Hi,

my G930F screen is broken because water entered into the device. (Was an improper service of Samsung)

Device is still working and I want to backup my files.

Trying TWRP twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img and two previous version over ODIN. (V3.10.7) but it fails everytime.

I think I am able to enter into download mode (blindly) as Odin finds the device.

Is there anything I can check?

Is there any way to gain custom recovery and root without loosing data?

Please explain for I dont get it from earlier post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zakaria.R:
As far as I know, the answer is no, I know for a fact that on nougat you have to format data after you install recovery and wish to root, it's due to the data encryption in the stock firmware, it was explained by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] himself, so unless you want to have a real expensive brick on your hand you better format data.

Ps: and be careful it's not the same as "wipe" data you have to "format" data

It worked perfectly until I flashed dm-verity file.

It flashed but it gave a data partition error on the end.

Now my phone is in bootloop.

Did I miss anything?

I got the latest twrp

Flashed SU and flashed in the same session dm-verity.

On my Samsung Tablet A al worked without a problem.

But there was told to format data first.

Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F Bootloop EFS Error

I tried to root my phone and it turned out to be working. Upon a reboot after the installation of a SD-Card partitioning app ( i dont know the name anymore since i thought it would be harmless.. but i was wrong ).

After the reboot the phone wouldn't turn on or let me restore so i decided ( to make it worse.. ) to put a custom rom since the data on the phone wasent important to me.

After installing TWRP everything seemed fine and when installing the zip's i noticed the message Failed to mount /EFS (invalid argument).

I tried several recovery's recommended on the forum but nothing works for me.

Is anyone able to help me fix the EFS issue ? I'm reading lots of topics for several days and tried numerous recovery options but nothing seem to work for me. I tried all the options available in TWRP but it cannot seem to fix this option. To stay ontopic i created a separate topic.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jbs68:
Yes, after rooting your phone you'll never receive any OTA update.

The better way is to update to 7.0 by your self using ODIN.

Try downloading a stock firmware from sammobile (make sure to find the right model and android version), extract it and then flash it with odin (assuming that you can still enter download mode). File is quite large to download, but Internet Download Manager (IDM) could speed up the process by 4-5 times. If there is an error or the flashing process fail, try downloading another stock firmware from a different country.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
No! - You don't "try downloading firmware from another country"! it WILL Fail to Flash!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nktnet:
Is that true? I've been in 3-4 situations when the stock firmware from my country failed to flash, but another one from a completely different country (e.g China) seems to work perfectly fine.

Perhaps I haven't experimented with this for long enough, so I will retract my statement. Thank you for your contribution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
If you go to sammobile.com and search for your Device and Carrier - That Firmware is what you should Flash with Odin 3.12.3 - There is the occasional exception - ie: All the Canadian Carriers are using the same Firmware *But it's still preferred to Flash the Firmware for your Carrier - On some devices with the same Hardware - ie the Canadian Note 4 (SM-N910W8) and the US T-Mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T) Flashing the T-Mobile Firmware will Fail to Flash with Odin 3.12.3.

Obviously the Canadian Devices using Snapdragon vs the International versions using Exynos and Trying to Flash the Firmware from the other would Fail to Flash.... And that is a VERY GOOD thing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nktnet:
What I was meant to say is that for the same device, of the same model number (e.g S4 GT-I9507), there are multiple version of the same stock firmware, but are from different country/carrier (e.g 1 is from Australia, the other Hong Kong). When one does not work and I tried the alternative, it seems to function normally and without faults. I do understand the point that you are trying to get across though (I hope), and in which case, I completely agree.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] metal450:
Can someone confirm if "Secure Startup" can be enabled once the device is rooted (aka with 'require pin/password when device turns on')? I think I understand that the root can't be performed on an encrypted device (aka without wiping the device first), but my question is, once it's rooted, can you enable this & will the root still work?

I've got a Snapdragon S7, and I've discovered that enabling that option kills the root - I'm wondering if the same is true of the Exynos variant. If not (aka if I can have both root and secure startup), I'm considering returning my phone & buying an Exynos...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/help/to-magisk-data-encryption-s7-t3667007

It's possible yes, but you are restricted to the stock kernel.

EDIT: it shouldn't be impossible to have a similar setup on the Snapdragon variant I think, though messing with /system too much might trip Knox
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] metal450:
Well, the thread I used was: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502 - it doesn't explicitly mention turning off secure startup, but when my root wasn't working I searched around some more, & found many people mentioning this here (https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039). Sure enough, disabling that fixed it.

In the magisk thread you mentioned, when he refers to just wanting encrypted data, is he referring to secure startup? Because my understanding is that Nougat is actually encrypted even with that off (it just doesn't use a user-specified password to derive the key) - and I haven't explicitly disabled anything else to get my root to work.

Also, when you say it shouldn't be impossible, do you mean via his ro.config.tima tweak?

