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

When I try to install a rom it wont install system files it skips over them only to extract some apps which means no bootup.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to install stock and then wipe and then install a rom and i still get same result however sometimes when i flash stock with odin i get fail at the very end whether it be for HLOS file or modem...
I think i can fix this if i wipe my partitions and get them partitioned again.. or maybe one of Odin's tick marks could help??
:crying:
please help
I'll probably sell this phone
More information is needed. What version of stock are you running? Are you rooting your phone? Are you installing a custom recovery? Which custom recovery are you using? Name at least one rom other then stock you've tried to install and how you tried to install it. I would guess no one has responded because they don't have the information needed to give you the help you are asking for.

Im having the same problem too I cant seem to install no rom other then the backup of my Stouck MDL...I tired installing wicked rom and of course it got stuck at the Samsung screen and i did everything when it came to wiping it ....sooo the i tried insane KItKat and that to as well got stuck on boot and im on the latest TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery running MDL stock
I've tried to install with CWM Recovery by OUDSH and TWRP and no luck I've tried installing WickedRom Hyperdrive and GE by Kot49H I can only install stock with Odin and the reason its not installing is because its avoiding the extraction of system files to the phone.
im sorry if this has been asked before. i was very hesitant to post but ive been trying to resolve this issue for 2 days and browsing and reading as much as i can with minimal results. i am trying to update to 4.4 from 4.2.2. i initially had a hard brick but was able to restore life with the img file but am stuck there. it boots into paranoidkangdroid sometimes (which is the rom i used before it hard bricked but not the one on the img file i created...weird i think). i think the more reading i do the more confused i get. im not sure if i have to flash to stock to get the ota, or whether i can just flash a 4.4 rom. im not sure what other information i should provide. thanks for any help and again, sorry if this is inappropriate.
Does your phone boot into download mode? If it does, flash a custom recovery and custom ROM to at least get your phone into a working state.

i was finally able to get some where!
i used this method to restore my phone to 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
what steps do i have to take now to update to 4.4 and flash a custom rom?
do i first need to flash a 4.4 bootloader?
Personally, I prefer cwm over twrp.
Just copy a custom ROM to your external SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, install ROM, reboot.
Depending on the ROM you install, you may have to update your bootloader and modem.
Hi all,
I am new here and I am having trouble with my Galaxy 3 SGH-I747 from at&t
I rooted the phone using KingoRoot and everything was fine.
I used the phone for about a week and decided to update from kitkat 4.4.2 to lolipop 5.0.
I have a micromax phone that is rooted and I didnt have any trouble updating it while it was rooted, so i figured it wouldnt be a problem but when I updated the s3 it said update failed at 94% and started rebooting and got stuck in an update loop.
I searched and searched and tried finding recovery options using odin but I cant find a 4.4.2 stock firmware, and cant find much information on recovering my device.
I am unable to boot in to recovery. I cant find a link for the SGH-I747 to philz recovery, the links all seem to be dead.
I can boot in to download mode.
I want to install a custom recovery via ODIN but i cant find one for my phone.
After I install the custom recovery, how will i know which stock OS my phone is currently at
I appreciate any advice you can give me, thanks.
Use TWRP for custom recovery. CWM and Philz haven't been updated in quite a while. You can get odin flashable tars from here.
Flashing TWRP should get you to working recovery, and you can find the rom zips you need to get back up and running in the development section here.
Unrooted stock will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery upon boot. Depending on how far your phone is getting into the booting process that might happen if you let odin auto-reboot. Your best bet is to uncheck auto-reboot in odin, so it won't restart on you automatically. Upon success remove the USB cable and pull battery. Replace battery and boot straight to recovery by holding home+vol up+power until you see tiny blue text in the upper left corner then releasing.
Thankyou! i was able to install the recovery by TWRP.
I just need to figure out what firmware to install and where I can get it... I was on kitkat, I tried to update to lollipop but it didnt work. My phone is bricked so I dont know how i would see the firmware version on it.
I really just want any kind of stable firmware that is rooted. Any ideas where I could find one? I'm trying to sift through the forums
Lots of ROMs are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development

I appreciate all the help - It seemed really hard because I was finding roms and flashing with ODIN but it always failed TWRP is giving me results. I flashed slimkat and got my phone working again! the only problem is my sound is a bit junky, idk why.
I plan on trying out Octos - M, because I heard marshmallow OS has a lot better battery life among other things
If i upgrade to a custom marshmallow OS, is there any coming back to a former custom OS like 4.4.2? or is it a permanent upgrade?
Do you guys recommend any custom OS? I need something stable, that uses the resources efficiently.
Before flashing additional ROMs, make sure the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
To verify the installed bootloader and modem, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play store.
With a custom ROM, you can flash from one to another, usually without any issues as long as you perform a complete wipe (system, data, cache) before flashing a new ROM. If you are upgrading an existing custom ROM with a newer custom ROM (e.g. CM12.1 2016-01-01 nightly to CM12.1 2016-01-02 nightly), you can just flash the updated ROM over the existing ROM.
Hello -
My Pixel 2 XL is still running stock but is rooted with Magisk. I have been looking at some custom ROMs. Stock is working fine for me, but the dorm in me REALLY wants to waste time flashing ROMs...
I was looking at the thread for AquariOS and a few others, and they each mention flashing TWRP after installing the ROM.
At present, I have the .img file for TWRP and I boot to it from my computer using fastboot. Is there a reason why ROMs installation instructions have the line to install TWRP? Is there any reason not to just fastboot to it as needed? My concern is how difficult is it to return to the factory recovery mode, and is there any downside to having TWRP on this model instead of the factory. Is it possible to return to the stock ROM and recovery after installing a custom ROM?
Thanks

If you only want to use TWRP when you have a fastboot-ready PC available, there is no need to install it. The reason why that is there is because since TWRP is embedded in the kernel (not flashed to a recovery partition like older devices), it will be overwritten whenever you flash a custom rom that includes a kernel, and I'm fairly certain they all do.
Returning the stock recovery menu is as easy as flashing the stock boot.img. There are no downsides that I know of of having TWRP on your device. And yes, returning to the stock rom and recovery is as easy as fastboot flashing the factory image.

I dont install it anymore.
I run rooted stock and have no need really for a nand backup.
When I need it I just fastboot it and honestly I cant recall the last time I needed to do that.
On other deivces I have it installed for ease of updates for LineageOS.
My Pixel XL 2 swings both ways! I use TWRP on board and Fastboot!
I run stock rooted with flash kernel. I use my Nexus 6p terminal to fastboot boot TWRP on my Pixel when flash kernel pushes an update. I don't really see any reason to run a custom rom on this device as it runs great as is and there is an app for pretty much any custom rom feature you'd want.
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!
