Hello guys, I'm a beginner in this flashing stuff. I have watched youtube over a guy flashing Android 10 on his Samsung note 3. I carefully took his steps and i make sure that my model is compatible with said ROM, Mine is Samsung note 3 lte (N9005), Snapdragon. The issues that i am currently having is on flashing TWRP on my Samsung Note 3, because it won't boot on recovery mode despite i press the exact button as the Video describe, it just boots in recovery and then restarted on the same logo boot repeatedly. I have tried flashing LineAgeOs using the tutorial provided by LineAgeOs team and again, i make sure that the rom is fully compatible and still end up same result. Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for giving your time reading my problems
Please describe your issue again with more details.
From you're post, it seems as though you are having issues with TWRP. Below I will give you a full tutorial on how to get TWRP up and running for your specific device. Do give this a go, as I have done the research for your specific model, and it should work just fine.
First things first, unlock your devices bootloader. You may not have done this correctly, so if it is possbile to boot into android, then try this:
How to unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 | Softstribe
Unlocking bootloader in Samsung Note 3 made easy and you can simply enable developers mode where you can perform OEM unlock.
softstribe.com
If you're bootloader is already unlocked, then proceed.
Now that the bootloader in unlocked, we need to install TWRP for your specific device. Your device is the N9005, which is the international snapdragon model. It's codename is hlte, or hlte*. For TWRP, it is also categorised as the Europe/American model (hltexx).
For flashing TWRP correctly to a samsung device, we will need odin. Odin is a flashing software for samsung devices.
Download Odin.zip from here:
Samsung Odin - Root Android download page for one click root
Samsung odin download - Root android and oneclickroot for flash / install custom ROM with one click root method
odindownload.com
(Download the latest version (v13.4.1 at the time of writing this)
Now, extract Odin.
Once we have Odin downloaded, we will need to install the correct usb drivers for Samsung phones.
Download the file below, then extract the zip and run the installer:
Samsung_USB_Driver_v1.7.31.0
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
Now that odin and the drivers are ready, we need the actual twrp image which we need to flash to our device.
Here is the link, download the latest .img.tar file (3.6.1_9-0 at the time of writing):
Download TWRP for hlte
Download TWRP Open Recovery for hlte
dl.twrp.me
Do not download the normal .img file, as that cannot be flashed via odin.
Now that we're past the prerequisites, we need to actually flash twrp to your device. To begin, we must put your note 3 into download mode. To enter download mode, power off your phone completely and then press Power+Home+Vol Down at the same time and keep these three buttons pressed until your phone shows a "download mode, do not power off target!!!" screen, you can follow this video tutorial below:
Now that we are in download mode on the device, we need to get back to our computer and configure odin to flash twrp. First things first, open odin. Now, connect your phone to the computer. You should see a little "COM-" show up in one of the empty boxes in the top row under the word "ID:COM". This is good, it means that your pc successfully recognises your device.
Now, go to the options tab on the left side, makse sure that repartition is UNCHECKED. Now, click on the "AP" button, and navigate to and select the TWRP.img.tar file that you downloaded earlier. After you have selected it, click on start at the bottom right. Now it will begin to flash twrp, which should not take long. Make sure that you do not disconnect the device while flashing, wait for the phone to complete. Once it is done, the phone will reboot.
Now, just remove the battery, then put it back in. To enter TWRP recovery, keep Power+Home+Vol Up pressed, then once you see the samsung boot logo upon the phone powering on, let go of power, but keep home and volume up pressed.
Congrats! You've just flashed TWRP to your device, amazing!
Now you can go and look for custom roms to flash to your device. Since your model is the N9005, look for hlte/hlte* roms, don't use any roms if they don't support the hlte/hlte* variant.
Alright, now since you have mentioned that you want to use lineage os, here's a guide for that too.
So currently, it is recommended to use android 11 lineage os nightly builds as they are stable and official, so they should not have any bugs. So unfortunately, I cannot recommend installing lineage os android 10, as you had originally wanted, though the installation process for that will be somewhat similar. It is still not recommended to use old or unofficial builds due to bugs and lack of security updates.
First, we need to download lineage os for this device onto our pc, here's the link to the latest nightly build:
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/hlte/20220319/lineage-18.1-20220319-nightly-hlte-signed.zip
Next we need to download a GApps package for google play functionality. OpenGApps is recommended as it is open source, secure and reliable, usually with no bugs. I recommend using the nano package instead of pico if your device can handle it (your's can handle it just fine), as it contains google play functionality, and some extra google features which cannot be downloaded from google play. Here is the link to the nano package for your device (only for android 11 roms):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm/20220215/open_gapps-arm-11.0-nano-20220215.zip/download?use_mirror=udomain&r=&use_mirror=autoselect
Now, if you want to get your device play protect certified, you will also need to download magisk for rooting, and magisk modules (so that you can download netflix and use banking apps etc.), but that is something you can do later on, and you can find any tutorial online for this.
Once the download is complete, move the lineage and opengapps .zip files to an sd card and insert it into the phone. Enter TWRP, go to wipe and click on Advanced. From here, wipe System+Data+Cache+Dalvik/ART Cache. Your files such as photos and media will not be wiped.
Next, go back to the TWRP main menu and select install. Click the select storage button at the bottom left and click on Micro SD Card. Now, click on the lineage os zip file, then click on the Add Zips to Queue button and select the opengapps zip file, then click install. This will take some time, do not interrupt it. Once it is complete, you can reboot the phone. The first reboot will take some time, and the first boot may be slow, after setting up your device, make sure to reboot it at least once.
Congrats, you've just installed a custom rom with google play functionality via TWRP!
Unfortunately, sometimes there are issues. If you still cannot get into lineage os despite waiting at least 10 minutes on the boot screen, then follow these steps below:
The lineage team says that booting issues may be due to incompatible recoveries, this means that we will have to use lineageos's own recovery to flash the rom.
For this, download the lineage os recovery.img from here:
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/recovery/hlte/20220319/lineage-18.1-20220319-recovery-hlte.img
Now copy this image file to your sd card and insert it into the phone.
Enter TWRP. First of all, click on wipe, then click on advanced and select System+Data+Cache+Dalvik/ART Cache and wipe. Now, go back to the main menu and click install. At the bottom right or left, there will be a button to "Install Image". Click on that button, and select the lineage recovery zip file and install it. Now go back to the main menu and click on the reboot button, then click on reboot to recovery.
Now you will boot into the lineage os recovery, from here you can install lineage os and the gapps zip files. Here is a tutorial:
This tutorial is for a oneplus phone, but it will be the same process on your samsung device.
Once it is complete, you can restart the device. If you would like TWRP back after flashing, just follow the steps from my first post and use odin to flash the twrp file again. I recommend that after installing lineage os, flash twrp again, as twrp recovery is much better than lineage recovery, and you dont need lineage recovery after installing lineage os.
If I helped you out, please mark my post as the solution, Thanks!

