Hi,
First post on here. I have bought the SM-N9200 in China after my Z3 screen broke for the second time. I live here (china) at the moment but did not realise that you would be unable to install google play services and therefore google play on the phone. I have a fair few apps purchased on GP and would like them on my phone.
I have read that I would need to have root access prior to being able to install GP but I am running into problems. I have never rooted before even though I was aware of the process etc but have so far been unsuccessful using kingoroot and I cannot seem to find a root method for the Chinese n9200. I saw today that the spaceX kernel supports N9200 so I thought that I would flash twrp with odin and then consider flashing spaceX. However when I try and flash TWRP it fails and the phone displays a message in Chinese that I cannot read as my Chinese is not that great still.
I am not in a hurry to install a custom rom at the moment and mainly just want to be able to get my apps. Can anyone suggest a method? is it possible to install HK Rom onto Chinese n9200 for example?
Many thanks

To flash in Odin you need to enable OEM unlock in Developer Settings.
I tried installing Chinese on HK and it failed (Cache.img)
OEM unlock and USB debugging are on. Odin was run as Admin.
If you try flashing the wrong TWRP (i.e not for your phone) will it fail or will it still flash. I was trying to TWRP for the DUOS version which i am assuming is my phone as DUOS is the dual sim variant?
I will get a chinese friend to tell me what the message is and take a photo of what happens.
Essentially i boot into DL mode and then attempt to flash when the bar fills up the odin still says recovery but the screen on the phone gives me warning (triangle with exclamation) and some information including a the web address for samsung.com/cn
I can help with that Chinese message. There are some problems for you to use GP in China. First, you can use Odin to install HK (TGY) Rom( remember to backup before u do so). After you install HK Rom, you need to connect to a VPN and then go to Google settings.
Hope these info would help you.
Possible solution found in another thread. it seems that the bootloader is locked on some devices and therefore you cannot flash anything.

One question. What would be the difference between the HK and Chinese versions of N9200 other than some restrictions. Is it safe to use guides like the one linked for a chinese version?

TGY is the name for HK ROM. You can find it on samsung-updates. Both Mainland and HK variant share the same specs, which is N9200.
SUCCESS!
So after much stress I have a rooted, TWRP'd, Romd N9200 Chinese version. I say stressed as I had some problems when i flashed TWRP in that it would not let me boot back into the stock rom. this leads me to one unanswered question. When flashing TWRP with ODIN is it a requirement to flash a new rom?? I say this as I had the following problem. When I first flashed twrp the phone booted into stock so I rebooted into recovery only to find stock recovery and no twrp. I checked that the KNOX counter had been tripped (it had) but I was confused. I read on twrp website that on some devices if you let phone reboot into stock after twrp flash rom it overwrites custom recovery. I eventually flashed twrp and quickly pressed key combination for recovery and I had twrp but then I could not boot into stock rom (bootloop).
After spending the afternoon in a state of panic I reflashed the stock rom from Sammobile and was back in business. crisis over and a bit of confidence gained.
I am now using SpaceX kernel following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/kernel-spacex-pure-edition-stock-t3236317
so far no problems so thanks to @Manh_IT
Here is my step by step if anyone finds themselves in same position:
1) unlock OEM and USB Debugging and backup everything using SmartSwitch (this replaced Kies I believe)
2)download CROM apk from Samsung appstore to unlock bootloader
3)Download SpaceX, SuperSU.apk, Gapps and twrp and place all except twrp onto phone memory
4)Flash TWRP with ODIN and reboot into recovery using method described above if need be.
5)factory reset in twrp
6)flash SpaceX and Gapps
7)reboot system and install SuperSU
I hope this helps someone.:good:
Anyone rooted in n9200 with latest OKA firmware?
actually you don't need to root your device...
just make sure OEM unlocked and find a HK version stock ROM and install it with Odin

well if you use N9200(CN)...you can follow the steps to get gapps
Once you use Crom.apk, you lose your warranty , so DON'T use CROM to unlock the phone
Make sure OEM unlocked
Reset to factory in case of some issues
Turn off the phone
Take the sim out of the phone
Get into download mode
Plug to PC and use ODIN to flash the HK stock ROM.
gapps will be install , no root, and you wont lose you warranty , but the battery saving is not as good as CN version.
I have gapps on my note 5 n9200

