ok i dont know what i am doing wrong but i follow the op instructions:

Enable OEM Unlock in developer settings

Enter download mode (Press and hold home + volDown + Power when powered off)

Using Odin, click the 'AP' tab and select the twrp-3.2.0-0-j7popltespr.img.tar file you've downloaded.

Flash the TWRP image, then hold home + volUp + Power

Congratulations, you are now booted into TWRP!

yes i do get into twrp but all folders are empty 0mb so i cannot flash any zip and when i reboot phone there is no system and i have to flash original bl/ap/cp/csc to get a working system again??????????????

#1 IN Development unlock oem !

#2 factory reset phone in stock recovery pull battery an replace go in to download mod plug phone into PC flash twrp using Odin make shore in Odin options to uncheck auto reboot !

#3 pull an replace battery again go straight into twrp recovery flash latest SUPERSU FILE an reboot you are rooted !

did that and sideloaded supersu in twrp and good to go

Anyone confirm that this will work on a Tmobile j727 ?I just want to make downloaded apps, system apps, not looking to root or anything
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Spaceminer:
Flash it with Odin, and leave auto reboot checked. As soon as the screen turns off, hold (Vol↑+Home) only. Twrp will boot. Then factory reset the phone in TWRP using the option where you need to type in "yes". Then immediately flash superSU using TWRP. Reboot and wait. It'll loop once, and then eventually startup. This works for me 100% of the time.

Edit: Saw you got it it working on the bottom of your post. I'll leave this in case anyone needs it though.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
The first almost sounds like you're attempting to break into the device. Your only hope is reflashing an official OTA so that Odin would accept it, and hoping it'll let you in.

Second, that's the format option, where you must type 'yes' to proceed. That's what you need to do.

Third- probably.

Send me a PM describing as best as you can, what you did to the USB settings. I think I can fix your phone. For future reference, since this was not caused by twrp, this should not be posted in this thread. Q&A/Help section next time please. It helps everyone.

Reading Comprehension

Please note:

At no time, in no way, have I nor would I imply or infer that minz1, TWRP or the recovery responsible for the problem I, and I ALONE caused.

I posted here because Minz1 and Peter and other in this thread have proven abilities to troubleshoot and find practical solutions to this and other types of problems.

What I did to the USB settings, I'm embarrassed to say, I don't know for sure. I was very fatigued, too tired, a little buzzed and not paying the attention I obviously should have been. I did not, at that time, make note of the actual settings, nor what they were before I changed them, or even what I set them to.

The buttons obviously work, at least the VolDown, as I use it to enter the DOWNLOAD menu, but neither work once in the menu.

I have looked and found some links to Kies recovery APP and the Samsung Smart Switch, but both that I found failed to run after installed on my Win 7 Pro PC. I'm sure I did not locate the actual OFFICIAL software. That astounded me and I gave up earlier this evening and made dinner, watched Chicago PD, and was about to go to bed when I got email indicating you contacted me.

I will again pursue the solution THAT I, AND I ALONE CAUSED, hopefully with the assistance of those who participate in a forum MANY are paying attention to. Languorously posting in an idle thread, wishfully hoping someone meanders by and notices my posts is not really my idea of proactively solving a problem.

I never said that you were blaming TWRP or Minz1 for your issues. I said, since it was not caused by Minz1 or TWRP, the problem you have should not be posted here. It does not belong here. If you don't believe this, read XDA's rules about posting. Your problem belongs in the Q&A/Help section. This thread is for Minz1's TWRP, and related development. Yes, Minz1 and Peter are very skilled. That does not make it okay to spam the thread with an unrelated issue. If you want help, post it in the appropriate place, PM Minz1, Peter, or myself, and someone will probably try to help you. I'm not replying to anything further regarding this matter in Minz1's thread, it's bad etiquette.

Won't mount Data

So, the booting of TWRP onto my device was all said and done, but TWRP refuses to mount Data. I'm trying to install Magisk onto it, but it just flat out refuses with an error appearing right when the Magisk installer attempts to update partition details:

"Updating Partition Details...

