Hello,

This would be a short & sweet guide on how to install a custom ROM on your Samsung using ODIN. I'm going to tailored this guide for the S10e G9700 HK version (is the phone I own) I'm a linux user but Odin only runs on Windows so this works 100% on a Windows 10 VM an of course native on Windows.

1. Who is this for?
For people that can't or don't want to install TWRP on their devices. For example TWRP doesn't work with the S10E Snapdragon G9700 the HK/CHG version.​

2. Will this method work on my bootloader locked phone?
NO!​
Bootloader locked phones are locked in hardware there's no way to flash anything but carriers ROMs to them. If you can unlock the bootloader this guide will work for you.​

3. Can I use this only with the G9700 phone?
No you can use any device, but this guide is tailored to the s10e g9700; because the TWRP version for this phone doesnt work with Android10.​

4. Why not use Heimdall and do the guide entirely on Linux?
I use Manjaro [Arch] linux and tried to get Heimdall to work but couldn't, so choose the path of least resistance, so ODIN and windows is what we got :).​

5. Recommended ROMs?
I'm not a fan of Google Apps so my recommendations are these (2) ROMs:​
​
1. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ad/v219/system-quack-arm64-aonly-floss.img.xz (No bloat, Stock Android 10 with FOSS Apps replacements of Gapps, you can install your own on top, Like I use Google Maps (the only Gapp I use)​
2. https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...7-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img.xz/download (Lineage OS 17.1 - this is vanilla, you will have to install an App store like F-Droid or Aurora from the .apk files using ADB [FYI] - This is what I use as my daily driver!​
​
note* the proximity sensor doesn't work with the S10E and PHH based ROMs - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/592#issuecomment-519853332​
​

6. If using a PHH based ROM from phhusoon set this to get Bluetooth Audio working?
Under Developer Options - toggle ON "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload"​

Requirements


Step-by-Step Process

  1. Get your phone Official Stock ROM - https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G9700/TGY (this is the one for my phone)
  2. Extract the downloaded file (you'll have the BL, AP, CP, CSC) .TAR.MD5 files
  3. Using 7zip extract just the AP .tar.md5 (it'll have img.lz4 files: boot.img.lz4, vbmeta.img.lz4 & system.img.ext4.lz4)
  4. Download a clean vbmeta.img file from Google - https://dl.google.com/developers/android/qt/images/gsi/vbmeta.img
  5. Now we need to compress the vbmeta.img file (just downloaded from google) using LZ4.
  6. Go into the /bin folder inside the script zip file provided (or download LZ4 from https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases)
  7. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size vbmeta.img vbmeta.img.lz4
  8. Done with vbmeta.img (keep the vbmeta.img.lz4 file)
  9. Now download your favorite Custom ROM (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ad/v219/system-quack-arm64-aonly-floss.img.xz)
  10. Using 7zip extract the .img.xz file & Rename the file inside to system.img.ext4 (this is the system OS without lz4 compression)
  11. Now we need to compress the system.img.ext4 file (just renamed) using LZ4.
  12. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size system.img.ext4 system.img.ext4.lz4
  13. Done with system.img.ext4 (keep the system.img.ext4.lz4 file)
  14. Want to Root the device? if yes continue on; if not skip to step 24
  15. Take the boot.img.lz4 extracted from the stock ROM (the AP.tar.md5 file)
  16. We need to decompress this file using LZ4.
  17. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -d boot.img.lz4 boot.img
  18. Transfer this boot.img file to a phone and run Magisk Manager (doesnt need to be a rooted phone) and patch the boot.img file
  19. Take the patched file on your phone and transfer to your computer
  20. Rename the patched Magisk file to boot.img
  21. Now we need to compress the boot.img file (just renamed) using LZ4.
  22. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size boot.img boot.img.lz4
  23. Done with the renamed Magisk patched (keep the boot.img.lz4 file)
  24. Replace the stock boot.img.lz4, vbmeta.img.lz4 & system.img.ext4.lz4 with the new customize files
  25. Extract the files from tar-md5-script-tool.zip
  26. Copy or Move all files below to the tar-md5-script-tool folder
  27. Files are: (we don't need the meta-data folder with fota.zip)
    boot.img.lz4
    dqmdbg.img.ext4.lz4
    dtbo.img.lz4
    persist.img.ext4.lz4
    recovery.img.lz4
    system.img.ext4.lz4
    userdata.img.ext4.lz4
    vbmeta.img.lz4
    vendor.img.ext4.lz4
  28. Now we are going to build the AP file to use with Odin
  29. Run the batch.bat file from the tar-md5-script-tool folder
  30. Once it finishes go to the /tar-md5-script-tool/temp-folder/
  31. Inside you will find the AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5
  32. Flash the BL, CP, CSC (use HOME_CSC) from your Stock ROM & AP (using AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5)
  33. Done

My rom shows super.img.lz4, I couldn't find the file system.img.lz4
What do I do? Can I flash the system.img.lz4 instead of super.img.lz4?

