Flashing on 935F

Hi all.
I have the 935F International on it's way to me, delivering in the next day or so
By all accounts the 935F is already unlocked. To prepare, I have already downloaded Odin 3.11.1, CF's root file, TWRP twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte tar, and a custom ROM and bootloader/modem files.
I'm not a noob to flashing, just newish to Samsung.
What is the best way to start? Boot into stock, enable bootloader unlock on developer options, run Odin and flash TWRP, then CF's root file? Also, I want to run unencrypted - format data using advanced wipe 'yes' method?
The ROM states it sets root on installation. Do I then need to flash CF's root file?
Further, how are bootloader/modem tar files flashed? Is it as simple as selecting BL for bootloader, although I don't see anything for the modem??
Finally, what is the actual order of all this? I'm thinking: TWRP first, Format internal data second, CF root third, ROM flash from TWRP fourth, reboot to download mode from TWRP and then flash modem/bootloader last. Then reboot all together to set the phone up?
Thanks and any help is appreciated

1. Update to latest firmware

3. TWRP
4. Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, wipe data.
5. Reboot recovery, mount system.

Thanks for the info :good:
When you say update to latest firmware this is Bootloader and Modem yes?
Steps 2 & 4 - just having done a little more research, are these outdated now?; as TWRP (latest) now fixes encryption and the ROM will inject (for a better term ) SuperSU when installing it? Or will this still need to be done irrespective of using the latest version of TWRP and ROM?
Cheers and thanks :good:

If you're not new to rooting and custom roms, pretty much all you need is to unlock OEM in Dev Options in Settings, Restart the device and hold Vol Down+Home+Power to get into Download Mode and press Up at the blue screen. Plug in your USB to your phone and run the tool on your PC.
Once Rooted, its business as usual. You don't need a guide to install TWRP, just install the Flashify app and let it do it for you, and then have no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip handy to flash. I know no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip is essential if you flash TWRP through ODIN, but not 100% sure if you should if you flashed TWRP through Flashify, I always flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip regardless so I unno.
Also if you find yourself in a semi-bricked situation where you can't figure out your problem, as long as you have Download Mode, you'll always have a way to get back to a working device. Samsung Smart Switch for Windows has an Emergency Mode that will revert your device back to Factory Conditions.

I've been doing things this way since day 1 with no problems. My advice would be to do it the same way. I can assure you a solid install ;]
Yes, firmware is bootloader & modem. Great thread for this is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065

Battery health help

I want to know the EXACT battery capacity(as in battery health) left in my s7 edge battery.unrooted stock nougat. Don't at all mind if computer is needed.Help?

go to the play store and download phone info and go to personal tab and it will tell you

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-...ernel-t3706089
The goal of this is to give you better performance and battery, and now supports ALL S7s!!!
I have included into the script where it will create a file craz_test.log which will tell if and when the script has ran at boot in /data
I have also implemented into the script where it will run the script every 3 minutes (180 seconds) as the kernel will reset itself often.
Thanks to @kevp75 for the help with troubleshooting and making things easier
HUGE thanks to @king3opobn for providing information and testing on the Exynos variant!

If you want to fix it here is what i did:
STEP 1 - ROOT IT!
1. Download Magisk zip and pull it to your Sd card or internal storage
2. Flash TWRP via Odin (put it in "AP"). Be sure to disable auto reboot in odin. If it says PASS!, hold the 3 keys (volume up + home + power) wait until twrp screen appears. (Your Warranty is now void)
3. Now flash the Magisk zip and reboot your device.

**You have successfully rooted your S7edge!**
STEP 2 - UPDATE BL AND MODEM (FIX STANDBY DRAIN)
1. Boot your S7edge into Download mode
*Volume down + home + power*
A blue screen with a triangle appears. Press Volume Up key and its in Download mode
2. Flash latest Oreo Bootloader (ERF4) and Modem (EREO) via odin (!!be sure to disable "NANO EREASE" in Odin!!)
Put the Bootloader file into "BL" and Modem file into "CP" and hit Start
2. Let it reboot normally

3. Flash TGP Kernel
My Choices in Aroma:
•Magisk root
•Clear root data from previous root
I didnt select MTweaks or other stuff. I only picked the 2 options above
------Just select Magisk and choose Delete Root data (from previous root). Deselect all other things ----
4. Wipe DALVIK/ART CACHE
5. Reboot and youre Done!?

Help with root.

