Installation procedure

IS MANDATORY TO BE ON ANDROID 13

FW

BEFORE FLASHING ThinROM !!!

0) Backup ALL your important files to PC, ext drives, etc

1) Download and copy the latest ThinROM zip into your external storage or USB stick if you're on stock fw encrypted

2) Download GWB1 stock FW for your phone model using Frija or Samfw and unpack it on your PC

3) Boot in download mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + plug the USB cable connected already to PC) and load up Odin on PC

Don't use USB adapters otherwise you might get issues flashing FW in Odin

Turn off Auto Reboot in Odin

4) Select files BL, AP, CP & HOME_CSC (keep data)

**do not start flash yet

5) Download latest compatible TWRP for your specific device from the official TWRP xda thread (link above), rename it to recovery.img. Download the patched vbmeta.img file from above and rename vbmeta.img. Using 7Zip app add the 2 files (recovery.img and vbmeta.img) into a .tar file.

6) Add the above twrp + vbmeta patched.tar file into the USERDATA slot in Odin

7) Uncheck the auto reboot option in Odin and start the flashing

8) When flashing completes (keep usb plugged in !!!), hold Vol Down + Power buttons and then as soon as the screen goes black hold Vol Up + Power buttons to boot to recovery

*be warned first time you boot into recovery it will initialize and then reboot so just keep the buttons Vol Up + Power buttons pressed longer

**if you boot in stock FW, your data will be encrypted and you'll need to wipe your data before flashing ThinROM

9) When boot in TWRP, wipe your data if you're encrypted, flash ThinROM zip and then reboot to system

10) After the first boot, open Magisk Manager and reply with YES (agree to reboot) after MM have setup your root environment

*after reboot, go to Magisk Manager settings and toggle On Zygisk

10) Enjoy....

1. Backup to PC all your important files: documents, pictures, contacts, SMS, etc. BEFORE starting to flash anything

2. If you have issues booting the ROM, try the clean flash

3. To boot into TWRP you need to use a USB cable connected to PC (same for DL mode) or a USB stick

4. If you like my work, consider buying me a coffee.

Enjoy!
