21/06/17: HMM. Seems as if selling my old phone was a bit of a mistake, aye? This phone now has Official Resurrection Remix rom support and Official LineageOS rom support. Wonder is anyone is interested in this ROM still ?

The English translations are very good. Only downside is the Chinese only text in prompts and stock apps.
Can this be used on Oppo R7sf devices?

Yes, I found this.

Just follow the instructions as above.
I tried it on mine and it worked, a little too much bloat for my liking and way more in Chinese than English. Getting gapps to work even though I installed them was a pain. Then again I installed my gapps as zip, maybe the apk method works better?
Feel free to give it a whirl.

The rom is for r7plus m?

Gapps - Easiest Working Method To Have It
My experience with the new rom
No problems at all but here is what I noticed from using it for 2 days or more
On MT7-TL10
The ram shows 3.5 instead of 3 GB RAM but no harm of the
The battery optimization could be more good the drain about 10% faster or less on my experience compared to stock
Some Chinese apps still in Chinese ( 3 apps )
Emui camera still exists next to MIUI one
Power off and restart screen still emui one
It some time look strange but still functioning as usual
Sounds effects part doesn't work
Not enough to stop me to use it as daily driver
More smooth than emui with a lot
Faster with multitasking
No problem at all

I uploaded the zip to Google Drive, I had to download it from the pan.baidu website with a tampermonkey script...
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BxqrJWqvGdQINGxjaUg5NnhXZDA&export=download
Here's a tip, make sure you boot and run through normal setup after flashing, and THEN flash gapps after.
Also, you should lower your dpi, it's too high for a phone like this with such a big screen.

First thing it will work only on redmi 3s LAND
It won't work on other device ok.
Well if u really ask the real developer the MIUI which constructed whole ROM. Then the one u r referring need to ask for permission .. MIUI apps aren't open-source which is used in this ROM. But I don' wanna contradiction.
No one can stop using any ROM to anyone , me , you ,him or any other..
I got the ROM now even if it doesn't update it still better and i have other friend who can help me fork but i don't have resources so i just helping this way..
People tend to see other ways.. tell me really

(Don't care for thanks or whatever)so.
Not just telling u but in all..
Just enjoy everyone who is passionate and creating ... Customised ROMs.
Someone plz give direct download link
1. write who is creator of this port
2. sources are wrong
Hey, I am am planning to flash this tomorrow first thing. In the link provided in the OP, the 'system v2' folder says to download from the porter until you upload there. I have downloaded the files from @fxsheep from the original port thread. Can I just add the 'boot+modem+vendor' files provided by you to the original files by @fxsheep and restore through twrp?
I am new to this GSI thing so need to clear this out before I take any further steps.
That's the purpose

