Flash one of these with SmartFlashTool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Installing this file WILL fully wipe your device, including the Internal SD. Back up!
SmartFlash for P990 is for use on Windows PCs.
Download SmartFlashTool: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?ebwer79kx5abx61
Download the driver file: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?0373xkigrckka7b
Download the stock ROM you need
Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe application on your PC
Turn device off, remove battery, plug device in while holding volume down - you should see a software update message on screen and the COM port should be filled automatically in the flash application below after installing the drivers if required.
Select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab
Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected
Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected
Click the browse button next to 'CP Bin:' and select the baseband (FLS) file
Click 'Start' and wait for the flash to complete

1 - Download a correct rom for your O2X in your PC and copy it to the root of a micro SD Card;
2 - Put the micro SD Card on your phone;
3 - Push power button and volume up on your phone until the LG logo with the "colors" behind appears (count to 3 and stop pressing the buttons. If doesn't work you may not have the CWM recovery installed or you are pressing the wrong buttons);
4 - When the CWM appears, use vol up or down to navigate the menus and use power button to select option;
5 - Go to "advance options" and then select wipe dalvik cache (and battery stats also);
6 - In the first menu select "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset";
7 - Select "install ZIP from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard";
8 - Then you'll see the ZIP file of the rom you wish to install - select it.
9 - when finished, reboot your phone - the first time, the phone will take more time to be "operational"...
10 - DONE! (Don't forget to tank)...
Ok guys i will try the first post and i will announce you what i did ...
Cheers again !
you just have to flash your baseband again, not g2x baseband simply because g2x shares the same hardware as o2x but has different partitions, as long as you dont flash g2x stuff on your o2x again ull be fine
ok guys ... i did everything ok but the COM port is not filled ... what should i do ?
PLEASE HELP ! I REALLY NEED IT !
before trying to flash, did you install the apx drivers?
---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
also i just remember, if you installed lg drivers before i think the pc will never recognize your phone as apx, so id recomend to use another pc without lg drivers installed, download apx drivers and then do everything again
Hello everybody,
so I'm as new to this forum as I am to the android world. Just this Wednesday i bought a new LG Optimus 4X HD on amazon.de
Thought it would be nice to start of with Cyanogenmod.
So I started my search for some good "How-To's"...it were many I went through and I already invested many hours in getting this running. Sadly it still doesn't work. I actually wanted to stay with one How-To but at one point there's always a download not working so that other sources are needed.
So what did I do...
-I rooted it yes (at this point I needed to download "Rooting Toolkit for Optimus 4X HD" which wasn't downloadable so i switched to another How-To, btw. first How-To: http://androidlegend.com/android-4-2-1-via-cyanogenmod-10-1-for-lg-optimus-4x-hd-p880-cm10-1/
-Installed "LG 4X Recovery 1.2" and installed this way CWM.
-At another point here I installed ROM Manager, installed it and went into Recovery and here happend the first problem, kernel panic.
Said something like "couldn't load kernel/wrong kernel", kernel panics...Me panics too
Anyway, force kill -> auto reboot -> still kernel panic -> again -> batterie out and a few times with usb cable connected to PC -> Batterie again, works :good:
Ok so Clockworkmods Rom Manager seemed to be not that good... did recovery boot with LG 4X Recovery, tada works, I go into the folder with the Cyanogenmod-zip and want to start the ROM installation and it says Status 7 (of course I googled Status 7 and searched here in the xda-boards for it, nothing helpful found yet)
Installed older version of LG 4X Recovery (1.1), still same fault.
I uninstall the ROM manager, redownload and reinstall, try to backup -> Kernel panic.
I search for a different How-To, yet nothing good happened. Others go something similar and say "at booting press On-Button and Volume down-button at the same time", I do that -> Kernel panic
I have no idea whats wrong with the kernel...but normal booting works fine.
Next I read something about needing to unlock bootloader, have a workthrough aka this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
After I enter "adb reboot oem-unlock" in DOS command window it should say something concerning "open bootloader", but not in my case, just a normal reboot happened (this is what it looks like at least). Checking the hidden menu also doesn't show anything as I don't have the option with the boot-loader status there.
Next trick, I go to LG Recovery again and first wipe the whole stuff and try then the Cyanogen istall, still doesn't work and as I wasn't able to backups before (tried Titanium but it froze at 12% and the stuff about ROM Manager is told^^) I now had a clean factory install, all my work before lost, nothing rooted and still a kernel which panics when I do the "safe-boot"(this volume- and on-button-thing).
I also tried 3-All-in-one solutions, neither of them worked. (2 german ones, and one english one)
So I think thats it, ah wrong, still not finished. I also tried to install a new kernel to erase that f****ng problem with the kernel panic. I choose to use WerwewolfJB_v005 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256899
the easy and fast way made the same as the try before with the "open bootloader"-try, just normal restart. When I enter the second line in the command line, it just says "waiting for device".
So yeah, thats it. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know what I could also do, or is this case unsolvable? Is the Smartphone broken or did I make a mistake at any point? What should I do?
I'd be super glad if anyone could help me here. I hope I described my case well enough. I hope I didn't forget anything.
Thanks in advance!

