I own an al10 device and I decided to try the new update B172, I dirty flashed, and I decided to cook my own rom. I've deodexed files and all is running fine, I've tried to integrate kangvip while deodexing the files but cannot get it to stick. My question is how do you get to integrate kangvip tools in a ROM? All I was able to find was some Chinese websites, Google translator is struggling in making a sense of what I found so far. I am sure, it's not very complicated, I just need some hints or guidance on the right thing to do. Thanks!

I've been learning recently how to cook with some of the roms that I've found throughout your forums and haven't been able to really find any information about getting the current ROM and things off of my phone. Basically, I would like to have it in a flashable format so that when and if I flash a rom that I don't like I can just reflash to my current rom and everything be back the way it was. I'm sure this is posted somewhere already (which I have searched several times) and I'm just not finding it. Can anyone steer this complete NOOB! in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciative since I'm just learning to cook.
EDIT: I just found the program called Wizard Service Tool v4.2.2. Would this do essentially the same thing and if so, how would I do it?
what ROM are you currently on? The stock AT&T one?
It's the stock one that Dutty put out which was found here. I've made a couple of different adjustments and such but nothing major. I was simply wanting to keep a base flashable ROM file for backup purposes.
UPDATE: I did go through the process of dumping and reconstructing my phone's rom using directions found here. and I've unfortunately encountered the ERROR 262 while flashing it back to my phone to try to see if it worked. Gonna sort that out now.

Try using itsme Tools and kaiserkitchen to extract your rom and make it flashable.All info and downloads available at kaiser wiki.
I was successful in using the itsme tools and dumping and then rebuilding my original rom using the screencasts there but when I tried to reflash it it would hang up at anywhere between 29 and 37%. I said to heck with it and flashed it back to the original ROM and pushed my backup that I made with Sprite Backup before toying with it. In no way am I done with cooking....it's took cool.
First off, I'd like to say thank you in advance for any help I receive. I'm not an expert by any means at this - I would consider myself amateur at best!
I'm fairly desperate at this point - I've been trying for days to solve this myself by following various tutorials and forums, but have had no luck, so I'm really hoping someone here is willing to help me out!
What I've been trying to do:
Install official Google 4.2.2 Jellybean on HTC One 802w Dual sim model.
Current State of phone:
The phone is currently rooted and has clockwork mod installed and SuperSu 1.65 and has moonshine installed. However, I've had absolutely no luck in finding or flashing a 4.2.2 ROM onto the phone. I cannot find a ROM to match the phone - all the zips I download from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43177948&postcount=369 say that they're corrupted and can't be copied to the phone or extracted. I find this really weird as I've checked the MD5 with HashCalc and they match. I have searched around other sites but cannot for the life of me find a ROM that works.
If it isn't possible to install the official Google ROM, I would be ecstatic if someone were to guide me through the process of restoring the phone to a complete factory state. I downloaded a supposed recovery img file for this phone, however it doesn't seem to work, so I flashed clockwork back on instead.
If anyone can help me with either of these things, I would be EXTREMELY grateful - I've reached a point where I'm at a complete loss on what to do.
Thank you very much for your time

you wont be able to flash a stock Google Rom onto an 802W.
I was just looking for a way to do the same!

Dear Scott,
I was looking for a way to install a Google Play Edition on my HTC One 802w when I stumbled upon your post.
Although I cannot help you with your primary goal, as I have not found a way to do it myself, I think you may have a chance to get your phone back to work installing an alternative ROM.
I have a MaximusHD (http://llabtoofer.com/2013/07/23/htc-one-dual-sim-maximushd/) running on my phone, and it is pretty customizable; but it is not a stock ROM.
I hope my advice will be of some use for you.
If you find a way to flash a Google Edition ROM on the 802w, please, post it for us here.
Good luck!
Me too, looking for alternative custom ROM for this model. I had to buy this model which comes from China Unicom which is not sold in my country (Malaysia) because i really need a good dual sim phone. I read thru the Maximus HD had some issues with dropped calls and Bluetooth connection sometimes not stable. Is there other custom ROM out there that I can try? Really hate all these chinese apps taking up space on this phone.

Hey everyone, I need a little help downgrading my android 6.0 to 5.1. I've looked online and found several ways to do it but I need help figuring out which is the best method. In one method it shows to flash the 5 .img files (recovery, uderdata, system, etc.) I found another method where the user uses NRT and does it in one click. In another method I don't have to flash all the files in my image folder, only flash-all.bat and need to wipe cache partition in my recovery, also wipe date/factory reset. Each of these methods is different from the other and has me really confused on which is the correct one, as you can tell I m fairly new to this so please excuse my inexperience, any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Why?
Just a learning experience. Would you happen to know how I should go about this?
They are all correct.
The nrt is runs a script just like flash-all.bat. Manually flashing individual img files has been automated by nrt and flash-all.bat.
Wow, thanks a lot for the information. So either route I take will give me a favorable result. Once downgraded would I need to root my phone again?
Yes, you'll have to re-root.
But why downgrade rather than just apply another 6.0 or 6.0.1? I don't understand why people want to go backwards.
I will eventually go back to 6.1 but since I'm new to the scene in just trying to learn. Thanks for answering my question.

