Flash the Beta SU V2.52, reboot system and now the phone stay in animatiom huawei logo and don´t start
[P8lite General] amageek:
I am on b550 and rooted with twrp 2.7 installed.. I tried installing twrp 3.0 using flashify but it failed...

Do I really need to do it via fastboot method?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

I did it... Was trying to flash that directly.. Hahaba my mistake... Works good... Thanks
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Flashify was good only to brick devices.

TWRP manager can be used too.

But fastboot is really the better way to flash in the right partitions.

For flashing TWRP by fastboot type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[P8lite General] Cymianel:
You can use Rashr too to flash the recovery...

Thanks for uploading this! I'm using it a while now... Working like it should.

With the code it's easy.

Device's in fastboot and with adb on your laptop type :

fastboot oem unlock ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

(The stars is your unlock code )

End press enter.

For flash twrp

Push the recovery.img to your adb folder's and

device's in fastboot in your laptop type :

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And enter

For some reason v3.0.2 won't allow me to mount and view my external SD card but v2.8.7 does. However I need to use v3.0.2 to install sokkoban's ROMs so I have to flash v2.8.7, wipe everything, move my .zips from external SD to internal storage, flash v3.0.2, and then flash the zips. Any way to skip all of that and go straight to my external SD card from TWRP v3.0.2?

im now on b564 + unlocked bootloader + stock recovery + not rooted yet

1. what is the best way to root b564? im still reading and looking about method to root b564

2. when im flash twrp 3.0.2 and root, can i flash back to stock recovery? its will automatically unroot my b564?
[P8lite General] Bazilli:
1. This method works 100%: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67107330&postcount=3

Im now succesfully rooted my devices b564

One more thing..

am i still received any ota update if flashing back to stock recovery?

Yes its long but 100% working.

Its like this on few others devices ,as we know twrp is not officially support.

Its really good to can use a great recovery,all functions is working,just few things is more longer. Not really a trouble.

49 min is a trouble ,i mean its take 2 min ,not 49.

Try with the older v2.8.7.0.

But here ,its take only few minutes.

Force reboot and retry

But it's exactly the same on all lowers device's (like s4mini and few others devices not officially support by twrp, for example my note 3 and note 4 take no more than 240sec for a full backup of 12go,all this depends of the device,the speed of your SD external if you use(mine is 88mb/s)).

I've installed the Twrp but it reboot when I tap on the device, so I can't use it!

How Can I solve it?

Thank you!
[P8lite General] XePeleato:
I don't really get the process you are following to get into TWRP, try to run 'adb reboot recovery' via adb, that should work if it's installed properly.
[P8lite General] Lemon476:
I have flashed the twrp using adb&fastboot.

I've typed this command:

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The twrp is actually installed and when I reboot it displays the twrp language selection screen.

The problem is that when I try to tap on "select language" or anywhere the phone reboots. I don't know what to do.
[P8lite General] amageek:
re-flash the system recovery and then again flash twrp recovery... that may solve the problem..

Now yes you do have to open the device and mess with inside parts but i was able to get mine going. The guide here is for the other models (specifically not the vs980) but I was able to finagle the inside parts to make it work the way I needed to. From there I was able to boot back up and i flashed all the way back to 10B and just OTA back up to lollipop and root again and install TWRP and I'm back up to where I was a few weeks ago, of course I lost everything (texts,photos) in the process but I am back up and running and I am happy I was able to pull that off thanks to the great folks who figure all this stuff up for us.

So I would say go for it and try it, or if not I could do it for you, and if not I'm am surely positive that someone here can help you figure it out with your current situation. Cheers.

I know the advantages of rooting a device. But I want to know what the disadvantages are there in specific to S7 Edge if I root the device.

So far I have rooted all the android devices but I'm a little hesitant to root the S7 edge. Suggestions are welcomed :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] junghyun01:
1. Trip Knox

2. Void Warranty

3. Cannot use Samsung Pay

that's all! enjoy my root edge lolz
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
Samsung Pay is the only one that is stopping me at the mo. Although I am on the fence...

Knox will trip but if you are in the UK or some other countries that will not void your warranty anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Goronok:
Just tripping knox really. No samsung pay if and when it ever comes to international devices. Tripping knox also tends to create a memory leak when flashing newer firmwares via ODIN which won't allow the phone to deep sleep. You wouldn't see this issue if you had never rooted. That said, developers have found ways around this bug within days of new firmware releases, so it's not a huge concern in my mind. (this was the case with both the S6 and Note5 when MM was first released)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] n.praveen13:
Great thanks for the responses. What about OTA updates? Would we receive OTA updates if rooted, I do not think so. Heard that any changes made to the OS files would make the phone unflashable via ODIN as well is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
No OTA either but that is not something that I would find as a disadvantage tbh ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] methosivanhoe:
agreed

i rooted mine the same day i got it, and haven't looked back

1. Trip Knox - pft, no great loss there lol

2. Void Warranty - oh well, i'm uk side, and couldn't give a toss anyway lol

3. Cannot use Samsung Pay - again, i'm uk side... it's not out here yet, and i wouldn't use it if it was lol

4. No OTA - in exchange for custom roms and customisation? not even a contest lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sc2ascend:
1. No Samsung pay

2. Unencrypted internal storage (no one mentions this, kind of a big deal imo)

3. No Knox

4. Slower boot time

5. Random reboots

6. Memory usage and leaks

7. Incompatible or poorly tested xposed modules can cause a myriad of bugs.

8. Compromised warranty

9. No OTA updates

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Not getting updates isn't a disadvantage? You must have some mental deficiency.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
Well had you put a wink or smiley face after that comment then I would not have taken offence! Who are You to state that I have a mental deficiency?!?

In all honesty, you are in the wrong forum if you find all the above a disadvantage, this whole place is pretty much about modding our phones!!!

Also, after years of using custom roms I actually find the opposite to most of your points when compared to carrier roms. The devs on here are extremely talented and tend to improve speed, stability, reliability and fix memory leaks and or other issues on delivered roms way before the carriers actually get round to fixing them.

I get the updates, but I get them by either side-loading or baked into custom roms!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sc2ascend:
I like modding and I'm probably going to root my edge at some point. I am just sick and tired of the misinformation and bias that is spread around here. You know not getting OTA updates is a disadvantage, don't play dumb. People should know ALL of the advantages and disadvantages of rooting and this community seems incapable of doing that (looking at root objectively and factually not as a gift from the android exploit gods).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
So now you are calling me dumb?!?!

With all due respect please kindly DO ONE! :)

My last word to you on the subject... I yet again beg to differ, I have found that OTA updates can actually cause more problems than they solve, these updates are generally sent out by the carriers to fix specific things but they do not spend enough time regression testing and inevitably end up causing other issues or forcing people to factory reset etc...

Please don't bother replying with any further insults, you are really not helping yourself!

i think you're the one who is deficient in these points. first, i don't know who's custom rom you have been using, but custom rom's are faster, not slower. they boot faster, and do almost every other task faster than the stock. why do you think everyone uses them? why do you think people are willing to forego their warranty to use them? BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER. knox is a problem, NOT a solution. memory leaks...? it seems as if you have NEVER USED A CUSTOM ROM, because you are taking about things that rarely exist. not with the good custom roms anyway. no one cares about ota's, when you can get custom roms, which are ten times better anyway. AND, whenever there is an ota, almost all of the dev's are going to port anything worth while into the new custom roms update. so, i think you are extremely short sighted here. screw the manufacturers, as they try to keep control of your device. you don't really own your device, they do. because they are the real ones controlling it. go join the flock, and start grazing...