I am also new to this stuff but maybe i could help you anyway
What is the Firmware Version of your phone?
(Sorry for bad english )
The old "adb reboot oem-unlock" didn't work for me on UK, v234-000 either. I followed this thread instead and it worked perfectly first time.
As long as your phone has been turned on and connected to the network for long enough on v20x you should be fine - once you get the notification from LG about your phone being registered or similar then you'll be fine, normally a couple of hours.
Just reflash your phone to stock, wait for the notification and try the two-step method from the above post and you should be fine.
root , recorery and unlock boot loader
you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to flash kernels
( this worked for me but I can't guarantee it will work for others you can only try !! be aware when messing with firmware and bootloader you warranty could be voided )
make sure your phone is rooted you know if it is rooted because you will have superuser installed in your apps ( grey square icon with green android head on it ). if not I used this method to root my phone so try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
if your phone is rooted next you will need a recovery this will help to backup your phone and create a restore point so in case any thing goes wrong. to install a recovery go to play store and download rom manager ( clockworkmod ) once installed open rom manger and select recovery setup. then select install or update recovery then select your phone ( lg optimus 4x hd). then select flash clockworkmod recovery. and then wait while it downloads and setup . hopefully when finished it will say succesfull. ( make sure phone is rooted or it wont work ) to check clockwork mod is working you can reboot into recovery through rom manager or power off phone then hold volume down key press power button to power up but keep holding volume down key until recovery boot up. ( be a wise option to backup phone now in recovery)
next to unlock bootloader ( so you can flash roms with kernels) go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
and download the BL_unlock_new .rar file when its download copy it to your desktop on pc and then extract it to desktop on pc . now make sure your phone is not connected to your computer go to phone settings,then go to development options, and then select usb debugging on. once debugging is on now connect your phone to pc wait for it to connect you can keep your phone on charging mode. now open the BL_unlocking_new extracted folder on desktop on pc and double click on the BL_unlock file a box should open up on your desktop asking you to tap a key to continue so press a key now your phone should reboot and some white writing will appear on screen .on your desktop the bottom line should say please... now tap a key on computer it should say press any key to continue < waiting for device> now disconnect phone from computer look on phone screen it should say now ready! now hold power button for 10 secs and let phone reboot. to test if bootloader is unlocked on phone go to dail pad and dail this 3845#*880# you should get the hidden menu on your screen scroll down to bootloader unlock check and select then select bootloader unlock check and hopefully it should say unlock...
now you have root , recovery and bootloader unlock, now you can download a rom for this phone copy rom ( should be a zip file ) to your phone then open rom manager on phone and reboot in to recovery or power off phone, hold volume down button then press power button should now boot into recovery then you want to use volume keys to scroll down and select wipe data/factory reset with power button then scroll down and select advanced then scroll down and select wipe dalvik cache then you want to select go back then select install zip from sd card then select where you saved your rom sd card or external sd card then select rom then select install...
hopefully if that's helped you or anybody else ...

