Found you. Nice one mate
sent from dans R.I.C.E powered V8+ on one of jesses kernels

Great work [emoji6][emoji16]

@SoLdieR9312
Welcome & thanks for this!

Hängt in Samsung logo kein booten. Bin nach der obigen Anleitung vorgegangen

You need a ROM on AQG5 or higher, it'll not boot with old software. In addition zips confirmed working by 30+ others, so something at your end.

Danke, werde mich mal damit beschäftigen

help, i stuck on bootloader, i try to flash recovery not odin keep showing failed

Thanks for doing this!
Easier access for more people than directing them to, say, the Renovate website.
I have a question (or suggestion), if you don't mind: is there a reason why flashing the firmware zip entails an auto-reboot?
Maybe it's only me, but when I flash a ROM and firmware on other devices, it didn't matter what order I flashed the ROM or firmware. An auto-reboot script necessitates that firmware be last in the TWRP flash queue, and that a ROM be flashed first (when clean flashing).
This is not a criticism at all, I'm just honestly wondering why auto-reboot is there... Is it a safety reason?
Thanks for any info!

You need a special reboot to save firmware to phone. If you just go back to twrp and flash something other, firmware will not saved. So no way to remove the auto reboot at the end.

Hi @SoLdieR9312, because of this fact, should I flash the rom first, ej. Renovate 4.0 under TWRP 3.1.1.1 and then secondly this frmware? Thanks.

Yeah you can do so.

can I use it with stock firmware too?

Only if you are using TWRP already.

opps, no mirrors found??

probably afh issues again, try on pc or try again later

I just tried the update from AQDG to AQH3, and it totally soft-bricked my phone, I even had to reflash TWRP, but it still does not boot. Anything I might be doing wrong here?

AQH3 needs a AQG5 or higher software to boot.. you probably was on old, because your fimrware is the first one that came with s8 in april Oo
You need to update mate.

Is there any new bootloader/modems for the S8+ note 8 ports or still AQH3

Why use this ROM ???
For the simple reason that if you like having the latest official update without modifications to make things your way, but want to have bugs that lead often changes made ​​by developers, if you want to keep track unlocking the bootloader (there were rumors that in an update could become blocked from using Bump! to release the bootloader and would lose all ability to install roms.
Features:
Last Firmware D855
Root & Busybox
Adblock Host
Removed gapps that are available in playstore (book, magazine, youtube, gmail, chrome, hangout etc.)
Disabled LG OTA (I will only disable firmware updates, the apps for the lg will be available without problem).
Installation:
Root & TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614)
Download Zip and copy
Reboot in TWRP
Full Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System & Data if it is the first time you install, should be a next update reaches only to wipe cache and dalvik but mistakes is advisable to perform a clean installation)
Install Zip
Reboot
WARNING !!!!
The rom only contains what is described above, the rest is 100% stock. The installer performs the same only wipe system alone so the other wipes borne by each user.
Excludes bootloader and modem, only system and kernel.

Backup-Restore function working fine so far, only issue I am seeing is phone is heating up pretty faster than before while backing up in compression mode.
Another minor thing is that earlier when entering recovery mode a purple light used to blink, now its missing.
Just saw this now and I'm really grateful. Big ups to you, man. Great work.
And I was afraid there would be no 3.2.1 for this device; 
 @Chippa_a makes it possible - intensified thanks! :highfive::good::good:

I can't flash the zip because twrp does not give access to that part of the storage, weird.

Weird. Try using flash tool to fastboot the image if the flashable zip doesn't work for you.
Updated from TWRP, backup/restore works, no problems so far apart from it needs more than a minute till TWRP GUI appears after boot. Thanks for update.
Do you use the stock kernel? I installed the recovery built by oshmoun in the omnirom thread. It uses the aosp kernel. It starts faster, has a better sdcard naming and can flash oem images. Maybe you could try this kernel.
I use stock kernel (Pexorom 4.5) so this may be the reason for the delay.
I mean the kernel used with the recovery, not the rom kernel.

