I want to remind everyone that Xposed framework is dependent on the OEM not making modifications in the framework of the operating system.

As Samsung has clearly chosen a name other than TouchWiz for their new UI (Wanam's Samsung Xposed was built with TouchWiz frameworks in mind), then they very likely have made a few other changes in GraceUI that Xposed has not accounted for yet.

You should continue Samsung Xposed discussion in the proper official thread: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

Alternatively, it may be a better idea to start a single thread thread in the Xposed General for issues with

Xposed on GraceUI (Note 7)

for all the Note 7 users to come together in.

On another topic, for those using Odin of stock rom:

When doing full factory fresh resets to return your device to usable state, use the CSC_YOURCSC package in CSC not the HOME_CSC package. The HOME_CSC will not wipe your device, it is only for upgrading.

Alternatively, boot into stock recovery and use the factory reset option after flashing your full stock firmware in Odin with Nand Erase All checkbox.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JazonX:
Thanks a lot for the insight!

Is it safe to Flash the BPH7 firmware (4 file) with Nand-Erase All option for Note 7 ?

I'm guessing, my device is bootlooping continuously- because some junk or a corrupted file remains in the internal storage.

But worried to do it at the same time, in fear that it might Erase the EFS or something important, which I can't bring it back.

Flashed the Stock Rom over Odin a few times (But didn't do Nand erase or anything) - Did a Factory Reset from Recovery right after flashing as well. Still bootlooping.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seraphyz:
i wouldnt tick nand erase unless you absolutely had to, are you sure the firmware your flashing hasn't been corrupted, try redownloading a bph6 from region where you purchased your phone just to make sure
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JazonX:
Downloaded Again, Flashed about 3 times more - each with Stock Recovery + Factory Reset

Flashed TWRP, Wiped everything, and did it again as well.. Still no luck.

Nand Erase ?

If my device bricks, Samsung it is. I work right in front of it.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seraphyz:
Since your having bootloop issues your first priority should be to make sure stock works, just odin your firnware and do not flash twrp
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JazonX:

it works but theres extreme lag
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SAO:
Do not install Xposed! Aside the huuuuuge lag it seems it creates other problems deeper (battery drain, battery charging time, etc...)

Hoping they come out with a revised version lol
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NHellFire:
It seems the encryption is being forced anyway. I think I've found how to disable it, about to test on my Note.

Edit: Nope, that doesn't work. Here's what I tried:

ramdisk/init.rc:
on property:vold.decrypt=trigger_encryption
- start surfaceflinger
- start encrypt
+ class_start main
+ class_start late_start

Changing that just makes it fail to boot.

Edit 2: Android source found me `ro.vold.forceencryption=0` to disable forced encryption. Also fails to boot with that. So it seems it won't boot unless /data can be encrypted.

Hi,

I just got my N930F Snapdagon I think but not sure. Its from Verizon in UK.

I have looked around but am only able to find Exynos guides to recovery and root.

Does anyone know if there is a thread for us with N930F guys ?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] scrappy610:
Make sure you find out the actual device version first. It should be in about phone or on the box. The N930F is the exynos version

Nvm I fond it with CUP-z. Wired move by Sammy to make the F version as Exynos when it has always been snapdragon. I have had note 2, 3 and 4 all of them where F snapdragon.

I keep getting fail on TWRP flash via odin and phone booting straight to OS.

Yes its the newest Odin from the link in OP and also got TWRP from link OP.

Anyone had similar experience ?

If so how did u guys solve it ?

Edit : don't know if it makes a difference With this new system but I got usb debugging enabled ?

im also getting knox constantly spamming me saying my device is compromised. *fixed by disabling SecurityLogAgent

anyone else get this or know how to deal with it?

disabling these apps has alleviated some of the spam. I do still get a wave of crashes, will update again when I figure out how to address them.

followed the guide to the letter ehh.

tried over 8 times and redownloaded TWRP 5 times.

Are there no other recovery then TWRP ?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
You should first enable developer options and then select OEM unlock, you haven't done that.

Anyway I tried rooting and also getting that 'cant mount /data' partition and I'm also stuck now with a 930FD device that wont boot ... Guess I'll need to flash stock ROM or dr Ketan's version (havent looked into that yet).