If the OP can possibly get his bootloader unlocked following the official method then he should, rather than using that file. Nobody really knows what all the 'fuses' that are blown by using that file do and that would certainly result in his warranty being voided in any country, whereas in a lot of countries his warranty won't actually be voided by using the official unlock method.

edited last post with a warning you could void warranty !!
Ok, thanks for the answers so far. But still, wasn't able to get any further.
@Dexxon: Firmware version is 4.0.3
Besides: Kernel Version is 2.6.39.4 and there's also something written like "[email protected] #1" in the hidden menu...is this normal? AP Bootloader Verison unknown and AP OS Version is 2.6.39.4 also this jinwoo...
@SimonTS: I tried to unlock the bootloader with your link and advices (which is the same as i tried before).
Got a message saying "Thanks for buying this LG Phone..blabla" and I guess thats what you mentantioned about that informing.
Battery was loaded to 100% so i connected it to PC, said "LG Software Mode Connection" on the phone (before I always took that "data exchange connection"), went to the adb folder and made a command window there, entered "adb reboot-bootloader", smartphone reboots, should stay in LG window screen, but it doesn't. It just boots totally normal into the home screen.
@Hursty uk: As I said in the first post. Everything regarding the ROM Manager from CWM sends my Phone into kernel panic. As this is quite hard to get a normal reboot again (even battery out for some time and back-in doesn't solve this) I really prefere to not use this option. As it is just frustrating and doesn't help.
And yes it is already rooted (I have SuperSU and I checked it with the "Root Checker"-App) Everything says it is rooted. I rooted it with that method: androidlegend.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-4x-hd-o4x-p880
Ah I really don't know what else to do. Is something just wrong with my device?
btw I also can't do a software update with the LG Software from there website, so I could at least go 4.1 instead of 4.0.3 atm...
When I try it that way, and install the USB-Drvier for LG P880 the SW-Update button stays grey and is unclickable even though the phone is connected.

To unlock the bootloader following either of the official methods requires you to be running v20x (The LG Stock v4.1 code) first, so that is why the commands are doing nothing for you.
For the moment, forget about CWM, Root, Bootloaders etc - the key thing is to get your phone working again. Can you reinstall stock v10x software following the guide on this page?

He might as well just flash JB with flashtool, saves him flashing ICS just to flash JB straight after

that would of been my next answer @SimonTS . A while back a flashed something on my phone and it got stuck at the lg bootup picture what I had to do was re-install original firmware ( through KDZ files) to get my phone working. I would try the link @SimonTS suggested .

Indeed - sorry, having a slightly dense day and was more thinking about getting him back to the stage at which his phone was working correctly before.

Thanks for that link, I tried it but that also didn't work (at least I guess so...)
I did everything like said at the link but at the last point the program (kdz_fw_upd.exe) crashes. Tried it 3 times, every time as administrator like mentioned in that forum post. I'm using Win 8 64bit btw...
Screenshot is in the attached .jpg. My system is japanese, but I think you can figure out what this kind of window means. It just says that the program isn't responding and needs to be shutdown.
I tried it like mentioned with putting the battery back in when the log starts and without putting it back in, in both cases the program crashes after a few seconds (~10 secs) when started.
Where do I actually see which V**x version is installed? If v10x or v20a? Surprisingly the LG Support Tool said I have v10H when the phone was still connected after the crash. And it offered me a SW-Update. But I haven't done that one yet, not sure if that would work correct...

man, what is your phone status now?
in what situation you are actually?

+1 this. Also, there have been many problems with running these apps using Windows 8, and you need to make sure you're not using a USB 3 port as they being other problems in to the equation.

Ok so I've flashed JB with the LG Updater (without batterie and volume down button pressed connecting to PC, than start the update -> meanwhile putting batterie back in)
JB worked just fine and I also don't had the problem with the kernel panic when booting with volume down and power button.
So I thought, everything fresh and also different, I might give the ROM Manager App again a try (after I rooted it that way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688 )...well, wasn't that smart. After I installed the Recovery for P880 in the ROM Manager, i made a normal boot (just for sure), back in the app, i wanted to go into Recovery mode and again kernel panic, bit different this time cause it does a shutdown after 5 seconds^^
Anyway, this way it didn't work, from now on I also couldn't go into safe mode anymore, same kernel panic.
As this kind of recovery doesn't seem to work, I tried the "old" way with the "LG 4X Recovery" I mentioned before. After recovery installation i just wanted to boot normal aaaand nothing happened. It stayed in the LG screen. Restart and anything didn't help here so I backed back to v10H with previous methods. Now I just got a security error saying "morning call is empty", no idea what that means but I just did the same method for JB again.
Worked afterwards, so I wanted to try it without ROM Manager Recovery installed and just LG 4X Recovery, (after rooted again of course) and it didn't boot again. Same game again.
So now I have JB installed, I'm going to root it now again, but I don't know what way I should go for doing the Recovery Part. I'm stuck on point 3 here
Any advices? btw thanks a lot until here, at least I made it half-way-through to JB now. Worst case I'd stay with that one at least.
I'm not entirely sure which threads you've been reading. Once you have the stock v20x ROM on your phone, just leave it alone for a few hours and make sure it is fully charged
After that, try to unlock the bootloader before doing anything else. If that works then you can worry about CWM and custom ROMs.

