A word of caution: I am not a ROM developer for this device, I'm just giving a safe method for flashing GSI to this device. If you decide to flash an unsafe/untested GSI (which is anything other than Havoc OS 2.9 GSI) the resulting outcome is your fault, may that be your phone booting up to the welcome screen of your new ROM or a brick. If you have any questions, please PM me.
1. Unlocking the Bootloader
This is pretty easy.
-Install the Mi Unlock app from here on your PC.
-Go to the Settings app on your RN8P.
-Press About Phone and then press the MIUI version number 7 times or until it says "No need, you are already a developer."
-Go back and scroll down until you see Other Settings. Tap Other Settings and from there tap on Developer Options. From there you should turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
-Scroll up and click on Mi Unlock Status. Add your account there and install the ADB and USB drivers for this phone onto the PC that you installed Mi Unlock tool to.
-Connect it to that PC via USB and turn off your phone. Open Mi Unlock. Enter your Mi Account information. Enter fastboot mode by holding Power and Volume Down on your phone until a picture of a rabbit appears.
-Press Unlock on Mi Unlock. Then, the program will either say that your phone is unlocked or that you have to wait 168 or more hours. If it does tell you this, wait until that time is up to press unlock again. Once the program says that your phone is unlocked, you're good to go.
2. Installing TWRP
-There isn't actually any official TWRP Recovery for this device, as you may have noticed. Instead, download the LR TEAM Unofficial TWRP here onto your PC.
-Install Szaki Tools onto your PC here. This is not only a minimal ADB/Fastboot tool but it also contains a graphical interface if you need it.
-Install OpenJDK here if you want to use that graphical interface unless you already have JDK installed.
-If you want to use Szaki Tools Graphical interface, connect your phone to your PC via USB and open the file called XiaomiADBFastbootTools with OpenJDK or something else if you already have something to open JAR files.
-Factory reset your phone by going to My Device in Settings, then going to Backup and Reset and then to Erase All Data. Then, press reset phone at the bottom. Put in your password if you have one and press OK on all of the warnings.
-You will see a loading bar, wait until it is finished and then hold the Power and Volume Down buttons to enter Fastboot before the phone boots up to the welcome screen.
-Open XiaomiADBFastbootTools if you haven't already and click on Select Image. Navigate to the LR TEAM TWRP file you downloaded earlier and flash it to the Recovery Partition using the dropdown next to Flash Image. Flash the image.
-Turn off the phone and then boot into Recovery by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons, releasing the power button when you see the Redmi logo.
3. Installing GSI, Magisk, and GAPPS
-Install your GSI (Havoc OS, Pixel Experience, Lineage OS, install at your own risk, Havoc OS tested and works great), Magisk, and OpenGApps Pico package
-Go back to your phone, which should be in Recovery mode right now if you have followed this guide up to this point. Select Wipe in TWRP and then select Format Data. Type yes and then press the check mark.
-Go back, press Reboot and then Recovery. Hold Power and Volume Up and then release Power once you see the Redmi logo to boot back into Recovery.
-Go to Wipe again, but this time press Advanced Wipe. Select Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. Swipe right.
-Transfer your GSI, Magisk zip, and GAPPS to your phone after you've finished wiping.
-Flash your GSI and Magisk, and then flash GAPPS. If you get an error while trying to flash GAPPS, it's fine. Just continue on to the next step.
-Press Advanced and then Close AVB 2.0 . Make sure you check both before swiping.
-Press Reboot and then System, and then boot into Recovery again using Power and Volume Up.
-Reboot again into system from there just wait. Your phone will probably reboot by itself once before booting into your new GSI ROM.
-If GAPPS did not flash the first time, boot back into Recovery and go to Wipe.
-Press Advanced Wipe and press Repair or Change File System. Then Flash your GSI, Magisk, and GAPPS again.
You should now have a functioning GSI ROM on your phone!
Please let me know which GSIs work, I've tested Havoc, which works really well in general. I've tried flashing Pixel Experience, PHH Treble, and Resurrection Remix and they did not work for me. I have heard that some people have gotten PHH Treble and Reurrection Remix to work though.
Very nice post!!
Would love to see people post results here.
I am currently on xiaomi.eu 11.0.2, so far so good.
If I have some free time, I will try GSI
I will try now

You're welcome!
Tell me what other issues you have if you run into any.
Specifically, what is the camera situation?
If I have already closed AVB2.0 ,twrp and magisk on MIUI 11.3 (android 9). What I should do to try havoc 3.0. If I flash your recovery and in your recovery flash GSI and format data it should works? Sorry for my English.

