Are you good now or need more info?

I'm sure [MENTION=4929843]messi2050[/MENTION] didn't see the question above the nandroid part of your post. The next post from someone else asked about nandroid and he attempted to answer both immediately. Look at posts after yours and you will see it was just an oversight. [MENTION=4929843]messi2050[/MENTION] is helping multiple people so this can happen with anyone.

Hello,

I installed your provided patcher and all seems well on my Tmobile J700T.

The seandroid message is still present, but I realize that is a normal thing. If the text were green instead of red, I suppose nobody would panic.

I note that a titanium backup of the phone prior to applying the patch would note restore to the patched version in batch mode.

I was able to restore the things that were important to me with titanium by choosing to restore them singly. My mms/sms and call logs were my priority and these reinstalled without a hitch. I just let my other apps reinstall.

The inconvenience of reinstalling apps that others complain about is a non-issue for me.

After a normal factory reset I was able to restore two different backups without having any errors thrown.

Many thanks to you and jcadduono for your efforts on this project.

My phone feels complete, once again.

I don't understand why you still have the SEANDROID message, that shouldnt happen unless Samsung have changed something?

Are you sure the SEANDROID is when booting into the OS and not when booting in to recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glberg17:
Sorry, I wasn't clear I only see it going in to recovery. I haven't seen it when going into the OS on any occasion on this device. Perhaps because I never flashed the kernel in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
The recovery uses its own kernel, so won't get patched.

It's easily fixable, but also nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
I understand that. But when I asked you how to make a nandroid you told me I need to do something that has to do with encryption. I then asked you to explain further how to do this. Then you disappeared with no explanation.

I appreciate all you've done. I'm not trying to push you. Hope all is good.

You don't make sense. Why would you backup stuff through Titanium when the patch can create s perfect nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] messi2050:
The data partition encryption found on j700t is not available on my j700h so i never faced that type of encryption on my device it's why i thought that j700t owners can help more better in your case than me :)
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glberg17:
Duh. If you are going to apply a patch, which would allow you to make a nandroid, that would require you to format your data partition, why would you -not- want to back up that data before formatting that partition?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
Duhhhh.. Ashyx came up with a patch to make possible a perfect nandroid. There's no need to make a backup through titanium.

Hello McFly!
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
I think he means to back up his apps and settings data before Formatting data, so he can restore afterwards.

Otherwise these will be lost after Formatting.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
But your patch makes perfect nandroid backups. That being the case there's no need to backup apps and settings through titanium. Its a waste of time.

-------- EDIT ---------

Oh I see what you mean. If he wants, for example, to factory reset his phone. Makes sense.

BTW, how can you make a backup of android settings?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
You're misunderstanding.

You can't make a backup of the DATA partition until it is able to be mounted.

To do that it needs to be Formatted.

Formatting will wipe everything, including all settings and apps.

So to save having to reinstall everything AFTER formatting you can make a TB backup before hand and then restore everything back as it was with TB.

Of course after formatting, DATA will be mountable and then you can make backups without TB.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
Ok you lost me there. I thought your patch fixed it where you could make nandroids without having to do backup through titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
It can but what about the first time you format the data partition (essentially wiping all your apps and settings)?

You can't make the nandroid until you've Formatted.

Before that you can use TB to save all your settings and apps.

After you've formatted you can restore everything with TB.

Once you have restored your settings then you can go ahead and make that nandroid backup of data.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
Let me get this right. Your patch allows the proper formatting of the data partition in order to make nandroids.

After you flash your patch, you then you use TB to save all your apps, app settings and system settings.

After that you format the data partition. Then you can create nandroids.

Is this right?

Btw, how do you make a TB backup of apps and settings?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
No, not sure why you're not getting this? I'll try and explain it a bit better.

OK, let's say you have your device set up the way you want with all your apps and settings.

You don't want to lose them and have to do it all again.

Now at the moment your DATA partition which stores all the above information is encrypted.

TWRP does not support Samsung's encryption method. This means that you cannot mount your internal storage AKA data partition with TWRP.

If you can't mount it you can't back it up.

The only way to make a backup of said partition is to remove the encryption.

The only way to do this is to format it.

However the caveat is that formatting wipes all your data so you will lose all those precious settings and apps.

So before you format you can use TB to back up all these settings and apps.

Now with all your apps and settings safely backed up with TB you can go ahead and format your data partition with TWRP.

Once you have formatted the data partition will be mountable and you can make a backup, but the data partition will be empty until you reboot.

However as soon as you reboot the data partition will be automatically encrypted putting you back to square one with an unmountable data partition.

What the patch does is disable the auto encryption, so that the data partition (internal storage) can remain mountable even after rebooting.

You can then restore all your settings and apps with TB to put you back to how you were before the format.

You can then go back to TWRP and happily make a nandroid backup of your data partition with all your restored settings and apps.

I hope that makes it clear [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] mario1634:
It's good when installing different ROMS. That way you can install all your apps just the way you left them on your previous ROM
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
Ok this is now very clear.

But you don't have to make a backup of the boot partition if you don't want, right? I mean, you only suggested it before in case someone wants to restore to encryption. Is this right?

Other than that:

1) Just backup apps and system settings via TB.

2) Flash your patch in TWRP.

