I'm new to Samsung (coming from Sony z3) can I install just the BL file then try again to install twrp? I was able to install it through odin but it just got stuck on boot screen when I tried to get into TWRP.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Hey all. So I tried to install TWRP via Odin today. I got it to PASS but when I tried to reboot into TWRP it just got stuck on Sony Logo. I have the SM-G935F.

Build number MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPH6

Baseband G935FXXUBPH1

I'm new to Samsung so any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

Flashed TWRP successfully but i cannot mount data partition. Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Szambodi:
Same here. Any advise?

Maybe your phone is still encrypted?

How do I know that? And how do I change that?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zwenneke:
You know that because twrp can't mount the data partition after install. In the OP there's the step that says format data after installing twrp. The option where you have to type yes to format all. That removes the encryption of your phone. It's like a factory reset. You'll lose all that's on your phone.

Edit : I mean after you've installed twrp format data and type yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Szambodi:
I have tried that but I didn't get the prompt to type in yes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zwenneke:
It's in the wipe menu in twrp. In the bottom right corner. A little button.

If you tap that button it should ask you to type yes.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] XxInvictus:
Quick question, sorry if it's stupid, someone else in here asked it but it went unanswered...

Is there a way to flash an "update" from sammobile without losing TWRP?

The main thing I'm worried about is losing the filesystem change and having to go through backing up my data and wiping everything/going through the whole process again to get TWRP fully functional.

Basically I want to change the way I'm rooted (change to supersu + suhide + systemless xposed 86.2 method from magisk + phh superuser for safety net check pass) and would much rather go a clean slate than try and remove everything one by one and hope there aren't remnants left behind.

Hi there, I've already succefully install TWRP 3.0.2 for my G935FD, and managed to boot to TWRP successfully

But I can not wipe the phone. It always failed

When I intall TWRP, I skip step 10. Is that the cause of this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Skiddywinks:
Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me. I'm currently looking at TWRP as per step 10, and the wipe is failing. Also, although the phone is popping up in Windows, I can not copy anything to the device ("The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.")

I'm terrified of disconnecting or doing anything else since I swiped in the earlier step and it says it won't boot if I don't copy the file across.

Also,

WTF do I do?

EDIT: Extra information; the failure is due to being unable to mount, when I have the phone folder open in Windows it appears empty, and if I go on Install in TWRP and select storage, it tells me that Internal Storage is 0MB, which I know is false otherwise where the hell is TWRP installed!

EDIT2: I'm an idiot. Was swiping for the wipe and not tapping the Format Data option.

Any Changelog for 3.0.2.4 ?

https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcadduono:
3.0.2-4 moves from Samsung stock Linux 3.18.14 kernel to Linux 3.18.43 with updated f2fs drivers, it was mainly an update for Note 7 to add the 60% battery limit but I figured I'd make new builds for S7/S7 edge. It's also built from android-6.0 latest HEAD of TWRP so it *should* have adb backup support for making backups to your PC, as well as working restore of ext4 data to f2fs partition.

Let me know how it goes. So far I've had someone come into #twrp telling me it can't mount unencrypted /data but 3.0.2-3 does. I asked them for a log from both of them but they declined and left.

It's only been tested on Note 7 at the moment. Any input guys?

Hello guys, yesterday i get s7 edge, but i have a problem...i try to flash twrp recovery (there is no problem) but i can't acces internal memory and i get error "data".... why? i not see anything in file manager from twrp when i try to see what i have in internal memory. How i can solve that? thank you

PS: i can't make backup to internal memory, i can't wipe data.... why? :( :( :(

PS2: "Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)

Unable to mounte storage"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Jdbye:
I installed TWRP on my hero2lte (G935F) but everything I tried to install kept saying it couldn't mount /data, and it seemed the solution was to format /data due to unsupported encryption.

So I did that (and tried both EXT4 and F2FS), but now I'm getting "Verification failed" every time I try to boot. Even tapping "reset device" just results in the same error.

So I tried installing a custom kernel hoping that it would fix the issue, but the issue still persists.

Anyone know a solution to this?

Edit: I'm on the latest OTA.

I did install the no-verify ZIP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Fevax:
You have to FORMAT the data partition, then you can access to data and do backups :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] petryrety:
Yep, this is solution. Work perfectly ^_^ thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] 5upon:
Thanks for keeping the hero2lte build updated. 3.0.2-4 is working well for me except one thing - it can't flash boot or recovery images due to a file naming/addressing error. If I select a file called boot.img to flash, 3.0.2-4 tries to open boot.img/ (a nonexistent directory) and fails. Hopefully easy to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Jdbye:
What is your setup (firmware version, stock or custom kernel) and what did you format /data as?

When I format /data the phone becomes unable to boot and gives a "verification failed" error...

I had to go back to stock with all my data wiped and KNOX tripped for no good reason.

I don't understand why it works for other people and not for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] petryrety:
when i tried to wipe, firmware was stock. When i wiped only data (this option modify type of partition) problem has gone and now i can format all partition (system, data, cache, dalvik) :victory:

Before format go to dev option and check option "Unlock OEM" and go to security and select a pin code for unlock phone (you need this code after flash new rom)

PS: when you are in twrp recovery -> Wipe.... you have in right side "Format Data". With this option recovery will format partition and modify format. After that you will can be wipe all partition
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Jdbye:
Thanks. I'm trying to stick with the stock ROM (I use Gear VR and I'm worried it won't work properly with a custom ROM), but maybe the stock ROM just won't work with decrypted /data.

