[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] freebee269:
with samsung you cant flash a .img file without root. you have to use odin to get past that. so we will need a .tar or .md5 file. i can create an md5 file but i get a secure fail error with my bootloader on my phone for recovery. so it doesnt flash. it gets to rqt_close in odin and fails.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
Yeah, when I get to NAND Write Start!! the progess bar on the phone starts but just seems to stall out. Looks like it isn't able to actually copy it over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jcadduono:
and this my friends, is what you call "increasing development on Exynos"

Looks like the Qualcomm variants are locked!

queue disappointment

Perhaps contact T-Mobile and ask them if it's possible to unlock your device's bootloader (secure verification flash) (not SIM)

You will need to ask to be put with someone in engineering probably, if you complain like crazy they might forward the request up the chain.

T-Mobile has not done locked Samsung devices before, so they are likely to receive a huge backlash on providing the device really early to shorten the return window.

They might forward request to Samsung to unlock it if people work together to threaten to switch carriers, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Can anyone try here ? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51971
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
When the phone (G930T) is put in download mode there is a line at the top that says Qualcomm Secureboot enable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
That doesn't mean the bootloader is locked at ALL! Most Samsung phones have said this (like this S5 which does not have the bootloader locked).

This is most likely not flashing because this recovery is intended for the international variant only and OP thinks its for every S7 model.

The T-Mobile S7 is bootloader unlocked and it just isn't flashing because that recovery isn't meant for your phone.

Be patient and wait for it to actually come to the T-mobile S7 in the T-mobile S7 forums. Don't be impatient and don't assume that the bootloader is locked on the T-Mobile variant.

However, OP thinks the Verizon S7 is BL unlocked and it most likely is not...

Don't try this on any american S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
This was meant for the G930T. Did you read the op's opening? I never said the boot loader was locked. The op needed people like us to test this so I tested it and I mentioned my observations.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
The OP claims it works for most S7s including the sprint variant while in reality this is basically the same img from the other thread. This is not an S6 or N5 where the recovery image works on most models. There is now a variation in models. The file OP is asking you to download is for the 930f and he says that works on the T and he wants you to test it for the T but it obviously won't work on the T.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
Well that I can agree on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Recoveries aren't device specific. But chipset specific
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
The recovery you posted is for the exynos S7.

Edit: That also is not true, the sprint S6 recovery will not work on a tmobile variant.

Edit2: All you have to do is say in the OP it's only for the F variant and W8. Nothing more to it...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Damn. QUALCOMM is written in big letter and I can bet you it runs qcom

EDIT: You are posting on the wrong thread. This one is for Qualcomm, it's tested and working
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
It is not working. Not one person here has said it is working. You are claiming it works on the tmobile variant and it obviously doesn't. Change your original post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Yes but it won't work on Exynos for sure ^^ why would I lie?

And instead of claiming a scam. Why not trying to fix the flash procedure?

EDIT :

Try download the image to sdcard and then from adb shell do

"dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0.0_heroqtle.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
It works on exynos not snapdragon, flash it any way you want, it won't boot into the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
But I took the kernel from a SD820 t mobile device! It's not possible! Did you even tried it on an Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
What does the kernel have anything to do with this? IT WORKS ON EXYNOS AND NOT THE SD820! You're making some people think the bootloader is locked on the tmobile variant because this won't flash even though it isn't. You didn't even know if the bootloader was locked on the Verizon model. How are you trustworthy at all except for your thanks' from more possible illegitimate posts?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Alright. Obviously you don't know what a kernel is and you didn't read the sources. Reports the thread if you bet I'm wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
You are claiming it works on the tmobile variant when tested it doesn't. I kindly asked you to change your thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Alright thread editied.

Now can we make it work ? What's the error message ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
Explain to me what using a different kernel has to do with the? You're basically saying if I use a kernel for my own phone then I can do whatever I want, and? I could even flash CWM or MIUI (sarcasm). Changing the kernel has nothing to do with it.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

You specifically can't make it work since the recovery is not for the SD820 not matter what you do. Just wait for a dev to build it for the tmobile variant. Easy as that. This works on the F model.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
There is no error message. It just doesn't get past Nand Write Start

It starts this and the progress bar on the phone starts but that's all it does is start. Maybe I'm impatient but after 10 minutes I'm powering the phone down at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Alright. Let's make an explanation.

This is (https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/blob/android-6.0/Image) a kernel taken from the G930AATT1APB5 firmware (AT&T), this is the dt image (https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/blob/android-6.0/dt.img) from the same firmware. This (https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/blob/android-6.0/recovery/root/fstab.qcom) is the partition table extracted from this firmware, this is the ramdisk (https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/tree/android-6.0/recovery/root) extracted from this firmware. This uses kyro flags in bionic/ https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/blob/android-6.0/BoardConfig.mk#L33 . This is the cmdline I got from the firmware, https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/blob/android-6.0/BoardConfig.mk#L51 . And this is the device tree I used to build this recovery https://github.com/h2o64/android_device_samsung_heroqlte/tree/android-6.0 . So please, don't pretend it works on Exynos variant whereas it can't.

