I am not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of the Free-Droid software.
Free-Droid is now Anarchy-Droid
Free-Droid has been fully rewritten from scratch in go and is now published as Anarchy-Droid. This page is kept for reference only. Please follow the link and use the new version of this software.
Introduction
Free-Droid is an application designed to help you install custom roms on your Android device. It is supposed to make the process of finding, downloading and installing a rom (with addons like Magisk, F-Droid and microG) as easy as possible. The primary audience is all the folks who do not really know anything about Android, TWRP or roms, but still would like to run a free, open-source and non-bloated Android on their devices. Using a free after-market rom like LineageOS should not be restricted to the few people with enough technical know-how to do the complex installation procedure all by themselves.
Free-Droid is free and open-source and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. As of now, it should be working fine with Samsung, OnePlus, NVidia, Sony and Motorola devices and with all other devices that already have TWRP installed.

What it does
help you activate USB debugging
help you install drivers
help you unlock the bootloader
download and install TWRP
update TWRP if a newer version is available
download and install a rom
download and install F-Droid and MicroG
download and install Magisk (legacy method, off by default)
Features and explanations
Please visit the Gitlab page of the project for more details!
Compatibility
Free-Droid is supposed to work on as many devices as possible. Supported brands as of now are:
Samsung
Motorola
Oneplus
NVidia
Sony
Every device that already has TWRP installed: launch Free-Droid, boot your device into TWRP and connect it with USB to your computer
For the support status of a specific device, you can enter its model name here to check the compatibility.
The Free-Droid application itself will tell upon device connection if it is compatible. If it says that your device is not supported, you can be sure that it will not work. As of now, Free-Droid will display device untested for most devices, because I will only mark a device as supported if a few people tested it and confirmed it is actually working fine.
Changelog
For a changelog please just have a look at the commits on gitlab.
Beta
Although Free-Droid already runs very well, I was not able to test it on a lot of computers and with many different devices. Therefore, consider Free-Droid to be beta software for now.
Besides, there are a few things that still need to be implemented. What is not working yet:
project treble roms
devices that need special treatment like storage repartitioning
Finally, in order to lead Free-Droid out of the beta phase of development, a lot of testing needs to be done. This way, Free-Droid will know more reliably which devices can be expected to be workable without issues and which ones it should deny to work on.
Further development plans
add support for more brands that can be easily unlocked
handle project treble GSI roms
add a button to abort a running installation procedure
create packages for 32 bit computers
add MoKee rom
add /e/ rom
add possibility to install openGapps instead of microG ?
add possibility to select an additional zip to flash after the rom ?
fix crash on windows if changing folder on rom selection dialog
add a way to backup and restore using TWRP ?
add more documentation to the gitlab page ?
A note about Magisk installation
Installing magisk is getting more and more difficult. The installation method employed by Free-Droid is now discouraged and called a legacy installation method, because it can cause trouble and break the ability of the system to boot. For that reason, the installation of Magisk is turned off by default now in Free-Droid and a warning is issued to the user when turning it on.
You can still try to install Magisk with Free-Droid during the normal installation procedure. But if your system does not boot afterwards, you will have to try again without Magisk. On some devices, you might need to know how to manually boot into recovery in order to retry the installation (device-specific hardware key combination).
Free-Droid now also provides an easy way to try and install Magisk later on. The same ("legacy") installation method is used, but you can try the installation after the first boot of your newly installed system. I've seen a case where this would work while installing Magisk before the first boot would not work. This assumes that TWRP is connected or at least still installed.
I need you
Please test Free-Droid on your computer and with your device.
In case of issues: use the button in Free-Droid to pack a bug report and either send it with an email or create an issue on the gitlab issue tracker.
If you have a device of a supported brand for which Free-Droid does not find a rom by itself, please leave me a message with a link to a working rom (and/or TWRP image). If you can confirm that the rom is stable and fully working, I will add it to the Free-Droid unofficial archive and it will become available in Free-Droid.
If you know about a faulty official release of TWRP or a rom, please also leave me a message. Example: the latest few official releases of TWRP for i9305 (Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE) are faulty and fail when trying to install a rom with sideload. Free-Droid uses a specific version of TWRP in that case and can automatically handle cases like that in general. I just need to know which devices need a workaround.