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)

...done

My Magisk Version is 16 and the TWRP version is 3.2.2.0

so right now Im not sure what to do :crying:

any help would be appreciated

EDIT: im ****ing dumb there is a format data option when on TWRP, and after wiping it and redownloading Magisk it ****ing worked. Goddamn it.

What files would you need to give TWRP proper Oreo support? I'm running Oreo 8.1 on the J727P, and TWRP partially works. It can install root, but it can't backup any part of the system, or data. I have the entire firmware on hand. Anything that you need, I'll be happy to upload.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
How are you running Oreo?

EDIT: I'll get it sorted out once my J7 is on Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] deadman96385:
TWRP is working fine on oreo, you have to wipe the data partition and flash a zip to turn off force encrypt if you wanna backup to the data partition. But backing up via sdcard or otg works fine.

Oreo firmware is here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/sm-j727p-oreo-8-1-firmware-t3841778

So can we Root using superSU 2.8.2 zip yes or no ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] deadman96385:
No clue i don't use supersu anymore, magisks works fine
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
J727P update

Ok thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
As long as you use the latest you probably will be fine, but Magisk is the way to go IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Spaceminer:
Magisk loses root after a few reboots. And SuperSU 2.82SR5 will cause a bootloop. TWRP 3.2.3 cannot backup the data or system partition. Formatting let's you see and mount /data, but it still can't write to it, or back it up. The only way to restore a backup from Oreo, is to flash the ARG2 bootloader file. Also, TWRP can only write to the partitions if its a very fast operation, like flashing root. If you try to make a backup, or restore one, it'll reboot to recovery after 10-20 seconds and abort.

Edit: I'll try the Magisk patch method outlined by deadman96385 and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
J727P update

So is Root working using magisk or not do we have a reliable Root method for 8.1.0 ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Spaceminer:
It appears to be working if you follow this order, flash Oreo > flash TWRP > format data > reboot to recovery > mount system > flash magisk 17.1 > reboot. I'm almost %100 positive we still need a patch, or an update to TWRP though. You will not be able to flash an OS, or make/restore a backup with TWRP while running Oreo. No combination of formating and flashing Magisk will fix it. I've tried numerous disable dm-verity/no encryption patches and nothing has worked so far.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
J727P update

Have you remove all Knox apps from you system an security log agent app ? Don't think that will help but it can't hurt ! An did you factory reset before installing twrp ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Spaceminer:
I always remove Knox, and I've tried a factory reset. It doesn't do any good. It's definitely related to the Oreo bootloader firmware files. Flashing the ARG2 bootloader firmware will allow TWRP to work fine, even with the Oreo system installed. But, the ARG2 bootloader, will not boot up the Oreo system. It complains about the kernel not being se android enforcing, then it bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
J727P update

You know we could just copy the apps we like from this an go back to nougat with root an add them in ! well I guess no one has any thing more to say about 8.1.0 twrp or Root for this phone ! xda has gone down hill hasn't it ?!?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Spaceminer:
Minz1 is aware of the issue, and working on it as far as I know. I think I figured out the root issue. It seems like Magisk gets to put sleep and doesn't wake back up. I lost root again, so I decided to force close magisk, and root started working again after a few minutes. I still can't mount data under any circumstances. Weird thing is, even though TWRP can't install any OS or make a backup, it can install Lineage 15 without bootlooping. You read that correctly, Lineage 15 was not a typo. It exists, it doesn't boot though. I think it has something to do with the OTA Sig check files in the meta info folder. I think if I include that in my install process, then I can make a flashable ROM. It won't fix the no backup issue though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] mekzmaz323:
Hi!

I´ve flashed the lineage OS (thanks tdm). From now on i can use 5GHz wifi networks.

ZTE told us, that the mini doesn´t support them.