You already have TWRP, which I'm assuming means your phone has an unlocked bootloader. Just follow the guide from step 2 (Installing TWRP) to the end of the guide even if you have already installed Magisk and flashed TWRP.
I have not tried Havoc 3.0 yet, I have tried Havoc 2.9.
As Havoc 3.0 is an Android Q ROM I'm not completely sure if it will work. If you want a ROM that definitely works, use the link for Havoc 2.9 that I've provided in the guide. You can try Havoc 3.0 if you want, but you could possibly get bootloop and have to reflash MIUI again.
By any chance does havoc gsi have face unlock? Does Bluetooth function properly? Any random screen flashes? To be more exactly what exactly is not working for this os?
Thank you!
I keep going back to recovery after following GSI installation properly, did i miss some step?

Havoc does not come with Face Unlock, but you can always flash the Face Unlock apk as a system app. I've tried installing it as a regular apk without TWRP and it does not work. If you want me to attach a Face Unlock zip to flash using TWRP to the post I can do that. Bluetooth does not work properly right now but I'm looking for a fix. Screen flashes occasionally in anything other than the stock camera app that came with the GSI. IR Blaster only sometimes works. Otherwise, after resizing and disabling HW Overlays everything works.

If you keep going back to recovery, it's a sign of bootloop. If you installed a GSI that bootloops, go to Step 3 of the guide and start from there once you're in recovery. Try a different GSI if it wasn't Havoc; I could never get PHH Treble or Pixel Experience to work.
This is awesome news!! Really thank you so much. Please keep me updated on the status of your progress with what is working and not. But I am stoked we have Roms for this device. I won't flash until Bluetooth is working. But this is likely right around the corner. ****ing awesome tho!!
:good: Yes, this is awesome work! This super phone with a safe ROM will be a dream! Keep up the good work.
(also waiting for the Bluetooth to work before I jump to it)
Hi,
According to treble official page it boots and works on GSI: AOSP 10.0 v208 A/B ARM64 with minor issues i think:

I know that it says that it works, but every time I have tried PHH Treble the phone won't go past the boot animation. It just says "Android" and stays there. I do not really have the time to test a new ROM; I'm trying to get Bluetooth working right now on Havoc OS. You, or anyone willing, can try it out and post here if it works and I can add any extra steps needed to the guide.

I flashed Havoc OS.
From sourceforge, the file is formatted with .xz extension, right? so I extracted it and get the .img file.
Then flash the image to System Image option, am i correct?

Yes! But follow the instructions
Suggestion:
Shall we have separate threads for each GSI attempt? (Havoc, LOS, ...)
That way one can concentrate on the issues on a particular ROM
When I closed avb I didn't select close DMVerify. If I want to flash havoc I must select it too? Can I close it again? Sorry for my English.

I went to the dark side in April 2016, and haven't flashed anything in about 2 years. Wife's tablet (flo) needs an update, MM is getting laggy though the tablet has always been good to us.
Titanium was getting to be crap around the last time I used it, with problems mostly restoring, does that still hold true? Might just use it to back up a couple apps she uses a lot and just use Play Store to restore the rest. It's not really important, just curious.
Downloading the TWRP app, I know TWRP is installed but willing to bet it needs to be updated and the app can do that.
Tablet is near its EOL, not planning on rooting it if the ROM doesn't come pre-rooted. I have no idea what Magisk is.
So I'm gonna go into TWRP, wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Flash ROM (going with Lineage 15.1). Now at one point 2-3 years ago the common wisdom was starting to become "flash ROM, boot ROM, reboot to recovery and then flash Gapps." Y'all still doing that? Or can I just flash Gapps right after flashing ROM and reboot then?
Bit nervous as I haven't flashed in a while, but also kind of exciting.
We've got Android 8.1 Oreo now... Working perfectly on our Nexus 7... You should check it out...
Any suggestions for which are the most stable roms to try? I'm in the same boat. I'm on android 6.0.1, stopped flashing things a while ago and it might even be official! But mine's running like a dog so think I wanna try something to jazz it up!
You should try pure Nexus rom based on 7.1.2 for ultimate good battery life. Oreo is Good but battery isn't the greatest.
Well i have been rooting for a bit.
My N7 2013 Flo is not rooted. It is unlocked.
I thought i have via adb fastboot put latest twrp on it...but i turn it off (go into bootloader) toggle into recovery...tarp is not there (triangle with red 'i').....
I dont want to go ballistic but I never would have thought I am having such a hard time putting recovery image onto it.
It is stock 6.1
CF root doesn't exist anymore...some say use majisk....that's not working....
Without a recovery tool....(twrp) nothing can be flashed..
AM I MISSING SOMETHING

Firstly, your stock 6.1 is ancient and obsolete. Here are detailed instructions to install a modern Android, TWRP and root....

ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/flo
native root solution, no need for CF, Magisk, etc. - https://download.lineageos.org/extras (install addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip and activate it in the developer options)

I did the 'install lineageOS on flo and installed TWRP latest. Seem like fastboot went into a slew of commands
and finished. I followed the steps to reboot into recovery and twrp is not there. Android dude opened with red triangle.
I have no clue whats up. I leave it sit, and it reboots into android splash screen and bootsup so i can use the tablet. I guess this is why I am soo perplexed. "Am i missing something?"

I think you have missed this step.... "Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install." - https://twrp.me/asus/asusnexus72013wifi.html

Thank you for 'helping me'......I have googled this combo everywhere and tried it all. Nothing is allowing the tablet to populate into twrp.....
Perhaps its really not fastbooting twrp into the device

Wait, is Kevin_McLaughlin=ganggreen777 ?
Anyway, here is an alternative way:
- fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-flo.img (please copy the output and post it here)
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- select recovery in the bootloader
That's it, but you must do it in this order or else TWRP will be gone again.

Why u asking???? Have we chatted b4?¿?
I will do as stated above (I swear I am (thinking) I am doing it as above all the other times. (when you say copy output...is that from the fastboot dialogue? ) ...is it as easy as copy paste ...I dont remember how to copy via adb fastboot...
(Makes me wonder if twrp is really being fastbooted into the n7 2013

You need to do the following in TWRP:
(Optional, but recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.
Select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe.
Select Cache, System and Data partitions to be wiped and then Swipe to Wipe.
Go back to return to main menu, then select Install.
Navigate to /sdcard , and select the LineageOS .zip package.
next install the addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip (root addon)
and finally GApps (Google Apps) from https://opengapps.org/ - select ARM 7.1 pico
"Note: If you want any Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before the first boot into Android!"

Hi guys this is my first thread
lets cut to the chase ,I flashed pixel experience gsi and it works flawless
How to install:
1.unlock your bootloader
2.if you have custom rom and twrp recovery go to stock rom with stock recovery!!!!
3.download the gsi https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-%28GSI%29-list
4.reboot to bootloader using the power button and volume down button , open command prompt and type this 2 code VERY IMPORTANT
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img
5.after flashing reboot device ….device will get bootloop this is fine! after the 3rd boot device will boot to stock recovery and will say to reset the phone
so reset the phone
If the phone resets then that's it congratulations your phone now has pixel experience reboot device
If the phone does not reset then its ok! shutdown the device and go to fastboot and flash twrp and go to stock rom once again using Huru Updater and go to developer options and enable OEM Unlock then reboot and flash gsi
https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/stock-rom-indian-firmware-c675-t3813875
After flashing stock rom again boot the device and after reaching the home screen shut down the device and again try Step 4 and Step 5
6.After flashing the gsi it is recommended to do factory reset to avoid settings stopped errors....
7.It is also possible to flash other andoid pie gsi I have not tried if you try let me know!
Since I was experimenting I couldn't record my progress if you can record it would be great!

*Any fix for hotspot as of now and can we expect it in the near future?
*Does the camera work?
*How's the ram management?
*Battery life
*Does the phone lag, like, is there any lag in the UI?
*Have you tried gaming on this?
*Do you recommend this as a daily driver?
Know that's a lot of questions but would be grateful if you could help.?

*Any fix for hotspot as of now and can we expect it in the near future?
*Does the camera work?
*How's the ram management?
*Battery life
*Does the phone lag, like, is there any lag in the UI?
*Have you tried gaming on this?
*Do you recommend this as a daily driver?
Know that's a lot of questions but would be grateful if you could help.?