At this point i've been struggling to get a gsi on my a52 5G for the better part of 8 hours, i cant tell if the constant struggles have given me brain damage or im just missing something. i cant figure out how to compress the files back into LZ4, no luck with 7zip. i see the commands you said to use but have no idea how to get them working, powershell and CMD give me unknown command errors. Can you please elaborate on how to compress the files back into lz4? i'm on Windows 11 64 Bit.

Hello,

This would be a short & sweet guide on how to install a custom ROM on your Samsung using ODIN. I'm going to tailored this guide for the S10e G9700 HK version (is the phone I own) I'm a linux user but Odin only runs on Windows so this works 100% on a Windows 10 VM an of course native on Windows.

1. Who is this for?
For people that can't or don't want to install TWRP on their devices. For example TWRP doesn't work with the S10E Snapdragon G9700 the HK/CHG version.​

2. Will this method work on my bootloader locked phone?
NO!​
Bootloader locked phones are locked in hardware there's no way to flash anything but carriers ROMs to them. If you can unlock the bootloader this guide will work for you.​

3. Can I use this only with the G9700 phone?
No you can use any device, but this guide is tailored to the s10e g9700; because the TWRP version for this phone doesnt work with Android10.​

4. Why not use Heimdall and do the guide entirely on Linux?
I use Manjaro [Arch] linux and tried to get Heimdall to work but couldn't, so choose the path of least resistance, so ODIN and windows is what we got :).​

5. Recommended ROMs?
I'm not a fan of Google Apps so my recommendations are these (2) ROMs:​
​
1. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ad/v219/system-quack-arm64-aonly-floss.img.xz (No bloat, Stock Android 10 with FOSS Apps replacements of Gapps, you can install your own on top, Like I use Google Maps (the only Gapp I use)​
2. https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...7-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img.xz/download (Lineage OS 17.1 - this is vanilla, you will have to install an App store like F-Droid or Aurora from the .apk files using ADB [FYI] - This is what I use as my daily driver!​
​
note* the proximity sensor doesn't work with the S10E and PHH based ROMs - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/592#issuecomment-519853332​
​

6. If using a PHH based ROM from phhusoon set this to get Bluetooth Audio working?
Under Developer Options - toggle ON "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload"​

Requirements


Step-by-Step Process

  1. Get your phone Official Stock ROM - https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G9700/TGY (this is the one for my phone)
  2. Extract the downloaded file (you'll have the BL, AP, CP, CSC) .TAR.MD5 files
  3. Using 7zip extract just the AP .tar.md5 (it'll have img.lz4 files: boot.img.lz4, vbmeta.img.lz4 & system.img.ext4.lz4)
  4. Download a clean vbmeta.img file from Google - https://dl.google.com/developers/android/qt/images/gsi/vbmeta.img
  5. Now we need to compress the vbmeta.img file (just downloaded from google) using LZ4.
  6. Go into the /bin folder inside the script zip file provided (or download LZ4 from https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases)
  7. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size vbmeta.img vbmeta.img.lz4
  8. Done with vbmeta.img (keep the vbmeta.img.lz4 file)
  9. Now download your favorite Custom ROM (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ad/v219/system-quack-arm64-aonly-floss.img.xz)
  10. Using 7zip extract the .img.xz file & Rename the file inside to system.img.ext4 (this is the system OS without lz4 compression)
  11. Now we need to compress the system.img.ext4 file (just renamed) using LZ4.
  12. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size system.img.ext4 system.img.ext4.lz4
  13. Done with system.img.ext4 (keep the system.img.ext4.lz4 file)
  14. Want to Root the device? if yes continue on; if not skip to step 24
  15. Take the boot.img.lz4 extracted from the stock ROM (the AP.tar.md5 file)
  16. We need to decompress this file using LZ4.
  17. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -d boot.img.lz4 boot.img
  18. Transfer this boot.img file to a phone and run Magisk Manager (doesnt need to be a rooted phone) and patch the boot.img file
  19. Take the patched file on your phone and transfer to your computer
  20. Rename the patched Magisk file to boot.img
  21. Now we need to compress the boot.img file (just renamed) using LZ4.
  22. Run this command
    Code: 
    lz4.exe -B6 --content-size boot.img boot.img.lz4
  23. Done with the renamed Magisk patched (keep the boot.img.lz4 file)
  24. Replace the stock boot.img.lz4, vbmeta.img.lz4 & system.img.ext4.lz4 with the new customize files
  25. Extract the files from tar-md5-script-tool.zip
  26. Copy or Move all files below to the tar-md5-script-tool folder
  27. Files are: (we don't need the meta-data folder with fota.zip)
    boot.img.lz4
    dqmdbg.img.ext4.lz4
    dtbo.img.lz4
    persist.img.ext4.lz4
    recovery.img.lz4
    system.img.ext4.lz4
    userdata.img.ext4.lz4
    vbmeta.img.lz4
    vendor.img.ext4.lz4
  28. Now we are going to build the AP file to use with Odin
  29. Run the batch.bat file from the tar-md5-script-tool folder
  30. Once it finishes go to the /tar-md5-script-tool/temp-folder/
  31. Inside you will find the AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5
  32. Flash the BL, CP, CSC (use HOME_CSC) from your Stock ROM & AP (using AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5)
  33. Done