3) Wipe data partition and reboot.

4) Restore system settings and apps from TB.

5) Reboot to TWRP and backup to make a full nandroid.

Is this right??
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
That's the way to do it. But it makes sense to back up anything you're likely to modify.

For the sake of using a few mb of space it's worth making a backup of the boot.img before patching.

You should always have a full device backup any way.

It doesn't make sense not to.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glenalm:
I see. Just to make sure though, I wantbto makevextra sure ally prior questions are answered fully.

1) So its not necessary to back up the boot partition if you dont want to in order to make a nandroud, right?

2) How do you back up both the system settings and apps in TB?

My apologies if I'm coming off redundant. I just want to male sure my questions are clearly answered before I proceed. Hope you understand.

Now the arm question us interesting because your ROM is 32 bit (arm) while kernel is built from arm64 (say wuh)

So in short, arm.

Ok,

Flashed Stock File via Odin.

So i started fresh.

Went through the phone setup process.

Then put phone into download mode.

Flashed Recovery and entered recover.

did a Format Data and installed Supersu.zip also no-verity-opt-encrypt-3.1.zip

Also re tried with Supersu.zip only

after reboot i am stuck at T-Mobile Splash Screen

What do i do now?

PLEASE NOTE: i am not responsible for any damage to your device or any loss of data Use at your own risk

if you just re-flash stock recovery without wiping your phone and all you setting should be fine.

At least that is what worked for me

I never had that error message you are talking about but i guess you can give it try and see if it works.

Odin

Stock Firmware

Kernel

TWRP Recovery

SuperSU

I would flash stock firmware using Odin first

Then Flash Kernel, then TWRP after that boot into Recovery and flash SuperSU and all should be working fine

The first time your phone request super user access it will take about maybe 30 seconds before the Super User Prompt pops up.

After that if you want Xposed Framework read below

Xposed Framework-MAIN

Xposed Framework Addon (NEEDED)

Xposed Framework UNINSTALLER

SuperSU-UPDATE-v2.78

To install Xposed Framework downloads the file above and place them on to your SD Card

Boot into recovery and flash Xposed Framework file then flash the Xposed Framework Addon File (ignore any errors)

After you can flash the SuperSU update

when you are done flashing all your files do a Wipe of Dalvik Cache and reboot. it will take about 5 minutes to reboot so be patient

I have this twrp installed, rooted, busybox, but can't get data to be mountable for tmobile j700t build apd2. I have tried both vm-verity zip files (3.1 and the one made by ashyx) in different combinations. I have tried installing zips before and/or after formatting the data. The data becomes mountable (restarting recovery) but as soon as I restart system and then go back to recovery it is unmountable. I been doing this a while, but sometimes miss things, so does anyone have data permanently mountable on a tmobile j700t, if so, I would love to know what I am doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
You must be installing something after the patch.

As has already been said numerous times, you must flash zips like supersu BEFORE the patch.

Format

Supersu

Patch

Reboot

In that order.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] xxxericxxx:
I seen that, so is using your zip better than the 3.1 zip? I have tried it the way you said, I even tried to flash your zip, format, restart recovery, flash supersu, flash your zip, restart recovery, data still mountable, restart system, then back to recovery and no mountable data. should I not restart recovery after format and just install zips then?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
It shouldn't matter as long as you don't boot to the os before applying the patch.

I suggest you flash just the patch then reboot and then check if you can still mount data.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] xxxericxxx:
Hey that worked, now is it good, or will I have to flash your zip after I install anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
You may need to flash the patcher after anything that modifies the boot.img.

Supersu is one of them as it modifies the ramdisk.

I think I might have messed something up.

Okay, so, I'm running with the SM-J700T, and I flashed TWRP using Odin onto it. It worked just fine, but I can't mount anything in TWRP to flash anything more. Is this because I skipped flashing the BL or is it because of Samsung encryption? The thread seems to give conflicting answers.

I unfortunately do not have a MicroSD to find out if I can sideload SuperSU or anything like that.

Edit: I should mention that I tried formatting my data. Still can't mount anything in TWRP.

Edit 2: Flashed stock recovery and wiped data/cache. Flashed TWRP again. Still can't mount anything. Kill me.

Edit 3: Found an old microSD and successfully flashed SuperSU from it. Rooted.

Edit 4: I would really like to be able to mount my internal storage so that I can backup through TWRP and install Xposed without ****ting my pants. Anyone have any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] ashyx:
Did you read any of the posts above?
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] glberg17:
I have a very low post count, largely because I read threads front to rear before asking questions.

I initially tried installing twrp following the instructions in the OP.

I didn't have any success in having the ability to have data mount persistently and did not like the persistent VOLTE and RCS icons in my notification area that I assume was due to the permissive kernal. As well as all of the security related messages being thrown by the system.

After flashing the twrp, installing supersu followed by installing the patch that you provided I have been quite the happy camper.

It would be nice if Messi2050 updated the OP with alternate instructions not using the kernel and using the zip you provided to make data persistently mountable we would likely see less of these kind of inquiries .

Even a new thread in this subforum with a to z instructions for this procedure would be great.

Don't look over here (haha), I'm great at following instructions not giving them.

Thanks to all of the developers for their hard work.
