So, I have lineage for T-Mo, and it's great, but now that https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-sabs-simple-adblocker-samsung-t3751722
has been developed, I was thinking of "dual booting" between stock touchwiz and lineage.
I use TWRP, and always make backups, but accidentally deleted my stock backup at some point. I'm on the latest version, or at least extremely close, of TWRP stable.
Obviously Odin is an option, but I've heard a lot of phones can flash a stock ROM through TWRP, but with all the searching I've done, I just can't find anything specifically about the last Note 3 stock ROM doing it, one way or another, and I always get an error message when trying to flash the zip through TWRP (the tar file inside of the zip doesn't show at all).
I think I'm missing a simple step, but all my searches are coming up for other phones, or custom ROM's for the Note 3 that are based on older versions than the last Note 3 T-Mobile release.
Weird question, and I expect someone will say to just ODIN it (please don't bother responding with that unless you're 100% sure there isn't another method), but the last time I did that, I had to reformat sd card, and so forth, to use lineage as well, whereas before my dumb butt accidentally deleted my stock nandroid, it was easy to swap between, thus my quandary.
Thanks!
Update: It doesn't seem likely from what I have found, but feel free to correct me on that. I used Odin, the old fashioned way, but made sure to not install xposed, as that caused bootloops, and all went well via that method, obviously aside from not having xposed, which is understandable. I can essentially dual boot anyways.
To the Moderators: You can delete this post, since it's resolved, or leave it as information for someone else that may find themselves in a similar situation. I'm ok with either option, so I leave that to your discretion.
