last step optimise app.
First boot is always slow then it will be fine. Comment if you don't understand or face problem.

Quite amazing all functions are working fine, so far no crash and used for few day already
Cannot use pin version: Screen Lock type can't be set.
Pin won't show after lock, don't set pin because it will tell you wrong pin even it's correct when you want to reset it
To remove password you have to go to https://findmymobile.samsung.com/?p=home
I will reupload soon but busy now
Or flash back stock then change pin, not a big issue
Link updated, added twrp j7108 download link
Hopefully it help more people out there, I hope you love this Rom
Further update and improved. I have perform lot of testing. It's stable. Lot of tweaks added.
It has symbol above every key, long press to use symbol. I really love Samsung Keyboard so much, especially the cursor.
To get red underline, for typo, download language pack first. Assistant Menu is come with the phone, google to enable it.
And quick tip to make your phone faster, enable developer mode then disable animation scale. Screenshot more is very nice, I want to thanks Samsung to provide such features allow me to enjoy their product so much. I hope they add edge panel soon, most useful feature.
Here is the new download link, you can find above too, you need twrp for j7108, check above.
THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY!!

What do you mean by custom Rom?
If you mean not stock firmware release by Samsung then this is a custom rom.
For ultimate fast speed and hacks for j7108 Rom pm me.
It's release for private only
I installed this ROM but I seem to still have all the bloatware. You say after this flash I'll be able to uninstall bloatware, but it is as before, if I select uninstall it only gives me option to uninstall updates and return to factory version of apps.
Hmm, should I have wiped system and cache before flashing?
Clearly I have your new ROM installed because I now have the edge app which I did not before. Or, what did I miss.?
Before flashing I was at version J7108ZHU1BQB1 which is same as what you suggest we upgrade to first. Then I used Odin to flash j7first.tar and then J7108twrp-3.0.3.0.tar, then I used TWRP recovery to install ExcellentTweakedTrimmed.zip

Yes it should and it will, can you help me check which bloatware is not removed? Look:
can be completely uninstall
That's odd, both .img and twrp version will uninstall my apps.
You say it revert to old version? Flash it again perhaps since it match stock version of that app.
Really, I have tried both of then several time for bug testing, that's why I believe it will 100% work. NO wipe required ya, this is just like updat, DON'T reset as I have tested.
I am gladly to watch it over video to see at what's the problem, if you don't mind pm me your skype username.

Ha, OK, yes it does work. When I hit "uninstall" it gives me the same dialogue box as always before:
"Do you want to replace this app with the factory version? [Cancel], [OK]"
So I thought nothing had changed and I didn't even try to go further, But now I see that that if I select [OK], it actually does uninstall - it does not revert to the factory version like the dialogue box says it will..
I installed the TWRP version by the way

Place the custom rom in your phone at all time so when anything happen just flash that custom rom you are using now back.

I used this on 5T and it did work super.
But i am wondering if this is working for view10 or not... V10 requires a unique code to unlock BL, where do we provide that code here?
Also rooting v10 requires an img to be flashed. Is this tool working?
Anyone tested all these features on View10??

I have tested it on my honor view 10, to unlock your bootloader you still need of huawei unlock codes, always remember this tool automate process not bypass it (except it is not specified). This tool can't root the phone directly
EDIT: there is a little bug when you try to unlock the bootloader and your phone is in powered on and recognized in adb mode, i'm releasing a new version to fix it at this moment

