If you have TWRP installed you can flash any number of GSIs I flashed CAOS V308. While I have a T510, the process would be much the same for you. Download the GSI of your choice, making sure that it has the right structure(Arm64, Arm, Arm32 etc) you will also need to know if your device is A only or A/B. Quickest way to do all that is just download 'Treble Check' from the play store and run it. It will tell you how your device supports treble. Then once you have your GSI downloaded, boot into TWRP. Wipe the system and with out rebooting, install your GSI img onto the System partition. Reboot and you should be running a custom ROM. It might have some issues as it is not specifically built for your device, but until there is development for the T500, GSIs are the only game in town.

DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible to anything going wrong with your device.
You are responsible to what you are doing with your phone, not me.
If you blame me, I will laugh in your face and I'll go grab a beer.
This guide is intended to be used for people who want to upgrade their Android experience. This process could be dangerous. Please follow instructions, and if in doubt, stop, and ask here. No one wants their phone bricked*.
"For quite a while you are using your LG G2 mini. You like the simplicity of Android 4.4/5.0.2 and you think LG did a good job on the UI. You live you life happily with the phone. But after a while you feel something is missing. you want more.
You googled "How to make my device awesome again" and you saw difficult terms, such as root, flashing, recovery and bootloader. You didn't know what they meant, but you knew you have to understand these terms and apply them to make your phone awesome again."
The steps to make your phone awesome again are fairly simple:
perform these steps in order from top to bottom. Do not skip any.
--Rooting--
"Yes... I remember seeing this term.. I vaguely remember something related to permissions.. but I am not totally sure what this means."
Root - The root directory of your phone. The home directory for all your important system files.
Rooting - Normally, you don't have access to this directory, since the manufacturer doesn't want you to mess with it. Rooting means you will give yourself access to this directory. Why do you want access to this directory? Because later on we will need access to it to change some files.
Most common question asked is: will this void my warranty? YES
How to Gain Root Access
Android 4.4
There are a few methods to try. If one fails, you will continue until you succeed.
Method 1
1. Go to this link
2. Click on the big lambda in the middle of the page ( ? )
3. Install the app on your phone
4. Run the app and tap on "make it rain"
5. Your phone will reboot
6. Download SuperSU from here. This app is a root access management tool, and it allows you to give certain apps root permissions.
7. The app might ask you to "update binaries". If so, let it update.
Optional: Install this app to make sure you have root access.
Method 2
Go to this link and follow the instructions.
Android 5.0.1
There is only one method for rooting on this version.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Unlock Bootloader--
"Bootloader.... is that a machine that loads boots?"
Bootloader - Code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM.
Most common question asked is: why do I need to unlock my bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.
How to Unlock the Bootloader
It is advised to be on Android 5.0.2 to unlock bootloader.
Android 4.4
There Is only one specific guide for the d620 / d620r models.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow instructions.
Android 5.0.2
There is a guide for all varients.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Custom recovery--
"After reading so much I think I need to be recovered myself!"
Recovery - Software that can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks. A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups.
TWRP - Team Work Recovery Project is the most common custom recovery out there. It is highly advised to use it, since other recoveries made for this device are old and unstable.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom recovery? Custom recoveries allow you to install custom software such as ROMs and kernels.
How to Flash a Custom Recovery
1. If you already have a custom recovery, enter it and flash the new recovery zip.
2. If not, download and install THIS app and flash though it the recovery zip. Then you'll be able to enter the custom recovery.
All Android Versions
There are several versions of TWRP. It is recommended to use the latest version, though using an older version won't hurt.
1. Go to HERE for Twrp 3.0.2.0
2. Go to HERE for TWRP 2.8.7.0
--Custom Rom--
"That was it? It was so easy!"
Rom - stands for “read-only memory.” A custom ROM replaces your device’s Android operating system — normally stored in read-only memory — with a new version of the Android operating system. Custom roms usually have added features not available in stock Android.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom ROM? Read THIS article.
I'm sorry for any left out roms. A lot are old and not updated or contain bugs. An updated list of them can be found at all time in the "Android Development" section.
How to Flash a Custom Rom
1. Download a custom rom to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of system, data, boot and cache.
4. Flash the custom rom.
5. Optional: flash Gapps.
6. Reboot to system.