So my situation right now is pretty ****ty, I almost bricked my device, but I got stock firmware form xda and thats okay, I wanted to unroot my phone, opened up supersu but it said that I wasn't rotted, then I went to snapchat it says that oh no your attempt blah blah blah, then I tried to play pokemon go, still same which means that I still have root but I can't unroot, btw I have TWRP installed, what do I do? Oh and my device is SM-G900F.

Flash magisk uninstaller to clean up root
Flash magisk 17.2
Open magisk manager
Goto settings
Hide magisk manager app with random package name
Goto magisk hide
Select snapchat & pokemon go
Sorted - you have a rooted device & can use above apps

Make sure you have installed Samsung USB drivers
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Odin
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431597&d=1519662712
Twrp
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
Switch phone off
Put phone in download mode (hold Vol down home button and power button)
Connect phone to PC via USB USB
Push Vol up to start connection
Put twrp image.tar in the AP section of odin
Begin flash
As soon as the phone restarts enter recovery mode by holding Vol up home button & power button.
Failure to immediately enter recovery mode will mean twrp will not stick & you will need to reflash
If it's not flashing change usb cable & try again
You also may want to update your firmware if not already on the latest version - you can either download the entire firmware from sammobile.com or if you are planning on using a custom rom & don't want to download the entire stock firmware you can just update the bootloader and modem

https://duromaticspares.uk/lineageos/G900FXXU1CQK3_G900FXXU1CRH1_Baseband_Firmware.tar
Again put in AP section of odin and flash

I have samsung drivers installed, I'm going to try and change the usb cable, and what is that download link that you sent me? Is it stock firmware?

So ok TWRP worked, but when I try to flash it I get this error:
! Boot image patched by unsupported programs
! Cannot uninstall
Thanks for the help wiith odin :victory: !

What are you trying to flash? Magisk?
Sounds like you have previous kernel mods that are not allowing magisk to flash
Best thing to do here is flash stock rom via odin and start again
Goto sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash via odin
Once flashed goto recovery (it will now be stock recovery) and perform a format data/factory reset
Obviously backup any files to pc before you do the above
The other link was the update for modem & Bootloader which saves downloading the entire latest firmware
Flash in odin - place in AP section
However since you are going to be downloading the entire firmware as long as it's the latest version you don't need this

The thing it doesnt let me download the latest firmware, it says that free download is not avaible, and I need to buy premium but I I am not doing that.

Updating Android on SM-T560

I got a brand new Samsung Tab E 9.6" (SM-T560). Shame on me, I didn't notice before it comes with Android 4.4.4
As many apps require newer OS, I'm wondering if I can upgrade it to Android 6.0.
Plase note:
1. I'm not an expert, so please explain me as easy as possible how to do it, if it can be done;
2. please tell me, in case,if it's 100% legal and/or if it can void warrant.
Thank you.

Samsung Tab E
Check again --- Just picked up the same thing this week at Walmart for $129.00 + $25 Google Play credits - it came with 7.1.1. - Take it back sounds like you got some real old stock..

They do come with Android 4.4, however if you go to Samsungs web page you can find a crispy 7.1.1 image you can flash with Odin. Then if you wish you can unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP and then chainfires systemless root. Cheers! Upgrading to just 7.1.1 with Odin will not void your warranty, anything else that involves unlocking the bootloader will and is will trip samsungs knox security feature. If warranty is important only flash the 7.1.1 image using Odin.

Hello,
I'm searching forsuch an update, too. But It seems, that it was only released for USA and CA. But I'm from Germany. @xSLAYERx do you have a link to the ROM?

Hi, I was with the same problem, and I posted here in XDA, I'm from Brazil, i have the model SM-T560, and now i'm using nougt, from Lineageos 14.1, and this was only possible, because someone from Xda, gave me the following link:
http://www.gearappsnap.com/2018/03/14/how-to-install-android-nougat-on-the-galaxy-tab-e-sm-t561/
The rom is of the SM-T561 model, but also works on the SM-T560, read everything before doing anything. When installing TWRP, you can install the version of the SM-t560, which will not make any difference.
One more thing, I advise you to see some YouTube tutorials how to install TWRP. Just in case.

Thank You for your help!

For nothing, follow step by step that will work perfectly. Except this will end your warranty, but it's the only way to install an update. If you need any help, just talk.

gearappsnap site is not really good made.. The download links behind text which look like a normal one and also that it says, flash boot.img only when the memory is wrong..
Well, CM14.1 did not work for me.. I had to flash boot.img before EVERYTHING else, then rebooted again to TWRP and THEN install cm14.1.

