LOS is pretty good on both fronts, Pure Fusion seems to be based on AOSP, good battery life; Nuclea was pretty good too.
Read EVERYTHING or you may DFU brick your phone (disassembly required) or even wipe your IMEIs. Remember that your phone model is the one on the back of the phone, NOT NECESSARILY the one that the system says!
For custom ROMs you'll need the UNIVERSAL BOOTLOADER, your corresponding MODEM FILE, an image of TWRP 3.1.1-0, and MAGISK on your phone. Reboot only after flashing everything, and after flashing the Universal Bootloader, select Install Image and select the TWRP image, then flash it to the recovery partition

To install any custom ROM you first need to flash the A2017X_Universal_Bootloader.zip, then flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 (the universal bootloader installs an old version of TWRP which will appear after a reboot, you simply overwrite it by flashing the TWRP.img) then the modem file for your own model (for example A2017G_Modem.zip), then the ROM, then Magisk_14.3.zip.
The A2017X_Universal_Bootloader.zip and the modem files are in the LOS thread.

Don't know about any guides, but basically read the posts entirely before actually trying to do anything. The axon7toolkit is nice and all but you just shouldn't use it for flashing stuff. If you have TWRP, you can simply forget about the toolkit for pretty much everything.
To install a ROM you have to use the Install button on TWRP. If you have an error 7 it probably means that your TWRP version is old, check that and install the latest TWRP image if that happens.
If the ROM asks for a pin on startup, go to Wipe then Advanced then Format data
Hi guys,
First, English isn't my first language so, sorry if it hurts your eyes :/
Second, I'm new to TWRP / root etc... (since yesterday) and I don't fully understand the exact meening of all words like flash / rom etc...
So: I'm actually blocked in the "Your device can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader". Apparently it's a normal screen now, when we boot we always see this. OK ( at least that's what I read)
My volume keys aren't doing anything and I can't access my phone anymore.
I can access TWRP if I want.
Thx for responding :good:
Adb & fastboot still recognize your device ?
If yes flash twrp as recovery with fastboot and boot into it with fastboot.

How can I know if ADB recognize my phone?
I can access TWRP so I don't need to flash it again ? Is there a difference between just flash TWRP and flash TWRP with fastboot ?
Sry, my bad, i miss read that you can access twrp, sry, I thought you can't, what happens if you flash a rom, which twrp is installed, what were your steps that you end stuck on bootloader message ?
Edit: if your issue is that you don't know how to start flashing, read the Los thread and follow the op.
Instructions:
1. Install the Universal bootloader and your model specific modem.Failure to do so will not allow flashing the ROM!
2. Update recovery [Recommended -> Official TWRP for Axon7
3. Factory reset if coming from another ROM.
4. Install ROM
5. Install GApps (optionally) [Recommended -> Open GApps (arm64) (7.1) 2017-02-01 or Newer
Download all files from the thread and put them on to your microsdcard, if your twrp is up to date you don't have to do this again. Flash the zip files in the order of the instructions, just press install at twrp and choose the zips, you can add multiple and flash them together.
Man, trust me, I'm not a lazy man and all I want is to have my phone back even if it's stock
I don't understand what you're trying to make me do, sincerely
If you can give me a link where I can have a guide steps by steps or make this guide for me that would be the best thing of my day...
... I really need to wait wtf
update: I wipe all my phone data
I no longer have TWRP installed but the "basic" android recovery
(with those option when you start it:
Reboot system now
reboot to bootloader
apply update from adb
.
.
.
Power OFF)
I'm such a **** wtf
I really don't know your issue, except you seem not to read enough. What guide you want ? How I flash a custom rom to my phone ? How to use twrp ?Why you unlocked your bootloader ? How did you manage to have the stock recovery back ?
I have to guess what you want and what you already did . If you need a guide, here are severals in the guide section.

So you are stuck with stock recovery and not TWRP? If so I would find a guide to "flash" or install TWRP in what is called EDL mode.
If you can do that, you then need to:
boot directly into TWRP and wipe dalvik, system, data, and cache.
Then install universal boot loader and modem for your device. (A2017G)
Next install latest TWRP img found on https://TWRP.me
And lastly reboot into recovery again and install Rom (version of Android you want to try) and any other modifications you want (kernel, gapps, magisk, etc.)
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. Good luck!