ok.
now i suppose you have a functional rooted JB 4.1.2 device.
from that you have to going on to rest of the steps to have CM installed on your device.so if it is not that (functional rooted JB device) is need to flash again JB and rooted again.
if you have the proper kdz file the tutorial for flasing is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
and the tutorial for rooting device is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688&highlight=root+jb+4+1+2+
after that make some reboot of device to verify that:
1. the device boot to system normaly a few times (just let the device boot itself)
2. the device enter in S/W Upgrade Mode (with the device off, put the USB cable in device and PC or in device and AC adapter and press VOL DOWN + POWER) a few times
3. the device boot in Stock Recovery (with the device off, press VOL DOWN + POWER) a few time.
if you can manage to do this tree steps a few times normaly then you have a fully functional device and we go to next step that is Custom Recovery
the chance to make this steps without errors is more big if you start from scratch meaning fully wipe the device and flashing stock LG software on the device.
so, let as know here when you are ready...

he should unlock bootloader before flashing custom recovery.
so, dont use rom manager before you unlock bootloader, that's why you get kernel panics.
This is an old unofficial version. Please go to THIS thread for the updated, official version.
All information below this line pertains to the old, unofficial version. Use the link above to get the official version.
Updated (v2) Slow recovery bootup fixed.
This is an unofficial version of CWM Advanced/PhilZ Touch recovery. Main thread located HERE. Go to the main thread to learn about all the features.
It uses the zImage and ramdisk provided by @ketut.kumajaya with a few tweaks to get it working made by myself.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for helping us out.
It takes a few seconds longer for CWM based recoveries to boot than the stock recovery, so be patient.
Credits go to:
@Phil3759 for the advanced features

If the on-screen menu doesn't show, hit one of the up/down buttons at the bottom to get it to appear. This is the same issue seen with CWM recovery and is caused by booting into recovery with the key combo. I highly recommend using the Quick Boot app or another software method of booting recovery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot.
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
11. To get the Internal SDcard to be recognized properly, choose the Advanced option; then touch the "Storage set to" option. It should change from "/data/media/0" to "data/media/". Then reboot recovery using the "Power Options".
I also recommend adjusting the Menu Height to a smaller value using the PhilZ settings option.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if the recovery doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
Instructions for recovery flashable version:
Boot into your previously installed custom recovery.
Select the Install Zip option.
Find the recovery zip.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.
Main Menu
Downloaded and installed. What i found so far is that it reacts little slow and the time in the status bar is gone in lockscreen.... After unlocking clock comes back in status bar.
Cant change GUI height correctly, all the time i touch GUI it increases the value only...

I'm not sure what you mean about the time. It is not supposed to be in the status bar on the lock screen, and that has nothing to do with this recovery.

In regards to it reacting slowly, since you complained about that with TWRP also, I believe that is a problem with your tablet. I can't imagine it working any faster on mine. Every selection is immediate.
Keep increasing the gui height until it goes to a lower value (around 100 it switches).

Some other users also experienced slow reaction with latest TWRP. I used TWRP 2.5.0.0 and speed and reaction was ok, on 2.6.xx reaction is slow...
Awesome job. Like how this is all coming together slowly for this tablet...

Hi, i have a t217A tab 3 7.0 and it has a msm8960 cpu not the msm8930 you mentioed earlier, which shows up under cpuz as a Krait 1.73 gighz
when i boot to recovery it says encrypted and the flash fails. im guessing i need a diffrent version. is there a current build for the touch screen recovery for this version already made and in place ? if so could someone link me ?
and i had a q , you mention that this should be flashed via already flashed recovery , is this mandatory or can i flash the touch version via odin straight away ? do i need to flash the regular non touch recovery then flash the touch or can i get away with directly flashing the touch recovery without first flashing the non touch?
I have rooted already , the method on this forum worked for the t217A
thanks

No , it has msm8930 it will still show as 8960 it's a qcom thing. Also this isn't for your device.
If anyone needs help or advice, then post in this thread. I own this device and I have tried everything and I'll use that knowledge to those who need help. I am currently working on a Cyanogenmod rom for this device.

