This application *requires* root.
This app can flash a kernel within android on Samsung i9000, Captivate, Fascinate, Vibrant and more.
Features:
* backup kernel as update.zip (for recovery)
* flash kernel from zImage, any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage
* reboot
Usage:
backup kernel: creates an update.zip (for recovery) containing a backup of the current kernel with time and date in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/backup/
choose kernel: choose kernel image (mostly named zImage) or any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage
flash kernel: flashes the kernel
reboot: reboot the phone
Android market: SGS kernel flasher
DISCLAIMER:
The author of this app is not responsible for any damage to your phone that may be caused by usage of this app or by deficient kernel images.
Im curious, is it "bad" to flash to the partitions when in use ?
Shouldn't it be done via recovery ? Something like cwm where you'd choose flash kernel, it would safely restart your phone into recovery where it would flash your zimage and reboot.
Thnx

This partition is safe to be flashed from within android - otherwise i would not publish an app that can do that.
The partition is not used while android is running - only read at boot.
Just dont use the app with wrong files - you have to know what you are doing.
I improved the app:
v1.0.1 stable:
* added: manual reboot
* added: check selected file for valid zImage
This app is now stable - happy flashing.
oooh naice!
What are the benefits of flashing the kernel while the OS is running ?

For me, it hurts when pressing the Volume keys up/down in Recovery!
Whats the difference between this and the Tuxility app.? It does the same thing..?

This app does not use the redbend_ua binary - no forced reboot.
And the only purpose of this app is to flash the kernel, nothing else.

I will implement a check that will show a warning, but disablinf or removing of a lagfix is too much at the moment. There are too much different lagfix approaches and considering them all is pretty complex.
I keep most of kernels on /sdcard/kernals/ directory in .zip (CWM) format.
Any chances of adding support of such files?
Adding .tar should be straightforward too
I have updated the app one more time:
v1.2.1:
added: PDA.tar and update.zip file support
added: choose file starts in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/
added: lagfix detection and warning
That means you can now select any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage and the app will automatically extract and flash that zImage.
Major break through for easy kernel flashing on i9000, Captivate, Fascinate and Vibrant- please propagate this awesome news.
Btw. the app is now on market.
Ok this is awesome!
(you beat me to it, you know, congrats!)
I'm running the 2.2.1 firmware ( JPX trough KIES) and used the "SuperOneClick 1.5.5" application to root.
When I run the kerner installer, it would tell me that I have a lagfix installed (AFAIK I don't have any) and also tells me that my device is not rooted.
I can confirm that it's rooted by using the root-explorer and have super-user and busybox installed.

Did you see the root request dialog?
If not, you may restart the app or just have look what the superuser app says about the permissions of the sgs kernel flasher.
Does it support 'CWM' .zip files?
I mean these where not only zImage resides, but also some other thingies.
I ask this question because I wasn't able to flash SO_4_5_1 kernel using CWM file provided in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811660
file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467462&d=1292684343
Attempt on JPX+SO_4_5_1 kernel (so basically it was an attempt to reflash of the same kernel)
Code:
zImage extraction failed!
Kernel flash failed!

Hello,
Many thanks for this so nice app .
I have to inform You that he detects lagfix is running on my phone, but that is not true.
My phone is running on 2.2.1 Froyo, XXJPUI9000, and i flashed all .PIT, PDA, MODEM and CSC files trough Odin.
I rooted My phone with CF-Root.
And ofcourse differenc is visible, I charge my phone each 3 days .
So if this BUG can be fixed would be nice.
Thanks.

I will also check that - it is only a warning message, you can ignore that for the moment.
Edit: I need some mount listings, if you have working adb, please run something like this: "adb shell mount > mount-listing.txt" and attach that file to a post in this thread. That will help me to improve the lagfix detection. Thanks.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using a Canadian handset, I recommend switching over to my JL2 based ROM. It's the same speed (if not quicker), and I will be providing much more updates for it. The ROM can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906977

