IS X00PD the same as X00P when insalling TWRP and custom Roms?
I am far from an expert but since no one answered your question, I think the answer is yes? I've been in a hell hole of no ROM booting on my phone, so I am not a very good resource.
Im kinda confused too. im not really sure whats important: if It the model (x00p /x00pd) or the hardware (msm8917 or msm8937).
any link of twrp on our X00PD guys
I'm in the same boat. What's the deal with X00P vs X00PD?

so i got a good deal on a s7 edge. Now im looking into installing custom rom and i guess the superman rom is the one to go for but i have a few questions..
1. is it worth it over the stock samsung rom that comes with it?
2. Does the phone need to be rooted? (I know, dumb question, but developers dont really mention it that clearly tbh)
On the installation video of the superman ROM i saw a few things come by which caught my attention and these are as follow
1.Wipe method
should i do full wipe or clean install? whats the difference?
2.CSC,
I understood u need it for VoLTE and wificalling, so choosing my right country fixes that?
3.build.prop tweaks
stock is obvious choice, but what is their advantage with no tweaks?
4. Magisk.
I understand this is rooting with keeping OTA updates, but when i want to install the rom im already rooted right?
so what i tought, when installing, i should install magisk with phh magisk root to keep the OTA updates? or do i need to do more than just that?
I know its quite a lot so im hoping somebody wants to answer them for me, it would be highly appreciated!!!
The thing is I still have a somewhat old custom rom installed, so it's still 32-bits. Do I need to do something in particular before proceeding to flash any of the most recent 64-bits roms? Also, is it necessary to flash a 64-bits TWRP first?
I know this might actually be a silly question, but I just wanted to make sure before I end up with a bootloop or something. Thank you

Just update to the latest TWRP and clean flash any new ROM, don't just dirty flash it.
Use the official TWRP it supports both 64 and 32 bit
I recommend pixel experience and alize EAS
Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.
build number: R16NW.G955FXXU1CRD7

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful
I went ahead and got my unlock code today. But before I go for a custom ROM...
I noticed twrp had a few more releases...nothing new for the A/B slotted G7 I assume?
Let's say I don't need or want backups...is there ANY path to a stable root with Magisk??
I'd soo much rather have a Magisk root vs. a custom rom. Is there any hope?
I'm seeing so many contradictions of what I know or think I know...I'm pretty confused tbo.

Hey guys,
Anyone have any info when either unofficial or official twrp is coming for Android 11? I made the mistake of upgrading to 11 from 10 then tried flashing twrp which bricked my phone ( I fixed it, no biggie ). I just really want to flash a custom ROM and I can't find any other custom recovery that will do that and side loading twrp also gives a crashdump error. Unless anyone knows how to downgrade to 10, the the furthest downgrade I've achieved is 11.0.0, once I hit 10.x.x I get either a black screen or crash dump.
It's a lot there, I know. Much appreciated everyone.
Edit: reading more on this forum, I think I found a way to flash a custom ROM on Android 11.. I guess you can side load roms? So I guess I'm going to give that a try. I'm so old school, like back in 2011.
I had the same problem. Im using the Lineage recovery atm an idk why tbh. I think i used it for rooting and for now im only using magisk modules to obtain some featurers.
Sideloading roms is a thing but man i miss those old HTC Hero., HTC Desire times. Last years i was using a P30 pro without root and im so happy to have root again.
Anyway read carefully and have fun. I would love some answers from your experience here.

Most custom roms include all the files needed to flash the entire rom from a batch file. CrDroid for sure, but also Lineage. I'm sure there are more. My issue is not flashing, it's that all important nand backup from TWRP I miss the most. Switching roms is a lot more tedious when you have to re-install everything to revert back to your old setup.
Twrp for 8 and 8 pro may not happen ever, encryption is the problem
TWRP doesn't look promising considering the time that has passed since 8 launch...
