There is no reason to flash the June image if you plan to stay on pie rooted. Just use lgup to flash the US unlocked Pie KDZ. Click on partition dl, and select all except boot a and boot b. This will put you on Pie and keep you rooted as long as you are rooted on 11g and flashed the rooted twrp pie boot image on boot a, and kept boot b on 11g. Just make sure you format data and flash the decrypt zip through Twrp after installing Pie, that way you can take full backups and restore through TWRP if you find yourself in a boot loop later on.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

After Pie is installed and you format and decrypt, install magisk manager again after setup and it will prompt you to reboot to finish setup once Magisk Manager is opened for the first time. Using US unlocked KDZ, I have immediately had LTE with Sprint, ATT, and TMobile SIM cards with no issue. Also, Google dialer comes preinstalled but disabled. Just enable it. Google messages comes installed as well and you're bloat free except for LG apps. This is on my Google Fi G7ulm, so I'm not 100 percent sure about all other models.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Just to reiterate, you should flash the 20e TWRP boot image on slot a, and keep boot b on the 11g image. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I've done twice successfully.

Guys, Awsomeslayer posted Twrp20e on page 3.

Use lgup to flash ULM11g, the correct version is posted by Tecknight in the Aristo 2 threads. If you From 11g, go to Fastboot and unlock/flash Magisk. Back to Fastboot, now flash Twrp20e. You have to flash the .img file on boot_a only, not boot_b, Then download the ULM20e US Unlocked KDZ. Update the firmware to 20e using partition dl, choose all, and exclude boot_a and boot_b. For encryption issues flash the Disable DM Verity file from Zackptg5's website and flash.

Been figured out after many time tried to root the firmware version 20e android 9 on my g7 ulm model, and i realized that i don't need to flash the twrpboot.img on boot_b also, bcuz flash on both boot_a and boot_b will and update the firmware version from 11g to 20e will result in fastboot/bootloader mode bootloop, and magisk will not install, to get it work in correctly way, you have to flash the .img file on boot_a only, not boot_b, then update the firmware to 20e using partition dl, choose all, and exclude boot_a and boot_b, then you good to go

Someone has a twrp for the j4 SM-J400M, I've searched several forums and websites and can't find my phone model anywhere
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
Ok, so I have been working on this for a couple of days and I wanted to update everyone on my progress. Since rooting my SM-P205, I have been working on porting TWRP to this device. I have hit a couple of roadblocks, so I am making my way through them as I encounter them. This thread will be used to update on progress as it occurs.

UNLESS YOU ARE BEING CONSTRUCTIVE AND TRYING TO ASSIST IN DEVELOPMENT, DON'T SPAM THIS THREAD. As I make developments, I will post them. No, I don't need testers, I have my own device.

Current Status: Everything builds, and it boots, but the screen just flashes repeatedly. Doing some digging to see if I can find the issue.

What have I done?

Well, I have made a device tree and posted kernel sources. The kernel sources are not 100% current, but I doubt Samsung has changed much in the kernel in a single release. Anywho, I have also tried to install the TWRP for the SM-T515, since they are literally the same device, except this one has an 8" screen and an S-Pen, but no dice; Odin just gets stuck on the file analysis. So, in the meantime, I have posted links to the repositories for what work I have done up to this point, but I am far from finished. If building from the full Omni sources fails, I guess I'll have to try Lineage (much to my dismay).

Side note, if you look at my repository and think to yourself, "gee this looks awfully similar to the repo for the SM-T515", well that's not a coincidence. As I stated earlier, they're basically the same device: same chipset, same RAM, heck even the same resolution.

Status update (12/26/2019 0034 EST)

The recovery image has built successfully using the full OmniROM source. I am currently building the boot image and testing will begin shortly...maybe.

Status update (12/26/2019 0041 EST)

The boot image has built successfully, going to make the ODIN package and flash it now.

Status update (12/26/2019 0046 EST)

Does not boot...error validating footer...I think I know why, I'm pretty sure the board id is wrong in the config...gotta fix that...somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
Developer Information for the futurez

This device...like so many others these days is using Android Verified Boot. More importantly, it uses the Treble configuration with A/B verity under the guise of "data integrity" (we all know that Google and Samsung would love for everyone to stop rooting and installing custom ROMs).

So how does that affect me?

Well, first off. You CANNOT touch the boot partition...at all. If you do...boom Download Mode for you. Secondly, when rooting (even with TWRP) NOTHING can be installed to /system. If you do...boom Download Mode for you too. Currently, I am working to create a TWRP package with dm-verity disabled, BUT that will only allow flashing unverified images...it does NOT bypass the restrictions of Android Verified Boot...sadly. Also, the flashing process is VERY different. You have to flash two system images, so ROM installs will take twice as long...be aware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
To build TWRP for this device, you cannot use the minimal manifest. Not sure why, but it will fail on the Toybox compilation (Toybox is Google's codename for Android's implementation of SELinux). So what you need to do is sync the FULL omnirom sources (could probably also use AOSP or Lineage, I just used Omni):

repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-9.0

DON'T SYNC YET!. You need to modify some manifests first. In .repo/local_manifests/twrp.xml, add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="TeamWin"
fetch="https://github.com/TeamWin"
review="https://gerrit.twrp.me" />

<!-- TWRP lives in TeamWin android-9.0 (not AOSP!) -->
<remove-project name="platform/bootable/recovery"/>
<project path="bootable/recovery" name="android_bootable_recovery" remote="TeamWin" revision="android-9.0"/>

<!-- Include external Magisk repo for repack binaries -->
<project path="external/magisk-prebuilt" name="external_magisk-prebuilt" remote="TeamWin" revision="master" />

<!-- Include TeamWin android_system_update_engine to build a good update_engine_sideload -->
<remove-project name="android_system_update_engine" />
<project path="system/update_engine" name="android_system_update_engine" remote="TeamWin" revision="android-9.0" />
</manifest>

You might as well add your device sources at this point as well. Then sync and build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lafester:
Good info, thanks. I know on the pixel 3 any system mod has to be done through magisk. No twrp available at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
Yeah, it's a pain. On this particular device, even mods installed via Magisk cause a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] secretwolf98:
Can something similar like this work on the SM-T290 model??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
No, sadly not. The SM-P205 (and SM-P200 [<-- the WiFi model]) is the international model, so it has the Exynos chipset. The SM-T290 and SM-T295 are US models, so they use the Qualcomm chipet. Due to the legal troubles Samsung and Qualcomm have had in the past, Samsung cannot directly sell Exynos device models in US retail locations (they can, however, still sell them online). Additionally, due to the very open nature of the Exynos chipset, I doubt the US carriers would even stock them.

EDIT:

Actually, I misread the question...sorry. So long as you can unlock the bootloader (which on most QC US models you cannot, but I may be wrong on this one), then a similar process would work yes, but you need to scope out the information for your device. The closest match, I would guess, is probably the Galaxy S10e, so I would use that as a starting point.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] secretwolf98:
Ok, thank you for that information. You said the US can't sell exynos chips, Walmart in the US currently has the SM-T510 model with exynos?? That was in the store, I saw it my self.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EagerestWolf:
That may have changed then. Samsung may now be paying Qualcomm for a license. There was a patent infringement lawsuit involving those two a couple of years ago, so idk. I do know that the SM-T290 is a Qualcomm device though.
