Tried installing twrp through the app as you said but I keep getting an error saying "something went wrong."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Galactus:
Quick question, not sure if I am going to root yet. Does the device HAVE to stay decrypted? Or can I simply obtain root and use flashify. I need my device to be encrypted.

All the time I got the error on boot screen like this: "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". My oem unlock is ok but always have the same error. I updated the stock firmware, wiped all things at least 5 times and tried again but always the same situation. How can I install the TWRP and root?

Isn't that supposed to do? I had the same message on my S5. Thought that was because you used a custom recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] liobeir:
What do you mean by holding volume up and homebutton near the end of the flash? The flash must be completed first of is it really right before the ending? It's probably just because we don't want the device to reboot itself?

And just to verify.... My phone will be recognized by my pc in recovery mode? I then put the supersu etc on my internal storage? Or can I place the files on my sd card and flash them from there?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] MorpheusKiller:
Only red Screen

Hi,

after flashing recovery and trying to boot to it, display is showing that recovery is noct seandroid enforcing... so far so good... but when it should show the recovery, it's only showing a red screen.

i've tried to flash a stock rom and the recovery, nut still same. Didn't find anything in this threat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AciDxLK:
Read the last few pages. There is a tutorial clear enough to successfully do this. In my opinion install twrp through the play store was so much more easier and if needed backup everything with titanium backup

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Here's what I did -

- root w/ odin

- install titanium backup & back up all my user apps + system data to sd card (does not backup to sd card by default, make sure you change the directory manually)

- install TWRP using the TWRP app in app store (once rooted you can install TWRP this way)

- boot to recovery & wipe data

- while still in recovery install supersu.zip linked in this thread. can mount storage & copy from PC while in recovery if you need to

- reboot, let phone factory reset

- download titanium backup from store & restore missing apps + data

Edit: Sorted

So for anyone wondering, I simply wanted root, the ability to flash files without ever disabling forced encryption, wiping data etc.

1. Enable OEM Unlock from developer settings

2.. CF Auto Root to get rooted

3. Use FlashFire BETA to flash zip files etc.

I'm now rooted with xposed modules working fine on stock rom, encryption still enabled ( I really value encryption. If a thief steals my phone the data is safe). This way you can't do Nandroid backups but FlashFire has it's own backup method, which I have not used.

Works fine. No need to disable forced encryption etc from TWRP and wipe data etc.

I hold Vol+ and Home while it flashing, phone reboots at the end of the flash, and just boots into android...

If i then turn the phone off and hold Vol+ and home while i power on, it boots to the Samsung recovery and then i have to reboot, i can't work out why, 1, holding doesn't boot twrp initially, and 2, rebooting and holding bring back stock recovery not twrp..

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

So it is important to backup EFS, too?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcadduono:
I'm disabling EFS backup in the latest TWRP as I've heard from people that it fails to restore.

EFS partition should only contain modem cache and calibration data, so I suppose it should be possible to just wipe EFS and have it regenerated by the operating system.

Don't bother with EFS at all.

the only way i successfully flashed twrp on my s7 edge in the past was by using the twrp app from the app store, unfortunalty i can't use it now because damn samsung have released a security patch which makes you lose root access and the original CF auto root does not work any more tho he has released an updated zip which needs to be manually flashed from recovery which i now can't get into :(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] fyw709:
Tried the file for Korean version 2 days ago and it works great!

Here's the experience

1. Download the file with .md5. After saving it will appear as .tar

2. After flashing the file in ODIN, I cannot enter recovery by pushing "Home & Vol+". It will lead me to the original Samsung recovery mode. To resolve, simply turn off the phone first. Then push "Home, Vol+ & Power" together until you enter twrp.

3. Make sure you have the supersu file in your sd card and follow the steps after flashing.

I am now rooted and installed twrp when I try to do a back up on both internal and the SD both fail at the u very end end never had this before any ways to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ianmacd:
A quick question:

I know that I need to decrypt /data if I want TWRP to have normal r/w disc access to it, but can TWRP perform Nandroid back-ups (and restores) without this? If, as I assume, it just reads the raw block level partition data, then it shouldn't matter whether or not /data is encrypted.

Am I right?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Hisma:
Nope.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] golfinggino:
just want to make sure i am doing this right ( currently rooted with twrp installed but cant do backups )

according to the first post if you want internal storage or data to work in TWRP:

Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".

WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!

Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].

Alternatively, if you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:

Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler. Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.

my question is do you have to do both these steps or just the format data ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] VampiruX:
Hello guys,

I have installed TWRP and rooted my S7 Edge following exactly the first page of this thread, and it worked very well. Wiping the data was not a problem, because I didn’t yet installed nor customise nothing. But one month later, when I have almost finished to customise, a new firmware version was available and as I thought it fixed a battery drain trouble and an excessive sensibility of the screen, I tried to get it. But as my system was not original (exactly as delivered), OTA didn’t work, so I installed the new firmware as I got from SamMobile. Unfortunately, it was not possible to interrupt the install process before data was encrypted. I tried a lot of manipulations and spent many, many hours trying to solve this problem unsuccessfully. It was not possible to avoid the wiping step, bringing me one month earlier. I had to redo all the work I have already done. This situation can arrive once but this cannot be every time a new firmware is available, of as much more it seems that a new firmware could be available every month.

I looked a little into the firmware, but I am far from a specialist, but it seems that, at least on this update, there is nothing as data partition.

Here is my question to those that know:

1- Running a Nandroid backup with TWRP just before upgrade,

2- Then installing new firmware, wiping... as on the first page.

3- At this point, reboot in TWRP recovery and restore "data" partition only.

Is this method has any chance to work without loosing the system integrity ?

Thank you.

Yes, you can install new version via ODIN.

Here what I've tried:

Because I already have 3.0.2-0 before, I just can simply upgrade to 3.0.2-1 via TWRP.

I downloaded the .img files, and flash from 3.0.2-0.

And tadaaaaa... I've update to the newer version :)

No need PC and ODIN, just simply download from the phone and update via TWRP.

I've followed the instructions step-by-step. Formatted Data, flashed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, flashed SuperSU.zip afterwards.

Data is mounted and SuperSU is working but I still get this message when I boot into recovery.

EDIT: Nevermind, I flashed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip again and it worked.

EDIT2: After I managed to flash a new rom normally, it keeps saying that message after booting into recovery. But if I flash the no....zip and reboot again into recovery the message is gone, until next reboot.

TWRP 3.0.2-1 MTP issue

I am having an issue with TWRP 3.0.2-1 .

I just got my S7 Edge G935F phone this morning and I odin flashed the full APE9 firmware without any issues.

Then I odin flashed twrp 3.0.2-1 and rooted the phone with no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and beta-superSU v2.74-2.zip.

It rooted just fine and the phone works properly.

You have two option:

First, download .img file and flash from your 3.0.2-1, or,

Second, download .tar file and flash it with odin.

Just download the file from my phone and flash with TWRP to upgrade it to the new version.
