I've added the referenced guides inline in the OP, so not so much bouncing around. My mistake. That should have read: "wipe the encrypted data partition after flashing TWRP". I was sure that I did a factory reset each time. Must be wrong about that. Corrected, thanks.

Yeah, well there are about twelve Galaxy Series A models and the geniuses at xda put them all in one bucket, so lots of Guides in the Guides, News & Discussion section, lots of ROMs in ROMs, Kernels & Recoveries, etc.

I don't know what will affect Widevine. I think the bootloader can be relocked, but I can't check right now.

This isn't really a tutorial, more like additional information to help you follow the guides linked in the OP. You're internal data is encrypted by default by Android, but the version of TWRP we're using can't handle encryption. We get around that by disabling encryption by wiping the data...

fpozar Magendanz doesn't explicitly say so in his OPs, but in some of his posts he does suggest matching the kernel versions. Anyway it looks like you're stuck with stock until there's a newer t515 custom ROM.

Orite I'm sorry that I haven't been clearer, but I did say to read the relevant guides and read my thoughts below. In the OP I said Full details in the Rooting section in the OP. You should have been following the TWRP Recovery guide for installing TWRP which clearly states at what point to...

fpozar There are two problems that I know of that can cause a FAIL on the product.img line in Odin - USB debugging not turned on Incomplete boot loader unlock Looks like option 2. As Magendanz has said elsewhere - Update: More from Magendanz, on missing OEM unlock option: So connect to...

DdDnt The difficulty in rebooting into Download mode is timing. After triggering a reboot by holding Power+VolumeDown for 7 seconds you need to immediately switch to holding Vol Up + Vol Down then connect the cable. Alternatively you can wait for the battery to run out, then you can press and...

milsabords From the Nexus Stock ROM thread - What I actually said earlier was that you should be holding down the volume buttons when you connect. To be clear, and as per the OP - DIsconnect the cable Hold down the Volume buttons and keep them held down until after the next step Connect...

It should work with only the Volume and Volume down buttons held down when the USB cable is connected from the computer.

There are no dumb questions! Only dumb people asking dumb ... wait that doesn't sound right ... Anyway - the Up and Down parts of the volume button can be pressed at the same time. You can see this if you first press the Up part, and while keeping the Up part pressed you can then also press the...

Quick answer, Magisk v19.3 or later can be flashed with TWRP as normal. Needs to be re-flashed when you update TWRP.

Use Odin to flash the latest tar.md5 file. It will enter TWRP after the flash, no need to do a factory reset, just reboot to system. Some users have reported getting stuck on the boot animation after a dirty flash, I don't know if that still happens with the latest version. If it does the...
