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?

Alright so this is my 1st android phone and have a few questions as to how to do a couple things. I'm pretty smart when it comes to software and modding, but this is new to me do I don't want to screw something up.
I ditched my jailbroken iphone 5 for the galaxy s5. I'm with sprint and it's rooted. I also have odin mobile pro if that helps with anything. So here are my questions, hopefully someone can help and give me some in site.
I would like a custom boot animation. Actually id like to keep my Samsung s5 boot animation, but change the sprint spark animation to something custom. I have poked around in system/media. I do not have the bootanimation.zip. I have multiple QMG files. I'm currently on my stock Rom because I'm not exactly sure about a custom Rom yet. Don't know what to choose or if they are compatible with the g900p. Seems that omega is a good choice, but have only seen updated version for Verizon. I have customized my stock Rom with Winam xposed.
Plus I've read that you have to do a clean restore before flashing a custom Rom. I have Titanium backup pro if that would make things easier. I'd like to get rid of some of the bloatware too.
Since I've rooted and installed xposed and added some modules, my S health no longer works.
Anyone wanna give me some how toos to get my phone into the custom android game?
Thanks!!
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??
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
Have this older Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit SM-S357BL phone. Sure it's a cheap phone but I really like it and wanted to replace samsungs bloatware with a stock android os. Is this even possible and how would I go about doing this? Tried watching YouTube videos but they're just too confusing with loud rap music playing over the videos. Thanks.

Installing stock software won't change anything, it will still have all the Samsung bloatware. Flashing stock software might get rid of bloatware from your carrier such as the Verizon based apps that are installed on Verizon's devices and other carrier based services and apps.
If you want something that is a little more lean and stripped down, that can only be done by flashing modified stock ROMs or true custom ROMs, but that requires an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and/or root.

OK, where would I find a modified stock rom or a leaner custom rom? I guess Lineage os 16 was made for android 9 pie but can't seem to find a download for it.

Yeah, is there a custom rom that is more stripped down than Lineage or is that the best option?

You can't use any kind of custom ROM, you can only use stock ROMs based on your stock firmware that someone has modified and only if a modified stock ROM exists for your specific device model. I don't know if any exist for your device or if there is a working method to install them on your device. You'll have to research that yourself, I'm just telling you what you can and can not use so that you don't go looking for the wrong thing.