12/23/10 - v0.2 released! Includes an error-checking script to prevent possible errors from occuring, new Steam recovery, wipe and non-wipe versions and more! Check the changelog for more info.
12/22/10 - v0.1, initial beta release
Hey everyone,
This is a rom which aims to provide the absolute best user experience by being extremely quick without sacrificing any necessary features. The majority of Samsung bloatware is removed, however a good portion of the pre-installed apps are left untouched. This ROM is based on XXJPY (Froyo 2.2.1).
If you have any questions prior, while, or after installing this ROM, please read the first few posts, as I'll try to address every possible (major) problem which can occur. If, after reading the posts, you are still encountering a problem, please reply to this thread being as detailed as possible. This allows me to fix problems quickly and easily.
Now, this is my first ROM, so there are bound to be a handful of bugs. However, I've been using this ROM for a few days and have yet to encounter any major problems.
Note: Please don't complain about Quadrant, Linpack, or any other pointless benchmark scores. If you've used the ROM and it's sluggish, by all means tell me, but don't base your opinion of the speed merely on a benchmark.
Okay, so what now?

Installation Instructions
Before installing, disable any lagfixes (which can typically be done by booting into recovery mode and selecting "Disable Lagfix").
Also, if you wish, backup everything! Perform a NANDROID backup in recovery, backup your music, files, etc. In case something goes wrong (it will eventually), you'll have peace of mind.
Please note: this rom will wipe all your data. It will not, however, format your internal or external SD cards. This means you'll lose apps and settings, but not music, movies, etc.
Lastly, I recommend performing a factory reset before installing any new rom.
If you're running a previous version of my ROM, feel free to install the non-wiping version. However, if you're switching roms, I recommend running the standard version, which will erase all data.
1. Download and copy this file to your internal memory card.
2. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
3. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.
4. Select OK, and wait for the file to flash.
5. Reboot. This reboot will take a while (upwards of 2-5 minutes), so be patient and don't shut off your phone!
Congratulations, you've successfully flashed!
After it boots, I'd recommend doing a few things in order to allow your phone to be as quick as possible:
1. Boot back into recovery, select "Advanced SpeedMod ULK Features". Choose "LAGFIX options", then "Faster: EXT4 ALL". This applies a lagfix, and converts the partitions into the faster EXT4 filesystem.
2. In recovery, go back to the Advanced SpeedMod ULK Features menu. Choose "TWEAK options", and enable every tweak. For more information about these tweaks, see HERE.
Also, window animations are disabled by default. You can enable them by going into settings -> Display, and selecting Animations.
3. If you'd like the Gingerbread Keyboard, open up the My Files application and navigate to the directory "Gingerbread_Keyboard". Open up the .APK file and install as usual.

FAQ And Problems
FAQ
I'm on stock Froyo and I have 3e recovery!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No worries. Follow these steps:
1. Download Odin from here.
2. Download the Speedmod kernel for whichever Android version you're running. Make sure to download the Odin kernel, not the CWM one!
3. After downloading, extract the .TAR file from the file you just downloaded.
4. Open Odin, and turn off your phone. Connect your phone to your PC via USB, and enter download mode by holding volume down + home + power.
5. Odin should detect your phone. Load up the .TAR file in the "PDA" box in Odin. Make sure the other boxes are left blank. Untick "Repartition". Start flashing.
6. Your phone should automatically reboot with the new kernel! To double check, shut it off and boot into recovery. If you see CWM recovery, you're successful!
7. Now you're required to download the patch for the Speedmod kernel, which will allow you to copy the ROM over to your internal SD card. If you don't install this patch, the internal SD card will be detected as a CD drive, and will be read-only. The patch is able to be downloaded from HERE. Simply copy this patch to your SD card, boot into CWM, and flash it using "install zip from sdcard". After doing this, follow the normal steps to install this rom!
I'm encountering force-close issues, and general app issues right after installation.

Simply perform a factory reset. Clear the cache + Dalvik cache in recovery as well, if you'd like.
What's this steam recovery and how do I access it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steam recovery is a new, semi-functional multi-touch recovery created by sztupy. This recovery has all the features the standard CWM one has and more. Check his thread for more info.
Please note: Because (currently) the only Steam-compatible kernel is based on a much older base version (ie: not XXJPY), a small amount of features are incompatible, such as lagfix options, kernel options, etc. However, the majority of features (such as mounting, wiping, etc) are working just fine. I'm working on getting everything working; as soon as it is, it will fully replace CWM on this ROM.
To enable it, just boot into CWM and go to "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After doing this, it will boot into the new Steam recovery. You must do this every time you want to access it.
My GPS isn't working! It takes forever to lock and displays my position inaccurately!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try clearing the GPS data on your phone. Do the following: (Original poster unknown. Reposted by dpvu.)
1) Enter *#3214789650# into the dialpad.
2) Under "Application Settings" set the Start Mode to Coldstart.
3) At the main menu "Delete GPS Data".
4) At the main menu "Get Position Test".
If you're still not finding many satellites try setting Operation Mode to "MS Based" in the "Application Settings". I did all of this then set the GPS back to hot start.