You're absolutely right, thanks for pointing that out!
Fixed.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Mac support has landed. You can now download Free-Droid for MacOS.
Depending on your Gatekeeper settings, you might need to launch Free-Droid by right-clicking on it and selecting Open. If it still fails to start, try to start the file called "right-click open" in the same way.
It is out and works with Ubuntu 18.4.2 and a Galaxy S5 (kltedv). Can Take a bit to download and install all of its Binaries .... A bit like Odin look. Similar to Skipsoft, with out a huge amount of reading.
Version 0.6.6 ; build 20190723; Lic-GPL-3.0
keep up the work on this! Seems rather easy to use.
Will keep an eye for updates coming..
This is beatiful! I wasted probably 2 hours this morning to get a android 9 on my old s5 since i need it for a project, i'm not a complete newby, i rooted and changed rom many time in the last 8 years but i do it every once in a while, so i always have to check for tutorials again and there is alwasy some step that don't go as planned, as today the rom was not installing, was almost ready to give up to not lose more time, saw this, was almost sure this would gone wrong somewhere as all automated stuff while after a couple of clics and 5/10m my s5 was ready with android 9 on it. THIS IS JUST BEATIFUL and great, hope it gain the visibility it deserve!
Really GREAT job!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Support for OnePlus devices has landed.!
Assuming that the bootloader unlock procedure is the same on all OnePlus devices, Free-Droid should work perfectly with them now. Still, any bug report is welcome.
Developed and tested with a OnePlus X (onyx).
Happy flashing to everyone!
Fixed bug when connecting device on the latest release.
Pushing update to the server right now, just restart the application and let it update itself.
Sorry for the server downtime over the last days. Everything is back online again and running.
Update to be released soon with support for nvidia shield tablet (will need testing though).
0.7.3 update released
-Better device detection using a database from here. This should result in less devices not recognized at all. Still, a lot of devices may be recognized, but have no working TWRP or rom known to free-droid.
-a lot of refactoring done in the code
-initial support for NVidia devices. Sould work in theory, but I couldn't test it by myself yet.
Says Device Supported. Then Says "Sorry, I don't know how to work with your device." Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V.

Thanks for reporting this. Maybe you can help me sort this out... The G900V is the Verizon variant if I'm not mistaken. Can you confirm that it *should* work with the official lineageOS for the S5 (klte)? Besides, it would be of great help for me to diagnose and fix the error if you could send me the logs of free-droid. You can hit export logs in the help page of the application and drop the zip either here or send to [email protected]
New update released: 0.7.5
Sony support!
better device recognition
bug fixes
hope u can add support to install custom rom other than Pie 9.0. Coz I want to install stable version of Xposed.
You already can install any ROM you have downloaded. Just select "use my own ROM" and choose the zip.
But I think you can use magisk and the module called tai chi to install and use xposed stuff

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this huge job
Is there a link the official/universal disable force encryption mod somewhere? Or are there different mods for different devices (cause of treble or something)?
Is there any possibility of having the phone encrypted and also be accessible (ability to decrypt) in TWRP? I mean is it a matter of development or is there a security measure preventing it?

Hi. I am yet to unlock the bootloader of my RN6 Pro. Once I do it I'll be getting rid of MIUI and install LOS.
In order to make the recovery work, do I have to decrypt the device? Also, to decrypt I have to flash TWRP from PC(ADB) then wipe /data from TWRP, right? TIA.
can i update this recovery on sayad1 twrp recovery from sayad1

can i flash this rom via sayad1 recovery ??
Sent from my Redmi Note 6 Pro using Tapatalk
if you know why then try and let us know if this one will be better than sayad1 twrp,
and make backup before
for flashing by fastboot you would need an img file ?

Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed!
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Please make sure before upgrading to LineageOS 16.0 to read the Official Instructions here in LOS Wiki carefully!
Make sure before flashing you upgrade the TWRP version with the one provided in the instructions page due to changes to support hardware accelerated encryption on our R7S!
You will run into issues if you do not upgrade to the provided TWRP version!
I recommend a clean install due to above changes.
Followed the instruction exactly but wifi does not work (mac address 02:00:00, it can not find any AP...)
If someone has this issue like me, flash back to Spectrum then boot into it and connect to some AP, then flash LineageOS again, but do not wipe anything.
Does Pixel Launcher work for you?
It crashes on my phone. A workaround: https://www[.]reddit[.]com/r/LineageOS/comments/awjvnk/lineageos_16_stock_open_gapps_pixel_launcher/
Working well so far even though I updated using twrp 3.2.3
Only issues are, app permissions seem to show up when they want and bluetooth connection can be ropey depending on device. Have one receiver with no issues but my Sennheisers cant keep a connection from two feet. Will try re-pairing.
Thanks to you all. :highfive:
I needed this for root, so for anyone who needs it...

I do use magisk, I need to install this beforehand or magisk doesn't work.
When I first installed 16, I read that lineage removed the su binaries so there is no root out of the box.
Bit of a pain really.
When the screen is locked, you're still able to swipe down from the status bar to expand it to show buttons. Is there any way to disable expanding the status bar when the screen is locked?
Just tried the recommended TWRP image and it screwed it up. Now i have no recovery! I'll have to attach to a computer to see if I can reflash it to get back in. Anyone else try this with the same result?
Hi, is there any difference between the build 16-04 and 17-04 ? No changelog is shown.

The recommended TWRP image is actually a lower version than the official image through the TWRP app, and that's why my recovery got screwed up. I'd flashed an earlier image onto a later one. The recommended one would probably be the one to use if you were switching to Lineage for the first time, maybe? Just to warn people not to be as careless as I am!
I spent half a day messing about with getting the tools again to perform a flash from my pc. Every time, I end up relying on "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" because I have no luck getting any other driver package to work. But this package really is the smallest pack to get it done and it makes it easy to use, thank goodness.
Thanks to the developers for continuing to work on the phone. I'm loving Android 9/Lineage 16. There isn't much of a visual change, which is great. Under the hood, it's more obvious, but it's definitely running much smoother than L15 already.

There will, of course, be changes, or it wouldn't be offered. Most changes are bug fixes or security updates, so you wouldn't necessarily notice any change.
Maybe the gestures are sensitive but every time I go out, the phone always opens my music player at destination. Have turned them off see if it happens again.
Never happened on 15.
Bluetooth seems to be a mixed bag so far. When it works it's fine, but when connection is lost re-pairing and forget/connect can be hit and miss. It will show the device but not be connected so you have to go deeper into settings to fix it.
More often I always end up going the long way round just to get connection.
BT ended up rock solid on 15 so I'm confident it'll improve.
Update. So clearing storage and cache in 'App info' seems to have fixed connection issue. Let's see how we get on...

Mine keeps connecting, disconnecting, connecting... But only when there's no music playing, like it's trying to save power (so maybe it's one of the battery saving services under Android 9). Mine isn't forgetting, though. At least not yet...

Tried again today, it has the device listed but wont connect. Have to go all the way in BT menu to connect manually.
It's a problem with Pie on the whole apparently.

Ah, yes, it loses the pairing in our car, too. It's a small annoyance, can live with that!

