In TWRP? It works OK for me. I've even flashed a Rom through a USB stick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] loanandrade:
Bootloader :\

I did the root, everything worked out except the OTG cable (it just did not work). Then I decided to use the Smart Switch to restore (I used the emergency recovery option), I was able to restore the device plus samsung's applications consists root (s health, pay samsung). Sorry for the rough Englishman.

Hi, I am currently unable to transfer a file that is 3GB in size. It always stops at around 66%.

I've been trying all night. MTP and ADB works but transfer fails.

OTG does not work. I don't have an SD card, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to get my hands on one.

Here is the error when I try using ADB push:

`adb: error: failed to copy '/Users/chris/batman-1-1-1.zip' to '/sdcard/batman-1-1-1.zip': remote write failed: I/O error`

So frustrating! Can anyone help?

Guys help if somebody came across to this issue.

All of my pictures gone with format of Galaxy S8 internal memory. I rooted the phone to recover with different kind of apps and programs but in vain.

Now the phone is rooted and the only photos that apps are able to discover are those, which are in my SD card. I need help to recover internal memory, which has been already formatted a few times.

Are there any mechanism to do that?

Unfortunately I could not do anything, since phone stacked after official update. I tried to do reset but it did not help me.

Afterwards I tried to overwrite the official stock firmware, but unsuccessful. The major role played my inexperience in this case. However it happened.

Can anybody help me to tackle this issue or my photos lost in forever.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and offers.

It says in the op and a thousand times in this thread that you need to format internal memory and will lose everything. So just move them back from the computer/cloud/device that you backed up to.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] robross0606:
I'm having this exact same problem. I managed to do it right once, but having a helluva time doing it after I did a factory image reinstall to fix a different problem. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to go directly into TWRP after the flash. There is no way (that I know of) to do do a hard shutdown of this phone -- just a restart. Doing a hard restart into Recovery doesn't seem work from Download mode. Getting the timing correct is a real PITA and results in an (almost) bricked phone if you do it wrong.

Does the community have any suggestions on how to easily reboot directly into TWRP after flashing in ODIN?

Everyone, all right?

There are already two days that I am trying to do the recovery on my Galaxy S8 Exynos G950FD, I saw that many also present the same problem as mine, however I did not find any solution, the answers are always the same ... follow the tutorial correctly ... finally I've tried thousands of ways to do TWRP in my GALAXY S8 and the only thing that happens is that when you finish the ODIN process, holding the PWR + UP + BXB buttons, the following screen appears: SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 Powered By Android. And nothing nothing nothing else happens ... see that I have tried thousands of procedures and nothing happens. I have already done several ROOT and TWRP procedures on several devices, but in S8 this is impossible.

Please dont quote full first post. Its basic rule here in xda. You have succesfully flashed twrp already on odin? You cant let your phone boot to rom. Immediately when odin finish (tooks only couple seconds) you need to keep and hold power+volup+bixby UNTIL you see twrp logo. Its hard but it works.

HI there,

i just got the G955FD yesterday and accidentally released one of the buttons after pressing "start" in odin

the phone restarted but did not boot into twrp, when i try to repeat the process all i get is a "fail" from odin.

I tried to flash the stock firmware from sammobile (csc,ap,bl) to erase everything but still getting failed. its stuck at the first samsung splash screen logo.

Any advice? please

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:
Its your firmware...and QG5 is not yet compatible with twrp....

And thats the cause of most peoples issues since it dropped because everyone is too lazy to read a little first before flashing to see that it doesnt work. Then they have to come on here and ask for help...its getting annoying honestly.

And the fact if you didnt even know what firmware was tells me you really arent ready to be modding your device.

Id suggest flashing back to stock with odin until you have a better understanding of things to avoid more issues.

Ive said it before and Ill keep saying it peole: read first, flash later. :thumbup:

For the love of G*D can anyone help with this? I simply CANNOT get this thing to boot into recovery anymore. Ever since the AQF7 firmware flash, after flashing TWRP via ODIN and then attempting to do a recovery boot, I get a double-vibration and then it boots into a window that says "Verification failed" on a black screen and tells me I need to reset my device. Tapping the "Reset" screen button actually hangs the device completely and I need to do a re-flash using SmartSwitch.

I was successful at this once with no problem, but then it stopped working as described in the OP after the AQF7 update. Does ANYONE have any advice on how to complete the installation of TWRP on an Exynos S8 with AQF7 firmwware?