However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.
INSTALL BOOTLOADER & MODEM
You can flash Bootloader & Modem with two methods:
Combined: [Recommended]
1. Download Odin and the COMBINED BOOTLOADER _MODEM.tar for your variant to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot your device to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.down + Home Button and run Odin from your PC as administrator.
3. Put the COMBINED BOOTLOADER_MODEM.tar to AP section, untick Auto-Reboot, flash!
4. When It's done, reboot your device by pressing Power Button for couple of seconds.
Seperate:
1. Download Odin, the BOOTLOADER.tar and MODEM .tar for your variant to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot your device to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.down + Home Button and run Odin from your PC as administrator
3. Put the BOOTLOADER to BL section and MODEM to CP section, untick Auto-Reboot and flash!
4. When It's done, reboot your device by pressing Power Button for couple of seconds.
Notes:
Check what version of Modem and Bootloader you have with apps like Device Info HW.
If Modem & Bootloader didn't changed to the version you wanted, do the same steps again with the method you have selected.
If for some reason Odin failed to flash, make sure your run Odin as adminstrator, try to change USB Port in your PC and don't move the cable during flash. Also if you have Odin and the files on an External hard drive, move Odin and all the files you want to flash, into one folder to your Main Drive for example C: drive.
For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock ROM then you need to have QK1 Modem/Bootloader. On Custom ROMs doesn't matter. You can have any Modem/BL of your variant you want but recommend is always the latest.
INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
ODIN Method (No TWRP Recovery currently installed)
1. Download Odin and the .tar file of the TWRP to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.Down + Home Button.
3. Run Odin as adminstrator > connect your device to PC > put the .tar file of TWRP in AP section > untick Auto-Reboot in options and flash.
4. Done! Restart to TWRP Recovery. (power button+vol.up+home button)
Recovery Method (TWRP Recovery already installed)
1. Download .img of TWRP Recovery. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.
6. Go back and Reboot to Recovery.
7. Done! Your new recovery should be installed.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
Note: If you have issues after flash check possible solutions here:
Check integrity of all downloads (compare checksums), do the downloads again.
Make sure you Wiped everything and Formated Data (format data not just wipe) except external SDCard and USB OTG.
Flash only the ROM (without GApps and Magisk) and check if the problem persists. If yes, flash another ROM.
Try other GApps package.
If nothing helps, go back to stock and start from scratch.
Note: You can also Flash Custom ROM using ADB sideload Method.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Install the latest Bootloader & Modem for your S4 variant. [Read the Install Bootloader & Modem Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
TWRP Recovery.
Custom ROM of your choice.
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARM and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root. [Optional]
4. Move all these files in one folder to your PC or to External SDCard if you have one.
5. Install TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Turn off your device and Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk (you need to download it again if you previously had it in Internal Storage) then reboot to system and enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System and Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional]
5. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
CLEAN INSTALL OFFICIAL STOCK ROM
Note: For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock ROM then you need to have QK1 Modem/Bootloader. On Custom ROMs doesn't matter. You can have any Modem/BL of your variant you want but recommend is always the latest.
1. Download the latest stock ROM (Firmware), Modem & Bootloader for your variant, TWRP Recovery (.tar file) and ODIN to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]

Battery Calibration
Method 1
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Method 2
Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
Steps:
1. Get "GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
8. Unplug and have fun!
Battery Capacity Health
Notes:
1) Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.
To find battery capacity in Windows:
Enable Developer options in your device.
Enable USB Debugging in your device.
Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.
To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
Download an android terminal app like Termux,
Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

ShutUP10++ , Privacy.Sexy: Disable major tracking features of Windows.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at Droid-ify.
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUp10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

Initial Release
Hi guys,
I can't manage to install the Bootloader & Modem via Odin on my phone.
Does the phone need to be already rooted in order to install the B&M?
Attached is also the capture I took when rebooting the phone in Download mode.
I selected "reboot to bootloader" in order to install the B&M, because otherwise Odin won't detect that the phone is connected to the PC. Probably I'm doing something wrong.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How did you do that? I'm not aware of such a reboot option.
You should boot into download mode (see above for how to). It should look like attached picture 1
In Odin, before you start flashing, you should see a success message "<ID ... Added!! If not, you should check if you have all required driver installed for your device.

Hi Retrial, first of all this is a really useful post thank you so much!
I just bought a brand new S4 GT-I9505 and I used the latest TWRP in your post wich is twrp-3.5.1_9-0-jflte.img.tar for flashing lineage-17.1-20210116-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.zip and I have some question if you are so kind to aswer me:
I want to update the firmware so I downloaded the last one for Italy from Updato.com which is I9505XXUHPK2 (Genuary 2017) and I would like to know if is a good idea to flash it with Odin and if I have to fresh re-installing Lineage. Then I would like to know if after updating the firmware I can update only XXUHQC1_BOOTLOADER and XXUHQC1_COMBINED which are the international versions and obviously the most recent versions.
Do you think is possible? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards

Hello,
If you flash firmware u need to reflash lineageos from start along with twrp. U can only do it via Odin.
Btw use the latest for your variant from my collection. Doesn't matter the country.
Flashing firmware=flashing stock rom. Why u want to do that if u are already in los?
You can flash bootloader and modem seperate yes (but I recommend to use my combined .tar which include both of them), without the need to flash everything again. Just go to Odin and flash the combined .tar I have made to AP. Once again, all the latest versions are included in my collection, doesn't matter the country so just use them.
All the infos and steps you need are in my collection and guides. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi thanks for your fast response! I want to flash an updated firmware because my S4 GT-I9505 is new and probably from an old stock so the firmware is for sure the old one (2013-2014) ,right now in lineage os in setting/info I can't see the current version of baseband. I don't care if I have to re-install Lineage and the recovery, I had to do it before installing Lineage, I know I forgot it... but I wanted just to know if is possible to do now without breaking something. Now you say that it doesn't make sense and that is better to just flash your combined Modem and Bottloader package, is it correct? What's your advice: installing your last complete firmware or just the combined Bootloader and Modem package? I red somewhere in this forum that it's better to update the firmware before installing lineage so I wanted to do the installation again in the right way. Sorry if it's an annoying question I'm not an expert and I want just to be sure. Thank you so much for your support.

