Guys im kinda newbie. But before installing the custom roms i took a backup of all the partitions (mm rom), so my question is can i just use twrp to restore those instead of flashing mm ( still in cm 14.1 )

Yes you can restore the backup you have made using TWRP and you will see the same setup and data of MM as you left it.
Flashing will make your device just as new like out of the box.

Yes by doing so you are downgrading the OS.
You didn't flashed the soak test, right? As you stated that you made a backup of MM so I think you flashed the CM14.1 from the MM. So if you didn't flashed the soak test then you're good to go without any issue.

I am also new to this device so not much sure but for a safe side you should downgrade by flashing stock firmware via adb. And as far as I read and watched the videos on youtube there is not any issue to downgrade to MM if you have unlocked bootloader.
As being an XDA user we always know the risks. Good luck.

G900F CM13 Starting Apps

I tried to install different versions of cm13 ( official and unofficial) on my galaxy s5. I did everything I was supposed to do but every time after I install or wipe the app optimisation starts and it stays stuck at starting apps. I'm very confused right now so any if anyone can help me I would be grateful.

Thanks! Before odin-flashing back to Lollipop, may I just confirm: does the new bootloader allow downgrading this time? Thanks in advance.

I have the G900F and have successfully flashed the new MM BL, then back to the old LP BL and then back up to MM again, so yes as long as your bootloader is unlocked in the first place, shouldn't have a problem
Also flashed from LP to KK and back to LP again

Revert to 6.0.1 from 7.1.1

Is it possible to rollback to 6.0.1 from 7.1.1?
Ps- I have an unlocked bootloader.
If you have twrp recovery then you can install any 6.01 debloated or full ROM available here as zip files, it is not possible to flash an official 6.01 ROM through fastboot or rsd, it may brick your device.
Please stay in Nougat...
Many people (include me) when downgrade the version.
The phone is dead and without solution...
I buy a new phone.
there is a form to downgrade but its not 100% out of brick.... if you are in official 7.1.1 you have to put another rom.... like lineage or aex ... 7.1.1 then downgrade with a custom rom 6.0.1... later install with fastboot the offcial 6.0.1. plz DONT DOWNGRADE FROM OFFICIAL 7.1.1 TO 6.0.1 (i havent test that... but some people says that it work).
You can try unless you dont want to had brick your device.. Boot loader might have got upgraded along with OS and when u downgrade, even boot loader will be downgraded and it gets corrupted..

Hey Shibin_1985, Before installing official 7.1.1 using fastboot, I made a backup of 6.0.1 using TWRP. I now have 7.1.1 running with TWRP. Can I restore 6.0.1 backup?

U can downgrade to 6.0.1 with in twrp.. No matter u downgrade from stock 7.1.1 or from twrp 6.0.1, boot loader is gonna get downgraded when flashing via adb.. More than 150 devices are hard bricked due to download grading.. Once bricked, there is no other way to get it back to life except jtag emmc flashing (if in India) or to change Mother board which is almost half the price of new MXP.. My bro downgraded MXP and my device was dead for around 2 months.. Later on i got it Jtag flashed from Pune.. There is no Blank flash files available for MXP yet.. So beware.. !!! Don't just mess up a working device, when there is not much solutions to bring it back to life !
Phone is heating :/
Hey friends! My phone is HEATING very much and idk if thats the reason... But i made the same, install a 7.1.1 version and now im in dotOS rom but the same thing happens with any rom...
Does anyone feel the same?

U'll be doing a mistake if u try to downgrade from Nougat 7.1.1 to Marshmallow 6.0.1.. And heating could be of various reasons.. Check the running of background apps, use custom kernels and see ot you can also try battery saving scripts.. It may turn of few cores and will turn it back only when it's required to be on.. So device wont get heated up and consumes less battery..
My XT1563 is no longer recognized by any PC after update to 7.1.1, also turbopower not working, tried different pcs, different cables, hard reset, nothing happens, anyone succeded to downgrade?? anyways... i won't be able to downgrade or flash, or anything if my phone is no longer recognized by any PC ! OMG !!

