I am having big problems getting my phone to root! iv got exynos. Have tried old and new version of TWRP but it refuses to mount data or storage...cant find the zip files anywhere.

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kazzaqov:
Trying to transfer .zip firmware file to phone for 3 hours already. All the time copying crashes after 50%. Tried using adb, same thing. Small files can be transfered, but bigger ones cant. Tried reinstalling samsung drivers but that doesnt help. Installing firmware from otg also doesnt help, and i cant move file from otg to sdcard. So I am stuck with trwp and downloader, without any firmware. Please, help :( (Ive tried all versions of TRWP avaible)

*EDIT* Restored to oficial firmware using Odin for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] fisher6:
There is an issue with MTP files transfer. From what I have gathered, transferring files under 2GB works fine but as soon as a file that is 2GB or larger is copied it fails. This of course results in a corrupted zip file. It also seems to corrupt the entire partition as small files no longer transfer as well, the only solution then is to format the entire partition as mentioned in the step by step guide. I flashed TWRP twice and still had the same issue.

To solve this problem, I flashed TWRP and formatted the partition then booted into stock rom and moved the files over without any issues. Then just booted into recovery and flashed the rom.

Thank you so much! It worked. I thought i couldnt boot into stock rom after using trwp, it was my mistake. Done as you said.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suffeks:
i have done this, everything works great

can i encrypt the phone now after this or will it break? because i had to wipe the encrypted partitions for this to work... so i'm wondering if after twrp/rooting i can enable phone encryption?

i had no trouble copying >2GB video files to the phone

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] lector007:
can you put the files on external sd card and than flash from there?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mantuen:
Great solution!

But do you need to install SuperSu in order to use Titanium backup?

Now I only have magisk and it says that 'root acces failed' in Titanium backup

Let me remind you again that way before this it did flash but when the phone turns on it says "verification failed reset (factory reset) your phone and then i tried flashing it again and there the error started
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _moelle:
its normal u need to factory reset i guess
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Onyx0099:

Can't install twrp

Hi guys,

i have a new Smansung S8 SM-G950F with android 7.0 no brand that i buy in italy.

The problem is that i try to install the twrp in this mode and in others modes but the when odin finish to write ap the phone remain blocked to the on samsung s8 logo for hours so i must always reinstall firmware.

Have any ideas how can i do the root?

P.s. i already try autoroot and it don't works.

Thank you very much

What is your build number and what version of TWRP and Odin did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ergina95:
so this method still work on oreo right ? or are there any changes to the procedure/ things we should be careful about?

also, from what i've understood, to avoid the 7-day waiting we have to flash a custom kernel with the security features disabled.. any examples of such kernels? (always about the exynos models)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jackten90:
The build number is G950FXXU1AQDG.

I use:

- Odin 3.12.3;

- twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte.img.tar;

By the way thank you very much for the answer
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cwhiatt:
Sounds like you have all the info. I myself have not upgraded yet.

Sounds like the TPG kernel might be an option.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Huh. I have the same Odin and TWRP however I am on build number ending AQL5. I presume you enabled OEM in developer options?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jackten90:
Of course. I also allow debug usb.

Now that i remeber, my phone show me an software update that i don't do yet ( i think to android 8.0).

Maybe i should update the phone and then try again?

What version of android do you had when you do the root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cwhiatt:
Android 7.0

Do you not get a green pass in Odin? If you get a fail then what does the log say?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jackten90:
On odin it's all right. I don't get any error. After the twrp installation i press the volume up brix and power button then the phone remain blocked on the samsung s8 logo. And i don't undertand why?

I read hundreds of articles and in all of them is written that the root on my model it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ergina95:
so, i recap just to be sure..

the order is : twrp -> wipe everything -> dm verity -> reboot again into recovery -> custom kernel -> root -> reboot system

am i missing something? is everything correct?

found this kernel btw : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...rnel-jesse-s-kernel-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3603521 , hopefully it will work :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cwhiatt:
Try holding down Vol up + Bixby + Power at the same time you press start in Odin and don't release it until it boots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jackten90:

Never have had this problem on TWRP before. Neither on my S6E, S7E and S8+ , always updated on latest firmware, rooted and with perfect TWRP.

Until now ..... with latest OREO/exp 9 update .... . Cant mount data or make any backup / restore for _ Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)_

How I did try it to flash for almost two days (already more than 10 DAYS NOW):

1:Flash G955FXXU1CRB7/ G950FXXU1CRAP (samfirm and WRoid) with odin 3.13.1 / 3.12.3 and Prince

2:Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0 latest

3:Format Data ( yes) + also tried Wipe Data, and Internal Data, Dalvik & Cache

4: Reboot recovery and Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0

5:Flash Magisk 16 , later on also tried 15.3, ended with SuperSU

6:Reboot

7. Setup, phone and TWR¨works fine until:

but when booting into Twrp afterwards and try to make f.e. a backup get a "Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)" notice .

