0. follow here
1. Download above package from OP, be sure to be bl unlocked and frp unlocked
1a. Put latest Magisk 15.3 and manager on your extSD or flash supersu from within twrp package. It will be your choice how to root (btw, supersu in this package has chinese characters above)
1b. enable usb debugging, connect phone...
2. Run adb (devices)...you know by now, right
3. run following commands :
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot flash recovery TRT-TWRP-3.1.1-0818.img
4. when flashed, disconnect phone, and hold vol+ + power to boot into twrp recovery, select english
5. back up all !
6. format data
7. install Magisk or SuperSU at choice from your extSD. NOTE : when flashed and you want to reboot, select : not install supersu
8. reboot. It will take some reboots but all ok :good:

How to install a rom
You must have custom recovery installed see the above comment to install.
1. Download the rom you wish to install and put it on your external SD card
2. Reboot your device to recovery.
3. Go to wipe >> advanced wipe and wipe system, data, internal, dalvik and cache.
4. Go to install and search for your rom.zip on external SD card.
5. Flash it and thats it.
6. If you want Google apps (gapps) you will have to download a suitable gapps package for your device and new rom. If your new rom is android 9 pie then download arm gapps, android version 9 and I would recommend the lighter gapps package like nano or pico.
7. Flash gapps right after flashing your rom.
8. Optional wipe dalvik and cache just in case and thats it

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]PitchBlackRecoveryProject 3.0.0 [m30lte]

I would like to thank PBRP, Teamwin for their amazing work!
As usual, I am not responsible for damage to your device, you, the user is choosing to make these modifications.
Your device's warranty is VOID if this procedure is followed, Proceed at your own caution!
With the new update of Android 10 for our device SM-M305[F] / M305[M], Samsung reimplemented RMM and called it KG(KnoxGuard), there is confusion in the device community on how to install TWRP and root device.
Follow these updated instructions to get PBRP working with Latest Stock Firmware.
This thread will be updated regularly.
STRONGLY ADVICE TO BACKUP DATA.
Steps to get PBRP working with stock firmware
First of all flash completely stock firmware, you can always root with Magisk later.
If you are rooted and have PBRP installed already and you are not on Latest Firmware mentioned above then flash latest firmware.
Select BL, AP, CP, CSC (Use HOME_CSC).
Never only flash AP, will cause your /data to shrink.
Once you're updated to latest firmware mentioned above, make sure you unlock your bootloader.
Go into Settings>Software Info>Tap build number seven times.
Go into Settings>Developer Options>OEM Unlock & enable it.
It will prompt you with password/pin confirming to unlock bootloader. Device will reboot and wipe itself.
Setup device once it reboots and again enable developer options and see OEM unlock to be enabled and togglable.
Next enable USB debugging in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
Open up ADB/FASTBOOT Utility on your computer and connect your device with USB C cable.
Type in following commands without the quotations.
1."adb reboot download" ; reboots your device into Download mode, can flash device via Odin Downloader(Windows) or Heimdall Utility(Linux)
2.Download the attached PBRP.tar if you're using Odin or PBRP.img if you're using Heimdall to flash.
3.Flash the TWRP recovery by
ODIN:-
Clicking AP in Odin and make sure the Repartition and Auto Reboot boxes are UNTICKED/NOT SELECTED.
Click Start at bottom.
Heimdall:-
Open up a terminal window in the directory where twrp.img is downloaded.
Type in heimdall flash --RECOVERY pbrp.img --no-reboot
4.Once flash is complete, press Volume Down+Power Button to shutdown and as soon as screen is black IMMEDIATELY PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP+POWER Button and let go of Power button when you see samsung logo, continue holding Volume Up until device boots into TWRP.
5.Once device boots into PBRP, swipe to allow modifications and then Click Wipe>Format Data>type in "yes". This will format everything and reset the device.
6.Go into Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Tick only Cache and swipe to wipe it.
7.Reboot back into recovery by Reboot>Recovery>Do not Install.
8.Once rebooted back into PBRP, transfer the attached zip to phone Internal or SDcard, DO NOT RENAME THE ZIP.
9.Flash the zip by, Install > Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, swipe to flash it.
10.Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot into system by, Reboot > System > Do not install.
11.Device will boot into Android, wait patiently for about 15mins.
12.Once device boots, setup as usual, you will need internet.
13.Voila! You have successfully installed PBRP alongside Stock firmware.

Will payment apps work after installing magisk? like Gpay, PhonePe
Also will it take 7 days to unlock bootloader?

Hi, no idead for payment.

Unlock bootloader is fast with all the tools in my pack.

Cool, enjoy. The phone is still good

A very nice and clean tutorial, thanks for that!
I already unlocked bootloader with another tutorial and for now I will leave the device on the last stock firmware. But I already tested magisk. It's very new to me. The last phone I flashed is some years ago and I only knew SuperSU.
The Note 4 is only a "second device" and I won't use it as a daily driver. But it's fun to play around with it and test some things.
@djibe89 Good hint, that I have to use an older rom as an intermediate step to avoid problem, this is new to me.
Also I wondered when I looked up the partitions to backup. There are 15 (!?) partitions (Pics attached). You are writing, that following partitions have to be backed up: System, Vendor, Boot, Bootloader, Firmware and EFS partitions.
When I flash lineage and then want to go back, can I just restore the partitions? What happens to the other partitions when I flash a rom? Will they be deleted? Some years ago a phone just had 4 or 5 partitions...

Hi @tito_puente, you can start from step 7 to enjoy a clean Note 4.