Um, did you follow step by step?
I followed what was written, and for me it worked normal, The boot.img file is to fit just the memory of the table because it had some problem with the rom, without installing it, has tablet that got locked in infinite loop. And the links were working normal for me.
Links that i download:
ROM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D0wrGM4XyZMo-t3ll4trvJ93Pl1KEZ1V/view
Boot.img: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bqGmu4NTlEeKdsFPGjIY9lnPqujjazr4/view
softkeys: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddSB28g1xTd0J7sl8V6QmlPZA1aX77ot/view
Gaps: https://opengapps.org/
First the TWRP is installed, with the battery above 70%, then restarts the tablet.
Within the TWRP:
1) Wibe-> advanced wibe-> selects almost anything but not microSD and OTC. and Wibe.
2) Back to the home page-> Install-> select the external storage (the files must be saved on the SD card).
3) The first file to be installed is the rom.
4) Once installed, go back to the files and at the bottom of the page you will click install image and install boot.img.
5) After Boot.img is installed, switch back to Install Zip, and Install the Softkeys.
6) After installing the softkeys go back and install the Gaps. (I used the ARM-7.1-Pico) and restart the tablet.
In my case I did not install superSU. That's what I did. This rom has some flaws but better than Kitkat, that's what I think.

In reality you have to install boot.img and softkeys before, the reason is because they are modified for the T56X, otherwise install themselves after the gaps will give error when to use. At least it is what was written on the site, and so far I have been using no defect at all.

I do not think that is effective. if you come from 4.4.4 and install it before the lineage ROM (BASE 7.1 for example) it will be erased again because with the new base everything is overwritten.

Well that didnt work for me.. Was coming from Stock 4.4 ROM. Flashed the CM14.1 AND softkeys, but NOT the boot.img, because you cannot flash zip and img files at the same time. Then I booted it and it crashed 10-60secs after it booted. Sometimes it had a boot loop.
Then I tried CM 13 which worked fine and in a german board, someone wrote (based on the gearappsnap site) that the boot.img has to be the first thing to flash and even reboot into twrp again and then flash CM14.1 + softkeys + gapps.

If you could install it, that's what matters, in my case it worked the way it was on the site, there are some bug's, but it's a lot better than the stock rom, and I was already using a custom rom on the T560 before installing this LineageOS 14.1,and it was this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-e/development/rom-lightning-t3716039

Szia!
did the upgrade work for You For galaxy tab e?

Done this and it worked but.........
The tablet is really slow, not netflix compatible with this version, and so on....
I think I just might downgrade again

After I have tried step 3, it didnt open in twrp mode. My tab stucks in black screen with "Samsung galaxt tab e " text in background.Please let me know how to proceed.

The page came up fine, but when I click on the links http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalax...1wifi2016.html & https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools;
I get: "This site can’t be reached teamw.in took too long to respond." & "This site can’t be reached idlekernel.com refused to connect."
This happened on both my desktop computer & Samsung tablet .

1. Do I need to download both TWRP & Odin? To my Samsung tablet or desktop computer?
2. TWRP states 'Root Required', how do I do that?
3. Odin states 'No Root Required', so is Odin easier & doesn't need TWRP?

1. Put both TWRP and Odin on your computer.
2&3. You don't need to be rooted to flash TWRP with Odin.

Hello. I've downloaded both me.twrp.twrpapp-26.apk & Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip, then used WinRAR to extract the .zip files. What do I do now?
I've never done this before & would appreciate some instruction.

0. Download the latest Magisk zip file here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
1. Download the latest TWRP .tar file not the .apk file or the .img file from the link posted before.
2. Boot your phone into Download mode by either pressing power + volume down + home, or if you dont have a home button hold the bixby button instead.

4. Load the TWRP .tar file in the AP tab of Odin.
5. Disable Auto reboot in the options section.
6. Click on start and it will flash TWRP recovery.
7. to boot into TWRP recovery hold power + volume down + home/bixby and immediatly when the screen goes black hold the power button + volume up button + home/bixby button.

Sidetracked, but I'm back & have a few questions before I start to follow your instructions.
1. I download the latest Magisk zip file (v20.4.zip). I keep it zipped, not extracted; correct?
2. Where do I download the latest TWRP .tar file? I only find the .apk files.
3. Do I still need the Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip file?
4. Would the program: KINGROOT be a little easier & safer for a beginner as myself?