Honor 10 is not supported officially, you cant do a recovery backup with this tool
Hi guys.
I'm looking forward for Honor View 10 or Honor 10, and as I'm with Samsung S8, I'm trying to understand if these Honor devices can receive a recovery consol or be rooted in a way that can be restored to stock without being noticed from official assistance in case I'll need to go for an assistance in warranty.
Second, as I'm with Samsung since years, I've always seen to need a recovery consol and a root package to flash (as standard classic methods) for having complete access to phone, while here I read about unlocking and unlocking cuts from Honor (that I'm reading now it seams that they stopped to release easily the code needed), recovery, bootloader and other things that I'm completely lost in reading
I'm not speaking of the strict interest in flashing alternative roms, but at least to have the possibility to clean the phone deeply once in a while manually with SD-Maid, RootExplorer and other apps (maybe you know of more professional...) so for it not to get fat and more fat in time, with the possibility to clean corps and old unused system files without the need of a wipe, so to have a slim internal sd-card as much as I can (specially if I'll go for the Honor 10)
So please explain me a bit of what is this Honor world as I'm really willing to they one even tomorrow!!
Thanks to allall.

Honor and huawei devices can be unlocked, there are available twrps and you can do what you want. They can be restored to stock.

Mate 9 is not officially supported, if it has kirin 970 you can try to select honor view 10 and use the tool
Hey buddy, thanks for this amazing tool. I need to know, if there's need of the Bootloader Code for unlocking it on a Honor V10?
Also, if I need to add a phone that's in similar state as this phone (LG Stylus 2 Plus, currently not supported by LG for unlocking with their tool), can I send everything that you may need for making the tool compatible with it?
Thanks in advance!
i tried today on my honor view 10 to unlock bootloader, cant work

What's posted below is a work in progress, but it should suffice to unblock efforts to build custom ROMs for this inexpensive tablet. Many thanks to @mehanik6 on 4PDA for blazing the trail.
Notes:
The current process requires you to reset to factory defaults to remove file-based encryption. Remember to backup your data!
Custom kernels are specific to OEM releases, and rely on the latest posted kernel source.
This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't mess with the bootloader, you should be able recover from any problems...but nothing is guaranteed.
Not working:
Support for file-based encryption
Downloads:
twrp-3.5.0_9-0-T290XXU3BTI2-20210102.tar.md5 (Odin tarball)
twrp-3.5.0_9-0-T290XXU3BTI2-20210102.img
Build archives:
Android File Host
Change Log:
v3.5.0_9-0: (2021-01-02)
Updated to T290XXU3BTI2 posted kernel source.
Updated to TWRP 3.5.0 release built from android-9.0 branch.
v3.4.0-1: (2020-12-09)
New custom T290XXS3ATC1 kernel that actually fixes MTP support.
v3.4.0-0: (2020-12-04)
Included legacy aboot and vaultkeeper in tarball to allow Odin flash on Android 10 OEM firmware.
v3.4.0-0: (2020-11-01)
Initial release based on T290XXS3ATC1 OEM kernel
Fixed MTP support
Instructions:
From OEM stock firmware:
Unlock bootloader
Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode
Install TWRP to AP with Odin
Hold Power & Vol Up buttons during restart to enter TWRP recovery
Install latest Multidisabler from TWRP
Wipe->Format Data
Reboot to system
From existing TWRP install: (No need for data wipe.)
Hold Power & Vol Up during restart to enter TWRP recovery
Tap Install->Install Image, select your image (.img) file, pick Recovery partition, and then swipe to install
Reboot to system
What about rooting with Magisk?
These images are not supplied pre-rooted with Magisk, since it's against the terms of use laid out by Magisk's developer, John Wu. To root the TWRP image yourself, simply use Magisk Manager to Select and Patch a File. More details on this process are available from @ianmacd's topic for the Galaxy S10 series here.