I'm using this modem because I need the Canadian band, because, well, I'm located in Canada. And, according to this guide, this modem is very good on battery life and reception.
In later versions of this ROM I'll most likely include a different modem (or a flashable modem). Something like that.
Any modem you'd prefer to see included?
Place this zip into PDA on Odin and upload it.
Any chance to work this?

Sounds good
Will likely give this a try as the XXJPX modem causes me to lose my 850 WCDMA connection all too frequently (even though I've enabled it). Just curious if there are any problems with Market, or will it come updated to 2.2.7 already?
Cheers mate!

Rom Select - App for Dual Boot users to allow them to change Roms without waiting for STweaks to load first. Tested with Dorimanx, should work with Siyah as well.
The following Apps may no longer be required as they should be fixed.
Dori CamFix - Fixes problems with some CM and AOKP ROMS where the camera force closes when using Dorimanx Kernel.
Fake Notify - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot.
Fake Notify Plus - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot and also sometimes disappears during normal use at Random.
Crackle Stop - Automates TRB's method of fixing the problem of a crackling sound being produced along with notifications. Once installed run and you will need to grant SU access. You will then be presented with a Menu for your Normal 'Idle' mode, this should be the same as the awake idle mode set in STweaks, next you will be asked for an Alt Idle mode, this can be anything, just not the same as your normal mode.
Once set you will need to reboot for the fix to activate.
Once rebooted the app does what it needs to do over a 20 second period (not 20 seconds after the phone has booted as the app will probably be the last thing loaded - so to be safe I'd give it 2 or 3 minutes). You then need to let your phone get into Deep Sleep so leave it for a bit and then after that all should be OK.
Note this is not a one off fix, this process will run on each boot but you do not need to rerun the App unless you want to change the Normal Idle mode.

Alliance Rom FAQ
How do I install 7.02?
You need to uninstall the Rom Customiser that comes with the Rom then install the new one from play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ficeto.alliancemanager) once installed go into Rom Customiser and then OTA and select the updates.
OTA does not mean Samsung or System OTA.
How do I install 7.3? I can't find it in OTA.
7.3 is a full Rom and not an update. As such you need to download the full Rom zip from the OP on the Alliance Thread. Once downloaded flash it through Rom Customiser.
How do I flash the Stock Theme for 7.3?
During installation uncheck the box next to "Alliance Theme".
What can be installed through Rom Customiser?
Anything can be flashed through Rom Customiser as long as it is a Flashable zip, an Odin Tar file or an OTA download.
I have Downloaded a mod or update from OTA which I cannot flash through recovery. What am I doing wrong?
You need to flash these files through Rom Customiser which will then automate recovery. You cannot flash these independently.
What is the default blue colour used in the Rom?
Uncheck the Alpha box Colour Hex code #33b5e5
How can I get the Dandelion Lock Screen Wallpaper back?
Download it from here.

2. Navigate to /System folder
3. Open the build.prop file
4. Scroll down to the 'Additional_build_properties' you are looking for the line
"ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
The default value for the LCD density is 240, the lower the number the more on
the screen. 200 is a good value to start with.
Save the change.
5. Reboot phone for the change to become effective.

