So Phone model : a500F
Previous version 5.0.2
Rooted
TWRP 3.0.0.1
I tried flashing many roms like Aryamod, Ressurection remix ( both N & M ) and Lineage OS
The only on that flashed successfully is Lineage but when I try to reboot it restarts back to TWRP
The other roms doesn't flash as it gives Error 7
Any ideas ?
Try v 3.0.2.1. Also go to specific thread and read this has a solution and I think there is no need to create a separate thread for that. There is even a zip that you can flash to get out of the twrp loop as I would call it.
Hi, I recently installed the lineage 14.1 os and Gapps on my phone but now I'm having trouble rooting it. I tried rooting it with Kingoroot but it reboots on 90%. So I googled it and apparently I need to flash the SuperSU zip file. So I rebooted in recovery and tried flashing the zip. It didn't want to flash at first because the zip verivication was on so I turned it off and the flash said successful. But it didn't work. Can someone help me rooting my phone?

Lineage os is prerooted you can enable root from developer settings
I tried all methods which are there on site but each time same and only problem is coming that is my phone is not getting rooted correctly I tried so many times but when I'll check with root checker it says it's not rooted but I successfully unlocked bootloader but I can't complely root it, can someone help me?
What device do you have and what ROM are you running?
If you're rooting on the stock Motorola ROM, do you have TWRP flashed/booted, then flashed ElementalX? Afterwards, what root managers are you using? You could try magisk 16 or 15.3. However, if you've previously used SuperSU or another root manager, you may have to re-flash the original stock kernel (then flash ElementalX then root) to remove any remainders of the old root managers, else they may interfere with magisk to the point of the root not being stable.
I have Moto g4 plus XT 1643 and I tried to root with by using twrp latest version and lineage os 14.1 athene. The was working fine but my phone is still showing that this device is not rooted

What root manager are you using? The official Lineage OS (as of Jan 2017) does not come with a root manager, you must download and flash your own. You could either use the Lineage_SU_addon (you'd want the arm variant for 14.1) or magisk or SuperSU as a root manager.

1)Download the Lineage SU addon (from here https://download.lineageos.org/extras - you want the arm 14.1 zip) OR magisk (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 ) Only download one, please and if you want to switch, you ideally want to restore your backup or dirty flash the custom ROM to restore the Lineage kernel.
2)Reboot your device to TWRP.
3)In TWRP backup your device. Keep this backup safe.
4)In TWRP, go to 'Install' and flash the package you downloaded.
5)Wipe cache and Dalvik in TWRP after the flash.
6)Reboot.
7)Verify you have root.

Thank you bro i finally rooted my device correctly . It help alot thank you once again
Hi I'm new to XDA Forums, I was searching for posts about rooting my Moto g4 Plus. I would like to know Why we should flash a kernel before flashing SuperSU or Magisk ? Nb: I just only want the root access. Not in a plan to flash a custom rom. Thanks in Advance.

The stock Motorola kernel in stock Nougat ROMs appears to have anti rooting measures included (I think DM Verity?) If you attempt to root on this stock Nougat kernel, you'll likely soft brick/bootloop your device.
A custom kernel (e.g. elementalX v2.0.1 for stock) does not have these anti rooting defences, so it's safer to root with magisk. I would recommend magisk as super SU hasn't been updated in some time.
It appears that this need to flash a custom kernel before rooting applies to Nougat stock ROMs; marshmallow stock ROMs and the Oreo soak test stock ROM appear not to require a custom kernel.
As an aside, custom kernels and root are not necessary to flash custom ROMs. The only tools you require are an unlocked bootloader and the correct TWRP. The kernels included with these custom ROMs may also have anti rooting measures disabled, so it's safer to directly root without having to use a custom kernel.
SOLVED: TWRP 3.0.3 uploaded by sub77 on androidfilehost doesn't properly recognize devices. I flashed the older 3.0.2-8 and it works fine and let me able to flash matisselte rom. Anyway, I flashed crdroid but It's stuck on boot animation.
Hello everybody,
I recently bought a secondhand Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T535. It has the android stock rom 5.2 and I wanted to flash a CM or any custom rom to speed it up a bit and remove all pre-installed apps. I did flash TWRP through Odin and it works fine, then I copied Gapps for 7.1 pico versión and crDroid custom rom based on LineageOS 14.1 and nougat 7.1 for matisselte aka Tab 4 SM-T535. I followed instructions (that are pretty the same for every custom rom) so I wiped dalvik, cache, system and data, then I flashed (tried to) crDroid 14.1 zip and... TWRP says something like: unable to flash zip, it is for device matisselte but this is matissewifi. Wtf?! So, ok. I thought I'm blind and I got the wrong version, I downloaded the matissewifi version, tried to flash again and it did flash. Then I flashed Gapps and rebooted, now it goes directly in download mode and says Could not boot normally... What is happening? I also tried CM 14.1 for matissewifi, it flashes but can't boot and I'm unable to flash the matisselte version. Why?
it is for sure the LTE tablet, I read it in settings and info in the android stock rom and it has a sim slot, so it can't be the wifi one.
Thank you in advance for any reply. Let me know if you need more informations. Thanks.
P. S. I already searched in the forum and didn't find any similar case.
Hi,
has anybody found a solution...?
seen too late.....

So glad you posted this because I had failed in all my attempts and had tried a few TWRP versions but not that one, which worked perfectly with Lineage 14.1.
Hi Guys,
Couple days ago I flashed TWRP and unlocked my bootloader on my Axon 7 US version A2017U. My main reason was to install Lineage OS 15.1 but I get an Error 7 installing the official OS from Lineage website ( nightly latest version ). Then I tried using the Unofficial version and it worked. I had some glitches after install so I went back to New ZTE Official Oreo SD card installation.
I want to remove TWRP and lock my bootloader. My device shows un-rooted but because I have TWRP and bootloader in unlocked I can't download Netflix ( just an example ). I tried Draken's Bootstock zip and Stocksystem zip but after flashing those two my phone shows no OS installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm talking to experts so I hope someone will find a minute to help.