This is what i did. Download img, place file on phone. Download twrp app, pick choose a file, browse to recovery.img, flash. Power off, boot to recovery = win.
Reboot to system, retry installing new update = great success.

Sorry, I didn't get it... kernels everywhere.
However, flashing with fastboot leads to the same delayed start. Strange.

I dont know if there is a connection, but i've tested the recovery with OmniROM 7.1.2, where display is not responding. It can be installed, shows 3.2.1, but display remains dead 4 touch.
Give this one a try:

Same result, whether fastboot or flashtool, display is dead.
Certainly missed ODM LOIRE v12, v11 is installed.
Not really sure is the latest bootloader.
Does restoring a backup change the bootloader as well?
Edit: Solved: the answer is 'yes'.
3.2.1 does not work @7.1.2 restore because of outdated bootloader.

What I do not understand, maybe bootloader or encryption, but why is 3.2.1 not backwards compatible on Suzu?
Is Omni 7.1.2 kernel (more I have not tried) or not current boot loader the reason?

I'm glad that you finally managed to crack this damn decryption. I felt really bad with my broken promise of delivering the working build. I'm sorry, guys. @Chippa_a congratulations on your hard work

Introduction
Hi to all dear Z3c users. This is my first TWRP build, I used omni minimal TWRP source and kernel from Sony git.
I hope you enjoy this.
How to install
Fist of all you MUST flash lastest 23.5.A.1.291 firmware with FlashTool at least one time, for upgrade the bootloader (You need this upgrade for boot on recovery).
Via fastboot
Reboot your phone on fastboot mode.
Flash recovery using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel <filename>
Via zip (You need a working recovery installed)
Download the zip and put it on your internal or external memory.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash the zip.
Via Official TWRP App (You need root)
Install the app from Google Play Store and download the zip.
Extract recovery.img and copy it to your internal or external memory.
Open the app, give root permissions and tap on TWRP FLASH.
Tap on Select a file to flash...
Select the recovery.img and flash it.
Download
TWRP

FAQs
Q. How boot on recovery?
A. With the device turned off, press power and vol- at same time until it vibrates.
Q. Does it works with stock or custom ROMs?
A. At this momment I know that it is fully compatible with stock ROMs (or stock based ROMs) but at this momment is not tested with custom ROMs, so you users have to test it and report.
Installed the TWRP 3.2.3-0 on CarbonROM 6.1 (Android 8.1). So far so good, seems alright to me.

Yeah but the question is if this recovery works for flash custom ROMs, I know that it work perfectly with stock roms, if you can test it and report here, I really apreciate.

Just tried flashing the latest Carbon and it worked for me. Haven't tested flashing stock ROMs myself though
Just tried to install the zip on my Z3 compact.
My phone has full encryption enabled (complete including the sd card).
Your build of TWRP is not able to decrypt the phone.
It always tells me "Password failed, please try again!" even though the given passsword is correct (I can start the system with the same one).
amazing
Installed on OMNI with TWRPapp, flahed Carbon and then RR.
All it was fine and, finally, no "Error 7".
Thank you for this!
I have a question, I have encrypted my device (CarbonRom cr6) and now when I try to access TWRP I draw my security pattern and I get a failed to decrypt message.
The pattern is the one I use on a daily basis to use my device so this is related to TWRP. Any suggestion?
Maybe this twrp has a problem with support encription?
Carbon ROM expects TWRP with ro.build.product or ro.product.device equal z3c (not aries) . Modified original image using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...because-of-empty-system.3554252/post-85881113
For Lineage (18.1), this (3.3.1) TWRP version is recommended, but it seems to have issues preserving the survival scripts (e.g. of Magisk) over OTAs. Unfortunately, the device isn't supported on twrp.me

Accidentally Wiped Everything with TWRP

Hello xdadevelopers,
I recently bought myself the Poco F1 and tried to follow LTT's guide on how to make the Poco F1 like a Pixel, but I accidentally wiped everything (by going into additional settings and clicking every box). I can still access TWRP, but can't seem to install the custom rom (errors).
Is there anything I can do to continue with the process of making my phone like a pixel? I'm still a major novice in this so if possible, please use layman terms.
Thanks a lot,
Sirsitu
Hi,
I recently did the same but on purpose. This was advised in the Syberia OS ROM installation instructions. https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-syberia-project-t3862622
You might want to try that(format data, install newest vendor+firmware etc) and then try to install a custom ROM.

