Hey guys,
I noticed no one talked about this issue on forums or in an article, so I decided to post my solution that it worked for me. I will try to explain as much as I can. I also wanna say that I am not a developer. Before I start.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ON YOUR DEVICE OR ANYTHING HAPPEN TO IT WHAT SO EVER. IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE, ITS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY
Read all the way to the end
This is for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 T-Mobile (SGH-T889). I didnt try it on other variants but I believe it should work. Anyway, this method is for stock ROM only. I no longer support custom ROMs. If you wanna try it with a custom ROM then good luck. I hope it works for you.
Here is what I did:
1. Make sure you have Stock ROM 4.1.2 (UVBMD1). If you dont then go here http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
2. Root your device. I used ChainFire method. Here is a "How to" http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-t-mobile-sgh.html
3. Try to connect. If it didnt work then download Triangle Away from "Play Store".
4. Go into Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
5. Try to connect now. It should work for sure ^_^
Optional:
If you want Custom Recovery then:
6. Install the Custom Recovery you want. I tried TWRP
7. Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
8. Try to connect. It should work
If anyone have a question please let me know. I will be more than glad to help you guys.
If I helped you please Press Thanks and Good Luck :fingers-crossed:
Note: I noticed when I go to TWRP. The dongle don't work again. So, I use Triangle Away one more time and things works back perfectly.
Did this work with a custom kernel? In my experience it must be stock. I'd ve happy to find out I am wrong.

I didnt think about it previously. It seems you were right. It is the stock kernel. So right now i am wandering if I can flash a custom kernel. So my phone will be like this:
Custom ROM (Jedi Master 13)
Custom Kernel
Stock boot img
Is it possible?
By the way, what can you do with a custom kernel beside increasing the cpu from 1600 to 1920? btw I am just asking because I really didnt do that much research on kernel yet. Plus, Note 2 is my first android phone :cyclops:

In my experience no, the syscope service verifies the kernel, lack of superuser access, the sysscope binary itself, among other things. I tried a stock kernel with only init.d support added and that failed.
I have custom recovery (TWRP) and SuperSU. Triangle Away works wonders with flashing and SuperSU. There is a "sysscope blaster" module for the xposed framework that can help with more heavily modded custom ROMs. Both didn't help when I ran a custom kernel on an otherwise stock ROM.
I wanted a custom kernel primarily for init.d support to plug the data leak in my firewall app. I was also interested in overclocking and undervolting. Init.d support I manage through a workaround, so in my case I am only without OC/UV. SetCPU even on the stock kernel is a fair alternative here.
Same here I had an iPhone 3GS before this.

I've also been looking for a way to do all of this and will try your steps. But last time I checked, Jedi Master rom does not have the AllShare Cast utility in it. How did you get the Allshare connection utility into Jedi Master?

Hey guys,
Here is what I did:
1. Rooted my stock ROM 4.1.2 using Galaxy note 2 Toolkit 4.1.0 "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956".
2. Installed Custom Recovery "TWRP"
3. Flashed Custom ROM "Jedi Master 13"
4. Did a Back-up using TWRP to my external SD card (Very Recommended)
5. Download and flashed "Stock boot img" for T-mobile note 2 SGH-T889. To flash the stock boot img, you can use the Toolkit:
a. Enter your phone# (My phone was #72)
b. Enter Root/Unroot option (# 2)
c. Enter #6 to flash the stock ROM related to your phone model#
d. Then follow instructions...
6. Now download and use "Triangle Away" to do its magic. I checked my flash counter and it was "1". Its alright

Maybe (probably!) I'm confused, but if you flash JM in step 3, then later flash the stock rom in step c, won't that overwrite your JM installation?
I apologize and wanna thank you for correcting me.
I meant "Stock Boot img"

So step c is flash stock recovery, not stock rom? So when do you flash TWRP in your process?

I see you corrected the steps, so thanks for that! Still wondering about how you got the Allshare Cast connection utility into Jedi Master? AFAIK, he removes it. Thanks.
Guys it's stock boot img. It's NOT stock rom neither recovery. I did a mistake. I replay to u on the fly... but I am 100%sure it's stock boot img.