Due to the differences and models of the firmware, I provide a suggestion to replace only System.img.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use Magisk to patch AP*. MD5
2. Unzip the Patched AP*. MD5
3. Use 7ZS to decompress super.img.lz4 to get super.img
4. Unpack Super.img
5. Replace system.img
6. Packing back to super.img
7. Use 7zs to compress super.img.lz4
8. Compress all files after step 2 to compress the script of KKOO to the fixedware that can be recognized by ODIN.
9. Use Odin to flash all the firmware.

My device is a5070。I followed the steps，but while flashing ,It got stuck in system.img and didn't report any errors.
Is there any way to solve this？

    Hello,

    This would be a short & sweet guide on how to install a custom ROM on your Samsung using ODIN. I'm going to tailored this guide for the S10e G9700 HK version (is the phone I own) I'm a linux user but Odin only runs on Windows so this works 100% on a Windows 10 VM an of course native on Windows.

    1. Who is this for?
    For people that can't or don't want to install TWRP on their devices. For example TWRP doesn't work with the S10E Snapdragon G9700 the HK/CHG version.​

    2. Will this method work on my bootloader locked phone?
    NO!
    Bootloader locked phones are locked in hardware there's no way to flash anything but carriers ROMs to them. If you can unlock the bootloader this guide will work for you.
    https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-samsung-galaxy-phones/​

    3. Can I use this only with the G9700 phone?
    No you can use any device, but this guide is tailored to the s10e g9700; because the TWRP version for this phone doesnt work with Android10.​

    4. Why not use Heimdall and do the guide entirely on Linux?
    I use Manjaro [Arch] linux and tried to get Heimdall to work but couldn't, so choose the path of least resistance, so ODIN and windows is what we got :).​

    5. Recommended ROMs?
    I'm not a fan of Google Apps so my recommendations are these (2) ROMs:

    1. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...ad/v219/system-quack-arm64-aonly-floss.img.xz (No bloat, Stock Android 10 with FOSS Apps replacements of Gapps, you can install your own on top, Like I use Google Maps (the only Gapp I use)
    2. https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...7-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img.xz/download (Lineage OS 17.1 - this is vanilla, you will have to install an App store like F-Droid or Aurora from the .apk files using ADB [FYI] - This is what I use as my daily driver!

    note* the proximity sensor doesn't work with the S10E and PHH based ROMs - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/592#issuecomment-519853332
    ​

    6. If using a PHH based ROM from phhusoon set this to get Bluetooth Audio working?
    Under Developer Options - toggle ON "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload"​

    Requirements


    Step-by-Step Process

    1. Get your phone Official Stock ROM - https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G9700/TGY (this is the one for my phone)

    This issue has actually been fixed a long time ago, you need to select "Enable extra sensors" in Treble settings though.

    If someone knows or provides a place where to upload a complete ROM I can upload the Complete AP.tar.md5 ROM for LOS 17.1 OS Rooted with Magisk and the Android Stock FOSS image just to use with Odin. Let me know! Thanks

    You can always reflash back to Samsung Stock ROM. I don't use any Samsung App so never cared about knox, but I assume it does trip knox.
