NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL INFORMATION
Enable Developer options for usb debugging
Go to Settings, System section, About device and tap on 'Build number' 7 times until it says you are now a developer. You can now go to Settings, System section, Developer options and enable USB debug.
How to get into Recovery Mode
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.
How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)
1. Unplug the USB cable.
2. Shut down the phone.
3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.

I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by any procedures within this guide. No warranties of any kind are given.
**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
Q. What is ADB Shell?
Adb shell is a linux command line tool (because android is based on linux) used to
send commands to your android device. For S-ON devices, this is crucial for
modifying files in the /system partition (where the rom sits) as you cannot modify
anything in /system when the rom is running without S-OFF like removing system apps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed Custom Recovery but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will
reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google
Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh (requires root). Now when you flash Custom Recovery
it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also do this via the Toolkit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. My AntiVirus program says the Toolkit files may be harmful
The exe compiled files are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as
they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton and AVG Free) may
pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that
doesn't contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Just Restore the
deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine. Or switch to a
better AntiVirus program such as BitDefender.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is the difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup?
A NANDROID will backup the whole system including boot, system, data and recovery
partitions so you can restore a complete rom and all data and settings.
Titanium Backup is mainly used to backup apps and associated user data. These
could be restored AFTER a full wipe and a new Rom had been flashed on your phone.
The other option now which google added into the new adb command list is the adb
backup which is in the ToolKit and can do the same job as Titanium Backup but will
store the data on your PC rather than on the phone (which takes up space).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I cannot find Developer options
With Android 4.2 google have thought it would be funny to hide the Developer options
screen in the Settings. This means you cannot enable usb debugging to communicate
with your device. To show the Developers options screen do the following:
1. Goto Settings, About and tap the Build number text 7 times.
2. When you have tapped 3 times you will be given a countdown of taps until you
become a developer.
3. Once you are told you are now a developer you can go back to the Settings
Screen and can see Developer options.
4. You can now go into Developer options and enable usb debugging.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I am having trouble getting adb working with the drivers installed
Try switching your connection type from media (MTP) mode to camera (P2P) mode.
To do this open the notification area [top left] with the device connected via usb,
click where it says 'connected as' and change from MTP to PTP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How to get into your Download Mode
1. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
2. Keep holding the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons until you see a warning
screen [about 10 seconds]
3. Press the Volume Up button to boot the phone into Download Mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How to get into Recovery
1. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
2. Keep holding the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons until you see a green android
man on the scree [about 15-20 seconds]
Q. I tried to enter the code for the pro version but it says the code is incorrect
1. Make sure the code entered is for the correct Toolkit being used.
2. You need to start the Toolkit with the toolkit.exe file when activating so the
settings can be initialised or the code will not be accepted.
3. Make sure you enter the code correctly as the characters are case sensitive.

A code for 1 device will only work for that device so to answer your question a donation to the S5 Toolkit project would be required to unlock the pro features for that device. Thanks for your support
Mark.
I had to manually install the driver for the ADB when it booted to TWRP but the help option made it pretty clear which driver I was looking for. I am Rooted. Thanks for this.

nd2 update
So I was able to update to the latest official firmware and was not able to re-root with this tool. I still was able to get root with Chainfire though.
So I just got me a galaxy s5 on sprint. It is already updated to ND2. What's the easiest way for me to root if this toolkit won't work?

Thanks.
Welcome, glad you're alive.
Incase you're wondering vivoforums got shutdown.
Anyway.
I tried the lastest 2.0 Custom ROM v6.12.2 by Bine and Drov44.
Both can flash without factory reset.
Bine's v6.12.2 Custom ROM has Gmail issue, there is a fix for that and
Viper4android works.
Drov44's v6.12.2 Custom ROM Gmail is working so as Viper4android.
I can't get Xposed Framework to work for both ROM. Not sure this can work with wipe though.
So I had to return to 6.11.1. I need that Youtube Adway and Gravity Box.
Do you know why it was shut down?
I found bine on a Russian forum, not sure where everyone else went. I was hoping it was a short term problem. It's a pity it's gone as there was a lot of useful information for the Xshot and Xplay.

