Hello,
I have some difficulty understanding the tutorials on how to simply install a custom Android Oreo ROM along with GApps. I noticed there are some differences between them which confuses me.
I have a non-rooted Samsung S4 i9505 with the stock Samsung Touchwiz. I don't have any SD card and I want to install the custom ROM without a PC.. Here are my questions:
1. Tutorials say that I have to root my device before installing a custom ROM while people in threads say that it is not needed. Do I have to root the device or not?
2. Is the next step to unlock bootloader?
3. Do I then have to install TWRP? Or is it not necessary and do I simply have to put the ROM's and GApp's .zip files in the internal memory of my phone and boot into recovery mode?

1- Does your phone have a locked or unlocked bootloader?
2- You don't need root to install a custom rom.
3- You need to install a custom recovery like "TWRP" or "PhilzTouch".
4- External storage like SD Card or OTG USB is recommended but not must.
None of the Samsung s4 phones have a locked bootloader except the s4 sold by USA carriers.
I do not recommend using Philz to flash a custom ROM as Philz is based on CWM and CWM has not been updated for years.
Does the USB port work on the phone? Is it recognized by a PC when connected?

Thanks for the reply. How do I check if the bootloader is unlocked? And how to install TWRP?

It is recognised by the PC yes. I have to make sure the bootloader is unlocked but I don't know how.
If you have a GT-i9505, the bootloader is not locked. Using software to unlock the bootloader will probably hard brick the phone. Google XDA and you will find further answers to your question.
Regardless of whether the bootloader is or is not locked, there is always a risk that flashing software to the phone can cause it to brick.

Yes PhilzTouch is outdated but i'm still using it on 7.x without any problems.

1- What's your phone model?
2- Can you insert any sim card without any problem? If yes it means it's unlocked.
3- Download TWRP for your device model.
4- Download Odin.
5- Go to download mode on your phone.
6- Connect phone to pc .
7- Open Odin and select PDA.
8- Locate and select the "TWRP" file.
9- Select Start.
10- Wait phone to reboot.
It's good that you are able to use CWM/Philz. I used it on my s2 and s3 for a while. When I moved to the s4, I switched to TWRP since many ROM developers recommend using TWRP to flash. I then moved to the s6 for a little and then the s7.

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. After that, should I put the Custom ROM and the Gapps in the internal memory (any folder?) and then put the phone into recovery mode? Or does the TWRP already bring you to the installation after the reboot (your step 10)?

Yes, put them in any folder you prefer. The phone will only reboot to the os, even if it reboots to the recovery i recommend going into recovery manually. After that clear data/data & cache & system, then install the zips and reboot.

So these are basically all the mentioned steps?
1. Make sure the phone is recognised by the PC via USB
2. Download TWRP for your device model.
3. Download Odin.
4. Go to download mode on your phone.
5. Connect phone to pc .
6. Open Odin and select PDA.
7. Locate and select the "TWRP" file.
8. Select Start.
9. Wait phone to reboot.
10. Put the Custom ROM and GApps in any folder of the internal
memory that you prefer
11. Manually reboot into recovery mode (hold ON/OFF, Home and Volume Down button all at once)
12. Clear data/data & cache system
13. Install the Custom ROM and then GApps.
Are these steps alltogether correct?
(Another question, is it not possible to flash with a Custom ROM and Gapps without using a PC at all?)

This guide shows you how to root and install a ROM.
I am NOT responsible for bricked devices or dead sd cards etc.
Hi,
Today i'm going to show you how to root and update your Galaxy S.
In this guide we flash custom kernel and rom.
But first, remember the drivers http://www.filefactory.com/file/3nhyqmo40111/n/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip
Now the rooting part.
1.Download Semaphore kernel http://semaphore.gr/downloads Choose the first one. (Semaphore_2.7.4.tar)
2. It may look like a zip file but it is not. So do not extract the tar file.
3. Open Odin (if you don't have it download it from http://ul.to/o2xcp01n )
4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off
5. Make sure you have drivers.
6. Put your phone to download download mode. To do that press vol down + home + power.
7. Now your phone should be in download mode. Plug it to computer (make sure odin is still open)
8. Click PDA tab and choose Semaphore_2.7.4.tar.
9. Click start
10. Wait
11. Wait more and then there should read Success! in odin
12. Now you can disconnect the phone.
13. Finish!
Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!
First you need to download a ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod because it is popular, it has many features and it is stable. Here's the link http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/49867/cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
1. Download the ROM.
2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card
3. Download gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
4. Put it to your phone's sd-card
5. Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Wipe cache
8. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
9. Install zip from sd-card
10. Choose zip from sd-card
11. Select cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
12. Confirm
13. Wait
14. Wait more
15. Wait even more
16. Go back
17. Don't reboot
18. Install zip from sd-card
19. Choose zip from sd-card
20. Choose gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
21. Confirm
22. Wait
23. Reboot
Now it's ready! You made it! You rooted and updated your phone. Be proud!
This is not correct guide.

