This is NOT my work (Ianmacd) and guide is written by Mr Pickles all credits to him for his install method.
Also this is just a copy and paste but the guide is well written and TWRP should cause less issues.
I'm sure Gieti94 is just perhaps busy with other commitments, credit also to him for his fantastic efforts.
Just a new space for the currently working TWRP so all don't get in a pickle.

Excellent installation Guide below
Install Guide
---------------------------
- NOT A SINGLE STEP IS UNNESSECARY
- DO THEM _ALL_ EXACTLY!
- ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE - BACKUP!
---------------------------------------
DO NOT INSTALL MODPACK FROM SOLDIER - IT BREAKS TWRP!
---------------------------------------
If you have any problems - contact @PiCkLeS or on Telegram by PiCkLeS or @rp4k
---------------------------------------
All development is by @ianmacd (Ian Macdonald).
---------------------------------------
0 - No matter what you have today, no root or Magisk-only solution or TWRP with Magisk-solution, do ALL the steps..
1 - Make sure you copy the "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" file and "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" file to your sd-card before you start!
2 - Download latest firmware via Samfirm or Frija or in any way you can, and unpack.
3 - Boot your phone to Download mode (Power+Bixby+VolDown) and remember to have the USB connected to your computer, it won't boot to DL-mode otherwise
4 - Keep autoboot etc in Odin settings, put each file in its place (AP, BL, CSC etc) and _dont_ use HOME_CSC, use CSC-only-file.
5 - After Odin is done, your phone will reboot automatically - let it! It can feel like forever, but let it do its restarts and stuff until you are in system-setup
6 - Do the setup as per usual, CONNECT TO WIFI but you can safely just say Skip on sign in and other stuff
7 - When setup says its all finished and you get to the standard launcher - go into Settings and enable Developer settings
8 - This step IS necessary.. If you don't do this step, you might get in pre-normal rrm state and you will have wait 7 days to try again: Enter Developer settings and look for the "OEM Unlock" switch - if you are rooting for the first time, Enable it. If you already have root since before or unlocked your bootloiader before, just confirm that its Enabled and graded out.
9 - If you already have an unlocked bootloader, skip to step 12. If not, continue with step 10.
10 - IF you never have unlocked your bootloader before, Power off the phone and boot into download mode again. You will see the long press volUp option for unlock bl, do that.
11 - IF you never have unlocked OEM before, boot the phone again, do the setup without signing in etc but connect to wifi, enable dev settings, go into dev settings and check that OEM now is enabled and grayed out.
12 - Reboot the phone in recovery mode (Power+Bixby+VolUp and keep holding until you are in stock recovery. Choose and do a factory reset.
13 - Reboot to bootloader with option in Recovery.
14 - Flash the tar you got (S10x-TWRP+Magisk_fixed_by_Ian.tar I Odin in the AP-slot. DISABLE auto reboot in Odin first!
15 - When the tar has flashed - Do as instructed on the phone, hold Power+VolDown for a few seconds and AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK -> quickly press power+bixby+volUp for a _long_ time, and I mean it can feel as if its a full minute! After a while you will see TWRP starting with its start screen, you can now let go and enter TWRP.
16 - FORMAT data, then WIPE data AND Cache. DO NOT LET IT REBOOT
17 - Flash "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" from SD card
18 - Go back to start screen of TWRP, Choose Reboot, Choose Recovery - YOU MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE REBOOT TO RECOVERY and _NOT_ system!
19 - Let the phone reboot into system, it will do some reboots it self, and again it will feel like it takes FOREVER - Just let it do its thing and DO NOT PRESS ANY KEYS!
20 - When your phone is finally done booting, just do the normal setup/signing for real this time.
21 - When you are done and in system/launcher, install "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" from SD card and verify that you now have Magisk Manager installed.
22 - Start Magisk Manager and say YES to what it says, it will do some stuff and then say "Rebooting in 5 seconds" - LET IT BOOT AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY KEYS this time either..
23 - Now when booted to system, start Magisk Manager and see that you have all green and its installed.
24 - Now you have root.
** Every time you reboot manually, be prepared to hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and let it reboot, you will have root.
** Every time you power off the phone, when you power ON again, hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and it will boot with root.
** Every time you want to enter TWRP-recovery, do as above but KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS UNTIL TWRP-start screen shows then release. Remember to choose reboot to recovery afterwards and you will boot with root.
** IF you screw up and forget or miss the key combo, just let it boot to system, immediately when system is up - reboot again and do the key combo and all is fine again.
This is me just trying to get an emergency first aid space, nothing more, I'm NOT trying to take any credits or dismiss Gieti94.
Thanks All

