  1. When you say: <>, what do you mean? Android OS installed on the device?
    What about if my Android SM-J500M is currently Rooted with SU User and TWRP recovery

    1. Always check the XDA thread to know extra requirements, like sometimes, you need a specific version of Android stock rom to flash the Custom ROM.

  2. Bonjour
    Je vois que ce sont des ROM pour J5 (J500F), mais pourrait-elles fonctionner sur J5 2017 (J530F) ?