Hospot does not work
Camera Quality is poor
Flash light does not work
Battery is not so great but mangeable
Phone runs buttery smooth... No lag whatsoever
Gaming experience is great but battery falls rapidly
Overall it can be used as DD but you have to sacrifice camera quality and battery life

Hi guys this is my first thread
lets cut to the chase ,I flashed pixel experience gsi and it works flawless
How to install:
1.unlock your bootloader
2.if you have custom rom and twrp recovery go to stock rom with stock recovery!!!!
3.download the gsi https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
4.reboot to bootloader using the power button and volume down button , open command prompt and type this 2 code VERY IMPORTANT
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img
5.after flashing reboot device ….device will get bootloop this is fine! after the 3rd boot device will boot to stock recovery and will say to reset the phone
so reset the phone
If the phone resets then that's it congratulations your phone now has pixel experience reboot device
If the phone does not reset then its ok! shutdown the device and go to fastboot and flash twrp and go to stock rom once again using Huru Updater and go to developer options and enable OEM Unlock then reboot and flash gsi
https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/stock-rom-indian-firmware-c675-t3813875
After flashing stock rom again boot the device and after reaching the home screen shut down the device and again try Step 4 and Step 5
6.After flashing the gsi it is recommended to do factory reset to avoid settings stopped errors....
7.It is also possible to flash other andoid pie gsi I have not tried if you try let me know!
Since I was experimenting I couldn't record my progress if you can record it would be great!
Whats Working?
Except Hotspot Almost everything works

Finally got it working. Well I flashed the 32 bit one before so that wouldn't boot. Yesterday I flashed the 64but one and it works. Thanks for sharing. The UI is a bit laggy but that's okay.
Well for the camera you can use gcam it's not perfect but does pretty good.
And I'm surprised that the hotspot works fine ?
Can you please tell the full steps for installation( from unlocking a boatloader).... I am using Honor 9 lite ...please tell me about room can I use as a daily driver everything works fine or not how we get updates after installing a rom
hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that
logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.
so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D
cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Which custom rom you want to use?

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..

Don't give up there might be a solution.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

It's been three years since i changed phones and I naively thought that things had gotten easier.
But nope. Still a mess of stiching together various incomplete "guides" from around the web only
to end up with a phone stuck in a boot-loop.
It's a Galaxy S9. Using Odin I've been able to install TWRP 3.3.1-0.
With that I tried installing both Carbon ROM as well as Havoc OS each followed by Open Gapps 8.
In some of the "guides" there was mentions of no-verity, so I've tried adding that in various steps.
Still, the only thing that works reliably is power+bixby+up to enter twrp. It's the only way I've found
to power down the phone.
Very grateful for any suggestion.
I've thought about installing the ROM using Odin, but I'm afraid that I would lose twrp.
From TWRP boot into download mode and use Odin to flash stock.
Or download soldier ROM and flash that in TWRP. It's based on stock ROM.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - I appreciate it!
Just to be suuuper clear: Should I flash the ROM the same way as I did twrp? Option AP and F. Reset time?
And why stock ROM? That's where I came from. Ultimately I want a custom ROM (preferably Carbon or Havoc).
Is this a step towards that?

Flashing stock will return your phone to the way it was when you bought it, having to flash TWRP etc all over again
When flashing stock you flash all 4 sections together and do not change any settings in Odin
CSC = Reset phone
HOME CSC = Do not reset
Only use one or the other
You will need to use CSC if you have TWRP / Custom installed
If you are wanting a custom ROM flashed from TWRP you should wait for someone else who knows why it won't flash to help you as I have just kept stock on my S9 so don't know what's wrong
You do know you flash the custom ROM zip using TWRP right? Copying it to your SD card then choosing it from TWRP itself, not using Odin

That's exactly what I did. I used Odin to install twrp and then tried to install the custom ROM with twrp. That's when the wheels came off and the phone got stuck booting.
So what do I do to install a custom ROM on my S9?
I'm positive I've followed every step of the guides, but there's always the feeling that they are written for AnyAndroidPhone (TM) and that there's some device-specific quirk that's left out.