Hi great to heard that you have managed to resolved this issue. I have the same problem ( I bought my Note 5 in Beijing recently), so please can you explain what I need to do? I can do point 1 & 2 but stuck on point 3 and the rest. Where do I get all these files from?

Hello,
I currently have the following:
Phone: OnePlus 3T A3003
Recovery: TWRP 3.1.1-x | blu_spark v37
Rom: RR-N-v5.8.3-20170603-oneplus3-official
I installed all of this after hours of googling last year. I now want to upgrade but I am not finding many helping guides are upgrading (rather than installing from scratch).
I downloaded RR-O-v6.1.0-20180627-oneplus3-official and tried to install it via TWRP (after backing up and wiping some stuff). But I got the an error stating something along the lines of "this rom is for oneplus3/t" and your device is "". Googling lead me to believe I needed to update my recovery. So I downloaded TWRP-3.2.2-0oneplus3.img but I really have no idea if I should be installing this? Last time I installed the blu_spark variant but I have no idea why.
Anyway, my question is:
Given the above, please could someone give me a laymans guide to updating my Custom ROM and which things I should install and in which order.
Thank you!

Clean Flash:
1) Latest Official TWRP (Can be done from within old TWRP)
2) Reboot Recovery to new TWRP
3) Wipe
4) Latest Firmware (OB29)
5) ROM
6) OpenGapps Arm64 8.1 Nano or Pico
7) Root Optional
Don't forget to Nandroid first, and it might be a good idea to remove any security measures on your current setup too. (Fingerprint/Pin/Pattern)
Queue up the zips for Firmware/ROM/Gapps and flash in that order together.
Thank you,
Some follow up questions:
* What should I be wiping during step 3.
* Should I install TWRP 3.2.2, does it matter that I currently have the blu_spark variant? (I don't even know what blu_spark means)
* I am just reading about firmware. I am assuming I need OB29 to work with RR-O-v6.1.0-20180627-oneplus3-official? Is that a simple process?

Just follow the steps. The TWRP you download will be an .img file. In the TWRP Install menu press the button for Image to flash the .img file.
For step 3, from the Wipe menu just swipe to wipe.

Thank you, final question. I note you advised to remove security. I changed from 'Pin' to 'None' and gave me a warning about removing it which I agreed to. It still states my phone is encrypted however, and I still need to enter my PIN when restarting. Will this be a problem?

I believe removing your stored fingerprints removes the boot PIN. Don't stress if you can't do this, it's just an additional precaution.

Pin/password and fingerprints are two different things. Fingerprints are just a convenient method of authenticating. Removing them does nothing for the actual security with is pin/password.
The reason for removing the lock screen password before taking a backup is that if you install a new ROM and set a password and then restore your older backup, you can't get past the lock screen password. So, remove the password before taking the backup and then you can restore it later and set a new password.
I find the better option is to not remove the password and then, if you need to restore the backup after having changed passwords, you can delete the passwords of the restored backup in TWRP from Advanced>Terminal with these commands:
Code:
cd /data/system
rm -f gatekeeper.* locksettings.*
Changing the pin/password to none doesn't wipe out the on-boot password. However, when setting up a new password and selecting to not set an on-boot password will remove the current on-boot password for some users, but not for others (it doesn't for me).

