[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araero:
you didnt brick it thats for sure, it seems that you got 2 overlays of the twrp (unlock / enable write access) maybe try a reboot into twrp once again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
Can you explain in more detail mate as I do not understand what is required of me?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araero:
okay so TWRP got a timeout mode just like any android does, after a certain time it goes on a black screen and when turned back on you get the swipe to unlock screen that you are seeing.

Under that lock overlay is your first setup, it asks you to either use twrp in read-only or enable write for it (enabling write makes twrp possible to deny the replacing of TWRP for the default recovery mode)

You should be able to just turn off your s8 and reboot into TWRP

*Note im not responsible for causing a brick, its a unlikely event that will occur but thought to mention it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
Holding the power button does absolutely nothing so I have no idea how to turn it off.

Holding the power button and volume down gets me to this screen but the phone does not respond to touching or swiping?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araero:
Weird, maybe reflash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
As I mentioned in my first post I am new to this so you just telling me to 'reflash' is pretty meaningless.

So again I ask for more detail?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araero:
you can just follow the instructions again! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
I am guessing that you mean use Odin to install the TWRP.tar file again? If so nothing happening after clicking start.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
Trying to reflash with the correct firmware does zilch also.

My problem with this is after downloading the correct firmware and putting the files in there correct boxes and pressing start the only thing that happens is on the left side Odin box I have File analysis which is correct below that is setupconnection and then nothing seems to be happening.

I am assuming that this is because I am not in download/recovery mode but stuck on the twrp lock screen?

Volume down + bixby + power not work?

Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
Nope, that just removes the big white padlock for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eregev:
The power + vol down + bixby is really built into the phone. I've yet to see a situation where that combo won't reboot. How long have you held the buttons? Sometimes it takes 15sec or so. Also, try to see if twrp is giving you ADB access by default and try to reboot that way. Also. Very worst case is you let it die, then when you plug it in do the key combo to get into download mode, flash whatever file you want and keep going.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
You sir are a genius as that has worked and I do not understand why as I am sure I have tried that combination before now.

I am now on the Download page what is my next move please?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eregev:
Not a genius by a long shot, but have felt the despair of having a pricey paper weight on my desk before haha. Well. You can try flashing TWRP again, see if that shakes it out of its little loop. Otherwise, you can flash the original firmware like you were saying earlier just to get back to normal. I'd try flashing twrp again and see if that fixes it first.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
Will have one last go at twrp if no joy will hopefully reflash it with stock. Thanks again though I might well be back here.:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tempests:
I don't bother rooting anymore. If I want to rid myself of bloatware, I just flash using the Unlocked no carrier firmware.

Of course this is just my opinion, and I know there are other reasons. But if someone is a real novice, they should probably stay away fro rooting, or risk that pricey paper weight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
That is all that I pretty much want to do. Where do I get the Unlocked no carrier firmware from though surely the stock firmware will be free of carrier bloatware though to be honest I would quite like to get rid of some of the Samsung rubbish also?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tempests:
​

First off is your phone unlocked from the carrier? If so you can google and find the firmware for your device. You can also search XDA under Samsung S8+. You will be using ODIN, so you should be familiar with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eregev:
You know where to find us! Feel free to drop a thanks if you'd like. Also you can PM if I miss the thread notification.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
A well deserved thanks as I had pretty much given up on this though I was hoping that letting the battery completely run down might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrFraggle:
After reflashing the phone around 4 times as I never seemed to have the correct firmware I have finally got a perfectly good phone with all Vodafone apps etc removed and upgraded to Android 8 (Oreo). The other firmware's were either tied to a carrier, or foreign and would not upgrade to Oreo which I am positive the phone had until I started to mess about.

I would like to thank the guys who helped a total noobie particularly eregev for guiding me though the process. I thought I had an expensive brick but fortunately I do not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eregev:
Hey right on! You know, it's always disheartening with samsung these days to finally get a firmware download (which takes forever) then flash it (which takes forever) then set it up (which takes... some time. Let's say forever) and it ends up being the wrong firmware anyway. Glad you stuck with it and got your phone to a solid place. Happy flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
Does anybody know, if the following is working on Oreo:

- TWRP

- SuperSU (Root)

- SoundMod

- Systemless DevBase

Thanks in Advance:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FPSkillerPC:
So far I've attempted to flash the S7 nougat dual speaker mod and the phone just ended up with no sound at all. I also tried flashing S8 oreo dual speaker mod and that also failed. Looks like we just have to wait until someone comes out with a dual speaker mod for oreo on the S7.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] boooggy:
i used twrp image 3.2.1.0

and for rooting magisk 16.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zSyntex:
As they work for any Oreo ROMs (and they could), you'll have no problem with this install .zip!

