No - SuperSU does that for you - But what device do you have?

Edit Duh I'm in the S7 Thread - lol - So you will Definitely have to Format Data - Not Wipe - But FORMAT Data and you WILL have to Type "Yes" etc ?

You will most likely need to Format Data and Type "Yes" in TWRP after you Flash TWRP - You should also move or copy all the files that you need & want to your external sd card or PC - BEFORE you Flash TWRP!

After you have TWRP installed on your phone - Make a Nandroid of your current Rom - BEFORE you Flash anything else (other than SuperSU) ?

hi guys and thank you for your work. i want to ask you a question about twrp, can you update it via it with an image or can you update it only via ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
If you already have TWRP installed (at least v.2.8.7.0) You can just Flash the TWRP.img with TWRP - On the Install Screen - There's a Tab Bottom Right - Click on it and then click on Recovery and Swipe to Install ?

TWRP and root (SuperSU/MagiskSU) without data loss on S7?

Hi,

I couldn't manage to save my /data partition and was forced to delete it because I run into boot loops.

Now I have a second S7 here where I will try from start.

Is there a way to get twrp + SuperSU/Magisk on the phone without loosing installed data?

What data is it that you want to keep - If it's Photos - Music - Roms etc - Move it to the external sd card or your computer - Anything else you will not be able to keep - You have to Format Data (Not Wipe - But FORMAT Data and then type "Yes" etc ?

Yeah you won't be able to keep that - You have to Format Data and type "Yes"etc otherwise you will just be in a bootloop - But - You might be able to use Smart Switch to restore your Data and Settings - I've never tried it to see if it will work through ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ahageman84:
Smart Switch does keep most of the settings intact. You'll have to go through after to make sure all are back in place as you set them. But it won't keep data of some picky apps that sync with a server, like Real Racing 3.

Be sure to hit the 3 button menu on the top right and use external card transfer.

You have to format data in twrp after first flash with Odin. Not wipe but FORMAT IT DATA. Only after formatting you'll lose encryption then only it'll work well.

You'll lose all data. You better copy everything into a pendrive or pc. Because it's so much secure. WhatsApp backup too, copy into a pendrive or pc.

Hi guys!

I´m currentlly root (supersu + twrp + xposed). Followed this post originally near May 2016 on my S7 G930F.

I´m also with Marshmallow. I would like to switch to Nougat and Magisk. It there any safe procedure to do this?

I´m confused about dm-verity or encryption. My fear is to brick it (everyone has that fear!). I can backup my current data, no problem with that, but I would like to safely upgrade to Nougat and Magisk..

Any hint? Tutorial? Guide?

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] shaggyskunk:
Go to Sammobile.com and Search for your Device and Carrier - Download the Latest Stock Firmware to your computer - If you don't have the Latest Samsung USB Drivers installed on your computer then Download them to your computer.

You can also download the Latest version of Odin from the sammobile.com Firmware Download link.

Download the latest version of TWRP img.tar for your Device to your computer from twrp.me.

Download SuperSU v2.82 and save it to the external sd card on your phone.

Turn your phone OFF.

On your computer - Open Odin 3.12.3 (or later version) Run Odin as Administrator - Copy the Downloaded Firmware to Odin AP - BL - CSC etc. In Odin you should only have Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked!!

Boot into Download Mode - Power + Home + Volume DOWN

Connect your phone to the PC and wait for the PC to recognize your phone - You should see a Blue box on your computer in Odin - Click on Start and wait until you see a Green "PASS" in Odin - Let the phone finish installing the Updated Firmware.

Power Off your phone and Boot into Download Mode - Reset Odin and then copy the TWRP img.tar into Odin and UNCHECK Auto Reboot in Odin.

Connect your phone to the computer - Wait until you see the Blue box and then click Start - Wait for the Green PASS - Disconnect from the PC and Boot DIRECTLY into TWRP Recovery - Power + Home + Volume UP.

In TWRP - Swipe to Allow Changes - Select FORMAT Data (NOT wipe - But FORMAT) Type "YES" when Prompted - Factory Reset - Flash SuperSU v2.82 and Reboot - Finish setting up your phone.

I may have missed a step (it's pretty early in the morning here) So attached is a YouTube video to fill in any blanks ?

Hi again!

Well, I'm now on Nougat, but unsure how to root it with magisk. I read a lot all day here and there.

I tried installing magisk manager apk, patching boot.img and flashing with odin, but it didn't work. A message when booting forced me to restablish the phone, so I loaded again the stock firmware.