Here is the proof:

Why did ZTE build in 5GHz hardware, but make it unusable?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] zte11:
My guess is that the WiFi chipset manufacturer sells the same chipset with different capabilities. Many hardware manufacturers do this since for them is cheaper to produce the same hardware and disable extra features via software instead of removing the actual hardware. ZTE probably asked for 2GHz only to cut the price of the mini.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] xRogerxC:
If that's the case, it would be great if 5Ghz could be enabled without having to root/custom ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] mekzmaz323:
This is not possible, because you have to edit the kernel, to load driver for the WiFi Hardware.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] xRogerxC:
Lol, I know, just wishful thinking on my part.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] ZTEMINI:
Actually, it looks like it's just a configuration file, so maybe it could done in the stock firmware by rooting the device:

[General Questions and Answers] shanegarm:
Something really weird happened with the shape of the key borders on Gboard, and I can't figure out what caused it. I noticed last week that all of a sudden the key borders on Gboard changed shape. They went from the normal rectangles to circles, which looked much better in my opinion. I really wish I had taken a screenshot so I could show an example. But anyways, all of a sudden the key borders reverted back to rectangles. I can't figure out why this happened. I don't think it's due to substratum, as I tried reapplying a theme to Gboard and nothing changed. Does anyone else have any idea what could have caused this and how I can get the circles back? I did a Google search and I could only find one example of this happening to someone in 2014, and they weren't circles. Anyone have any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] Middbro:
It happens when I switch battery saving mode on and off. (Galaxy s8)
[General Questions and Answers] Wits.Pk:
I have been trying to figure this out myself and consequently landed on this post. Still no solution found. I liked the rounded keys better.

Yesterday however, I noticed that the keys changed shape as per the changes they had to make to accommodate additional bar on the keyboard (e.g. numbers row) or while opening and closing something on screen that forced the keyboard expand or contract.

The smaller the keyboard had to get, the more rounded the keys were. Larger, more square.

May be try changing the size of the keyboard?
[General Questions and Answers] Wits.Pk:
Okay, so, very oddly, I have found out that the keys go into the rounded version when the Medium Power saving mode is switched ON (samsung galaxy S9). And back into square shape when power saving is turned OFF. Tried and tested several times.

I fail to understand the logic behind this !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saviour555:
Hi everyone.

Got Note Edge N915G which was running fine with Micky's MM ROM V3. As there was one problem- low incall volume in the ROM, I decided to revert to Stock firmware yesterday. Accordingly, I flashed Stock Firmware with Odin 3.12. Flashing went fine with Odin but I got this infinite bootloop. I am having this cycle of Phone turning on and logo appearing for two seconds and turning off again. I cannot go to stock recovery (shows <blue> "recovery booting' message and phone turns off) but can go to download mode fine.

What I have done so far:

-Flashing different versions of stock firmware (Lollipop and Marshmallow) by Odin 3.12. It completed with "Passed" message but the problem remains the same.

-Flashing by Samsung Smart Switch application. It completed 100% but the problem is same.

-Flash TWRP recovery by Odin. Then tried to install Micky ROM again but it could not complete. Device switches off at the stage of flashing of "system.img"

-Flash custom kernal also but no good.

-Thought it might be "Power button" problem, tried to soft press it various ways. But it does not seem so.

I have been flashing custom ROM for some time and thought I am good at it. But I cannot get the idea what the current problem is. So I would appreciate someone please help me out.:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnMichaelCost:

When i update to 4.4 custom rom i need to back to 4.3 because of doesn't work the wifi so i back and boom...bootloop, i forgot to flash the firmware and bootloader and hey is working again.

Edit:-

Tested this rom for 1 hour.This rom is stable and has a very nice and fluid UI. This Rom looks nearly like MIUI 9( :) ).While testing this rom,I found that there are few other bugs which are not mentioned here:

1)import sim contacts not working...phone app crashes

2)cannot flash google apps(tried only opengaaps pico).Also after failed opengaaps install,the phone will get stuck on starting apps.I used TWRP 3.0.2-0 Carbon Fiber Light Blue Round

3)Screen won't light up after pressing home button after device is locked.To unlock the device,we need to press the power button

4)Default file manager does not show external sdcard and camera photos save in internal storage (maybe its the stock Flyme app's fault)
