Hello there XDA Developers,
My name is Mihai, i live in Romania and decided to make a guide for those who don't properly know how to flash a costum rom
To flash a costum rom you need first, the stock rom in case of something happening to your phone, your costum rom ( i'll use crdroid for example )
and kernel and BitGapps or your preference
So, a little introduction.
I only tested this on the Galaxy A10 ( SM-A105FN ) but i guess it works on any model of Galaxy A10
Here is our support group for this phone {Mod edit}, my name is NLXZx on this telegram group, i'll wait all of you here
Firstly,
known maitainers for Galaxy A10 are
EurekaTeam, Gabriel260BR and ChaturBaju , much respect for them
Also,
*** AFTER UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID***
*** I'M NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU GET FIRED THAT YOUR ALARM DIDN'T RING ***
For help use the support group.
STEP 1:
We need to get Samsung's Flash Tool named Odin wich we can find on https://samsungodin.com/
After that we need to get the required files to start ( Param.tar, vbmeta_disabled and Recovery & Costum Rom )
Since Samsung Devices does not have fastboot we will gonna use Download Mode.
STEP 2, UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
As i sayed your warranty will be void
Now, to unlock the bootloader we need to go to Settings
Then, About Phone > Software Information and then tap 4 times the Version Number
When you get to the Developer Options go to OEM Unlock, flip the swich to on and then go to USB Debugging and flip the swich to on
After we did that we power off the phone, connect it to pc then hold the volume buttons, actually hold the volume buttons and then insert the cable
Now we long press the volume up till we see Unlock Bootloader
Wait for the phone to boot up then close it again and enter Download Mode
Download vbmeta_disabled from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vx3vSP7QTzSnalQz5Ac5FY2ibQcpdABA/view?usp=sharing
Then download param.tar from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w8i1JOQ3E0xKpNc11oc7Z2L5I5z1J9aq/view?usp=sharing
First, flash vbmeta_disable in USERDATA Slot and reboot, it will boot in recovery and ask you to factory reset the device, do that then after erasing and boot, go into download mode again and flash param.tar
And then go again in the download mode and flash the recovery ( FOR THIS CASE TWRP )
It may/ or may not show this message " This phone is not running official Samsung's Software your features will be limited", ignore it and go flash params if you didn't, you need to flash param.tar into BL
After doing all that complicated stuff flash the recovery
And in the recovery do an advanced wipe and delete anything but not the USB OTG or MicroSD card
And you need a SDCard too, there you put your costum rom, kernel and gapps
STEP 3:
Flash the ROM then the kernel then the gapps
** IN SOME CASES YOU NEED TO FLASH KERNEL / VENDOR MANNUALY OR YOU WILL GET BSOD ( BLACKSCREEN OF DEATH ) **
Done, your device has succesfully installed a costum rom, if you get problems with your phone fell free to ask in the support group
Cheers,
Mihai
Enjoy the power of Sexynos!

Ok man, no problem

Hi all,
I thought it might be useful have a thread dedicated to talking ONLY about official Chinese Stock ROM.
I received my Z6 Pro with a very poor Global ROM, so quickly decided to try the true official ROM, hoping despite its weaknesses it would get far more frequent updates.
Just for reference, here is how I flashed:
Used this guide and source for required files MOD Edit:- Links Removed
Some key steps:
Get phone ready (important) :
Gain access to developer options
Enable USB debugging
Enable unlocking Bootloader
Get computer ready (also important)
Install QDLoader HS-USB Driver 9008
Install latest version of QPST (2.7.474)
Flash
Reboot phone in EDL mode (adb command or press power + both volume buttons)
Connect USB cable
Flash file with recommended settings in QFIL. Make sure “Erase all date before download” is NOT selected.
Ok so that took me to stock rom 11.0.542.
Immediately after I had an OTA to upgrade to 11.1.036; and another one to 11.1.105.
Got rid of Chinese apps and installed play store from the Chinese store.
Now there seem to be one major issue I very quickly noticed with the “4D” gesture. If I use it most of the time I can’t access the home and the home screen is like frozen…
Anyone has same issue ?
Please report other issues / tips for improvements.
Thanks

sigh, yes I am embarrased at what I did but I have bricked my Mi Pad 5 and need a hand. Background:
- new Mi Pad 5 China hardware but with Global ROM flashed by the vendor I bought from
- the Mi Pad started up fine and I logged into my google and Mi accounts with no issues
- noticed the bootloader was unlocked and that google play said device is not certified
- I used fastboot OEM LOCK *very stooooopid* and the device rebooted
- on start up is says "This miui version can't be installed on this device" and now it's bricked
- tried to wipe data but no luck same error
- tried miunlock tool but it tells me I have to bind my id to the device :-(
- tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it is also stuck
- tried Mi pc suite but it will not detect the mi pad
Is there way way to simply recovery back to the latest chinese version of the rom - feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace :-(
Thx in advance for your help, FredT
Download an China fastboot rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu.4328591/
Unpack and use the included installer

thx for the advice, I tried it but anything I do with the included installer tells me it can't work on on a locked device.
still looking for a solution....
You can not unlock again?
oem unlock command
yes unfortunately my stupid error was that I did an OEM LOCK thinking that would be ok and to fix the playstore uncertified issue :-(
when I try to unlock it tells me that I need to bind my ID :-(

Unlock again, install stock china rom, factory reset and lock bootloader
yeah when I try to unlock it now it says that I have to bind my MI id again but I can't boot MIUI to do that - so really stuck as it won't let me unlock
when I try oem unlock I get:
C:\Users\fredp\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24>.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
)
finished. total time: 0.014s

How did you unlock it in the first place? Maybe use the same method? Mine (pro 5g) came with CN ROM with the bootloader locked, so I had to go through the usual procedure of binding my Mi account and waiting for 7 days to unlock the bootloader. I used Mi Unlock as Xiaomi suggests.
Mine came from the seller with the global rom installed even on the CN hardware so they went through that process which in retrospective was not such a great idea, my mistake was that I did not bind my ID to the device before trying to lock it.
I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.
What I can tell you is that if you find the right person to do it for you it's quite easy and fast. I think he does it over TeamViewer.
Anyway, don't give up. It is totally recoverable
Here bro, this group in telegram can help you
A guy there has an authorized account

How was this fixed? I also have the same problem(locking the bootloader after flashing and bricking it).
I tried to reachout to {Mod edit} and already paid for the service fee, and I am feeling that this is a SCAM, i have been waiting for a day and still no progress with this. Im confused if this is really a thing for our bricked units. Hope they were just really busy and not a scam.
{Mod edit: Telegram screenshots removed}
Update on my transaction with {Mod edit}, it is legit! Cant beleive they revived my mi pad 5. This thread is a big help. Thanks!

But how can we suggest a solution to people with bricked device if this is the only option available?

What are the options - can i bypass the lockscreen by flashing a new rom ? or stock rom? I own the device I can prove it- nothing malicious - is there a reputable pay service or what do you guys think? again ADB is not enabled - ODIN recognizes the phone when its connected to a windows laptop. have called samsung they say factory reset - tried to remote unlock with samsung account- that was supposed to be enabled by default... I did not disable it. Can use Ring- ping, via Find my mobile - can change the emergency contact and lock screen message and extend battery life and see location (in my home)
