[Q] Detailed Instructions for a total noobie :)

Hello guys.
I am a brand new Android user and a total noob when it comes to the whole terminology here (ROMs,Kernel,flash etc). I've been reading a lot and i got better i must say,but i still need to ask some questions and get some instructions.
I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE II - GTI 8160
The phone is rooted,i have SuperSU and this is the info bout the phone.
Firmware : I8180XXMF1
Kernel : 3.0.31D-K_v1.RC15
Android Version : 4.1.2. (official)
I'd like to flash a new ROM,and more specifically the 10.1 CM.
My questions are. Does the current firmware and Kernel version that my phone has,meet the requirements to flash the new ROM right away?
Even if they do,shall i "upgrade" Kernel to something better to increase performance (since i dont think i can upgrade firmware,couldnt find a newer Greek version).
New ROM will support Greek language normally?
Is there anything else i should notice before starting the procedure?
I'd appreciate some specific step to step instuctions of what should i do before flashing,if ofcourse there is something i should do.
Thank u in advance and sorry if there is a similar topic and i missed it

Issues after CM 10.2 install on Galaxy Grand

Hello
Just finished installing CM10.2 on my galaxy grand using
4.2-THL-CWM-Touch-6.0.3.6-Baffin-Odin for recovery (tanx to iceyhotguy & kenxda33 ),
cm-10.2-20131117-UNOFFICIAL-baffin, and
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.
CM 10.2 is truly amazing and beautiful, but
- only one sim is active, 2nd sim not activated
- can't access external SD card (tried mounting SD card, but doesn't work)
- can't receive a call or dial out, - phone reboots each time
Please is there a work around for fixing these issue?
Also, is there a way to get back to the stock 4.2.2?
Tanx

Hey guys
Just to add that my galaxy grand is unrooted.
Tanx.

First, if you are on CM10.2, your grand is not unrooted like you mentioned in post #2. Your phone was rooted when you completed flashing recovery and SuperSU
Secondly, CM10.2 is an under-development ROM, and currently supports only 1 SIM. And yes phone reboot is an issue they are trying to solve at the moment. It's only available so users can test and report back what's working in the new build and provide logcats so they look the problem.
The externalSD card issue has been solved in the recent builds already
To get back on stock you will need to flash the 4.2.2 firmware through Odin or flash any 4.2.2 stock-based ROM like GENNXT, RVR's stock based ROM or X-PeriaZ flavor through CWM recovery
If you flash your firmware again, you will have to repeat the recovery flashing method (this will have have to do done whenever you flashing any firmware through Odin)

Hi iceyhotguy
Tanx for the info. Very helpful. I'll follow your suggestion. Please does GENNXT support dual sim?
I'll be on the lookout for when the dual sim issue is fixed in CyanogenMod.
Many tanx.

Yes all three mentioned above are stock based and support dual SIM including GENNXT. Usually all stock based ROMs support dual SIM

[GT-I9192] - S4 Mini Duo - Can We Root With Any Build?

[GT-I9192] - S4 Mini Duo - Can we root with any build ?
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to root my Galaxy S4 mini DUO. (in order to install an other room after that).
It seems that we need a specific build to root it ... And I can't find any root tutorial with my build ...
(my version 4.4.2 : KOT49H.I9192UBUCOC2)
In this case, can we re-install other "official" build in order to apply tutorials ? like downgrade the phone or whatever ?
I found a tutorial that explain at the end that we need to re-install an other build if our build doesn't match ... (without explain of course how to do it)
My question :
- Can we reinstall an other build on the i9192 easily (with kies or something other..)
- If yes where can we find a precise build for the i9192 needed for those tutorials ?
Something more : in download mode there is written : knox warranty void 0x1 (I don't know if I can downgrade with that warranty void)
Thank you if have solutions !

So you want to put a custom rom on your Galaxy S3 L710T... This thread is for you!