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Oh my goodness, turns out it was my new phone CASE that was causing the problem. Apparently the cover over the volume buttons was causing both up and down to be pressed at the same time. Good grief! :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] the_scotsman:
Are you on the AQG5 firmware? If so, TWRP won't work yet. You'll need to flash previous AQF7 bootloader first.

I don't know if this is stated anywhere in the OP or the TWRP website. It should maybe be made a little clearer to prevent people wasting time trying to get it working on new bootloader for no reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:
True enough and I agree but if people took 5 minutes and skimmed through even the last couple pages of the thread this wouldnt happen. Even if there was a warning in the OP many would still be too lazy to even read it sadly. Of course then we could just tell them not to be lazy and read the OP haha

Everyone just wants to flash without doing any research and assumes its all good...its the users responsibility to make sure they know what they are flashing.

Arent people supposed to search before asking also? lol...guess we dont do that anymore either.. XDA 2017...not what it used to be :eek:

I dont know about the rest of you but im certainly growing tired of all the stupid repeat questions here!

It's the latest ROMS available. QG5 is the latest update and the QF7 is the one before. I guess the TWRP doesn't support the QG5 yet. You can get the firmwares from Sammobile website.

Tell us if it worked I have the same problem but don't have access to a computer right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:
No guessing required.

Twrp does not work with QG5 yet....

You need to roll back to the QF7 BL for it to work again and it does work as most are doing just that.

Messed up (install error 1; uninstaller not working) and stuck. Plz Help

Hi guys,

So I searched this thread and tried the things mentioned and now I am asking for some help.

I followed everything as listed by OP and everything worked fine (TWRP, factory wipe, dm-verity, installed Magisk, Rebooted device into recovery, installed Renovate rom, then problem!). I think the issue was when installing the Rom, it asked if I wanted root (which I had already done), and I said yes to Magisk, and I went through all the options and it installed fine. But, when I reboot it just stays at Samsung screen and goes to TWRP.

I tried doing the whole process again from scratch (TWRP via odin etc), but when trying to install dm-verity or Magisk, it just says "Install Error 1".

I tried using the uninstall.zip by Magisk, but it gives error.

What did I do??? Now phone is sitting in TWRP and I have no clue how to move forward.

I would really really appreciate anyones help, and would buy you coffee/beer for your time :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:
You need to do a full wipe not just a factory redet in twrp before flashing a rom usually. If the rom has aroma and wipes there then not needed.

Id start there.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried the factory reset/wipe, but the issue is Magisk. It needs to be removed I believe before anything will work.

how can i remove it? I have read installing boot.img? Where would I find that? Silly me did not make a TWRP backup before jumping in :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] haifish9999:
You need to full wipe with 5 options on top in the Wipe / Advanced section. Try to flash the rom again and rooted with SuperSU, wait about past 10 minutes after reboot and see what's happen next...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] c3k:
Could you please tell me the step you did? The only way I found to update a rooted firmware without data loss is a little bit tricky, here's:

- flash stock feature with home_csc

- let it reboot first time in stock recovery to complete CSC installation

-> catch the right time on second reboot to go back in download mode

- flash twrp and root

Is this the simplest way? Missing the third step will result in a encoded device and will need a wipe to root again, right?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] schnulidoa:
my way is very similar, but in addition with flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1. Here is the whole sequence in which I did it (don't forget jesec's Special Notes from post #1, https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102, !!!)

starting point: with G950F, AQF7, TWRP 3.1.1-1, no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1, root with Magisk 13.3

1. flashing G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOVF1AQG1_SWC (with home_csc !!) with Odin (v3.12.3), Auto Reboot disabled in Odin

2. when Odin confirms flashing is successfully finished ('All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)': press and hold power+bixby+vol down to reboot immediately into download mode again (note: at this point you still have the message 'Downloading... Do not turn off target' on your S8'; don't get nervous for that)

3. flashing twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img.tar with Odin, Auto Reboot disabled in Odin

4. when Odin finished flashing (same as in 2.): press and hold power+bixby+vol down until device switches off (screen getting dark and short vibration) move immediately to power+bixby+vol up to boot into recovery --> twrp is starting up

5. in twrp install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1, wipe Dalvik/Cache (maybe cache wipe is not really necessary)

6. in twrp go to reboot and reboot to recovery again

7. in twrp install magisk-v13.3.zip, wipe Dalvik/Cache (maybe cache wipe is not really necessary)

8. in twrp reboot to system

finished; device on AQG5, rooted, no data loss