If you are doing it to learn about flashing it would be the same to just flash 6.1 again, same process. Also, it the theme of learning the process, it is best to follow the guide in general and flash each file in fastboot separately, the flash-all.bat or NRT are just going to do all the things for you and you will learn nothing.
Hi,
iam glad this place still exits
I've got a S6 (SM-G920F), more or less a testing-device (poor Batterie^^) . It was on Android 7 Stock, may not updated for 6month+, not 100% sure . Was my first mistake, i don't know any more details...
First i tried a few old stock from sammobile (Android 5.1.1 etc.) and tried to flash with odin. As you may guess it didnt work. I thought "Stocks - should be easy " and there are many outdated guides who tell this. I searched for the error messages (onscreen) and found hints that this problems could be caused by Bootloader who deny downgrading, may also for good reasons. I didnt read any deeper, as i found this Guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/guide-downgrade-sm-g920f-nougat-to-t3639253
Followed this Guide with https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920F/DBT/download/G920FXXU2COH2/54694/ as "Source". I worked with the engineering bootloader and the told parts from the Stock. RecoveryMode was broken, but systems seems boot fine and no obvious Errors or Problems. A good guide for that goal, but no guide can teach me whats going up in detail. I want to understand a little bit more, and not searching for a "from any to ANY guide"
Actually iam trying to get on 6.0.1 Stock, but this guide doesnt work for me with a few stock-roms, not booting.
Flashing complete stocks with odin still fails. Flashing dont start or fail at hidden.img.
I came to this page with my first xda, later flashed a lot with my Galaxys...S2-S4, also custom roms- but stayed on stock at some point. So i should have basic knowledge, but i realize its outdated and there a few new "stummbling blocks" etc. Therefore i decided to get more in detail and ask here, before trial and error with other ways (like flashing with recovery)may leads to a brick. Not founded deeper informations myself. In the past i knew which parts a rom/firmware could have and their functions and whats possible with it.
Somebody here with time to help? Where can i find infos which bootloader i got, which others i may can flash (on what way) and which one is working with which Rom^^ Hope that the device wasnt on newest BL, and i still have the choice. Is the Kernel or other parts important as long as iam only trying to jump between stocks?
I backuped efs-partition with TWRP and stored the backup folder on PC, is that enogh to be prevent IMEI lost?
Hints or Links could be enough in some cases.
Thanks for reading and your work

G920f is international version, so compatible with all roms. Frankly speaking, flashing is basically same as s2 etc. If you're on nougat, then nougat bootloader.
Idk why u want to go to Marshmallow, but some guys managed to flash a Marshmallow custom rom directly from nougat. It's called xtrestolite. It has no support whatsoever. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
For TWRP & ROOT, follow the steps in this video https://youtu.be/BV1ELmu8T0I & that's it.
DO NOT USE supersu. USE & flash latest Magisk v15.0+ (stable) from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...80cb6-t3618589 Download latest Magisk Manager as well
So the steps are:
From the links in the video, download the specific twrp for g920f. This one: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-...roflte.img.tar The first file.
Install the Samsung drivers from the link in the video on your pc.
Download & extract Odin.exe.(link in video. Use the same version)
Enable usb debugging on your phone.
Put your phone to download mode
Start odin. Follow the steps in the video to install twrp
When install is complete, immediately reboot to twrp to flash latest Magisk. Wipe Dalvik.
Reboot. Install latest Magisk Manager
Check status in the Magisk Manager.
Done.
If not rooted, flash magisk.zip again in twrp
SuperSu gave problems to some users. Magisk was successfully installed in the first shot!
Nougat roms I'd suggest to flash. They're in S6 unified forum:
MiPa rom, A8 2016 v2, OdexLite v4.1
Try the Nougat roms I've mentioned since you're already on Nougat.
BTW Don't flash any kernels. Stay with those which came with the roms
Okay so there's a few things I need to go over for this.
The main issue I have is I'm not able to install magisk. I only want it so I can hide my root/custom ROM from pokemon go so I can still play the game. I have a Galaxy S7 UK locked to Vodafone carrier. When I was first rooting I followed a guide on tenorshare (I can't post links as I just signed up on here and don't have 10 posts. A google search of "root s7" should come up with the result from this site. It's a guide with pictures.)
I think this was my mistake though. I was dumb and didn't make a backup of my stock ROM in any way so once I installed this there wasn't really any going back.
Now you might ask, why not just download the stock ROM and flash it with Odin? Well, I looked around on sammobile, looking at Galaxy S7 G930F - my specific model number, but couldn't find a stock ROM to flash. Even the most recent one listed gave an error, then on my phone it showed the error about trying to flash a v2 bootloader to a v4 bootloader, which obviously cannot be done.
So then I bit the bullet and installed The Galaxy Project custom ROM. Everything is working completely fine apart from the aforementioned issue with Pokemon GO.
Magisk fails to install with the boot.img already patched by something, but I can't *unpatch* it because I don't have stock. I did some research and learned that you can use suhide-lite to do the same job, however it doesn't work at all even with setting Pokemon GO to be hidden away.
I just want to know how I'm supposed to go about getting magisk installed, or how to get back to stock without an actual backup. I'm new to rooting and stuff but I'm not new to tech modding, so I did a lot of research before doing all this. The sad part is I seem to have messed up even despite looking things up.
If they're necessary, my phone is currently running Android 8.0.0 Oreo even when it was on stock.

I'm assuming your UK Vodafone so www.sammobile.com /firmware or use SamFirm tool from this forum to download stock direct from Samsung servers.

I stated in OP that I already tried getting it from sammobile however it wasn't working, explained why in the OP.
Ok Batman so this is your firmware with boot loader V4 on Sammobile >>here<<
However it takes a while to download with a free account.
You can get Samfirm Tool from this thread but make sure it's version 0.3.6.zip, then read the tread on how to use it, it's easy. >>here<< Ignore the message at the top of the post about it not working etc, it still works. SamFirm is much faster then Sammobile.
I will also tell you that you can install BTU (UK Unbranded) if you don't use any Vodafone crap installed on your phone. Still be locked to Voda though. Now then there you go.
Is there apps like sgs screenbooster for better sensitivity??also who use sgs?any reccomended settings for this app??
