Hey guys I'm having some problems installing a ROM properly every time something is messsing up, so if can anyone give me a guide on how to install a ROM that will be great.
Iv'e tried google it but the guides are messed up
Nothing wrong with any guides online, but let's begin
Pre-steps:
1) Make sure you have a custom recovery http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
2) Download the ROM you want from its thread
3) Download Gapps if you want them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
4) If the ROM's thread doesn't say it has root built-in, download SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/635/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.36.zip
5) Move the files to your phone if they aren't there already
The flashing steps:
1) Power off your phone
2) Hold power and volume down buttons down until it boots to bootloader
3) Press volume down until you see the text that says recovery
4) Press power button, it will now boot to your recovery
5) Press the big button that says wipe and swipe to factory reset
6) Go back to the recovery start screen
7) Press install
8) Find the files you downloaded earlier and flash them in this order: ROM --> Gapps --> SU
9) Wait while it does its thing
10) Press the button that says reboot system
11) The device will boot and you have just flashed your ROM!

Tutorial fixed
Tried this several times and comes with nothing, I followed tutorial really carefully. The install process through stock recovery running and it said finished, but when I tried to reboot again the CWM Recovery not installed. And then I figure out that the tutorial uncompleted.
So here it is the fixed Tutorial for Root and CWM Hisense HS-EG909 / AD683G
Installation CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod)
1. Download file (you can select one of below), remember theres is two type of CWM Recovery. One is a CWM/CWM Touch Recovery, and others is CWM Recovery-Temporary
CWM-6.0.2.3.zip
CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip
CWM-6.0.2.3-touch.zip
Stock-Recovery.zip
2. Connect your USB to your phone then copy CWM file (both of them :CWM-6.0.2.3.zip and CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip)
from your computer to your SD Card
3. Turn Off your phone
4. Press (Power + Volume Down) to entry Stock Recovery then wait until the pictures come out Android then press Home (Install From Stock Recovery)
5. Still in Stock Recovery choose apply update from external storage in the option menu, install CWM-6.0.2.3-temp.zip.
In this state you are in CMW temporary condition, your screen will flicker often but it is okay because this just temporary. You can use volume "up+down" to navigate, "home" for menu and "search" for select.
6. Find a CWM-6.0.2.3.zip file and then install.
7. After it to makesure you can choose Advanced/Reboot into recovery mode. And your device should be reboot into CWM Recovery "Permanent Mode", your screen will not flicker again.
Sorry if this bother TS, I just hope if theres another person see this tutorial so they would not confuse like I did.
If you happen to get a bootloop because of installing a theme in cyanogenmod you downloaded, you've come to the right place.
1) First enter recovery mode, I assume you have twrp or cwm
2) Mount system and data
3) Press Advanced (in twrp)
4) Press File Manager
5) Go to data/system/theme
6) Delete everything there
It should now go back to stock theme, if this helped please press the thanks button.
Hey ppl
i followed these steps : " From this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-to-running-android-lollipop-t3041413 "
1. Download the latest version of CM12 or any other lollipop rom along with the Gapps package. I recommend that you use this (use 5.0x for CM12). Download Thunderzap 4.1 as well. (Don't ask why, but make sure you have this in your computer.) Place the ROM and gapps zip files in your SD card or internal storage.
2. The best way to install any custom ROM is to flash them coming from a stock rom. (Skip this step if you're already on stock 1.17) So if you're not on stock, go ahead and grab an FTF from my thread. (Latest version 1.17 - recommended) Flash the stock rom. If you don't know how to do that use this guide as a reference. Do NOT exclude anything.
3. Now you need to flash a custom kernel. To do this, locate and extract the thunderzap 4.1.zip you downloaded earlier on your computer. Then pull out (or copy it somewhere else) the bootjbcwm.img file. You'll need to flash this file via fastboot. If you know how to do that, skip the next step and proceed to step 5.
4. Power off your phone. Open flashtool and select the flash icon. Now hold the volume up button and plug in your Xperia L to your computer via USB. Select fastboot mode. Under "By DoomLoRD", select the option, "select kernel to flash". Now right above the open button you should see an arrow where it says *.sin. Select that and choose *.img. Locate the bootjbcwm.img file and select it. In a matter of seconds the kernel should be successfully flashed. Now turn on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up. You have now entered CWM recovery.
but at the end i tried " holding the volume up button " and it gives me light but it doesn't open CWM recovery, then mobile open normally, any help plz
Thnx.
Solved, Thnx anyway ^^

Welcome to my guide on how to install XPOSED on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-1337M) this guide is strictly for the SGH-1337M the reason I made this was because I spent a lot of hours trying to put parts of threads together since no one had specifically made a guide that was simple and noob friendly for installing XPOSED. Another reason is some people feel uncomfortable following guides made for the SGH-1337 mainly because it is different from the SGH-1337M. Another reason was I found no updated 2016/2017 guides for it. Follow every part step by step or you may risk losing your phone.

