Cannot flash Custom Rom on SM-N9005 Help please

Hello everyone,
last night I was toying with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) European Edition and I succesfully rooted the phone and installed Super SU.
Super SU was upgraded automatically via TWPR.
Tried to Flash Darkwolf Note7 rom for Note3.
Installation starts, but once it begines I get an error about wrong footer and the progress bar stops.
So I went back, used Odin again, changed from TWRP to CWM tried to flash again the same Rom got verification of zip file failed.
Downloaded RessurectionRom with 6.0.1 for note 3, same issue.
Went back again, changed from CWM to TWRP once more, same issue.
Installation fails
Ultimately had to recover the ROM that I had backed up.
Not sure what the problem is?
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.

Read the roms OP a guess is you are using the wrong version of TWRP .
TWRP recovery recommended, 2.8.7.0. Newer versions are not supported

Ι don't think that the issue mate.
I downloaded exactly what I should have according to their site and the tutorial I follow.
Furthermore CWM has a dedicated CWM for note 9005 which again was unable to complete the installation.
So any other thoughts?

This is most likely due to the unsupported version of twrp you are using as darkwolf ported roms uses aroma/pico installer. Use below v3 like 2.8 you should be able to launch aroma installer.
REMEMBER TO FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL OR IT WILL NOT BOOT ONCE YOU FINISH FLASHING THE DARKWOLF ROM AS DARKWOLF ROMS DONT HAVE ANY KERNEL INCLUDED.
I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it:laugh:
I highly recommend you not to use note 7 darkwolf rom as your daily driver... features are really good but in actuall fact heats up like mad and drains battery very well
If there's still problems after trying my methods out please let me know i will give a full tutorial on how to install the DARKWOLF ROM on youtube
Cheers!

That by the way is a closed thread by the mods on xda .

Hi guys, thank you for your replies.
But to b honest I am a bit of a novice. I just checked some tutorial videos and I though FUN let's sprush up the NOTE 3....
So I do not know how to proceed??

Let's see if I can help you with at least installing a CM12.1 on the n9005. Once you can successfully install CM12.1, you'll have a basic working knowledge of flashing.
Download the latest tar version of TWRP for the n9005 from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3internationalqualcomm.html
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.133178914,d.amc
Download the latest cm12.1 for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Download the latest ARM version of gapps for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: http://opengapps.org/
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time.
Make sure CM12.1 and gapps are either on a micro SD card or the phone's internal memory. If CM12.1 and gapps are on a micro SD card, insert the card into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode, connect the phone to the computer, flash TWRP in the PDA slot. When you see the word "reset" in the status window remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination (home, volume up, power) to boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.
Once you are in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, install CM12.1, install gapps, and reboot.

Android N Permanent VoLTE Fix. 10000% Working Solution.

Hello,
Just Wanted To Give A Straight Forward Solution For VoLTE Fix In Android N ROMs.
So, Here U Go.

2. Download This TWRP (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6qi9i0uOR-BYnpaendYQ1BBRFE)

5. Download This ROM Too (https://sourceforge.net/projects/re...N-v5.8.0-20170114-kenzo-Nightly.zip/download)
1. Now, Unlock Your Bootloader, Officially Or Unofficially, I Don't Give A **** For That.
2. Flash TWRP (Step 2) Using Fastboot Or Using Existing TWRP.
3. Wipe Everything Except Ur Internal And External Storage And Flash MiUI 6.11.3 (Step 1) Using Just Flashed TWRP And After Flashing It Go To Install Again And See In Root Directory, There Will Be A Folder Named "Flash_Folder" Go Inside It And Flash Lazy Flasher. Don't Bother For Bootloader Locking, This TWRP Will Knock It Off.
4. Now Start The Device, And When On Setup Screen, See There Will Be VoLTE (That's Normal For MIUI) Be There For 5 Minutes (Complete Setup Or Not, I Don't Give A **** For That Too).
5. Now Switch Off Your Phone, Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik And Flash The Firmware (Step 3).
6. Just After Flashing Firmware, Flash The ROM (Step 4), Its RR 26/11 Version Remember.
7. Start The Device, Voila You Got VoLTE.
8. Now Get Back To TWRP And Dirty Flash Latest RR (Until Now Latest RR Link Is Given On Step 5) Without Wiping Anything.
9. Flash Pico GApps 7.1 arm64 (Cmon U Know Link Of This).
10. Enjoy.
NOTE : You Can Now Wipe Everything And Flash Any Nougat ROM.