Try reinstalling all the drivers of PC.. Try if its recognizing phone in bootloader mode.. It'll show if usb is connected.. If that isnt working, then youtlr micro usb port might got damaged.. I have the same case.. My mobile is getting charged.. But not getting connected in USB mode.. Out of 5 pins only 2 is required for charging and rest 3 are required for USB to work.. Any damage of any 1 pin might mess up the port.. I have to replace the port now.
Has anyone managed to do it? I can not stand my x play in 7.1, I feel it will stop so slow

Don't do it via adb.. You can use 6.0.1 ROMs with in TWRP.. Else you'll end up in hard brick and there is no solution to fix it other than changing Mother Board or to get the EMMC jtag flashed.

Flash twrp and flash roms of your choice.. Just don't downgrade using adb.. You'll regret it 200%
Hello, in my case the patient is XT1562 with stock Nougat. So far I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP from here. Then, I downloaded stock XT1562 6.0.1 MPD24.107-52 Europe from here. I tried to install it through TWRP but it says 'Invalid zip file format'. After some research it seems that it's not possible to install stock by custom recovery.
To the point then - How to flash stock 6.0.1 if using adb will brick the device? By fastboot?

Those are stock images. You can't flash them through TWRP. You can extract it and flash the system.img but idk how to do that.

Flashing Stock ROM of MM by adb (downgrading) will hard brick the device for 100%.. Once bricked, there is no solution to fix it other than changing Mother Board or Jtag Flashing (only very few does it in very few countries).. You can download twrp flashable MM ROM file and flash it.. You can find Debloated stock ROM's in xda.

Try flashing some other rom ... i'd suggest aex or bootleggers ..

Ok follow this thread

ASUS upgraded the firmware for our device recently ... follow this so you get on the latest bootloader (which i'm guessing you have unlocked)
then try wiping then flashing then hit me again if problem arises

Incomplete link man is that back2stock? What firmware you on before flashing roms? Firmware might be the issue here.

2018? Im on stock rom already flashed through stock recovery. I flashed those custom roms on latest 2196 firmware also tried that on older firmwares still no luck
ok then try this ... use adb sideload to install the rom .. google it its pretty easy to do .. then tell me what happens
i tried all custom roms and my phone was fully dead but i managed to get it alive again
here's the solution
after installing any custom rom
go to mount and mark on system
then go to file manager from setting in twrp
open system>etc>firmware then delete the first three folders, i have stock rom now i can't remember wat exactly it's name
enjoy your rom

Hello!

After owning many devices, the time has come this one passes onto my hands, albeit a temporary device, I'll keep it as long as it's functional.
So hello everyone.
Gonna see how to unlock bootloader, flash twrp and most likely RR ROM.
If anyone has any recommendations for roms kernels bugs and anything else a new owner should be aware they'd be appreciated greatly.

R u dev?
So what ur device? Rn3 pro(Kenzo) or Rn3 pro SE(kate) ?
If u can unlock kenzo officially using miunlock tool. Then U r lucky.
But if u want to unlock bootloader unofficially then better do it on recent miui marshmallow rom. Dont do it on lollipop miui.
Latest oreo or pie custom rom need marshmallow miui9 or miui10 bootloader to boot roms. Lollipop miui bootloader cant boot latest custom rom.

No dev, got knowledge though, been flashing since Galaxy S, android 2.1. :silly:
I unlocked using one of the noob guides, flashed latest twrp, but I can't boot any room, it hangs at boot animation.
Hmm.
Any clues?

I think U didnt do format data in twrp. Thats why ur some rom are not booting. There is option format data. Miui encrypts ur data and internal sd by default. So format data must do to decrypt it.
First format data is must do.
Then u do wipe data factory reset
Then flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
Pretty nice, way better than I expected for the 70€ I paid!
Latest RR+Agni kernel.
Sound and display became better as well.

Upgrade G5 Plus

Hi I have a G5+ US version phone. I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I want to upgrade to the latest OTA. Where can I get the OTA, and what is the procedure with an unlocked and rooted phone? See screen shots of about phone.
TIA

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.
