First release with Android 11 kernel, built for BUA8 firmware.

Any file beginning with Magisk- is now considered flashable.

Does TWRP 3.5 support flashing ROMs/GSIs yet? System.img is within the dynamic partition, super.img, and since I don't use Linux I've been waiting for TWRP to support this as manually unpacking super and repacking super is a bit beyond my comfort level.

Awesome work!!! Will be attempting to create the same for T878U (Tmobile) A11
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LSS4181:
I tried this guide. Although it can indeed flash the GSI (as confirmed by looking at the /system_root contents), I currently can't make it boot. It keeps rebooting in the Samsung (Knox) logo that warns me about using custom ROM...

I'm currently on the stock kernel with Magisk installed into it. Magisk works in stock ROM without major issues after flashing neutralized vbmeta and Multi-Disabler.

I don't know if I need to use an unmodified kernel image for GSI, but given Knox is quite complicated I'm worried about getting myself into a mess that I can't get out of by merely restoring a backup...

So for now... GSI is yet to be bootable on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] :
Agreed. I'm sticking with stock unrooted till I see TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mistermojorizin:
Which partitions do you all pick when making a TWRP Backup? Super/data/boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LSS4181:
I simply check everything in case of emergency, though in most cases I only need to restore Super/data/boot like you said. Those other partitions aren't too much in size compared to the overall storage space the tablet provides.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mistermojorizin:
I'm going to check everything except optics and prism (but selected optics image and prism image). if it works like /system used to, then it would be redundant to check both system and system image.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
I check everything except data and save it for a rainy day. When I make future backups it's just data... No need to worry about all that other stuff when I have a backup of the whole shibang.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] FireHeart7:
So, to get things perfectly straight, after unlocking the bootloader, you:

-Flash TWRP and the vbmeta at the same time (Or does one have to come before the other?)

-Flash the multi-disabler in TWRP and reformat

-Then flash Magisk and install the manager

Hopefully I have this correct, I want to try it out on my S7+ in the next few days
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] veekay:
Well crap, trade in offer was too good. Hoping the T870 version can be worked out, will be ready to test. Only thing that might be keeping me from purchasing one. Need twrp action.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
Maybe we could offer a bounty for a functioning TWRP for the T870. I'd be willing to kick in some $$$.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] veekay:
From what I saw it seems like it just needed testers, since he mentioned only one person tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] FireHeart7:
Hate to ask a dumb question, but does the newest A11_3 version ONLY work if you have updated to Android 11?

I flashed in the one that said it was for Android 10 and everything went fine, but now it only boots to recovery. Has that problem not been fixed for Android 10 or am I missing something?

Really need some help, if anyone can set me straight. Thanks.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
I saw that. It didn't work for the guy that tried it so I wasn't gonna waste my time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] veekay:
Probably is going to involve troubleshooting with the dev, since he doesn't have the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nightmare1942:
Hi guys,

I tried flashing TWRP on Android 11 today with the image provided (Odin 3.14.4).

I used AP slot with .img and tried packaging it to .tar but both won't work either way (first just stops at checking file and the ladder closes the odin).

My tablet is already rootet with Magisk.

I'm on firmware BUC1. Is that an issue?

//Edit:

Nevermind, got a "converter".

What are the buttons to push to get into recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aa2994576:
T870Hope to have twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
I'll say it again... Let's just find someone willing to do it and PAY the guy if we have to.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aa2994576:
I contacted him at Telegraph and told him I could help with the test and he didn't even get back to me, so sad
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
Not to serious I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Arakawa.:

Hello, will this recovery work on T975(S7+ LTE version) and if so, will I be able to use it on 2 version of bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Vntnox:
Already tried Ian TWRP + my kernel on T875.

It is kinda working but has a corrupted display issue.

Everything covered with blue overlay except the twrp title(cpu usage&time%battery).

So maybe u can use the recovery in a shell mode.

Another trouble that I could not boot into a system before reflashing stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Gilbot:
Any way to get TWRP fastboot mode enabled in recovery? I am able to install a GSI on a Note 20 ultra that way and figure it would probably work for this too.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AngeryCinnabon:
This is really handy, ever try pushing it to twrp officially?