I did exactly with all your instructions. The end result is still the same that it won't boot TWRP after flashing, I don't really understand what the heck is wrong with my Samsung Note 3 Hlte. However i did try again with Lineageos Recovery, heck same thing too! This is really frustracting man, it just restarted itself and goes into normal boot.

Did you follow my instructions from the beginning, using the files I linked, instead of your own?
How did you even try lineage recovery if you can't boot into TWRP? You need to boot into TWRP to flash lineage recovery..
HECK, how did you even flash lineage os if you can't boot into twrp???
Please answer these questions, as it is literally impossbile to do what your doing without entering twrp.
Just follow my instructions step by step, using only the files I linked, then tell us what happens.
I think your problem is that you aren't even entering recovery mode. You need to keep Power+Home+Volume Up pressed, then once the samsung logo appears, wait for 2 seconds and let go of power, without letting go of home or volume up. Now keep home and volume up pressed, eventually you will boot into twrp.
If you can't get into twrp, it means that you didn't flash it correctly, in which case make sure that your bootloader is unlocked.
It is also possible that your devices buttons or broken or something, in that case, download platform tools from here:
https://magiskupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows.zip/
Next, download and install adb and fastboot drivers from here:
Download in progress... - My USB Drivers
Preparing your download... Please wait...! Facing issues downloading the file or the download link is broken? You can report us here.
myusbdrivers.com
Install the drivers, then reboot. After that, extract platform tools and open the folder. Note the location of the folder (e.g. C:\Users\Name\Downloads\platform-tools). Now open a command prompt window (cmd), then type:
cd location of platform tools folder here
e.g.
cd C:\Users\Name\Downloads\platform-tools
Now, boot your phone into download mode (power+home+vol down), then connect it to the pc. Type:
adb reboot recovery
and
fastboot reboot recovery
This will force your device to boot into recovery, if your device still doesn't boot into twrp, then you have incorrectly flashed twrp to your device. If that's the case, please carefully follow my instructions from the first post, using my linked files only.

I did follow your instructions using your own files that you provided for me. I did press Power + Home + volume up exactly as you told me to and let go of power button and keep pressing Volume up and Home, It just won't boot correctly into Twrp and restarted itself. There is alternative than using TWRP which is Lineageos Recovery os, i flashed that on my Samsung Note 3 HLTE, but it also don't work as well. However the link you sent to me right now is broken. Mind sending new one?
i forgot to mention one thing, i already unlocked the bootloader on Devs setting by turning on USB Debugging. There is no saying about bootloader option. I'm 100% sure i am doing it correctly. I downloaded literally everything from you and did as the instruction told. Even when i keep pressing Home + Volume up, it goes into bootloop without any successful attempt into booting twrp correctly and once i let go of Home + volume up button will boot my Samsung note 3 hlte into Normal boot and work as normal.
there should be an oem unlocking option in developer options. you need to select that, then reboot into downlaod mode and confirm to unlock your bootloader. To check it if it is unlocked, boot into download mode and send a picture of the text which it shows at the top right here on this forum and ill be able to confirm it for you.
N9005 does not have a locked bootloader .
Check its actually a N9005

You can see the video for the devs option, there is only usb debugging, i turn it off so that you can notice it and turn it back on in the video. You can try look at the download mode picture too. Let me know if i am doing anything wrong. Anyways the SDK Platform tool link you sent me is broken bro, i haven't try that solution yet.

It is N9005 my bro, I checked the spec with CPUZ and also reFlashed with Stock ROM N9005 with same Country region just for sure and it works fine. After i flash the stock rom, it can boot into recovery mode with no issues. However, with TWRP... It just won't work... I don't know why...
Will an older TWRP 2.8.70 etc flash , it could then upgrade TWRP .

