Go to install and youll need to find the gapps mostly you see it already if not go to the location were you installed it. You shouldnt unzip the file without twrp. Make also sure you installed it.

I deleted my whole system...

Ok, so, I was trying to install a newer version of AOPK Rom for my Nexus 10 when I forgot that if you delete the whole system, it will remove the .zip too, so I did it and now I have nothing on my Nexus. If there is anything I can do to fix this please let me know I've only had this since christmas
I'm on Windows 7 and I'm using TWRP

Well it's pretty much a requirement when flashing AOSP-based firmwares like AOKP, Cyanogenmod, etc. Otherwise, you have little functionality as the Play Store and other crucial Google proprietary apps are not included with the firmware itself.
Follow the directions listed in the thread:
MAKE A NANDROID
wipe data/factory reset in recovery
flash ROM
[*]flash Gapps
reboot

HELP!! I am stuck inside of TWRP and cannot boot into the system

Hey everyone, I have a really frustrating problem, I am currently able to boot into TWRP via hardware method and ADB can see my device as well. However I have tried to install a stock system image through TWRP and I have also tried to install another TWRP backup that a user had posted in the Q&A forum. At one time I was able to successfully boot into the system but my device said encryption unsuccessful. After wiping the system partition and trying to install these images through TWRP I am still unable to boot into the system. Whenever I install them my phone will reboot into TWRP. I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

I saw your other post in the other thread, but couldn't reply for some reason.. did you wipe the internal storage before restore?
Yes I did wipe the internal storage, I actually wiped everything the first time I tried to get everything in order and that was my original problem by wiping the system. I didn't realize that wiping internal storage would cause issues but that could have been one of the culprits. I think what finally solved my issue is I installed a deodexed rom and then powered down my device instead of rebooting and it booted up the rom. I had to flash SuperSU from a zip because for some reason the one that was preinstalled with that rom didn't install properly. So I installed the SuperSU zip and I am now officially rooted. Lesson learned DON'T WIPE SYSTEM OR INTERNAL STORAGE lol. I should have known better I have been rooting for awhile now, I just wasn't paying attention it happens to the best of us sometimes. Thanks for your help.

I used the deodexed ROM that is in the development forum. If I can upload it here I will if not just download it put it on your SD card and flash it. It may take a couple tries though I would suggest powering down your phone instead of rebooting it. Then turn it on and it should boot into the new rom. It's basically the same stock rom that our phone comes with. You may have to flash Chainfires SUPERSU zip that's in one of the threads. These steps should get you up and running again. Also if you can see your internal storage you're not encrypted. Hopefully that works for you. Let me know how it goes.
I wasnt able to upload the file from my phone. Just download it from here.

Flashing the rom helped me out. It's a system image file. It's basically the stock rom for our device just deodexed. What exactly happened what did you wipe after your phone booted into
TWRP? If you still have TWRP you're not bricked. If you can flash that image from the thread I copied above then you should be good. You may have to flash SUPERSU to get root back. Also after you flash make sure you're not encrypted if you can see your internal storage partition then you're not encrypted.

when I flashed the rom from your link above it just booted me into twrp again . I don't know what exactly I'm suppose to wipe. I can see internal storage tho so I guess that's a good sign but what's not good is that I can't use my phone :/ I've been rooting for years and can't seem to figure this one out.

When you flashed the rom did you power the phone down and then try to boot into the rom? That's what I did and it worked for me. So don't select reboot into system, I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way. I had to power my device down and then boot into the room. Also if you can see your internal partition in TWRP then you should be good and encryption is not enabled. I know how frustrating this is. Just keep trying eventually that rom should stick.

There a stock rom that I posted a link to a few posts back when I trying to help someone else. Download it put it on your SD card and install it. You don't need to wipe anything it will format things for you. After it installs don't reboot, power down the device and then turn it back on it should boot into the rom. That's what worked for me. I believe there was another way then what I just described it's in the same thread that I linked a few posts back. Good luck!!