android ipsec vpn mtu mod

Bespoke stuff
These are bits that have been requested by others for a specific requirement not Rom or Kernel specific.
MTU 1300 (tun0) - App to set the MTU value to 1300 for a VPN connection using tun0.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since I requested this tweak, I would give a simple explanation on what it does and how to use it.
When your connecting to a ipsec vpn using wifi and having trouble browsing to your internal websites eventhough your connected to it. You can ping your internal network but the trouble is no browsing. The solutions are:
1. Tell your System Administrator to change the ip tcp adjust-mss to a lower value, in my case I used 1000 using 1841 cisco router. This prevents the packet from fragmentation. Packets when fragmented were dropped thus resulting to no browsing. If the Sys Ad refuses to do so because this may cause some issues to Windows users (browsing may slow a little bit), your best solution is to install this tweak.
2. This MTU mod sets the MTU value of your payload to 1300 via tunnel interface of your android device this avoiding packet fragmentation resulting to packet being allowed to pass through the tunnel interface going to ipsec vpn router.
How to use it:
1. Download the vpnc widget from playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.mjm4456.vpncwidget&hl=en
Configure your credentials. Then connect.
2. Once the vpnc widget has been connected open this app. Then you should have browsed your internal network.
Note: This tweak is needed only for wifi connections. If your using carrier data, then this is not needed anymore.
Please give thanks to the creator of this app.
I just gave him the code and he did all the stuff in making this app looks nice and easy to use.
Big credit to OP, trevfee and thanks to my neatrom family (Many40, Mr.Greg, ESD and others who helped me finding the code)

Glad it's working for you and thaks for the feedback and explanation for others.
As for Play Store I have yet to purchase a dev account to allow me to upload as I really only make things for people who know how to install from anywhere. Please feel free to trek people to download from this page, I won't be removing the app.