Hi OP & alls. Can i use this for Kate?

[Q] [HELP] I did a mistake while rooting

Hello,
I need your help because I did an error while rooting my U Play.
I've successfully unlocked my bootloader, and then I flashed the twrp recovery, installed the supersu zip, and I was pretty much tired and now I'm not sure of what I've done but I'm left with a phone with access to download mode, bootloader mode and custom recovery, but no rom on the phone.
I am on a single sim europe, with Orange 1.30.89.6
I've tried to flash an europe rom but I got this message "cid mismatched", because it was a non orange rom I assume.
Now, I've no rom to flash, no backup. And no idea how to get a rom.
Can you please help me to find a rom and a guide to finish to root my phone then please ?
My girlfriend have exactly the same phone than me, stock everythning. I don't know if it is possible to "extract" her stock rom...

First of all, you should do backup before flashing any third-party zip, rom etc, it is a common sense.
I'll upload a stock image backup [Orange, 1.30.89.6] for you, please flash separate .img file through TWRP recovery, you can follow this guide.
https://htcfz.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/htc-flash-rom-twrp-img/
In last, I suggest that use Magisk to get root access for HTC U Play.

Thx, that gives me some hope that at least one can root the device.

Is there root for t817p? On nougat?

I didn't see any threads with this model

I'm on NOUGAT. Official build stock. Simple root same as always,
1. Developer options - own unlock
2 Download mode - flash TWRP 3.2.1
3. TWRP recovery - flash Magisk 16
Profit!
SM- T817
Btw u can flash unbranded FW XAS variant for Sprint, or 817R4 for all other carriershttps://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=6923350DAEEC11E7963AFA163EE8F90B

@beatbreakee Does it work for the AT&T (T817A) too?
And by the flash you mean, is it through Odin? I'm so scared that if i flash the wrong TWRP, it will get brick (because as long as i know, T817 is different with T817A)

And by the Own unlock, is that a typo? Was it OEM unlock?
And can i also flash T817's ROM ((such as Lineage) to T817A?
Thanks so much before! I'm hoping for your answer

Yes .. sorry it took so long I must have notifications turned off. And yes I meant OEM UNLOCK. (Autocorrect must have gotten me). And yes use Odin to flash TWRP, then use TWRP to flash Magisk. Here's what I have .. mine is an SM-T817P but this TWRP will work for all the 817 models, here's a link from Team Win website.
https://dl.twrp.me/gts210velte/twrp-3.2.1-0-gts210velte.img.tar.html
And then just Flash MAGISK 16.0 from here.
http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
I take no credit for creation or discovery of these files. I had help from a few developers here when I needed it regarding my tab. I'm sure u will be fine, just make sure you double check 3 things.
1. Make sure OEM unlock is turned on in developer options
2. Make sure you flash the TWRP using Odin 3.07 (I used)
3. Uncheck AUTO REBOOT in Odin options. (This is important because on initial reboot you have to reboot into recovery 1st, otherwise the stock Rom will erase TWRP and go back to stock.)
MAKE SURE WHEN U FINISH THE TWRP FLASH, THAT YOU DO A HARD REBOOT, AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY AT LEAST 1 TIME BEFORE YOU LET YOUR STOCK ROM RUN. THIS WILL ENSURE TWRP STAYS INSTALLED.
Take care

OTA update on unlocked and rooted device

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you

Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).

Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware

Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone

So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2432115-1-0.html
What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip

Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

If you do an update there should be no data loss however it is always recommended to have a backup of your data