Yes, I've been requesting this since I got my SM-T290 in mid-October (when it went on sale for $89 at Costco) and Samsung finally posted it on Monday, along with the SM-T500. I'm actually building the custom kernel right now and should have an update for TWRP and a Nexus Stock custom ROM very soon.
UPDATE: Samsung seems to have changed the bootloader in Android 10 so that it won't support custom recovery even if the bootloader is unlocked and we substitute an empty vbmeta.img. This is another one of those Samsung VaultKeeper "features" that I find infuriating.
UGH!! I own both of these tablets (290 and 500) and just rooted the 500. I was hoping there would be some some custom ROMs coming out early next year for the 500.
Well, at least with the SM-T290 we can roll back to the Android 9 bootloader (minimally aboot and vaultkeeper), but that might not be an option with the SM-T500. We'll find out this weekend when I attempt to build TWRP for that newer tablet, which released with Android 10 and dynamic partitions.
The fact that you've been able to root the SM-T500 is promising, since Majisk modifies the recovery partition to do that.
Does this work with the Kids Edition of the SM-T290?
Really disappointed with this tablet, I figured since it only allows the user less than 32 gigs of space I could use an SD card in order for my daughter to download all the games she wants... only to find out there is no possible way to move any app to the SD whatsoever, actually the option to move apps to sd is not even greyed out it's just gone completely.
Doesn't seem to be many roms for the t290 available, and or if any roms out there could force that option back in.

My Nexus Stock custom ROMs do allow formatting the SD as internal so that you can store apps on it (although there are performance issues with SD vs. EMMC to consider). I've already got this working on Android 9, but was holding out for the Android 10 kernel source to be posted so that we can roll out on the latest OEM firmware. This issue with the Q bootloader is a setback, but I expect that we'll be able to work around it.
The Kid's edition is just a characteristic of the OEM firmware you install, and the hardware is identical, so you should be fine after you upgrade to T290XXU3BTI2. If you really want the Kid's Edition splash screen, I suspect that T290UEU3BTI3 will work with custom ROMs based on T290XXU3BTI2 just fine.

Oh ok thanks for breaking that down for me, I just was worried it wouldn't be compatible.
I would love to have a Nexus like experience on this thing, the more vanilla and pure Android, the better to me.
Would games on the sd card still play? Thats really my biggest reason as my daughter has already maxed out her space on it.
The last rooting/flashing I've done is from years back on an S3 and S5. I wish I could say my memory was good enough to feel confident about doing it.
So it would be unlock oem on developer mode, hook it up to a correct version of odin to put twrp in, then from twrp install magisk and also flash the rom right? I know I'm missing a ton of little details but just wanted to see what I could remember .
Thanks for your help
Quick Note: I just modified the Odin tarball to include legacy aboot and vaultkeeper images so that you can flash this custom recovery on Android 10 OEM firmware releases. The recovery image itself is unchanged.

Well, a custom ROM and rooting a ROM are two very different things. You can look at my Nexus Stock custom ROM for the 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510) and see that it's very similar to Pixel Experience custom ROMs. Both are attempts to reproduce the "pure Nexus" experience, but with more modern Pixel boot animations, backgrounds, and Google apps.
Rooting can generally be done for any ROM now using Magisk to allow you to make changes, and there's a pretty good tutorial on that for the Galaxy Tab A7 here. My personal preference is not to root the system partition, but to simply make any changes using the TWRP File Manager where you already have root access.

Oh ok, i see.
Your Nexus rom for the SM-T510 looks awesome! Also, that Tab A7 tutorial is great.
On your original post, the first 2 downloads you have, the first one, "twrp-3.4.0-0-T290UES3ATC1-20201204.tar.md5 (Odin tarball)" that puts the custom recovery on the phone via ODIN. The second download, "twrp-3.4.0-0-T290UES3ATC1-20201101.img", is your Nexus Stock Rom for the T290, and is run from the TWRP recovery itself.
Does your T290 feel more responsive - less laggy with your Nexus rom?

Samsung doesn't do flashing via fastboot, so the .img file is really only for incremental updates via TWRP.

I think so, but I might be biased and I haven't had time to run any performance tests. I just posted the first release, though, so you can judge for yourself.
BTW, the $89 Costco deal is back until 12/27.
Quick question, I am having an issue using Smart Switch to make backups for my T500 on my Win10 machine. Seems like it just started and hangs up on applications. Any ideas? Want to install a few Magisk modules but want a back up first.