HELP .

Tnx in advance ,

El

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So ace2nutzer, seems we do both have the same problem on or 955F (RMM also not present).

Already Tried with following methods:

differet odins, firmwares , magisks , SuperSU , partitioning SD, re-formating micro SD ext 3 / ext 4, changing CSC in PHN, DBT, PHE, ITV, UK

but after rebooing in TWRP and tryig to mount/backup data always same error message "Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)"

For the moment:

Installed previous stock firmware again , and let it make o softwareupdate with smatswitch . but also Didnt helped me, got the same TWRP mount (and data backup ) afterwards.

I downgraded now to nougat again on wihch I dont have any problem witt TWRP mounting / backup.

Looking forward if You or I or anyone else has the same problems or BETTER can give us a solution.

Greetings, El

camera error

Part 1, 2 & 3 completed and near perfect. Instead of Magisk, I flashed SuperSU which installed with no problem as well. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a fix for the camera app. I get a white box with "camera has stopped. restart app or send feedback" options. Might I have done something out of step during the flashing process?

After flashing twrp and SuperSu, I did a 'wipe dalvic/cache' then rebooted. Should I have not done that and just rebooted? Or is the camera problem somewhere else?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] callumbr1:
Go to settings and apps and clear data of camera app
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jfer671:
thanks [MENTION=7187807]callumbr1[/MENTION] ...tried your advice but I think it was SuperSU

**Update: Solved problem (for my situation), tried deleting cache and data of camera app in settings but it still would not work. I figured it had something to do with SuperSU, so I unrooted, booted back into TWRP and re-rooted with Magisk. Voila, everything is now in working order. Now I'll monitor my battery as it was draining quite fast, I'm thinking bcuz of the constant error pop up for the camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cwhiatt:
If you're rooted and battery drain is a concern, then I'd suggest greenify and/or Deep Sleep battery saver. I'd also suggest Xposed w/ amplify module

I am in the same situation, and the error has no connection with the Magisk.

I tested with SUPERSU and the error persists.

When I access TWRP I can not access the DATA folder I have to format every time.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Good evening,

I have the following situation in TWRP:

1. I have waited 7 days to release the OEM.

2. After that I installed TWRP via ODIN, and logged into Recovery.

3. As usual the DATA folder was unavailable (Encrypted) and had to do FORMAT DATA, placing yes, etc ....

4. After that I was able to access, I installed Magisk and RMM STATE.

*********I also tested using SuperSu, NO-VERITY, and RMM STATE, and the same thing happened.

5. Everything wonderful, I accessed the system, the OEM remains unlocked, in the download mode has no PRE NORMAL, I can access ROOT softwares a marvel.

6. But here comes the problem, whenever I enter the TWRP it is with the DATA folder unavailable, that is, I have to redo FORMAT DATA.

7. If you do FORMAT, it restarts the procedure from the beginning.

The version of TWRP that I use is correct, the ROM is last STOCK Brazil ZTO.

I have no idea what to do.

Link to TWRP I'm downloading

https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys8.html

I read the link below the information below, it would have some connection with the problem:

This device uses dm-verity!

This means that if you allow the system to be modified, it will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the kernel stock. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has disabled dm-verity in the fstab.

Problem solved through link:

Hi guys,

want to unlock/root my S8, in particular to be able some interesting camera variants I heard are very good.

I have the exynos (europe). I tried to search for some specific guide but I did not found. I understand I have to "oem unlock" through developer option. So I'm able to flash this TWRP trought Odin. After that to root flashing Magisk through TWRP. And later I can choose a ROM to be flashed (any special to suggest?). Is it important If I start from 7.0 ore 8.0 for all the process?

All the process is reversible? What about knox protection?

So once you trip knox theres no reversing it.

Even if you flash back to factory firmware in odin it stays tripped and the apps that are affected will still not work.

OEM

Hi guys,

I have a S8+ G-955F Exynos, I wiped all data\factory reset to install a new firmware and on developper options (After "Factory Binary" when I turn on the phone) there is absolutely no "OEM unlock" between bluetooth hci snoop log and running services option. How can I unlock bootloader? Thank you from Reykjavík

On an other thread I read that:

Does it mean I have to wait 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] It_ler:
What do you mean with "opened with Odin"?

Open the developer options on your phone.

=> Click at least seven times on the build number in settings - device/phone info - software information. Then go back into settings and open developer options (way down in the settings menu). Check oem unlock option (between bluetooth hci snoop log and running services option).

Good luck !

EDIT:

Now I see that you are posting in two threads in parallel.

As you flashed a new firmware recently with format data, you may have to wait for about 7 days to get the oem unlock option back.

Seems to be a "nice" security feature of Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jeanbapti:

thank you for your answer, there is no OEM between bluetooth hci snoop log and running services option.