I went to meizufans.eu (associated to vivoforums.com) created a account, PM the admin what had happened.
Here's the reply.
Complain at Mr.Eyckmans AKA HondaRacer. Because of his greed he refused to give it to us. Instead he tried to pull all of us over.

Yeah same. Lucky i saved most of my guide in a text document and Google Chrome Cached.
I already notice the RUS forum, can't seem to register.
Thailand Vivo Facebook is very active though.
So what ROM are you current using?
I'm still using 1.16.2. I am happy with the stability, all camera controls work as they should, too many complaints on the Chinese forums about deterioration in photo quality and the hard controls not working with zoom etc.
Also complaints about battery life was another factor for holding off.
Xposed framework is installed and all the modules are working. GPS is spot on, cell location works 100%, Google Playstore and services update without problems.
With Funtouch so heavily skinned, I see little point at this time to upgrade to Kitkat.
I did install Nova Launcher early on in my purchase, but saw no real gains in speed, and missed the layout and benefits of funtouch.
My wife has Lollipop on her Nexus 5,and having had a play with it, I don't think I'm missing out.
I will keep coming back to this thread as I may update when it looks like it's really worth it

Hi Wets,
Glad to found you here with the Xshot thread with you. Miss the Vivoforums. Anyway all is well now as I know you will keep this thread alive. Anything worth having in the new update (2.0 6.12.2)? Would like to have a crack on that MIUI Rom V6 as I have it in my MI2 but hate to flash & back if not that smooth as I'm expecting. Hope some people (Vivoforums members), will find this thread and can share their experience.

I don't know.
I'm on bine FunTouch 2.0 6.11.1 with a bit of modification like disable unwanted app, GPS fix and Gmail fix if you have. It's sufficient enough.
I find the GPS and Camera are working quite flawless but i'm no expert. The battery Screen On Time on FunTouch 2.0 is better than 1.2 in my opinion. I get 1 extra hour of Screen On Time.
For Nova launcher, i need the 5x5 home screen and the app drawer. Thus all my phone have Nova Launcher.
Agreed on the Lollipop. i tried CM 12.1, some of the feature is already featured in FunTouch 2.0.

Thanks, I'm just one person. It will be grateful to share any information for the Xshot.
For 2.0 6.12.2 update, i think it's minor so nothing interesting. I can't seem to install Xposed Framework on any Custom ROM running 2.0 6.12.2, so i decided to fall back to 6.11.1.
I'm in the same boat as you, just to lazy to flash MIUI ROM since you have to Factory Reset. Could Backup APPS only in TWRP Recovery and restore it but i never tried it.
I'm glad to know that we have this thread in xda. I didn't get any update and information for the last 4 month after vivoforum been shutdown. I just want to know if is it true that vivo xshot got lollipop custom rom? Here's the link http://newblogphonereviews.blogspot.com/2015/03/working-tutorial-how-to-updateupgrade_96.html?m=0
The bad news is I can't get through the download link because of the survey ads something like that. Hope someone can give some good news that we can update or upgrade to lollipop. I really want to have lollipop run on our device. Looking forward to know further information. Thanks for this useful tutorial. Keep it up buddy. Sorry for my bad english

The website link you're providing is 100% Fake/Scam making users believe it's real.
Here's the reason.
- All duplicate content and put "device name"
- Putting ad survey means another red flag
- The comments are duplicate
Lollipop is still in progress i believe, just enjoy your current version you won't miss anything.
If you want to check any Lollipop update, Go to your OTA (Setting -> System Update) or Go to the Official Chinese Vivo Forum " http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/forum-138-1.html " to see any indication of Lollipop.
Thanks, will keep this Thread up-to date as possible.
Any ways Welcome.
I've rooted my xshot. I try to update to rev 2.5.3, but after the download completed and I try to install it, it say need to boot into recovery mod (stock recovery). But when I boot to recovery mod there's nothing to install. Then I reboot to see if anything goes wrong, it just show the notification that my xshot got new update, need to download it again. I tried several time to update but still the same. So I decided want to flash any stable custom rom. So any suggestions? Which one I should try? V6.11 or V6.12? If I flash one of these rom can I just flash it without wipe data/factory reset? Can you please attached more screenshot?

