Good morning,
where can i find or how can i make a stock rom flashable via TWRP of stock firmware SM-G930F?
thanks
i want to know this same thing too if possible. previously owned S5 smg-900f which was good, but defo needs root access to unlock those missing things and remove the bloatware. S5 was simple to root but custom roms just caused problems so i found an almost stock one back then which worked great.
S7 edge smg-935f seems to be much more of a task.
i've tried various different methods already to try to get the s7 edge on root but it just isn't having it so far after about 20-25 attempts. different issues keep popping up.
*before you say it, yes it is the exynos not snapdragon version*
I need only because all the roms modded are for edge version and generate some problems on flat, so i want to flash a stock from TWRP keeping the advantage of use twrp for modding but remain stock... (i know that with odin i can flash stock an then mount TWRP..but i want a last chance when i made some troble with custom roms...)
bye
There is at least a way to make it from official stock firmware??

Sup guys,
I've rooted every phone I've had, but I do it so infrequently that I always have to refresh my memory with it. Current situation is that I have a rooted M8 running mostly stock 4.4.4 ROM, but with a bunch of Xposed mods and a few system tweaks - it's dialed in just the way I want it, but the screen is separating so I've got my hands on another M8 running 4.4.2. I basically want to get the 4.4.2 M8 to the state of my 4.4.4 device. I've already made a complete backup ROM from the 4.4.4 phone and I want to restore that ROM to the 4.4.2 device. With the 4.4.2 device, I plan to:
S-Off (Try Firewater. May or may not work. If doesn't work, try Sunshine)
Install recovery - CWM or TWRP
Flash Super SU
Update firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52017763&postcount=2
Flash my complete backup ROM from my current device
Sanity check? Am I missing anything here? When I rooted my current M8 (4.4.2), weaksauce actually worked, and I flashed CWM recovery and Super SU by placing them on the SD card. That is what I plan to do again since that was so easy. Recommendations?
Cheers guys!

firewater sever is taken down, even if you have an old version of it laying around it is useless.. you must pay for sunshine.
but other than that everything looks good.
you have your nandroid backup, on the new m8, s-off using sunshine, then update the firmware from 442 to 444, then flash custom recovery (TWRP is recommended), and then wipe and restore the nandroid and you should be good to go. :good:
(no need to flash supersu as the ROM you have backed up using nandroid is already rooted)
Many thanks! A couple of years ago when I did this I remember it being fairly straightforward. Do you personally find any real benefit in upgrading to one of the Lollipop ROMs this go 'round? Seems like it's more trouble than what you gain, though I may be uninformed of course..
Cheers!

I find many benefits to LP over KK personally.
If you like a stock ROM we have stock based LP ROMs, and firmware.zip you can flash and you are up an running a stock LP ROM within 10 minutes. Sure you need to set things up, but most can be backed up and if you take some screen shots of everything it's pretty easy to get everything set up to your liking.
If you want some customization there are ROMs like mine, that come mostly stock with some benefits like root, busybox, etc, and then offer you a MOD Pack.
See ROM thread here
If you want to customize pretty much every aspect of the ROM you have Venom at your fingertips.
Venom ROM thread
There is the benefit of having all the security updates with the newest firmware.
We also have Marshmallow 6.0 ROMs out already that are rock solid.
A Google Play Edition ROM found here
And a Sense based ROM found here
You can also run some Sense 7 ROMs that are very stable, you can find one in my linked thread posted above, and in the Development area.
I personally would try things out, that's the great benefit of root/s-off/custom recovery/ROMs
You can always make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, and flash the older firmware to get right back where you left off.
Best of luck, enjoy your flashings
Looking through the dev threads it doesn't look like there are many (if any?) custom roms for this phone, so what's all the hubbub with rooting it? I'm picking one up to replace a nexus 6, which is obviously rooted and rom'd out but other than TWRP I don't see a point? I'll gladly admit I'm no power user, but is there some advantage I'm missing? There's still no release for 8.0 unless I'm missing something.
Look for custom ROMs in the international G5 forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development). Most international custom ROMs work on the T-Mobile G5 (model H830). I only tried Fulmics, which is based on the stock international rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/rom-02-01-fulmics-rom-1-0-v20a-tweaks-t3530406). There's also LineageOS and others.

