New feature available in TWRP v3 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)

Basically this means factory system images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP.

This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.

IMPORTANT: THIS DEVICE EMPLOYS DM-VERITY. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE SYSTEM WILL TRIGGER DM-VERITY CAUSING A BOOT LOOP.

AFTER FLASHING TWRP DM-VERITY WILL NEED TO BE DISABLED BY FLASHING SUPERSU OR MAGISK.

ALTERNATIVELY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO INSTALL THE BOOT PATCH.

You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.

Instructions:

Flash with ODIN 3.12.7 in the AP slot.

Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.

Uncheck Auto reboot.

Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.

After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.

As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

You should now see TWRP recovery.

NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE IMPLICITLY WILL RESULT IN STOCK RECOVERY REPLACING TWRP AT FIRST BOOT.

NOTE: ON ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0/7.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:

Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking

AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
