Finally got my S21U rooted following this thread. I had always ended up bricking my device because I missed the "multidisabler" step which was not mentioned in other guides I read. Thanks a bunch!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rehannali:
@afaneh92 Does this twrp and decryption support for android 12. I follow exact same steps and got boot back to recovery and never boot up systems.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
3.6 should be ok on 12, if you did steps correctly should be ok.

Type this in terminal or use adb

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rehannali:
I exactly follow these steps in fresh installation. Still boot back to recovery after run multidisabler. When did i need to run this command?

@afaneh92 Could you provide steps to install Android 12 on snapdragon version with root and twrp with decryption?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ivixmax:
I Think is neccesary a new tutorial to do this in Android 12.I hope the dev update the steps....

I get an error when trying to backup data, any fix for this? All other partition backup is fine. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:

post your device software info
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] CHN_Obsidian:
Need help -- Thanks so so much.

I was using this TWRP without problem until just now -- prior to that, I set up a screen lock password for it this noon. I wanted to see if I can still use the TWRP with a password, so I did a "Reboot to recovery" in the Magisk app.

And here comes the trouble -- after showing the TWRP logo for a while, the phone does not enter TWRP, but reboots again. But with the "Reboot to recovery" operation still in effect, the phone tries to go TWRP, and TWRP reboots the phone, again -- and again -- bootlooped.

Now I'm out of ideas -- I tried multiple key combos, none of them work (Even if some do forcefully reboot the device, it is still heading into recovery after); Went inside Download mode but nope, when leaving it it's still TWRP...

There isn't much info I can find on Google because

1. This is a Samsung device.

2. The bootloop is caused by TWRP, not a magisk module.

As I mentioned earlier, prior to this the TWRP worked all fine and well, I was able to browse files, flash things, etc.

The TWRP version shown on the loading screen is 3.5.1_10-3_afaneh92-R.

Now, is this fixable while keeping all my data on the phone? I have some pretty important files there, and the data partition isn't encrypted, too.

I don't have a computer right now, but I should be able to get one tomorrow (GMT+8, currently 21:07).

My current idea is to try to flash its stock recovery to try to let it finish the command... Just

1. I'm not sure how Samsung's system images work, and Odin in general

2. I'm not sure if that could solve the problem or not

3. I'm not sure what will happen after reflashing the stock system image, cuz there was, you know, multidisabler and stuff. I really, really **need** my data inside plz!!

Can someone help --- THANKS SO MUCH!!

Edit: Should have added a bit more info,

Device: S21 Ultra, CN variant, bought October last year, rooted immediately

System: OneUI 3.1 Android 11, not sure exactly what version

Currently, my biggest quesion is will booting into the system with a stock recovery and a reflashed system affect anything, especially when the data is not encrypted and not formatted. multidisabler is another thing, as if I want to get TWRP back again, I'll have to reflash multidisabler again, this time with all my data... And I don't know what could happen.

Thanks, thanks again!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
IDK what you did but dont flash stock recovery, flash latest twrp 3.6
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] CHN_Obsidian:
Thanks so much for the reply.

I will flash 3.6 as soon as I have access to my computer.

May I ask, for updating the TWRP, do I still follow the same instruction as the first-time install (The TWRP file and the vbmeta thing)?

Also, in theory, should a lock screen password affect the startup of TWRP?

Lastly, in case that still doesn't fix the bootloop, should I try to reflash the system as a whole (like a system update, I'll still try to keep my data)?

Sorry for the questions, and thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
no just flash it in odin
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] CHN_Obsidian:
Gotcha, just flash that single file? Will do tomorrow.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] CHN_Obsidian:
Might still need your help... I tried a paid device rescue service today, they reflashed the system, tried a new TWRP (3.6.1-AURORA), but in the end the twrp still stucked at loading screen, and I cannot go inside system or anything. (They refunded me, too.)

One thing I have noticed is that in fact between each stuck and reboot, there is a tiny amount of time (roughly 5 seconds) that I can at least seemingly execute ADB commands normally. I wonder if this can help...

No matter what, the Download mode works completely fine.

THANKS!!!!

Edit: like, if TWRP generates logs at all, maybe I can use that small amount of time to extract some TWRP logs?

Edit 2: Just tried, it seems like adb pull works completely fine!! So if I get to know where does TWRP store its logs, I can get them out.

This means that some of my smaller files are extractable now, too!!