--Custom Kernel--
"I'm going deeper... so deep, I'm almost at the kernel!"
Kernel - The kernel is the piece of software that bridges the gap between the operating system (and installed apps) and the hardware in the device. Everything you do on your device involves the kernel. Increasing the volume while playing a video? Android doesn’t directly tell the speakers to increase output. Instead, it tells the kernel that it wants to increase the volume, and the kernel talks to the speaker to increase its output.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom KERNEL? Read THIS article.
How to Flash a Custom Kernel
1. Download a custom kernel to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of BOOT
4. Flash the custom kernel
5. Reboot to system.

Please do not quote the whole post.
The LG G2 mini Tegra edition is very different from the other varients. It has a different board and uses other components. Unfortunately, to this day there is no way of unlocking it's bootloader, but even if it could be unlocked, there is no rom development for it. I don't know about rooting it, but from my knowledge, there wasn't ever a serious discussion about rooting it. The main reason is this phone is mostly seen in Latin America, while the rest of the world uses the "normal" version of the phone.

Hi,
I have a LG G2 Mini D620 which is still on KitKat 4.4.2. It never got an OTA update to Lollipop.
It has:
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c8-00012-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Build Number: KOT49I.A1404447153
Software version: V10g-EUR-XX
It is rooted.
What I would like to do is upgrade it to at least lollipop. Stock lollipop is fine (custom rom is not a must).
Can you point me in the right direction as to what would be the best way to achieve this?
Regards.
You can find the version you want http://lg-phone-firmware.com/mobile/ and flash it to your phone

I solved downgrading to kitkat and following the 4.4 method. I guess something was not working in the rooting procedure..

Hi all,
Its time to upgrade Android 4.0.4 to a newer version.
Whats-app isn't working anymore and some other apps.
I would like to run it smoothly with all functions working correctly, especially GPS. So the latest android isn't needed i think.
I am thinking of CM12.1 (5.1) to start with. I know i have to resize my system partition and flash a compatible recovery.
But i can't find a step by step guide as this is a pretty old version. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks
As far as I remember, you don't have to repartition until Android 6.
Also, Android 5 ROMs are quite outdated, and might contain several security vulnerabilities. I would recommend going for LineageOS 11 ROM (Android 4.4.4) by grzwolf here on XDA. It contains latest Android Security Patches. Here's a KitKat compatible recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79196916&postcount=230

Thanks for your advice. I should get this working.
However I see Gapps from 2016 have to be used. Will GMaps and the Play store update themselves to a new version after installation or will i get stuck with the old ones?

It seems like you need to flash ROM, boot into it, then reboot to recovery and flash latest OpenGApps, reboot again and then you should be able to sign in to the play store:

Edit- I just figured out the models listed in this thread are not the one I have.
I may be a little slow, but does this mean we can root and run Android on our Idol 4s? Also, I'm not sure what my model number is. It's an unlocked idol 4s in the United States.
Thanks!

Correct, you have the Windows version of the Idol 4. There was work being done to convert it to an android device but I don't think it's being worked on anymore. Last I knew there was a bootloader unlock available for it
unlock
Thanks for the app, i have a question, is it possible to unlock without having to pay, i already went to a local shop but they couldnt do it because i had it rooted With an old versión of TWRP
@PizzaG for model 6055b still not working? or do I install the cricket rom for now?

the AIO Toolkit isn't for you because we have no firehose programmer file. You can try the 6055k firehose if you want. Los16 should work fine for you
@PizzaG sorry for bothering you again, i have follow all steps but it appear this message in the moment to push the button download: " Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail ", should I try to root the phone separately? and then continue with the steps of treble & gsi?.
really thanks for your kind attention and effort.

