My phone is not recognized by the PC when I'm in TWRP so I can't copy the zip file to the phone. ADB doesn't work either.

I don't have one.. how come I'm the only one with that problem though
You're not the only one. I had the same issue and just ended up buying an OTG cable. Then, I had a message that the ROM cannot be installed since you need to update from BWA2 version of the firmware and I had none after performing full data wipe. Eventually, I just flashed another ROM via Odin😂

You have to wipe data only when you come from full stock to eliminate the encryption. For updating br you can use home_csc when you flash stock to keep your apps data. Have you read the guide from the OP?

Does spam caller ID built in and call recorder both work?

But that's just userdata, right? the OS should be intact. Have you updated to BWA2 before for sure?

You should have made sure you're on BWA2 because that seems to be the problem. That latest update in your region isn't necessarily the latest available firmware.

I've ordered an OTG adapter in case I'll get stuck in TWRP in the future again.

    No, you don't need the previous br builds. You just need to be on the latest cwbe fw before flashing br31

    How exactly did you achieve the rw? Can you please give me step by step tutorial? Thanks (y)

    So are you trying to tell me that I've been basically wasting my time by doing 1 on 1 customer support in private with you for over 12 pages since July trying to get my rw script to work for all Samsung devices? :unsure:
    I am a little bit disappointed. I was honestly expecting more high quality feedback and a little bit more enthousiasm from you as well as a little bit more honesty. :(
    You could've told me back in July that you cannot or do not want to help me make my rw script to work on ALL devices out there but you only want to make YOUR device rw... Isn't that a little bit egoistic on your part? :unsure:
    Speaking of honesty. Didn't you tell me the other day that you're not a developer yet here you are publishing a ROM that's fully rw in a thread with a [DEVELOPMENT] tag... :unsure:

    What is dubious about my rom?
    I always had options to make my rom from many other sources: twrp backup after running afaneh rw script, offline manual creation of rw images but I chose to help you hoping to automate the rw image creation with your script.
    I had the willingness to help you making the script working over 12 pages of discussion as you say and countless tests but you never listen to my advises.
    Honestly, no point of washing our laundries in public.

    And this is the end of this topic from my point of view.

    Guys guys guys, is it really the best place to have such a discussion?

    I highly advise you to use the 13th page of your long discussion to clear things out. It's not like you're new to XDA ... 😉
