[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] force70:
Im pretty sure your device has a locked bootloader no?

The issues your having should be fairly clear as to why given this I would think.

Ditch the locked down device and get one with an unlocked bootloader and flash away!:thumbup:

There is no OEM unlock in developer options on my S6.

Actually no I wasn't joking, it's not a simple click in the developer options, I have Droid version 7.0 and the newest baseband version g920aucu6eqk3 12-1-17 it seems to be alot easier to root and install TWRP on older android versions and non AT&T phones.

There is not and has never been fastboot for Samsung dude.

Getting into download mode hasnt changed though on the s6, same old 3 finger method as always!

Ya I figured that out, there is so much bull crap on the internet all the fake post talking about unlocking bootloader and rooting a S6 using Fastboot and superboot.

So the other day I was making a encrypted backup of my galaxy s6 from twrp to a external usb flash drive, but because the phone runned out of battery while backing up It shutted down while encrypting the backup. Now I have my 32gb usb flash drive unusable because I can't write or even remove information from there. I tried formatting the usb partition, I tried with linux use fsck, tried pharmd and even tried formatting the usb as a ext4 (because it was as fat32) and then after plug it out and plug it back in, it is still as fat32 and still having the same files. Any way to fix this, or I should just save miney to buy another one [emoji29][emoji22]

Hong Kong Duo Problems

(deleted)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bothered:
The single thing that made it work for me was that I read that you had to go into recovery immediately after you install the recovery with Odin (as newer stock overwrite recovery on boot)

So immediately hold ( vol UP, home, power buttons, leaving usb plugged in as it would be to slow otherwise) I had already put my rom and gapps on internal prior.

The button press had to be done within a second

Took a few attempts.

Once in I backed up, wiped, installed rom and gapps and thoroughly enjoying lineage 14.1. My phone is out of warranty so I don't really care about this Knox whoever he or she is

Hope it helps.

Course my bootloader was unlocked as I had international UK version of s6 but I could never get into recovery until I did the above as it would be overwritten on boot

I used the 3.2.3.0 .tar file from official twrp site
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nezlek:
Sadly, none of that worked (NUMEROUS attempts :eek:) The 920F had no problems on the first pass, and LOS 14 has been a very good thing. Also have a 920A, but that is a USA version so I know not to bother. My suspicion is that the 9200 has been locked down, despite comments au contraire. Pity. Guess I will have to find a 920FD mainboard and swap it out. :cool:

But thanks for the response.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bothered:
I initially said volume 'down' button but I meant volume up, home and power. Immediately after installing recovery with Odin.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] pilicar:
My experience: Flashed TWRP 3.2.3-0 on latest fully stock ROM, got stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU without kernel because I read somewhere that it fixes the problem but it was even worse, didn't even get the Samsung logo, nothing. Had to Odin flash Stock ROM again.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Are you using an international s6?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] pilicar:
yes, it's international. G920F.

The only reason I'm trying to install TWRP is because I want to edit build.prop file to make Samsung Health work again because of Knox trip.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Have you installed all the latest firmware updates for your phone? Has TWRP ever worked for you?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] pilicar:
Yes, I installed the latest ROM from sammobile and flashed it after it was bricked. There are no new updates.

I had TWRP before, can't remember which version it was though.

I have problem when I try to backup my phone in TWRP (backup) with encryption. I want to backup my phone with encryption backup (not encrypted phone) but I want just backup with option "encrypt " ... When I do this and select encryption my phone never end backup.... I have no problem to backup my phone without this option "encrypt".... Because if I lost my phone then anyone can restore my backup because is without encryption.... I hope that my question is not to much complicated, but I looked on internet for this problem but not find any answer. So please if somebody know where to search for this problem please give me link
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nezlek:
This might seem silly, but .....