Also it does work on the s7+ 512; I flashed it by installing magisk and then flashing this via the twrp app.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Dragon Kumera:
thx for letting me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ilya33:
please confirm which android 11 build you are on when you installed TWRP? latest one is BUF... I wonder if this TWRP will work for this and later updates?!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Nuke1999:
"BUF"?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ilya33:
I mean T975 model, Android 11 version, security level 2, build 01 June 2021, last 4 letters are .......BUF5. Current TWRP is based on Android 11 .....BUA8 build 01 January 2021. I wonder whether TWRP will work on these later builds?!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mrlove6:
this TWRP doesn't work on the current BUF5 at all, keep on rebooting into recovery. Please can you update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poincare:
Hello sirs,

This can be used on the S7+ WIFI Only version?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Just wanted to drop a note here that I've collected the necessary pieces and am looking into doing a build for the T870. I have a lot of experience with the Linux kernel, and at least some Android knowledge, so I'm pretty hopeful that I can pull this off. I'm writing a document on what needs to be done along the way, so hopefully others will be able to reproduce this effort as kernel sources for other related devices become available.

Wish me luck - I'll post back if/when I've made more progress.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
I've managed to successfully build the customized kernel for TWRP, and I've extracted the dtb and recovery_dtbo from the recovery.img in the BUC6 firmware that I got my hands on. Looking at the layout of the unpacked recovery.img, I believe these should be able to be dropped straight into Ian's twrp_gts7xl tree with few other modifications, aside from the device name and security patch level.

I'm still not super clear on how the TWRP puzzle-pieces fit together after that though. It seems to me like the the twrp_gts7xl tree (or twrp_gts7lwifi in my case) should be added as a submodule to the android_bootable_recovery TWRP source tree, and then everything is built from there, but I don't quite see how that would work just yet.

I've looked at these two "guides" on building TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/t/dev-how-to-compile-twrp-touch-recovery.1943625/

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-building-twrp-from-source-with-goodies.4029449/

But the first is very outdated, and the second seems to be going a whole different route than what Ian did (from what I can tell at least). I think I'll get this figured out eventually, but if anyone knows anything about this piece of things (or knows someone who does), I'd certainly appreciate a little guidance here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
I think I'm getting this figured out. The second guide turns out to be pretty close to what I needed, but I'm new to building this stuff, so I didn't quite understand it at first. After looking at a few other builds on the TWRP Telegram group, I'm starting to understand.

Fingers crossed the repo sync doesn't fill up my disk. Not sure how much more stuff I can erase :P
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Argh, I made it so far down the field, but I'm running into https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_aosp/issues/2.

I'm going to keep an eye on the issue, and keep playing with the build myself, but being that I'm not too experienced with Android builds, I'll probably be dead in the water for a little while...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
I prayed to grep for a couple hours and figured out the issue here. Took a couple hours to build, but I finally got a recovery.img.

I have my bootloader unlocked and was hoping to test this out using `fastboot boot <image>`, but I keep getting an "unknown command" error from that. I'll put the recovery image up for others to try tomorrow, but I was wondering: Is it possible to test the image in this manner, or do I need to actually flash it to the device to test it on the T870?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
As far as I know with Samsung devices you'll need to actually flash the recovery image in odin.

T870 guy since the beginning. I've been hoping someone would do this. Thanks for the effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Ok, good to know. Just to confirm: I've seen some conflicting stuff on here regarding whether or not that will trip Knox/void my warranty. Will it do those things if I flash with Odin? I'm not super concerned about that, but I wanted to know what I'm signing up for.

Anyway, I've got some work to do outside, but I'll get this uploaded in a few hours for others to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Vntnox:
No wonder custom code in any partition will trip Knox.

Especially TWRP recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Here is a link to the T870 (T870XXU2BUC6) recovery image on my Google Drive:

twrp-gts7lwifi_BUC6.img

drive.google.com

Please let me know if you're able to download this. I'll find a "better" place to upload it once somebody can confirm that it actually works. I looked into AndroidFileHost, but their "Request Developer Access" page appears to be completely broken, so I can't actually request it...

