by flashing back stock vendor, arent you ending up with a device that is stock with no mods?

Flashing standalone vendor image over the custom rom does not influence installed rom or its mods.

flashing is successful, phone boots but settings fc without possibility of ending the initial installation

I will give that a try. Thanks

I want to make sure I get this right. I am using SM-N96F with the following firmware : N960FXXU1ARH5_N960FOXM1ARGD_BTU

I do the following:

-Enable "OEM Unlock" From Developer Option

In Download Mode
-Flash " TWRP Recovery " Via " Odin "

-For " TWRP Recovery " select " AP "
-Now hit Start in ODIN after selection

-Now enter " TWRP Recovery " and Format
---" Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Internal, Data & Cache " TO DO THIS I MUST SELECT FORMAT THEN TYPE YES AND THEN FORMAT, IS THIS CORRECT?

-After Formatting

-Flash the Rom zip

*** It will take 5-10 minutes for the device to boot up, wait patiently ***

THEN DO I WIPE AGAIN AFTER THE FORMAT, LIKE THE IMAGES SHOWS? IF I DO THIS WILL I NOT WIPE THE ROM I JUST FLASHED?

Ok, so I did not format, I just wipe, like the image shows. I get constant boot loop

I try again, this time I format., same result - constant boot loop

I Try for the 3rd time......, still boot loop.

Was worth a try, going back to stock

Please can you confirm something very important for me...do you have the OEM Unlock option available out of the box on this firmware? I'd like to try and download it and flash it without waiting for the 7-day period before OEM Unlock appears in the Developer menu...

The firmware is official Samsung UK with OEM unlock available:good:

 

[Moe5508]

Thank you...let me try an Odin flash then and see...

EDIT: Nah, didn't work...still no OEM Unlock option after flashing this firmware...the 7-day waiting is torturing me...

Dont forget TAG is still TESTING

"TESTING MEANS TESTING"
ROM may be official or killed for ever.

As per 2 users rom finally boots fine on note 9
It was vendor issue only

I added 1 for 3 devices which caused issue

Now rom will boot fine, no settings fc

Don't give up yet.

I have mad backups and I can't be oem jailed.

Booted up earlier today (flashed vendor prior to booting up) and was able to go thru setup - rom seemed to work pretty well.

I tried to use Android Auto in my car and I could not get the phone to connect to the Car Stereo I use it with - so something is going on but that was the only real problem I found. (I turned off USB Debugging which was turned on after flashing the rom - but even after turning that off, I could not connect Android Auto) thought you might want to know.
thanks for all your work