Wow and a free 32GB SD card. Awesome deal! I got mine for $99 from BestBuy with no card.
Would this work on the LTE variants (SM-T295)? I have one of those and I'm kinda tired of the performance issues plaguing One UI on that tablet. :/

I've been told that it does, but I haven't confirmed it myself because I don't have an SM-T295.

Okay, apparently the forum now forks a thread if you change the title. Bug or feature?
The new thread for TWRP v3.5.0 on the SM-T290 is here.
Any chance to get a working TWRP for latest stock firmware as of now?

Special Notes:
1. DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE "OEM UNLOCK" (located in Developers options).
2. KNOX will be tripped once you flashed custom binaries to your phone.
(Your warranty may be voided. However this may not affect you if your country forces Samsung to provide hardware warranty regardless of software status.)
3. Samsung Firmware OTA (aka System Updates) will no longer work once you flashed custom binaries.
(You can flash custom ROMs if you want to keep the OS up-to-date.)
4. All apps that use KNOX like Samsung pay, Secure Folder and maybe more will no more work
How to install:
Coming From Stock:
1. Download This TWRP Release and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip

Android 10, UI 2.0, are there any problems with rooting? Magisk or SU?

I can help with that. I know what it feels like having no TWRP and custom rom. But you still need to test the TWRP. Because I don't have A600FN, and the LCD on my A6+ broke so I don't own a device launched in 2018. OK with testing?

Thanks, ill hope there will be some users which ow the Galaxy A6 and not using this device as their main phone to be willing to test.
As a IT specialist myself i did try anything to at least help testing for this version of TWRP for our device. I did try to take several rom dumps with professional fabric software and hardware like software dongles but it was impossible to make a full rom dump.
With this said and knowing that a complete data wipe within TWRP is necessary to make the recovery find the internal storage makes it impossible for me to test no matter the fact that the biggest part of this recovery already exist and confirmed working.
I have A600FN and I could test that as soon as my OEM unlock button will be visible (above 10 days passed and still nothing...).

And for those who could test on the A600 the recovery image is already uploaded within this thread thanks to Royna
I've tried that many times (no only that, but many similar guides) - and still nothing. From what I read, Samsung just fixed that "date & time" trick and I have to wait.
Ok that is strange, im on android 10 with One UI version 2.0 and got it working. If im allowed to post this link then the rom could be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a6/firmware/SM-A600FN/PHN/#SM-A600FN
You should do a clean flash without having the phone connected to the internet, not even once because it will do some synchronization. After the flash just follow the guide which could be found on the xda forum..
Thank you for a hint. Because of that I'm waiting so long already I'll wait till end of week and if things still will be the same then I'll try rom you've proposed. Thanks again.

How to downgrade Android 11 to 10

I unfortunately decided to upgrade my Moto G Power 2020 to Android 11 when the update was available and have had many issues most of which is that it is now very slow and battery drain is much higher. Have tried the many suggestions online to help, but none have worked. I found that Android 10 was good and stable. My question is, how can I downgrade my Moto G Power back to Android 10 easily? Can it be done with Moto's Rescue and Smart Assistant? This rescue utility seems to only want to keep the device on Android 11. Please provide step by step instructions how to do this. Thanks.

Thank you sd_shadow. I appreciate your very detailed response and answer. I will try your methods and hopefully be able to return to Android 10. Android 11 seems to currently have a lot of bugs at least with the Moto G Power phone. Wish I had stayed on Android 10.