Edit: Never mind on this, just opened toolkit (which I haven't used in a long time) and I see it's right there. Still wondering about Allshare Cast in JM.
No worries, we got it! But one more question, if you don't mind. Where are you getting the stock boot img? Is this a flashable zip from somewhere, or is this done in Odin in the toolkit? Really appreciate all your work!
Success!
Hey, just wanted to report that I went through the steps and installed JM13, and then used toolkit to push the stock boot image. And sure enough, it all works! Turns out I missed AllShare Cast in JM13 before because it wasn't in the toggles. BUT, there is a widget for it that you can drag to a home screen. Tested it out and works great with the dongle. Thanks for posting all this!
Edit: I should add that anyone doing this should know that some of the kernel-related tweaks in JM will not work without it's own Saber kernel installed. So after pushing the stock boot image, which overwrites Saber and restores the stock kernel, Voodoo sound for sure does not work, and probably some of the Jedi cpu tweaks, haven't tried those.
I just came back home to replay ur previous post. I am very glad that it worked for u. I hope this trick will work on all custom roms based on touchwize. If there is a tester out to try my method that will be great.
I also hope this thread become sticky. Because there isn't anyone online that wrote a solution for it.
Thanks

I think the big issue with this working on any custom rom is gonna be the kernel issue. JM is custom but still pretty close to stock. Or at least closer than probably any other rom. So pushing the stock kernel instead of the one the rom dev provided could cause some pretty bad things on some roms that really depend on the kernel.
The best part of this trick is to have rooted ROM and AllShare cast dongle. It's much better than stock ROM not rooted. So now u can enjoy root features which everyone needs and a big screen with ur phone desktop.

I hope it works for you guys and also hope my explanation was sufficient. If you have any questions please let me know, I will try to answer them. And if it worked for you with a different custom ROM please let me know as well.

Thank you very much for your kind and sharing it with us.
I just bought the Allshare Cast Dongle, and I'm having a real problem with this dang thing. I went from iphone3 to GN2, so I'm very noob on rooting stuff, so please bare with me.
I follwed the youtube video to root my device to TRWP custom rom/recovery, but it wont work with Allshare Cast Dongle since it is a custom rom. I did some research and people said I have to use Triangle Away to reset the binary counter to 0, so i did that, but my binary counter was still at 1! It still didnt work with Allshare Cast Dongle.
Then I used Triangle Away again to reset the binary counter, and then went into Odin Download Mode to flash the Stock Recovery. The dang Allshare Cast Dongle still didnt work!
I did remove some bloatwares before, so I'm not sure if this has to do with it.
Is there anyway you or someone can help me solve this problem?
Also, whats the difference between stock recovery and stock boot,
and could you give me the link to the Stock boot file?
I have T-mobile GN2 and I really dont want to unroot and do the factory reset... I have alot of stuff on my phone.
Thank you very much

According to your description you did one mistake in your steps.
You need to flash Stock BOOT img and keep the Custom Recovery. The Custom Recovery is very useful tool. You can flash Custom ROMs, Themes, or any .zip file.
After you flashing stock boot img, then you will use Triangle Away. As I mentioned in my OP, even if you still have the counter on 1, it doesn't matter.
After you boot into the system just go ahead and connect to Allshare Cast Dongle.
I hope it will work for you. Anyway let me know if you have any problem.
Good Luck

Thank you for replying.
is it possible that you give me the link to Tmobile SGH-T889 stock Boot img?
Also, since I have already flashed the stock recovery, is it going to be a problem when flashing Stock Boot img with Odin?
After I flashed the stock recovery, my phone status still says modified, so I'm not sure if I'm on stock or custom recovery now.
You said you flashed stock boot img on top of your Jedi Master 13,
Do you know if it is safe for me to flash the Jedi Master 13 first and then flash the stock boot img?
thanks alot