About LineageOS4MicroG & LineageOS
LineageOS unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation.
Full Play Services compatibility [Well-almost...YMMV]
Our ROM has built-in microG free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google's proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. This enables you to use every Google service you need without keeping another closed-source binary blob in your Android system.
Native F-Droid support
LineageOS for microG comes with F-Droid already installed. You can use it to access plenty of FOSS applications or even a Play Store bridge repository like Playmaker or GPlayWeb.
About LineageOS
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Rom Built by Bernie_nixWhy build Oreo Now? What about other variants of the G5?:
Oreo is very stable on the h830 and works great with microg. I'm using this build now. This is also a build I am interested in maintaining and comparing to a future Pie build with microg built-in. Unfortunately, Android 17/Q is not yet fully compatible with microg.
Working:
5ghz WiFi, camera, calling, bluetooth, great battery life. USB-C audio earbuds work great. Reported that NFC works.
You tell me.
Known issues:
Please test WiFi, NFC. IR blaster not working for me but I may need to find a suitable app; please test. FM radio reported not working.
Automatic updates not yet implemented but will be in next build.
You tell me.
Install Instructions (If coming from another rom):
Prerequisites: Coming from another rom with Developer settings enabled, android debugging enabled.
(1) Boot into twrp (or ofox)
(2) Wipe your device. Select Wipe button, Advanced Wipe, Choose: Dalvik/ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System. Then Swipe to Wipe all of these (if in twrp. if in ofox, wipe system but do not wipe system 10)
(3) Select Format Data Button. Type yes
(4) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(5) Install Magisk if you choose.
(5) Press back arrow button 2x to get back to main screen. Select Wipe button. Select format data button. Type yes.
(6) Reboot. Phone may or may not mention "no os installed." Ignore it. Proceed with reboot. Phone will boot twice, then boot into lineageos4microg.
DO NOT install twrp installer/orange fox installer until after phone boots into lineageos4microg or it will not boot. After you have setup lineageos, you can then reboot into twrp and install orange fox or twrp and magisk if you choose. Do not ever install any GAPPS on this ROM. Reinstall of TWP/Ofox should not be required if upgrading (at least on Ofox).
Upgrade Instructions (If coming from my previous build):
Prerequisites: Developer settings enabled, android debugging enabled.
(1) Boot into twrp (or ofox)
(2) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(3) Wipe caches.
(4) Magisk should persist after reboot but if not, go back into twrp/ofox and flash it.
DO NOT install twrp installer/orange fox installer until after phone boots into lineageos4microg or it will not boot. After you have setup lineageos, you can then reboot into twrp and install orange fox or twrp and magisk if you choose. Do not ever install any GAPPS on this ROM. Reinstall of TWP/Ofox should not be required if upgrading (at least on Ofox).
Tips for Use
1. Root can be enabled in this build (if not installing Magisk) by going to Developer Settings->Manage Root Access->Apps and ADB
2. To turn off battery led when charging, Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Battery Light
3. To set up Microg,
(1) open MicroG app,
(2) press self-check, press battery optimizations ignored and allow,
(3) go back one screen, select unified nlp settings, configure location backends, press the checkbox next to mozilla location service and ok, configure address lookup backends, press checkbox next to nominatum and ok,
(4) then go through Google services from top to bottom and enter your information.
(5) Enable location from pull-down shade. Open maps, get your location. Go back to Microg. Run self-check. All boxes should show a check.
(6) Microg is setup in less than 5 minutes and fully working.
(7) Turn off location from pull-down shade bc they're tracking you 4. Want a better GPS experience? Install Deja Vu Location Service, GSM Location Service and Radiocells.org Unified Network Location Provider Backend from F-Droid. Works great with Google Maps or OSM.
5. I've found Hypercam to take excellent pics with our cameras. Please download for the G5 here: https://gcambrasil.com.br/lg

I would love to build for the h840, unfortunately it seems harder to build for. Not seeing a whole lot of sources or development on that variant.
Thank you anyway. I'll always have hope.
Thanks, @Bernie_nix this rom is super stable I was wondering how you build LineageOS4Microg the instructions on their website didn't make sense to me. Thanks so much for this rom. Will you make Pie builds?