Hi,
Today i'm going to show you how to root and update your Galaxy S.
In this guide we flash custom kernel and rom.
First you need to be sure that you have 2.3.6 XXJW4.
You can check it by going to settings > about phone > and there's baseband version.
If you have JW4 you can skip to rooting part.
If you don't have JW4, you need to flash it.
Installing JW4
1. You need the drivers. For 32 bit(x86) Windows http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml and for 64 bit(x64) Windows
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
2.Download the firmware http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
3. Then you need extract the downloaded file I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip (from step 2) to any folder, you will get these 2 files:
JW4_JW4_JW4.tar
SS_DL.dll (ignore this file)
4. Download Odin which we will be using to flash XXJW4 on the phone. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?06v1nznuk3ng7gw
5. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Then switch it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
6. Boot into recovery. To do this, press and hold the Volume_UP + Home + Power till the screen turns on, then let them go. You will boot into recovery soon enough.
7. Then, use the volume keys to navigate and the home/power key to select options, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm. After the data wipe is complete, remove and re-insert the battery, but don’t power it back on.
8. Put the Galaxy S in Download Mode. To do that press and hold these keys together: Volume down + Home + Power until a screen saying Download Mode comes up.
9. Open Odin (downloaded in step 4) — Odin3 v1.7.exe.
10. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added!!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed.
11. Now, in Odin, click the PDA Tab, and select the file JW4_JW4_JW4.tar
12. Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 11.
13. Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your phone will automatically reboot, upon which you can unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck at some stage and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, do this — disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 9. Same if you get a FAIL message in Odin.
14. Finish!
Now the rooting part.
1.Download CF-Root http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip
2. Unzip the file and you get a tar file. It may look like a zip file but it is not. So do not extract the tar file.
3. Open Odin (if you don't have it download it from section 4 in installing part)
4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off
5. Make sure you have drivers (JW4 installing section 1)
6. Put your phone to download download mode. To do that press vol down + home + power.
7. Now your phone should be in download mode. Plug it to computer (make sure odin is still open)
8. Click PDA tab and choose CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar.
9. Click start
10. Wait
11. Wait more and then there should read Success! in odin
12. Now you can disconnect the phone.
13. Finish!
Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!
First you need to download a ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod because it is popular, it has many features and it is stable. Here is link http://get.cm/get/3qH
1. Download the ROM.
2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card
3. Download gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
4. Put it to your phone's sd-card
5. Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Wipe cache
8. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
9. Install zip from sd-card
10. Choose zip from sd-card
11. Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip
12. Confirm
13. Wait
14. Wait more
15. Wait even more
16. Go back
17. Don't reboot
18. Install zip from sd-card
19. Choose zip from sd-card
20. Choose gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
21. Confirm
22. Wait
23. Reboot
Now it's ready! You made it! You rooted and updated your phone. Be proud!

here are the reason:
1. While installing jw4 in step 6 you have ask to boot in recovery and recovery only available when you have flashed a kernel which supports it.
2. If i already have recovery them why i should flash jw4 again and then again root it and flash the ics.
3. You have asked to put rom in internal sdcard and gapps in sdacrd... they should both be in same card else a new user might get confuse.
4. You haven't mention if user ends in bootloop what should he do?
I think this guide is just fine , go make your one if there's a problem^. Good job OP.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I meant to write internal sd card for gapps and my sgs had stock recovery without root.
Have you ever heard about android stock recovery 3e?
And i forgot to write what to do if bootloop And fortunately nobody asked what to do if bootloop and if someone asks, i'll reply and explain what to do.

bakcup /efs
I didn't acutally read the whole thing so I don't know wether it's corret or not, but I think you should definitly advise the user to backup the /efs folder to prevent issues with IMEI/baseband.
(searched your guide for /efs and didn't find it anywhere)