SuperSU is garbage for Stock, try Magisk instead of it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
Magisk wasn't good for me in the past. At first, one Update for Magisk failed, and the Phone encrypted my Data. With the second attempt, it works, but the boot time was very long. About 3-5 Minutes. Since i deleted Magisk and install SuperSU everything is fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fred.eric:
how do you proceed?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jopponius:
Interesting topic

I read many failure topics about the s7 and oreo and root. Samsung seems to make it very difficult to root these days?

Latest twrp seems to have a mounting problem. So wich twrp is stable enough for an oreo update?

And if skipping twrp, (Because of ota and i use titanium for app settings and backup) has someone succes with magisk patched boot image and flash this with odin?)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] boooggy:
first flashed btu nougat firmware with odin

then installed oreo (i did this before full oreo image appeared)

after instalation finished i turned off and installed via odin twrp 3.2.1.1.

it restatrted to recovery where i format data. then conected phone to pc and copied no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and magisk,zip.

then installed both from recovery. rebooted and thats was all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
Do you think, this will work: (Now I have root)

1. Backup everything

2. Flash 8.0 System with Odin

3. Boot into recovery to apply CSC

4. Flash TWRP

5. Install root + Systemless DevBase and other mods

6. Wipe Cache + Dalvik

7. Boot normal to system and keep the Data from Android 7

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fred.eric:
problem with no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip

root is working, but I am not able to access /data in recovery mode just after booting to system.

It was working before. I tried reboot to recovery or poweroff off/start recovery.

After flashing TWRP, I restart in recovery mode,

format data,

reboot into recovery,

then install magisk and opt-encrypt

Did I miss a step? Is there an order to flash magisk and opt-encrypt?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
I don't think that the /data pertition in encrypted, because the first boot with old Data took very short. Maybe TWRP can't read it with oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Of course DATA partition is encrypted, that is where user sensitive information and data is stored, it gets decrypted each time the device boots

--

Android employs a straightforward block-level encryption of the data partition. Pre-Lollipop devices were using the old insecure encryption scheme that was relatively easy to break. Since Android 5.0, Google switched to new full-disk encryption that became significantly more secure. By default, the decryption key is stored in the hardware-backed storage using Trusted Execution Environment’s (TEE) signing capability (such as in a TrustZone). The data partition is decrypted with that key automatically once the device reboots.

https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/05/android-encryption-demystified/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] profi_fahrer:
It is encryped without root, but with root it is decrypted.

I can't access the /data partition with TWRP in Android 8, but with Android 7 it works. Both with root.

Didn't work for me, please elaborate how?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
I am trying to enable Miracast by editing build.prop but system is not mounting. Tried ES file explorer and build prop editor too. I'm on stock Oreo right now. Any means to edit build prop? Unable to mount system to r/w.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
Edit : The problem is may be due to Magisk, the systemless root prevents changes in system files. All the method I've tried the problem seems to be the Magisk. SuperSU working fine.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
It is a very good idea not to edit build.prop directly using Magisk. You put some resetprop command in a directory (which changed with newest Magisk, before it was some init.d), and it will be executed on startup. There are quite some threads about this, just search for it.

I asked several times how to prevent system from being mounted r/w. I don't want any app to achieve this. If you find it how you did it, please tell me what to do to enable this problem prevention.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
I don't know how to do it, I am looking for ways. There is a magisk module for build prop but the problem is it's not for Oreo so it doesn't work. I think I need to make a module but I don't know how to make one.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
You do not need to do a Magisk module, although it is possible to so. You probably want to do a shell skript. This is a text file with one line

resetprop (parameters)

You may need to write more lines into it, one for every property you need to change.

Until Magisk 16.3 there was some dir post.fs where you could put startup shell scripts. This changed recently. Please search for the syntax of resetprop and which dir you need to put the skript into.

Please ask how to to do it in this thread, there were some more people which had the same task.

Edit: As usual, do not forget to read the thread before asking anything ;)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
I don't get it. How am I supposed to do this? Any tutorial?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Manish355:
I've found a Magisk module that do the same stuff, it's called Magisk props config. You can add tweaks to build prop without editing it. It's so easy and helpful.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] RussianSolja:
Anyone ever resolve this?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] br0adband:
A .dm file is encrypted using LG's file manager, you'd need to know the password to decrypt the files. It's part of the Gallery tool as pictured.

To see those images, you need the password or the pattern lock set when the files were originally locked. As noted on the first pic the option is there to Lock new files or view ones that are already locked, but without that password or that pattern lock, forget it, you'll pretty much never get them decrypted.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] RussianSolja:
What if I remove the files factory reset the phone and move the files back in... Will that work?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] br0adband:
In my experience, when I reset a device and then went to unlock the files, it asked me to confirm the password (didn't use the pattern lock) and then it asked me which Google account was used at the time the images were locked with that password (since I have 3 accounts in use on my devices at any given time). The Google account used to lock the files must be in use on the device to unlock them.

After I confirmed the password and chose the proper Google account, the files were unlocked for viewing and then I just unlocked them completely to copy them off the device for use elsewhere.

Hope this helps...