I apply these two files using odin patched to my sm-g991b/ds rooted with [magisk and updated]

result is a logo TWRP SIGNALING forever

solution: Mrs developer needs to notify that in the 1st page of his post

and for fixing the issue you need to flash it with the stock csc [not home csc] using odin...for me took me forever to put the phone on download mode because of that loop
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
Mr user need to flash latest twrp build not the first one you see
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Hamid2nd:
Mrs devlpr, I already broke my new s21 twice following your guide and used the twrp and usr patch of g991b. Yours is a g991b/N Mine broke bacause its a g991b/ds. USE this feed back and be more careful about your psychy or whatever ur prb is.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
I think your problem is with your brain. You said its G991B and you are posting in the S21 Ultra thread not only this in the snapdragon section

You have regular exynos S21 so just wake up and dont flash files while you are drunk
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shadyover:
@afaneh92 I have done all your instructions and all is working very well till now.

SM-G9980 One UI 5.0 Android 13

TWRP flashed, Encryption disabled, Magisk Delta installed.

My urgent question for you is what about the next upcoming firmware update? how I can I maintain the Encryption Disabled and TWRP installed when I flash the next update without loosing data ?? I need detailed steps please for that.

I really admire your work, great thanks to you 🌹
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
I will post instructions soon
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shadyover:
Now there is a new software update, what should I do now ?

SM-G9980

Current SW: G9980ZHU2DVK9

Latest SW: G9980ZHS2DVL3

waiting for your instructions....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shadyover:
Still waiting, I really don't want to redo the exhausting process of formatting and restoring all my data again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afaneh92:
Note: steps 2-6 are important, missing any will lose your data.

1. Load all files to their respective slots in odin, pick HOME_CSC instead of CSC.

2. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and hit start.

3. Reboot to download if possible from odin options, or using buttons combo.

4. Keep auto reboot unchecked, Flash TWRP in AP slot and vbmeta_disabled.tar in USERDATA

5. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up and power to reboot into TWRP.

6. Disable encryption:

- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.

You will see " - Finished." When it is done.

7. flash custom kernel and magisk then reboot to system (optional).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shadyover:
I already patch AP tar file with Magisk and flash it in Odin with rest of slots with HOME_CSC as mentioned, so step 7 is not needed am I right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ebowen 747:
I have sm-g9980. I flashed twrp and vbmeta with no problems. Twrp working no problem, after I put a simcard into simslot 2 I get a blue screen that says locked. I think due to vbmeta. Odin flash restores the phone but vbmeta wouldn't install anymore, failed each time. Now OEM unlock only shows sometimes but never the option to unlock bootloader on download mode. Any idea how to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ebowen 747:
I also noticed in download mode OEM lock on U1 meaning us variant. Is it possible the vbmeta altered download mode to now block bootloader unlock?

Try Chrome BETA, and see if it does the same, if not, remove the BETA and install the stable one again, if the same drain happens again then it's a chrome issue and not your device.

Chrome as some qualities but it's not battery friendly for smartphone.

You should try samsung browser. Very fluid and with good features. And battery friendly !

Yet I have been using firefox for years on my computer but it is really bad on my phone for exemple.

Hello,

I know the question on how to get the LAC and Cell-ID from a WinMo phone has been answered many times, but I haven't seen the question as to how to get the neighboring cell tower information. For example, the HTC FieldTest.EXE program allowed you to see the neighboring cells as well as the primary LAC and Cell-ID. How would you go about accessing that information?

I made an unofficial TWRP for my phone because official build was unavailable.

While editing the /ramdisk/etc/recovery.fstab and /ramdisk/etc/twrp.fstab, by mistake, I wrote wrong mount paths for /cache and /data. Everything else was fine in it. 😭

I flashed the twrp.img and now I'm stuck in an horrible bootloop.

I can't even enter the bootloader. Please help.

I have tried long press (volume down + power), but that too boots into TWRP.

Also tried adb wait-for-device reboot bootloader. But that too, doesn't seem to work.

I have corrected that, but I can't find a way to flash the new recovery.img

WPS Office vs MS Office on HMS

Users of HMS phones have access to the Huawei AppGallery which is constantly growing as a fantastic marketplace. Production apps are very important to smartphone users when it comes to editing and creating office documents. Two of the more popular solutions that you can find on the AppGallery are Microsoft Office and WPS Office. Both of these options have been able to evolve over a very long period of time, becoming some of the most prevalent options offering office suites.

