Why not 6.0?

its still OK if you want 6.0 which is marshmallow. You can go ahead with it

You guys are not allowing the guy teach us how to root and install custom rom. . Am using an s4 and it's now boring. Save the questions for later please

dont won't brother am ready to answer any Samsung related issues.. As long as its Android.. What model of s4 are you using.. 19505 or 19500...or is it branded version

So today I will teaching foundational level for rooting and installing recovery mode and custom roms on Samsung phones..
Step 1
Make sure your phone is fully charged to like 70 percent at most
Step 2
Go to your Android setting click on about device.. You will see build number click on it 7 times to activate developer options.. This is to indicate that your are ready to tweak the software system of the phone
Step 3...i guess by then you already know the version of phone your using ..if you don't know it... Go to about device you will see it there..
So make sure the following tools and files are available readily on your PC..i will drop link below to access this files
USB cable.. With high speed transfer capabilities not just anyhow cable so that odin can detect your phone when plugged to the system
Samsung drivers or Samsung kies[this is Samsung official system package just like Nokia PC suite then.. This Samsung kies automatically installs the Samsung drivers on the system without need to download Samsung drivers]
Odin 1.85 or Odin 3
CF auto root for your phone model[this is the best rooting file for Samsung phones.. While we have kingoroot oneroot..and others this one is fail proof no error or mishap ]
For custom recovery I will recommend TWRP[team win recovery project ]it's cool and more better to understand.. But you can still use CWM[clockworld mode ]
Please make sure you download the correct files.. I repeat make sure you download the correct files for your model...
Now start odin In your PC everything will be done on PC except installing the custom rom.. But rooting and recovery mode will be done with a PC
Now put your phone in download mode.. By switching off your phone.. Press and hold power button.. Home button.. And volume button at the same time.. For like 5 seconds once the screen boot up let go of just the power button..
Then you will see a screen that says downloading do not turn kf target
With Odin already started on the PC.. Plug your phone to the system ..
Once plugged the odin will indicate a yellow signal on the top left on it meaning it has detected your phone..odin will also show a command write up that it has detected your phone
You are 20 percent done...
Step 2
Click on AP or PDA depends on the version of the Odin you downloaded but anyway it's serves the same function..
Before will you have extracted the files from the CF auto root package you downloaded..click on the auto root file and click open.. It will be show on the AP or PDA dialog..
Now that's set your 70 percent there
Click on start.. Odin will run a series of command on your it... Your phone will show a green light going from left to right.. Once it has reached the right. Odin will indicate pass.. Then your phone will show up some code command for like 10 seconds it will reboot..
Congratulations you have successfully rooted your phone without any hassles or issue..once your phone boot ..go to app drawer you will see superuser app.. Click on it....
For installing TWRP... Use the same step you used for rooting
But when clicking on AP or PDA click on the TWRP file you downloaded
Note.. All files for rooting and twrp are in .TAR format.. That's only format odin detects.. So make sure the twrp and cf auto root and in that format when you open them..the CF auto root is a Zip file when you download it.. But when opened its tar file

If you have any questions please feel free to ask
Success process should like the pictures below.. I would have posted a video of me doing it.. But since nairaland don't allow videos upload

Which one is better?

yeman1:

Alright , thanks .

19500 and it's not branded

lastburn:


19500 and it's not branded

use the procedures I illustrated up there.. If you have any questions.. I will put you through.. Download those files needed. I9500 is very easy to root and install twrp.. There is also an s8 rom for that model.. Very clean and cool... Root the phone.. Trying flashing twrp version 2.8.0 ..specifically.. After that I will explain how to download and install the custom rom

justine94:
stop coming up how. Like its not booting at all

yes!

walcolm:


yes!

did you try flashing or installing any file by yourself or you had that way

i installed a custom ROM from cyanogen mod previously then after a while it started acting up..finally, it stopped booting

It was today that I realized that d note 4 i bought is fake
I want to install android version 6.0 on the device
D model on the phone is sm-n910f
Whereas the real model on the downloading mode is sm-n910v
And I wasted 3.6 gig of data to download official firmware on sammobile to install on my note 4. It was when I wanted to flash the firmware on it that I saw it that the phone was not SM-N910F
And plus the rom inside the phone was not official rom, it was custom rom. So I went online to know about this problem,, some said it should be returned cos I was cheated. Some said if I install the real rom, I won't have 4G network. And so many more�������

wow ..very unfortunate to hear that.. So sorry.. Your case is a very rare case called HARDBRICk..it seems the rom you flashed has alot of bugs on it.. With time your phone system could not contain it.. Leading to complete shut down.. Cynagon roms are not really my best friends.. I hardly flashed any of their roms.. Well since its not booting.. Let me do some research on how we could fix it and get back to you

yeah I have seen cases like this..the phone is not fake actually.. It's refurbished.. It's a Verizon model [sm-910v] which was then refurbished to an international version... A case of a friend s3 his download mode says i9300v but about device says i9300[ general exynos version ]..putting and flashing incompatible roms can be very risky sometimes...

Pls how can I install blue light filter and aod on my j7prime it's running on Oreo os

justine94:
the issue is the stock rom software..it has been corrupted.. . Did you try installing or flashing or rooting the phone of recent.. Bootlooping is mostly caused my this..

what is the possible solution because i have tried flashing the tab several times without success

yeman1:

well I would advise to download the model and version that is seen in the download mode.. Not the one in the about device

Ok, thanks

My S4 model is SGH1337 and d build no is LRX22C1337MVLUGOHI While d one on net is LRX22C1337MUMUGOHI can I go ahead

Op, i wish you have a rom for my galaxy A8000 2015 version since Samsung has forgotten us..i learnt that other variants have been updated to 7.0 but am stock with 5.1 no update whatever

yours is a branded s4 ATandT if am not wrong.. It depends if the firmware is compatible with your phone.. The build number is not really and issue. What your concern should be is that any firmware I plan to flash on my phone must be compatible with my phone.. So as long as the firmware is for galaxy s4 sgh1337.. You have no worries
