I have a LM-G710ULM on android 8.0.0
Sec patch sept 1, 2018
Kernel 4.9.65
Its never been bootloader unlocked or anything and internal mem is almost full so was going to wipe it and factory restore but figured now would be a good time to look into unlocking bootloader and flash a custom rom.
Im just looking for good performance and reliability, I have not flashed a custom rom in years and not at all with this phone so is there any up to date guides for people with no clues?
Any rom suggesstions?
Thanks!
You may try to upgrade to latest android 10 official firmware first. You will not flash anything custom but at least you will get an update from android 8 and start to familiarize with flashing.
And even if you want a custom ROM, the most recent ones are based on latest android 10 official firmware, so you have to install that first anyway

The title almost says it all.
I am on a custom 4.4.2 ROM (using ND1 firmware) and want to look into upgrading to 5.1.1 or higher. Obviously rooted with TWRP recovery.
I know I'll need to upgrade my TWRP from 2.6.0.3 or whatever it is on right now to 3 or better - but I need to know if I will have to flash official stock 5.1 to upgrade to the newest firmware, if there is a newest firmware, to get the install clean with minimal errors or can I just flash a custom TW ROM and hope that upgrades the firmware, if there is new firmware, or is there a thread I can be directed to so I can read up on what I need to do to upgrade?
Or since I am already rooted with TWRP, can I just upgrade or flash my twrp to a known good version and flash a rom then be on my way?
Thanks in advance!
Dear Friend , It's all clear that if if you want to install any TW Lollipop ROMs, you need to first install a Lollipop firmware ( Using Odin ) to install a Lollipop bootloader ( do not even think of ticking the update bootloader in Odin because then you wouldn't be able to revert into KK firmware and then you can't run any KK ROM on Lollipop bootloader ) and then install a TWRP ( I recommend ShevT's one which is less glitchie and faster than the official ones because of the F2FS support !! ) and then you're free to go the way you like

Hello, I'm new to the world of android, and got interested to the world of custom roms. Recently I saw the Nougat rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/orig-development/rom-aosp-nougat-7-0-t3448481) which is I'm interested to flash it on my phone but ironically im afraid to do it because of doubts that it will brick my phone. I'm afraid because i don't know how to unbrick it. My question is, what are the prerequisites in order to flash the nougat rom i want?
At first you have to unlock your device bootloader. Guide. After unlcoking bootloader you will face bootloop. That is normal,Flash stock rom(Single Dualvia Flash fool to fix it(First boot will take more than 10 min). Then flash CWM or Philz recovery. Now download any rom for your device flash it via recovery. I suggest you to try MM roms. Naugat roms are in beta stage wait for stable versions.

Your post has many repeats - please clean it up.
Yes, when you RSD or flash a stock rom, you also change the recovery back to stock(unless you selectively do not). If you want TWRP, just flash it again.

Despite all the unnecessary repetations... You did go back to 7.0, not 7.1? Well, unless you flashed a version older than the stock version you where on when switching to custom ROM, just look if there is already a OTA. In fact there should be many. OTAs with unlocked bootloader aren't a problem as long as you don't change recovery, the only problem is flashing an older stock ROM than you had. Then you'll get an OTA too but that would brick your device
Hello,
I haven't flashed my phone for about 2 years.
I am running Firehound 8.1.0 64bit with TWRP 3.1.2-0 (I think)
Do I need to flash anything other than the latest TWRP to enable me to flash android 9.0 & 10.0 ROMs? As when I upgraded to 8.0 I seem to remember their being a bit of work involved.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
All you need is a 64bit unofficial twrp
Format data to remove encryption with twrp & wipe system & cache
As long as your stock base firmware is oero nothing else is required (if you are still on nougat firmware your fingerprint reader will not work unless you flash oero stock firmware or fingerprint fix)
The process is exactly the same for any custom rom

Is there a way to tell whether I am running Nougat or Orio based firmware? The build I am on is from March 2018. I think I remember reading about this back then but I'm unsure as to whether I flashed stock Orio or not.
I will have a look through my ROMs thread to see if stock Orio was a pre requisite.
So if I am on stock Orio, all I should need to do is update TWRP and I'll be good to go?
Edit,
I just looked through the ROM thread and the dev said a camera issue would not be fixed until stock Orio released. I have a new laptop now so looks like ill have to get ADB and fastboot back up and running then fastboot stock Orio before flashing a new ROM.
Thanks for you help

After flashing Oreo I recommended JarlPenguin's TWRP
i want update my android 9 to 10(custum stock rom) in a galaxy s9 by twrp
model galaxy s9 (sm-g9600)
it's possible? or do i have to do it for the ODIN and then install the TWRP again?
thank u
It depends on the custom rom that you're gonna using, some of them will work just fine.
but on the other side the rom requires stock bootloader and so on,
the safest way is to flash to the stock latest android 10 rom through odin,
but if you don't want do that just make sure that the custom stock rom includes the latest stock bootloader where you can just ask on the rom's discussion
also don't forget to update your twrp version to the latest first, or there might be a possibilities that you will end up with error