I'll try flashing Old twrp version and soon update about it.
Okay. it seem to be work out. But i realised that my Samsung note 3 hlte lcd screen is not original... So is this the reason why i can't flash custom rom? Or is there any alternative that may help me flash any good custom rom other than stock?

Changed parts doesnt affect the installation of a custom rom. What issue are you encountering, you said that it worked out..? Just use twrp to wipe system+data+cache+dalvik, then flash acustom rom which is compatible with the hlte

Twrp 2.8.70 is too old to read modern custom rom, it seem that i can't flash Lineageos 18.1 at all. That's what i mean, although Android 7.1 Lineageos seem to work out on my samsung note 3 hlte
flash 2.8.70, then install a 3.3x image via twrp's "install image" option in the install menu

There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive guide on this, so I thought I would provide one.
READ THIS FIRST
DO NOT TAKE ANY OTA UPDATES!!!
Please consider the following:
Ask yourself these two questions: "Why do I want to unlock my bootloader? Why do I need root access?" If the answer to either one of those is "I don't know," don't do it. Both of these actions weaken the security of your phone, and there's no reason to do that if you're not sure why.
This guide is for the Droid Turbo, model XT1254. It is not for the Droid Turbo 2, and it is not for any phone that is not named Droid Turbo.
Standard XDA rules apply. I'm not responsible for anything you do, and neither is anyone else other than you.
I'm assuming that you are running a Windows PC. If you have a Mac, I can't help you. If you're running Linux, you shouldn't need help.
This method is not free. It costs $25 (USD). If that's not okay with you, don't do this.
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you CANNOT safely re-lock and unlock it again. See this thread for what happens when you try to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/relocked-bootloader-bricked-t3306081#post65095391
Still here? Cool.
Section 0: Installing Firmware Version MCG24.251-5
1. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. If it says SU4TL-44, SU4TL-49 or MCG24.251-5, skip to section 1 of this guide. If it says MCG24.251-5-5, you need to take an extra step to unlock your bootloader. I'll explain later. For now, just skip to section 1 of this guide. If it says anything else, keep reading.
Flashing MCG24.251-5 using this method will erase all of your data. Back up any important files/information before proceeding.
2. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
3. Download and install the Motorola Device Manager from here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
4. Download the MCG24.251-5 firmware package from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195901169
5. Extract the contents of the MCG24.251-5 firmware package to the installation directory of Minimal ADB and Fastboot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot on any 64-bit installation of Windows).
6. Power off your phone.
7. Hold down the volume down button and power on your phone. Release the volume down button when you see that the phone has booted into bootloader mode. You'll see a dead green android.
8. Plug the phone into your computer.
9. Open the Minimal ADB and Fastboot shortcut on your desktop. This will open a command prompt.
10. Type "fastboot devices" and press enter. If it displays your device's serial number, you're ready to go. If it displays nothing, your computer is not recognizing your device properly.
11. Navigate to the installation directory of Minimal ADB and Fastboot and double click on FlashAll.bat. This will flash MCG24.251-5 to your device and erase all of your data.
12. Use the power button to select Start in the bootloader menu to boot normally.
13. Set up your phone at least to the point where you can install apps if you want to.
For now, just try to ask someone nicely to help you out with this. I'll try to get this done before the end of the day.
Section 1: Unlocking the Bootloader
1. Download Sunshine from here: http://theroot.ninja/download.html
2. Move the apk file to a convenient location on your phone. If you downloaded it with your phone, it's in your downloads folder already, so leave it there.
3. Use any file browser on your phone to navigate to the folder that contains the Sunshine apk file. Tap on it to install it.
4. If a message comes up and says that you need to enable installation of apps from unknown sources, follow the instructions on that message to enable it.
5. Enable Wi-Fi on your phone if it is disabled. Even if you aren't connected to a Wi-Fi network, it still needs to be on.
6. !!!DO THIS STEP ONLY IF YOU'RE ON MCG24.251-5-5!!! Follow the instructions here to obtain temporary root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/root-autoinitroot-motorola-bootloader-t3639316/. DO NOT perform the uninstall step.
7. Open your app drawer and start Sunshine.
8. Follow the instructions.
9. !!!FOR MCG24.251-5-5 ONLY!!! Sunshine will reboot your phone automatically, and it will go into a bootloop. This is normal. Don't panic. Hold down the volume down button until the phone goes into bootloader mode. Plug your phone into the computer, start Minimal ADB and Fastboot (see Section 0 for link if you didn't have to install it before this point), and enter the command fastboot oem config fsg-id "". This will disable the temporary root exploit. Reboot your phone normally, and everything should be happy again.
10. If, when your phone reboots, you see a "Warning: The bootloader is unlocked" message, you have successfully unlocked your bootloader. If you do not see this message, open Sunshine again and follow the directions again. If you're on MCG24.251-5-5, you'll have to gain and uninstall temproot again at the appropriate times.
Section 2: Installing TWRP
Team Win Recovery Project is arguably the most important tool to have on a bootloader-unlocked phone. This is how you install it:
1. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. If you already did this in section 0, you don't have to do it again.
2. Download the latest TWRP .img file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562
NOTE: The TWRP file that you download should have a .img extension. Make sure you can see this. If you don't see .img at the end of the filename, Google how to make file extensions visible on your version of Windows and do it. If you do not do this, you may run into trouble later.
3. Download and install the Motorola Device Manager from here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481. If you already did this in section 0, you don't have to do it again.
3. Rename the file that you downloaded in step 2 to TWRP.img
4. Copy TWRP.img to the directory that you installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot to. The default location on an installation of 64-bit Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
5. Turn off your phone.
6. Hold the volume down button and press the power button to boot into bootloader mode. You should see a green android lying on his back with his chest open, and some information about your phone. Poor little guy...
7. Plug your phone into your PC.
8. Double click on the Minimal ADB and Fastboot shortcut that's on your desktop. It will open a command prompt.
9. Type "fastboot devices" without quotes and press enter. If it gives you your phone's serial number, you're good to go. If it gives you nothing, your device is not detected. This can happen for several reasons, and I won't discuss them here. However, if you followed these directions and all of your hardware is functioning properly, you should be good to go.
10. Type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" without quotes and press enter. It should tell you that the flash was successful. You might see some "not found" errors. These are normal and can be ignored.
11. Highlight "Recovery mode" on your phone using the volume up and down buttons.
12. Press the power button to boot into TWRP.
13. TWRP will boot, and it will ask you if you want to allow write access to the system partition. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALLOW THIS. Check the box that says to never ask this question again.
14. Select Reboot, followed by System to boot the phone normally.
Section 3: Gaining Root Access
If you intend to install a custom rom, these steps are not necessary. Custom roms almost always come with root access built in. Refer to the thread of your custom rom of choice for installation instructions.
If you do not want a custom rom, and you simply want root access on the stock Droid Turbo rom, continue reading.
1. If you are on the stock marshmallow rom, build MCG24.251-5 or higher, download the latest version of both Magisk and Magisk Manager to your phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445.
NOTE: You need to be on marshmallow to use Magisk to root your phone. The Magisk thread says it supports lollipop and higher, but it only supports lollipop for some stock Samsung roms. This does not apply to you. If you want to root your phone on lollipop, you'll need to use SuperSU. I won't go into that here because I don't think there is a lot of demand for it, but if you need help with that, reach out to someone here. It's not difficult.
2. Install Magisk Manager the same way you installed Sunshine.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Hold the volume down button and press the power button to boot into bootloader mode. You should see a green android lying on his back with his chest open, and some information about your phone. Andy, what have they done to you?
5. Use the volume up and down buttons to highlight "Recovery mode."
6. Press the power button to select Recovery mode.
7. Select Install from the TWRP main menu.
8. Select the most recent version of Magisk (the .zip file, NOT the Magisk Manager .apk file) that you downloaded.
9. Swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen to flash this zip file.
10. When it finishes, select Wipe Cache/Dalvik and swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen.
11. Select Reboot System
Section 4: Passing Safetynet using Stock, Unrooted Marshmallow
If you are running stock marshmallow with an unlocked bootloader, you will fail safetynet verification (and be unable to use Android Pay). Installing Magisk is the only recommended method, as of this writing, to bypass this limitation. If you completed Section 3, you shouldn't have any trouble. Understand, however, that there is a constant game of cat and mouse going on between Google and Magisk's developer, so sometimes Google will update safetynet to beat Magisk. If that happens, wait for Magisk Manager to tell you that a new version of Magisk is available, and it will install the new version for you. That's your best bet for passing safetynet again.
If you really want to pass safetynet, but you really don't want to be rooted, you can disable root (Superuser access) in the Magisk Manager settings.