Mainly I'm just trying to determine if it's worth returning this snapdragon & going exynos - I'm right at the end of my return period, after have been struggling to get it rooted & working well for days and days and days. I just want to make sure that changing the device will actually solve my problems ;)

(I'd also note that it's an AT&T, G930A - in order to get it running half-decent, I've flashed the G930U rom, per here - https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-install-g930u-firmware-sm-g930a-t-t3609300. As an added oddity, once I've flashed the ENG firmware for that root, the G930U rom w/ secure startup won't even get past the Samsung boot screen. If I revert to the G930A rom then it *can* get past that screen w/ secure startup - but then SuperSU just doesn't work. Weird...)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
Strange indeed with the different ROMs, possibly the root script just makes some assumptions about boot state. The phone is indeed still encrypted even without Secure Startup.

I didn't realize the Snapdragon root methods don't require encryption to be disabled. Disabling encryption to get stable root is almost an assumption with the Exynos version by now. As encryption is required for Secure Startup, getting it to play nice with root is by relation also the way to get Secure Startup to work properly, and the build.prop tweak is indeed the final piece of the puzzle as it relaxes the encryption requirements a bit. The Exynos firmware will typically freeze at the Samsung logo if the build.prop tweak is not done when the phone is rooted(like the G930U rom). I don't have a Snapdragon device so I can't say for sure how to set it up there but I'm literally using Secure Startup on my rooted SM-G930F right now, so the ultimate answer to your question is yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] metal450:
So just to be clear, what you mean is that disabling encryption *while you apply the root* is necessary - but once the root has been applied, then with that one tweak it can be re-enabled & is 100% stable?

Since you seem to be very knowledgeable, in your estimation do you think I'd be better served swapping this for Exynos? The Snapdragon root apparently suffers from lag/performance issues due to the ENG BOOT, which can be mitigated with tweaks according to some, but I just wonder if I'm barking up the wrong tree & making my life harder - or if the ultimate result will be the same (assuming I can use the same build.prop tweak on Snapdragon, of course)...

Changing to Exynos will cost me about $100 more, & the lost time of round-trip shipping...so if the result is the same, I might as well stick with Snapdragon. But if my life will be easier moving forward with Exynos (i.e. later updates, less performance issues, etc) then that might be the better approach. Opinion? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
The tweak actually requires keeping encryption enabled while rooting. It basically just makes life much easier for the root flashables, most of which deal with encryption using a /cache workaround which wouldn't otherwise work without the tweak as TIMA will reject the modded ramdisk, so yes, the build.prop tweak should allow encryption and root to work reliably. An initial /data wipe is still needed though. The Exynos version has some well supported custom ROMs where this is already all set up. You can even go full Lineage OS and forget about Samsung proprietary encryption in lieu of the Android standard version.

The Exynos version is far better than the Snapdragon when it comes to root and modding in general due to it's unlocked bootloader. Just keep in mind that much of the work done on it here makes no effort to preserve Knox status so you can pretty much assume it will be tripped. It's worth it in my opinion if you really still want a Samsung (other OEMs are usually better for this kind of stuff ;) ) Good luck!

EDIT: also make sure it's not the Canada version. I think it's bootloader is locked too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] metal450:
Interesting - the snapdragon root actually doesn't trip Knox. However, as I understand it the only real negative ramification is that it voids your warranty - which isn't relevant in the US for an internationally-sourced phone anyway. The other issues, such as disabling Android Pay & Samsung Pay, can be overcome - and that's pretty much it, right? If so, having root is *definitely* worth the sole downside of forfeiting a warranty that wouldn't be applicable to me anyway ;)

Again, just to clarify: "Disabling encryption to get stable root is almost an assumption with the Exynos version by now" = typically you have to disable it, but "The tweak actually requires keeping encryption enabled while rooting" = if you do the tweak before rooting then you can get away with not disabling it...but "The Exynos version has some well supported custom ROMs where this is already all set up." = means you can effectively get root w/ support for Secure Startup by just simply flashing a custom ROM that has it all already taken care of?

If all that understanding is correct (sorry, this process is very different from on the Snapdragon) - then yes, I think I'll just go the route of returning this & paying a bit extra & biding my time to get the international version. If you have some specific suggestions on stable ROMs that meet these criteria btw, that would be awesome :)

Fwiw I definitely do still want to stick to the S7 specifically, just because of this particular phone's size/hardware characteristics.

Thanks so much again!

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-android-nougat-7-0-beta-3-zpkk-odex-t3507499

Apparently ambasadii's rom above can support it. You just need to make sure you setup magisk for force encryption. The guy in the thread earlier asking about encryption and root explained it I think. This ROM also has the workarounds for Knox applications. (I tend to use full stock with only the build.prop change as I couldn't care less about Knox)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] metal450:
