If you are a regular user, this process may feel hard for you. It required multiple flash and patch process. If you hate Samsung’s UI and Need custom ROM, Give some time for the new Samsung’s new One UI. It may not be better Custom Manufacturer OS like Oxygen OS. We can say, It is better Samsung OS.

If you are a Developer or Regular Root apps user, The great news is we have TWRP. So you can try multiple Custom ROMs and can reach all Root levels. But, you can’t root like Old method. We need to flash modified firmware. So, to reduce confusion, I split the Steps into two parts. The First one is preparing the patched firmware. And the Second one is flashing patched TWRP.

You should have a strong reason for rooting. Samsung Already released One UI 9.0 Pie and is already optimized. You have More than Enough 12 GB RAM to use daily apps without Lag. You can use this device without lag for years until Samsung mess with some Bloatware. But beyond, this not go reasons, you are addicted to some root apps, or you are a frequent user of some Custom OS, you can proceed further.