This is my tutorial and not r4pk. And I'd prefer that you use the download I provide here and no where else to make sure the right files gets downloaded when updated.
http://bit.ly/2VlcqYd

Yea I can keep the OP updated, this is just an emergency first aid thread, thanks to Pickles for his well written guide.
I'm really not wanting to offend anyone, just for all to make life a bit easier....
very nice to have a reliable twrp solution, pitty that we don't have too many things to flash in recovery
Please remove the alternate download link, I have updated the multidisabler zip with a important update, v1.1 and the one download link for all is just for things like that, the other download link still have the old zip.
Very important that everyone uses Ian Macdonald's new v1.1 multidisabler script.
/P
I can update the mega link with the new disabler I reposted it to mega because I can't access Google @PiCkLeS

I understand. But that doesn't seem to be a big problem for any one else and the bigger problem is that you risk having a link that is being used by the people only see it here and don't read anywhere else, or this message, and end up with old information or even worse, outdated files.
I can help you get the files on PM but please remove these links outside of my drive, which I maintain every day and keep up to date. It's not for vanity, it's for safety.
For now please edit your text and remove the link. All must use v1.1 of the multidisabler zip by Ian.

Maybe this thread was a bad idea, as stated I am around and willing to keep things up to date
I know the importance, and how things are at present.

Listen, just to be clear. I and I dont think Ian have a problem with you having this thread.
All I am worried about is the download link. Things can and are happening fast. If there are multiple sources for downloading files in this case, and today one was updated with important improvements, and there are many places to download from people can miss that and download old files that can cause big problems.
Keep the downloading to one good source and everything will be fine. The thread in it self can do much good by showing that there is an alternative, it works and right now almost 100 people in 24 hours have used it. Fantastic!
So I dont think it was a bad idea, I just dont want PM:s from people in a week or two asking why their device suddenly lost data, only to find out that they downloaded from a source that didnt have the latest files.
Thats all.

I fully appreciate and understand that, the reason I created as I have plenty of time to maintain, and will keep it up to date I have been around for quite some time, if you look at my posts (search) I have had almost every device you can think of, currently have the Vivo IQOO also, I have enough experience to understand the important and implications.
I don't want your PM's to be going crazy so I'll fully respect your decisions and will keep everything updated also. But it is better if everything is tody and not one thing here and there, OP has been updated with your direct link, is this cool?
Just thought by creating this thread that it might help, my sincere and good intentions are hopefully evident

hi ,
do you have the OEM switched to on?
if not , you need it ..... if you can't get it because you are waiting the 7 days , you can make this trick
open settings and set the date 8 days before ... then reboot
so you can enable OEM in developer settings

Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.
Links :
Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.
gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).

Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......
Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.
Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.
Screenshots of network range:

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:
Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.
Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.

Guys, tell me your favourite colours for this little batch script and i will create 3 modded version with different colours! The beta3 will be published the next week due to much much work on it. It will has: HBOOT Upgrader, an how to and more more functions! The size is decreased of 30%. Sorry for this little problem
Some trouble.
Hello and thank you for your effort! I tried to flash twrp2853-endeavoru-NewLayout over the old one but while in recovery, the phone stays stuck at twrp hox welcome screen. Any idea of how can I pass this and access the twrp menu?

Hmmm. Isn't passing at all TWRP welcome screen? The phone can boot up in fastboot? If yes, Try this: go on Resources-ADB_TOOLS. Right click on ADB_TOOLS and select command prompt. Then reboot your phone in bootloader mode and type: fastboot erase cache , press enter, type fastboot reboot bootloader or fastboot reboot-bootloader and try to access in recovery.
P.s. tomorrow i will publish beta3 with HBOOT Upgrader and much much more!

