Firmware discussion

Oh hey guys My Father have just bough a Galaxy S7 (SM-G9308) Its a chinese model/firmware!
It has the snapdragon 820 SoC
And the firmware is very very bad!
no play store
no Google accounts no play services!!!!!!
What can I do now?
Can I flash the international SM-G930 firmware from samfirmware and flash with odin?
will it work
TIA

Hello, well first , you need to know that the edition G9308 is region specific , it is not a WCDMA but rather a TD-SDMA edition which can only be used with China Mobile operator (that is for the 4G) , and you cannot flash the international firmware on it , look for the firmware specific to your device model only. my suggestion is that you root the device and flash Gapps and get rid of the chinese bloatware. hope that helps.

I stand to correct myself , after doing some research , I think that there is a chance that you could flash the g9300 firmware on your device too, some forums say that it is possible because they have the same hardware. Sorry for my mistake , I answered at first out of safety measures so you don't brick your device. you can try following a guide on how to flash the G9300 firmware on G9308. Cheers.

So you're saying that I can flash the G9300 firmware on my G9308 one! (using odin)
And then It will flash properly!
Then Follow These steps?
1- install CROM _V1.0.4.apk and run for unlock the bootloader.
2-install Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.59.0.
3-install Odin3_v3.10.7
4-flash G9300-PC9-Auto-Root-0403_3 with odin.
5-wipe data partition in TWRP
6-install open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico-20160329 in TWRP.

Those steps are for root and install of Gapps , but what I am saying is downloading the Entire firmware of G9300 and flash it via odin and it will transform your phone into G9300 (which has multilanguage and Gapps natively installed). (no root needed in this case , just get the G9300 firmware and follow the correct steps to flash it via Odin)

As for the bootloader, I think the chinese edition is unlocked. Check it first.

[FIXED] Bootloops after flashing TWRP 3.1.0.0 on 2.17.401.2

Hello Guys..
Im HTC One A9, S-OFF. on European Nougat 2.17.401.2..
as you know 2.17.401.2 updates for European versions released barely a week ago, RUU is also available in Collection thread..
i tried official TWRP 3.1.0-0 & unofficial 3.0.3-8 on clean stock European Nougat 2.17.401.2..
TWRP was booting but system was trapped in bootloop i.e. phone was booting again and again..
DID ANYONE SUCCESSFULLY FLASH TWRP ON 2.17.401.2 WITHOUT BOOTLOOPS??
if yes, please let me know the procedure. Thank You
Fixed. Please scroll down and see my post. Thanks @JohnRogers23

Did you mount system read/write at all? That's what it sounds like to me. You may need to restore a stock system image or flash an RUU, although a factory reset might solve it too.

yes i allowed modification to system by TWRP. Should i keep system read only?
Factory reset did not solve the probem.. should i flash system image or boot image again after flashing TWRP ?
will it fix the problem, start my phone normally keeping TWRP?
thank you..

Make sure /system is mounted read only until after you've flashed something (for example Magisk or Supersu) that removes dm-verity. If the reset didn't work you'll have to either flash the untouched system image backup or an RUU, no need to mess with the /boot image, and if you only flash the /system image backup it will keep TWRP.

[FIXED] TWRP 3.1.0-0 worked well on 2.17.401.2 :)
1. download TWRP 3.1.0-0 image file from official site.
You will find 2 versions for Hiae , american & European versions, please choose European version, download it.
2. flash twrp via fastboot, then boot into Twrp
3. choose system READ ONLY, dont allow modification by Twrp ( dont wory, twrp still can modify system if zip into system is flashed)
4. now boot into system.. But if you want to flash SuperSU then make a factory reset first then immediately flash latest supersu..

TWRP works perfectly on European versions 2.16.xxx.x & 2.17.xxx.x, you just need to remember couple of things..
1. download TWRP 3.1.0-0 European version from official site only.
2. Flash TWRP on a clean stock ROM or Do a factory reset first.
3. Dont allow TWRP to modify system when it asks for first time.
you can try again checking all things mentioned above.

I tried with 2.16.xx 2.16.xx can not be insulated

your device encrypted?
Try this:
1. flash and boot to latest official TWRP for A9
2. choose wipe and choose Format Data (it will wipe everything on Internal Memory)
3. type yes and confirm formating data, if you see red text error reboot to Download Mode, reboot to Bootloader and enter TWRP recovery again.
4. repeat step 2
5. wipe cache & dalvik cache
6. reboot to system

Yes.
But there are some bugs,such as sim1 singnal always full, and some little issues.

Signal always full on SIM¹ because Openkirin didn't find the solution for accurate signal reading for now (they need to update tree device once they fix it).
That's why it is present in other ROMs

how to root oxygen 12.C35?

If I understand it right I need an boot.img from ROM that I have installed on my Oneplus 8 if I want to root it with magisk. I checked in OxygenOS updater and version that I have installed is IN2015_11_C.35. The problem is I can´t find ZIP from this version anywhere. Anyone know where can I find it or how to root this version?

I extracted the boot.img using MSM Tool.