Then you should follow the guides on this XDA S9 forum instead, then you know they are for the S9

you still bricked?
In TWRP did the internal storage maybe say 0mb? Tat happens when you dont abort the factory reset after OEM unlock. If it is that than just go to advanced wipe, pormat your data to fat2 and then back to fat4
Hey there, I had the exact same problem over the past 2 days - so I feel your frustration.
I have a 9604f (galaxy s9) , and there are different types so you may have to see if yours is different. I also used ressurrection remix OS. Short version is:
1. Get resurrection remix (final version for starlte)
2. Get gapps (for 8.1 arm64)
3. Get magisk
The above 3 are all on the post for the official resurrection remix on this site with the header -[ROM] [OFFICIAL] [6/01/18] ResurrectionRemix 6.0 for S9/S9+ (Exynos)
4. Download the BRE5 vendor. I used a link that went to a mega.nz site and it worked. So I'm sure you'll be able to find one. I can't post links cause this is my first post.
5. Boot into twrp
6. Format data in wipe section of twrp
7. Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system.
8. Install in this order -do not reboot or wipe anything. Just install.
(I) BRE5 vendor
(II) resurrection remix ROM
(III) gapps
9. DONT WIPE cache, and reboot into the OS
10. If you want root -just go back into twrp once you have set up google, apps etc. And then install the magisk zip.
update
Not bricked any more.
The advice from @basicreece to install soldier worked. I made a second attempt to install Carbon afterwards but that resulted again in a twrp-only device. Now I'm back on soldier.
Perhaps I'll give @Madsikhey's instructions a go later.
To show my gratitude for all the help in times of darkness I'd like to give back and I'll let @basicreece decide:
1. Donation to XDA
2. Donation to EFF
3. A beer/coffee for yourself (PayPal)
Answer me in a PM.

I have somewhat same problem. Rooted my S9 original OS and it worked fine. After power off the phone is in bootloop and the only way to shut the phone off is to boot in the twrp and reboot-->shut off.
And the only way to get to the twrp is power+volume up+bixby button combination.
I made a thread about my problem, it's here
Problems with rooting Galaxy S9 (Android 10 Exynos SM-G960F)
Hi, this is My first post here, so be gentle. My old Oneplus died and I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S9. I tested the phone with an original OS and it worked fine. Yesterday I decided to root it (there are a few features that need root and I...
forum.xda-developers.com
Now I'm stuck and I need a help to proceed. What i should do to get the phone open again? Would it be a good idea to flash lineageOS now, or is there a way to reset the phone back to original?
I can open trwp or download mode, but cannot boot to the OS.
Hey Guys,
I present you the Custom Rom for T830 :good: Clean, Fast, Smooth and will be updated in regular basis.
And as we say always "VOTE" and if you Vote Not working please take the time to explain. Thank you
Now V2.3
Credits:
Thank you to @sevsman that create this beautiful ROM, Incredible job making it so fast. I am only the tester and I am glad to be able to share with you all.
Thank you to @Mentalmuso for his great kernel Weta latest TF5
Thank you to @topjohnwu for Magisk
Thank you to the creator of the Encryption Disabler @ianmacd
As usual I am not responsible for any damage cause to your tablet flashing this ROM:angel:
Some advice for newbies:
DRIVERS
There is no way to use PC with USB cable and flash with ODIN if you have not intaled the Samsung Drivers, search for these with your PC browser
OEM UNLOCKING
Go to settings/ About tablet/ Software information/ press build number 7 times to activate DEV mod
Go bac to setting down Developer Options that now apear
Tick Unlock OEM Your tablet will reboot and wipe everything so backup
Redo all setup Finish it even update if needed
FORCE REBOOT
Press and hold 3 keys Power/ Vol+/ Vol-
RECOVERY MODE
Power off tablet
Press and hold Power/ Vol+
DOWNLOAD MODE
For me the only thing that works is is at the same time force reboot when tablet off and connect usb cable to computer.
FLASHING ANYTHING WITH ODIN
ROM:
Place AP in AP
CSC_CSC_xxxxx in CSC
Place BL in BL
TWRP
Untick reboot in second tab
Place TWRP in AP
CHECK IF YOU NEED TO FORMAT DATA IN RECOVERY MODE
Boot in recovery mode
Select install
Select Storage on the bottom
If internal is 0mb you need to format data before doing anything that will allow you to wipe or zip anything but will cleann all you have on the tablet so Backup before
ROM FEATURES
Stock TF5
Rooted with Magisk latest and Weta Kernel latest
Heavy Debloat, most of the stuff you can install with Playstore is gone + some unneeded Samsung and Google stuff. No Knox, No Bixby, no Kids stuff, No digital wellbeing, No Microsoft stuff. It could definitely be cleaner; well that's for next version with maybe some more tweaking on Google and Samsung to reinforce privacy and improve battery life. Give us your ideas.
For now you still get Samsung Account, Samsung Store, Samsung DEX, Samsung Notes, Google Account, Google Playstore and Google
If you want to debloat more install Debloater module in Magisk and run it from Termius (Playstore) Example I got rid of Samsung Video Player, My Files, and hide Phone and Message as I don't use these and my App screen has no more than 11 apps before installing what I need.
Also for some interesting tweaking follow this thread and get rid of all: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/how-to/tweak-tab-s4-debloat-root-plugins-t4088699 still work pretty good except XPosed (Too bad!), Proca and few others but to disable big brothers It works fine. This is a great thread by @doggydog2
How To Flash this Rom:
OEM SHOULD BE UNLOCKED. THERE IS NO WAY TO TO THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT THIS STEP.
You need TWRP Installed. You can use flashify if you are already rooted to flash the new TWRP. If you don't know how refer to this thread from Mentalmuso: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278
Reboot in Recovery
Factory reset, Wipe all but SD, Format Data (Very Important) (YOU WILL BE LOSING ALL YOUR DATAS SO BACKUP WHAT YOU NEED)
Flash the Zip file
Flash Encryption Disabler for now https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278 Thread from Metalmuso, look in Android 10 forlder
Reboot
Finish setup
Update Google Apps
Update Samsung Apps
Launch Magisk and press OK , device will reboot
Enjoy!
If you need to pass ctsProfile to true, flash "[MODULE] MagiskHide Props Config - SafetyNet, prop edits" from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228/post83146179 Downlaod magisk module,open termiux SU, Launch props select "2 Basic Autentification"
That doesnt fix Netflix in L1 even hidding Magisk. We wiill not implement that in the next update.
If you have issues with Bluetooth pairing not sticking after reboot go to Magisk, download module Bluetooth Library patcher 1.9 and install itin magisk, that will solve the issue.
Changes v2.3:
Fix /data not mounted
Fix Bluetooth not keeping devices BT after reboot