Hello, My name is Thomas. If you want read my story Below:
First im going to tell you about what has happened. I bought a galaxy s3 used from a pawn store for 50$.
I was like im going to root it. I rooted it with odin no problems I got the auto rooter from here and I rooted it.
So I looked for a custom rom I though L710T and L710 was the same thing... Boy was I wrong... I backed up my data like and I put lineage OS on my phone... Worked but No Data... I live on my Data I need it. Did some more research and discovered that the Phones where different... So I put a MIUI on my phone it was d2lte and no sim was found ok... then so I then proceeded with candy cat. Data worked and that was a nice change... So I used it for a week things where crashing rotation was broken but it was usable. So at this Current moment that i'm writing this im downloading OctOS and im going to report if it works and update my story. So I downloaded the refreshd2spr package the r3 version and it said I had d2spr which I dont and it terminated the install. So I downloaded the d2spr R2 and I put it on my system. Guess what? No Sim so now im downloading D2refreshspr R2. DID THE EXACT SAME ****ING THING IM LIVID NOW. DOWNLOADING R1 I know 100% its L710T. Im starting to hate this ****ing phone.... So I got it all to work! I had to patch the aroma installer to make it all work I patched the latest version R3
Old Stuff:
1.Ok so first flash twrp recovery with odin.
2.Wipe System, Data Davlik Cache, and Cache.
3.Flash the image posted below and read the description of it.
Here are the custom roms I have used:
Oct OS
Try to install this on your phone if it works Thumbs UP if not use the modified link.
Unmodified OctOS
Modified OctOs
The modified one is for people who are having trouble getting the firmware to install if the first link works don't worry about the modified
Version.
CandyKat
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50056287
Works but is glitchy sometimes. Also its an older version of android OctOs is 6.0.1 Marshmellow.
Those are confirmed working by Me if you have confirmed working custom roms let me know.
The new updated method
1.Get your Favorite d2spr rom.
2.go into recovery (I use TWRP)
3.Back up data if you want to keep stock and then wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
4. Install your favorite Rom.
5.Flash the Modem Fix in this thread.
6.I usually boot to make sure everything works before I flash gapps
7.Flash Gapps (Google Apps) I use Open Gapps Stock
8.You have a Custom Rom L710T Phone.
If you need help reply to this thread for a faster response DM me.
Also a big thanks to MatBat99 he helped with the new tutorial!
Also if you brick I am not responsible. Im not responsible for anything that happens because of a brick. You have been warned!

There is a modem-firmware symlink zip that allows any d2spr (l710) rom to be flashed on a d2refresh (l710t).
Also, it's telling you that you have the l710 because octos also made a modified twrp made for flashing d2refresh builds on a 710t. Flip through their thread and you'll find it.

OMG man you don't know how long I've been at this can you link me too the thread? Or the file.. I want to update this thread so people can do that So I don't look stupid either lol

Here is the modem firmware zip. Not sure where the Twrp for triband is right now. But this zip will let you flash regular d2spr (l710) roms on your 710t. The special twrp won't be needed for this, that one is only for their (octos) 710t builds.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-team-octos-oct-l-t3156861
Just noticed you have already been there. All the info is in that thread

@aaronamv how's your progress? Need anything?
And trust me, you don't look stupid for anything. Alot of triband S3 owners have struggled with flashing that thing.

Everything is fine I'm good I made an updated tutorial so people would know when trying to flash a custom Rom on the L710T. Hopefully it helps the noobs like I was lol

I'll upgrade to oct-N when Xposed is released for nougat

Hi. Octos maintainer for d2 here.
Users have been installing twrp for d2spr on d2refreshspr phones and then regular d2spr ROMs (at least octos, I don't keep up on the others) and have been having success. Nothing special required.
As always, make backups first.

I can report this doesn't work for Oct-M. Might work on OCT-N and I can also report it doesn't work for lineage os either.

Yes, I can only speak for N. Back in M I was with PAC (RIP) and we didn't support refresh at all.
IIRC, I think Octos did actually make a d2refreshspr build for M, but there were problems. I think they were mostly caused by all the APN settings for each sprint reseller.