Thanks guys.
I followed your instructions @DirkGently and it worked a charm.
What you recommend for rooting the device and is as simple as flashing a zip file like above?
Also, is the recovery on a separate partition? So if I mess around flashing firmware/rom/apps and mess up, I'll always be able to boot into the recovery partition and flash again?
Thanks,

Yes and yes, but firmware may be tricky and messing up too much may render phone unusable. Messing with ROMs is fine though.
Thanks for the reply.
I note that on the Magisk page it states:
"If you plan to flash a custom kernel, flash it AFTER installing Magisk"
I have already installed a custom rom, will this be an issue?
Sorry for so many question. I get really nervous about this stuff!

That's ok of you asking questions, that's what this forum is about.
You should have got no problems if you're running a kernel shipped with custom ROM. Custom kernel is like EX, Mady's Xtended, Franco and so on.

You don't need to worry about Kernel stuff. RR already includes Caesium Kernel. You chose a good ROM by the way!
Here's a little information about Firmware. The OP3 and OP3T have unified builds. This means that in some cases the same Custom ROM can be used on both. There is some device specific software though so this has to be separated out and treated as independent from the ROM. This is what we refer to as Firmware. When Oneplus release new builds they include the updated Firmware in their Official ROM. If you look at the Firmware thread i linked you to, you'll see that kamilmirza takes the Firmware from the Official OOS builds and makes them available as flashable .zip files that we can use on Custom ROMs. Bookmark his Thread for future use.
There is no need to stress about always being on the latest Firmware for your Custom ROM, just ensure it is the Firmware intended for your device. The version you flashed earlier will probably do you for a while. At the same time, if you do always want to be on the latest, there's no reason not to. There's little to be gained by it though. If you're following the RR thread you'll probably see people mention it when the ROM requires a new Firmware. Again, don't stress about it.
As far as flashing Firmware, you can do it any time. You can do it before flashing an updated build of your ROM, or on it's own in a separate visit to Recovery. It's not particular either way. I would stick with the Open Beta Firmware, which people usually abbreviate to OBXX, i.e OB29. Just remember what you flashed so that you know which version you are using.
Now that you're rocking your Custom ROM you're next questions will be about updating it. This can be done easily and safely by Dirty Flashing. I've done dozens of updated builds since my last clean flash and everything has gone perfectly every single time.
Dirty Flash:
1) Download new ROM build (and Firmware if applicable) to Internal Storage.
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Nandroid Backup
4) From Install Menu, flash Firmware (if applicable), and ROM.
5) Wipe Dalvik & Cache when prompted. (BillGoss will tell you it's not necessary. It doesn't hurt either way, so up to you!)
6) Reboot phone.
For a Dirty Flash, you do not need to use the 'Wipe' Menu at all.
I always take a new Nandroid before flashing an updated build. I will have had a whole week on the previous build so i know i'm not backing up a bug and the backup will be as recent as possible if a problem occurs. Once i boot back into the phone i delete the old Backup. The new one is there if i need it. Always have that one recent Backup, just in case. As i've said, RR is great and i'm yet to run into a problem with it. From now on you can Dirty Flash the updated weekly builds with little to worry about and with a Backup to fall back to if anything goes wrong.
I don't mention Magisk because i don't use it, and i don't advise others use it. Unless you need Root access for something specific, don't bother. Half the threads on XDA are about problems with Magisk. Avoid the added complication if you can. Now this statement will trigger the Magisk fans, but nobody has ever had a bug or failure with something that they did not flash in the first place. Keep it as simple as possible.
Today i want to explain how to update your phone in all cases you can be. The Thread is divided into situations and methods.

