[Q] Flasing a MOD to a ROM

Hi all,
I've flashed the ARHD 5.1.1 ROM today and all is working fine. I am now looking at flashing the CRT and Sense 3 lock-screen MODs onto my phone.
Am I correct in thinking I use the same procedure as I did for flashing the ARHD ROM using ROM Manager... where I would boot into recovery and select the *.zip from my SD card?
I've had a search around an I have been unable to find a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.

Quote from Mike's thread;
All extras listed here with meta-inf folder inside the .zip archive needs to be installed via Clockworkmod recovery!
So yes. Don't try flashing it at the same time as the ROM, always reboot first and then go back into recovery and flash addon.
Also, it's best to flash one at a time, I got a boot-loop once when I tried to flash a few of them at the same time
Happy flashing!

[n5207] q & a

I have Chinese N5207, and I have been trying everything from the minute I got it to have it rooted with Wi Fi working, but I'm having some trouble.
How I got where I am:
Installed modified stock recovery image flashed (earlier posted by Lum in an old thread), wifi was not working, flashing stock ROM was not working.
I deleted system partition using fastboot (I am an expert, so this might have been a bit too wrong, but I wanted to cleanup)
Tried to flash CM12 and stock N5207, but it fails.
I flashed CM12 boot.img and the installed n3root .zip, and they completed successfully.. but then I still have no system, I try to install stock or CM again, not working
In an attempt to fix the deleted system partition, I flashed a boot.img using "fastboot flash system boot.img", which completed successfully, but still stock recovery won't flash any OS, and now I'm stuck.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Problems with custom roms

Hello,
it looks like that I'm unable to install a custom rom on my GX8 (see details out device at the end of the post).
FRP disabled, bootloader unlocked (this is at least what the fastboot/bootloader screen is saying)
I'm able to flash twrp-3.1.1-0-rio.img to recovery
I can use twrp on recovery and it seems to be fully functional
When I use twrp in 'read-only' mode, I'm able to reboot the system (stock firmware)
But when I use twrp in modifing mode, booting the system (stock firmware) is no longer possible (even if I only wipe cache and/or dalvik). Restarting the device will always end in twrp/recovery.
Backup is possible. Restore backup succeeds, but booting the system (stock firmware) is not possible. Restarting the device will always end in twrp/recovery.
Nevertheless trying to install a custom rom from zip in twrp. This leads to the following error message:
"E3004: This package is for device: RIO-L01, hwRIO-L01, RIO-L02, hwRIO-L02, RIO-L03, hwRIO-L03, RIO-AL00, hwRiO-AL00, RIO-CL00, hwRIO-CL00, RIO-TL00, hwRIO-TL00; this device is rio.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
Well, patch the custom rom in lines of http://www.lineageosdownloads.com/fix-error-7-lineage-os/, i.e. modifing the 'updater-script' in the zip. Now installing the custom rom zip in twrp is possible. Still unable to reboot system.
Installing gapps and/or chainfire supersu does not improve the situation.
Giving up back to stock rom in lines of https://forum.xda-developers.com/gx...tall-stock-rom-g8-t3370013/page2#post73008458 . This has (so far) worked for me to get back a working mobile phone.
Any suggestions, anyone?
Kind regards,
aanno

I've encountered the same exact problem when I flashed using twrp-3.1.1-0-rio.img. Had to force update to stock rom after it got stuck on bootloop.
Solved it when using the older TWRP 3.0.2-0 which you can get here:

Hope it might help you too.

[Help needed] Lost TWRP after flashing Xtended ROM.

I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader

Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.

(Sprint}Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 [SM-T217s]: Difficulty Installing RR with TWRP v2.7

Hello, the names Braadliiah,
I am having excessive difficulty figuring out how to flash any Rom that is beyond Kitkat, even though they, supposedly are "designed" for an "SM-T217s". As I had success flashing Cyanogen mod[cm-12.1-20160706-UNOFFICIAL-lt02ltespr], which is not even for my model of tablet, which is bizarre due to the fact that other ROM's of the same model do not successfully flash. The most recent custom Rom I had attempted to install with no avail, was the Ressurection Remix[[ROM][8.1.0]ResurrectionRemix v6.2.1[Official]]. This ROM was linked into google, under "SM-T217s" compatibility, but for the model "It02ltespr".
The way that I flash these ROM's are through TWRP, namely, version "2.7.0.0". The TWRP dialogue within the flash window, usually says something like, "failed to zip" and "Zip error". The reason I have not done the flashing via ADB & Fastboot is because I have not done this successfully yet, and truth be told, I am not sure it is even possible given the TWRP can't do it? Also, I do not use Odin, because this will remove TWRP, and there is no guaranty that the ROM will work, and then, I will have to re-install Stock Firmware and TWRP. I lack any desire doing double the work, as I have already done a bit of that through trial and error recently.
So is there any method, via TWRP, ADB, or ODIN, which will in fact work? Should I install another version of say, Cyanogenmod, to be able to install this ROM? I am looking for experienced, tech savvy people, as I am a curious noob, who wants a ressurected tablet that can do all modern conveniences via wifi, and be my study tab. Furthermore, I would like, say, Magisk Manager to Install Modules, but can not do so, without a newer Kernel, that is Lolipop and forward. And again, Lolipop and forward do not seem to Install.
I shall be ever greatful for anybody's help. Thank you. :angel:

Update:
Today I experimented with ODIN some more. I had a small victory, because I happened to take the TWRP v.3.1 flash Image, and converted him into a TAR file, and luckily ODIN managed to successfully install this update. However, when it came to TWRP v.3.2, there became an error installing. TWRP still failed to instal zip files from the below ROMs. Furthermore, ODIN seemed to flash the boot images of Custom ROMs well, when converted to TAR files. Yet, when I booted the ROM, this device remained on the Boot screen.
My process by which I installed these ROMs, went like so:
First, extract zip, then convert to TAR via 7zip
Open ODIN, flash TAR in PDA, Boot down android
Boot to Download Mode again, in PDA flash TWRP v3.1 TAR, Boot down android
Boot to Custom recovery, and install proper Gapps
Boot on, and Stuck.
I did this three times, while starting off with a full wipe, to rule some things out. When I tried to fix context, it said Error1
The Roms I attempted to flash were, Cyanogenmod 12, which worked entirely; Cyanogenmod 13 which was stuck on Boot screen, tried twice; Lineage OS 15, which I tried three times, and was stuck on Boot screen.
Do I need to apply more than one file? for instance, CSC, Phone, and PDA? Because I was only flashing boot Image as a TAR file in PDA.