I can create my own guide however did not want to have one more thread on the thing which is already there a lots of time rather than I will spread the already present guides.
boot loop
Hi,
I followed the entire guide and after getting and "Encryption Unsuccessful" -> Reset to Factory, I got a boot loop.
Any ideas on how I could fix this?
Thanks for the guide
Nash
--
UPDATE: Fixed the boot loop but still don't know why it happened. Can you shed a light? Still on 2.3
Thanks!
Nash
Were you flashing the Rom or gapps before getting the encryption error? It's possible that the zip files are corrupted or they have some errors. Try to redownload the files.
Thanks for your reply, but i want to know if that works with my phones stock rom
CF-Root is is available for almost every Samsung SGS stock rom(maybe for every stock rom) so you just need to tell me your baseband and i'll give instructions to do that for your ROM.
What if I still have Froyo installed? Where can I find instructions to upgrade to Gingerbread?
See the ''installing JW4'' section

I have this exact problem...I have followed the instructions to the T, Now my phone is just "bootlooping". Please can you tell me what to do?
Thanks in advance
Factory reset and try flashing again.
Uhh why don't you just suggest an odin flash of Darky's rom, then a CWM flash of CM9 then CM10. That would be a lot quicker and easier to read and explain.
it's a good guide, thanks
Hi ALL,
Good day!
I'm new in an Android Phone and just Rooted my device yesterday using the KingRoot.
I just wondering how to use a custom ROM available here in XDA in my Samsung Note III.
If there's a link on where I can review or follow the procedure, could you please redirect me.
I've already looked/searched for it but unfortunately, I can't get the answers on my own.
thanks in advance!

You choose a custom rom you read and understand the rom and its instructions then flash .
Many roms have how to videos .
Basics
Download the Rom
Enter Recovery Mode
Do a Full Wipe
Install The Rom
Reboot - The first boot can take up to 10 min

TIA!
First step should be install a custom recovery. For example TWRP. You can't install with stock recovery.
Google : twrp for note 3 xda
Then read, read and install it.
Here is the link, you can see video.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245
Find a rom i development forums here and look for instructions there.
Steps....
-1. I am not responsible for any damage caused. This is how I learned and what I taught my friends using Sammy.

3. search download and extract "odin 3.0.9" in a folder in your pc.
4. press Volume Down + Home + Power and get into Download mode (you'll have to press Volume Up if it asks to continue)
5. Now phone will show "Downloading", Run "Odin.exe" from odin folder and Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
6. Odin will detect your phone in blue color in first slot, select the downloaded .tar file in Odin and click start
7. do not disconnect the phone as it will restart.
8. after restarting, remove phone. then shutdown.. press Volume Up + Home + power and get into recovery. (TWRP) (click Reboot System and use as normal)
9. Download your favorite (flashable zip of) ROM, click Wipe (select all in TWRP, will erase all data)
10. After successful wipe, click install, select ROM zip from SD card and follow onscreen instructions.
11. After install, go to Wipe or Advanced Wipe and "Clear Dalvik Cache"
12. Reboot System. Enjoy
It happened to me a lot, but yea let's start.
You might have noticed that the Tab 2 cables die quickly, even tho they should be "high quality".
They start only charging the device slowly as never, and the computer can't even recognize the tablet.
So what do you need to reflash the OS?
1. FlashFire from Chainfire (requires root, on Play Store)
2. Any file manager
[STOCK ROMS]
1. Download the rom you want and move it to your SD card using a file manager. I use FX File Manager, it's good luls
2. In FlashFire, add Wipe and select Cache and leave the other on options turned on.
3. Select the ROM. Voila, should work.
[CUSTOM ROMS]
1. Install the TWRP app
2. Make sure your tab is rooted
3. Install TWRP.
4. Get any rom. I used the 7.1.x one from unlegacy-android.
5. Flash it, clear dalvik, cache and data.
6. Voila, done!
Nice guide, I already did that before

First, go to the link provided https://samsungodin.com/ I would download V310.6 personally.. It must be run in a Windows Enviorment IE. Win 7, Win 10 etc. Put you phone into download mode Volume down, home button, the power button all at the same time. Plug your USB cable into a USB port on your computer, and plug in your phone. Unzip Odin, then open and right click Icon, and run as administrator.. Put TWRP. zip in the AP slot. Under options in Odin uncheck reboot and reset, hit the start. When it says pass, unplug your phone, pull battery. But battery back in. Then hold Volume up, home, and the power button, and your phone will start in TWRP recovery.