Yes I will continue forward to make an los 16 microg build. As far building yourself, please read the first post. I will not answer any questions related to building in this current thread after my response below.
I'm going to put together some info on GitHub with required files and some instructions to build on Ubuntu. In a nutshell, you install docker on Ubuntu, install the microg docker container and then supply a manifest file for the docker to download sources, etc.
I don't provide support for building in my threads because it's off-topic and really adds quite a bit of support that is better provided in its own unique thread where many members can help. I would be happy to answer questions in a Q/A thread of its own, on GitHub or in a telegram group.
If anyone is reading this and knows of an active telegram group for the g5 please message me and I'd be happy to provide assistance there. Otherwise wait until I update on GitHub. I have my reasons but do happily share in the spirit of open source. A ROM release thread is not the place to do it.
Amazing rom! Just installed on my h850 and it works great! The suggested GCAM is also very good. I have tested NFC and it does work fine (tested only between 2 phones). The IR however seems to work very strange... I tested with the app irplus which does seem to transmit something the first time you press a button but then it just starts loop blinking the IR led like a notification led on off on off on off about every second until a reboot. You can see this by pointing another camera at it. Also i was just wondering if it's possible for you to somehow add fm radio? It worked great on the stock rom but I noticed that no custom roms seem to have it. It isn't something that would cause me to not use this great rom but it would be nice to have. Also.. I wiped everything in orange fox before installing including system10 before I noticed the warning about keeping that but it works fine so far. Do I need to do something about it or can I just ignore it? What even is system10? First time I've ever seen it on any device.

Thank you for your kind words! I've been testing it on my h830, and it really has brought some new life to my device. Even my pictures aren't coming out yellow like they were on stock! Thank you for testing NFC, and I am glad to hear that works for you. I had similar results with the IR blaster, and that's one of the features I love about this phone; I will try to see if I can improve the functionality as at least it does turn on but unfortunately can't give an ETA; this will involve looking into some lg and lineage sources if they are available. I will also look into fm radio. As most custom roms are built off of a similar base, that explains why it doesn't work in most. It may not be possible to pull the files and include them in the rom, but I may be able to create a magisk module with some lg files; again can't give an ETA as I don't know what I will find or how long it will take. I will investigate though. As for system 10 in ofox, I haven't been able to find much if any documentation on it. As I didn't erase it on install and it booted, I figured best to be on the safe side

I see. Anyway thank you for looking into the IR issue as I agree that it's a great feature and also the fm radio. I would not have any problems with it being a magisk module if it can't be added to the rom. And yes, the phone runs great with this rom so far. Very responsive and minimal battery drain even with my half dead battery that dies at 50%. It is definitely my new daily driver.
New build released to update to March 2020 security update. See 1st post for download links.

I know that Los usually has lower sound. Haven't experienced the lower mic myself but I could be wrong. You could probably easily edit some mixer_path volumes if it is not to your liking.
Hi, real cool rom. thanx a lot. But: PicoTTS does not work. App shuts down in test. And Hdmi (or Slimport??) on an OTG does not work.
And the LG Camera Plus add-on-piece is not recognized
Is H850_v2.2-mk2000.zip compatible with this rom? or maybe H850_v0.3-BETA2-mk2000.zip?
(after Test) No its not, camera is not working with both kernels and Android says, thats the Vendor Image is not right, when i reboot. What ever that means
P.S. The rest is really stable after 2 days of testing.#
P.P.S. Changing BT Connections from one (Airpods Gen 2) to another (JBL Charge 2) while playing music reboots the phone.

yes. because I am accustomed to downloading apps on Playstore. and some applications when we want to log in using a google account. can't log in using a google account that is included in the Google Microg app.
Thank this rom great . mybe this is litel bug.

Fcking suuuper excited to make this garbage phone just a little less stinky. Thanks for putting this all together!
lol I just noticed I am considered a new member... after 11 years on the site. Must be cause I lurk.
I am interested in an orange fox recovery. But at this point any will do. So, how does one get past the fastboot issue this phone has?
Striking gold once again I see, much thanks and kudos to you,can't wait for release
Thanks alot
I ****ed up and forgot to make a backup of data first. Anyone have the Assurance Wireless APK for activation backed up?

sweet, yeah, i think i am on t-mobile, pretty stoked with it so far. unlimited tether data, and now that its rooted, my vpn works. thinking about cancelling my xfinity.
There a step by step guide?
OK got it worked out what rom you recommend for this device there along on the page lol
I'd like a step-by-step guide too. It would save people a lot of trouble if they don't know this particular method of unlocking. Also, is there a way to unlock the assurance sim card for use on other devices?