Just follow what Retrial said; flashing his combo-file will accomplish what you want. Starting from scratch like you wanna do isn't any better.
I flashed bootloaders and modems so often, I can't even remember. Flashing stock firmware? Maybe once!

Firmware=Stock Samsung ROM. Firmware does not include Modem & Bootloader. So even if u flash Firmware u have to also flash Bootloader & Modem.
Now you say that u are on lineageos, I don't know what version you are but you can flash via Odin the combined .tar file which include Bootloader & Modem and then clean install via TWRP the latest LineageOS along with latest GApps if you use.
If you want to start from scratch-fresh then follow my Guides: "Clean Install Official Stock ROM" and then the guide "Clean Install Custom ROM".
With few words: go to TWRP wipe everything, the connect ur device to PC and flash via Odin the latest Firmware (stock ROM). Let it boot and then flash via Odin the latest Bootloader & Modem. Then flash TWRP and clean install the latest LineageOS with GApps (optional).
Everything you need is on my collection and all steps in my guides. Since u have i9505 variant you need the latest Firmware/Modem & Bootloader which is I9505XXUHQK1.
Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.

Wow your instructions are absolutely detailed and useful, thank you so much Retrial for your support.! I'll opt for the "start from scratch-fresh" install by following your guides. If I can take advantage of your competence I would like to ask you just one last advice: I switched to Lineage OS for privacy reasons (I don't like google so I don't need GApps) and I also use it for sharing internet to my MacBook Pro with USB tethering (not wifi tethering which is not safe for privacy) so do you think that the Optimized Lineage OS (Android 10) version from JDCTeam is the right version for me? May I use the Android 11 version? Probably I'm asking you to much things and I can understand if you can't answer me, you have been really kind and I really appreciated your help. Anyway I'll post here my experience with "start from scratch-fresh instal" .
Anything for the AT&T S4 Active (+) variant?

Don't worry mate, ask whatever you want. I will help if I can.
Optimized LineageOS 10 is great but it's EOL (end of life). Optimized LineageOS 11 is also great and it's currently under development.
But since you are looking for privacy & security it's better to use Official LOS with guarantee monthly security patches cause lately optimized los stays a bit behind on updates. (Dev is busy) Soon official 11 will also be released.

WARNING
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Haleluja, its here!! Great amazing work! OMG I'm so excited! Let's go!!
Thanks alot !!! Finally I can unpack my S22 Ultra ^^ and use it as real Phone
Proud to be the first worldwide to have a Custom ROM, FULL ROOT, Adblock etc on a S22 Ultra Exynos
Community LOVE for you!! ♥♥♥♥♥
EDIT: HERE IS THE GUIDE TO USE FOR EXYNOS (still testing)
Ok, so basically find and download the firmware (S908BXXU1AVC6 for EU - or ask me for the File..) to the phone eather with the Phone itself or trought USB-Cable, install magisk.apk from here, unpack the zip file from Firmware and patch the ap file via magisk, get the files to the pc and use odin to flash the patched Firmware.
of course unlock bootloader before and go to download mode.
Here is how to do that:
Guide to root Galaxy S22 Ultra (B/E/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)
Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

You can try on exynos (only module, no root files). If it doesn't work then maximum you needs is to factory reset.
In that case I may consider to make separate rom

I think its much better to make separate only for Exnos variant? So that files for SD will not be included, correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also been using your ROM since my Note 9.

Huge thx my bro
ok, so great news, it works at least for exynos as well!
Safetynet also works!
Problems so far:
Can't change my keyboard - UI restarts
com.android.phone closes down
and it says system is unstable - please do a factory restore - on boot up.
But all in all it seems to work, with root etc.
Thx Dr My bro. Hopefully we can have the Exynos version seperatly if possible and not too much of your time consuming.