First I am still not responsible to anything happen to your device. but here is the way that I would do it on my own device:
1. Flash Custom Recovery TWRP. to make it easier for you to flash a custom ROM (Jedi Master 13).
2. Flash Jedi Master 13
4. Flash Stock Boot Img. as for the file, Galaxy note 2 Toolkit will download those files for you. Follow the instructions on the toolkit and you should be able to flash the Stock Boot img.
5. use the Triangle Away. it doesnt matter if the flash counter=1 nor Modified. The reason we are using Triangle Away because it "resets binaries".
6. After that connect to your Dongle
Note: After doing all the steps. if you went to the Custom Recovery in the future for any reason, you will have to use Triangle Away again. I noticed when every-time i go to custom recover to do something, I wont be able to connect to AllShare cast dongle. So use Triangle away to reset your binaries and you should be fine.
let me know if worked for you or if you have any other questions. I am glad to help

Thank you very much for the details step by step instructions.
I've flashed stock recovery before, but I do not think my phone is on stock recovery because I have removed some bloatwares after I rooted, so i believe Samsung did not allow me to switch back to stock recovery unless I do the factory reset, and then flash stock firmware.
However, I'm not sure if that was the case since I dont know how to check my phone to see if it's still on custom or stock recovery
After I flashed the stock recovery, my phone still boots up and works just like I had before.
I think I just need to flash the Jedi Madter 13 without having to flash TWRP custom recovery again.
As far as Stock Boot .img, I dont see any option that says Stock Boot .img anywhere on gn2 toolkit, I only saw
option#3: Flash insecure Boot image Only, for adb access.. is this the right option on GN2 toolkit menu?
I'm sorry to ask you so many questions, but I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing because I cant really afford another GN2
Thanks alot for your patience helping me.

Sorry for the late respond, I have a lot of work these day. Anyway, in order to solve your issue. you need to go back to the way your phone was on the first day you got it. Which means, everything stock. Then go to my OP and start from there.
This might help you to go back to everything Stock.
NOTE: this link is for International Model. It should be just fine for T-Mobile version but make sure you download the RIGHT FIRMWARE for
T-Mobile model (SGH-T889). One more thing, watch the video all the way to end make sure you understand then do it step by step.
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Note: Custom Recovery is used to flash custom ROMs and do nand back-up, also some other useful things. So, I strongly recommend that you keep custom recovery.
I really hope this will help you. I guarantee if you went back to stock and follow the steps then your phone should be connected to the dongle.
Good luck:fingers-crossed:
If you bumped into problems let me know as well. happy to help

This morning I decided it was time for flash count clear/un-root / back to stock
I searched forum for hours finally finding something tucked away from clear view that would give me results I seeked.
This method took me about 10 min , successfully clearing count , doing away with root giving me factory out of the box ready for ATT store exchange if needed.
Many thanks to cortez.

@CF - donation made for your efforts with the "keep it simple root method"! this is the easiest method to root and then unroot that i've used. right after i rooted my device, i installed GooManager, flashed TWRP and began customizing my device. however, after a couple of days with my GN2, i've determined i'm not the targeted user for this device, so i unrooted and returned to att. this is a solid device, super fast, fluid with unlimited potential! In my case, I simply prefer the size of my S3.
my unroot, return to stock rom, stock recovery and Normal device status are listed below. AS ALWAYS I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FUBAR's YOUR DEVICE. i'm simply posting for informational purposes only. (not sure all of the steps below are are necessary):
Reboot to TWRP recovery to complete a factory reset
Used CF's method to re-root and reinstall the stock recovery (e.g., method listed in 2nd Post of this thread).
Purchased & installed Triangle-Away from market
Used Triangle-Away to reset the counter
After reboot (from step 4) uninstalled Triangle Away
Via SuperSU, used the Full Unroot option to unroot. Checked GN2 Device Status and it said Modified
Booted into stock recovery performed a factory reset.
After device rebooted, checked Device Status again and it said Normal
Returned the device to att corp store; att checked and confirmed device status (as Normal) and issued a refund.
CF, thanks again for your efforts!