No, the recommended is the local update
Nice work
Thanks for this. This is my first OnePlus device. I'm coming from a 5-year-old HTC One so updating pretty much meant wiping phone completely and reinstalling the ROM. I watched that video on the local update method. Good to know that even the full ROM installation doesn't wipe my data.
I do need some clarification on some things, though. I'm case 2 - stock ROM, unlocked BL & rooted. I have YouTube Vanced installed via Magisk as well as AdAway. I assume those would be considered modifications. In this guide, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78026660&postcount=3, it says that rooted users need to first uninstall Magisk & restore images before installing the update. Then reinstall Magisk after updating. But here it doesn't mention the need to do this. What's the difference between these two processes? I've read lots of posts lately where people get into a soft brick situation after making some modifications. But I'm not seeing any explinations as to why this happens & I'd like to avoid that.
If I use the local update method from this thread, will Magisk survive the update and will I still be rooted? Or will I need to reinstall it & re-root?

If you flash a stock rom you will lose all the mods you already do, root and twrp included. If you want you can keep the root, i will attach a image guide.

Those are the instructions that I was referring to that had me a bit confused. Is there any benefit to doing the update that way compared to using the local update method and re-flashing Magisk, the way I did when I rooted the first time? Does one method have less potential for messing something up?

Hey guys,
Re: OnePlus6T, Oxygen OS 9.0.7
SOS: Can anyone give me a Guide for Dummies (lol) kinda tutorial on how to unroot, remove twrp, remove magisk, remove adb+fastboot and everything else that had been done in the process of rooting+modding. (root as per https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-your-oneplus-6t-with-magisk-0190586/ ) (stereo mod as per https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/magisk-stereo-speaker-mod-oneplus-6t-t3860041)
Actually, i am a total newbie/non-techie. But right after updating to os 9.0.7, i took fancy to having a stereo output through the earpiece, too. But in the end, there was no sound from the earpiece. Also, i found some other complications in other sections of the phone, although i don't know whether they were related/due to the stereo mod or the rooting process. And being a non-techie, I did not want to tinker with my phone any further. So, i decided to roll back and intuitively (1)first uninstalled stereo mod from magisk, (2)then uninstalled magisk from within the magisk itself, (3)then used the case #2 method, illustrated at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795 to go back to the stock rom.
But i find that i have still not gone fully back to the factory state. When booting, i find the screen which informs me about the unlocked fastboot status, etc., which shows that twrp etc are still on my system. I would certainly want to go back to the factory condition. Will someone of you guide me step by step (as i am a non-techie) into removing this fastboot, twrp, etc. and bring me back to the factory condition and also (ii)in removing any fastboot/adb related things, if any, from my windows 10 PC? I shall be very grateful, as I am scared as well as left with no further technical skill to delve further into technical misadventure. It was my big mistake to undertake this exercise, without possessing any technical knowhow, i admit.
Anyway, someone please help.

I did the ''root'' because I wanted to change the font and improve the sound but tlost quality on Netflix, and I that is important to me because I use it a lot. I want to back to L1
The problem was when I tried to eliminate the ''root'' (magisk) The system did not star and i was afraid because Iam not an expert so i flashed the ''full OTA'' and it works again, Now I want to remove twrp but I dont know how so I need help because i dont want brick my phone

First post is pretty clear. If you don't know what to do go with the fastboot method, the local update method (if that's what you did with full OTA) must have overwritten your recovery anyway. Boot in recovery to see which recovery you have.
Hello,
I used your fastboot guide yesterday to recover my phone but I accidently flashed a newer version (9.0.10) then I had (9.0.7).
Do I need to reflash my device? If so with what method?
Steps I did:
1. Boot TWRP and wiped all except Internal Storage
2. Reboot in to the bootl;oader
3. Unpacked 9.0.10-OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_017_all_1812111237_f52c4612-FASTBOOT.zip
4. Used flash-all.bat
5. Phone rebooted and working
I did not used TWRP because it did not show the correct internal storage??? If antone knows how to fix that please let me know using latest blu_spark TWRP
My new MI8 SE is not my daily use, so I got time to check all available MIUI custom rom (eu,Globe,MiRum,Miuipro,Ros,MS and Masik 1.8.)
At this point no problem, they install very well and they answer my needs.
BUT:
AS EVERYBODY should know that it is very easy to delete the central Password and finger print by the mean of our sophisticated tool (I mean TWRP).
In order to be safe '(without turning back to stock rom) I tried to encrypt the phone WITHOUT success...
Process failed every time with different results (full reset, logo loop for hours, partial encrypt for data only). But was always the point that minimum security can't be reached!
Question:
-Can you well sleep If you mind that you are having all your precious data available in the wind as soon your phone is lost or stolen or even worst let in some bad friends hands...? It takes 1 mn to delete the file without any computer.
I see a partial solution by installing afterward a stock recovery that does allow to trick the system file.
(If somebody has it, I am available to test this option, but don't tell me to flash a stock rom as solution!!)
Your comments/solutions are welcome.
You can have encryption with custom ROM, if the corresponding kernel enabled built-in force encryption.
I'm currently running phh treble 9.0 encrypted, with stock kernel patched by this script:

