Hey guys,
I mangaged to install a custom ROM on my 9s Note (Curtana). Now I want to install the MIUI stock camera (48mp) module because the one which comes with the rom is quite poor on options. I have many confusions about the next steps and hope to find some help. I posted my questions on the thread of the ROM but unfortunatly did not get any response.
My questions are:
Is it correct that I need now to change the stock recovery to a custom one, for example TWRP in order to install custom addons?
Then I need to install Magisk which is used to install this custom ´addons´?
If this both are installed, will I be a SU automatically?
Will my banking apps still work or stuff like Spotify, WhatsApp? It does now on the custom rom which is amazing.
Is it possible to backup the original recovery partition? Then at any point in the future go back to it?
Can I install the stock MIUI ROM 11 or 12 with a custom recovery?
I would be so thankful if somebody could help me!
Cheers,
Cho
1) if you have installed a custom ROM, chances are you did it with a custom recovery.
2) some addons require root privileges, which can be had with magisk
3)yes, having magisk installed successfully means yiu will have rot privileges
4) banking apps, google own safety net checks and magisk are in a constant race of outpacing each other, magisk seems to be loosing now with tighter controls in newer android version. so dont expect your banking apps to work with magisk anymore.
5) it is probable on some devices with mature development not sure with this
6) not in its stock form, usually people build alternate builds of stock ROM that can be flashed with custom recoveries.

hey guys,
So I decided to install a custom rom and as I understand I need to root the phone and install a custom recovery but I don't want to brick my phone.
When I searched for how to do that for the alpha I found several methods like kingroot and ODIN.
I installed G850FXXU1COI1 manually using ODIN.
My question is what is the surest way to root and install a recovery for the alpha (850F model) ?
First of all, what is your galaxy alpha model, and yes, the first step is to install root app like super su, then you can look for custom recovery that is the most essential tool for installing custom rom.

It's the 850F model.
And mentioning the root, does the phone stay rooted even after installing a new rom ?
UP!
150 members saw this thread and not one of them has rooted his phone before ?!!
If I remember correctly:
- First instal twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-openrecovery-twrp-2-8-sm-g850f-t2931017
- root with chainfire autoroot https://download.chainfire.eu/529/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.zip
- now you can install a custom rom
Good luck
Hi everyone,
Well, I came to you because actually I'm out of idea.
I was since 3 years on custom ROM (CM and Lineage OS) and due to substratum, I had a bootloop.
My problem is quite particular, after a total clean of my device and flashing the stock ROM, custom recovery cause me some trouble.
Whatever I try (CWM touch 6 or TWPR 3.1.1), I can't flash custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1), TWPR or CWM crash 1 second after the flash command and reboot, with disable touchscreen and even by using old navigation way and try again, same problem.
Tried also to disable file signature check but no effect.
Quick summary about what I did:
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
- ROM stock used: I9505XXUHOJ2 ( the build which is based on the CF-Root file i used)
- Tried to install CWM by ROM Manager and ODIN (v3.09)
- TWPR installed by TWPR App using file in .img and not the second option (tar.img) for LTE Internationnal Qualcomm.
-Checked the root before last attemptwith root checker and it was ok.
In advance thanks for your help and I really hope it's not too serious.
By the way, sorry for my english, it's not my native language

I don't have this variant but, this looks like it may be a recovery issue so your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187
If it's a LineageOS issue, then your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

If all else fails, you can try posting your question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Thanks for advice
I will post in the S4 forum section hoping someone already know a fix or a way to dodge this problem.
But I have small questions before:
I saw some threads about CWM and TWPR recovery "for" I9505, is there a huge difference between them and their basic version ?
And finally, I saw some threads on TWPR 3.+ issue for some devices.
An installation of an older version of TWPR or CWM could be a good way to explore the problem source ? (the stock ROM I use even after updates is quite old in terms of Android versions and patch)
Have a good day

Sorry had a bug and got a double post
Hey,
i always rooted my old phones to get the latest android versions when they were out of support. Now my bank told me i need to use phototan, but i don't want this app on my daily phone. So i thought i can use one of my old once and just install that app. Since there is no need to have internet access to use the app, that'd work. But the problem is, that the app requires Android 5+ and does not accept rooted phones. My old one has 4.2.2 so is it possible to get a custom rom without root? Or do i always need root with custom roms?
And if it is possible, all (or at least the most) custom roms come automatically with root, how can i remove it?

No need of root for that..
Flash magisk and flash magisk uninstaller to remove root from pre-rooted roms..
Searching since yesterday and proceeding ahead is making me confused..
Few Procedures I understood some were confusing, here are my questions.
My Phone details: Check attached hardware details, image format too please.
Unlocked bootloader, yesterday, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL XDA USERS.
1. Should i proceed with twrp + root 1 click, its way to easy and no confusions here.
.2. Should i proceed with magisk, Since on stock rom and just unlocked bootloader, unsure how to proceed here..
Please guide on best option, after doing this bit work, I have many purchased apps (thanks to XDA TEAM and all contributors) which I shall try on phone..
If satisfied, or wanna try custom ROMs, I will make another question..
Thanks and appreciate the volutary hard work of this great community.
Regards,
Flash Twrp then Flash A Custom rom assuming you've unlocked bootloader to flash a custom rom then gapps then flash magisk
Here are some suggestions
Miui Pro Gsi Oreo
Aex Pie/Oreo
Bootleggers Pie

On the snapdragon G965U and G965U1 -> Not possible
Snapdragon G9650 variant is rootable, so I would imagine once rooted (and TWRP installed) you can install a custom rom.
Pretty sure the Exynos variants you need to root (and install TWRP on) the phone. I personally haven't seen or heard anything that says this phone will let you install a custom rom without root.
Can't answer the apps part... Atypically in my rooting days I used an xposed mod that hid the fact I rooted my phone from apps and they worked. Some didn't because no matter what I did they detected a modified phone. Using a custom rom makes it harder to say if apps will work as the answer depends on how well the rom's code works with the apps.
It depends on the app... if just rooting is checked they will work but if rom needs to be certified aka official they won't (e.g. GPay).
