I wanted to flash a recovery, get a custom rom because I hate MIUI bloatware and I wanted to root my phone. I do have prior experience to rooting phones and getting custom roms. I am thinking of flashing OrangeFox recovery, a debloated rom of MIUI and magisk on my note9s. I just want to get one or 2 things clear before I start. When flashing a new rom or rooting, do you need to flash No-Verity-OPT-Encrypt or not? And also in what order do I flash what, I suppose it would be the custom rom, magisk and the No-Verity-OPT-Encrypt if you need it.
Also, regarding the link for the MIUIEU rom https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/, should I install this one?

I would search this XDA site for your specific model number and specific stock software. You should find a rooting guide that will give you a step by step process that you should follow in that specific order to gain root access. Once you have root access you can go back and do all the customizations you want. I also have a Samsung device and I did a Google search and YouTube search on how to root my particular model. You might find some variations in these instructions, but you will also find commonalities. Notice what those commonalities are and that is a clue to what is necessary in order to achieve root. Hope that helps - Good luck.

Maybe I'm wrong on this but I don't see why people have trouble with root access on a rom. I have just flashed the rom I want be it stock or otherwise and went into recovery and flashed the superuser zip and have root. Am I over simplifying this or is there something I don't get? From my experience if you have a non stock recovery you can get root. Does this not work on all roms?
Yuuuuup
In the past, I've never had to root a phone before flashing roms... I've seen a few tutorials on this phone and it seems after you install recovery, you have to use it to flash root before flashing any custom rom?
Is that true, or can you skip that step? If so, why do you have to root it before flashing over the file system?

No.
The natural progression for most folks is to root and run their phones with stock for a while then get bored and install a rOM, but there's NO reason to root before moving right to a custom ROM
So I'm not really new to the whole custom rom idea...just new to HTC...had a Samsung Galaxy, and an S2 Skyrocket, both with custom recovery/roms on them, but I have a question about the HTC rom install process...
I've just finished unlocking my bootloader.
Custom recovery will be next.
My question: All the tutorials say unlock bootloader, install recovery, install root, then custom rom.
Is it necessary to root before installing the rom? In my Samsung experiences, the custom roms came with root privelages already, so rooting wasn't necessary...does the same hold true here, so I can just drop a new rom in once I've installed the recovery, or will rooting first be a necessity?
Thanks!!!

if you use TWRP Recovery it will offer to root the phone for you on reboot

Hey guys,
I have just recently purchased my Galaxy S6 Edge. It's a decent phone aside from a lot of bloatware, massive battery drainage etc.
What I would like to do is get the deodexed XtreStoLite rom on my device, have it rooted on 5.1.1 with SuperSu (I would like to keep the fingerprint scanner working if possible) and install recovery such as CWM or TWRP. I am not too bothered about Knox being tripped, I don't plan to ever use Samsung Pay so the efuse being blown doesn't bother me.
I just would like to know the order of how to flash/install these. Do I flash the rom first? Then use rooting software such as Ping Pong? Or CF Root? Do I install the recovery BEFORE root? Etc etc.
If you guys could help me with this that would be great!
Flash recovery via ODIN https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765202
Flash custom kernel with auto root via TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347808102
Reboot to check root.
Flash ur new rom via TWRP
Flash custom kernel again.
Enjoy
Hey, is it the same procedure if I want to use CWM rather than TWRP?
Also, there does appear to be a UniKernel v8-0002 ODIN FLASHABLE. I assume process would then be flash with Odin, reboot to check root, flash new rom with Odin, then flash the kernel again with Odin.
If that is the case then no recovery would be required right?
Make sure drivers are installed first especially if using windows 10 I would use 8.1 or 7 I also had problems downloading original stock firmware this is required first just incase you brick your device

Thank you guys, I managed it quite easily, although guys, if you feel the need to wipe your caches from within TWRP, don't put a cross in the system option thinking it won't hurt anything, it wiped my android and had to reflash stock rom lmao.
All is well though now, got the UniKernel (rooted) with XtreStoLite deodexed on my S6 Edge with no issues, latest modem and bootloader files too. Fingerprint lock capable right out of the box. I'm a happy camper, now to get it loaded with Nova launcher and all the other goodies. Anyone recommend any of their favourite apps?
Also what frameworks you recommend? Xposed etc?
do u have fingerprint work after root and recovery and which files u use and the method ... thanx
Could someone provide me with an easy guide to rooting, installing recovery and installing a custom rom on my S2? I1900 version.
I'm wanting to put a KK rom on it but I'm confused about which recovery to use and the best method for rooting.

I read your post on another thread you said you have flashed siyah kernel, so you are already rooted. You just need to use a "kitkat compatible" recovery such as CWM 6.0.4.5+ or TWRP 2.7+ to flash kitkat roms
Just a quick google search for "kitkat compatible recovery" gave me this one. Just download the CWM .zip, flash it from siyah recovery, then reboot to recovery(not system), then do your wipes/backups and flash the rom and gapps you want and reboot to system. Done
will give this a go!