What? You can flash the ROM after flashing the universal bootloader, then also flash TWRP via itself, and you'll stay on the latest...
Rebooting without a ROM is bad. just bad. even rebooting to recovery. that's how i got my dfu brick

I am not 100% sure what you are saying. But yeah, sure. Flash the Rom after the universal bootloader and modem. Then flash twrp. Then reboot.
If you think that is better for OP then that works. I haven't ever had the problem of rebooting to recovery without a rom installed but you're right that it probably is safer.
I only suggested that because the TWRP that comes with the real old universal bootloader on LOS thread is also very old. So, flashing a rom with the new version I thought would be best to avoid errors. Thanks!

The thing is, after you flash the universal bootloader, the TWRP on the sd gets replaced. but the TWRP that you are using is loaded in RAM. So even if you install a TWRP version you'll stay in the version you flashed before until you reboot. If you install the universal bootloader and then install the TWRP img you'll keep everything as-is on the next reboot. I discourage rebooting without a system especially on a G because any interruption might lock the phone in DFU. On an a2017U that wouldn't be a problem because the phone boots into edl if any software error is present
Hi guys,
i have a P9 Lite and unlocked my bootloader today. i installed twrp (3.1.0-0) and everything was without problems, but when i installed supersu.zip it didnt boot anymore. i can still access twrp. I tried flashing another rom (lineage 14), but still, no boot. can you please tell me what to do, or what files and infos you need to be able to help me?
thank you very much
update: for whatever reason i cant even access twrp now. im loosing my mind :/
update 2: i managed to go back to stock via dload/update.app. so this question is for me no longer relevant at the moment
Hello. When I try doing a Backup in TWRP, I get the error shown in the attachment.
Can anyone help me with this?
Looks like TWRP never decrypted the data partition on your phone.
You need to include a lot more information if you expect people to be able to help you.
What version of TWRP are you using?
What version of OOS or are you on a custom ROM?
Did the backups ever work before?
Did TWRP ask you for your Password/Pin/Pattern when it booted?
Hello and thanks for responding.
TWRP: Bluespark 3.2.3
OOS: 9.0.13 (I just rooted, no custom ROM installed)
This is my first time trying to backup.
TWRP didn't ask me for a pin/password when I first ran it*
* I think
Thanks for the additional information, it definitely helps to see what could be wrong. I hope I didn't come off with the wrong tone in my message.
It looks like you might be using an old version of TWRP that does not support the decryption of internal storage.
Try the one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
Use the link that says "TWRP 3.3.1-6 Unofficial Installer by mauronofrio"
If you have an otg cable you can put the file on a flash drive and flash that way. Otherwise you will have to follow the install guide section in the first post I linked.
Let me know if that works for you.
Oh dear.
I followed the install guide here (without issue): https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
And after, when I try to boot the phone normally, it boots to recovery and asks for the pin. After I enter the pin I'm just in recovery. I can't seem to get back to a normal boot.
Ok, I flashed Magick and now I think I'm good.
Thanks for your help! I can now do backups.

Okey people... i'm going to tell you what I was doing and what happened:
1 step I downloaded Kingroot for active Root
2 step I downloaded TWRP apk on my 330nu
3 step I flashed "milletwifi_boot.img" on Recovery
4 step Now my tablet freezes when cames to "Samsung Logo"
So.... i readed many many pages to be sure of how to install a custom ROM and etcetera... material for 330nu is very insignificant.

Subscribe to Samsung Tab 4 Discussion group. Lots of info.
Matteo0026 has released a working TWRP.
You probably flashed the faulty version.
Links to working TWRP for T330 Millet WIFI all available and it works. I have T330 and can tell you it works great.
Cheers

make sure you're using the right TWRP recovery, flash the .tar recovery, the TWRP team updated their TWRP to 3.0.0.0 use the latest one and make sure you use it as AP in odin

Why you flashed boot.img on recovery? Of course it doesn't boot. Go to my thread, download my TWRP and flash it in Odin.