Spread your SM-T350 knowledge in this thread too if you can.

i'm new to this forum, but I've received an OTA update or maybe 4 updates and I'm wondering if I should take them? I just got this tab and it has T350XXU1BPE3 Marshmallow on it already. I would like to Root this and perhaps put a ROM on it, but I'm concerned about Samsung Locking the bootloader and keeping me from doing that.
The new updates are:
T350XXU1BPE3, T350XAR1BPE3, T350XXU1BPI2 & T350XAR1BPI1
Also, how do I root it and are there any good ROMs built for it?

DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
Ok, T350XXU1BPE3 is the XAR version. But anyways, you said you want to root it. There is no unlock bootloaders for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.
If you haven't, go to Settings > About Device > Build Number (tap it 7 times until it says Developer Mode)
You will see the Developer Mode settings on the settings bar. Click on that and CheckMark the USB debugging mode.
First: Go to this link and download TWRP for SM-T350 (Lollipop version of TWRP is better than the updated Marshmallow version of TWRP. The Marshmallow version of TWRP has many unsolved bugs.)
Flash this via ODIN. Download ODIN
Turn off your Samsung Device and then go to Download mode (Vol. Down + Power + Home Button) then plug in the USB to PC and the device. ODIN will say, Device Added! Press AP slot and find the TWRP file. Then press Start. It should say RESET OK! Then your device should reboot. If it says failed, REPLY BACK TO ME. These are the methods I have done it and it works awesomely.
Second: Download SuperSU
If you've downloaded the file from the PC transfer the file to any desired folder you want. (Ex: Downloads, Music, etc.)
If you've downloaded the file from the Tablet itself, you should be able to find the file in the downloads section, unless you changed the download file destination.
So turn off your device then go to Recovery Mode (Vol. Up + Power + Home Button) [Don't get mixed up with Download mode!!!]
Then, press the Install slot and locate the SuperSU file from your desired location and press the file. It should say, Do You Want To Flash This File? Swipe right to flash the file. After installing, don't Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Reboot Device. If TWRP asks you to install TWRP DON'T LET IT!!!
Your device should now reboot.
Congrats you have Root.
Reply back to me if you want a Permissive Kernel so you could use and download ViPER4Android for Music FX, and etc.
If you want to know how to install Xposed (for modules such as Youtube Background) reply back to me also. I have a SM-T350 and I would be appreciated to help you and others.
If you want a custom rom for this Tablet, reply back to me also.
I am making a Cyanogenmod for SM-T350, so hitting that Thanks button will contribute me to working harder for all of you guys.
Hit the Thanks button if I have helped you and others!!!

Wow! Thanks for all the detail! For future reference I have and know how to use Odin, ADB/Fastboot, etc. But I really appreciate your help! I don't have time tonight to do this, But I will on Wednesday and will get my Tab rooted with TWRP installed.
Just curious, is the CM your building Nougat by chance? That would be just too cool!
Thanks again!

The CM rom should be based on Nougat. Also I would be porting the rom, so not really creating. Glad I helped! If you need any more help, just feel free to ask, that's what this thread is here for.
Those who need a [UNOFFICIAL] Rom for SM-T350. This is highly experimental and is under process of developing.
EVERVOLV (Not maintained by me but by @elginsk8r): http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...volv-galaxy-tab-sm-t350-t3411150#post67607709
Description: It is based on the AOSP project and it is running on a pretty much a Pure-Android experience.
TWRP for SM-T350: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-t3426560
Download Lollipop version of TWRP because it works with Third-Party apps.
The Marshmallow version of TWRP is under development by @ashyx and is also not compatible with Third-Party apps yet.
Have you ever heard of ViPER4Android? In order to run with the best features, then you will need a Permissive Kernel. SeLinux Changer doesn't work with Samsung Marshmallow. (It worked with Lollipop though) In order to get a Permissive Kernel for SM-T350 go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/kernel-galaxy-tab-sm-t555-5-8-2016-t3433560
It is not developed by me, I just put links that will be useful for SM-T350 users, but it was created by @ashyx. Flash it through ODIN!
Happy Flashing! (Please flash it after flashing TWRP if you haven't done so. Also, use the AP slot and choose the .tar file. If it is not extracted from .zip or some other file, extract it, if it's not a .tar)

I, currently am working on a Nougat build which will be Cyanogenmod or maybe, I will make a new OS called AnKore (Korean if you move the An to the back of Kore, cause I am South Korean).
Anyways, good luck in the Android World now!