WHY are you only keeping your backup on the device itself? It is pretty easy to restore a backup to a replacement device in the event of a hardware disaster (i.e. big drop, trashed display, etc..) but of what good will the backup be if it is inaccessible when you need it? How about storing it on a removable SD card (in addition to on the device) that you can keep in a safe place?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bsports666:
if you have TWRP backup with "encryption options" then is not possible to restore on other device because image have encryption so if nobody know the right password for encryption is not possible... yes i know i can move my backup image to my safe place like external hdd etc... but i like to keep it on my android phone because if something happen on the trip (let's say i'm out of home for 1 months) then if i dont have backup is not possible to restore my android.... sure if i will be at home every day then this will not be the problem to have backup on my external hdd...

i just not understand why i have problem with TWRP encryption function... i try 2 version TWRP and both the same problem...
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nezlek:
So ......

What would prevent you from carrying that backup on an SD card or a small USB flash drive (and please don't suggest size or weight limitations) that you could keep encrypted off-line ?? Realistically, if you are THAT concerned about carrying a backup with you - and I can see the logic in that - it won't help if you get to the point where you can't fire up TWRP in the first place. SIM lock and boot lock the device if you are that concerned. Please note that I am NOT trying to give you any grief, I am just mentioning some of the possibilities (which you probably have thought of anyway). And yeah, it SHOULD be the case that you can encrypt the backup separately, but in the grand scheme of things ..... by the way, it may also be device specific, and I do not recall you mentioning those details. ;)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bsports666:
mybe this question is not for this forum but i will ask anyway if anybody can ansver me?

TWRP can't backup due to AnalyticsCore file

Issue: Cannot backup ROM using TWRP 3.2.3.0 because of persistent Backup error:

From recovery.Log (attached and linked per instructions:

recovery.log: https://paste.omnirom.org/view/d3fe6409

"Error opening: '/system/app/AnalyticsCore' Not a directory)"...process ended with ERROR: 255.

I can change the /system/app/AnalyticsCore file's permissions using Root Explorer to -rw-rw-rw- and delete the file. But after some time it re-appears with my changed permissions.

When I reboot to TWRP the file is back (I realize that's not a TWRP issue);

TWRP File Manager sees it but cannot delete this file.

In TWRP, when I select the file, the file highlights momentarily then un-highlights so I can't select it or delete it.

I tried backing up and tried deleting the file in TWRP numerous times, with various versions of TWRP for my device (Xiaomi Oxygen) with same result.

If TWRP could delete this file I might be able to create a backup. Otherwise this file issue is preventing me from creating any TWRP backup.

Any help is warmly appreciated!

Galaxy S6 G9200.

Hong Kong Variant

Latest Nougat Build G9200ZHU2ERK2

Unlocked and Rooted with CF-Auto Root (SU or Magisk, either is fine)

Using TWRP App to flash ANY TWRP build from 2.8.6 onward - black screen.

Using ODIN to flash ANY TWRP image from 2.8.6 onward - black screen.

ONLY way to recover is to re-flash stock recovery

Either I am missing something or there isn't a way to make this work.

Hi everyone,

I have the Galaxy S6 G9200 too,

I unlocked the bootloader then tried to flash TWRP

So after success in Odin, the phone reboot, then i get stuck in logo screen. I try to reboot with TWRP (home + up + power) for 8sec nothing happen but after 2 min it boot itself in TWRP BUT the screen is not working at all ! So can't swipe too unlock..

Tried 10 times with 3 last TWRP versions.

Also tried too wipe data with ADB Sideload when i was stuck with the screen (my goal is to flash a custom ROM), but it rebooted and now i always boot into Stock ROM, even after reflashing TWRP with Odin..

I'm really stuck, help would be really appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Sounds like file corruption. I would reinstall the ROM after a format of system.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
The 9200 probably won't work with this version of TWRP. Someone with the phone will need to do a port.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nezlek:
Someone with the phone is at least willing to give it a shot

Since it at one point presumably DID work (being on the official TWRP site suggests that) a starting point would be the specific ROM version it was originally tested with. ANY chance we could pry that information loose for a starting point? I am presuming it was a Lollipop or Marshmallow version and the transition to Nougat did it in. But as pointed out, NONE of the versions on the TWRP site will work on the 9200, at least with a Nougat ROM.

Gotta start somewhere ....... :D