Nice just what i needed to return my note 2 for replacement unit.
Not working for me
I tried this, to the letter, it didn't work.
I never did anything other than rooting using CF-auto root to root so I could restore from Titanium Backup.
I'm on the i317M.
I did a factory reset through the stock recovery (Would TWRP make a difference?), re-rooted using CF-auto root, installed Triangle Away, ran it, did a full unroot through SU, did another factory reset and still, device shows modified.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I desperately want to go back to stock.
EDIT: TriangleAway says: "on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!" - I am on a stock firmware! But it doesn't reset my status. In download mode, it still says "custom" - annoying!

Yes TWRP could play factor.
If in your shoes I would,
Chainfire root.
Install TWRP using Goomanager
Make back up in TWRP then reboot device.
Boot into TWRP and install recovery
From there follow direction in op to get stock.

What do you mean by "Boot into TWRP and install recovery"? Flash the stock recovery while in TWRP? Why do this if CF-autoroot will flash stock recovery anyway?
What I did:
CF-autoroot
Goomanager - install TWRP
Create backup in TWRP
Wipe /data and /cache in TWRP
Reboot into download mode
Flash CF-autoroot (flashes stock recovery)
Run Triangle Away
EDIT: SU Full Unroot (Yes I did this, I forgot to mention)
Check device status - still modified
Factory reset through stock recovery
Check device status - still modified.
What is preventing my device from reading "normal" where others have succeeded? It's puzzling. Anyway, thanks for all your help. I will probably just wait for a stock ODIN flashable firmware to make everything well again.

based on your reply, it appears you missed the step to open the SuperSU app and select the Full Unroot option. once this is done, then perform a factory reset from stock.

Hi everyone!
I have just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110). and I had flashed TWRP and rooted it, HOWEVER, after I tried to boot into recovery using "Quick Boot", the system keeps going into Recovery no matter what.
I have tried to use Odin to reflash the recovery, and I have tried to flash a different custom ROM (StockRom-V1.1-T110) using recovery, but whenever it reboots, it just goes straight to recovery.....
How can I fix this?
Please help!

I have tried to use Odin to reflash the recovery, and I have tried to flash a different custom ROM (StockRom-V1.1-T110) using recovery, but whenever it reboots, it just goes straight to recovery.....
How can I fix this?
Please help!

I didn't know how to just flash the kernal, so I flash the stock firmware with odin.
and everything works now.
download THIS
and extract the file, and use odin to flash it, doesn't take that long, but all the apps and settings will be reset.
To install stock firmware, go to this THREAD, and watch "GALAXY TAB 3 UNBRICK AND RESTORE", great tutorial by Rootjunky

got you and thank you for your time .. now does this other file even matter usually they dont come in these tar zips
SS_DL.dll whats that for
Same situation. I rooted it fine. Installed a custom rom. No issues. Then it asked to update the supersu binary. Did that and now it keeps booting into TWRP no matter what I do. Gonna start fresh and this time I'll not use TWRP to update the binary I guess.
To fix the booting in recovery
flash stock recovery with oodin
now go to stock recovery
select clear cache
it will show error (and recovery crashes) and tab will boot normally.
Hello, first time poster here!
I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and I want to flash CM 11 on it, because the stock Samsung's ROM is very bloated and slow.
I am looking at CM 11 from NovaFusion, which can be found novafusion.pl website.
I have currently downloaded:
cm11.0_codina.nova.20141215.zip
pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150106-signed.zip
I chose pico gapps because I want as less bloat as possible (only actually need Play Store).
The problem is, I don't know what to do next...
Now, I have a few questions:
Can I just flash CM trough the stock/default recovery mode that is already on the phone?
Can I use Odin to flash CM? If so, where is a trusted Odin download?
How do I restore the stock ROM that came with the phone if something goes (terribly :silly wrong?
Is it possible to reset flash counter and any other traces of root & custom ROMs on this phone in case I want to return it to warranty?
I added the "About device" info in the attachment!
1. flash it trough cwm temporary
2. no, you can't. novafusion didn't release Odin package for codina now.
3. backup your stockrom using cwm temporary
4. flashing rom trough cwm not increase flash counter

Thanks a lot for responding!
Can you link me to CWM for this phone?
Also, how does the "temporary" mode work? Does it load up recovery from the microSD card? Just curious.