It's not clear for me how to proceed.

I downloaded now twrp for s7 g930f. I can flash it via Odin, but I don't know how to proceed after that. I don't want supersu, I'm trying to switch to magisk. After flashing TWRP, do I need to flash any other file? Do I need to format Data partition? I need your help!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the S7 international. I was reading pages back that this method of installing TWRP installation only works with Axxx builds, not Bxxx. I'm not sure what this is in reference to. Could someone explain. I have a S7 international version with dual sim SM-G930FD. Baseband G930FXXU1DQE8 Build number NRD90M.G930FXXS1DQHM Android 7.0. I'm in the US on AT&T.

I did read ALL of the 111 pages of posts, whew! I do understand about format data! I've have a few tablets and phones that I rooted myself with your help.

Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
The Axxx and Bxxx are likely in reference to the last 4 letters of the firmware build number. There's some specific naming scheme but it typically goes in alphabetical order, so youd currently have a Dxxx build. I don't know of any special differences as far as TWRP goes though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Deep Nox:
I read many pages back that users on the Bxxx builds have to flash back to the Axxx builds to flash something, possibly TWRP. I don't remember exactly. This is my concern. Do I need to go back or just flash TWRP with what I already have. I'm just looking for root access.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
That might have something to do with the bootloader which would block booting old kernels. It looks like it was fixed on 3.0.2-3 though. I've definitely run TWRP on Dxxx firmware though so it should be fine? Always trips Knox though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Deep Nox:
Did you flash TWRP onto a Dxxx build? Or upgrade firmware after the flash?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
Flashed on top of a Dxxx build flashed in Odin. DQD7 to be exact. It's not possible to upgrade firmware with a custom recovery installed. Samsung firmware packages always flash back stock recovery.

EDIT: Got it back to stock and all panic aside, I don't understand one detail: if I'm on Bxxx and I don't want SuperSU, there is no way for me to install TWRP? Am I reading this wrong? If so, why can't I use Magisk for root? I tried every which way and I got nowhere...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ahageman84:
Right on. First thing you'll want to do is backup your important info with Samsung Smart Switch. Hit the 3 button menu at top right and select an external card transfer.

Then follow the instructions in the original post for twrp.

After twrp install, flash root, find Smart Switch, restore your files/apps/documents. Then set up your phone.

Lastly, reboot to twrp, do a nandroid backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] DenisEhm:
See there's my issue: I followed the instructions last time and it totally bonked my phone... I can't seem to get it to work at all.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ahageman84:
Follow Shaggy's instructions instructions in the image below. But if you want to use Magisk, skip the part about SuperSU and flash Magisk instead.

Magisk is a systemless root method that is not detectable by google's (or samsung's) security systems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peterh337:
Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can explain this.

S7, UK model, SM-G930F, android 6.0.1, G930FXXU1BPJJ kernel 3.18.14-9689434 dpi@SWDD6415 #1 build MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPL2.

I rooted it with TWRP about a month ago, but I picked up some older (than the latest) version. There are so many versions around...

Anyway, IT WORKS.

The weird thing is that

- Android Pay still works (although I have not changed the credit card on it yet, and I won't try that until I have to)

- Root Checker says it is rooted (safetynet status=false)

- Play Store says Device Certification = Certified

which is obviously brilliant, but surely rooting is supposed to break Android Pay?

I have full access using Root Explorer etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ahageman84:
Yes SuperSU breaks SafetyNet, although if you used Magisk to root it is hidden from SafetyNet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peterh337:
In that case why is Android Pay still working for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ahageman84:
Lol, lucky break I guess :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peterh337:
There has to be a reason why it works.

Maybe the android pay app checks the phone security only when you set up a new card on it. I have stopped updating the app, of course!

However the app shop app also reports the phone as secure, which is probably a different thing.

If this situation could be reproduced it would be very useful to all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CurtisMJ:
Play store certification is indeed different to SafetyNet. When the device is Play Store certified it means that it officially passed Google's tests to ensure their software suite works as expected(GMS not getting killed etc). Significant changes to firmware will break that certification. Systemless root doesn't usually affect device operation, so Play Services gives the OK. SafetyNet on the other hand explicitly searches for possible exploits. Unfortunately you'll likely get denied the moment you attempt to actually use Android Pay( checking at every opportunity is very inefficient and Google themselves recommend checking only right before a secure process). You might get lucky though depending on where it checks.