Assurance locks the SIM to the IMEI network side,so short of commiting felonies no you can't. Good news is the UMX is sim unlocked out of the box,so you can go to any T-Mobile,AT&T or Sprint MNVO(May need to call ASW and tell them to cancel your service for Sprint ). SafeLink is a good choice for lifeline
An AIO ToolKit is about to be released for this device, I wrote it to handle everything from fresh untouched device to fixing a soft-bricked device. The initial release will be removed shortly and this new ToolKit is for Linux...
Thanks for all your work, assurance sent my grandfather a wiko phone, He received a call and from the phone call. the phone was bricked aswell as some chinese ransomware looking malware. Called assurance and their sending this malware infested UMX again, thanks to you though I can get off that malware infested os and onto stock android! Keep up the great work!
tx for this toolbox coming out!
i got this phone via assurance, and indeed, it not only installs many apps/websites with zero user control, but also apps with all chinese characters, and that was right out of the box. a month later i called assurance to stop my service with them, though i've kept this phone. they asked why i was stopping their service, and i just told her it was enough that i had daily apps/games/sites installed without my permission or control, but that some of them were in a chinese character set; this from a phone given to u.s. citizens applying for federal help during covid.
i now use safelink instead, which just gave me a sim for my pixel 3a, much simpler/safer than assurance.
This is an awesome feat. I thank you so much! BUT I do need to explain a couple points from my experience doing this, just in the event that it maybe helps someone out.
I followed the guide step by step but as I have attempted other root options in the past, I think it caused my phone to soft-brick due to those past attempts that I tried with only my own limited knowledge.
So this is my personal experience, only posting for others in the event that someone else has a similar or identical issue. The issue(s) I had were almost certainly not at the fault of the person who wrote this guide, just FYI. For many, their process has proved successful first-try, as you'll see within the comments.
Again, MY experience:
FIrstly, I had to do things differently. So I DID NOT flash anything to the boot partition. I SKIPPED THAT STEP. (Of course this is after my first try when I followed the post's instructions. After my first attempt I found myself in a soft-brick situation. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I was able to rescue the device using the working device's firmware and I only flashed recovery to begin with, and then booted into TWRP, pushed Magisk and installed it...error. Sideloaded Magisk, SUCCESS!
(Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've got you some Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. PitchBlack wouldn't show my files AT ALL so options were very limited with that recovery.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, and I've got LSposed and even changed my font with a magisk module, as well as the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to @PizzaG , for not only putting this together but for taking the time to share and help others.
(TAKEN FROM ORIGINAL POST-UNCHANGED): We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

This is an awesome feat. I thank you so much! BUT I do need to explain a couple points from my experience doing this, just in the event that it maybe helps someone out.
FIrstly, DO NOT flash anything to the boot partition. SKIP THAT STEP. I did this and it bricked my phone. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I'm currently trying to use the other to pull the firmware off, partition by partition, in hopes I can restore the first one with it, without copying over device info....we'll see lol. But yeah, all you need to do if you want this awesome guide, created by these wonderful devs, to work, is just flash the recovery image...reboot into recovery. (You can hold power and volume up until you see the screen flicker/flash, then let go of power or both power and vol up (I don't think it matters) and wala! You've got into TWRP.
Now, either install Magisk off a microSD card OR just sideload it using adb sideload (path to magisk). I used the latest Magisk from their website. (Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've sideloaded Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. I'm sure it's there somewhere I probably just didn't look well enough.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, unlimited data (xposed framework modules) and completely dark-mode across the device (again, xposed modules). I even changed my font with a magisk module and the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to the guys/girls/team that put this together. We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

you are false in giving people that "advice" if you were in the test Telegram group for this device, you would surely know that 3+ people have been testing the ToolKit without issue. I post the Telegram link for a reason. So if people have an issue with something, instead of badmouthing an option or feature, you come get live help to fix the real issue at hand, which is not flashing the boot image.
So I pushed root for this device and installed a batick recovery and bootloops, trying the unbrick restore.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
Instructions:
Follow the instructions on the wiki page for your device https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung
Only the provided lineage recovery will be supported, using TWRP might result in a possible data loss!
Note: You may use Odin instead of Heimdall, for this you will need to rename the recovery image to recovery.img and pack it into a tar archive.
Downloads:
Builds: https://download.lineageos.org
GApps: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html
Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