Edit: Even with Superman ROM I'm still getting the same "verification failed" error. I'm clueless :(

Edit2: Looks like I was using the wrong format option. Picking "change file system" on /data and then formatting to ext4/f2fs is not enough to disable encryption, I had to use the "Format Data" button that I somehow overlooked. Lesson learned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] petryrety:
now work ok after wipe only data? :silly: :victory:

Hello all, new s7 edge user here coming from note 3 (flashaholic), didnt have all this dm-verity crap! Anyway after 1 week im now itching to root and flash twrp, so im just double checking ive got this right:

1. Flash TWRP

2. swap to recovery, swipe right to trigger dm-verity

3. Format Data, reboot to recovery

4. Transfer Super-su and flash.

5. Install custom rom or keep stock rom

Is that about it?

p.s. I read a previous post that if i root using cf-autoroot then flash twrp i dont have to worry about triggering dm-verity, is that right?

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcadduono:
you don't have to worry about dm-verity at all, if you want to keep a fully intact system just flash supersu in twrp and don't swipe to enable system modifications when booting twrp. if you don't care about a fully intact system, then go ahead and break verity, flashing supersu or the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip in twrp is a really easy solution that disables the verity check.

i really don't get why this is so hard for people to understand, it's in big bold letters on the first page!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] fureedx:
To the people who don't quite understand how to do all this its simple. You will have to wipe the phone after you installed twrp or else twrp won't write on your system .

Enable developer mode and OEM unlock first. Backup whatever is necessary for you on ur sd card/pc. For me i had supersu zip and drm disabler zip in my sd card .

Open Odin, load twrp on AP.Go to your phone download mode with vol down+menu+power then vol up. Disable auto reboot in odin option. Flash twrp.

when it passes, simply vol down+menu+ power to fully shut it off. Then go to TWRP with vol up+menu+power button. It will ask you to swipe right, just swipe right twice. Then go to wipe>format data (not advanced)and format your data.

Then reboot your phone and go back to twrp , then flash drm verity disabler,reboot,flash supersu after. ( this method worked for me.)

Following situation:

I once had working TWRP with root on my S7e but I had to send it to Customer Service so I flashed a firmware with Odin. After I got my phone back I rooted it again but didn't install TWRP.

Now I get

[COLOR="Red"]dm-verity verification failed...[/COLOR]

when I boot in Android Recovery. And at every "Reboot phone now" on top of the previous message I get

[COLOR="red"]E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)[/COLOR]
Rebooting...

The phone + root works normally. Now I want to install a new rom, does this mean, that I've to flash once again a firmware and then the TWRP steps + Wipe Data,

just TWRP and Wipe Data or just TWRP and I'm good to go?

Could it be if you flash a new ROM you have to go back to TWRP and flash the SU again after enabling modifications?

I'm baffled, had to install a stock rom and flash with Odin hopefully it's going to work, since I have the stock ROM now I might try flash again.

I've just flashed the stock and I'm back to normal now, evidently haardly any flashing was done, not sure why I couldn't write to daata? It's all back to before I flashed it, all my apps and widgets no factory reset like it said in TWRP.

Even tried custom kernel still dm verifty??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
From your description, it seems like you enabled system modifications, then flashed supersu to root the device and rebooted normally. Correct steps up to this point.

Which ROM did you try to flash and prior to flashing, did you select "Wipe", then "Format Data" to remove Samsung encryption (enabled by default) which would have allowed data to be mounted?

Thanks for that, I think that sorted it, I ended up going with the Android N "OnTheEdgeLite", I downloaded the baseband (Modem/Bootloader) for it too and flashed it, formated data before though, seems to be working.

Just for clarification if you or someone could answer these questions please:

Everytime I flash a new ROM I MUST wipe/format data.

Everytime I flash a new ROM I MUST install the corresponding base (Modem/Bootloader) - So if the build is "G935FXXU1ZPK4", I must match the Bootloader/Modem correct?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] reaper000:
Someone who knows better should correct me on this, since my point of reference are Nexus devices of late, and those are easier to work with...

As it stands today, when you flash a beta Nougat ROM for our S7e, the stock kernel provided with the ROM automatically forces encryption of the data partition. To decrypt it, you must format the internal SD for TWRP to regain access to the data partition.

In effect, this adds two gigantic additional steps to flashing a ROM: that of backing up your internal SD and then restoring it back afterwards. It's a huge pain in the ass.

If I understand things correctly, what needs to happen to sidestep those steps is for a ROM to include a kernel that does not force encryption, or a custom kernel that does not force encryption to be immediately flashed atop a stock ROM.

Again, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] willhub:
So how am I supposed to mods, zips and things like that? Won't formatting data mean I have to reset Android and essentially start from scratch?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] reaper000:
If you didn't backup your internal SD card to an external SD card or to a PC, then yes, you start from scratch.

And even if you did backup, you still have to restore said backup (for those apps that use your internal SD card only). Hence, pain in the ass.

I now keep all flashable zips and stuff on my external SD card and use TWRP to flash directly from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kk-ftp:
Hi kind of read a couple of your posts and I think you may be able to advise me a bit further. Basically I have a rooted s7e exynos with TWRP installed. I want to install xposed on the phone after first creating a back up, but I think I have a problem many others with the exynos version have had. TWRP can't mount on to internal storage when trying to create a backup (which i think is due to encyrption). I've read the forums and I am confident that it is because I need to "format data".

So just so I can understand what I'm doing before I actually do it, I need to create a titanium backup of my apps and phone data > move that to my ext card > boot in to TWRP > format data> reboot in to system and then restore from titanium backup? > then boot back in to TWRP and I'll be able to create a back up > then i can flash xposed?.

Am I correct in what I need to do?

Thanks in advance!