Section 6: Troubleshooting
Issue: When you try to boot TWRP, you see a screen that says "no command." TWRP does not boot.
Solution: The screen you are seeing is the stock Droid Turbo recovery menu (the menu that you're trying to replace with TWRP). If you see this after flashing TWRP, one of two things happened:
-You did not boot into the recovery menu immediately after flashing TWRP, and it was therefore replaced by the stock recovery menu.
-When you flashed TWRP, the process did not complete successfully.
The solution to both of these problems is to repeat section 2 and follow the instructions more carefully.
Issue: When TWRP asked you if you wanted to allow write access to the system partition, you selected no. Now you cannot flash anything.
Solution: At the main TWRP menu, select Mount. Uncheck the box that says "Mount system partition as read-only."
Issue: Fastboot says "cannot load TWRP.img" when you try to flash it.
Solution: This error indicates that Fastboot cannot find TWRP.img. The most common source of this problem is that you did not make your file extensions visible, and so when you renamed the TWRP file to TWRP.img, you actually renamed it to TWRP.img.img (including the hidden .img file extension that you didn't realize was there). Google how to enable file extensions on your version of Windows, follow those instructions, and if this is the issue you will see it.
nice write up - will follow these when I get my phone tomorrow.
worked!
Just tried this. Worked amazingly, and exactly as you described! Thanks!!
Thanks just got this phone yesterday. I came from a Verizon s4 with a unlockable bootloader so now running cm on a phone is really awesome for me. Although I was concerned about the $25. I love paying people for there work but it seemed different and I was expecting the app to be a scam or something. However everything went okay. I wish there was a way to get viper4android working. Does anyone know about that? I thought installing cm would have fixed the issue. Anyways thanks a lot. I wonder if I can change my username. Lol.
I keep getting a "no command" screen after step 6 in section 3. Everything else worked perfect. Any ideas?

Nope, no matter what I do, it stays on that screen. I have to reboot and then it returns to normal. I've followed all of the steps twice now and got the same results each time. I do have the phone still plugged into the computer charging.

The screen that you're seeing is the stock Droid Turbo recovery menu, which means that TWRP is not getting flashed. What result does it give you after section 2, step 10?