IMEI Recovery
IMPORTANT
FOR THIS PROCESS TO WORK YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD COPY OF YOUR /efs DIRECTORY TAKEN PRIOR TO THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER.
DISCLAIMER - THIS IS AN AMALGAMATION OF IDEAS, PROCESSES AND GUIDES FOUND ONLINE ALONG WITH MY OWN MODIFICATIONS AND PROCESSES THAT I HAD TO MAKE TO GET THE PROCESS TO WORK FOR ME.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE PERFORMED THIS PROCESS IN FULL AND IT HAS WORKED FOR ME I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS THAT ARISES FROM FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. BY USING THIS GUIDE YOU ARE ACCEPTING ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL ACTIONS AND THEIR RESULTS.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT PERFORMING THIS PROCESS WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY BUT IF YOU ARE ALREADY ROOTED AND RUNNING CUSTOM SOFTWARE THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY INVALIDATED YOUR WARRANTY ANYWAY.
This is a common problem that usually occurs when a problem is encountered flashing a file from Recovery. Please take the precautions listed below, it will save you a lot of trouble should you ever suffer from this problem.
Backup Process
There are 3 ways that I use to back up the /efs directory.
These are:
1 - Manually copy /efs to your SD Card and make another copy somewhere safe (Computer, Dropbox, etc).
2 - Use HC-kTool to make a backup image of your /efs directory.
3 - Use Galaxy S Unlock AND GSII Repair to make backups of your original /efs directory (These are both the same but by doing both you have two copies of /efs available should you need it).
All Apps available from the Google Play Store or can be downloaded in the AppPack from here
At the end of this process you will have 4 copies of your /efs directory on your SD Card as well as any dulicates you created externally in step 1. This might seem like overkill but trust me taking 5 minutes creating these will save you hours and possibly quite a bit of money in repair costs in the long run should you ever need to recover!
Now you have your backups lets hope that you never need them, but should you then...
Recovery Process
Acknowledgements
Based on original post by XDA Member vaskodogamagmail with more detail and modifications to make process work added by me.
Original Post
Symptoms
You may have one, some or all of the following:
No Signal
Emergency Call Only
No Network
IMEI 004999010640000
IMEI 000000000000000
IMEI
(To check your IMEI number either enter *#06# dial into the dialer or check in Settings, Phone Information)
Prerequisites
Rooted Phone
Try the following processes in order until the problem is resolved.
Method 1:
Open HC-kTool and choose "Restore efs from backup (DANGEROUS!)" then choose "Restore IMG". Once completed you will be prompted to reboot. Perform Reboot and if all has gone well you will have a working phone again.
Method 2:
Open Galaxy S Unlock app and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 3:
Open GSII_Repair and perform Options 2 and 3. Your phone will reboot. Once it has rebooted see if your phone is working.
Method 4:
Open GSII_Repair and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 5:
This is the last chance (and the one that after tweaking to what you see below worked for me).
You will Need the following:
Stock GB ROM
Insecure Kernel
ODIN
Quick Root
All of these can be downloaded in the IMEIFix.zip which can be downloaded from here.
Android SDK and ADB instaled on your Computer or a Terminal App on your Phone (Personally I prefer ADB from Computer but you choose whichever you are most comfortable with).
We are going to restore your phone to as close to original stock a possible. No data wil be removed from your SD Card(s) but all installed apps, customisations, ROMs and Kernels will be removed. Please backup everyting you need before runnng this process.
If you are able to make a Nandroid Backup of your Rom you will be able to recover this at the end of the process.
Open ODIN
In Options select "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".
Select the following files from the "OriginalRom" folder on your computer:
Bootloader -> KERNEL_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
PDA -> CODE_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone -> MODEM_I9100XXKDH_REV_02_CL995882.tar.md5
Reboot your phone into Download Mode (Hold down Home, Volume Down and Power when turnng on).
When in Download Mode connect to Computer via USB.
You will get a Ready message in one of the top boxes in ODIN. When you have this press the Start button.
After a while your phone will reboot and load up into it's Stock setup.
Configure the settings and then Power down the Phone.
Once Powered down go into Download Mode again (same process as above).
In ODIN press Reset.
Set the same options as before.
This time only set the Bootloader box. Select the file from the "InsecureKernel" folder on your computer - NOTE Insecure means that it is able to be rooted, not that there is a security issue with using it. We will be replacing this later anyway.
Check you have the Ready in the top box in ODIN and press Start.
Once finished your phone will reboot to stock again. IMPORTANT - Disconnect the USB cable before proceeding.
Go to Settings, Applications, Developer Options.
Turn ON "USB Debugging".
Connect USB cable to Computer and Phone.
Open "Samsung Quick Root"
Select "Reboot Device When Finished"
Press "Root Device"
Some text will scroll on the screen and then phone will reboot.
This will have installed SuperUser, Busybox and Rooted your phone.
Install a Root capable Explorer app, I used Es File Explorer, either download from the Play Store or you can install if from the Apps folder of IMEIFix downloaded above.
Open a Command Prompt on your Computer
Enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
busybox umount -l /efs
exit
exit
Using your chosen exporer delete the efs folder from the root of your phone.
Reset the phone, after that open your explorer again and browse to the Root, the efs folder should have recreated and will contain files. These are new and are system generated.
Go to the efs folder using your chosen explorer, and delete "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bin.md5".
Go to the working back up of your efs folder on your SD Card, copy the "imei" folder to the efs folder at the root of your phone, then again go to the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and copy the "nv_data.bin" file to your efs folder at the root of your phone using your explorer. Once you have copied this file, please rename the new file to "nv_data.bin.bak".
Make another copy of the "nv_data.bin" file in the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and paste this into the efs folder at the root of your phone again.
On your Computer open a command prompt and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin
Reset your phone.
You should now have your Original IMEI, check this by dialing *#06# call into the dialer. If you have the correct IMEI then you are done. You can either reinstall your usual ROM, Apps, Kernel etc manually or restore an existing backup.
If you need to install a Recovery with CWM (to restore backups or install new ROMs and Kernels then please follow these steps:
Install Mobile Odin from ChainFire from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here)
If you have used the XDA version you will also need the eu.chainfire.mobileodin.flashkernel.i9100.v2-1 apk file, this is in the IMEIFix download above in the Apps folder.
Copy the Kernel-V7.tar file from the CWMKernel folder in IMEIFix to your SD Card.
Open Mobile Odin and from there open the Kernel-V7.tar file. This will flash Dorimanx 7.45. If you now boot into recovery you can flash what you need to in the usual way.
By following the process above you will likely find that the Triangle Alert is now on your screen when booting yor phone indicating that your bootloader has been modified. Although this makes no functional difference to your phone you can remove this alert by installing TriangleAway from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here. This will reset the flash counters in your phone and remove the warning.
If you still have the wrong or no IMEI then you will need to seek further help.
There is no obligation but if this guide has just saved your phone and you feel you would like to show your appreciation there is a "Donate" button on the left, please feel free to use it.
YouTube fix
The problem is actually with Xlory's Inverted Play Store so far a fix had not been released by Xlory so we have to use the following workaround based on suggestion from Nos_20 and modifications from Andreas75k.
Fully uninstall YouTube, firstly from the Play Store or Settings, Applications and then from Rom Customiser (Manage System Apps).
In Rom Customiser go to OTA then select and flash Stock Play Store.
Goto Settings, Applications and wipe cache, data and any updates for Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
Reboot to recovery.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Reboot.
Once rebooted reinstall YouTube in Rom Customiser and update through the Play Store or just install directly from the Play Store but obviously it wont be a system app.
That's it, all should now work.
Key here is: don't use any modified versions of Google Play Services, Google Play Store or YouTube, only STOCK.