Anyway, I'm looking into what I need to do to test this myself to make further development easier, but I'm not fully confident that I understand the entire process, and I don't wanna brick my brand new tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
Don't worry about bricking your device. Unless you really do something stupid ODIN-ing a full image will always bail you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Good to know. I've bricked a device or two in the past, so I'm being extra cautious with this one :P
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
You know bx, if I were you I would think about starting a T870 TWRP thread. It would make it a lot easier for T870 folks to find it... Even Google would bring it up in a search.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
I'm definitely gonna start one once somebody has had a chance to test it. I wanted to see if it actually works before I start one, although I should probably stop flooding this thread at some point no matter what, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
Well, I went back to Android 10 when you still could so I don't know if I could actually test it for you.

I may just update because the issue I had with 11 is no longer a problem (adding a file to the system folder).

Another reason to start a thread is it could pull in some help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Well let me know if you do get a chance to test it. I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with hacking on the thing knowing that I have a full copy of the replacement firmware, so I'll hopefully get around to trying it myself today or tomorrow, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

BTW, I'm creating my own TWRP thread now. I'll post a link to it here once it's up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
I'll bet that will pull in testers as well. Lot of T870 folks expressed interest in TWRP in the s7+ thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bxlentpartyon:
Alright, I've created my own thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-experiment-twrp-for-galaxy-tab-s7-wifi.4313367/

And I posted the write-up on how I did all this as well.

I'll start working on hacking up my own tablet for testing soon, but using Windows is a difficult experience for me, so it'll probably have to wait until I've had a few beers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
Good deal. I'll start work on updating and reinstalling all my apps so I can test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Vntnox:
Stick to it pal.

A10 is really better in many ways.

For SM-T976B latest FW T976BXXU2BUJ3, is there an updated usable TWRP, I tried ianmacd's & afaneh92's, all failed.

If somebody have solution, plz help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AnonVendetta:
TWRP is working great for me on EUX BUJ3 firmware (Tab S7+ SM-T970). No blue/black screen issues. I just had to flash a neutralized vbmeta.img and the multi disabler zip, followed by a factory reset and Magisk. I also haven't had any issues with TWRP being replaced with the stock recovery.

I got a little discouraged after seeing @tnchng's report of TWRP not working on BUJ3 (the post above), but had to try anyway.

@tnchng: What do you mean by "failed"? Did it fail to flash? Or did it flash successfully but won't boot into TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] tnchng:
Finally, solved it. The combo Key changed by Samsung. Thx for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AnonVendetta:
@tnchng: Well, good. I figured that since it was working on BUJ3 for me but not you, then maybe you were doing something incorrectly, or wrong order.

I've tried the hardware button combos for booting into recovery/download mode, but it always boots straight into Android instead. I received my tab with Android 11 preinstalled, no way to downgrade to 10. I can get into either mode with adb commands, a PC, or a rebooter app, but just the button combos alone don't work. What buttons are you pressing, in what order, for how long, when are you releasing them?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] tnchng:
From 11, same combo keys, but must make sure with USB connected. This is annoying from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AnonVendetta:
I switched back to XAR BUJ3 firmware last night, followed by neutralized vbmeta, TWRP, latest Magisk canary, and multidisabler. All went well, until I tried to delete a file from system partition in TWRP. I got an error 1. It seems that I can't delete from/copy to system/vendor/product partitions, always same error 1.

Running rm -rf or cp commands in TWRP terminal reveals the underlying source of the error...read only filesystem. I can make most of the changes from within Android, no issues deleting from/moving to these partitions while booted. But there are some changes I need to make from TWRP while Android isn't running.

I was previously running EUX BUJ3 firmware, with that I never got the issue. Going to try flashing that again tonight with same steps.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AnonVendetta:
Why do you ask now? Android 12 isnt even available for our tab yet, much less a beta, but you are already asking for TWRP. That means the source code for it isn't available yet either, which is needed to compile TWRP. Wait until we get A12 first.