Bine 6.10.3 - No issue.
Drov44 6.10.3 - I haven't tried it, should be ok.
Bine 6.11.1 - Has Gmail issue.
Drov44 6.11.1 - No issue according to users.
Bine 6.12.2 - Has Gmail Issue and Can't install Xposed Framework.
Drov44 6.12.2 - Can't install Xposed Framework.
You MUST Wipe/Factory Reset if you are coming from any Chinese and International FunTouch 1.2
If you're on Any Chinese 2.0 Custom ROM if can flash with NO Wipe/Factory Reset. Example are you're on FunTouch 2.0 v6.9.7 Custom ROM, it can Flash 6.9.8, 6.10.3, 6.11.1, 6.12.2 with no Wipe/Factory reset but if you are experiencing problem if might have to factory reset.
FunTouch 1.2 based on 4.4 kitkat (Credits to andrejchern)
source
Download Link - https://yadi.sk/d/L_ZtSbbRhM4dG
How to Install
Installation via a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) do a reset, clean the dalvik cache and select the zip on внутренней(внеш.sd map) install, reboot the system.
Changes
Firmware based on flow FT OS android 1.2 4.4 KitKat. Changes: not all cut Russified right Russian users, changed the font. Added: keyboard, apps from Google (Play Market, Youtube, Gmail, Maps)
Problem
Bugs: Flight memory information in the Russian language, perhaps the video (not tried) when selecting settings. When you enable the geolocation from Google, location is switched on and off. through the settings of Google.
Just downloaded international 1.16. Flash it without factory reset, installation aborted. Try with different recovery, still the same. Need to unroot first so I can update. I have touch distortion issue for awhile and I don't know how to get rid of it, little bit slow to respond when typing. How can I unroot back so I can update to rev 2.5.3? It would be more cool if we have pure cm12 rom without funtouch. Hope somebody can provide it for us xshot user.

I never have touch distortion issue, probably use a different keyboard might solve it.
I'm really confused of your situation. Just answer those question below might help.
What current ROM you're using right now?
Is your device Rooted?
What current Recovery do you have?
What's the desire ROM you want to flash/install?
Yes I rooted my device using towelroot.apk,
I used twrp,
My desire rom is cm rom that have cm function like my old s4, they used to have plenty of rom that based on cm.
Let us forget about it. Now this is my current situation.
I flashed funtouch OS 2.0 6.12.2rus. I love the new ui.
The problem is...
Battery drain too fast,
Cannot use other launcher,
Can't detect flashdrive,
Didn't have option to select 3g only,
Others work perfectly. By the way, about my touch distortion it is because I used my powerbank damaged USB cable. I tried with other cable and it's working, but when I unplug the cable, the distortion still there. Thanks again for providing this thread buddy ?
Hopefully they solve the battery drain problem for the future update.
Did you Root your phone at 1.16 using Towelroot.apk?
For Battery life
You just flash a ROM recently, probably need to wait couple of days to judge the battery life. Does the battery drain by standby?
To change launcher
Go to Imanager -> App mgt -> Default App Setting -> The Default Desktop -> Now select your Launcher
I can connect a 8GB flashdrive using OTG cable working fine.
And 1TB Portable Hard Drive using the OTG Y cable it needs power though so i plug one of the Y cable in to a Power-bank. Working fine.
To connect 3g only is to go to Setting -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode -> Select 3G(pref)/2G
I can't comment about the Touch Distortion issue, never experience this before.
Hope this will help.
I found that Vivo Xshot is a good phone but less support even in Vivo chinese forum

