Cant flash TWRP

Hey guys I'm kinda new to Android I've had a chappy phone and now an LG g pad after attempting root about a dozen times I finally managed to get it root now I am trying to get TWRP to backup the tablet and change the boot animation later but every time I tried on my pc it would fail so I installed flashify and tried with that I then I got a boot error saying security issues. The tablet stills boots but I believe the problem is the locked boot loader. Thanks for any help offered.

Have you installed root checker or another program to confirm that you do, in fact, have root? Start with that.
If you haven't installed a superuser app to handle permissions, I'd do that as well before trying to install TWRP.
I'll admit I had troubles installing TWRP as well, when looking at the forums, make sure you're downloading the version for your EXACT version of android and firmware, and following the instructions for the right version as well. Good luck!

If you do know what you're doing though then, well, my post is null and void isn't it? :highfive:

There was no offense taken. I was just stating for the fact. I'm sorry for sounding rude. *bows*
Okay, so, went to install the latest PA. and got "unable to mount /system" Like I said. I am S-off and unlocked, ran the SU zip through recovery and all that. still no dice.

Yes I have. I'm gonna flash the newest version of TWRP and hope that it fixes it. I had a similiar problem on my TF300 and that fixed it

updating my recovery worked. at least in the sense that I can mount system now. Gapps installed and it's letting me do a nandroid so. that's a step in the right direction
For Future reference, don't use All in one tools(this is a personal note)
Edit: ET Voila. I feel like an idiot. I had this issue with my tablet and should have thought of it first.
Thanks guys

You shouldn't have installed an outdated recovery version to begin with. That is just asking for trouble.
Stay away from Toolkits, they cause more problems than they solve. Anything a toolkit can do, you should be able to easily do manually.

[ROM][KIW-L21] r3 - De-odexed, rooted and Xposed B130

Hi all!
By popular demand and so we can start delving a little deeper into customising our devices, I've prepared a de-odexed, rooted and Xposed ROM for our Honor 5Xs, based on the B130 build.
What does this mean?
De-odexed means that the apps no longer have a dependency on the framework files, so you can tweak them to your hearts content. This is a requirement for Xposed on the device too.
Rooted means root access is pre-installed, generally speaking required for Xposed.
Xposed means the Xposed framework is pre-installed. You simply need to download and install the Xposed APK from this thread.
For maximum Xposed compatibility, theming is disabled using the 'ro.config.hwtheme=0' setting in the /system/emui/base/prop/local.prop file. Change this back to '1' at your own risk, it may break Xposed horribly.
Before installing, make sure you take a full back up. Be aware that as the dex cache needs to be rebuilt for every app, the first boot after installation will take a long time. Really, a very long time. You SHOULD be able to dirty flash over stock.
Feel free to do with this ROM as you please, use as a base for your own custom ROM etc., but please give credit and don't just mirror the files directly.
This ROM is based on the B130 Custom ROM template.
DOWNLOAD - customromtemplate-5x-kiwl21-b130-r3-root-deodex-xposed.zip [romraid] - MD5: a2372d7e4bb9cbec9ba428c96e02b1b2
Enjoy!

Many thanks for this, running perfectly on my L-21 and as a noob quite pleased to get this working without bricking my phone.
Now just got to work out how to access the xposed options.
Google don't fail me now!

Yup spent this evening playing. Managed to brick and recover phone once tonight trying to get some modules to work. Didn't happen as expected and went into a boot loop thing when I tried to restart. Glad I was careful enough to do a backup now.
Might leave exposed till I know a bit more about what is going on with it.

Haha yeah I'm pretty new to it as well but I been playing with it on cm13 rom

This ROM works well, thank you !

If I restore the phone, update to B140 and then reflash this will it work?
I guess what I am asking is can I have this ROM which I am happy with, and still have the latest update?

you can, but you won't gain anything. the update would be over written by the rom
the rom has to be rebuilt with the b140 base for it to work

@paulobrien :
Do you plan to upgrade this Rom to b140 ?
Or should i use KIW-L21 C432B130 (UK) full revert package then make the update to b140, flash TWRP, SuperSU and Xposed ?

Yes, I will be updating this to B140.

You are the best.

Awesome! Thanks! Couple quick questions....
First, I see the file is clearly for the flat being G930V, but the androidfilehost says S7 Edge. Just want to make sure I'm downloading the correct file for the flat.
Second, this will do a complete wipe via odin, so everyone should backup all their wanted files before flashing, correct? Or is this the ota itself, that will not wipe everything?

He literally just dropped this on us 16 hours ago. He also just gave us something we can't get anywhere else right now. I think it's a bit premature and greedy to be asking about root already. You could flash the stock file in Odin then try this Nougat root method and let everyone know whether it worked:

My bad I don't check the dates posted. I was thinking he just pulled it from a Verizon update. I tried the nougat root method with the att oreo firmware. It wouldn't root

Can't install any custom rom on A505W Canadian Variant. Unable to mount /vendor error.

Hello everyone. I currently have a A505W Canadian variant, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I made the big mistake of updating to the last version of android 11 and, while I prefer android 10 for what I need the phone to do, I can't downgrade anymore. I'm trying to install, at that point, any custom rom there is. But I can't. I don't know if it's related, but every time I try to install a rom, with TWRP, I always get the error "Unable to mount '/vendor'" and the installation fail. Some rom get concidered successfully installed, by their custom installations process, but end in a boot loop. All I can do is install the stock firmware with odin. I've been on this for 3 days now, can anybody help me? That would be much appreciated. Have a nice day!

So far, only international variants(F and FN) are being built so we don't know if any rom will work on W variants. Maybe try GSI, they are almost the same but they mostly differ in vendor

yes, you should definitely check GSI and sGSI out. Some of the a50 users manage to boot android 13 dp1 on A50. for GSIs https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/

I'm on it. I think I found one GSI rom that is working pretty well for now. I need this phone to do a very specific job. I prefers magisk 23 for this since I need magisk hide. So I tend to go with older version of android (10 or 11). Also, the lastest stock firmware was not really up to the task either (got many bugs) and I made the mistake to update my android 10 stock, which was working perfectly, to the last official version of 11, so no downgrade possible for me. I just need to find the right rom for my needs now.

Search XDA for the latest Frija Windows application version. Beyond that, sammobile.com is where I've pulled my provider's stock images for an upcoming downgrade attempt. You should be able find your provider's CSC easily enough elsewhere; you'll need it to pull the proper ROM.

@AliasGprime how did you unlock the bootloader on your A505W? I'm researching this and see only paid options to unlock BL and no one can reach the member who used to unlock.
EDIT: after several attempts, I did finally get the bootloader unlock menu.

Hi,
Just wanted to put this info out there for unlocking bootloader. ( This would wipe your data )
Model A505W
Steps:
Enable OEM Unlock
Power Off
Hold vol-up and vol-down and power button ( As per other tutorials and videos you have to attach charging cable but that did not work for me )
Follow instructions on screen
reboot ( It takes long to reboot as all data is going to be wiped )