Yeah, I did the exact same thing. The MDK bootloader is golden. I broke my phone once and almost cried. Luckily, I was able to get another MDK on Swappa. The seller wasn't even charging extra for it! He/she must not have known what they had.
As for Viper4Android, I've added a link to section 4 that you might want to look at.

to comment on @22e issue, I had the same problem. i was able to correct it by copying the TWRP.img file to the same directory as the minimal adb fastboot files were installed in.
also, a shortcut after flashing TWRP is to type "fastboot reboot-bootloader". this will return back to bootloader rather than having to reboot, power off, and then press the buttons to get to bootloader.
hope this helps.
Awesome post. It definitely will come in handy. One question, at what point should I create a backup image via twrp? Is it before section 3 step 7?

Download the file www.viperforandroid.com install goto menu set as expert ui under ui setting open viper4android check on click box click appropriate sound changer so it sounds right to u I suggest doing on headphones than use thoose settings as base settings for phone bt ect.. The the real good sound comes in under conolover files you must download impulse response files or. Irs files dfx_pro_surround_2.irs, Dolby,, dfx ect. After u download you unzip and using a file manager find unzipped file and goto sd card u will see viper4android folder inside that folder you will see 2 other folders one being kernel place irs files in kernel folder. Now when you click impulse response you will have the audio producing files. Like Dolby digital cinema, stereo, HD. Ect there are hundreds I'll post my walk though install video

Thanks for the help.
After I got stuck, I downloaded and installed KingRoot. It successfully rooted my phone. I downloaded two different root checkers and they confirmed. Everything works correctly within Rom Toolbox Pro now, I can remove apps (stupid NFL mobile, Amazon, etc). My software status says "Modified". I did not need to format or anything like that. Is that normal? My only issues are with XBlast Tools and SuperSU, when I change a setting in XBlast, it does NOT get updated. Even after a reboot. In SuperSU cannot update binaries for some reason.
I cannot post outside links for screen shots yet.
I am using moto x style and unlocked bootloader with 'Windroid Universal Android Toolkit' v2.5 but cannot flash TWRP and root this apl. Today I tried flash TWRP and then root but after showing 'Congratulation' pop up,my phone stucked on 'No command' page. I tried twice and same result. Later i check there is either no TWRP or root by SuperSU. And i see youtube video and and read many XDA forum and comments and most of the users says the phone stuck on M logo page when reboot after the root process. And all says its a issue with Marshmallow. And most of the xda posts and youtube video are made during 5.1.1 so there is no problem in that video during flash TWRP and root. So i need a seamless process to flash TWRP and root on Marshmallow so that it doesnot stuck on M logo. And I dont want to downgrade to L for root. And unluckily if it stuck M logo thwn what to do to go back to home screen?Thank you.

My build no is 24.49-18-4. So is this process suitable for this build no? And still i dont flash TWRP. I tried with "Windroid Universal Android Toolkit app" to flash TWRP. though it showed a 'Successful' pop up but it didn't. Can I go with any old process to flash TWRP or u have a new process?

Step 1 - Stop using toolkits! They rarely work right on modern Android devices. With the Moto the only safe, reliable way to root is manually.
I don't know what the 'old way' is to flash TWRP your referring to here... I recommend one time booting twrp with "fastboot boot twrp.img" command (replace twrp.img with your actual twrp image file) then perform a backup to the SD card or USB OTG device and put it away for safe keeping. Then flash twrp either with twrp you have booted, or manually with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
The rooting method I linked before is valid for all Marshmallow builds, if you have Lollipop or Nougat you need to find a different method.

On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
I am saying about this official method which is on twrp.me site. And after typing 'fastboot reboot' what I have to do to go home page? Sorry to ask u so many things. Actually I am totally new in this thing and very much worry after facing issues 2-3 times. And thank u very much for fast reply.
One more ques, I have unlocked bootloader with that "Windroid Universal Android Toolkit". Now in fastboot it shows 'bootloader unlocked,code 3' is that ok? As u say toolkit doesnot work on modern devices.

So Moto is a tad different... After you flash recovery, do not reboot with fastboot, instead use the Vol Dn key select Recovery and press Power to start it. When the splash screen comes up, allow changes to system, then I the TWRP main menu select Reboot - Recovery, the device will start TWRP again and it should be "locked" in. From there perform the rooting.

That mean after typing fastboot flash recovery twrp.img press enter and then i can plug off the usb keeping my device on fastboot then changes to recovery and do the rest?
Btw suppose if i dont want to root it at that time,then what i do? I mean just after flash recovery how to go to home screen without rooting?
And when i want to perform root process later,after installing SuperSU zip if I press power button and vol down then may I go to twrp recovery or ph stock recovery?

You don't need to root if your going CM, flash TWRP, backup, and flash CM. You don't need to over complicate it.
If you boot (not flash) TWRP and backup then get a copy to safe place there is little risk of anything going wrong.

Ok. But is there any regular chance of going wrong during flash TWRP or flash CM? I backed up all internal important data to external sd card and when I perform these process I just remove that sd from phone.
You pls tell me how to go to home screen after flashing TWRP?
And if I need to root it later then also what to do then? I mean if then I press power and vol minus then will I get TWRP recovery to root it or it will be redirectred to phone custom recovery?

