Hi Guys,
Just a newbie here, I recently flashed my phone with Lineage OS and it was not rooted.
Now, I want to try other ROMs, I can't seem to install TWRP since phone is not rooted.
Hope to get your thoughts on this. Thank you.
Installing twrp does not require root if using the Odin version of twrp.

Key Combo to boot to TWRP for S4
Do you happen to know what is the key combo for TWRP?
Hold volume down, home, and press the power button. Once the phone powers up, release the power button. Hold the other buttons until the twrp logo appears.
S4 stuck in Odin Mode
Hi Guys,
How to solve phone booting to Odin mode directly, it doesn't boot anymore to OS.
Try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato with Odin.
A bit of history on this device (Galaxy a3 2017 A320FL)
I rooted the phone, it got FRP locked so later I tried Lineage OS. Didn't like it so I went back to Stock firmware.
It's working fine but when accessing the recovery mode via power off + volume up + home it boots to the "installing system update" screen that shortly after turns into a "no command" screen. Long pressing those three buttons again I get into the real recovery mode.
I already tried flashing the stock recovery image from here https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1680/firmware:20213/download/recovery.tar.md5/landing but the recovery mode keeps acting weirdly.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
i found my old zuk z1 and updated everything. TWRP to 3.2.1 and lineageos to last nightly. This was working. Then i tried a opengapps mini package for ARM. Since this, my phone can't start any more. With lineageos there was a reboot after 5 minutes to recovery and i tried to delete everything and flashed lineageos with different version, but still reboots after 5 minutes. So i tried an other image AospExtended-v7.2-ham-20200521-1100-UNOFFICIAL and now i have an endless boot screen without reboot and recovery. I can't reach it manually. I tried every Combination with Power Button, Vol up, vol down, both, and with home button. Until Vibration, 10 sek....nothing works, i can't reach recovery mode anymore
how could i recover my zuk1 ?
update, there was an error with vol down, so i can't go recovery with buttons. But you can reach it with adb and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I am trying to downgrade from the official LineageOS 18.1 to 17.1. I successfully sideloaded the install package, but after I tapped "Reboot system now", the tablet booted into the "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." screen and is stuck. I cannot access the device through adb or fastboot, pressing the power key to continue does nothing, holding Power + Volume Down to force shut down causes the device to reboot into the same screen, and Volume Up + Volume Down + attaching power cable to enter download mode does nothing. Any advice would be appreciated!

You can't downgrade without a wipe, also in case you already installed OneUI 3 firmware you can't use 17.1 anymore.
For getting to download mode:
Connect the tablet to a PC, force reboot it by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds, when the screen goes black immediately switch to holding Volume Down and Volume Up.
Thanks for your response - I see that that was a mistake.
I've made it into download mode and can flash the LineageOS recovery, but I'm unable to boot into recovery after that to sideload LineageOS with adb (I can't power off, and Power + Volume Up does nothing). Any suggestions?

Hold Volume Down and Power for 7 seconds again to force reboot it and when screen goes black immediately hold Volume up and Power
If you are on OneUI 3 firmware your device needs to be connected to a PC in order to boot recovery via key combination (it will just try booting system otherwise)

I've tried that a few times and it seems to try to boot to system regardless of whether it's connected to a PC or not -- it just gets stuck at "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." yada yada.

Which firmware are you on?
Which version of the recovery did you try to flash? 17.1 recovery won't work on oneui 3 firmware.

I believe I am using OneUI 3 (though, admittedly, I don't know how to check for sure - I'm new to all this).
I tried to flash LineageOS 17.1 nightly from 2021-03-3. Is it possible to install firmware which will allow me to use 17.1 or do I require 18.1?

OneUI 3 is samsung's Android 11 stock ROM so if you had Android 11 before installing lineage you're on Android 11/OneUI 3 firmware
For 17.1 you'd need to install e.g P610XXU2BTK2 (that was the last OneUI 2 / Android 10 stock ROM for the Wifi Model)
May I ask why you don't want to install 18.1 actually?
Edit: In case you need the firmware I mentioned above, I uploaded it here
Hello everyone. I installed DotOS (It is in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-unofficial-dotos-v5-1-1-for-galaxy-a10.4261351/ on the Samsung A10 model phone and the phone restarted automatically. The phone did not turn on after rebooting. Samsung A10 text comes on and black screen. What will I do? I can't get into TWRP mode.
Try to force reboot the phone holding Vol - and power for 6-7 seconds and then press Vol + and power to enter twrp
#2: try to find a Arm64 vendor for the galaxy A10 because it normally has a 32 bit vendor and it cannot boot Arm64 ROMs like Dot os
