Great Guide! Thank you sir.
Found it helpful for my samsung j5 phone, thanks
why, unlike other people, you use a combination rom? what does it does?
Also… will this make me root?
I dont want to have a rooted phone :/
I have actually the same question, I saw some others forums that said flashing goes hand in hand with rooting but not necessarily for every smartphone.
Can you precise it ?
Thank you in advance