Many thanks for the guide. Worked well. Can I remove Magisk to unroot or would I need to start Over?

Great guide, Im new to flashing roms and this seems understandable. Is this usable for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x (snapdragon)?

Hi,
Yes.
Like written in the Title, it is for the snapdragon version, Aka 4X

Ooh i did not know the only difference between the note 4 and note 4x is that the 4x uses snapdragon.
The reason I was doubting is that I got a different device ID so I thought i my phone is a different model

[HOWTO]/[ROM] [UNOFFCIAL] How to Flash Lineage OS 19.0

Here is a quick how-to guide to flash LineageOS 19.0 to the A51​
Disclaimer: I am not the maintainer of any of the files I link to here. I just wanted to share my experience to make the process of Flashing los19 to the a51 easier for others.
Prerequisites:
1. Unlocked Bootloader
This step is crucial. You need to unlock the bootloader of the A51 before trying any of this. If not, you are likely to brick your device.​1.1. Unlock developer mode by standard procedure: Settings > Info > Tab 7 times on build number​1.2. Enable USB debugging in Developer Options​1.3. Enable OEM unlocking in Developer Options -> To see OEM unlock option I needed to connect to my WIFI, then set the phone date manually to March 7th 2019. Only then the OEM unlock option became visible in Developer Options. Yes, this is super dumb and inconvenient...​1.4 After triggering OEM unlock option shutdown your phone.​1.5 Enter Download mode by: Pressing Volume+ and Volume - while at the same time plugging in the USB cable that is already in your PC.​1.6. To finally unlock bootloader, you will see a green screen on which you need to press Vol + for some time. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. It will also erase all data on your phone!​1.7 After reboot repeat steps 1.1. - 1.5. again. This time you can actually enter download mode by pressing Vol + shortly on the green screen.​
2. Flash Twrp
You can now flash TWRP via Odin. The TWRP img I used is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/0h14t0263oujhna/TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220321-1406-hotfix.tar/file. I flashed it as AP. Make sure to uncheck Auto reboot before flashing.​When flashing is complete hold Vol - and Power until reboot.​Immediately when rebooting hold Vol + and Power until Samsung logo appears, then let Power go but hold Vol + to enter TWRP.​
3. Actual Flashing:
3.1. Necessary Files:​Make sure to load all files necessary to your SD before flashing:​ChonDoe_Flasher, Disable_Dm_Verity, Multidisabler, LOS-Imagefile, Magisk(optional)​​As for the LOS Image I used this file here, which already includes gapps:​lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.img​​If you don't want gapps pick an image that says "BvS" instead of "bgs"​​3.2. You need to move your LOS-Image to the same folder as ChonDoe_Flasher and rename the file to "system.img"​
3.3 Flashing Sequence:
In TWRP Follow this sequence:
3.3.1. Wipe data, dalvik, cache​3.3.2. flash disable_dm_verity​3.3.3. flash multidisabler​3.3.4. Wipe internal storage (Backup might be advisable, if you didn't format data anyways)​3.3.5. reboot recovery​3.3.6. flash chondone with lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.img in the same folder renamed to system.mg​3.3.7. Wipe data​3.3.8. Reboot​
That should be it. First startup takes some time, your phone should boot to LOS 19.
4. Anger Management
If you softbrick your device you can try to go back to stock rom by accessing download mode and flashing it via Odin. Will take some fiddling around with the button combinations.
If you hardbrick your device don't hold me responsible and good luck to you!
Thanks to
Kyau Sana, Vadim Kupriyanov, Knoyan GTR-X and Sara Lins and other, from the telegram-group, who helped me figure out the process.

Lineage 19 flash worked but after flashing my TWRP recovery bootloops (flashing twrp logo).
TWRP that loops is twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.
Do you have a working TWRP for this version of Lineage ?
Tried TWRP v3.6.1 A51 tree but it doesn't work and boots into download mode with "DT Entry not found / DT Load Failed / VB Meta sign errors"

Nope TWRP does not work. When using the one you linked (as all other 3.6.1 ones) it just jumps back to download mode with DT Entry not found & VBMeta not signed errors.

ALL sensors ok ?
Fingerprint ok ? In this ROM

Sorry to hear mate. Unfortunately I cannot hell you solve this issue. There is a telegram channel for custom roms on the A51 with many motivated people. One of them might have the answer you need!
See: https://t.me/samsunga51
If you find it, please post it, so others can profit from it. With your agreement I would also like to add info about the solution - should you find it - to my initial post.

Don't know about fingerprint as I do not want to provide biometric data to my phone. Maybe someone else using the ROM can answer this; Or you, if you decide to flash it post your results.
Apart from that I have not had any problems with the ROM apart from the following:
-The resulotion of the native lineage camera app is not satisfactory. When I find an app that works better, I'll let you know.
- Restarting the phone after empty battery requires a soft reset sometimes (power+vol -)
-> A solution to this problem might be given in this post. Will try it later.

Thank you, @DerTopher , but unfortunately the link to your LOS file does not work any more. How do I get the file now?

THIS GUIDE ONLY WORKS ON ANDROID 12!!!

I have concluded all my experiments, and now I can confirm that the "twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar" on this website only works for Android 10 as instructed by Admin. This does not for Android 11. For Android 11 you have to flash a different file called "Twrp+vbmeta_A11.tar".

See this excelent post for more info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-ui-2-5-ctj1-android-10.4213443/post-84750027

Anyone knows how to remove the native SU, so that magisk doesn't complain about "abnormal state" su file ?