Great thread good info. :thumbup:
alliance 7.3
apollo 4.5 regular
I9100
Here it is. Full T-mobile With root, wifi calling, bluetooth and volte all working - since this is t-mobile based all bands should work as well
Updated to use API4 System Image and API4 Modem - MyMods has also been updated for the API4 System - Whatever you do DO NOT FLASH the API4 BL file. you will be Stuck on the new firmware without root if you do this as you cannot go back
To Avoid Repeat Questons. READ! READ IT AGAIN! and then READ it once more! if you do not Understand any part of this. Do Not Continue!!!
This Guide assumes you have some basic knowledge and is for advanced users!!!!!!!!
This Guide also Assumes you have an sdcard inserted in your phone(however some of you may not and this will not work.)
i will post an update to this guide when we have a method working for those of you with no extsdcard
Read this entire post before doing anything to avoid issues and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
Note! if at anytime during the following steps you see the samsung boot animation before step 11. start over cause you screwed up!
Step 1. download the following files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237653 bbx.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631641263 API4 system.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535467223 T-mobile APGC Bootloader
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862665245 T-mobile API4 Modem
Step 2. extract system.rar and bbx.rar and then copy system.img and bbx to your extsdcard(the sdcard you inserted into your phone)
Step 3. odin sprint userdebug firmware available here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
Step 4. Directly after odin is done with the sprint file you will immidiatly be presented with an update screen
Step 4a when this process of erasing your phone is finished it will reboot(this is the point you want to do the next step)
Step 4b. press and hold power, home and vol up to enter recovery
Step 4c If you see the samsung boot animation. you did NOT do this right and i would suggest you start over
Step 5. open a command prompt in your adb folder and do the following steps 1 at a time(these are case sensative)
Step 5a. adb shell
Step 5b. su
Step 5c. setenforce 0
Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Note! - if you still have odin open and the sprint file in the ap box make sure you uncheck it so it doesn't reodin the sprint firmware
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930TUVU1APGC_CL8706614_QB10376889_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930TUVU2API4_CL9115549_QB10937257_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. install any additions i have included if you like. most of all enjoy it
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
If you plan on running the debloat/deknox file you will need to disable auto updates in google playstore as soon as you finish the setup wizard or you will be uninstalling the apps that managed to update
Note! Keep in mind that i remove alot of things(ie. allshare, knox, gear manager, game manager, tmo apps, google apps, facebook and alot of other things) if you need any of what i remove, you can simply open the zip and go to META-INF/com/google/android and open the following file "updater-script" in notepad++(do not open it with windows notepad as it will screw up the formatting on the entrys) you will see a whole bunch of lines that begin with delete_recursive, remove the lines with names of the apps you do not want removed. most of this stuff is self explanatory by it's name as to what it is and should be very easy to figure out. when done editing the file, save it. and flash the updated zip in flashfire. it's as simple as that.
Additional Files for those that want them(these are all flashed via flashfire)