Thanks for reply! I've just tried what you suggested but in recovery I still can't pass the twrp ''hox teamwin big'' screen. If I put the old layout back everything is fine again but can't flash any newer rom.
I must tell you though, that I've tried to install it before using different ways but I had the same result There's no way to pass the twrp new layout's start scxreen. So I guess there's something wrong on my side... (I had cwmr before, it may be that?). If you have any other suggestion i'll be happy to try, If not I'll try to dig more.
Once again, thank you for your work and support.

I don't know for sure, but I rather think your zip file is ok. The flashing was ok, no errors. It's probably my phone. Of course, a double check on the code doesn't hurt, it just might be loosing time for nothing. Of course, if you will come back with something new tomorrow I will try my luck again

I will check the code asap. In 10 minutes i will update you... No, if it's your phone other recoveries doesn't boot at all. Anyway, i will check. Retry and update me. Good luck!
Edit: I've checked all the code, of all recoveries.Now i will add stock HTC Recovery (if anyone wants the stock recovery). Anyway... I will add another TWRP with New Layout Support.
Edit2: Check the beta3!
Beta3 is out! Check the new version! It has 7 more functions. You can find them in OP post at Downloads section!

Okay, so... The process for me is a bit complicated because now i'm a win user, and not a linux user due to my bad pc (only 1gig of ram, single core 1.66GHz), but i can create an .sh script that can do this process automatically. Maybe if this work i will create some .sh script to build some custom rom . I need only to write the code that is in the guide (maybe with 2-3 sec of delay too and some echo) and optimizing them with some request. Anyway, stay tuned!
This method creates the ability to debloat the Verizon GS7 (non-Edge Snapdragon) by modifying @jrkruse's method for the S7 edge posted here. Huge thanks to jrkruse for making the GS7 what it should be without massive bloat.
After my OP, he and @CVertigo1 evolved the method to fix the safetynet fail issues, so it now should work perfectly. I personally have not yet tried the updated method but will do so tomorrow. I'm copying instructions from the CVertigo1 thread here, but also keeping the old instructions below in post 1.
Knox counter is still 0x0, and I can confirm I have repeatedly used Samsung pay.
New CVertigo1 method:
CVertigo1 said:
Yet again, all thanks go to @jrkruse for this one. I have modified his zip to work on the Verizon S7 flat. The ROM is silky smooth since it uses the factory kernel. I'm going to tweak his instructions to work for the flat. I can confirm that SafetyNet passes using this method.
Download
ODIN v3.12.3.zip
Firmware bundle for the G930. Includes VZW and TMO firmware (G930VVRU4BQA2 and G930TUVU4BQB1) as well as engineering bootloader and stock boot_recovery.image
S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip
VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V5_VZWS7FLAT.zip
Install Instructions From Any Build
Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don't follow them to the T, don't complain.
1) Unzip Odin and the firmware bundle zips. Boot the phone into download mode and flash the G930T BL, AP, and CP files in Odin.
2) Don't bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk and VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V5_VZWS7FLAT.zip to your SD card.
3) Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin. This file was in the firmware bundle.
4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC.
5) Now install FlashFire. Go into FlashFire settings and click option to allow flashing Bootloaders.
6) Now click flash firmware and chose AP_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449107_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 SELECT ALL OF THE PARTIONS!!!
7) Now click install zip and choose VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V5_VZWS7FLAT.zip Make sure to click mount system when FlashFire asks. View attachment 4073928
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP!!!!!!!- Thanks @dclutter1
8) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first(it will take a couple minutes to find and flash everything), then the Aroma installer will start.
9) In Aroma, select wipe data(DO NOT KEEP SU)
10) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.