Ah, see now this is a good reason. I also considered piracy apps, but that's not a "good" reason to root. Is the downgrading process pretty straight forward then?
The primary advantages of rooting even when no custom roms are available are
1) proper ad-blocking
2) proper backup
3) recovery mode (full system image backup & restore)
4) properly de-bloat system. Dont just disable a million apps and be stuck with certain things that run anyway or wont uninstall. With root you can completely remove junk bloatware from the carriers.
And of course, the ability to flash custom roms if any exist. So there's still plenty good reason to want to root your phone even if you are keeping a stock ROM.

How can you root the T-Mobile G5?
Hello,
So many moons ago I was quite accustomed to flashing my old Galaxy S3 with custom firmware, so now I have an aging S6 and the latest official update is sh#!, so I am pondering my options for rooting / custom flashing. However, there seems to be a lot of varying info for the S6 out there, so I just want to get it straight before I flash it.
In the past I used ODIN, so happy to go down this path again. I've read that I need a custom boot kernel to avoid the non-boot issue caused by dm-verity. If I flash TWRP using ODIN, I assume this will then become non-bootable. But is it then simply a matter of flashing SuperSU via TWRP and it will replace the boot kernel and fix this issue, rooting and bypassing dm-verity? Is there a specific SuperSU image for the G920I I need to grab or is it just a matter of flashing the latest stable, like the one found here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
Also, in the past I ran SlimROM on my S3. Can anyone suggest the best stable custom ROM similar to Slim (i.e. quite vanilla with very little overhead / feature bloat) for my S6?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not really a very advanced user, but always had rooted devices and two that I flashed Custom Roms. This is my first Samsung, finding Touchwiz to be very different from what I used before.
I bought the S7 (930F) and had the news that it was going to be updated to Oreo, so I decided waiting for the update before tinkering with it.. But the update never came. Finally this month Samsung released the update for my region, so I would like to know which would be the best way for me to start finally using my phone that I bought for over 2 months!
My phone is still with Nougat, is it better for me to get the OTA or to flash the Firmware I downloaded from Sammobile? Any of these methods better than the other in preventing errors? I always found in PCs that a fresh clean install was better than an update, but with mobiles I don't have the experience to say.
My main objective is to experiment before doing a debloat as I'm still not sure what might be useful for me on Samsung's bloat (you are welcome to point me what is useful and what is not).
I did see that some of the Customs ROMS have different camera apps and some people were complaining about this, I particularly liked the S7 camera app and the Pro option, that's what holds me back in flashing a Custom ROM atm.
I would like to Root and I find Unlocked Bootloader to be useful to have Xposed Framework and other things that I can do having it.
As I'm a relative newbie, what would you guys recommend me doing? Please help
tl;dr: I want to have Oreo, be able to debloat, want to root and unlock bootloader, not sure about Custom Rom.
Lineage if you want basic and simple (sort of like stock Android). Resurrection Remix if you're a customisation nut (not a slam... I use RR).
If you wonna full samsung u need flash base firmawre custom roms only 8.0 android
If you dnt need samsung integration (pulsometr doesnt work) you can flash 8.1 roms try cosmic os or Lineage 15
I haven't played with Samsung devices since my S2, and now that I have this old S6 I'd like to put TWRP on it.
Looks like what I need is in https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/twrp-t3080940
However looking around it seems at least some S6/S6 Edge phones have something called dm-verify which will prevent booting if I'm on the stock rom/kernel?
I'm not keen on using LineageOS or any of the custom kernels, so can I just flash some sort of modified stock kernel or custom kernel?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nel-aldexus-kernel-samsung-galaxy-s6-t3699679 seems to be EOL so I'm not sure if it will work.
Or do I need to go for the Frankenstein ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-frankensteins6-stock-rom-t3728651 if I want to use TWRP?
