  2. I try to flash TWRP using the SP Flash Tool I get the error "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded." Searching that on Google shows me the solution is to unlock bootloader i do follows all steps as mentioned in this forum with no hope.
    I would like to just flash the TWRP recovery to run the SU.zip but haven't sucessfully been able to flash. Any help on how to proceed would be most appreciated.