older method just for the record
Here is an OLDER METHOD with ADB install
Download stuff:
ODIN v3.12.3.zip
Firmware bundle for the G930. Includes VZW and TMO firmware (G930VVRU4BQA2 and G930TUVU4BQB1) as well as engineering bootloader and stock boot_recovery.image
ROM: There are two basic options to choose from:
PlayStore Rom - so called because it has almost NO apps and you download what you want from the PlayStore. Has an experience very similar to the Pixel.
Hybrid ROM - close to Samsung Stock experience by massively debloated
Method:
Reboot phone to recovery wipe data
Reboot to bootloader
In odin flash:
In BL slot: BL_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
In AP slot: AP_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449118_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
In CP slot: CP_G930TUVU4BQB1_CL10376601_QB12449107_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Leave CSC slot Blank
Go through setup don't add any accounts your going to wipe again when finished reboot back to bootloader
In odin Flash Engineering Boot.img from above (in AP slot)
When phone reboots and computer reconnects to phone Open HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_ROM.zip folder
Click Verizon_TMO_PlayStore_Install.bat
When done click press to continue the phone will reboot back to download mode
In odin flash:
In CSC slot: CSC_VZW_G930VVZW4BQA2_CL10280325_QB12417265_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
In AP slot: G930TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5.tar
Phone will reboot to recovery and fail
In Recovery click Mount System
Wipe data
Reboot phone
During Boot Phone will Say Custom Status this will change after phone is setup and a reboot is performed
Once through setup open Rom Control App
Navigate to Phone and Settings
Click on IMS Settings
Choose Ims service switch
Click on MMTEL switch
Click on RCS switch
Under MMTEL section I enabled all the options
Click Back Button until your back to Phone and Settings Menu in Rom Control
Choose Activate Advanced Calling
Make sure under Advanced Calling that HD and Video calls are enabled
Activate WifiCalling
Known issues:
Safety net check fails (so Venmo does not work)
Some sites are blocked. Turning on "data saver" in Chrome settings worked for me but not everyone
I found that I had to go into settings > applications > phone and explicitly choose the phone as my default application for calls before it would correctly create a notification when the phone rang.
Some slightly more varsity moves:
Keeping apps from your stock:
You can modify the .bat file to not remove any apps you want to keep.
For example, I wanted to keep the "always on" display, so I deleted these lines from the .bat file:
Code:
adb shell rm -r /system/priv-app/AODService_v20
You can also further delete apps. Essentially during steps 5 - 7 above, the phone is rooted. During that time you can remove other packages. (My advice would be to pull them to your computer so you can push them back if needed)
For instance, I wanted to remove Hangouts, the AOSP browser (I use Chrome) and VisualVoiceMail. So I repeated step 5, then did:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/VisualVoicemail
adb shell rm -r /system/app/VisualVoicemail
adb reboot bootloader
Then repeat steps 9 - 11
Wipe CACHE, (NOT data)
Reboot
Cool, cant wait to walk a friend thru this.
Just got up and running on PlayStore, everything seems good except I can't get the call recording to work. Thanks for putting this together

Where is this .bat file?
Also, on jrkruse's thread, I only see a single ROM for download: VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_STOCK_V2.zip. Am I missing something?
Edit: I found the Play Store ROM; it contains the .bat file. The new ROM in jrkruse's OP won't work with this method, I assume.

Yes It appears he updated his method to one that uses a different kind of temporary root as well as flashable files. I'll have to look at it and see if it's customizable the way the other one was, but it looks like you found the correct playstore ROM zip from before. Here is the other ROM. Sorry for the confusion.
Do we need to flash the Verizon modem? And if so would you have a flashable file? Thanks,
if i want to just put the tmobile firmware on my verizon phone and still use verizon service, do i just flash the tmobile firmware and then the verizon csc file and call it a day? not looking for the debloat and all that other stuff. just straight up tmobile firmware working on verizon.

I tried but the .zip kept failing so maybe I didn't create it right.... So ultimately I did not bother and my service seems just fine at the moment.

I think that would work (and wouldn't think you need to bother with the engineering bootloader steps either then) but to be honest it might be safer to ask jrkruse, because I don't deeply understand it - really just adapted his method for the S7 flat.
You speak of rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache. How exactly? All I seem to get is a dead robot on my screen.
Am I missing something?
Attempting this on a G930V, FWIW.

Step 10.
Hmm, It seems that I wasn't holding the buttons down long enough.
If DL = Damn Long, then, yes, I agree.
OK, made it to step 15 and now I'm boned.
I had to install that ROM Control app manually as it didn't get pushed to the phone for some reason.
While attempting to follow along by clicking on IMS Settings, a toast message complains about no CSC binary or customer.xml
EDIT:
Hmm, I'll just wait a bit until you all get this sorted out I guess. In the meantime, it's back to stock for me.

