How can I install the TWRP ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Mnky313:
Great ROM, works great on my N9600. The only thing I can't get working is remapping the bixby button, button mapper shows the option for bixby button but that doesn't work and if I try and add it is says 'unknown (0)' and can't add it. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] jeromekobriger:
No, no unlocked bootloader. Not listed as required in OP.

No, no TWRP. Not listed as required in OP.

Yes, model is listed in OP as Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon. The 695U is a Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon, and OP did not limit to specific models of it, hence the question.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] TheMadScientist:
Yes you need twrp. And no this is not for your model. G960u is a locked bootloader device and cannot be unlocked.

It is for 9600 9650 models as in chinese. Any los based roms need twrp or equivalent recovery to flash.

As common sense has it most know you need a unlocked bl and custom recovery to flash these. But I'm sure the OP will update to clarify better

You need to play with the settings more, if you disable navigation bar gestures are fine and you can invert navigation bar in settings also. Live display is also working.

I don't normally have battery as a notification so I'm not sure if this works or not.

I'm stock in bootloop, can anyone help me.

I followed the following steps to install twrp

OK ....

Download Odin 3.13

Download the stock rom for your phone

Before flash it with odin, uncheck option autoreboot.

1 - After you flash the rom, restart in download mode again ( do not boot rom) and flash TWRP

2. Boot TWRP, when asking about modify system, choose "NO"

3. go to wipe -> Data, and type "Yes", this will delete all data even internal storage.

4. go to Reboot -> Recovery.

5. go to Install, and install "Dm-Verify remove zip"

6. go to Install, and install "RMM State Bypass zip"

7. go to Install, and install "Magisk 16.6 zip"

8. reboot system

I used android 10 stock firmware and twrp 3.4
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] u0aol:
Hmmm, its a very good SD card so that is weird that you are having this issue, do you have any other SD cards you could try with? This is just to verify for sure that its not the card causing the issue.

I doubt its an installation problem but if you can share the install steps that you did for TWRP and then this ROM (including the files you flashed) we can eliminate installation problems as a source of this issue too.

As you can transfer in recovery it sounds to me like its probably a permission issue with the file explore, you can go into Settings->Privacy>Permissions

Select storage from the list and make sure the file browser you use has this permission.

You can also try reinstalling the file browser and copying a file to the SD card so you can redo the 'Grant Permission to Access SD' dialogue again, make sure in the explorer window that pops up that you select your SD card on the left side before you touch grant permissions.

Also, you're very welcome, happy to help :)

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

You need to place this ROM, DM verify remove, RMM State Bypass, Magisk and also GAPPS onto an SD card or USB that you can put in your phone.

You install TWRP with ODIN.

Steps

1. Flash TWRP 3.4 with Odin

2. Boot TWRP, when asking about modify system, choose "NO"

3. go to wipe -> Advanced and select Data, Cache and Dalvik and Wipe all of these.

4. go to Reboot -> Recovery.

5. go to Install, select where it says internal storage and select your external SD card or USB.

6. Navigate to and install "Dm-Verify remove zip"

6. Navigate to and install "RMM State Bypass zip"

7. Reboot to Recovery

8. Navigate to and Install this ROM

9. Navigate to and install GAPPS (I use nano - opengapps.org)

10. Navigate to and Install Magisk

11. Reboot to System

12. Wait 3 minutes

13. Force Reboot Phone

It should now work fine.

I hope this helps :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] u0aol:
I've been thinking about this, when I installed Havoc, Gapps and Magisk, I did them all at the same time without any reboots.

Reboot TWRP (Are you using the unofficial TWRP with SAR? This was updated to official so make sure to grab the latest build from the TWRP thread or the official website if you didn't already)

Install Havoc

Install Gapps,

Install Magisk

Reboot system

Wait

Force reboot

Then install and configure your apps.

I don't know if that will make any difference but I hope it helps! :)

Does anyone have a solution to this?
[Touch GSM General] dsixda:
I have a question regarding the Extended ROM. I've read that this is the part that is executed whenever the device is hard reset and goes through the "Customization" phase (after the 3-second message).

Whenever we use the "nbhextract.exe" command on a shipped ROM, it produces an "ExtROM.nb" file which is separate from the OS.nb file. So that means our OS backups should not contain the ExtROM... However whenever I restore my ROM backup of my device, it does do the Customization, which means that the ExtROM actually is there, right??

