Hi all,
I currently have Lineage OS 14.1 installed on my device and I am looking to downgrade to a Marshmallow ROM so that I can take advantage of xposed framework until it is released on Nougat.
How do I go about downgrading my device? Will a clean flash through TWRP work or are there more steps to it? Your advice is much appreciated
Clean flash is enough
It will relock your BL though.
UPDATE!

NEWS!
So, I've been busy at school lately to prepare my final exam. I also finally got around to clean up this messy thread and re-design it a little. OK, let's get to the point. I found Samsung's ENG BOOT.IMG for our device a few weeks ago. What is a ENG BOOT.IMG? Basically, it's Samsung's engineering boot image used to test this device. What feature does it benefit us? With this boot image, you can get SELinux permissive (Yup. I've said that. PERMISSIVE! Still not enough? You need to get your eyes fixed LOL (Just joking). I think flashing this with Odin 3 won't trip the KNOX warranty because why would Samsung make a boot.img that would trip the company's own warranty, am I right?
Oh yeah, If you follow my thread a few months ago, you will know that my phone actually fell and broke it's screen. My phone is finally fixed!!! Yay!!! Also, there is no damage to the motherboard. Thank god. I also have a bad news, as my examination starts at October of this year and I'm busy preparing for my examination, my promised custom stock based ROM will need to wait until November/December to finish making customizations to it. My previous attempt to boot the ROM still has many random application force closes. I'm sorry for not making my promises to finish up the custom ROM a few months ago. I hope people waiting for my ROM for so long will accept my apologise. Thank you.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT! MAY THE J1 (2016) GROW EVEN MORE AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL!!
As someone has problems with WiTeX ROM, I have the original version (Maybe the first or second release of this ROM) from... maybe April or May 2017? I uploaded the file to MediaFire. This is old version. The UI (User Interface) is Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I cannot guarantee if this version fixes the VoLTE. I haven't used VoLTE for almost 3 years on this phone. I also cannot test this as my phone is in a very very bad condition (Screen cracked as hell. No display etc.). Luckily Vysor (by Koush Dutta) saved the day and I was still able to use this phone. I was very lucky because I left USB Debugging open (Without it open, I can never use this phone again). I use the phone by connecting it via USB to my laptop. I cannot use recovery mode (TWRP) because Vysor doesn't support casting from TWRP (and it never will support that feature).

EXTRA!!!
I have compiled a custom kernel based on J120GDXU1APF2 kernel source and J120GDXU1AQD1 boot loader. It should be compatible with all of the ROMs above (including stock ROM). I personally tested this custom kernel in @javad490's WITEX ROM and my tweaked stock ROM. It worked flawlessly. Also if you're using Smart Manager, please flash this j120F-kenel-sec-fix.zip in recovery as Smart Manager keeps reporting "Thread detected" message because of the custom kernel installed. If you're not using Smart Manager, good news! No need to flash that zip. I will post what's added and removed from the kernel as my computer is not with me now.
Proof
Oh yeah, SELinux permissive* and compiled with Linaro too!
Actually it's not that hard to compile a kernel from source because even I a 13 year old kid can do this. So it's not impossible to compile a kernel if you're older than me or whatsoever. All knowledge are gained from experience and patience. Good luck if you're learning to compile a kernel.

Hello, I've downloaded CleanStockEdition v1.1 and tested that MTP is working well on my PC. Have you tried reinstalling the rom or download a new copy of the CleanStockEdition v1.1 rom? Have you also tried installing Samsung USB Drivers? If not, link is provided above in the first thread.
Here are the screenshots I've taken in my PC to show that MTP is working.

I'm sorry but cm 13 and cm 14 are not supported on this model. Developers at 4PDA (Russian Forums) also discussed on this topic and and said that cm 13 and cm 14 are considered off-topic because it is not supported on this phone. Porting ROMs are also not possible where I and @javad490 tried to port Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) from SM-J120A (Samsung Galaxy Express 3) and Samsung Galaxy J2 but failed. Even though we successfully built cyanogen/lineage, it may not boot or have more bugs than you can use. Currently, we don't have any developer who is advanced enough (correct me if I'm wrong) to build or maintain cyanogen/lineage on this phone. I hope anybody who is reading this and using a Galaxy J1 will understand this problem.
Thank you.

Don't be sorry! I created this thread to discuss about Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016). Yes, SM-J120G and SM-J120F ROMs are the same. Everything is same. Only the name are different. You can install SM-J120F ROMs on SM-J120G.
Sorry for the late reply! Hope you can forgive me!

Thanks for all . For a SM-J510FN: the web line is dead .
Hello everybody,this is my first post .
***********************
Thanks to XDA I rooted my device and installed Resurrection Remix Oreo for my Lenovo K3 Note, which I am loving inspite of some bugs I will mention at the end.
***********************
The whole point behind installing a custom ROM is to unleash the potential of your Android Device. But, after installing I am unable to root my device.
***********************
ROM Name : Resurrection Remix
Android Version : Oreo 8.1.0
RR-OS version : RR-O-v6.1.0-20180707
Device Name : Lenovo K3 Note
Device Model : k50a40
Recovery Flashed : TWRP 2.8.7.0
Something Copied : (k50a40_S324_160328_ROW)
**********************
I just want to root my device and use the great apps like Greenify, Titanium Backup etc.
***********************
I have tried flashing all the SuperSU Zips I can get my hands on .
Some failed but some succeeded but even after getting a "Successful" message, when I boot to system there is no SuperSu APK and guess what root checker says NO ROOT.
**********************
I tried Flashing Magisk but it straight up failed.
Something like "---------- patched by another program."
**********************
Please let me know what should I do in order to get the ROOT access. Thanks in advance.
***********************
Additional Help :
Most of the apps on Resurrection Remix are crashing.
I don't like the UI of the Google Dialer, I will love to change it if I can.
Lenovo K3 Note had Dolby which I need so badly.
**********************
Thanks for Reading Assassin Ghost out.
Try SP flash tool you would just need a MT6752 scatter file, I guess. Could you please tell me if it's official resurrection remix and the source as well. Thanks
Can you provide the link of your ROM please.
GDrive links in needrom and other sites are not containing the ROM,maybe they deleted it
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I would like to have a walkthrough or tutorial of how can I root my devide. My device is Samsung Galaxy J4 (SM-J400M) and I wonder if I could install LineageOS or something.
I don't care much about the OS - once I only require the possibility to install Android Apps (including Google Play, Whatsapp, Youtube, Telegram etc). The main focus is to get root access and that's all.
Please, I'm a complete newbie in this field XD

Rooting method depends on the firmware version you currently have installed.