If ROM control didn't install manually it's because the .bat file didn't execute correctly. Did you modify it? Did it successfully acquire root and execute all the commands all the way through to the "click to continue" prompt? OR did it give error messages along the way? (There will be a few during the remove steps because it's removing packages that only exist on the S7 edge, not flat.
I would try it again if you have the patience.
I didn't modify anything.
I only recall a few minor errors regarding removal of non-existent directories.
Yes, the script went through to the end.
Yes, the phone had root and the TMobile rom wouldn't let me forget it, lol.
It kept complaining the whole way through.

Can you do me a huge favor and install 'Phone info *Samsung*' from the PlayStore and upload a screenshot of the firmware page. I replicated jrkruse method since he changed it, but swapped the boot.img for the S7 flat images. Everything works great, but I fail SafetyNet. I need to find out where I'm mixed up. If I can figure this out, then I believe I can make a simple zip to take care of everything else.

Erm the issue i have with ChinaRom is that I cant use my own homescreen launcher... even with root I cant bypass it... so I have to be on Global ROM... but china variant with global rom causes boot loop.... and seeing that you are using the only TWRP available i think the results are the same...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/help/help-to-unbrick-china-redmi-note-8-pro-t4004681
So does anyone have any idea how I can unbrick? Should I REM out the antirollback check lines in flash_all.bat?
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
My phone came with the Global EU (EEA) version ROM, i have flashed Global (MI) version. Will this method still work or will it cause bootloop? I don't want to brick my device so asking in advance. I was lucky to just get stuck in bootloop with my previous try using a different recovery.
P.S. I used MiFlash Tool and flashed the ROM through Fastboot.
Hey Pritish1998,
I must admit, I was a little leery, after reading all the other threads about installing twrp and rooting and the horror stories they contained. Well, your instructions seemed fairly simple. I followed them EXACTLY... and I lost my ass, everything got wiped, my imei, everything!!!
Totally kidding, everything worked perfectly, I followed your steps exactly as stated. I did not loose any data, nothing, every app, all my downloads, everything is still on my phone. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Also, TWRP, is still installed, didn't get wiped out by the stock recovery. I have root, and oh, I am on MIUI Global, on the United States phone I ordered off of Amazon. More Specifically, MIUI Global 11.0.1.0(PGGMIXM) Android Version 9 PPR1.180610.011. I received the MIUI 11 update about 3 days ago, and was still waiting the 160 some hours out for the bootloader unlock. I just got the bootloader unlocked about 3 hours ago. Went through numerous instructions and posts and this one seemed to make the most sense. I wasn't sure about MIUI 11 working, but fudge it, I thought I would just return the phone if I had a problem, but nope, you're instructions were clear and precise and I followed them to a tee and its working great and I have Magisk and did the safetynet update, and I'm all good.
I haven't updated Magisk to 20.1 though. Didn't want to press my luck.
Thanks so much bro, really, thank you.
this procedure worked as well on an indonesian 11.0.1. rom!!!
thx!
Hello good day! I have a question about TRWP:
1) Is it safe to install this TRWP f I am on 11.0.1.0 PGGEUXM?
Has anyone else done it since rom EEA instead of Gobal (MI)?
Thank you
Thank you very much, magisk works perfectly

Why create a new thread without giving any credits. It's cluttering the forum.
Reported, read the FAQ about telegram.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ABOVE POST BUT MORE INFORMATIVE. The link you claimed to be original is for the Chinese device only not for the Global. TWRP is also different. Check the files.

No need for caps lock. We can read.
It was initially a double post he just edited it later and changed it to a guide, which is fine.
It's the same procedure like initial Chinese twrp which was and is already posted here.
I'm on xiaomi.eu beta Android 10 but now i can't boot the recovery, any ideas?