1. Well, I think the stock recovery doesn't allow you to install zip from sdcard. That's why we use CWM instead (plus it does more things than stock recovery). I recommend CWM
2. No, Custom ROM should be flashed through CWM, I think...
3. You can backup your current ROM (includes apps installed) through CWM and if something goes wrong, you can easily restore it from CWM again. BUT, if somehow you can't get to CWM, you can use ODIN to flash stock ROM and your phone should be back to its original state
4. Yup, it can be done from CWM or ODIN.. same method as in my 3rd answer
PS. I only gave answers to stuff I've done before.. basically, my answers are based on self-experience hope it helps!

Mm.. from what I remember... Temporary CWM will not replace your stock recovery, and you will need to flash the CWM everytime you want to get into CWM Recovery .-.

Here : Temporary CWM.
Thank you everyone, I got CM 11 working easy and nice! :good:
Also, looks like the NovaFusion CM 11 ROM did something to the recovery, now it always boots to CWM even without a microSD card.
Does that mean that I can't get back to old recovery? Can I just flash stock ROM and get it back?
P. S. everything is so damn fast and smooth compared to stock ROM!!!

Yes, Custom ROMs like CM 11 have CWM Recovery or TWRP instead of Stock Recovery because they have functions such as backup your system and more. If you really want to have Stock Recovery then you have to flash Stock ROM using Odin.

Right. Probably that's why most of the people here use Custom ROMs.
I've used Odin 3.07 to flash n900t-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025) but it didn't pass. I'm tired now and I want to go to bed but it bugs me I don't have root.
On 4.2 I think it was easy but on 5.0 it won't work for me, now. I've scoured pages and pages, so for now I am kindly asking for some directions.
Try flashing the latest TWRP and then flash supersu from TWRP to get root.

Thanks, did it, it flashed it but now it gives me "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing". I pulled the battery right after the pass message, no change.
Read in thread about "Reactivation Lock" but I don't have that option in the stock Lollipop 5.0.
Any ideas?
So your phone is not booting? Boot into download mode and tell us what it says.
Oh no, the phone works fine. I can boot into stock Lollipop but it won't boot into recovery (Vol Up). It boots into Odin Vol Down.
All I want is to install su. First I tried to flash CWM recovery with Odin, didn't pass. Then I tried TWRP (their website is down), it passed but got "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" error. So now I'm lost. I think all have to flash a modified ROM but I'm confused about their specs (what is Deoxified)
Wait wait, Oding IS the recovery, no? I'm totally confused now.
Try this: open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the help. I've tried that sequence before. It didn't work. I'll try it again.
But I've managed to install su using Chainfire's Auto Root for Kitkat (but I have Lollipop). Now I have an older recovery. Will that cause any troubles?
What I've learned from my "ordeal" is make sure you have the right versions. In my case particularly the phone model, N900T, and then the software versions, N900TUVUFOB6, where B6 is the Lollipop (right?).
No no no!
I've rebooted into old recovery now my user interface in Lollipop doesn't work. I guess the recovery deleted some cache (noticed some messages at the bottom)
I guess I'll burn the Lollipop + CF Autoroot for the N-th time and never boot into recovery.

Hi there,
I have one question. I have rooted my phone with cf-autoroot method same as you and like you I can't installed custom recovery, weather it be TWARP or CWM. Buy my question isn't this.
I was just randomly checking my app manager for all my apps and found getroot version 1.0 was installed.
Can you confirm me that u have the same thing.
Because it has access to my camera SD card and sms.
Let me know.

Make sure you have patched sd access and set correct path for location.

Or use this this version of twrp and open in Odin just as you would cf autoroot.

