It's not the done thing to hijack another devs thread.

I would never normally do it, but it seemed relevant to this thread.

How did you get on with the above?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussio] mottx:
1.) flashed original THL FW, 2.) checked USB-Debugging and OEM unlock, 3.) flashed 64-bit file via Odin AP slot, 4.) Factory reset, 5.) = 2.), installed SuperSU and SD Maid from Play Store, 5.) re-boot 6.) still no root available (note: booting takes pretty long time...)

Did the same with 32-bit file, but did not install SuperSU from Play Store - just SD Maid to check... And: ROOTED :good::):) (see screenshots).

Great job! It's 32-bit that works. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate it.

One last question: is it necessary/recommended to install SuperSU from Play Store to receive future updates or should I leave it like it is?

Have a good Sunday

Michael
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussio] ashyx:
You need to install SuperSU to manage root permissions, so yes it's required.

Glad it works for you.

SM-j730F/DS will be probably stuck in bootloop after following this guide only.

However, to make twrp flash and work as described in this thread, first need to root your stock android without twrp. For this, you can use this guide: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7-2017/how-to/guide-how-to-root-sm-j730f-twrp-t3709597

After you root your phone by flashing SuperSu using Odin onto stock samsung rom, set it up using supersu play store app, like normally you would do when rooting the phone.

Once your phone is rooted this way, you can proceed and install twrp as described in this very thread. Bootloop was gone, and twrp worked as intended (could easily install xposed framework using it).
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussio] ashyx:
Nope, root is absolutely not required to flash a custom recovery and have no connection whatsoever.

TWRP works as intended if the instructions in the TWRP thread are followed.

recomendation

1 - open configurations

2 - access developer options

3 - check unlock by OEM [very important]

4 - reboot in stock recovery

5 - full wipe factory reset [very important] or fail

6 - Reboot now in download mode

7 - Flash twrp recovery

8 - after reboot enter in twrp directly do not start your ROM

9 - Flash supersu 2.82 zip and reboot

10 - your J7 is root and with recovery Ok.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wittier:
One of my N6s has a little trouble doing ADB.

When it's in stock, the phone will only accept ADB commands and show up in ADB Devices when the USB mode is set to MIDI. It doesn't work with ADB in MTP mode. But in MTP mode, I can drop files to the phone from Windows File Manager, but no ADB. In TWRP recovery mode, with MTP on I can't drop files to the phone. In TWRP, if I disable MTP, the phone no longer shows up in Windows. That's the background on this phone.

I'm trying to flash Pure Nexus, GApps, Magisk, and Franco Kernel to this phone without encrypting it.

As a starter step, I have flashed stock and TWRP to it without rebooting to the stock ROM (which would encrypt the phone).

(Note I know many people say encryption doesn't matter for better performance. Let's not get distracted by that discussion here. I'm trying to see if I can flash this custom setup without encrypting.)

I now need to get the Zips for PN, GApps, Magisk, and Franco onto the phone but am unable to use adb push command or Windows File Manager to drop those files.

So it has fresh stock and TWRP on it. Now when the phone is in TWRP, and I try to "adb push ROM.zip" I get an error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found If I try adb devices it returns a blank list.

So while TWRP is on the phone i don't know other ways to push the Zips over to a folder on the phone.

In Windows File Manager I can see the device Nexus 6 and inside of that is Internal Storage. If I try to drop files to Internal Storage using Windows, it processes for a long time and hangs.

In Windows File Manager I cannot create a new folder on the phone when it's in TWRP mode.

In TWRP, Mount, the default boxes checked are Data and Cache. Others aren't checked.

Is there some other trick to getting those Zips onto the phone without booting the phone into Stock, thus encrypting the data? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wittier:
SUCCESS

Update: with some manipulation in TWRP, I was able to get a file system I could see and drop files to from Windows.

After flashing stock, and TWRP, and booting to TWRP (without ever booting to system/stock, which would have encrypted phone) i did the following.

I'm trying to remember all the steps but I think that Wiping the data and cache partitions via TWRP was the key, and required before I could move zips over to the phone.

I dropped the Pure Nexus, GApps, and Magisk onto the phone and then flashed them in that order via TWRP

Rebooted to system.

It installed and set up under Pure Nexus. It's reloading my apps from my Google account.

I checked Settings, Security and the phone is not encrypted.

I haven't yet checked on the GApps and Magisk. I assume I can install Franco Kernel from the Franco Manager app that I bought.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
When you can't transfer files from PC to the N6:

Remove the drivers of the PC and let Windows search for the latest drivers.

Check on https://dl.twrp.me if you have the latest version of TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wittier:
thanks. it is the latest TWRP.

I fixed it, see above, it wasn't the drivers on the PC.

The PC works with my other N6. This N6 has issues.

The workaround of wiping in TWRP fixed it. I don't know yet if I'd have to do the same wipe with my better N6. Will find out soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Updating TWRP to the latest version is a good practice.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wittier:
I updated my other N6 last night.

After flashing stock ROM and TWRP and booting to TWRP only, I didn't have to wipe before I could push files to the phone.

The other phone is more difficult.
