Installed CM 14.1 but OS is still TouchWiz is there! HELP!

Hello Guys!
I tried to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 using this thread, as I Wiped my device and installed the CM zip
This showed and the device restarted.....
As I have already factory reset the device, the device restarted as TouchWiz.
Help me! I can't install the CM 14.1.

Before doing this
There is some things u should do:
1- root your device (via odin)
2-install the latest custom recovery" TWRP "
It is a flashable zip you should flash it from here
3 - via this recovery you should flash that rom (CM14.1)
And u will be fine

1- my device is not recognized by windows.
2-it is not supported by TWRP.

Dear...i missed some thing . On your computer install Samsung usb drivers
It should make it work on odin?
....if you want to flash something via odin (you should enter download mode on your mobile by switching it off then pressing volume down+power button at the same time

Your device is grand 2 (sm-g7102) right?
---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
The first thing..is to root your device via odin
Then flashing recovery (TWRP)
then flashing your preferred rom via TWRP
#Grand_2_is_supported by twrp search in this forum threads for the recovery

On odin on computer
For rooting Check ✔ for( auto rebbot and F.time rest)

okay sir!
i have download the driver but it is still not recognized
But the device is now in this condition

and TWRP does not support grand 2......

Not possible i had twrp on my g2 7102 and I've also installed cm14.1...bro u need to root on any conditions and thats stock recovery u can't install something with that..!!
Have root install recovery then flash...and as ur pc isn't recognizing get ur frnds pc or take someone do that its a simple 10min process to root and to install recovery!
Word of advice: AFTER ROOTING INSTALL RECOVERY WITH THE HELP OF RASHR (flashing tool)
You will get it on playstore and Google an IMG. file for flashing.
Tell me when ur done.

Its already rooted but I did it using Kingo root and if its not right then give another way.
And my device does not get recognized by any pc. I tried it on HP, Compaq, Dell, Lenovo, iMac but it didn't worked.
Please dont give a method with pc involved!

Try changing usb cable?
.
.
That situation of mobile is right
After u make ur device enter that download mode
Put the usb on it
---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------
If u installed the driver then
Check that odin in the latest version
And when you open odin app
And insert usb on ur mobile
You will get something on app interface
---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------
The thing is like
COM:9 and some thing like that....
.....man dont search for twrp on google
Open XDa forum and search in it
Or search on google" SM-g7012 TWRP XDa"

I installed the drivers but still it is not recognized and according to this thread I tried to install the TWPR recovery and guess what.....I cant do it coz my device is not recogzied by pc.
i tried changing wire, i tried changing pc but it does not work.
And the the TWRP recovery given in the link above is not right. It have a .dll file and .exe file which can not be used for a mobile phone.

Again i will say the instructions:
1-files should be downloaded are:
odin program for computer
Samsung usb drivers
TWRP for mobile
(You said you have rooted your mobile?? If correct then try installing TWRP from google play maybe it has the recovery) and i will search for the correct link if the twrp apk didn't work
2. Follow these carfully.........
after install odin and Samsung usb drivers on computer...#open odin app
Then put your mobile in download mode
Then connect it to usb
It should be recognised☺ if not (maybe there is a problem with your mobile)

Mmmm: maybe that because you root your device without odin..maybe
..i think the problem is with your usb (or your mobile usb ic)
Try installing another odin?

If odin works
Download this zip
https://download.chainfire.eu/400/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-ms013g-ms013gxx-smg7102.zip?retrieve_file=1
Unzip (decompress) it and put the file from the zip
in PDA(AP) button on odin
connect your mobile on download mode
Then press start

Let me tell you that I have already downloaded and installed the Driver and Odin.
Probably the problem is with me device's USB IC as it does not connects with any any PC.
My PC still can't recognize it. Suggest a way without PC if possible.
Thanks for your help.

Try gently cleaning it with something soft
Don't break any thing

Ohh that's sad, should I go to any service center to get it checked?
Or just some cleaning would be okay?