Ok here it is: Xposed still works with this new root method, Only one catch, you have to install this before you install any of @OvrDriVE Mods.
If you plan on using Xposed then do not install @OvrDriVE my modifications zip as this will crash your systemui.apk.
As with any custom rom's, root, add-on's, you assume all risks with modding your phone. You have been warned.
Make sure you read all of my directions below, before you start posting errors with the install. Worst case you just have to start over with @OvrDriVE s installation.
Here is the way you can install xposed on your phone after you have root. I in no way have made any files or apks, I am just posting ways you get this loaded on your phone.
Please Thank the devolopers and others that have made all these files and apks possible..
The way to install Xposed framework via FlashFire:
1. Download FlashFire, You can get it from the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
2. Download the Xposed Installer Apk: Xposed installer Apk
3. Download the Xposed Framework zip.<<< this is the file that you will be flashing via FlashFire: Xposed Framework.zip
4. Once you have all the files downloaded onto you computer/phone: you are ready to start. If you have'nt all ready copied all the files to your phone storage, do so now. If you did then you can move on to the #5.
5. Open FlashFire on your phone. Once it is loaded and open, click on circle with + button on the bottom right of the screen.
Then Click on Flash ZIP or OTA button.
Now select the xposed framework zip that you downloaded from #3.
Next you click the check mark on the top right of
the screen( do not change any of boxes on the left of the screen.<<< You Have Been Warned!!!!! .
Next scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the left button (flash button w the lighting bolt)
Sit back and watch FlashFire do its magic..
6. After #5 completes, you can now install the xposed installer apk from #2. Once installed open and check framework in the app and you should have this : Xposed framework version 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 2016709 is active.
7. Now go to Download in the xposed installer and download: XTouchWiz 1.1.2 or Wanam Xposed 1.3.0 Made for Samsung Android 5 and 6 Roms by Wanam. You can also download Firefds kit 1.0.5.1 by firefds <<<<< this is just a modified version of XTouchWiz with more stuff added to it.. This works as well on samsung note 7 root method.
8. Once you downloaded it, installed it, then go into the Xposed installer app- modules- you select the the app in #7 by placing a checkmark in the box on the right to activiate the modules.
9. Reboot your phone to activate the module.
10. Enjoy your efforts and customizing your phone:
If you some reason you want to uninstall xposed : flash this:xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip
Awesome.....finally[emoji106]

1. Follow the guide here skipping the root method for now- http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
2. go through setup. add your google account but do not setup samsung account(you'll do this later)
3. once at the homescreen, open google playstore and go to settings and set it to not auto update apps(you can change this back later)(this is to prevent apps from auto updateing as i will be removing most of them)
4. now do the supersu install as instructed in the sprint post
5. once booted back up, open playstore and install flashfire
6. once flashfire is installed flash this zip
7. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237438 - note7update.zip
8. once booted back up. open themes and add your samsung account info.
9. exit themes and open galaxy apps and update all available apps(they should install without errors)
10. you can skip this if you want - install supersu2.77 apk

keep in mind that once you root no payment method will work. however as this does not trip the knox counter. you can odin stock t-mo firmware and samsung pay and android pay will work just fine. you can't have it both ways unfortunately. it's either or
!!!!!!!!
If you guys want Samsung pay....u need to stay stock and use disabler package pro to debloat and like @OvrDriVE said we can't have it all ....either or we gotta give up something. .... but with this breakthrough with root from @freeza.... now WiFi calling and volte work.... we are moving in good direction .... until we all get new note 7 replacement phone in couple week..... happy Labor days guys for people in US.

Ah okay thanks! and do you know if the Bluetooth issues still occur?
I am going to watxh this topic. I know alot of work is going on however i want to see how stable it is before i do anything. I can wait no problem. i know we have been hitting roadblocks and until we have an official root method I am perfectly fine without for now... To all the Devs great job now we wait and see if penetration testing and users can do this method of root. Thank you all for your time and hard work!

i do believe the issue still exist. i havn't tryed replacing the etc folder yet to see if it fixs it or not

