hi everybody who still here
i just receive an samsung SII gt-i9305 from singtel (singapore) unlock.
software are android 4.3
if i want to update (android) and get rid of samsung stuff (changing to lineage or other aosp rom) what is the safest way for me
and please no PC ?
1. root (i use one click root is it okay? already check and can be root but not root it yet)
2. mobile odin to flash TWRP ?
3. reboot to TWRP, backup, flash custom rom ?
are those steps enough?
or any link maybe? with related files.
usually i work with nexus and xiaomi and manage to do it without pc
just root, install twrp from apk
and boot to twrp to install custom rom
but with samsung, i have no clue
any help plz
With PC
1) Flash TWRP via Odin3
2) Flash Custom rom and opengapps via twrp
3) And finally flash root addon
Without PC
Your phone should be rooted first, then install Flashify app from play store, download twrp image for your phone and you can flash it with Flashify

so mobile odin or flashify (which i'm more familiar) are doing the same. just to flash TWRP and that is it.
after TWRP i just can changing rom from twrp.

Hi I this is my first post in xda so pardon me for any mistake.
I am facing some issues while rooting my phone with magisk
I have Micromax q372 unite 3 (2015) running android lollipop v5.0 and I am trying to root with magisk v6.0.
So first I tried to flash magisk zip directly with twrp 3.0.2-0 recovery but it showed an error- unable to unpack boot.img
So I patched boot.img file using magisk manager and then tried flashing it with twrp and my phone went into boot-loop (i was unable to use adb method)
so I renamed patched_boot.img to boot.img and replaced this with an original boot.img file in my firmware and flashed the whole firmware using sp flash tool
and I got into boot-loop again. (I know how to solve boot loop.)
So how to root with magisk now.
- there is no new version of twrp available for my device.
- adb method not working.
- flashing original boot image also not working.
Please help me.

You need either
1. Custom recovery like TWRP to flash the magisk zip, or
2. Find a download of your stock firmware (possibly from sammobile). From which you extract the boot.img from the stock firmware .tar. then use the magisk manager app to patch the boot.img (select output of patched image as .tar for Samsung device) then flash the patched boot.img in Odin from your computer.
All of this information is in the magisk documentation.
I wanna root my phone and as far as I've been told Magisk seems like the best option right now but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I have the Magisk Manager APK on my phone and the ZIP file too but I don't know what to do after. can someone please help me?
my phone is a Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J500H)
I also appreciate any sort of help or tips whatsoever. I'm new to the XDA Forums but after looking at some threads I believe that
you guys can always help someone in need

1. Install odin Download Odin
2. Install latest TWRP Recovery Download TWRP for J500h using Odin
3. Install the (latest .zip of Magisk) from TWRP Recovery. Download Magisk
4. Reboot to system
5. Install latest Magisk Manager v8.0.7

I am using an S10 Is there a fix to this?
Hello phinicool, can be explained what you did before these messages. We have no crystal ball to see in it, if you tried to install the UI5.1 rom from ivan or others.

I used magisk to patch the img. I then made it into a tar file. After that I put my phone into download mode and used odin to install that was where the problem happened. My phone was already bootloaded and I used an official download.
Is it possible for me to just make my phone normal again?
hi, flash the official rom of the s10 with odin.
hi, flash the official rom of the s10 with odin. use the install A12 version if this is the case, on this forum there are tutorials that explain how to do it here for magisk https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
la for root with TRWP and magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...android-12-one-ui-4-1-stock-firmware.4394629/

u need to download fw from sammobile and flash it on odin
Download firmware for your phone in SamFW.
Install it in ODIN.
After, you can install TWRP.tar and vbmeta for your phone in ODIN.
In TWRP you need flash Magisk. Before, you need Magisk convert in .zip file.
Install TWRP.tar and vbmeta:
After the official TWRP is installed do not disconnect the USB cable. Press the Vol Down + Power buttons together. After 7 seconds you will get a black screen. After you get a black screen, press the Vol Up + Bixby + Power keys as soon as possible. Keep it like that until TWRP recovery opens. Wipe all, format data, yes and you can flash custom ROM. After you flashed custom ROM you can flash Magisk.zip in TWRP.
