Good day,
I can't seem to find a packaged zip for Marshmellow (maybe prerooted) that is flashable via TWRP, is there such a file?
Or is Odin Flashing pretty much required for the update.
I'm rooted, knox tripped, and have TWRP flashed

I've xt1068. It is unrooted. So it has unlocked bootloader. It has twrp and I've marshmallow update for my phone in zip format. My phone is not connecting to pc. I've tried so many ways to connect it. So can I directly flash through twrp without rooting? If so how? And if not, can I flash it after rooting? I'm planning to root it using SuperSU zip.
Do you have stock firmware in zip format if you have such file then I think you can't flash it through twrp, you can only flash custom roms and twrp backup via twrp not stock image files
Tried to reroot with latest firmware N910TUVU2EQC1. Supersu fails to flash during the boot image patcher portion.
Method I did so far:
1. Update firmware via smart switch. I originally tried to flash via downloaded link but it didn't work so I tried the firmware officially from samsung via smart switch thinking there might have been a bad download link.
2. Odin flash twrp 3.0.2
3. Reboot
4. Try to flash supersu 2.79 va Twrp.
5. Fails during installation process, specifically during the boot image patcher. Tried wiping calche/davik, etc first. Still can't get root.

What about try to flash this room probably it will work https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-n910t3uvu3eqc1-stock-rooted-odex-t3592242. its a stock rooted rom.
I hope you don't have a bad memory problem as many people does. good luck
I was able to flash superSU finally after doing a complete factory wipe and firmware update via smart switch. I deleted some factory installed apps on the last firmware which probably caused some kind of issues when I upgraded to the latest firmware.
On another note, I have the DRK failed to verify message, I have had it since I have had the phone. Any suggestions to fix this? I just did a factory restore via smart switch so I know that doesn't fix it.
Using safestrap
Is there an odin file for Oreo yet? Cause if we have an odin file I believe we can get root for Oreo. I keep seeing OTA update for oreo, but with safestrap installed as recovery I believe if we have an odin file of Oreo we should be able to flash the system.img in odin boot to safestrap and root it with SuperSU. I think we would need a bootloader v2 most likely and use samfail bootloader v2, bl3 might work but I don't know.
I cannot find an odin file for Oreo anyone have a link to one not on bl3, if there is one on bl3 someone who is already on bl3 should try this as I do not want to move to bl3 yet. I will try if someone has a bl2 odin file of oreo though.
The steps would be same as flashing samfail for the most part, first install safestrap, create a backup so if it doesn't work you can flash samfail and safestrap and load your backup that way.
Once you have safestrap installed boot into bootloader and flash only the system.img of the oreo odin file, might need to flash the csc I am not sure but once you have it installed if safestrap stays installed as recovery it should be an easy boot to safestrap flash SuperSU and then boot Oreo.
you need combo fo oreo in order to properly boot up as permissive. Otherwise you will get the same thing ive had for months.
Is there stock ROM zip file available to flash with TWRP?
I've installed TWRP and root. It's not safe to take OTA update any more.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I currently use the stock ROM + WirusMOD Nethunter modified Kernel and Magisk on my SM-G781B/DS.
I installed it quite a while ago using TWRP. I'm still on Android 11 and I'd like to upgrade my system. OTA doesn't work, and I decided to just wipe and completly re-install the stock rom. The Magisk installation guide recommends patching the AP of the ROM over flashing via custom recovery. A custom recovery prohibits OTA upgrades as far as I know, so I would prefer to just keep the stock recovery.
So this is what I planned:
1. modify freshly downloaded stock ROM with Magisk
2. *somehow* install kernel in stock ROM if possible?
3. flash via ODIN
4. finish Magisk setup
I couldn't find that much information and I'm fairly new to rooting in general. So here are the questions I have:
1. Is it possible to flash a custom Kernel without custom recovery, if it is, how?
3. Will OTA updates be accessible with the custom Kernel?
4. Is there another way or did I miss something obvious?
Thanks for any feedback in advance.
you definitely can't flash an AP archive with a custom recovery.
a custom kernel is designed to be flashed by a custom recovery unless it's a single IMG file inside the zip for it.
there's a sizeable chunk of us who manually flash updates, redo twrp, flash a magisk patched boot.img with twrp (once it's been extracted from the AP archive (using a PC app that supports .LZ4 compression)) and then flash a custom kernel finally... every month!
using something like Swift Backup to save apps n data, messages etc helps cut down the misery a bit.

the trend seems to be that it's not getting easier sadly.