Tips
First Install
Make sure you do a format /data the first time you install the rom
(backup your internal storage first if you want to keep something)
The first boot after a rom flash can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.
(First boot takes ~4-5 minutes without gapps and 10+ minutes with gapps)
Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth might require to be turned on twice before it scans and displays the available devices.
Wallpaper Modes
Different Wallpaper modes have been added in Settings => Display
** Normal (regular android mode)
** Disable System Wallpaper rendering (set as default)
** Disable Wallpaper service
2nd setting will prevent the wallpaper being rendered by the system making things faster and also freeing resources
That's the recommended setting you want to use if you are using a launcher that has internal wallpaper rendering
The Default included Launcher3 has internal rendering
For Nova: Go to its Settings => Desktop => Wallpaper Scrolling => Force, then set a wallpaper.
(You will see a black wallpaper if you're not using a launcher that can do internal rendering, If wallpaper is important and that you want to keep your current launcher, then switch back to the 1st setting)
Youtube
Depending on your network and tablet load, 720p videos might not play or take longer to buffer.
Switch to 480p in that case.
Some videos are also 720p60fps so you might need to switch back to 480p for these too.
You can also try an older youtube version and disable auto updates: youtube-v5.0.21
Google Play Movies
Our current Widevine DRM libs are not compatible in MM.
So you can't play a movie on the tablet with Google Play Movies as it requires that.
Starting a movie to play on chromecast should be fine as the drm will be the chromecast one in that case.
Now On Tap
Now On Tap requires the nano opengapps version, however our default /system partition is too small to accommodate them.
So if you want to install the nano or bigger opengapps version, you'll need to repartition the storage space first using Bigwheelie for extended partitions
Then activate Now on Tap from google now settings
Hardware keyboard layouts
More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => asusec => setup keyboard layouts
These also allow live switching without reboot with ctrl + space
Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions
This will allow you not only to redefine function keys assignment, and other special keys actions,
but you'll also be able to assign global macro actions / app launch to any key + Meta key combination (shift Left or Right , ctrl..)
You can also add multiple actions to one key combination, simply click again on the "+" button for the same key combination.
For example if you want to assign to one key combination a list of action to run before going to bed for example, like: turn wifi off, Bluetooth off, mute sound, and turn screen off, you can do that
Note that starting multiple applications with one key is kinda a miss and hit for the moment due to some mecanism in android that seems to prevent applications to start too close to each others.
Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%
There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage
To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb
To run both, open a terminal and run:
su
/etc/kat/optimize
MultiWindow
Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2, 3 or 4 panes
you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Buttons
The app that currently has the focus (or the latest used app if you're on the Desktop) will be used for the main pane (left and/or top depending on the mode and rotation)
And it will lay the remaining most recently used apps in the rest of the available 1-2-3 panes depending on the icon you click
- If you press a multiwindow icon again when in splitview mode, it'll bring the focused app back to fullscreen mode.
- To swap the 2 latest focused apps location / pane , long press on the
NavBar Button
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar Button
That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.
Global Actions:
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview 2-3-4 panes, swap, or switch between the 2 most recent apps have been added
so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press on navbar button too.
Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might crash or not refresh correctly sometime.
To manually position an app in one of the pane:
For the moment either reorder your apps before clicking on an auto mode icon,
or you can also activate the default Marshmallow Multiwindow mode to get extra icons to positions an app in a specific pane (activate it in developer options )
Then position the apps with the icons from the Recents screen. (default MM recents icons are for 2 or 4 panes)

