How To Guide [GUIDE] TWRP + LineageOS | A33

[DiegoRuiz]

Hello, i had the same issue.
As DiegoRuiz said, you should be able to poweroff the phone by holding all buttons at the same time.
Then when powered off, immediately hold the buttons to boot into downloadmode and try reflashing the os again.
The process seems somewhat broken, but as i said in the original post i managed to install lineage after all.

I will try the buttons combination a few more times to see if I get lucky then

Great.

What have you done, just kept trying and it randomly worked? That's what happened to me.
Really strange, one would think there is no place for random acts when it comes to programming.

I tested on SM-A33B/DNS

It works for me, I used TWRP from the comment at the bottom and it managed to upload TWRP and the system without any problems the first time.

here is a link of what twrp I used (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...y-project-3-for-galaxy-a33-5g-exynos.4536771/)

calling and texting work, wifi and bluetooth the same. also no problem with the rest of the features such as flashlight and adjustable brightness.

I additionally rooted the phone using magisk (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
It is also worth saying that I had to remove samsung's default partition encryption. to do this you need in TWRP:
- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler
- Go back to Wipe > Format Data > type yes
- Reboot to recovery.

and only then flash the rom

have fun and thanks for the rom

ok and so it turns out that you can not encrypt the phone (both with root and without).

when in the settings I click "encrypt phone" nothing happens, the button is highlighted as if it was clicked but nothing happens.