Under progress, I have a lot of tests and quizzes for schools, stacked with homework too, so the project will be held back and probably will be finished by the end of February or during the summer. I am working very hard and I am putting more features than the original Cyanogen roms. I will announce after I finish.
@Xdevillived666
The status of the rom is:
Camera working
Themes are working sometimes and sometimes not
Home button is sometimes responsive
NavBar support
ViPER4Android working well (I don't like AudioFX that much)
Screen works perfectly, meaning it's responsive
Lag issues
Game rendering
Spoofing Google Play Store so you can install applications that are incompatible
Nougat Version AOSP, meaning untouched by any bloatware from Samsung
Gallery is unresponsive because of framework
Camera runs smoothly, but may need more options for photography
More to be added! This is just what is in my mind.
I followed the steps in the post above about rooting, but something isn't working correctly.
I installed Odin and flashed the tar file for TWRP. When I reboot into recovery (holding home, power, and up) I get the standard android recovery. I tried to flash the SuperSU file from there just in case and it fails with an invalid signature.
Is there something I missed along the way? I've flashed things with Odin before and didn't really see anything here that seems any different. The flashing in Odin was all boilerplate, passed and saw "RES OK" and the device rebooted.
My tablet is fine, but I can't installed SuperSU!
Thanks in advance.

In Files > PDA > select twrp-3.6.0_9-0-klte.img.tar
### Or klteduos
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
When Success green message appears, hold Power button for 10 seconds to shutdown phone.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
Boot in Recovery Mode: Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot.
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Backup > you can select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Modem, Boot, System and EFS.
Now type Select Storage > Select Micro SD card and confirm with OK
Now Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
Go to Wipe > Format Data
Type yes and confirm with bottom right icon.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup from step 2), Cache, then Swipe to Wipe,
then back.
### Don't select microSD or you will lose your backup
6) FLASH ROM, GAPPS and MAGISK ROOT
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
(Optional) then Add more Zips > Magisk*.zip,
### If you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active.
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Go to Reboot > Recovery.
Back to Install > gapps*.zip.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
### Don't connect to your Google account before setting up root.
7) EXTRA
Back to Android, open the Settings menu > About Phone.
Tap on the "Build number" entry seven times. You are notified that developer settings are now active.
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options,
Set Animations and transition scales to x 0,5.
If Netflix or Disney+ are not accessible from the Play Store, use Aurora Store (available in my pack).
### If you experience too many problems, uninstall Magisk from the app.
8) STORE YOUR BACKUP IN A SAFE PLACE
Connect phone or microSD to PC.
Open microSD folder and backup TWRP folder to a safe place.
Youe /efs partition is now safe (+/- other partitions if you need to fix some crashes)
Enjoy,
djibe

You may have to flash again the ROM.

hello everyone I noticed that to recharge the battery it takes a long time with the phone off, while with the phone on it can't recharge, does it do it to you too?

once OEM unlock option is activated, Samsung phones are totally flashable.
Go ahead !

Thank you.

Hi thank you for your response and Thank you for the detailed information. I was able to get a Samsung Galaxy S5 - SM-G900W8 to Android 11. I wasn't able to root it, but I think okay without rooting. I mainly needed a newer OS on this device to a few apps compatibility.
When I first looked into upgrading the OS, I got stuck in trying to unlock the boot loader as Fastboot just wasn't seeing the device. ADB would see it, but fastboot commands wouldn't work. I then came across this post and gave it a shot which worked out for me.
Being a newbie and getting to this stage with all your help...feels great!...
Thank you all!

Hi,
Samsung devices are great because of Download mode. You nearly cannot hard brick it.
With Samsung, you don't need fastboot and adb things.
Just use Odin and TWRP
Enjoy