Many thanks, Tim, for keeping the Tf101 alive!
I'm a little afraid to try, but I know I will
Officially my Transformer is one of the oldest devices I own and should really show its age.
But it just doesn't, it sets itself apart from the two other Tegra 2 devices (Notion Ink Adam and Acer Iconia) by being a thoroughly enjoyable device, which reacts very promptly to all input and still is mechanically perfect with great battery life.
Some hardware ingredients like DRAM and Flash seem to be made of better stuff (some benchmark show twice the memory bandwidth than Acer Iconia and NI Adam and the eMMC is lots better than Acer (Adam is notoriously terrible)), but mostly it must be the constant tweaking you (and Google?) have put in, because the performance only got better and better, even if the applications typically got fatter and fatter and 1GB of DRAM is no longer as plenty as it used to be with Android 2.2.
I surely can't say the same for my Nexus 7, which started being somewhat snappier than the Transformer and turned out pretty bad with LP even after turning off the journalling on ext4.
Marshmallow has disappointed me so far (only Nexus 10 migrated yet), mostly because my standard launcher SPB shell 3D no longer works on it and I just like it better than stock or any other.
And then I just don't see any significant improvements beyond Lollipop or rather CM 12 with all the privacy stuff already included. And I just love the fast task switching, which is part of the multiwindow support and which I have on a keyboard shortcut (hope it comes soon).
Somehow I also doubt that Nougat will be better in any sense except "better" Google integration.
But since I'm very much afraid of operating anything without the latest security patches, I'll just have to make the switch.
And I'm sure it will be as perfect as the current LP by the time Nougat comes out.
Thanks Timduru for making it possible
Link is ready, downloading :good:
Thank you. what I've failed to understand, do you need to install a separate root tool? Or is it included in the recommended recovery tool? It's still as i bought it in 2011... Thanks!
Thanks so much Tim gonna test this out

Just follow the procedure from the 1st post:
once you have the recovery installed:
the first time: format /data
then install all 3 zips at once: rom + supersu + gapps
then reboot.
Thank you Tim! Awesome as always. Gonna try ASAP.
One question...
What is the downside of not having omx codecs working?

No omx codecs means no gpu video acceleration, so it'll use cpu to decode instead.
Wait a bit before trying, 019b is coming fixing the reboots with some apps

It sounds so easy... First I don't really know how to install the recovery (hence, i have been spending 'only' app 7 hours on topic by now). I would assume from PWR+VOL- then Vol+ goes to recovery mode, but the device gets stuck with a android red expression mark. I then tried to install the Easyflasher 0.8.3 and managed to first delete the drivers and installed new universal ones. Rebooted and continue to follow the procedure and the Easyflasher on my Windows tells me i have successfully unbricked my Asus Stock. However, when i reboot, it looks all exactly the same, no data lost, no new installation. Then I could, or should?, flash a recovery. However, if i try to do it from the Easyflasher there is only the old TWRP 2.2.1. available and i fail to make use of the downloaded TWRP 2.8.1.1. CLick the Root, doesn't work either.
Then, the frustration goes up and the progress goes down... please advise and push me in the right direction! MUch appreciated!

Installing the recovery is not really the focus of this thread, and it has been a really long time since I installed on mine
But what I would do, since you seem to have easyflasher and drivers working:
- Install TWRP 2.2.1 from easyflasher
- reboot to that TWRP 2.2.1
- Install the TWRP 2.8.1.1 flashable zip from TWRP 2.2.1
- reboot to the recovery and it should now be TWRP 2.8.1.1
Flashed all 3 zip ROM+su+pico but can't boot to Android.
After the Asus logo screen turns black and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

sounds as if the new kernel didn't flash or something.
What recovery are you using ?
Even if the screen goes black you should get adb working after a few minutes, it's still doing things in the background normally.
Try to grab me a logcat + dmesg at that point.
EDIT: Found the problem, yeah kernel not flashing:
Flash it separatly for the moment: Tim_KatKernel_122_MM6.0.zip
that will be fixed in the next version.

Unfortunately me too.
The only step from install note was the "Format" because of lack of time and data cable to copy everything from internal sd to my pc (only way for me is over the air with My Phone Explorer right now).
Tried 19 & 19b together with SuperSu 2.52 and gapps-arm-pico in one flash.
Backlight of screen is on, but then nothing happens over an hour.

