G901F TWRP and CM13 install/flash help needed - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F) and after some research I wanted to install TWRP and CM 13, I downloaded G901F_TWRP_v2.8.5.0.tar from here because I thought that was the one I needed to flash but Odin says "Can't open the specified line. (Line 2012) I noticed that TWRP 3.0 is also released so don't know which one to pick which works and also don't know which CM 13 to pick to install, I'm not really good at these things so I'm looking for someone who can help me through everything step by step so I have it running smoothly and don't mess up or brick my phone, at the moment I have rooted my phone and am using the stock firmware from Samsung itself. Hopefully someone can help me with this?
Thank you in advance

Okay, first we will need some information
The model of your galaxy S7 edge:
Do you already have a custom recovery?
What have you tried?
And what custom rom do you want (i recommend cyanogenmod rom)
Is required to root for this?
I got samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-G935f Global, universal 8890, exynos. I installed custom recovery and I don't think is for the international version, I think I got international version, basically i installed the custom recovery with ordin and I rooted it as well, buy uploading 2 files and it was rooted fine. I liked some roms like kingrom and other one I thinking superman rom, but in the both situations the phone won't boot fully, just stuck and keeping booting and turned off again, and booting. But didn't boot fully, and get the welcome screen. And is getting hot as well, now I did back up and I don't want the original rom, any help plz what should I do.

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Modem Baseband flash with Odin

Hello guys,
I am verry sorry to bother you with this, but I am just to dumb for this part.
I am quite familiar with the whole custom rom business but I try to fix my mothers phone where I installed a Cyanogenmod custom rom (12.1) some time ago.
She experiences some mobile network issues which, I guess, are related to a old baseband / modem version causing troubles.
Can you tell me which version is the right one to flash via Odin or preferably via twrp?
I plan on updating it before installing the lastest 12.1 CM snapshot.
I believe she has the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International with LTE and Snapdragon processor.
Under baseband version ("About the phone") it says I9505XXUEML6.
(I dont know if this is correct I can remember that I once installed a Google Play Edition Rom to get rid of the bloatware).
The phone was bought in Germany.
I know that you guys are probably busy with more important stuff but I'd really appreciate it if you could quickly help me with that.
Have a great day.
Thank you in advance.
Update: I got the files, changed the cable Odin passed but no version change!
Update 2:
Manually going into fastboot instead of using the reboot menu did it! Thank you so much. (Maybe add that info to the guide to avoid similar problems with othe people)
Thumbs up & good night!

Help with a troubled Tab 4 7.0! (Downgrade & QA)

Hi community I just need help to figure out what to do with my Tab 4 7.0 the history begins this way:
I get this Tablet already used not brand new it looked to have Android Lollipop 5.1.1 when I got it and didn't appear suspicious and lend it to one of my kids, the problem begins after some time the Tablet didn't connect to the Play Store anymore proly because my kids was trying to root it via KingoRoot or other apps to mess with some games, so after that I decided to solve the problem doing a Hard Reset but it didn't work, the tablet still can't connect to the PlayStore via RH-01 error message.
So I decided to flash it with the official stockl rom from Samsung, my BIG surprise is that this Tablet never get Lollipop 5.1.1 it didn't ever get Lollipop at all accordingly to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-galaxy-tab-4-official-lollipop-5-t3102844
Because my tablet is the SM-T230NU (the model accordingly to the box is SM-T230NYKAXAR) model and that model never gets LL, so I figure it out this was a modified rom? Even in the Info about the device over settings it says the model of the device i "Nexus 5" instead of Tab 4 or whatever Samsung call this device but not Nexus 5 that is a phone from LG.
So I stopped here, because I've heard it can be dangerous to Downgrade Android versions? If not what should I do? Use Odin3 and flash the rom mentioned in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-stock-galaxy-tab-4-firmware-t3013128
For the T230NU USA variant? Hope u can advice me about what to do and give some tips because this will be my first flash on a device.
Thanks in advance! :laugh::good:
They probably flashed a custom rom with broken GAPPS, just restore with Odin and the official rom.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By restore u mean flash it with some of the roms provided in this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...mware-t3013128
So there's no problem if I have 5.1.1 right now and get down to 4.2 as is the official one?

Phone couldn't find .md5

Hello guys,
I lost whole my day to try to flash new rom into my S3 Neo. There were a lot of trouble and I still can not flash it. I root my phone(I guess). And in those builds, the phone and Odin 3 couldn't find .md5 file which is needed for flashing new rom. All my trouble starts because I should use for work app which couldn't support with Android 4... And I decide to upgrade it with some newer custom. Could you please help me to come back into live my phone because I delete even old original rom at my phone and now it is not working at all. It is starting just bootloader.
I'll very appreciate your helpings.

Which version of GApps?

Greetings everyone. I have downloaded lineage-18.1-20211121-UNOFFICIAL-trlte which I intend to install on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910T). I have already rooted and installed TWRP. I believe the only thing I am missing is GAaps. Apparently, there are more than one version. I need help determining which version I need and where to download it. It's been many years since I've done this, and some things have changed. It appears that I can flash from within TWRP. The last time I did this, we used Odin. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
--Jim
