Hello out there,
I need help with a problem; I want to use twrp to flash .zips to my Lineage, but everything is encrypted, so, as i found out, i need TWRP 3.2.3, but (Brain damage = twrp 3.2.3 for razer tv, but not for phone, how.) it is not available for cheryl, so now, I need help of you guys; does anybody know, where i can find a TWRP 3.2.3 for my phone? otherwise im scre***.
Ty for your Help

UPDATE: So, I couldn't really wait, went ahead and flashed TWRP. It installed just fine, as long as you get into recovery immediately, TWRP sticks. I flashed SuperSU and rebooted and got into a boot loop, so had to flash the stock firmware again and everything is fine again. No idea why the bootloop, so if some expert knows, please share

So, T-Mobile/Samsung FINALLY delivered 5.1.1 on the P607T and it looks quite awesome so far. My device was rooted and had twrp, so I had to flash with odin and now have neither twrp nor root. While I know that its only a matter of time before the community updates the tools to make it easy for us to root, I wonder if somebody could tell me if its okay to flash the existing twrp_2.8.7.0_4.4 build on this new ROM?
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that with Lollipop, Android moved to a new FS, but suspect this only applies to the system and boot partitions? That flashing recovery should be fine, and worst case, twrp will not stick? But, just in case, it would be great to know if this is true from someone with more experience ... If yes, then I can try to flash twrp and see if SuperSU still works through ODIN.
Thanks!

I tried root/TWRP using the P605 NEE thread method and I get the bootloop. It takes the modified ROM but not the SuperSU. Anyone else get root on P607T 5.1.1 yet?
From what I gather so far, 5.1.1 is rootable, but a bit more complicated than other versions. There are instructions one can follow to 'manually' root (meaning no simple odin flash), but these have not been tested on the Note 10.1 firmware yet and so no guarantees. I am told its just a matter of somebody who knows picking it up and creating a flashable solution, but the device is old and the world has moved on to Android 6.0, so this is not very high priority and we may have to wait a bit more.
The manual instructions, I understand them enough to want to try, BUT am not a developer and am worried about bricking my device! If anybody is brave enough to try,

Hi guys, been following this awesome community for a while now. I got a OnePlus One and I managed to unlock/root it thx to a thread on this forums (even if I'm not that "pro" with phones), but now I have my father's Xperia M (which has never been unlocked/rooted/flashed or anything) that is updated to Android 4.3 and I need help on how to proper install a custom ROM on it (I'm interested in the ArchiDroid one in particular). I don't like Sony's stock ROM, it's acting badly on some things (video recording for example) and in general it just sucks imho, so I want to upgrade to a custom Lollipop one (ArchiDroid). Can someone kindly explain me all the initial steps I have to take to, at least, install a custom recovery on the phone (possibly the TWRP since I used it for the OPO aswell)? Do i need to unlock the bootloader or something? Thx a lot!
Yes, u need to unlock your bootloader.U can do it through fastboot mode.Detailed information is available on Official Sony's Developer world page. Then flash custom recovery like cwm or twrp.Finally download the zip file and start flashing it.
Yep I managed to do all the stuff just yesterday, but thx anyway! Although it was not easy AT ALL, took me all day and was just a nightmare lol. The phone went immediately in bootloop after unlocking the bootloader, so I had to flash an appropriate firmware with flashtool, and I even had a problem at the very end of the process while trying to install the ROM itself (I choosed the official stock CM 12.1 nightly btw), because CWM was giving a stupid error. Thank god a guy here on the forums reported that CWM has problems with some SDs and posted a method to solve them all (by doing a total format of the SD with a program called SDFormatter).

yes, cwm recovery for now is not good for daily use. because they still have old commit. i suggest you to change to TWRP recovery, try look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61626285&postcount=1 we've got official support for this recovery:laugh:
Hello All!
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to install nougat on my phone and having some great difficulty.
So far my phone is flashed and I was running TWRP 3.0.2 however every time i try to flash a lineage 14.1 based rom it would never work. (tried straight lineage 14.1, nutOS, DOT) none of them worked (wiped the phone clean, then received error 7, removed the assert lines that let in install but just perpetually boot looped) . My many a google searches makes me believe that that particular version of TWRP does not work with nougat. but that's the only version I am able to get working. any newer version of TWRP gets stuck in a perpetual boot loop.
So with that said, if my suspicious are correct and i need a newer version is there anything I'm missing to install a newer version of TWRP? if 3.0.2 is a good enough version to install nougat based rom's what am I missing on that end?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! and Thanks in advance!
Ninja edit: I'm runnnig the Z00A (Z551ML) and i've been using using roms/images meant for Z00A
I'm actually not yet used to these kind of stuffs but I guess your problem has something to do with either your twrp version or the bootloader version, this link might help you. http://theflamingskull.com/downloads/z00a/MM_BL_STUFF/