Hello!
I did all the steps, rooted and installed OrangeFox recovery, and next thing I know, it says there is no OS installed on my Idol 4 6055k. My mistake, I thought it would install a custom ROM as well, since it says up there:

I can't find the ROMs anywhere. I tried to go back to stock, but recovery won't recognize SDcard (other phones do recognize it). I tried to sideload the stock zip file, fail.
Sorry to bother you man, I'm out of my depth. Please, leave me some instructions how to go back to stock or how to install native LOS and where to download it from. Thanks!

Come to our group and we'll get you fixed up. You are correct, No roms are flashed unless you flash them. The toolkit only gets you setup for GSI roms, which you have to get. Native Android 9 works very well, so you have a couple differents choices.

I'm using the SM-A505FN version but yesterday in sammobile firmware list, I saw that on SM-A505F One UI 3.0 already available so that I try to install the version but I didn't know that it will give me huge trouble. While installing in Odin stuck for 1 hour. Then I realize maybe it's a version difference. So reboot the device and then I saw this error.
I saw a few forum posts that if I flash again with Odin it will be solved but it won't. Because those ( SM-A505F ) versions changed my kernel from 6 to 7, Now I can't install any downgrade firmware and my phone stuck at this error. When I try to install the regular firmware it's giving me another error which is " Check fail (bootloader) Device 7 Binary 6 " Now I can't install anything. Is there any way to solve this problem until One UI 3.0 hasn't released for my model? Like using TWRP or any custom recovery?
Hi, ma friend!
Try to flash the latest firmware for your device model and region, but load only AP, CP and CSC files by skipping the BL (bootloader - leave it blank).
Device 7 binary 6. Means no, your device bootloader is newer than your package/binary your attempting to install. I don't know how to fix that. I've heard of cracked versions of Odin that won't do version checking for some devices but I never got one to work because the phone rejects it, not Odin. Maybe if you had a backup of the entire phone you could dd the entire nand. I think your best bet is trying different roms with One UI 3.1. Good luck.
There is Android 11 with One UI 3.1 update for FN models in Poland (XEO). You can download it and flash it. I've already done it.
Idem lo stesso problema, non fa tornare indietro
Translation: Ditto the same problem, it doesn't go back

What are you going to do? If you are about to use Odin flash tool, the only thing is needed is entering download mode of your Samsung device.

I want to go back to Android 9, currently my A50 is using Android 11, which is binary 7 and Android 9 is binary 5.
I want to use Odin. You said to just deselect the bootloader installation, so I don't need to activate either USB debugging or OEM unlocking?

I don't think it is possible for now. After updating to Android 11, the bootloader won't let you install any ROM below Android 11. You can downgrade by installing a custom rom using custom recovery like TWRP.

Ok, I got it.
Do you recommend any Custom ROM that focuses on battery life?
Thanks for answering.

I'm not sure if this will downgrade your device. There is a chance your device not to boot up after installing custom ROM with lower Android version. Give it a try and write us back.

Nope. I'm on Android 11 binary 6, so I can't downgrade to install TWRP. And the root? I give up. Lol

Android 11 isn't rootable on a A10s, and downgrading to Android 10 is pointless. Just wait for Lineage OS to release something, as GSI's don't even come close to the stability of "beta". If you want to customise & debloat your Samsung rom, you have to use a kitchen utility like CRB, I've done this with limited success. WARNING: Rooting still isn't possible even with this, and don't disable too much security or you will be locked out at the startup screen.
Customising the A10s Android 11 rom with a kitchen is the ONLY option at this time.

How to downgrade? Android 10 last release on Brazil is binary 5, and the first Android 11 release is binary 6.

It's not worth downgrading Android just to get root. I already removed the Google, Microsoft, and some Samsung bloatware using the CRB kitchen, and installed TWRP into my recovery partition using Odin (root isn't required for that), I don't need root anymore.