So there's something not 100% correct with either TWRP or chainfire's root ...
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zionator:
I have enabled them both. That was the first thing I did before downloading the files.

Awesomeness

When you see that TWRP ([MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]), [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] are already in place and "on the case" when you check out the forum section for the new Note7 you just ordered and will get in a week, you just know you can relax and that everything is gonna be alright. You just can't beat the feeling you get when you get TWRP up and running on a device and the SuperSu zip installs without issues.

I'm a total stranger to you, or you may have seen me posted some comment in some thread, but I love you guys !! Ever since I started flashing ROM's on my first Xperia X10 and NoteII devices, you have been a rather big part of my life, and you have always been dependable and always delivered, and delivered top notch awesomeness every time. My dying Note4 is of course running TWRP, SuperSU (pro) and Dr.Ketan S7 ROM right now.

Sorry for "spamming" like this, but I like to express my gratitude in words too sometimes, not only donations, which I of course make from time to time. A bit more personal with words, and as such a token of respect for all the effort you guys put into work I benefit from. When I saw both CF and Dr.K in a TWRP thread like this I just had to take the opportunity.

I bow to you in awe !!

Guys, the hydra kernel has enabled access to the Data partition in twrp. It is said to force disable encryption.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
So what error are you getting on your phone screen or in the GUI while flashing ?

Anyway Dr Ketan's pre rooted ROM works like a charm indeed, nice work
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
Dr.Ketan's ROM is by far amazing.

hello@all.

i have a realy noob qustion, where i can make the /data read/write on my german n930F?

I have flashed TWRP and supersu 1.77 beta.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JazonX:
Data Read/Write is not possible, Unless you Flash the new Hydra Kernel. This kernel has a tweak to enable it, and so far this is the only option.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Conan179:
which makes the kernel that the recovery can access it if wanted the kernel is not running?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
So can anybody actually make a backup of the whole system (boot, system, data) ? I'm getting an error about that /data directory and then it says backup failed. I'm on 930FD.

I suppose this is the best place to ask, I've looked all thru this thread and other xposed threads and the att note 7 xposed thread (who seem to have reports of wanam xposed working smoothly on their note 7). what I understand is that xposed works but is super laggy and buggy for note 7 right now. and the xposed we install is the regular xposed? or is it this 'wanam xposed' I'm hearing about, I even heard of another TouchWiz version of xposed.

(haven't used xposed in years so I think a lot of ppl already have a solid understanding of what they should be doing to get xposed working, which I lack at the moment).

basically what I'd like to know is:

where should I be checking to see if any note 7 friendly versions of xposed are released?

Thanks, I wanted to flash ROM, or at least the kernel ... :(
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pswin09:
You need to format data first(select format data and type yes picture below). Then reboot info recovery again, go to advanced wipe and wipe system, data, cache. After that install rom. Then recovery will work.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Conan179:
and a custom kernel must flashed.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mvp:
Unfortunately, you can not even wipe data, cache ... nothing ... twrp simply does not work ... only works with SD card

Reinstalls of clean rom Sammobile and do everything again ... hopefully it will go
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
I just flashed the hydra kernel, phone doesnt boot anymore. I'm not sure why I did it anyway, quite stupid cause the kernel has nothing to do with recovery (which has its own kernel)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
Ok apparently this isnt a bug but it caused by the fact that the /data partition is encrypted and TWRP cant work (yet) with an encrypted partition. Solution would indeed be to wipe all data. Which sucks big time cause I hate losing everything and installing everyting all over again ...

But then again, i guess one could make a backup of the whole /data directory with adb for example, wipe it and restore it ...
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
Hydra gets rid of this problem. But to get data working a full wipe of /data must be done. Otherwise it does not work

[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
But what does Hydra have to do with TWRP ? If you boot TWRP, it does not boot Hydra, I guess I'm missing your point here or maybe I dont understand you correctly.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
Both. You don't understand me and you miss my point.

Samsung encrypt the device on any startup of the phone. Hence even when wiping /data you will have encrypted your phone again after you booted in system.