Sounds like a plan, i tried and Easyflasher tells me it runs Wheelie,NV Flash then 'finished new reboot into recovery'. I do so, but android gets stuck in the recovery with an red expression mark, then it'll boot normal again.
Might it be that root access is blocking it? The Easyflasher root access tells me to first falsh recovery and put the superuser on sd.
I have installed both TWRP and SuperSu but both run into issues: the first tells me 'root is required' then closes, the second tells me 'no SU binary installed' then closes.
I then decided to go for a very crappy 1-click root access, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193, with an even worse http://www.4shared.com/postDownload/ja5cFLAL/1-Click_Transformer_Root_11.html. This seems to have succeeded and i got root access (!) and the above described issues on TWRP and SuperSu were not gone.
Then in TWRP i couldn't select the zipfile TWRP 2.8.1, and after telling TWRP i had a TF101 i could select an older version like 2.3, which he was going to download. I had to confirm a path but decided to abort. I then tried to boot recovery but unfortunately, and not as i expected, it run into the same red expression mark. I then decided to run APX mode again and see if easyflasher could access root now. Also negative. Then run normal ABD mode and checked if i could do something with SuperSu, also negative.
So it seems my problem is that TWRP doesn't allow me to select the right zip file and as a result i can't run any recovery... any idea?
UPDATE: going back to apx flash the default TWRP2.2.1 then reboot to recovery succeeds in Easyflasher but the same red expression mark with Android. so also negative

But just one thing: Please, use the XDA Fileserver instead of Dropbox or any other service. Dropbox has a limit, so if over 10-50 people download the file in short time, your file will be suspended.

Before I put this on, my entire /0/storage was under 1GB.
NOW my /0/storage weighed in at a hefty 1.35 to 1.4 GB
No worries though. System wipe in TWRP WILL cut the added weight back to original.

Make sure you have latest official updates for your phone:
Connect to Wifi and go to Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
### BACKUP NOW, you will lose everything.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.7 RECOVERY
Go to Settings > About phone> Software information.
Tap 7 times on Build number item to unlock Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, switch OEM unlock ON and Confirm.
Shutdown phone.
Boot in Download Mode: hold Home + Power + Volume- until you see blue-green Warning screen and release buttons.
Confirm access to Download mode by pressing Volume+.
Phone now displays "Downloading..., Do not turn off target".
Connect phone in USB, wait for drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify re-partition and Auto Reboot are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
In AP > select twrp-3.6.2_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar
### Same recovery for Korean models (G930S/K/L variants)
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Wait until flash Success message appears.
Unplug phone.
Restart phone to recovery :
- hold Power + Home + Volume- until phone screen becomes black...
- and immediatly switch from Volume- to Volume+ (still holding Power + Home) and hold until Samsung's logo is displayed to land in TWRP recovery.
### If Android launches, hold 3 buttons until phone restarts and Samsung logo appears.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
(Boot in Recovery Mode: Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot)
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.
You can now select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Boot, System, Baseband and EFS partitions. In case of problem, you will have your phone in its original state.
Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect phone to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access phones memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
### Make sure you copied TWRP backup from internal memory to somewhere safe.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup at step 2), then Swipe to Wipe.
Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, (MAGISK ROOT) AND GAPPS
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect phone to PC again.
Connect phone to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on phone's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your phone to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your phone to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + BitGApps + Magisk on phone.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
Optional for root: Add More zips > Magisk*.zip
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
After restart, go to Install, select bitgapps*.zip and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
Configure Android as you like.
Don't try to set fingerprints at first setup. It will crash.
No need for extra work to be root.
Magisk launches with Android.
Superuser permissions can be managed from Magisk Manager app.
8) TWEAKS
- Calibrate battery: https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Battery_Calibration
- Set dark Mode to improve battery by 30%
Settings > Display > Dark theme.
- For better battery, remove Always on display
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Ambient display
- Activate Developer options
Go to Settings > About.
At bottom, tap 7 times on Build number. You activated Developer options.
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options.
- Change screen definition for low GPU/CPU usage: from 1440x2560 to 1080x1920
You need developer options to enable USB debugging.
Open a terminal where adb.exe from my pack is located.
Plug phone and Authorize USB debugging.
Then type:
Code:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 400
// Defaults 1440x2560 and 504
- Screen sensitivity is too low ?