Once the bootloader is unlocked, find your
Software Channel, it will be like, Retail, RetUS, Verizon, MetroPCS...
You can find your firmware here
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
download. and Unzip it
Check if your device uses fastbootd
Flash option 1
Find the flashfile.xml in the firmware folder
and use the online flashfile converter to get the flash commands
add the fastboot reboot fastboot commands if you have a fasbootd device.
Flash Option 2
Install LMSA
use the rescue option to download the current firmware for your device
move the LMSA firmware to a different folder
rename the Android 10 firmware folder to the same name as LMSA firmware.
Move that folder to the LMSA download folder
Use the rescue option to flash renamed firmware.
There is no guarantee that either method will work, but it should.
On the phone
Toggle off "install updates" option in Dev Options

Thanks a lot sd_shadow
I tried Flash Option 2 using LMSA. Replaced all the Android 11 ROM files in the default download directory folder with official Android 10 ROM files, and then used the rescue option to flash the Android 10 files to the Moto g Power. Everything worked perfectly. I now have Android 10 back on my phone. I keep getting the notification that there is an Android 11 update available but just have to ignore this. Thanks again for your help.

Seems that lmsa doesn't work for some software channels, or if the baseband and the channel don't match.
What does getvar all say?
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Curious.
I managed to downgrade, but can't re-lock the bootloader on Android 10 or else it throws this error and will not boot:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
However, when I reflashed Android 11 and re-locked the bootloader, it boots just fine, without any warnings.
Something, the bootloader itself maybe, must be stuck on 11 and won't let me relock the bootloader when 10 is flashed.
Since I need the bootloader locked so I can pass Playstore security, I guess I'm stuck on Android 11 :\

Magisk Hide should be able to hide the bootloader status
Nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess. I was afraid of doing this whole thing because I'm your typical Problem User who tends to make things worse. Might as well go for root now that I've voided my warranty (not that I cared anyway).
Flashed Android 10 and Magisk got me past playstore security. Everything's working as intended now.
I'm quite surprised at how easy it was, since I had read that Google patched MagiskHide at hardware level sometime ago.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, sd_shadow.

It''s a game of cat and mouse, google introduces new security measures, magisk devs get to working a way around it... There is even a module now that lets you pass full safetynet with xposed and microg.

@JackDHopper. I don't want to brick my Moto G8 Power 2020 running the Havoc 4.8 Android 11 ROM by screwing up a downgrade to Android 10 so I can flash LineageOS 11. So, can you please explain how you did it?
Thanks. Much appreciated.

You dont need to downgrade again. You only downgrade if you flashed stock 11 again. Simply format data and flash the new rom from another custom rom.

@Bettle84 thanks for the reply. I'm running TWRP 3.5.0_10-0. I flashed the img files with fastbootd when i initially installed Havoc and when i upgraded to 4.8. So, do you mean that I can flash the LOS ROM in TWRP on top of Havoc without using fastbootd?
Thanks again

OK. LOS is installed, but I can't find a GAPPS that works. Suggestions?
Thanks

No idea, i havent flashed anything on my g8 in a while
does this work with moto g power 2021, android 11 aint working for me either, always get the systen ui has stopped error and certain apps stop working
this is my model number just to make sure
Hi all!! I been trying to downgrade my moto g power 2021 to Android 10 from 11 and I been reading in this thread. At first I tried the second method of flashing that sd_shadow suggested and it seems after 32% a message that says "flash single partian, flash failed" pops up.
Then I tried the first method. I tried making the flashall.bat file and put it in the sdk tools directory as the steps said in the fast boot forum. It didn't work when I double clicked so then I put my supposed firmware zip files (that I got from the lolinet website above) inside the sdk tool directory (unzipped) and Android 10 actually installed. I skipped all the steps after factory reset so I can go into devmode and turn off automatic updates. However when I tried turning on my WiFi, the phone would crash and restart and it would do that everytime it tried to connect to the WiFi. Even after I factory reset my device again the same problem persisted. I managed to use lmsa to go back to 11. What can I do to fix this downgrade issue?
After 1.5 full days of many attempts to downgrade from A11 to A10, fastbootd is the answer! I used Motorola-XML-To-Batch-Script-master with stock firmware from bootloader with nothing but boot loops. went into fastbootd just for the hell of it and ran the bat and boom! back to stock 10!
