Good idea to read this F.A.Q While the rom is installing

NOTES :
For Facebook/whatsapp calling, if the audio is quite you should set the call volume to 1 step below max

Q : I dont have root help plez
A : Flash the latest magisk zip

Q : Phone took alot of time to boot, and is very laggy
A : pay attention to install steps and reboot

Q : There is SIM popup that keeps coming to ask me for restart
A : you DID NOT follow the instructions, Reinstall the rom and pay attention

Q : in the first SIM question in setup wizard, language is not english, what does it say
A : The RIGHT button is what you need to press, it will factory reset the phone (not touching your internal) and setup your /EFS with an OMC file that is linked to your simcard, so the rom will auto detect your CSC just like official samsung phones

Q : I dont see any EDGE panels after installing
A : Reboot the phone

Q : Where is edge lighting ?
A : This is NOT a flagship port, so the edge panel support is added manually, and LIGHT support cant be added

Q : How is battery Life ?
A : With some tests and some cycles, it will be better than stock due to optimzations

Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everthing

Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls
A : Ensure you have LATEST bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores

I used this TWRP from before https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-j701f-core-nxt-exynos-7870/recovery-t3693009
I only flashed the recovery for this part, not the bootloader.

Then used it to flash this TWRP image https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-exynos-7870/stable-twrp-3-2-1-j701f-t3742401

Everything went fine.
I tried to just make a tar file out of the second one, the image file, but it didn't work.

For root, there was a Magisk.zip modified to support this phone posted but the file has been removed from the upload site. Perhaps its been incorporated into the latest Magisk? I don't know.