Same. Though I am on US996. Not sure what I did, was exploring some behind the scenes stuff using 'hidden codes' but didn't change any values as I didn't know what they meant in most cases. I rebooted my phone and it went straight to TWRP (3.0.2-1) and it will not boot past TWRP. Occasionally after I've flashed something, it will boot into TWRP and the screen will be unresponsive to touch so I have to pull the battery, but then it will be fine again.
I was in your position not to long ago, I'm currently working on getting a .kdz recovery file for the H918. My progress will continue on it later when finals are over.

Go to system/app/app/SamsungIMEv3_SYSTEMUID_XT9/ and remove the .apk. Then put the apk you have downloaded in that folder and set correct permissions ( take a look at other apk permission for example). Then go to recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache and then reboot.
Let me know if you still have problems.

Yeah it could be.
I have made a flashable zip containing the whole folder.
Here it is: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120703393 .
Go to TWRP, mount /system and then flash this zip. Then wipe cache & dalvik-cache and reboot.
I made the flashable zip quick, hopefully you wont have issues lol.

WORKING LIKE A ****ING CHARM
you saved me from using stupid Google keyboard, thank you very much! thank you for your effort i really appreciate that
Thank you once again really nice zip, everything went trough smoothly!
Here is the ss, all working fine after going trough every feature
Please, can U answer me: I do not have phone with me right now, cuz it is friends phone, i did installed above Stock Nougat 7.1.1 Rom which name is Odyssey Nougat Rom on J5 2016 FN. Now, my friend like that Rom but he doesn't like Samsung Keyboard port from N8... He need keyboard like it was on Stock Rom or one which looks like Xperia Phonepad keyboard. I tried everything, installed Xperia apk keyboard, but nothing works. Keyboard shows on System/Language and Keyboard settings but can not be activated.... That is shorter story Any help would be really appreciated. Thank U very much. Just in case, ill post this post on some other treads or/and on separate thread as well.
I finally downloaded the .apk for my Samsung J5 2016 (later a whole folder, because I realised that it was removed; TWPR closes ) but I can't install it Paidverts.apk that I've installed the same way (not from Play store) works...
What (else) can I do? Thanks for your help.

TWRP NANDROID Backup Fail

Hello everyone I ma have problems on creating a nandroidbackup using TWRP 3.2.3.0

You need to look at /tmp/recovery.log while in recovery (adb pull it if you have to). Look in it for the last file that it tried to read before it gave the error. Your options are either delete that file or pull it then delete it. However, the file is corrupt in some way and the backup will never finish.
Sorry I a noob on this, I was able to get the recovery.log and Attached it but i dont have any idea where to find the error. Please help

I think It would be the " BASICDREAMS" but i cant seem how to delete it.. Would it be better to erase everything and start from the beginning? Im not sure what to do.

If you're fairly new to this then starting from a fresh install may be a better safeguard. However, you'll pick things up quicker if you determined enough. If you're simply wanting to remove the app BasicDreams, I went ahead and made modded a pre-existing flashable zip (all credit to Gizmo) just so you can remove that app. To use it, boot into recovery and flash it through there.

Remove Encryption

Hi all,
Fairly new to this phone (9t) and am currently on Titanium is. Was wondering if there's a way to disable encryption as I tend to find if things go wrong you potentially lose all data and I tend to mess about with mods etc so don't want to run that risk!
Cheers!
Anyone?

Idk if its the right answer but u need to backup ur files on ur pc first (i suggest u mixplorer to copy them by wifi, usb is kinda slow for me) than u need to format data and flash DFE everytime when u flash a rom to boot

You need to format Data to remove encryption ONlLY if you want to install custom ROMs
For Magisk and any modding you plan to do with Magisk/root, you don't need.
Also, for the official TWRP or OrangeFox you don't need to decrypt (unless you go for custom ROMs)
I'm currently on a custom ROM but when I first went through the setup process everything was decrypted, then when I booted up and went in settings, it said encrypted and going by to twrp asked for my pattern to decrypt. I'm not sure what I've missed through doing all that but as a consequence, whenever I flash an update to the ROM, I have to reflash vendor + fw just to be able to boot again... I'm worried that at some point this will **** up and screw my data up.
So say for example if I set everything up from scratch again, what process should I follow? I'm using the Italian guys' twrp atm (sorry forget his username!) So is there a different twrp I should use instead or is there anything else I need to flash/do to avoid encryption happening on first boot?