Flashable patched TWRP S10 (G973F)
Flashable patched TWRP S10+ (G975F)
Installation procedure for upgrade from BeyondROM v5.4 / v5.5
- Take a full TWRP backup
- Dirty flash or clean flash is ok
Installation procedure for upgrade from BeyondROM less than v5.4
- If you are on stock ROM, follow the attached guide
This ROM version needs minimum ASIG BL and ASIG TWRP/recovery or it won't boot !!!
1. Boot in TWRP and take a full backup before flashing BeyondRom 5.8 ROM zip
2. Copy the ROM zip to your phone (Ext SD preferably)
3. Download Ian’s Multidisabler v1.6 or higher and copy it to your phone
4. Download Ian’s TWRP 3.3.1-11, copy it to your phone and patch it with Magisk Manager or use the patched TWRP from gdrive folder
5. Download the stock FW for your device (S10 or S10+) – Frija is a good tool to use
6. Extract the AP from stock FW, copy it to a temp folder on your internal SD
7. Patch in Magisk Manager the AP
8. Copy the patched AP to your PC and replace the recovery.img inside the AP with the patched TWRP from point 4. Rename the patched TWRP to recovery.img before replacing it into the patched AP
9. Open Odin 3.13.1 or 3.13.3 and fill all slots with: patched AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC. Uncheck the automatic restart and start flashing.
10. Once flashing completed, long press VOL DOWN + POWER until screen becomes black. IMEDIATELY the screen gets black, press VOL UP + BIXBY + POWER BUTTON to enter to TWRP recovery.
11. Once in TWRP, flash the Multidisabler v1.6 and right after flash BeyondROM v5.8 No need to reboot in between.
12. After flashing the ROM zip, save the aroma log, go back to TWRP root menu and select Reboot --> Recovery
13. Wait for the boot up (5-7 minutes) and setup your ROM to your liking
14. Enjoy the release of BeyondROM
Advises
1. Clean install if you have issues with dirty flash; don't start flashing BR5 without a twrp backup of your existing rom
2. If you have flashing issues: check rom zip MD5 hash
3. If you consider that the moded services are the culprit for your SnapChat ban, use stock services.jar provided in the download folder
4. If you like my work, consider buying me a coffee (PayPal link)

They're the same thing. It's just the way your phone is reporting the connection.

You have to choose it in the aroma. You may well have missed the option and a dirty flash will fix it.

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Installed. So far working fine. Thanks OP.
how can I install TWRP for Galaxy S10+
and kernel?
tried this at least half a dozen times and get stuck at the same spot. I can root and get Magisk and be fine. Then I patch the appropriate TWRP file for my kernel (S10+ twrp-beyond2lte-3.3.1-3.1_ianmacd.img) and then I open the .tar file. I exchange out the recovery.img with the newly patched one. Then I repackage as a tar using B1 free archiver (this may be the issue, but it seems fine). It creates a new AP file. I insert that into Odin (the same version that worked previously) along with the corresponding BL, CP, and CSC files (I have tried both CSC and Home CSC). I boot into download, hook up my phone, hit flash and VOILA...NOTHING!!!! It says, "file analysis" and crashes every time. After a while I got sick of trying so I made an attempt to flash the recovery.img file straight through TWRP app by itself. All that did was cause an infinite boot loop. Can anyone please help me? Here are my rom file names.
AP_G975FXXU1ASE7_CL16003457_QB24029035_REV01_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5
BL_G975FXXU1ASE7_CL16003457_QB24029035_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G975FXXU1ASE5_CP12748354_CL16003457_QB23792291_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_G975FOXM1ASE5_CL16003457_QB23792291_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_G975FOXM1ASE5_CL16003457_QB23792291_REV01_user_low_ship.tar
MM Pre-patched AP + TWRP name is "magisk_patched + TWRP.tar."
The TWRP file I downloaded was: twrp-beyond2lte-3.3.1-3.1_ianmacd.img which I of course renamed to recovery.img.
THEN AFTER I GET THIS WORKING, DO I JUST FLASH STRAIGHT THE ZIP FOR THE CUSTOM ROM INSIDE TWRP AND THAT'S IT?
TIA
I just noticed that every time I create the tar file it eliminates the .MD5 extension. Can I just edit the file name to include the .MD5 or do I have to do something special to actually modify the file? Thank you.

I think your archive editor isn't up to scratch, install 7zip from here Download
Try using this recovery, its a working pre magisk patched image G973F_magisk_patched3.3.1-3.1.img
Rename it to recovery.img and replace the one inside your magisk patched version of AP_G975FXXU1ASE7_CL16003457_QB24029035_REV01_user_ low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5 using 7zip. Then flash with odin.
Hope this helps

Just delete md5 extension, you don't need that. Odin will flash *.tar file without any problems
Thank you for the reply. There are three things that I'm not sure about. All the versions of 7zip that I have used can't create or edit tar files. The second is my device is 975F not 973. Finally, what are the exact steps to replace the recovery file in 7ZIP? That seems to be where it's having the hangup.
@oggi21 I only added that extension as a last resort. It won't flash the regular tar file once I add the patched AP with TWRP recovery using the B1 archiver. Any help would be appreciated.
Any chance of US CSC's like TMB could be implemented?

The best way is to take any tar file (AP or whatever) and open it in 7zip. Then put yours files in it and delete all others that was inside