Thx guys for this thread. have SPH L710 phone baseband L710VPUCOJ1. I would like to flash the ROM with good battery life but MM not LL or nougat. Any suggestions? I really dont want to flash wrong ROM.
Also anyone can point me where I can find SU zip and gaps for this phone please.
Thank you so much

Galaxy j6+ Android 10 TWRP and downgrade

Hy,
i, got a Samsung Galaxy j6+ (SM-J610 FN) that was before automatic updatet to Android 10.
So i want use it for me now and want to root and change to a Twrp recovery and any custom Rom.
-----
I had the last years many devices as Sony, HTC, and older Samsung and nevertime i had so much problems to understand and also start to flash Twrp and any rom... Yust now with this device i starting cracy :-(
-----
So the problem to understand proper/my questions (my english isn,t very well):
1. i read now nearly two day,s a lot of treads ther and on other Forums. And i starting realy confused now becaus it seems al lot of problems with newer Android System (and also Bootloader) to flash and permanently root,...
2. as i read: something on Android 10 dont want work (is broken) after Twrp/root or have other problems,...?
3. If the TWRP is flashed with existing Android 10, only Magisk is then flashed (with TRWP or ODIN) not: RMM_BYPASS_V3_CORSICANU.ZIP and not J4 + J6 + _oreo_forced_encryption_disabler.zip. Is that right?
4. So, also i read things about the existing bootloader Version that must be have to do this? I have now U2.
must i have a higher version? So many things make me realy unsure what i have to care bevor i can flash some rom e.g.
###################
So what I had made before (already):
1. Set the device back to factory setting ...
2. unlocked OEM
Then i wanted flash TWRP (and i also try,d to flash stock-Rom first after it not work,...) but everything dont want work about Odin failed e.g....
3. Did I find that the bootloader State Prenormally stood ---> I have now fixed that with date. That should fit now.
############
What i wont to do:
Preferably downgrade to Android 9 (or 8?), as the device with Android 10 is very slow now. :-(
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Magisk (get root)
- Flash Resurrection Remix (vx.x.x.) for Samsung Galaxy J6+
(????BUT I NOT SURE WHITCH ANDOID VERSION IT IS????)
- (or) Flash lineage-17.1-20200318-UNOFFICIAL-j6primelte
(????BUT THIS IS ANDOID VERSION 10 ALSO IS,NT IT ????)
*If there a good stable Version Rom with Android 9 or 8 so where/which,...?
And if i can flash to downgrade must i then flash the files: RMM_BYPASS_V3_CORSICANU.ZIP and J4 + J6 + _oreo_forced_encryption_disabler.zip? And when then in which way?
After TWRP (before Magisk), or after downgrade already,...?
--------------------
So i have a lot of Questions here, i know, sorry and somewhere it can read part,s of this, but i,m not sure what right for me . :-(
But there many treads now from 2018 til yet and it isn,t easy for me to understand, or better to find the right information's for me in this case (Android 10, downgrade,........ which Rom,....)
I would be very happy if someone can tell me understandable as I have to do exactly and which files are really needed to successfully downgrade with root on Android 9 (or 8?) and maybe even which Rom is recommended. Thanks for the time to have read this here.
Regards, paulhu

As I don't know the version, you can follow this video on YT, I hope it helps you.

Hello @hakli,
many thanks for your response.
Which version do you mean? The Galaxy J6 is: Galaxy SM J610FN / DS.
Thanks for the video, it's certainly very helpful.
What confused me most is with the two files that have to be flashed in a TWRP TREAD stood that it is not needed at Android 10, but there was no feedback from other users and in other places it's about it?
As far as the downgrade is concerned, another thing again ....
Greetings, Paulhu

I will honest with you, it is not easy to install twrp on j6+ (any version) watch every vid on YT. but follow the video and install the stock rom, and there will be a file called , you have to follow and use the magisk app to root the phone. Sorry for the late reply. I am kind a busy.
And I don't know where do you live, if you are an American , Italian or Indian. once I know , then I can embed the video that you can follow, First follow the above video and install the stock rom from sam mobile. You can PM me too.
