Dualbooting custom ROM on Samsung Galaxy s6 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy s6 g920f using TWRP and Magisk v14.0. While working perfectly, I decided to dual boot a custom rom with my stock one, using dual boot patcher. However not only can't I patch the kernel for my custom Lineage os 15 Oreo s6 rom I found:
mega.nz/#F!omZF1IQJ!2bk4dxzyW8ZwluqgrH945g!p3pCyaxI (please put https:// infront of the link to make it work as I am not allowed to post urls yet as i am new)
using dual boot patcher, but I also can't install anything using the flasher. This isn't too big of an issue as I can just flash it in twrp, but as said before, I can't patch the IMG kernel and if i download it as a .zip and patch it, when I go to install it redirects me to another file I don't want to install. I have a nandroid backup, which I have downloaded to my PC. The only reason why I want to dual boot my s6 is so I can still use the gear VR, which is great fun! Please help as I can't figure it out
Thank you

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Upgrade to KitKat or lollipop

Hi Experts,
I want to upgrade my samsung galaxy note GT-N7000.
After reading on how to install custom rom to N7000. I tried one of the way to install the Custom Rom using Install from Zip using SD card.
Steps i have performed to install custom rom are mentioned below:
1. I have install one app to root my phone.
2. Checked with the help of MD5File checkup to confirm that my phone is rooted or not and found that my phone has been rooted.
3. I have gone to developer option and checked USB Debugging.
4. I have not installed any backup tool for the current recovery.
5. i have copied the N7000 CWM Nightly rom which is for KitKat, but it failed in the verification and errored with Status 7.
6. Then with some other roms its failing in status 6.
8. At last one rom Slimsaber got passed in the verification and removed the current rom but while installing or mounting its rom it failed....(This action is performed using Install using Zip from SD Card)
Result was that my phone got hung on the logo. But some how i managed to installed one korean rom on the phone which was having a older version i.e. 4.0.3 and its update was not available so i got my phone updated with the stock rom of 4.1.2 version from samsung store. So now its back to where i have started
Query:
1. Is that the reason i have not installed a custom recovery tool for the existing rom in case the new rom fails (I have missed 4th point: Is there any best app that backup for current stock rom)
Request:
1. Can you guys please tell me which is the ROM that works for N7000 India version for Kitkat and Lollipop(If available)
2. Please suggest the rom that works with Odin because i have bad exp with installing from SDcard. If possible please provide a link for that tar file.
Really appreciate your support and thanks in advance.

You should install/flash a custom recovery and make a complete system (nandroid) backup directly in the custom recovery.
There are some other apps, which can create an Online Nandorid backup (just check Play store), but some apps are not compatible with all devices and to restore such a backup, you will need a custom (CWM or TWRP) recovery anyway.
To get best advices about custom recovery, ROMs, etc. for your device, please ask in the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [FAQ] [Q&A] [Noob Friendly] HELP THREAD - POST ALL YOUR SUPPORT QUESTIONS HERE thread.
P.S.: To install/flash a custom ROM provided as zip file, you usually need a custom recovery. Stock recovery only flashed signed zip file (e.g. official OTA update files from Samsung).
Thread closed and thank you.

Installing Phoenix new Rom for Galaxy s7 G930F

Hi everyone, Newbie here, I wanted to install the new phoenix ROM for the galaxy S7 G930F but it says it can't be done if boot loaders been updated to G930FXXUIBPH6 . Is there anyway around this ? This will be my 1st attempt at installing my 1st Rom as ya can tell lol . Any help would be appreciated Thanks x
You basically have to use Odin to install an older bootloader and modem file and then Phoenix rom will work without any issues. On the Phoenix rom page they will have the bootloader and modem that they recommend for their rom so it saves you having to look for them elsewhere. Just download a copy of Odin 3.12 and use it to load the bootloader and modem file before you install the new rom. You will be able to find out how to do this by searching on this forum.

If have already installed old twrp and want to install a newer version you can install it by this zip file using the old recovery then reboot
And if you want to install it for the first time you must use odin
The newest version is now available for Galaxy j7

How to root with Nougat?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) and read a few topics that there's an issue with SuperSU so it hasn't been made available officially yet.
I saw Dr.Etkan's script so I assume that's what I'd need. However, at the website of TWRP I see this message: "This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."
Does this message still apply for the latest stock rom for android nougat?
I'd be nice if someone could tell me the steps (1, 2, 3 etc etc) to root my Galaxy S6. I flashed the stock rom from France (XEF), and I have rooted my Galaxy S4 in the past, so I know how Odin works and how to get in to download mode.
Thanks!

Where can i find a GT-I9301I Galaxy S3 Neo SEE stock firmware?

Hello everyone. i was trying to change my old secondary phone's recovery from clockwork to twrp and i messed it up,the phone is a samsung galaxy s3 neo (GT-I9301I), now it boots only in "download mode" i want to use odin and flash a stock rom or (custom rom if possible) on it, i tried getting it from sammobile but it doesn't allow regular downloads anymore, only premium ones, so where can i find a stock flashable rom or any odin-compatible custom rom for my GT-I9301I, except from sammobile???
Forget it. I fixed it by myself, finally i found my phone's stock rom in another website, downloaded it and then flashed it with Odin.