There is always a chance of something going wrong, no one can guarantee everything will be fine. We have had people do everything perfectly but something happens and it's bricked... It's rare but does happen.
After you flash TWRP in the bootloader, press Vol Dn until it says Recovery and press power to start it, after several seconds you will get a screen that will ask if it can write to system, select yes, the next screen will be the TWRP home screen.
Once you flash TWRP, your stock recovery is gone, but you access it the same way... Power off, press and hold PWR+Vol Dn and in the bootloader menu select Recovery and press power.

Your last two are redundant, either flash or boot, you don't have to do both, but each has a purpose... Flash is permanent, boot is transient and will disappear on a reboot.
Boot TWRP first, the first time it will not take you to the main page initially but show you a notification page asking if you want allow it to make changes to the system or keep it read-only, this time only do not allow changes... Then the main screen of TWRP will be displayed and you should do a full backup of all partitions to the SD card.
Flash will just write the recovery partition, it doesn't start anything, you select recovery from the fastboot menu to start it.

So after "fastboot boot twrp.img" i have to allow to make changes and have to do a nandroid backup. After that will I get option to "Reboot?"
And later when I went to recovery I will get twrp page instead of stock recovery? 1st I think I should flash cm13 then root then upgrade to 14.1 bcz still a feel little worry to root it on stock rom.

No, almost every part of what your saying is wrong...
Boot twrp and do not allow changes first time and backup. This will give a clean backup to restore from if things go badly.
After this is complete, in TWRP go to Reboot menu and select Bootloader, flash TWRP, do not reboot but use the bootloader menu to start TWRP. This time allow it to make changes to system. At the main menu if twrp go to Reboot - Recovery the device will restart and TWRP will load automatically, this step will lock in twrp so the stock OS doesn't replace it.
You only need to root stock rom, you don't need to root CM roms as they are already rooted (there are a few roms that are not pre-rooted but they are rare and none of the ones your talking about). As far as CM 13 vs 14.1 I can't really help you but from I've read both are stable enough for a daily driver device.

After typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' i switch to recovery and select it. But it shows recovery failed,bla bla in red colour. I tried 3 times but same result. What to do? now again when I go to the recovery,i see still it is the stock recovery.
*After I wrote this whole thing as a DM i figured it might be helpful for a couple of people that are struggeling to root and install a custom recovery on their d722.*
Before we start you will need a PC with internet connection and a USB cable.
If you get stuck or need something about the device you can find it here. It's an XDA thread about the d722, it's mods, roms... : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
First you will need to flash your phone back to 4.4 kitkat firmware to ensure maximum compatibility (this is the only way my device would root) ( find it here: https://lg-firmwares.com/ (type in your model and download a 4.4 firmware closet to your region, language...)). We will do that with the lg flash tool (find it here: https://lgflash.com/download/) + also install lg drivers if you don't have them already (https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560).
1. First enable developer options in phone settings by tapping the build number 7 times. Go to the developer options and there tick usb debugging. Than you want to turn you device off. Hold volume up and plug it into you computer. You will get into download mode. On your PC extract and open the lg flash tool. There you will chose your kdz firmware file you downloaded previously and click normal fash. Choose other instead of korean and your preferred language. When you flash it the tool might report an error but just ignore it and wait for the phone to reach 100% download. It will reboot itself when finished. After that you can close the flash tool and continue to the next step.
2. Now you will root your phone. You will do that with lg one click root (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951). Download the latest GUI version, install it onto your PC and open it. When your redy plug your phone into the computer (turned on no apps open) and click start. Wait for it to be done. It's normal for it to restart a few times.
3. Now we will instal the custom recovery to be able to flash ROMs. To do that you will need to dowbload this zip file from here and extract it with 7zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61220755&postcount=100) and install ADB (remeber install folder) (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979). Paste aboot file into /sdcard folder (or folder of choice with adjusted path in command) ob your phone uding file manager. Than open CMD and type in
cd *path of your folder*
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
If you get an error that says there is no aboot file or something similar than you nees to change this command : dd if= *your phones path*/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot For me it was : dd if=/external_SD/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
4. This should have installed a basic version of TWRP on your phone ane booted into twrp recovery but we will be updating it.
To get into recovery from off state hold volume down + power button until you see the LG logo. Relese both for a split second and hold both down again (volume down + power) until you see an option to factory reset (wont actualy reset anything if you did all steps correctly). Click yes and yes again by using volume and power buttons and you will be booted to TWRP.
Alternative is to go to playstore and download root app that boots you to recovery if you do it often.
This version is quite old and not capable of flashing newer ROMs so we will be flashing an updated version (download it here: https://vasy.ru/TWRP/jagnm/ and rename it to .img if it isnt named like that alredy). Easiest way is to download it to your PC and transfer it via USB if your PC detects the phone while in TWRP. If not boot it up transfer the files and boot back to recovery. Now just flash the .img file and reboot.
5. At this point you have root privilages (super SU) and a custom recovery. Now all theres left to do is to flash ROMs and mods.
You boot to TWRP recovery, connect your phone to the PC and transfer the .zip files you want to flash. Tha you click flash in twrp chose your ROM files and click add more, your GAPPS click add more and the mod (if you want to try it of course). Than you flash them, wair for it to finish and click reboot.
If it takes longer than 15 min+ than you probaboy have a bootloop. To fix it take out the battery put it back in and boot into recovery (volume down + power until LG logo pops up, release for half a second hold again, yes and yes). Try factory reseting (type yes). And than just flash the ROM and boot. If it boots go back to recovery and flash GAPPS and mod and it should normaly boot into android.
If nothing fixes your issue you can alway use the firmware and lgflashtool to go back to default unrooted kitkat or lolipop.
My recomendations:
I personaly use this liniage (14.1) 7.1 ROM as it's still getting updates (I also tried 8.1 but it's buggy, laggy and gapps don't work):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/cyanogenmod-14-1-lg-g3s-t3508224
And of course you want google apps to go along with it:
https://opengapps.org/ (pick ARM, android version of ROM (7.1 in this case) and how many preinstalled apps (I use nano))
I also have this mod installed which makes colours of your display a bit better:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/6z9yg1d3gooyz37/Sony_Bravia_3.zip
From here you can also get Exposed framework, root apps like LSpeed to speed up your phone even more, greenfy and amplify to improve battery life. Again every mod for this phone along with overclocking and other mods is or was discussed here at one point so dont be afraid to join the conversation in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
And ofcourse google is your friend if you get into any issues. Hope this helps, typed it on my G3s .
Thanks