Let's look at both of these options that are available on HMS phones and see what they have to offer.

MS Office

If you work in an office setting with a large company, chances are they will be using Microsoft Office applications. The biggest advantage of the MS Office app is that it can connect to your current Microsoft account, and have access to all of your files via the cloud. So using this app will be a way for most people to fit their mobile office suite into their existing office setup.

View attachment 5236623

The Android app which is free on the Huawei AppGallery, will have the following features:

Word

Excel

PowerPoint

PDF

Media

Notes

Forms

Microsoft's most popular office programs are Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. All of these types of documents can be created or edited in the mobile MS Office app. You can create a new document from a blank start or select from one of the templates available in the app. There are also options to use tools for PDF files, image editing, QR codes, forms, and more.

The layout of MS Office is very simple to use. All of the document menus and formatting tools are designed to be similar to the desktop suites. Users that are familiar with the desktop versions of Office will be able to start using the app with less of a learning curve.

WPS Office

Similar to MS Office, WPS Office is a complete office suite with desktop and mobile solutions. The Android app can be downloaded for free on the Huawei AppGallery. Featuring cloud sync options, support for MS Office docs, Google Drive support, and premium subscription features, WPS Office is a really great MS Office alternative.

View attachment 5236627

These are some of the features you'll find on WPS Office for Android:

Document

Presentation

Spreadsheet

PDF

Memo

Scanner

There's a large range of compatible file types, including MS Office files. WPS has a decent selection of templates to choose from, and also features image conversion tools, resume master, QR scanner, and PDF tools.

The start editing documents, you have to sign up for an account. I don't particularly like this feature, because you do not have the option to start editing immediately as you do with MS Office. Many people only need these types of office suites for a one-time use, when trying to edit a document. This puts an entire account creation process in the way of opening a word or excel document when you might only have to do this a few times a year.

Both WPS Office and MS Office are good solutions for anyone with an HMS phone.

Does anyone know of a good water-proof housing for the 6800? I am planning a fishing trip in a few weeks and it would be great to be able to safely bring it. It would also be a bonus if the phone were still usable while in the housing. Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] BillThyCat:
A good quality ziplock bag should work pretty good, and if you turn the volume all the way up it should be usable from inside the bag. Or use a cheap bluetooth headset, so if it falls in the water you won't be out to much.

Water Proof Housing..

I noticed no one gave a product link to a water proof case for the Titan..well I remember seeing it a while back and thought I'd post the link.

Do you know how big that thing would be if you put this in there? I mean are you deep sea diving with the thing? Seems a ziploc would do wonders to keep moisture out.

Geez-a-lou, that thing has been shown being driven over by a truck and surviving.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] necromis:
Boat Owner Here

I can also confirm the easiest way to go is the ziplock bag. I usually use the double zipper double lined freezer bag. We throw my Titan, my Wife's Touch and my Bro-N-Law's iPhone in there. Never had a problem with it. Just takes a moment to unzip it to get to your phone if you need to make a call. Though if you are doing deep sea fishing it won't matter as you won't have cell service after a couple miles out. So save the money and use a zippy. Honest it is the smart way to go.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] JokeZony0u:
haha, I understand..but I figured if someone really wants to go a step further or I don't know..want to spend the money for something like it..there's the option right above us, just thought it might "help" in some cases

When I go motorcycling I toss it into a cheap ziplock bag. If you use a "snack sized" bag then there's not a lot of extra plastic hanging around but it's too small to be slid open in the bag so you have to take it out to use the hardware keyboard. Touchscreen keyboard works fine though. If you use a "sandwich sized" bag then even the hardware keyboard can be used without removing it from the bag. I have never tried to place a call through the bag but it would probably work fine. A sandwich sized ziplock combined with a cheap bluetooth headset would be ideal.

I got a RAM AquaBox for mine when I'm on the motorcycle. I plumbed in a charging cord. Bluetooth music etc.

Bad idea. The phone gets EXTREMELY hot if the sun is shining. So hot, it shuts down the internal battery charger and weakened my battery.

So if you put it in a box/bag, etc., where the suns heat will get trapped, do NOT run a charge cable to it.

I've seen the overheating thing before in the car on a hot day but I live on the coast of the north Atlantic. Overheating on a motorcycle would be an amazing thing according to how cold my fingers can get, lol. I'd be more concerned about the cold!