Hydra just disables force encryption

[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
yes twrp has its own kernel, but this has nothing to do with start up process of system and encryption of /data (as soon as phone is booting)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
Gotcha. I just looked at the Hydra "kernel", it actually is more than just a kernel, it changes the knox/encryption files in the system partition. So I get it, TWRP just wipes the whole /data partition, nothing less, nothing more. Then you flash the system files (included in the hydra installer) to disable encryption.

LOL, it HAS its own kernel ;) Would be quite bad if the recovery partition would be using the system kernel, you wouldnt be able to recover from a kernel problem then.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] micky387:
Hye guys. enjoy to see here after your mazing cm12 on note 4 ;)

So i have the same problem as you.

Impossible to write ,do something with mine .Cant mount /data

Try all things ,remove encrytion,hydra kernel etc.

the only thing working is perfom al FULL data wipe by type yes in recovery.After it's working ;)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
Yes perfect, now you got it :)

I had to do quite some work to get why it ignores the fstab values and encrypt it anyway. But now I could "fix" it and all can enjoy a perfectly working rom and twrp
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
Thanks mate :) I'm not planning to do another CM though. Although ... who knows ;)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
LOL I was just removing the encryption parameter from the fstab because TWRP was complaining about it, when I figured hmm..... maybe it's complaining for a good reason ;)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
BTW, did you try flashing just the /system part of the HYDRA zip to use it with the stock kernel ? I guess that should work ?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
yes this should work too as long as you disable force encryption in fstab too. Good luck! :good:

Need to format data otherwise it wouldn't work lol. This is normal problem since S7Edge. I have gone through this process so many time. To stick twrp only option is formatting data will work which is real pain for some users. Only custom kernel which disable sammy encryption will work. Hydra kernel is the only option right now.

So, to everybody who's in the same boat as me (having an encrypted phone and dont want to lose my whole setup), I'm going to do a little experiment. I'm currently copying the whole data dir with root browser to my sdcard, will wipe the data partition with TWRP, paste back the data in TWRP (not sure if it can be done in TWRP, otherwise I'll just stick it in a flashable zip), flash the hydra zip and see if it boots :) I guess it should work !

Other option is to save TiBu backup to external sdcard. That's what I did. Then restore.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
Hmm I figured that from within the system itself it would mess up, but nice to hear that works too :)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
So I tried making a backup of the whole data dir with root browser, that failed, it somehow filled up the whole sdcard. Then I tried tarring it from within adb, also failed, not sure what's happening, maybe it's because of some symbolic linking ? This actually might not be so straightforward as I had hoped ...
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
TiBu backup and you're done!
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] knifekid:
Maybe you should try Hydra Rom. It works like a charm and the apps freeze no more while gaining root access
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gekkehenkie11:
But what did you do in TiBu exactly ? backup all individiual apps (with their data) ? And then restore ? I don't think there's an option to backup the contents of the whole /data partition ?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
Yes backed up everything to external sd card and restored only apps with data.

[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ozzief16a:
Hi guys,

I've been following your efforts to gain root on the n930f for the past few days and I'd like to thank you all for taking on this very challenging project.

I'm considering getting a n920f but I've been lurking here waiting for someone to succeed in gaining root on this device. I'm currently rockin a rooted

n920t and enjoying jovy23's DarthStalker v11 custom rom. As much as I enjoy flashing custom roms having root is not absolutely essential to me. What

is absolutely essential for me is having a custom recovery (twrp for nandroid backups and restoring).

My question is this: Can I install the latest version of twrp for the n930f (using Odin or side-loading) without tripping the knox counter by not attempting

to install/flash SU to root the phone? By not trying to root the phone the knox counter shouldn't get tripped and I would have the ideal situation (for

me anyway) of having my "beloved" twrp up and running, have the knox counter at 0/0 allowing me to use Samsung Pay if I so choose and avoid possible

warranty issues should I have to have the phone serviced under warranty.

In short, can I install twrp, using the procedures that you've devised on this thread, on my n930f (making no attempt to download or install SU) and not trip the knox counter?

Will twrp be fully functional in an unrooted environment?

Thanks again for all your hard work. I have every confidence that you all will attain root on this phone.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
No. A custom recovery will trip Knox.
