No issues for me, which root method are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] nacos:
TWRP + Magisk 14.0 (installed exactly as described here)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AtrixBomb:
I wish to comment that this part of the instructions is confusing, and could be replaced with the following:

Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)

1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.

2. Swipe right to allow modifications (if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)

3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue. <<< IS THIS EVEN NECESSARY???

4. Transfer the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler to your phone.

- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)

- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".

- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.

5. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

I hope that helps others navigate the instructions. Thank you.

Is it possible to Encrypt with TWRP but NO Root? Any advice on what ROMs will allow encryption please?

I spend a lot of time reading the forum to understand, but still make frustrating mistakes. I wish original posts would update or allow edits by moderators to keep all the key info up front, or even if XDA listed high thanked replies in a greatest hit section at the start... maybe a future XDA tweak?

Two devices gets expensive in terms of pocket space and lost/broken toys.... Thanks for contributing to XDA.

Okay so maybe this has been asked, but can someone explain why I need to wipe the data partition after flashin twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] shaggyskunk:
Because you want your phone to Boot - And it's NOT Wipe - It's FORMAT Data - Then type "Yes" etc ?

It removes encryption.

And as shaggy pointed out dont get wipe and format mixed up or your phone still wont boot.

Which will lead to more repeat questions lol.

I rooted my s8 sm-g950f like in the post described. Magisk and root checker are aware of the root but apps like adway

won't work. With lucky patcher im experiencing a reboot after 15seconds of use and it says i dont have root access. Access has been permited in the magisk app. Anyone got an idea because I already flashed another samsung stock rom to see if its because of the vodafone branding. Still the same problems. Now running G950FXXU1AQG5.

Edit: AdAway doesn't work because magisk isn't rooting the phone like the method from chainfire. I'll keep magisk got a better enviroment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:

Hi, folks after flashing twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img.tar on my phone (SM-G950F) phone is just stuck on boot Samsung Boot Logo S8. Can it be because I first flashed the TWRP for the S8+? I can see in download mode that it says OEM OFF, CURRENT BINARY: Custom, System Status Official.

Really stupid question about updating a rooted phone. I've been googling all morning without getting any less confused (actually more confused now than before I started). I used this method a month ago and its been working perfectly, now I want to update my firmware (the nov. 3. update) . I've seen the "Official stock firmware update (Odin)"-thread, and I was wondering if I should just follow that guide, as in put my phone into download mode and put in the right files in appropriate fields in Odin and flash? Or are there any precations I have to take since im rooted and have TWRP?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] force70:
No precautions needed you can just flash the firmware in odin then flash twrp and root again same as the first time.

if you expcet to wipe, the you can follow the op guide again

if you want to retain your data, I found only this way:

- 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

Stock ROM flash might help

Make sure you disabled OEM lock like described in 1st Post. Then try to download latest official stock ROM from sammobile.com (use SamFirm Tool for fast download) boot the Rom once until you see the language selection. Shut phone down, go into download mode again and flash TWRP, that fixed it for me. Was having exactly the same problem. Hope this helps

Unable to get TWRP working properly with G950F

Hi,

I followed all the steps in the first post but am unable to get it working. Here's what I did so far:

- Flashed twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.tar with ODIN

- Am able to get into TWRP successfully afterwards

- Make the necessary changes (format data, set some settings for TWRP) and reboot

- Now the system goes into a boot loop (before showing the Samsung logo)

- Flashed one of the AP files with ODIN (G950FXXU1AQI9 / G950FXXU1AQI7. Does not matter which one because results stay the same)

- Noticed that the flashing often fails the first time and the phone reboots then. I quickly start up download mode again and retry. After this the flashing always works

- Reboot

I am able to boot normally with TWRP on it as long as I do not go to TWRP. At first I though it had to do with the saving the TWRP settings but this was not the case.

Then I thought it had to do with wiping the data but this is also not the case. Then I thought it had to do with setting a pin code in Android (maybe this will affect the data partition that I wiped when setting it to require a pin before booting but it was not the reason for the boot loop).

As soon as I boot into recovery with TWRP (even if I immediately reboot without making any changes) the system will go into a boot loop.

I have not even tried to find out how to root the phone yet since I first want to get it working with TWRP.

There is no SIM card or SD card inserted in the phone.

Note that the steps that I toke above are after following all the steps in the first post so yes, I downloaded the no-verify-opt-encrypt-5.2.zip also but that also does not help.

Can anyone help me get TWRP working properly with a bootable Android?

Not to second guess you - But when you say you are Formatting Data - You get the prompt to Type "Yes"?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dlvdmeer:
Yes, I did. But this did not do anything useful. After a few restores I just skipped the format option and started investigating what could trigger the boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] shaggyskunk:
Did you Factory Reset? If you didn't that's likely to be the problem ?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dlvdmeer:
Ok, here are the steps I took right after the boot loop:

- Place phone in download mode

- Start up ODIN (v3.12.3)

- Add the file for G950FXXU1AQI9 to the AP section and press Start

At this point it will fail to flash the file and the phone will reboot. I just go to download mode immediately and repeat the process and it will flash fine

- The phone reboots when it is done and I go back once again to download mode on the phone (I could have unchecked the Auto Reboot option in ODIN but I forgot)

- In ODIN I select the trwp-3.1.1-2.dreamlte.img.tar file for the AP section and press Start

No fail this time and the phone reboots

- Now I go through the setup wizard in Android and the phone is working fine again (I skip the part about protecting the phone just to be safe)

- Once I reboot and go to recovery I enter TWRP

Swipe to allow modifications

Reboot

System

And now I have a boot loop. At what point should I perform the factory reset?

I thought a factory reset was not necessary since the phone is already wiped completely with the firmware flashing.

Did you Flash the dm-verity zip? Step 5 in the 3rd post of the OP.

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dlvdmeer:
I order to flash this I need to copy the zip over to the phone and in order to copy the zip file over I need to wipe the data. As soon as I wipe the data from TWRP I have the boot loop.

A factory reset I can only do from Android and I cannot get there when I format the data.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

I now did something else. After I flashed the firmware + TWRP I immediately went into TWRP. Before the last boot loop I formatted the data and it persisted after the last boot loop so when I went into TWRP I was able to copy over the zip file and install it. After that I immediately got a boot loop again so that ruled out the wiping as the issue.

It still seems that any action I take in TWRP causes a boot loop.

I did the same steps again when I got the boot loop again with just a minor change. When I go to TWRP instead of swiping right I selected "Keep Read Only". Then I wipe the data and copy over the no-verity zip file and install it. After this I reboot into system and am able to go into Android! Yes! Finally!

But when I go back to TWRP after setting everything up, swipe right, save some settings (24h clock + correct timezone) and then reboot to System I am getting the well known boot loop again.

Definately seems like a TWRP issue.