It would be better for our phone to release an android 9 custom, it would be great. Here is the same phone as our processor and video accelerator. Android 9 would work great on our phone https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=633150&view=findpost&p=36961339
Thanks for the guide!
I bought a G3s D722 cheap off ebay to experiment with. I tried to flash four different kitkat roms many times on 2 computers and each time the phone went into boot loop (start tune and logo over and over) so I flashed the first UK Lollipop on the list and all went fine, there are not UK kitkat roms in the link.
The UK kitkat roms must be different is all I can determine anyone know where I can get one?
The preflash OS was V20e-EUR-XX and now its V20d
Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?
Thanks!
I couldn't get this to work so tried the very easy no PC method in the link and it works great!

Magisk+TWRP for Exynos ONLY
Hi, there are some tutorials out here on the forum but some are outdated, others have dead links and other mix some steps from exynos and snapdragon, so this is a guide on how I did it, My device is the International Exynos LTE Dual sim variant or SM-N985F-DS running android 11 (oneUI 3.1) patch from april 2021 with security patch from may 2021 but this has been tested on many exynos variants.
See DR.Ketan post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-root-n20-ultra-n986b-n9860.4147023/
I based my guide on @dr.ketan 's guide and some bits from the comments and references from that post, so all credit goes to him and the people he reference on his post.
First of all as dr.ketan said:
NOTICE :
Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
- Your warranty will be void
- Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with un rooting, some may never.
- All your data on device will be lost
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually soft but can be hard brick too) your device, so follow it on your own risk!
If you are ready with condition, move further -

