Hello, I'm having trouble trying to install a custom rom into this device. The thing is that I had the stock 4.4.2 rom, then I managed to root it, and then I also installed TWPR so I could install the custom rom afterwards, well it turns out that I ran into trouble when I realized that after flashing the custom rom I couldn't get it to boot, and then I thought that it might be related to the bootloader. Isn't this tablet's bootloader locked? I know the bootloader gets updated when I update the stock rom, and I suppose it was and I'm on kk bootloader since I'm on 4.4.2 stock. Well it could be that the bootloader is locked and needs to be unlocked? I remember this was true for an HTC I used to have and for my current LG. But I don't know what to do, I mananaged to revert it back to stock after flashing the custom rom since I couldn't get it to work, I'm using odin for everything and following the instructions to the letter, being very careful and all, always wiping data partition and cache before. When following instructions didn't help I decided to try a few things on my own. I first flashed the root, then TWPR then the custom rom, then I tried TWPR, custom rom and then root, then root and custom rom. I've tried like all possible combinations to no avail it gets stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition logo and the custom rom doesn't boot. I'm so desperate since this is the first android device I haven't been able to install a custom rom on. Now I'm back to stock and lost everything, have to start from scratch now since I didn't back up, I had nothing important on my tablet, but still... I really need someone to help me out. My tablet is working fine now but with stock, no luck with custom rom (Hyperdrive) I don't wanna try other rom because I'm still thinking it has to do with the bootloader, but I don't know if it's locked or what.
sure, boot was ended ? If I remenber well, you need to be patient for first boot of hyperdrive rom, about ten minutes.
if you have have trouble with flashing, may I suggest you to update your tab step by step.
1) reinstall stock rom (seems you have already done that)
2) flash twrp 2.6.X (reboot, and keep time to manage a backup, use your tab, ...)
3) flash a custom rom with twrp (you will be able to restore some data from your backup if needed)
a good way is also to use your stock rooted rom with xposed modules. So you will be able to customize your tab like a custom rom do.

Are you on P605 or P600? The Hyperdrive rom is not for all variants.

Thank you, I've done all those steps, I've reinstalled the stock rom several times and, then I've flashed twpr 2.6.X and I've also tried with 2.7.X just in case, and I've had to root before or after installing the stock rom because if I don't I can't boot from stock either Ohh yes, I was very patiend the fist time it booted, I waited 15 minutes

I'm on P600 and the Hyperdrive version I picked was made for P600 too, I'm sure of that
So i went through the rooting process just fine. Go to install TWRP with the Install TWRP app. When i get to the install part, i choose the recovery version to install then click install recovery, reboots found then i get a dead android with a red triangle.
From what i assume something is locked. the bootloader i believe?
I've searched and searched and all i can seem to come up with is having to downgrade to kitkat. Is this true and no way around it?
I think you are on lollipop .. Cos it doesnt work on lollipop
forget about twrp manager. use auto rec to get custom recovery.

Hey guys I had a couple questions regarding rooting the opportunity Find 7a. First off I have ColorOS v 2.1.5i and everytime I try to install TWRP onto it nothing happens, even though the computer says it has been flashed successfully. I restart my phone into recovery mode and the oppo recovery is still there. You guys have any ideas?
Also when I had the older version of colorOS, I could install TWRP but then SuperSU would never work. It kept saying the binaries weren't installed properly. Any ideas on that ?
Your guys help would be appreciated since I really wna root this phone
Thanks
Try fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img it should boot directly into twrp then
I couldn't root my phone in Color Os 2.0.8i untill i reflashed the rom and installed latest twrp then it asked me for root and i pressed ok.
Yea I tried what jthatch12 told me do and it worked and superSu finally installed properly
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install magisk for the past 6 hours so that I can install gcam!! I have tried so many combinations but still fail in bootloop. I am on miui china MIUI 10.2.20 PEDCNXM. Can someone please post a step by step tutorial for installing magisk? I can install TWRP just fine, the one from nijel8. But i really at my limit for this one, can someone please help?? I really need GCAM.
Anybody??
Mount all possible partitions in TWRP, then install magisk 17.1. start the phone.
It is possible that you will have to install magisk manager manually from the phone.
I have been trying to root my J6 SM-J600FN for a while, and I thought I was getting close to rooting it when I installed TWRP. But then, my phone was stuck in a boot-loop. I was able to fix it by installing current firmware, and I decided to attempt it a second time. I got the same result. Is there anything I can use to install TWRP that doesn't result in a boot-loop? I just want my phone rooted and be done with it.
As far as i know, trying to root stock rom isn't easy. I could be wrong but idk. You can try by:
1. Flashing stock
2. Flashing TWRP
3. Format data
4. Flash DM-Verity and Disable Force-Encrypt then flash magisk.
And i think you can't flash kernels on stock. I could be wrong but idk.
Hey, how did you even install TWRP?
Before I tried installing it my model number was "SM-J600 FN/DS" and now after the install, when I plug it into my pc it says that it's "FN-600G." Whenever I try to boot it in system mode it's stuck in a loop.
I haven't tried flashing the newest firmware yet because I can't even download it for my country.
Sorry, I am a total newbie and can't seem to fix it.

Hi Guys,
Did you manage to do this? I was experiencing the same bootloop issue and I think it is the version of Twrp (I was using 3.3.1-0).
I used Odin to flash a lower version 3.2.3 found here after which I flashed this DM Verity + Magisk.
Root Success!