We need comments on T835 install please
For T835, I have 2 report that Iris detection is not working, that's need confirmation. It works perfectly for T830
Now with this ROM you don't need Odin after installing TWRP

Thanks looks interesting. Will this be available for the SM-T835? if so i will definitely like to try it out
A huge thanks to @ianmacd for the disabler because without it we'd all be in the can :good:
Here's v1 for the T835 and @enotar will update the first post later today.

Sweet! Nice to see our Tabs have not been forgotten about. Look forward to giving this a try!
Google Drive folder T830 and link to T830 rom shared to all.
@enotar This is extremely exciting as I didn't think there'd be support like this for the Tab S4! I just have a question before I attempt this: Do I need to already be on Android 10 before flashing this rom or am I able to flash it from Android 9? I'm asking because I have the WETA Kernal + TWRP + Magisk installed, but on Android 9 (T830). Because of this, I'm not able to use system update to update to Android 10. If not, is there another way to flash this rom?

Can you explain more detailed as I have no issue here with Iris
And yes Android 10 is not needed just TWRP and BTW you need to come with something, 8, 9 or 10 to install TWRP
I will repeat myself do not wipe SD dont cross the box, you'll be very sad.

May I ask what BTW is?
This is how it looks for me(see attached file)
Moreover, i can't use intelligent scan, cause it says "can't open camera"
I thought this is because backup i used(who knows), but with second clean install everything is still the same

Installation went so smoothly. Thank you for this excellent rendition of a debloated Stock ROM. I had a debloated version on my old Tab S2 tablet. So far so good. :good::good::good::good::good:

BTW means "by the way", it's not a file, lol. (Also I didn't see that someone mentioned this before me, sorry)
I keep getting "Failed to mount '/data' when I go to install... hmm... does anyone have any idea?
Currently running TWRP 3.4.0.4 and Android 9.0.1
Do I need to use a lower version of twrp?
I reboot, and I just get the bootloop now.

You need to use TWRP 3.4.0-6 not -4 and this thread Post 2 step by step: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278

Hmm ok, I upgraded to 3.4.0-6 and still the same error and bootloop. I flashed the image and not through ODIN to install it to recovery.
I will go through and install the WETA kernel and encryption disabler.

Followed exactly, but every operation I try to do be it wipe or install, I get "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
I'm assuming there is a corruption in my /data and I need to reformat. I'll report back after.

Well formating data is one of the steps of the thread to install TWRP

Full wipes, thru menu and twrp
Totally clean install, even no accounts added
And still same issue...btw, 1st boot takes 17 minutes! It's it normal?
