it unlocks many cool features!
- 1. First unlock dev settings and enable OEM unlock

- then tap on build number 7 times in a row and it will say dev settings unlocked
- a new menu will appear under settings
- go in that menu and click to enable OEM unlock
- 2.Install samsung usb drivers if you havent already
- download and run executable from here

- CF AUTO ROOT FOR G950F:
- https://download.chainfire.eu/1154/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-dreamqltechn-dreamqltezh-smg9500.zip
- Extract tar.md5 file from CF AUTO zip
- 4. Put phone into download mode
- From a powered-off state, press and hold the volume down, home, and power buttons simultaneously until you
- see a warning message—but like it says,just press the volume up button to enter
- Download Mode.
- Connect usb to computer once in download mode, not before.
- 5. Once Odin is running,check that the box under the "ID:COM" field is blue which means it odin recognizes phone
- Leave all of the options selected exactly as they are, then click the "AP" button
- Navigate to md5 file and select it
- CLick start
- Phone will root and android will reboot
- IIRC this installs a root manager app for you i think supersu but if not download supersu from play store and verify root
- PART 2 - Custom Recovery
- 1. Download twrp for g950f here
- https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html (the .tar not the .tar.asc)
- 2. Open Odin again and put phone in downloiad mode again and reconnect usb
- 3. Once again click AP and navigate to the .tar file and open it then press start
- 4. Recovery should flash and it may reboot to recovery but i think it just reboots
- 5. From powered off state press and hold the Bixby and volume up buttons, then press the power button.
- Let go of the power once the phone turns on, while still keeping the Bixby and volume up buttons pressed.
- Let go of the rest of the buttons when you see twrp splash screen
- PART 3: Custom rom and gapps install
- G950f Rom links (do not extract from zip):
- Resurection remix Nougat rom based on AOSP which is amazing rom with insane amount of customization options: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620756647
- Lineage OS: Solid stable aosp based rom by the Cyanogen Mod Team: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617936632
- Many More For Your Device: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=dreamlte
- Gapps links (do not extract from zip):
- Gapps is google apps in case you didnt know and is mandatory as it contains google framework and playstore
- http://opengapps.org/
- go to opengapps and select 7.1 for nougat or 8.0 for oreo roms. 8.1 gapps is available unofficially but i suggest you stick with nougat for now as the roms
- are more stable
- download it and do not extract
- 1. Download a rom and appropriate gapps file from above
- 2. First take a full backup of all partitions by clicking on backup in twrp and making sure all partitions are selected.
- If something goes wrong you can restore everything easy.
- 3. Navigate to wipe in twrp. It may be possible to wipe without removing all your media files by just sliding to "factory reset"
- however i dont recommend this option because usually it does not work when switching to a whole new base like touchwiz to aosp but
- you can try if you want and restore backup if it goes wrong or just backup files before hand.
- To be safe however click full wipe and type yes.
- 4. Navigate back to main menu and click install and navigate to rom zip file on sd card.
- clickchange storage and select external sd or navigate up to root folder and then into external sd folder either will work
- select rom
- 5. Install gapps zip file the same way
- 6. Reboot
