======================= Some Notes =======================
1. the touch isn't working in Recovery , how can i navigate/choose something ?
> Use the Buttons Volume up for scrolling up and volume down for scrolling down and power button to choose
2. why did you tell me to un-check Auto-reboot
> because auto-reboot will boot the phone to the stock android and the stock android will over write the new recovery with the stock one
3. what is odin ?
> odin is a tool made by Samsung for flashing stock ROMs and other .tar files it detects what is inside the .tar file and then flash it to the right partition inthis case we are flashing a recovery
4. i can't do step 10 !!
>please install the correct drivers for the phone ( from here )
IMPORTANT: DO NOT UN-ZIP ANYTHING EXCEPT ODIN

How do I copy the GApps file and ROM into the sdcard?

Use the USB cord
Choose the Two files and select copy
And paste them in the sdcard/external storage

Fixided said:
Thank you, you've been really helpful.
I copied it, wish me luck on the next step.
Question: I assume Delta is an update.
How do you update the phone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In setting > About > CM Updates
You will get notified if there is anew update
However the updater app download something called delta update
Those deltas are small in size and help you to install the update faster because its smaller in size
However you must not change anything in system partition because it checks if the Apps are their or not ( to avoid problem because it patches the new updated thing and doesn't have every single APK )
So if you modified system you can"t use deltas
But you can download the full zip and flash it without any problem

⠀⠀

Fixided said:
I don't really understand, could you elaborate on system changes?
Thanks so much for the guide! It went well.
Q: How do I transfer my contacts?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Like xposed framework, deleting system apps , editing build.prop
To transfer contacts you should have uploaded them to Google account and the system will sync them with your mobile whenever you login to your Google account
If you didn't do that you will need to re-add them to contact app
But this time choose Google account not local phone account

[HOW TO] Fix ODIN fail while updating to 6.0.1 MM

I had a hard time updating my 928F to 6.0.1 via odin,
everytime i start flashig i get fail message from odin and my phone get stuck on dowloading screen,
But after a few tries, watching couple of "how to videos" and a little bit of luck i managed to pull it out.
So lets get started:-​
Prerequisites:
1. Stock 6.0.1 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. 7zip from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
3. Last version of ODIN from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
4. TWRP (I mean compatible)
1. First, for best result you need to do a clean flash by doing advanced wipe from TWRP (Dalvik / ART Cache - Cache - Data - Internal storage - System).
2. Unzip the firmware you dowloaded and you should get xxxxxxxx.Tar.md5
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Rename to xxxxxxxx.tar
4. Unzip it again and you should get that:
5. Rename "Hidden.img" to "Hidden.img.tar
6. Make a new folder and move what you get from last unzip EXCEPT "Hidden.img.tar".
7. Using 7zip,
8. After 7zip finish up, load the new compressed file in ODIN "AP" or "PDA" section.
9. Boot your phone into Dowloading mode and connect it to your PC.
10. Press start on ODIN.
11. Now after ODIN finish flashing and before your phone is rebooting, Enter Dowloading mode again and flash "Hidden.img.tar"
12. Now your phone should start up and install new update in stock recovery.
13. If you got stuck in bootloop, boot in stock recovery an perform a factory reset and wipe cache.

for the one that roots the device with magisk. when it have random reboots delete the mcregistry files with 000000013 at end and it dont reboots anymore
Ok maybe a stupid question but if I just want the recovery so I can make full nandroid backups (so I can return my pink screen device then just restore the nandroid on a new device without having to set up everything again!!), can I flash this without worrying about it tripping knox?

I Unlocked Bootloader, installed twrp and rooted the device using this guide, " https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-newbie-resource-thread-bootloader-t3995285 ".
Now I have rooted Realme 5 Pro RMX 1971 with Realmeos Build c.07.
I downloaded Evolution X 4.7 Rom zip file and followed the instructions given in thread to flash zip file. But after flashing when I tried to reboot in system, it gave me a message on swipe screen that OS is not installed but still I swiped to boot in system. My device tried to boot a couple of time and ended up in fastboot again. Fortunately I had already made backup so I restored my backup.
Hence again I am on Rooted Relame 5 pro RMX1971 with realmeos build c.07.
What wrong did I do?
Do format data in twrp.format is not wiping data

I hope it helps you!
Hi, thanks for this helpful guide! I have a question/problem, I did all this steps and the flash started but it got stuck at system.img for more than an hour so I canceled by holding Volume DOWN + Power button, now I have a message saying: an error occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smartswitch pc software. I tried that but my device doesn't show up it just tells me to use it there too. I've retried flashing using the same version but still gets stuck at the same place. I am trying to download my original firmware I really hope it'll work.
Edit: I tried with original firmware and still got stuck at over 50% .
Edit2: I tried using a normal USB-C to USB cable and stock firmware worked

Yeah no problem mate, I was just desperate at the time xD
Anyone done this on a SM-N975u that has been bootloader unlocked and rooted?
Is the USERDATA file from the firmware really required? I am thinking of flashing the one UI 3.0 USC firmware ( SM-N975U) in SM-N975U1 and got USERDATA in the firmware i downloaded.

Ok i worked around the "invalid zip format error"
i tried all the versions from v2.0 to 3.1.. none worked
then i extracted the version 3.1 on my pc, i went inside the folder and i created the zip file of the "META_INF" folder
then i copied META-INF.zip file to my mobile and it worked
Hope this helps everyone
This is my first time rooting a device btw.. lol

My file flashed without error. u may try it.
Why does magisk dissappear when I reboot? I'm not talking about when Magisk asks to reboot, i get past that magisk is still good but if i have to reboot again it dissappears.