TWRP is the custom recovery you flash in Odin, to replace stock recovery. You need that to install custom roms and mods.
Go to this link https://dl.twrp.me/klte/ I would download 3.0.2-1-ktle.img.tar. to your desktop. Open up Odin uncheck reset, and reboot. Place phone in download mode Volume down+home+power. Open up Odin choose AP find your file and insert, then hit start. When done pull battery, but battery back in then Volume up+Home+Power and you will boot into recovery.

Flash TWRP first in Odin.. Then what ever Rom you use, will already have root (some dev's might require you to install root as well separate from the ROM you use).. Put the ROM of your choice on your External SD card. Go to recovery wipe cache dalvik/cache, system, data, internal storage. This is why you but the ROM of your choice on a External sd card, because you will wipe the internal storage. Flash ROM and reboot.. Now of course follow the dev's install instructions, as you might have to do something different. But that is usually the normal process to flash a custom ROM.

Flash TWRP first in Odin.. Then what ever Rom you use, will already have root (some dev's might require you to install root as well separate from the ROM you use).. Put the ROM of your choice on your External SD card. Go to recovery wipe cache dalvik/cache, system, data, internal storage. This is why you but the ROM of your choice on a External sd card, because you will wipe the internal storage. Flash ROM and reboot..

If you do not use those app, I just uninstall them period, through Titanium Back Up and Root.. Better yet you really should try flashing a custom rom, you won't have all that garbage.. I'm using this one
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-crdroid-t2860894
It runs great.. Give me a minute, I going to upload the files you need, so you do not have to go through the trouble of downloading them..

Put all three files on your external sd card.. Do a full wipe, data, system, cache, delvik/cache
1) Install the rom first (do not reboot yet)
2) Install gapps (do not reboot yet)
3) Then install SuperSu- reboot, and set up normal.
Be sure to give proper credit to the crdroid team..
Hey I want to try pixel experience rom in my nexus 6p but the installation guide there is too complex can someone from the forums break it down and explain so I can install it and also my device is a 8core model so I am not sure weather or not I need a BLOD patch and why I need a custom recovery (other then the normal custom recovery) Thanks in advance
1.No need to flashing blod
2.remove any passwords or screen lock before flashing
3.boot into fastboot make sure bootloader is unlocked
4.flash the twrp recovery provided in the forum u can't use the usual one
5.after installing recovery wipe everything from the advance wipe except internal storage
6.locate and install the rom don't flash the gapps its already included
7.before booting in the system make sure to wipe ur data from wipe or ur phone will not boot
8.time to enjoy!!!

It is quite simple. You'll just need to do a bit if reading about adb and fastboot and make sure you follow these steps methodically. You do not need BLOD patch. You need the custom recovery version from the pixelexperience thread because of the way files are encrypted.
1 . Go to settings - system - about phone. Tap on build number 7 times until you see a pop up saying developer options enabled.
2. Go to settings - system - advanced - developer options. In there you want to enable oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. Go to settings - security. Remove all device security so it's just swipe to unlock.
4. Follow this guide to setup google drivers, adb, fastboot and unlock the bootlader https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
5. Download latest rom version and twrp recovery version from pixelexperience thread to your pc and follow instruction in above guide for flashing twrp via fastboot.
6. Boot into your custom recovery (hold power + volume down while phone is off, use volume keys to select recovery, power for enter) ignore warning screen.
7. Go to backup. Select system, data and boot. Name it something like stock_todaysdate. Swipe to create backup. Reboot system.
8. Connect phone to pc. Through pc find twrp folder in phone, find your backup, copy to pc for safe keeping (this can restore your phone to how it was if anything goes wrong). Copy the rom zip you downloaded to your phone's internal storage.
9. Boot back into recovery. Go to wipe. Wipe everything except internal storage. Go to install. Locate the rom zip file and install it. Go to wipe again. Select format data and confirm.
10. Reboot system and wait for rom to boot this can take a while. Once booted leave your phone alone for a few minutes then you are good to go. If all is well make another backup and store on pc.

That is the best instructions I have seen in a while. I kinda figured that that was how to do it but I am not confident in my abilities. This confirms what I thought needed to be done.
I am not new to flashing I have been doing it since the LG g2x. But I did take a 3 year break from flashing and now everything is a little different.
Anyway thank you for this

Pleasure mate glad you appreciate it.
I also took a long break. Started back in the HTC sensation days! It's amazing how much everything changes when you don't check in for a while. Magisk for example blows my mind.

Yeah magisk is crazy the devs here at xda can do anything. They really are the best of the best. Everything I know I learned here on xda. I just read they are working on a new way to root at the kernel level so it's built in right from the when it's compiled. That's just crazy smart.
