Hi all. I am going to buy a s8 plus with oreo. i have read the guides here on xda and i am still a bit confused so what i'd do is just what i did with s6:
1. flash twrp with odin
2. reboot and flash magisk
Is it ok?
And, if i wnat to install a custom kernel or rom, just reflash magisk after that. Correct?

Hello, I am new to this rooting and flashing stuff on the Samsung Galaxy s4 4G, and i just wanted to know how i can flash a 5.X.X custom rom from the stock 4.4.2 rom from the very beginning.
It would be nice if someone could post a link to a tutorial or something i can follow to flash my phone.
I have read some of the guides but i cannot understand what to do as the instructions seem to advanced.
Thank you
First you need a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP. Just google TWRP S4 and it will take you to the S4 section. There you have the download link and some install instructions. I recommend using the Odin method.
Then you need Odin. Odin 3.09 or 3.10 works. Sorry I cannot post links, I'm on mobile and it's pretty tricky getting everything together.
Flashing a custom recovery or rom is pretty much the same for all S4 models (with a few exceptions).
Installing the recovery is the most difficult part if you're a beginner. Installing the custom rom is as simple as selecting it and confirming the procedure.
Can i install TRWP recovery without rooting my phone?
Currently i have updated to the stock 5.0.1 rom and am trying to root my phone to install the custom recovery.
TWRP 2.8.6.0 is available as a tar file flashable through Odin without rooting. From there, upgrade to 2.8.7.0.
So is root required to flash a custom rom? Or can i just flash a TWRP recovery then flash the custom rom from there?
Thank you
Edit: Thank you for your help i have figured it out

Nope it doesn't require root, u can just go ahead and flash ur custom rom
I mean a root for the android 6.0.1 version. All I can find is for android 5
sorry if I miss something, still kinda new to this
Not really. CF-Auto-Root was made when 5.0 was on the phones, and the ones behind it haven't made it for 6.0 (and I doubt they will). You can always downgrade, and then use CF-Auto-Root, or just flash TWRP, and then flash SuperSU. The procedure of flashing TWRP, is the same as flashing CF-Auto-Root.

Thank you so much for the answer, I will try to flash TWRP then, will update the thread
edit: I don't think TWRP supports samsung galaxy a3, cant find the device in their devices list
Edit 2: Nevermind, my phone is rooted thanks to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/how-root-sm-a300fu-6-0-1-t3486970
Hi, newbie question here. I just got my Axon 7. Unlocked the bootloader. Installed TWRP. Made full nandroids of stock and rooted firmwares.
I would like to flash the new Nougat update. What would be the best way to accomplish this without losing TWRP? and what is the correct firmware to use? ota? Also can nougat be rooted? Just dont want to brick my new phone. Thanks
No TWRP flashable file yet.....but I'm sure it'll be soon.
You will need to be on the Nougat bootstack, but you'll have to search for that info.

Flash TWRP based image via Odin, then flash a custom kernel with root via TWRP.

You do not have a unlocked BL so you can't install TWRP.. There is a thread for rooting, just look.
Is there any one touch method of how to root the exynos 8890 version without flashing on the TWRP on just like king root does it
I just bought a secondhand s10+ exynos. I wanted to root and install custom roms on it but all the solution i found is complicated. Id there any way to root this and install twrp without downloading the firmware? Thanks jn advance
I would say that you can use the TWRP guide to install the recovery and then continue to install a custom rom or using Thunderstorm Kernel if you want to use the stock rom.
You still need to unlock the bootloader but it is the only solution i know so far.
Here is the official TWRP thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-0-x-twrp-for-galaxy-s10-e-5g-exynos.4180287/