What is different between this build and your previous one ?
Big guy, can you come up with a LineageOS that d2q can use, d2q users feel distressed, and there is no rom available

No, sorry hardware is too different.
builds have been removed from the lineage os website?

Yes, see this for the reason
This affected all devices so builds of last few days were pulled and sadly we had only that one build yet
There will be new ones next week
Does the build support hardware encryption or software encryption?
You should put what models this is for as to avoid confusion
just flashed the recovery image via heimdal (got recovery upload success message), but when I try to boot into recovery mode (or even just boot into Android now) I get pushed into download mode with a 'dt load fail' message at the top
says dt entry not found
load kernel could not do normal boot
error verifying vbmeta image - hash mismatch

I recall getting a vbmeta error too and I think it was a locked bootloader issue? Not sure. Definitely a d2s model?
I just reflashed stock and started again. Long press the volume up button at download selection to unlock bootloader.
I'm fairly sure Odin accepted the recovery file if you convert it to .tar. and disable auto reboot so you can button combo directly to recovery. From there install the main ROM zip.
ROM runs fine, few thing missing that I needed so came away from it unfortunately.

certainly no locked bootloader here (have had it unlocked since right after I bought it at launch)
but yea, I'm going to try and reflash the ROM and start from scratch. I was on an outdated version of ONe UI (maybe from December) so maybe that was part of the issue
EDIT - oddly enough, I couldn't get LOS recovery installed via Odin. I tried, got success messages, but a reboot into recovery mode just showed stock recovery (I wasn't missing the button combo, to my knowledge). tried a few times before going back to using heimdall
the second attempt (with a fresh install of OneUI's latest firmware) helped me get past that vbmeta error with heimdall
got LOS recovery installed, the ROM sideloaded, and I'm up and running
thanks for the hard work @Linux4 (and all others involved in working on lineageos)
First, thanks a lot for your work and for making it official, @Linux4 !
One question: I'd like to use MicroG instead of the google stuff. But since I'd rather keep it all simple, I'd not use Magisk, if possible. Is there a recommended and/or simple way to get the signature spoofing patch into this rom? Preferably so that OTA updates still work? Would NanoDroid in system mode work?

I guess the best way here would be waiting until there's a build for your device on https://lineage.microg.org/ (they build for all officially supported devices)
is the bug with registering a fingerprint common? I noticed the issue after I first installed it but then was able to add one very quickly
had to format /data to record a tutorial and after installing the build again, I can't seem to get past the fingerprint register issue I noticed before

It is not broken or whatever, see this from my telegram group in case you just don't figure it out on your own:
If fingerprint enrollment fails for first fingerprint do the following to get it working (doesn't apply to beyond0lte):
1. Retry adding fingerprint but this time tap fast and don't press too hard when putting your finger on the sensor for the first time
2. Repeat step 1 until enrollment continues without error
3. After that it will work fine and doesn't need any special handling anymore

All samsung devices using FOD have that issue it seems, only on first enrollment tho, after that it's completely fine

EDIT - was able to get it working through a factory reset with the 'tap fast' being the key thing. it needs to fail that first attempt or something?
but it's quite quick once that hassle is over with

this worked for me on my first install. describes my exact experience
but yea, it's not working right now. you need a logcat or something?
it's immediately throwing up the enrollment error message right when it attempts the first scan (every time)

No need for a logcat, it does work, for retrying you will need to close settings completely, just going *back* is not enough (HAL will stay in that error state)
I'm 100% sure you didn't do so also it works for everyone else