Another confusing thing is that I remember a few times in the Device Info screen the ExtROM version would show up after a couple of resets (after restoring my OS backup). I cannot get it showing now, however.

There is a registry setting that can also show the Extended_ROM directory but it's not working for me either:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315588

So my question is, is it really true that the Customization IS the Extended ROM and also, why is it being executed when I didn't even back that up?? If anyone can clear this up for me, that would be great :)
[Touch GSM General] Noonski:
Custumisation can also be run without having an Ext rom.

The Autorun looks a t a registry setting that points to it's configuration file.

This Conifguration "config.txt" file in stock roms points most commands to the files on the \Ext_rom partition\

In most cases the config.txt file is only in the ext rom so autorun might run but not find the config file then quit.

Un custom roms the registry is changed and all files that then run in custimasation are simply in the Windows folder or it can be disabled.

It might be that some stock roms have a mix of files that need to be executed from ext_rom and some from Windows. But that should result in an error for the files it cannot execute from the ext_rom.
[Touch GSM General] dsixda:
Ok, I just found an old backup of my documents and programs that I made with Spb Backup. It was made before I did any installs of ROMs to my device back in March. My ExtRom version now shows up in the Device Info (which probably answers the question of why I saw it show up after reboot!) Thank god I have an original Spb backup of the device!

The registry setting to show the ExtRom directory doesn't work, however. I'm still working on it.. (EDIT: I probably can't see it now because only the original intact ROM would contain the ExtROM.. I am just using the OS backup now)

Thanks Noonski, your answer probably answered the question as to why my OS backup hangs after doing the Customization. It's likely installing from the Windows directory but then looks for the ExtROM directory and can't find it, so it hangs. I'm going to see if I can back up my ExtROM files and then somehow make it into a ROM.

Edit: If anyone has a Rogers Elfin that has been unmodified, could you please PM me and let me know if that registry trick works. I'd like to have a copy of the Extended ROM directory and make it into a ROM backup.
[Touch GSM General] Noonski:
This can be easily modified using Hypercore to dump the rom.

The look at the Rom/XIP folder and adjust the boot.rgu and the .rgu in OEM operators.

Or just change the config.txt in oemoparators.

Then recook the files into NBH file.

Since you are allready taking it apart it already is missing the original HTC signature after using HTCRT.
[Touch GSM General] dsixda:
Aha! Thanks for the tip... this is what the config.txt says under /Windows:

LOCK:Enabled

EXEC:\WINDOWS\cusTSK.exe \WINDOWS\Rogers_White.tsk

XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml

CAB: \WINDOWS\pIE_Default_Page_Rogers.CAB

CAB: \WINDOWS\PT_PIE_DEFAULT_0409.CAB

CAB: \WINDOWS\DoMore.CAB

CFG: \Extended_ROM\Config.txt

Just taking out that line will probaby do the trick... However I want to get the entire ROM replicated, so it'll require me to get the Extended_ROM out.

I also found a cool tool by AnDim that can construct an ExtROM.nb from the Extended_ROM directory files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303049
[Touch GSM General] Noonski:
Simply using Total Commander without any registry tweak.

Type in \EXTENDED_ROM

To get into the folder (original rom flash.)

And copy over the files and put these into any SYStem folder.

You would get the rom replicated without losing the space to EXT_rom partition.

EXT_Rom is So 90's ;)

At least on the ELF
[Touch GSM General] dsixda:
Ok, there was someone on the forums here (Boodah) who happened to have an unmodified Rogers Elfin with an intact ExtROM. So, using TFAT Image Editor I was able to make a working OS + ExtROM :D Now it functions like its original version ;)

Thanks for the Total Commander tip.. with that app I was able to verify the ExtROM was flashed on my Elfin.
[Touch GSM General] Noonski:
Ah your not cooking it completly.

That would gain you at least 10MB
[Touch GSM General] dsixda:
Yeah the ExtROM has to be 10,240MB or else it will not flash properly. But I want it to be like the original.

Anyways, nobody uses the original software anyway ;-) But the backup is there for people who need it for warranty or selling purposes.
[Touch GSM General] Noonski:
Aye, hear that, all contribution, great work.

I thought this was just about making a stripped version.
