Frist time flashing android - Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers

I have a samsung J6 (SM-J600G) running stock samsung android 11.
I would like to flash 64bit custom rom to my phone.
As far as I know, I have to
1 backup and wipe everything
2 unlock bootloader
3 flash custom recovery
4 flash rom
5 flash vendor
I have found this (system-roar-arm64-aonly-gapps.img.xz) and this, which seem to be the things I need, and I will probably use twrp for recovery.
Am I all set or did I miss anything, this is my first time flashing android so I want to be extra careful.

Please tell me if the folloeing steps are correct
1 backup, enable adb, OEM unlock
2 download mode, flash twrp with odin (.tar)
3 recovery mode, wipe
4 flash rom (.img.xz file)
5 flash vendor (.zip file)

Simple steps:
1. Go in fastboot mode.
2. Flash official twrp.
3. Boot in recovery.
4. Flash supersu zip.
5. Reboot your phone.
And yeah, allow modification to system partition when asked in recovery. The only downside of the official recovery is that it will be replaced by the stock recovery on boot. No prob, you can flash it again. No need to flash custom cooked boot image or something.
To keep recovery forever:
In system partition, there will be a file next to build.prop, named something like recovery-boot-bak or something, delete it and then flash twrp and this time it will stay.

After flashing for ex. Resurrection Remix (or any other custom rom) the device asks whether it should leave an old recovery or not. Flashing official miui zip doesn't touch the recovery at all.
So it's not necessary to delete any files (regarding my experience).

Sony Z2 Help

Im new into rooting so i succesfully unlocked my bootloader and installed the twrp recovery via flash now i have the problem that my phone always boots into the recovery mode no matter what, i have a sonyz2 D6503 andriod 6.0.1 i follow a tutorial on youtube . now i have read a few threads that it is wrong to install twrp with fastboot flash boot C/:whaterver.img i should have done it with fastboot flash recovery C/:whatever.img . Im kinda stuck now and i have no idea what to do moreover im kinda scared to do something, because it can cause more damage that i already have.
im kinda sorry for my horrible english i hope you can understanf this trouble
If you want to proceed back to stock ROM, flash stock FTF using flashtool (download link and instructions can be found inside my signature), with KERNEL and SYSTEM checked, other leave other options intact.
If you want to flash another non-stock ROM, flash an advanced kernel via fastboot toolbox inside the flashtool I mentioned above, then you can flash the ROM using the TWRP inscribed with the advanced kernel.
If you want to proceed to stock ROM but rooted and with other MODs installed, there are two ways to do so:
Easier method:
Flash an advanced kernel then use the pre-installed TWRP to flash the SuperSU.zip or whatever MOD zips.
Complex method:
Restore stock kernel using flashtool mentioned above, then flash the TWRP (recovery) image (you can get one HERE) using a cmd on PC or Laptop with ADB and flastboot drivers installed, typein:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.IMG
then you can boot into the TWRP to flash whatever MODs you want.

As always, do more research before entering into tweaking things, noobness can be fatal!

First you need to unlock your bootloader which almost take 3 to 4 days generally but in my case it take about 10 days to get permission from MI after which I am able to unlock my bootloader after that you have to download ADB and fastboot at your PC then you have to use it to change your stock recovery to custom recovery and once you successfully changed your stock recovery to custom recovery the only thing you need to do is to flash a magisk root file which would be in zip format through your custom recovery then after flashing the root file put your phone into recovery mode and then flash lazyflasher zip file as in my case I come to know that MI UI doesn't support custom recovery because of which you need to flash lazy flasher.
Note after flashing the custom recovery do not boot your phone into system mode rather than boot it to the recovery again or you can simply wipe Dalvik and cache and then flash the lazyflasher otherwise it will stuck while booting which happens in my case also I suggest you to wipe Dalvik and cache partitions after flashing any zip through your custom recovery
Note- I am not an expert this is what I had experienced while experimenting with my redmi Note 4 so don't blame me if anything goes wrong you can browse YouTube for many such tutorials. Hope it will help you
You must try few times. I tryied 3 times, success First and second time booting mi-recovery, not twrp so i tryied flash once again. Also miui 10.
Since you didnt provide much information. If you have unlocked Bootloader (ignore this)
If you have to unlock the Bootloader, check this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459
It will take a maximum of 3 days if you read and do needful properly, in case it does not works, Redmi sends a message to wait for specific hours wait additional 1 hour in case required and try again.
After all Bootloader thing, follow this simple steps,

Unable to flash the stock fastboot ROM via Mi Flash tool.

For whatever reason I can't budge the tool to flash the latest fastboot ROM on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that I plan to sell since my new phone arrived today. A custom ROM from the last year is currently installed on the device.
I installed the latest Universal ADB drivers, installed the latest Mi Flash tool (2020.3.14.0), put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC via USB 2.0 port and tried to flash the latest fastboot stable ROM via the tool with "clean all" option and most of the time what happens when I hit the flash button, the fastboot logo on the phone disappears and in the left top corner a small white text "hit any button to restart" or something like that appears. Only once a progress bar appeared with $fastboot bla bla bla II echo missmatching image and device" and that was it... no progress, again the white text prompting me to hit any button to restart appeared on the screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? cmonBruh
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 64/4 Global (platina with custom ROM installed) Windows 10 Pro 1909, MSI B350M Bazooka with AMD Ryzen 5 2600.
Hello.. I will try to help you.. And tell me if you fixed that..
Can you install a custom recovery? Twrp?
Id you can do that fallow my steps..
First download the fallowing twrp from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14cRc4UG4hzL45cDhdFZ7odr5Kb8LSai0/view
It can support ota update and your phone will boot I used it to flash my mi 8 lite without pc. And works!
Download and flash that twrp using mi flash tool. I hope your bootloader is unlocked if you already have other twrp installed simply flash the twrp zip file. And update your recovery. If you don't have any twrp installed simply rename. Zip file into .img file and flash it with flash tool. If you can't flash it using flash tool try to install any other twrp and then install the zip and update the twrp
After you installed twrp go and download recovery Rom from here :
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
Download the first rom called : V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM (1.8GB zip file)
( Recovery
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM_5574e03233_10.0.zip
Filesize
1.8G
MD5
5574e032330450c44c34d7f054de477b
Link
Download (Download to Mi Router)
Press download. Not download to mi router and don't forget.. Download the recovery zip file not the fast boot update!
After you downloaded boot in to twrp which I gave you above, wipe system / data / vendor / cache/dalvik and flash the zip file.
You can flash it with and without to wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe. Pls go try and install it without to wipe anything, if it works ( for me works!) after flash done boot the phone and see if there is any problem. If u got any bugs or problems perform a clean flash wipe all and then flash!
Id you want root.. Fallow this :
You can root your phone with latest magisc manager using the same twrp. After you flash the boot.img with twrp press restart phone. If it won't restart go again to recovery and format only your data. And your will phone will boot again and you will get root acces. It's the only way to root android 10.
Please let me know if you fixed that problem.. And you flashed successfully the Rom..
DON'T FLASH THE ROM USING ANOTHER TWRP! ONLY THAT RECOVERY I GIVE SUPPORT OTA UPDATE AND CAN BYPASS THE XIAOMI Verification FOR THE STOCK ROM.. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TWRP YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN Boot! Orange fox or any other twrp won't work!
I used this method and works like a charm
