• Download the provided lineage recovery! ( Others will not work! And encryption only works properly with the provided lineage recovery! )
• Flash recovery with Odin/Heimdall or whatever way
• go to Wipe > format data/factory reset - This will wipe your INTERNAL storage, so please back up your important files before doing this!
• Go to Apply update > install it
• It will say that signature verification is failed, just choose install anyway
• OPTIONAL: Install gapps
• Enjoy!

But i realy recommend beyond!

For those of you who want 120Hz refresh rate, I found a way.
I used this app (needs root):

GitHub - sdex/ActivityManager: Launch any application activity

Launch any application activity. Contribute to sdex/ActivityManager development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Then found com.sec.settings and expanded the group, then found (use the search) "Settings$HighRefreshRatesSettingsActivity"

If you long press that activity, you can create a shortcut tile in your apps tray.

Enjoy

(BTW I have zero affiliation to that app developer, so all credits to them)

I have a problem with my S20+ it's the SM-G985F , the camera doesn't work. I get a message saying Warning , camera failed. I tried reflashing 3 times and I even tried with the Thunderstorm kernel and it's always the same outcome.

Edit: I reflashed my phone back to original software and then back to only BR, nothing else alongside it and I found out that after I flash Thunderstorm kernel, the camera goes bad. Is there a way to fix this? I really want to keep the kernel because battery life is so much better and the phone feels a bit more snappier.

Did you pay for his latest kernel or use the free one?

Free one is one version old, so not compatible with BR4.5, wrong bootloader.

Check out his the telegram on OP, or find his GitHub and build the kernel for your firmware if you're capable.
(Maybe check the build.prop edits, some of them aren't relevant since 3G was new...)

No, I didn't pay for his kernel. I didn't even know that you can buy it, I saw some complaints on his posts about buying it and I was like "Well, it's on xda sooooo ????" .

Well, I'll buy it because I can't build my own firmware. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Thank you for your answer!

No problem.

Yes, some people complain about charging money for open source software, but I don't mind. I bought it. I like the tweaks, ...most of them anyway.

Two more questions.

When I send the money, when I put that I send 2 euros, it says that the recipient gets 1,95 usd. Is it alright if I send it like this?

And I have to put my username in the "What's this payment for?" thing?

Ummm. I changed it so that the recipient received the right amount.
And yeah, he messaged me on PayPal after because he couldn't find me in the telegram group, because my privacy settings were too high.
I recommend joining the telegram group first if you haven't already. He is in that group, and I'm sure he would be happy to advise you about payment.

Current version is 4.5, is there a reason you're using 4.4?

 

[Stegy]

Yes, didnt had time for clean install, now would rather wait for BR 4.6 for clean install

 

[Peterepeat87]

Honestly, I'd recommend going to 4.5 as the first step of troubleshooting.
What baseband are you on?
Also, start with a good backup. I recommend swift. Apparently titanium is outdated, and apks often don't reinstall right. But I haven't used it.

Hi Guys I need some explanaition/help maybe... I have G988B and Odin 3.14.4 and new firmware and TWRP+VBMETA in USERDATA. it's working ridiculously long time! I wait on that screen in attachement from 20-30 minuts... Is this stuck? Did i something wrong? Please help, cause i have no phone right now... it's frustrating.

Is there a chance the cable got bumped while the transfer was happening?
Download the Samsung smartswitch PC app just incase you soft brick it. (Instructions on this site somewhere).
It shouldn't take that long.
Also, get rid of that ODIN, and use one from this post:

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

Hope it helps

Thanks, I'll have to wait for next week to do upgrade. BasebanD is FVDB. For backup i have titanium & swift, swift works ok-ish but doesnt restore some apps so I have to combine titanium, swift and manual backup.

Yeah, to be honest I mainly use swift for the SMS backup. Is easy enough just to reinstall most apps

Why are you using Titanium Backup...uggghhhh, that horrible kludgy thing has been borking backups since Android was invented. The first paid app i ever regretted buying. I went on to use MyBackup Pro for years without issues.

Heres something free that actually works (for almost everyone, and for me for years now)

[APP][ROOT][5.0+][1st Nov 2020] Migrate - custom ROM migration tool

Jumping from one custom ROM to another can be a challenging task. So I decided to make an app to simplify the process. Introducing Migrate! Migrate-GPE (v4.0) is on Google Play It was temporarily suspended. Read more here...

forum.xda-developers.com

and heres how i use it for ease of use and sanity purposes

Note: Migrate requires root (Magisk) to backup and restore, as it backs up apps AND app data (oh and permissions, call logs/SMS etc)


Initial Setup (only needed once)

1. Install (if you dont have them already):
   
   
   Migrate Main app (v4.0 - NG): (Note: Play Store has v5, which is buggy at time of writing, as in its never created a working backup for me as of 13/01/2023)
   Migrate Flasher module (v3.0)
   Migrate Helper Module: (v4.0)​

Note: ALL the above files are now attached to this post as the Play and other links show later versions which have issues and are very much beta, and so the previous versions have become hard to find easily

1. Then open MyAPK, locate and backup to /sdcard/Migrate (this only needs to be done once, to backup the files):
   
   
   Migrate Flasher Module​
   Migrate Helper Module​

Note: You dont need to keep a copy of the main Migrate app, because that will be included of course in your backup


Backup process:

1. Create a backup in Migrate
2. Copy the /sdcard/Migrate folder off device for extra safe keeping, in case you HAVE to format /data when installing new ROM

Restore process (after creating a backup each time):

1. Flash ROM as per usual
2. Install Magisk
3. If you did have to format data during ROM flash, copy the Migrate folder back to /sdcard
4. Go to /sdcard/Migrate folder and install:
   
   
   Migrate Helper Module​
   Migrate Flasher Module​
   
   
5. Run Migrate Flasher Module after install, and flash zips (make sure to select all, scroll to check you have selected all)
6. At completion it will ask you to open Migrate Helper Module, which will be already installed, open it and flash the apps you want to restore
7. Finalize/Uninstall
8. Device will reboot

Setup ROM settings as usual

Re-login into apps that need logging in

Life is easy

Note:

Not every app will seamlessly make the migration and run like it did pre migration....case in point, i never tick the data column (centre column) for Samsung Wear, Health or Health Monitor, or my banking apps - i log in to all again after migration. After a while you will figure out which apps to untick data on and just login to those once migrated - it will save you having to clear data on them post migration. Migrate remembers which apps you have selected and or not selected, and which columns you have selected between backups. So make sure if youre doing a backup to check you have ticked any new apps since last backup.

 

[Peterepeat87]

Why are you using Titanium Backup...uggghhhh

Wow, that is a fantastic guide!

I presume that's not gonna work with google play alternatives? (Microg, nikgapps, etc)

 

[askim40]

anytime for new release 4.6?

 

[Riggz]

ok am I being thick?

I've read through the majority of comments and might have missed something so apologies..

When I tried to flash I get "please update your firmware to at least G98xyXXSEFVE6 before flashing"

I've flashed "SM-G981B_BTE_G981BXXSEFVE6_fac" stock rom beforehand.
I don't get it lol