Can you try :

1- Downloading the .img on you sdcard

2- Enter adb shell

3- do "dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0.0_heroqtle.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery"

?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
Let's back up here, you're claiming it works on the Verizon model while the Verizon models have a locked bootloader and if you root them apparently the device is killed if you manage to root it due to a security feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
Attempting to but I keep getting no such file or directory for "dd sdcard/twrp-3.0.0.0_heroqtle.img Double checked what I typed and I typed it exactly how you have it in quotes but no go
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Hmmm where did you downloaded the image?

Alright then I'll remove it from the list until someone can up with something then. Sorry, I'm new to the forum (sarcasm) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
from the beginning of this thread. I have that img file for this and I've also been using the md5 file for Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:
Yes but for this technic you must download it on your phone sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Corwinder:
I put it in the root of the sdcard. That won't work?

Edit. I used my phone to download and put in root directory. That time it came back with Permission Denied. I expected that. Phone would have to be rooted for that one to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] thrgk:
Does this mean root and custom recovery for Verizon s7 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:

(happy to see you here)

I'm trying a different approach by directly rooting stock firmware and dd the image but it doesn't seems promising.

Another Samsung phone with no development possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jcadduono:
Don't bother trying, the boot image has dm-verity on the system partition. If the system partition is modified in any way, the device boot loops.

If you don't have a factory signed system image to restore with Odin, you'll be stuck with a bricked phone for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] h2o64:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jjohn7293:
Ok so I understand that some g930t devices are unlocked bootloader and that anything from here on is locked, how do I find out if mine is locked or not
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TehPirate_:
Simple way would be to try to flash this build. If it fails, you're locked, otherwise you're unlocked. If it works though, it'll trip KNOX from what I've been reading.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jjohn7293:
What if I've disabled Knox in the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TehPirate_:
I've wondered this as well but I'm fairly certain it'll still trip it.

How can I backup my current recovery img just in case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TehPirate_:
I'm almost certain you can make a backup through ADB. How you'd go about this I want to say is the same logic as creating an img using dd on Linux but I've never had to do it this way. Hopefully someone replies to you soon enough to guide you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jjohn7293:
Thank you. I hope the same
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jcadduono:
you won't really need one, either it doesn't flash at all and nothing changes and knox does not trigger, or it flashes and you have TWRP with knox triggered.

and it's not going to flash. you have a locked bootloader.

btw you can't back up your stock recovery without being rooted. you need to be root to have read access to block devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] yourbrotherrex:
Nothing in that ENTIRE thread would give anyone the idea that the bootloader is unlockable.

Posts like yours give people the wrong idea, and just add to the misinformation.

That's basically the definition of a ****post.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] yourbrotherrex:
Please show anyone how that update "unlocked your bootloader."

What, specifically, made you announce that your bootloader is now unlocked, and how that wasn't just a normal update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ethanscooter:
Have you possibly considered this was when no one completely knew yet and I own that thread and I just updated that thread when I confirmed it twice that it was locked. Then I just forgot to edit my ONE post that said it was locked? Originally my thread said it was unlocked because that's what a representative told me. Then we confirmed it was locked so I updated my thread saying that it was locked but not the post you quoted. I'm not perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] yourbrotherrex:
If you make a post that says something that's not true, it's really your fault if you don't take it down.

Not asking anyone to be perfect. The fact that you left a post up that contained misinformation is enough. You think people know the whole background when they come across a post like that? They don't.

I'm not gonna argue over this: you've already confirmed that you left a post up that was completely wrong.

And then you take offense when someone points it out?

That's rich.

No problem, I forgot we all have lives and don't keep track of our 383 posts. Oh no, I'm going to have to edit this post now everything I make a new post since this post will be giving out false information as I won't have 383 posts anymore! You understand I posted that at a time when a Samsung rep told me the bootloader was unlocked and I had posted a thread about it (which I edited right away). You should know better, if it was really unlocked at this time then there would be some kind of greater recognition. Also, it wasn't a ****post because at the time, people were being told it was unlocked by Samsung reps. The news of it being locked didn't happen until later on... Yikes! Someone needs to check before they post. Get back on topic! The topic should be related to the recovery at this point, not about one post that I don't keep track of. I keep track of threads and quotes. Nothing else.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bluesforte:
That doesn't really make sense. Bootloader unlock shouldn't have much to do with getting SU. SU only requires an exploit writing/linking into /system or a custom recovery. Bootloader unlock is about having the device able to boot into alternate OS's (like Cyanogenmod or modded stock roms).

OP told you just above your post haha. Whether or not the actual recovery binary would work, we currently have no way to flash this to our Qualcomm variants and even if you manage to via some zero day exploit, Qualcomm's secure boot and dm-verity would essentially brick your phone when attempting to root unless further precautions were taken.