Requesting boot.img from December update

Hi, I have nougat with magisk December update, and I'm trying since 2 days to update it to the latest version (can't install the 60 MB update, probably cause magisk) so I'm looking for a clean boot.img in order to flash it in recovery (my magisk boot.img backup is screwed)
Thanks

http://en.miui.com/download-333.html

Should I really extract 3gb just for a boot.img?

Can't download the while update right now, if anyone got it please upload and send us a link! It'll be much appreciated

Well, not exactly. You can browse through the zip. It should be there inside some folder. Send me a link to it, I too need it!
But yes you have to download the whole update to get the boot.img

Ok, extracted the boot.img, flashed using twrp image flash (selected boot) and bootloop. Gotta lose some data now...

Use MiFlash tool to flash the update!
You'll not lose your data!

Use MiFlash! Check out the tutorial for it, it's not that hard. Plus, you get to keep your data!

I cant seem to find the update anywhere..

Dude you just downloaded it, didn't you?

Yeah but its the full rom, will it reset my data?

Not if you use the MiFlash tool. It's for windows. Download it, install it to your windows machine. Search for its guide, its not that hard to follow!

Thanks a lot guys, I flashed system with mi flash and I did not lost data, I'm also finally installing the update. One last question: Now that system is reflashed, does that mean that it is completely stock? I mean, are boot.img from slots a and b totally stock?

Flash stock rom whith MI tool flash

You are flashing/installing twrp in the wrong partition. Huawei changed name of the default recovery partition. Do some research bcz I forgot the new name for cmd command to flash.. (I think it's recovery_ramdisk.img or something similar instead of recovery.img)

I'm very curious.. Magisk was working but without any module support due to oem kernel restrictions. Can you tell how Xposed is faring with regard to this? Do modules work properly or do you get any bootloop?

Error 7, only on slot B? Help

So i was flashing the stock rom to both A/B before flashing a custom rom, and successfully flashed oxygen then twrp installer to slot A, rebooted to recovery, but then when I tried to do it to slot B, i get this error 7 message. Ive looked around and can't seem to find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated

What versions? What ROM? International 6T or TMobile?
Error 7 generally means the ROM is not compatible with that device. If you are sure it is you can remove this check if you know what you are doing. However this is generally not recommended.

Yes

What version of TWRP? Error 7 means most of the time that TWRP is to old to deal with the ROM flash script. Flash latest twrp 3.3.1-31 installer again and reboot to recovery

Problems with LineageOS on Verizon, where do I go from here?

Hello, I have been trying to fix this oddly specific issue with my Moto G7 running LineageOS. I can make and receive calls fine, but I have issues receiving texts. I can send them, but replies are delayed from a few minutes to an hour or two. I am unsure of why this has happened, but I remember trying to install LineageOS for Micro G and noticing this after. However, I didn't happen to be texting much before this, so it may not be relevant.
Anyways, I went to Verizon twice and they confirmed there was no issue with the sim card. However, when they tried replacing it, the system didn't recognize it at all and it couldn't even make a phone call.
I am honestly stuck and I do not know where to go from here. I've tried finding stock firmware but the issue persists after flashing what I THINK is the correct firmware and reinstalling. I really don't want to have to pay for a new phone (one that would likely be way more expensive than this one), so please give me anything I could work with.

Go back to stock 10, make calls and texts (including MMS), and then twrp, los17.1, gapps, root and start over
What's your phone model?

May have to erase modem partitions and then reinstall stock 10 using "adb shell" command while in fastboot mode:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

I have the same model, I'll try your solution now.

After installing the firmware, my device does not boot and stays on the unlocked bootloader warning. I can easily reinstall LineageOS, but my issue still persists.

Do you mean that stock 10 won't boot? Any errors while installing stock 10? Which batch file did u use to automate all the fastboot commands?

Fastboot batch file
Unzip for bat file, put file in adb folder which should have all the files of stock ROM zip file that's been unzipped, and run it at dos prompt

Okay I went back to stock and found that the issue was not present. I shall report this to the LineageOS devs or something. Is there anything else this could possibly be?