the enforcing thing is because you have a custom recovery only, it just tells the user that it isn't factory
Hello Friends!
Basically, I rooted my Samsung A50 using the Odin with magisk_patched.tar. I did not install TWRP or CWM on the phone.
It worked amazingly!
...at first.
Then it got all messed up -- you can read about the issues I was having at the end of this post.
Fortunately, the phone works again with the stock ROM after reflashing the BL/AP/CP/CSC files using Odin!
Now I am trying to figure out the best method for rooting with Magisk and installing TWRP or CWM. (if that is needed)
Any suggestions? Any recommendations for posts I can read, videos, or other tutorials?
I don't want to screw this up again!
I *really* appreciate any tips, directions or help of any kind!
And I apologize for being pretty inept at this stuff
BACKGROUND ====================================================
Straight up: I am somewhat tech-savvy but my skill level is quite low with android stuff -- I have spent a lot of time reading and trying to figure it all out. I realize I just need help to find the best path forward.
I deleted some modules in Magisk that I tried to check out.....
===> then Magisk Manager displayed "Magisk in not installed" and it seemed like root access was no longer available.
===> Clicked install
===> Would you like to Install Magisk 19.3?
===> Clicked Install ===> Given choice to 'Download Zip Only' or 'Select and Patch a File' -- I tried selecting and patching 'magisk_patched.tar' which seemed to work but now I believe the phone is in a bootloop (Samsung logo is displaying without getting anywhere)
I have everything on the phone backed up. I have 'magisk_patched.tar' on my PC.
I decided to wipe the phone and re-do the whole process.
I then ===> reflashed 'magisk_patched.tar' file using odin in download mode.
It seemed to work at first -- the stock ROM was asking for language, privacy agreements, etc.
But it would reboot within 30 seconds of android starting - I could not get past the privacy agreements.
It was stuck in a loop.
Then I tried to ===> flash TWRP using Odin (instructions here: https://www.******.com/root-samsung-...0-with-magisk/)
Now I cannot access recovery.
The phone is just stuck on the Samsung Galaxy A50 screen.
I am able to get into download mode using volume +/- & USB-C. But reflashing the patched ROM or trying to install TWRP using the methods that I know are not working.
I am really not sure what to do now.
===> I am currently reflashing the BL/AP/CP/CSC files using Odin.
The place that I am at is at the top of this post.
Thanks for your help!!

Uncheck auto reboot in Odin. Flash twrp, then hold your hard key combo to boot straight into recovery. You have to go from fastboot (odin mode) straight to recovery after you first flash it, or the stock recovery will replace twrp with itself. Once you get it to stick you won't have to worry about how you boot up.

Do you have a copy of your stock boot.img and stock recovery? I'll take a look at that tar file in the mean time. You might need an updated package.

Hello Spaceminer! Thanks for the support.
I ended up going back to the stock ROM using Odin ===> installing magisk patched ROM
so now I have everything up and running with root access.
Do you recommend that I do anything from here?
Should I install TWRP or CWM on the Samsung A50 even though I have root access using the patched magisk ROM method using Odin?
Thank you for the support!!
be well.

Me personally, I would just for sake of making a backup. If you don't plan on modifying system files, then skipping it isn't going to hurt anything.
As I just spent like 8~hours getting my device out of bootloop.. (after trying to root + twrp...) I might as well take the time to post how I got it working.
DISCLAIMER: Only do this if you are desperate - I have no idea why this worked for me to be honest..
Here is how I managed to get my phone(A505FN btw) to boot again it:
download currently used firmware
extract boot.img + place it on external sd
Flash TWRP.tar (see roms&kernels forum section)
hold up + power while flashing until you are in TWRP
now flash boot.img for bootloader
reboot to system
IT BOOTS (I never got it passed samsung logo + text complaining about non offical firmware)
//edit
RIP it installed on SD card, anyone got any tips on how I move it onto internal?
It doesn't show internal storage anymore..
Shout outs to all the non english youtube videos about flashing android phones lmao
Im having kind of same issue but i only tried to install twrp via odin but then it got stuck on samsung logo boot loop. Later i tried creating recovery tar file and tried flashing it in odin but it wont go to the recovery mode although it came as Pass in odin and now im stuck on downloding screen fml any help is appreciated. can some please suggest my next course of action? is my phone gone>?
As far as I understand no one could manage to root sm-a505f.
Still no solution?

The twrp gives problems but since I rooted with just the patched bootloader in magisk and flash it with Odin. It works stable and I don't have issue's.

i tried but stucked at modem_debug.log. can't proceed further. go back to SC to restore the default rom.
Thinking on having magisk but not TWRP. as TWRP may cause many malfunctioning.