(EDIT)
OneUI 4.1 has finally arrived, if you haven't got your Tab s6 rooted, you can just follow the instructions below. This new part is for the people who followed the guide to root their Tab s6 and now want to update to the new firmware version without losing their data. This guide is inspired in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...te-rooted-device-whilst-keeping-data.4245989/. But for simplicity of search I have decided to place it here
(END OF EDIT)
I ran into some problems and took some time to figure out how to install TWRP and root the tablet. The normal procedure by which you flash TWRP and then flash Magisk doesn't work as the download mode won't accept non-official files.
Then, once I got my tablet rooted by the patching method of Magisk, I installed TWRP with their app and got stuck in the logo due to not formatting the data.
After some research and quite a lot of time, I managed to get around that and be able to do everything.
Here is a step by step detailed guide of how to do so.
ATTENTION: These modifications void your warranty and may brick your device. I am in no way responsible for any damage you may cause. Follow this guide at your own risk
Requirements:
-> Latest version of the firmware of your model (I used this site which had the latest version and decent download speeds https://galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-T860)
(To find which version to download, go into the Phone app, and type *#1234#)
-> Latest Magisk.apk file (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
-> Disbale_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip file (https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe)
-> Latest TWRP img (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/gts6l (europe) or https://dl.twrp.me/gts6l (americas))
-> Official TWRP tool (Play Store)
-> Samsung drivers (https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver)
-> Latest Version of Odin (https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin)
-> SD Card or Minimal ADB and Fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790)
(If SD card)
Copy Magisk, AP file from the firmware zip, Disable_dm zip and TWRP img into the SD card, else, you will have to use adb sideload
0. Create a backup of all your data (we are going to wipe the data of the tablet)
(Tablet)
1. Activate developer settings (go to Settings->About Tablet->Software information, and tap 5 times on build number).
2. Go into developer settings and activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
3. Turn off the tablet and turn it back on pressing Power + Vol. Down buttons to enter Device Unlock Mode.
4. Press and hold Vol. Up and in the next menu, press Vol. Up to unlock the bootloader (attention, this will erase all of your data)
5. Run through the setup, but be sure to activate the internet (this will prevent the tablet from relocking).
6. Activate developer settings again, and go into it to check that OEM unlocking is greyed out.
7. Install Magisk
(PC)
8. (No SD) Copy the AP file to the Tablet.
(Tablet)
9. Go into Magisk, press Install->Patch a file->Recovery mode (on)->Select file (The AP file).
10. Copy the patched file back into your computer.
11. Shut down the tablet.
12. Press Vol. Up + Vol. Down and connect the tablet to your computer with a USB to enter download mode.
(PC)
13. Open Odin, it should show that your device is connected.
14. Go to the settings tab and uncheck the Auto-Reboot option.
15. Flash all the files of the latest firmware, using CSC (not HOME_CSC) but substituting the AP file with the patched one. (With the WiFi version, you might not have a CP file, don't worry)
CRITICAL STEP (if not followed correctly, may lead to bootloop)
(Tablet)
16. Once the flashing is complete, press Vol. Down + Power during 7 seconds to restart the tablet. As soon as the screen blacks out, swap to Vol. Up + Power (and keep pressing even though it asks to press power) to enter the recovery.
17. In the recovery, navigate to Wipe data/factory reset with the volume buttons and press power button to select. Confirm and reboot.
18. While rebooting, you need to press Vol. Up + Power during 3 seconds (Until the press power to continue appears). This is due to Magisk being installed in the recovery partition.
19. Run through the setup again, but this time you need to login into your google account to enter the Play Store.
20. You should have the Magisk app installed. Open it and it will configure itself.
21. When it reboots, press again Vol. Up + Power for 3 sec.
22. Download the Official TWRP app.
(PC)
23. (No SD) Copy the latest TWRP image previously downloaded into the tablet.
(Tablet)
24. Go into the TWRP app and give it root permissions.
25. Enter TWRP flash and select the latest TWRP img
26. Go into the reboot menu and select reboot recovery.
27. The phone will reboot into TWRP.
28. Tick don't show this message again and slide to allow modifications.
29. Wipe -> Wipe data, Cache and Dalvik and Format data.
30. Reboot -> Recovery.
31. (SD) Flash Disable_DM-Verity zip, and then flash Magisk zip.
32. (No SD) enter the advanced menu and open adb sideload. Connect to the PC, open Minimal adb and fastboot and adb sideload the zip files.
33. Reboot system
Congrats, you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy tab S6 with TWRP installed!
FAQ:
1) Ok, I f* up, I am now stuck in the Samsung logo, what do I do?
Press Power and Vol. Down for 7 seconds, this will auto reboot your tablet. Then, as soon as the screen goes off, try to press Vol. Down + Vol. Up and connect through USB to the PC. With some luck, you manage to get into download mode. If you don't, repeat.
Flash the files with the Magisk modified AP, reboot into recovery and factory reset (follow the next instructions if you want to install TWRP), or else flash the stock rom.
2) I am seeing some screens with some warning messages, is that Ok?
Yes, it is normal, Samsung does that to scare people off from installing modifications on their devices. Can I take them off? Yes, but it is not a simple process. If you really want to, follow this guide, but adapting to the device (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sage-on-samsung-a30-after-root-device.3954589). Another important thing is, when you want to enter recovery, you need to keep pressing Vol. Up + Power, even when the tablet displays the message that asks to press the power button.
3) Don't know... You ask
Works perfectly, thank you!
I have a question: to decrypt the internal memory which files can I flash?
