So basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks
Download the zip file for twrp. Boot into recovery and install the zip

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same happens to me with N910G. There is some write protection going on. Not sure whether KNOX or the bootloader itself is causing this.
Edit: Okay, I've successfully flashed twrp by using a roundabout method which I'll explain below.
1. Gain root using cf-auto root and odin
2. Place twrp.img somewhere on your phone
3. Download flashify
4. Open flashify and grant it root access
5a(optional) Backup your stock recovery
5b. Select recovery and locate twrp.img on your (ext)sdcard
6. Success! reboot into recovery mode to use twrp
Hello all,
This may seem like a stupid question, but I want to make sure that I know what i'm doing before I mess something up and become
So I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900V ovbiously), and it has the tobisha emmc chip
Is the only way to gain root on Marshmallow/Nougat or whatever is by reverting to Lollipop, gaining root access, installing TWRP, and then flashing LineageOS/some ROM?
Directions For Users With CID 11 Toshiba eMMC
1. Download EMMC_11_ Root S5_QB2_PB1.zip
2. Unzip
Copy the following to your External SD card:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and the TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
3. Reboot Phone to Download Mode (Pwr +Vol Dwn+Home)
4. Use Odin 3.12 and load the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_257265 6_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot
5. Flash and let the phone reboot. It will reboot to recovery and finish install then it will reboot and take about 20 seconds to boot.
6. If you do not have an External SD Card, copy the following NOW to your Internal Storage:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and whatever TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
7. Use the File Manager in the app drawer of the phone and install Apex_Lancher.apk press home button and set Apex as the default launcher.
Install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk and SafeStrapKK.apk do not open anything yet.
8. Now Install tr_v2.apk.
Open TowelRoot and CLICK MAKE IT RAIN . It should tell you you have succeeded.
9. Now Open Superuser app and click "New User" to install it.
Once done, open SuperSU and update the SU binaries using the "NORMAL" method. It will tell you you need to reboot. You can skip doing this. (If the Superuser install hangs for more than 5 minutes reboot phone and try to install it again.)
10. Now open the BusyBox app, grant SuperSU access and install BusyBox.
11. Now open SafeStrap, grant SuperSu access and click "install recovery". If the SafeStrap recovery fails to install, make sure BusyBox is installed by rerunning the BusyBox app (it will tell you if BusyBox is installed) if not click "install" again, reboot phone and open SafeStrap and try to install recovery again
12. Once SafeStrap Recovery is installed click "reboot to SafeStrap Recovery".
13. Once in SafeStrap Recovery, choose what firmware you want to be on:
Lollipop 5.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip
Marsmhallow 6.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip
14. Install the firmware zip, and then flash a TouchWiz Lollipop ROM. (Here is the latest stock rooted Lollipop Rom: VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip). You may want to download a copy of the latest SuperSu zip, and flash if installing a Lollipop ROM that is not rooted. Remember, you cannot root Marshmallow ROMs, so do not try and flash the SuperSu zip on a Marshmallow Rom (you will softbrick if you do).
15. After you install any Lollipop ROM, you may need to reinstall SafeStrap Recovery. Most of the time you don't have to and SafeStrap can be reached by flashing the KitKat Kernel in Download Mode with ODIN. But, in some cases, when flashing a ROM that flashes a system.img instead of a system folder, you may lose SafeStrap during install. This will be the case if you install the above ROM. You can reinstall it after the ROM is booted up. A Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk is included that will flash a version of SafeStrap that will allow you to reboot to SafeStrap Recovery without flashing a KitKat kernel in Odin. Install BusyBox again from the BusyBox App in the RootS5 Folder. Install Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk and make sure to grant SuperSU access. It may take a few seconds to prompt. If SafeStrap is not installed, click "Install Recovery". If Safestrap is still installed click on "Uninstall Recovery", close the app, and reopen it. It should say recovery is not installed. Now click on "Install Recovery". If this doesn't work, reboot the phone and try again. Once installed, you can just click reboot to SafeStrap from the SafeStrap app and you will reboot straight to SafeStrap. Remember to flash the appropriate Kernel when leaving SafeStrap!
Download and place these on your device:
LL_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip, and
MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip
If something bad goes wrong you can usually get back to SafeStrap by simply rebooting the phone to Download Mode and flashing NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5. When the phone reboots, watch for the SafeStrap splash screen and enter SafeStrap.
16. Do NOT change ANY boot options in SafeStrap. ROM slots cannot be used, so you must flash to the Stock ROM slot EVERY TIME OR YOU WILL SOFTBRICK. Some functions don't work in SafeStrap, like choosing an image file to flash directly. All image files must be flashed via zip file.

Should the phone must be rooted before instalilng CR or ROOT can be install of the trough CR instalation procedure (eg magic). Thanks
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (I assume that's what you mean by CR). However, a custom recovery is required to flash either Magisk or SuperSU.
Flash a custom recovery using Odin first, then boot into recovery and flash the flashable zip containing a superuser management tool of your choice!
I have installed latest android 10 stock rom. i tried using the magisk manager patch AP file method. i flashed the patched AP file CP BL and Twrp. tar in userdata on Odin.
TWRP 3.4.0.4 is installed but when i boot it gets stuck on samsung boot animation.
i tried flashing magisk zip from twrp and then it continuous bootloops to the Samsung bootloader image.
Do i root first stock and then install later TWRP?
Can anyone list out a short guide how to root Android 10 and aldo have TWRP with it.
I found the solution as
1. Install stock rom
2. follow root guide 1.0
3. Patch AP file with magisk manager
4. Download TWrRP App from playstore
4. Root stock rom
5 Install Twrp with the method in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s5e/how-to/instal-twrp-p-c-galaxy-tab-s5e-sm-t720-t4072231.
6. Now I have stock rom rooted with latest twrp.
By the way also fixed device signature modified with magisk prop and busybox module and editing build prop to match device fingerprint error.