- Reboot recovery
- Flash rom
- Reboot recovery
- Flash BitGApps
Enjoy
Force Samsung Galaxy S7 restart
Hold Power + Volume down for 10-20 seconds
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Please fix two minor typos: In the Odin instructions, the files should be hero2lte* not herolte*.
Re Magisk: 24.0, I suppose, should be used / upgraded to. (I've run into issues with 24.2 on another platform.)

Hi, you are correct and I'll fix glitch.
For Magisk, as you report bugs, I'll wait to move to 24.x. You can create an Issue here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues
Thanks for sharing

Then
Reboot to Recovery
Flash ROM
Reboot to recovery
Flash BitGapps
Reboot
I solved problem.
I installed older version TWRP with Odin and new version
hey @djibe89 & other XDA folks, thanks for these steps.
I have a SMG935W8 and currently borked on the BiTGApps step. All proceeded smoothly until there and now I'm seeing an error on TWRP and I'm not really sure how to resolve it.
It's complaining that the install config is not found and that it's an unsupported Android SDK version, which doesn't seem quite right.
Any tips would be highly appreciated
Judging from my deep dive, the current LineageOS 19.1 builds are SDK 32, and the BiTGapps builds only support up to 31... Definitely looking for tips, still.
Going to try this post's GApps
Hi, for now, stick to latest LOS 19 build: https://github.com/ivanmeler/ota_provider/releases/tag/herolte_lineage-19.0_1646935359, not 19.1
Or could you try NikGapps and tell us?
Thanks @djibe89 ! I went with NikGapps and that was a win.
It might be good to edit the top post to say 19.0 or have the NikGapps linked in it, for future readers.
Phone's working great. I appreciate it!

Hi, I'll update it.
I hoped a newer BitGapps update would be released by now.
Enjoy, this phone is awesome
Hey again!
Been daily driving this for a bit and here's a laundry list of the issues I see, in no order at all.
I'm not sure if they're Lineage issues or artifacts of being an "unsupported" Lineage build.
1. The screen just stays on despite the power save settings (I've tried 15s, 30s, you name it) if I'm on the home screen. Trebuchet, is it?
It's like it has some keep alive function a la YouTube. It's not 100% but it seems far more than 50% of the time that I have to manually lock the device. Anyone know if I've just configured something wrong or if this is how the launcher is supposed to work?
2. Phone services will not stop demanding my location, no matter what I configure. It's every few minutes and it's creeping me out a ton. Why is it so nosey?
3. The call audio quality is still barely usable. While I *can* have intelligible business conversations when required, they suffer the quality noticeably and are terribly robotic and tinny. For personal calls, I tried to play it off once but immediately was laughed out of the call: they asked before even a "how are you" could pass if we could switch to VoIP since it was so comically bad. After some kind tips from Ivan I tried mucking with the mixer levels to no avail. They did seem a bit "low" compared to the 18.1/19.0 values, so I pumped them in a couple places (NB volume from 22 to 32, call default volume on 917 from 98 to 164 -- I have no clue what any of these mean). It might be louder now? It's not worth an A/B test to confirm what should be the expectation, but my point is that it didn't fix the robotic, tinny quality.
4. Banking app complains of the device being rooted, but it isn't. "Great." I hear the latest Zygisk might fix? I haven't tried yet.
Now, I'm still excited to be on 12L! I'm trying to buff my ability to dev on this ROM and fix up some of these issues, as I really don't think this phone needs to be replaced yet, but being stuck on stock Oreo isn't working either, so I say let's hack this thing till it's stable as stock!
Hi @Bujiraso , thanks for sharing.
Didn't use it on a daily basis
Have you tried another launcher ?
I think bank apps detect custom ROM, nothing can be done. Hope I'm wrong. Some genius of signature spoofing can pass this I believe. But I'm not.

hi, is it possible for the model number SM-G9350

Hi, sadly no.
9350 and 9300 have Snapdragon SOCs, not Exynos.
Only Android 8 ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
Oh, ok. And is there any good custom rom for the SM-G9350 model?

Like you see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
No.
This happens with Qualcomm proprietary SOCs