The best thing that you can do is flash the latest fastboot stock ROM available. It'll reset the phone to as if it was new and also lock the bootloader. But you can unlock it back without the waiting time this time.

That't not fastboot flashable file, genius. You are trying to flash the full ROM file. Download the fastboot file which comes in .tgz format. Extract it twice and you will get the main file. Once you extract the file, you would see the file name has a lot of "underscore" (_) marks See the attached screenshot). Moreover, you didn't mention what errors are you getting on TWRP while trying to flash the custom ROM. When creating a thread, try to include as much information possible, i you want someone to understand your problem and help you accordingly. Or else, you are just adding up thread counts.

LOL! All stock fastboot ROMs are compatible on MiFlash tool. It doesn't matter which version it is as long as it is fastboot flashable and you know how to extract and place it in the correct place.

Yeah but from what I can see on this is just a normal firmware and has to be updated thru twrp or settings.
But that older version has a fastboot version to flash idk though.

Updating firmware while unlocked/rooted/TWRP

SM-T860 that is unlocked, rooted with Magisk, TWRP recovery installed, WETA Kernel installed, running ASK1 November security update firmware.
I'm not new to rooting and all, but am fairly new to Samsung devices and am still learning all the tricks and tips.
I know that OTA updates are not possible in my current state, but Is it possible to some way manually update the firmware to the ASL3 version without having to just reflash stock and loose everything, starting from scratch to reroot, TWRP, reinstall all my apps etc?
I already have Odin installed and have downloaded the full ASL3 firmware package.
You don't have to lose everything - just flash ASL3 on top of ASK1, then install the rest of the mods (WETA kernel, TWRP, Magisk). In the downloaded zip of ASL3, you should have five files: mostly the same file names, except for the beginning few characters, similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So the five images you'll most likely have are AP (the main system + boot.img), BL (bootloader, modem, other low level stuff), CP (other small tidbits), CSC (carrier-specific customizations, also contains country-specific stuff, basically the layer above system that makes the OS specific to a country, with apps, configurations for WiFi, 4G/5G, Bluetooth, and even things like Samsung Pay), and HOME_CSC (same as CSC, but doesn't flip the "wipe device" flag).
What you need to do is do the update via ODIN using the default files, then for the CSC field, select HOME_CSC instead of the regular CSC file. The only difference between the two is just this, HOME_CSC won't wipe the device, CSC will.
Same applies if you want to go back to complete stock, just flash the phone using ODIN, and use the regular CSC image instead of HOME_CSC.
Thank you for the detailed explanation of what to try and what all of the different parts of the big firmware packages are. I've had this Tab S6 just about a month now and have been doing my best to get used to how Samsung does things. Lots of reading various posts, lots of experimenting. I've gotten the basics down on flashing firmware using Odin, but don't yet have a solid grasp on what all is really going on. I've just been very carefully following directions, and praying to the Android/Samsung gods I don't end up with a brick when I hit "start." LOL So far so good!
I'll give it a go doing what you described. If it works, Yay! If not, no big deal and I'll start over from fresh/stock. I've grown used to that being "just the way it is" when you want to run modified/custom stuff. As long as I don't permanently brick the thing I do enjoy the experimenting and learning process.
Thanks again.

Well, it worked... sort of. The system booted and ran, but I started to get random reboots for no apparent reason. I wiped cache and such but nothing helped.
Ultimately I decided to completely wipe the tablet, flash back to stock, and then reroot and just reinstall everything "clean."
Did you apply TWRP and the WETA kernel again? If so, my gut is that the old kernel is not compatible with the updates. Just my thoughts, nothing to support this but an update should work. This is one of the reasons I am waiting till the updated TWRP is released with the new SL3 kernel.