Yup that was it. My google-fu is off as i found my answer from a reddit post (5 seconds after asking this question in reddit...) My issue was that i was still on lolipop, the last OTA update and had no idea asus put out a manual update. worst part is, after unlocking the bootloader installing twrp, THEN installing that oem update, that might have cause my phone to crash mid update so it ended up bricking the phone...
I was able to Frankenstein it back together with old parts that I thought were no good, right now I'm on that last manual update and I gotta fight through a few issues preventing the boot loader from being unlocked.
Anyway you were correct, using the last OTA update updates the bootloader so I was stuck cause of that.
Hi all,
so my current smartphone died for good and instead of getting a new one, I thought I'd revive my old Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. It's been a while since I switched it on so the battery is dead but I'm planning to buy a new battery and replace it. Then I plan to install LineageOS (which is based on Android 10 I believe?)
However I've never done rooting or anything more than basic end user stuff so I've searched the internet and thought I needed to root my phone and then flash the LineageOS. I've read some beginner guides on this forum and other places. However, I've ran into some conflicting/confusing(?) info and need some clarification before starting out. Hope someone can help with my admittedly-very-noobie questions:
1) Can I install LineageOS WITHOUT rooting my phone?
I believe that the bootloader needs to be unlocked first but is rooting necessary? The reason being is that I just want to get rid of the current stock ROM (I think it was Lollipop - can't know for sure because the new battery hasn't arrived yet) and install LineageOS. I don't want a rooted phone because it might conflict with banking apps and such (I know there are workarounds i.e. masking/reflashing/unrooting but as I am not that familiar with the development systems I will just be exposing myself to unknown vulnerabilities) so is it possible to just have the custom ROM and not completely root the phone?
2) Unlocking the bootloader
So I read I have to do a backup first before unlocking the bootloader. Is an SD card necessary or only for rooting? Since unlocking the bootloader will format the SD card anyway? Where should the backup be stored then?
I'd really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!!
Cheers,

LineageOS or most other roms aren't rooted by default. You will have to install solutions like magisk.
If you install twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-t3960699 make sure you are on latest stock firmware as you need the latest bootloader which allows booting into recovery. Flash firmware with Xperia Flashtool which has inbuilt firmware downloader. http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
If you can't boot into TWRP, you can try flashing attached file with xperia flashtool.
Instead of unofficial lineage I recommend AICP forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-aicp-15-0-q10-0-amami-t4005457 . It's got good battery life and nice inbuilt tweaks and customization options..
Hope this helps
Also you need to flash Gapps if you want to use certain apps. Important point for AICP is that you can use microg instead. https://microg.org/

Hi, thanks for replying.
What's the difference between the lineage and AICP?

AICP provides more customizations while lineage is a "cleaner" approach. In the end AICP builds on top of lineage sources and adds several features. It totally depends on your personal taste. I consider it to be a bit overloaded. But that's my opinion. Which may be a bit influenced as I build the lineage version. Hehe
But once you have a recovery set up you can easily flash one, test it, and try the other one afterwards.
Hardware functionality should be same as AICP (SpiritCroc) and lineage (mse and me) share the same device tree sources. If one of us repairs something the other one will also get the fixes.
Both AICP and lineage have OTA update support. If you need microg you can either go with AICP 15 (Android 10) or Lineage 16 (Android 9).
Also you can easily backup your entire system with twrp if something goes wrong when flashing or whatever.
And when "hopping" roms you can make backups with Titatnium (root needed)
Hello, I've tried and "tested" pretty much everything with my Joyeuse, from various custom roms, recovery and root. It even had been totally "destroyed" many people know the event, when nothing seems to work anymore and it with a lot of trouble getting it back. Now I've come to the conclusion that a normal Miui firmware Global or EEA with Magisk ROOT is completely sufficient and the "best", despite everything still n few.I would like My current MIUI 14 Android 12 rooting, with Magisk 26.1 now it's getting "exciting".I'am really Not a Expert
-TWRP 3.7.0 12-0 FBEv2 joyeuse-dereference.zip / img ??
-PBRP miatoll 4.0 202330404 official.zip / img ??
-OrangeFox joyeuse stable R11.1_4_A12.zip / img
??
Now comes the point where I don't quite see through, need some FBE Recovery something with disable/No verity opt encrypt and as that doesn't mean everything, there are 2-3 different ones. I have to despite.....something else the vbmeta.img and all the other things that aren't there???
Could someone PLEASE help me with this.
Does ROOT of "Original" Global Firmware work??
How and in which order ???????if something with disable/no verity opt encrypt (no idea which of the 2-3 there are) when which and when??
If what with vbmeta.img, which one and when?
And which of the 3 recovery, all 3 have FBE, or am I misunderstanding it even more than I think and a recovery without FBE??
Which steps And order to ROOT with Magisk?
Magisk 26.1 good?Or another better??
1. - Recovery Install with PC and fastboot
2. - Boot into recovery.
3. - ????
4. -?????
5. -????
Etc ,etc
Must be Install Disable/No verity opt encrypt or vbmeta.img??Or somthing like this??
What steps and in wich order are the best for save Root MIUI 14 Global or EEA?
Forgive me if I repeat myself!!!!And for my bad bad English
Best regards