Place rom in root of storage and reboot. Once detected click to update. Reboot again to finish.
For those with root already and wishing to keep root, simply put the rom in root of storage, reboot and click to update when prompted. BUT, DON'T reboot yet when it finishes updating. Click 'later', go to magisk manager and choose 'install magisk'. When given the options for installing, select 'after OTA' (or words like that). Once magisk is installed again, select reboot. Root will be maintained. Saving the hassle of flashing the root img via fastboot.
-----------------------------------------
For those of you who are not yet rooted but would like to be using the boot img above, see below for guidance. NOTE: if something goes wrong, I am not responsible in any way!! Also, by unlocking bootloader (which is required for root), you will void your warranty.
Also note: you must update to latest 2004.9 rom from above links before starting this process. Should you wish to do this process another time with another update, you MUST ALWAYS match the root boot img for the same rom version you are using.
1. First you need to unlock the bootloader. Download and install the apk from link, then follow instructions. NOTE: doing this wipe the device. Do not power off the device or stop the process once started. I think the device will reboot a couple of times during the process, but ican't remember sorry... Just leave it to do its thing and once finished, proceed to step 2.
Get the bootloader unlock tool, which says in the description that it's compatible with android 10, from here. You'll find it under tools/utilities.
2. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot app (windows). Install it on your PC/laptop to C drive
3. Download the root2004.9 boot img from above and move/save it to (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder)
4. Switch the phone into fastboot mode (from device being in off/powered down, hold volume up then press and hold power button). Fastboot is the first screen you see with a scrollable menu giving some other options, don't select any options... just stay in that mode. Connect the phone to pc/laptop using the SIDE port of the phone. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and double click the cmd-here.exe, this will open a cmd window.
5. (optional, but recommended) Once your phone is connected in fastboot mode and you have your cmd window open, type 'fastboot devices' in the cmd window. If your device is recognised then a key/serial will be displayed. Providing this is shown, proceed to step 6.
6. Next you are going to flash the root boot img (which, if you followed the instructions, should be in the Minimal ADB folder). In the cmd window type 'fastboot flash boot magisk_patched2004.9.img'. Once completed without errors, your device will now have a rooted boot img flashed. Yey!!
7. Now you can go ahead and unplug your device and boot it up. I did this months ago when I first got the phone, so you'll have to forgive me.... I can't remember if magisk manager is installed during the above process or if you have to install it manually after. If, when you have booted to system, there is no 'magisk manager' in your app drawer, you'll need to install yourself from here scroll about half way down the page and you'll see the downloads section. Go for the latest stable (currently 7.5.1).
8. Download a root checker app from playstore to verify you have root and you're done. If you need to resort back to original boot img, download it from above and follow the same process, but instead type 'fastboot flash boot boot2004.9.img'.

bro,im not saying youre disturbing or whatsoever,you should make a detailed thread.unlike me im kinda dumb,i dont understand this Root boot img and so on. and making your own thread will allow more people will see your thread as i doubt many people will come to this thread to read...
Can anyone check to confirm whether heating is still on an issue on the new version?

Nah, should be fine here. People will still see the update in your title and click to view content. And for those that want root who are not already rooted I'll add some instructions in a while or tomorrow about how to use the boot img's (on my phone right now, it's easier if I do it on pc). Links and details are only the second post on the page so people will still see the info they need. So yeah, if it's OK with you I'll just leave the content here rather than starting another thread with the same title

I'd like to shed some light on this for you but I'm not a heavy gamer (I assume that's when the device gets hot mainly) and have never had any heating issues with any of the builds

Hmm, you should be able to update from latest A9 (1910.64) to A10. I'm guessing that the updater app only downloads the small incremental updates. These will fail unless you update 1 by 1, going up one version each time.
If you wanna jump straight to latest update (currently this one) download the FULL rom zip from post 2 of this thread. Put that in root of storage and reboot. Should hopefully not fail now and you'll be on latest.

Thanks man. Basically I had issues on A10 heating up even while just browsing the web. I would open up Armory Crate > Console and the CPU temp would be around 40+ Celsius. So now I'm back on A9, which shows temps of 30 Celsius with normal use.
well, video recording while connected to usb mic still doesn't work with the asus camera app

So the incremental worked direct from 1910.64 to latest? Or you had to go through each incremental?

Man that sucks. I've had zero heating issues even with leaving X mode on permanently @120Hz
Had to do this with each incremental update!

I've also suffered from battery and performance issues in A10. A9 was just fabulous, A10 was a step back.
I'm also a heavy gamer and just updated so I'll be sure to let you know what's going on.
P.S I did manage to improve performance and some battery life by installing the only real custom kernel we have, but which is a great one - kirisakura + Naptime with doze on Google play services.

I had the same problem with the incremental update. Just use the full ROM linked in the op.
Thanks for the Rooted Image.
Hi just chasing the raw rom if anyone has it please!
