| Issue | Potential Solution(s) | | :--- | :--- | | | You forgot to enable "OEM Unlock" in Developer Options before trying to flash. You must boot back into stock Android, enable the option, and start the process over. | | Device Stuck on Boot Logo | This is usually a "boot loop." Go back into TWRP, perform the "Wipe" steps again (Dalvik, System, Data, Cache), and re-flash the ROM and GApps. | | Play Store Missing After Flash | You either didn't flash the GApps package, or the package didn't install correctly. Reboot to TWRP and flash the GApps again, ensuring you use the correct version (ARM, Android 7.1, Pico/Nano). | | "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" | This red warning text at the top of the screen during boot is normal for a custom recovery like TWRP. It does not indicate an error, just that the software is not Samsung-signed. | | Device Won't Boot After Root | Flashing old root packages like SuperSU directly can sometimes create a broken kernel image. Use Magisk (found on XDA) for rooting Android 7.1+ to avoid this issue. | | Random Reboots or Freezes | You may have a "dirty flash" (flashed over old data). Back up your apps, boot into TWRP, wipe System, Data, and Cache completely (a "clean flash"), and re-install the ROM. | For rooting and passing SafetyNet checks if required