Thanks for taking care of my post.
This is old now.
I've investigated a bit more and found ways to get MIUI custom ROM encrypted. (for now I want to stay with MIUI stuff!)
I know that almost all AOSP like rom may well encrypt from first install.
My aim was and is still to warn people that without encrypt their phone are open like a lost book.
Thanks for the very interesting and documented thread (link) you directed me to.

If you don't mind could you post a detailed guide to flash our Mi 8 Se. I tried once and got mine hard bricked and i'm scared to try again.
Our forum lacks detailed instruction and it's all hit and trial. And since you have had your hands dirty, could you do that?

Thanks Could you just point me the recovery you're using? that would be great, like exact recovery. I backed up my rom and then while restoring my device, it got hard bricked. :silly:

Available MI8 SE are located here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IeCtb6vRO4CRe76s0BD_5TQiSnymPBTT
Just take care to flash latest 1227 version after EU rom older than 8.12.20 date.
In my view it's a mistake to backup anything with TWRP because as of today nothing is stable. Better to stay with MIUI backup and computer duplication.

That's OK!
you flash 9.2.15 with TWRP 1102 or 1217.
YOU DON't REBOOT THE ROM.
you flash twrp 1227 and THEN you reboot the rom and wait install finish, take some time be partient.
simple!

Finally i got it working following your instructions on the MIUI EU forum. Thanks a bunch. :victory: :highfive:
To others for reference. Following are the procedures that i followed to boot up Miui Eu :silly:
- Flash official 8.12.13 (Dev Fastboot Rom) through MiFlash.
- Flash TWRP 1102
- Clean Data
- Push/ Copy and Flash 8.12.20( EU Rom), it booted up finally without redirecting to Fastboot.
- Update 8.12.20 to latest available from system updater.
- Now there won't be any recovery or we aren't able to enter into available recovery even though the system boots.
- Flash TWRP 1227.
I flashed mi 9t pro rom on my k20 pro. now if i install TWRP and ROOT(Magisk) will I get the OTA?
If yes,
If I flash/install DOLBY or Viper4android or change the Display Refresh rate or any type of System application/modification through TWRP or Magisk , will it stop getting OTA?
and if I get OTA, will those applications or modifications be removed after installing the OTA update?
Thanks
As you already know how to flash things, why would you bother with ota updates?
Ota updates with modified rom is always a surprise. But, definitely you gonna lose some changes if it applies fine...
Thanks for the reply.
I just know how to flash what . but I don't have that much knowledge how things are work. So I am confused all the time. However, I'm not using any modified rom. the rom I've mentioned above is stock fastboot rom. So it would be helpful if anyone gives me the answer.

You won't lose OTA, but OTA will break some things that you've done.
You will need to turn off OTA. Whenever there's an update you want you will need to download the recovery ROM for that version and install it manually in TWRP. You should be OK just wiping cache and dalvik. After installing you will need to immediately install Magisk again in TWRP.
I'm not sure about any mods as I've not used any you mention. I suppose it depends on where they get installed to and if a recovery ROM touches those areas.