1.- BACK UP ALL OF YOUR DATA, copy your files to a PC, make backups on google and samsung clouds and any other cloud service backup you have (whatsapp for example) becuase in this process all data is wiped TWICE.
2.- Prepare your PC:
I personally recommend using a laptop or a pc with an UPS (backup battery) just to be safe.
2.1 Create a folder fo the files and create 2 folders inside named OLD and NEW (this is merely to keep files organized since they CAN be confused (see next steps), unless said otherwise ALL files and folders go in the OLD folder.
2.2 Download ODIN [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.3 Download YOUR phone stock firmware (you have several options for this, I personally use sammobile but here you have to google on your own. Remember to extract the contents and you should have 5 files.
NOTE(hehe): to get your exact model name you can check on Settings>About phone>Software information>Baseband version.
2.4 Download Magisk APK and ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.5 Download Multidisabler ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.6 Download TWRP recovery [CHECK FILES BELOW] and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1
IMPORTANT: use only THIS recovery from THIS file, since it's modified for exynos and also to skip a step on the process.
3.- Prepare your Phone:
3.1 Copy the AP file from your PC (the one from the stock firmware) and the magisk.apk file you downloaded, to your phone.
3.2 Install the magisk app (the apk file)
3.3 Open the magisk app and select the first option, there you will have an option to select a file, select the AP file you copied from your pc an tap continue (or start I dont remember)
3.4 Now you will have a "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" file on your download folder on your phone, copy that file to your PC and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1.
4.- Now we start the process of modifying the phone
4.1 UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: on your phone go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>SOFTWARE INFORMATION and tap the "Build Number" repeatedly until you see "You are now a developer" (or something similar)
4.2 Go back to SETTINGS and now you will have at the bottom a new menu called "Developer options", enter and toggle on the OEM unlocking option, this will prompt some warnings and an assistant, follow the instructions and when you finish turn off your phone.
4.3 Press and hold the VOL+ and VOL- buttons at the same time and connect the phone to your PC WHILE HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS, this will prompt DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone and you will see 3 options, Press and hold the VOL+ button to unlock the bootloader, now your phone will reboot and wipe all of your data.
4.4 Confirm OEM Unlock is enabled: after the reboot you will get the initial setup process again (as if the phone were new) skip though all (because it will be wiped again) and repeat the process on step 4.1
Now the OEM unlock setting should be GRAYED OUT and with this your phone is ready to be modified
5.- Flashing custom binaries
5.1 Turn off the phone and put it into DOWNLOAD MODE again (see step 4.3) but this time use the first option, that is, press the VOL+ button ONCE, this will enter DOWNLOAD mode and put the phone in flashing state.
5.2 Open ODIN on your PC as administrator
5.3 On the Options tab UNTICK the "Auto Reboot" option
5.4 Click on the AP button and locate the "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" on the "NEW" folder.
5.5 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner
5.6 Click on the AP button again and locate the "Exynos no vbmeta recovery.tar" file on the "NEW" folder.
5.7 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner.
5.8 THIS STEP IS CRITICAL: disconnect your phone from your PC, now READ AHEAD before doing anything.
Here you will have to do a combination of button presses to boot into recovery. Once your phone is disconnected press and hold VOL- and POWER BUTTON (side key) for approximately 7 seconds, once the phone screen goes black immediately release the VOL- button and press the VOL+ button WHILE KEEP PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON. You will see 1 or 2 warning and a glimpse of the samsung logo, keep pressing the buttons until you see the TWRP (Team Win Recovery) splash screen, at this point you can release the buttons.
5.9 now in the recovery navigate to WIPE tab > FORMAT DATA > and type yes to continue (read instructions on screen). DO NOT RESTART. go back to the starting screen and then navigate to REBOOT > REBOOT TO RECOVERY.
5.10 Your phone will reboot into recovery on its own, no need to press any buttons.
5.11 Once inside the Recovery, connect the phone to your PC, after a few seconds the phone will connect normally as if it were in the OS, now copy this files to your phone from your PC:
Magisk.zip
Multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip
5.12 Go to INSTALL tab on your phone and select the multidisabler zip and install it (it will prompt you to swipe to install), once finished tap on WIPE CACHE/DATA.
5.13 Now do the same with magisk.zip but this time DO NOT tap the "wipe cache/data" button, instead tap on REBOOT.
6.- First Boot
NOTE: First boot takes a while but if your phone is not showing the initial setup screen in max 15 minutes something went wrong and you will have to flash back to stock firmware and start over.
6.1 Once you boot do the usual initial setup, here you can do it normally and restore your cloud backups.
6.2 When you are all set up, look for the MAGISK app, open it and follow the instructions. Your phone will reboot so make sure you are all set up BEFORE opening the app.
6.3 ALL DONE!
Hi there,
Thanks for the updated guide!
Maybe worth mentioning that when done, to get back into TWRP power down phone -> connect USB ->press & hold Power AND VOL- until black screen (7sec) -> Quickly press VOL+ with still holding Power button.
Would you know how to update firmware to latest security patches (downloaded from SamMobile for example) now phone is rooted with Magisk, with TWRP recovery and multidisabled?
Regards,
I followed all directions, and Magisk and TWRP are installed. However, I do not have root access. I have an S10e (SM-G970F, Exynos). To get root access, you have to do the bixby, volume up, and power together. I always get to TWRP. When I had only Magisk installed, I always got stock recovery. How do I get the keys correct?
Also, I understand you must have something in the USB port. I tried mostly connected to the computer, sometimes to a charger, and sometimes not at all. Nothing can get Magisk root access unless it boots me to recovery, and then I can just reboot to system (no root) or recovery (same place, still no root).

Only thing I can think of is you are not flashing the correct magisk zip file on TWRP, try downloading it from magisk's official site. Is the same file for the both procedures, you just have to change the file extension accordingly (.apk or .zip)

I tried that file. First, I could not flash with odin 2 recovery.img . I used 7-zip to archive it as .tar, and it still would not flash. I do have an SM-G970F, so it is Exynos. I am not sure of the results, but I did flash with newest twrp-3.5.2_9-5-beyond0lte.img.tar .

After flashing that, it would not boot to recovery but just to download.
Thanks! Worked for me! I have a question:
do you know how to Bypass root detection for bank app?
After I flash Exynos no vbmeta recovery.tar this is the error I get
Couldn't find grp7 symbol in main dtb

I cannot read everything it is so small, so there may be some typos
I found out what I did wrong. I am using SM-G970F (S10e), whereas this forum is for SM-N985F.
Great instructions, though.
Thank you. Just wish I could get root. I cannot because of the updated firmware (August 2021).
Hello, thank you for the guide it worked to root my sm-n986b !

There is just this part that I did differently.
First, to start flashing the twrp at step 5.6 I had to restart the phone in download mode because odin would be stuck at "setup connection" if i tried to flash it just after the file before.
And at step 5.8 I had to keep the phone connected to the PC otherwise it would not boot in recovery menu.
I did all the phone setup and installed "Riru" then "Universal SafetyNet Fix" magisks modules to pass the Safetynet.
I just have one question if someone can tell me if there is a way to not display the bootloader warning message when the phone is booting please.

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 number1.2. Enable USB debugging in Developer Options1.3. 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.imgIf 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, cache3.3.2. flash disable_dm_verity3.3.3. flash multidisabler3.3.4. Wipe internal storage (Backup might be advisable, if you didn't format data anyways)3.3.5. reboot recovery3.3.6. flash chondone with lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.img in the same folder renamed to system.mg3.3.7. Wipe data3.3.8. 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"

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!!!

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!

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 number1.2. Enable USB debugging in Developer Options1.3. 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.imgIf 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, cache3.3.2. flash disable_dm_verity3.3.3. flash multidisabler3.3.4. Wipe internal storage (Backup might be advisable, if you didn't format data anyways)3.3.5. reboot recovery3.3.6. flash chondone with lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.img in the same folder renamed to system.mg3.3.7. Wipe data3.3.8. Reboot
That should be it. First startup takes some time, your phone should boot to LOS 19.
