[RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.1.1-0] Galaxy J7 - SM-J700T/T1

[GuestK0010]

Just curious now that we are on the verge of getting at least one Oreo ROM on the J700T/J770T1 is there a chance of getting TWRP updated as well?

He just updated it at the end of november.there isn't really any need. Works great still.

Update: looks like it's fixed now. Though, i had to odin flash stock and redo the steps. Magisk would not install even after data wipe in twrp. Odin flash fixed it and Safteynet now passes and root again. That was strange though lol.

Interesting issue that just happened. Magisk mysteriously disappeared and when i installed it manually, it no longer passes safetynet

Cannot get to installed TWRP recovery

SM-J700T 7.1.1 TWRP seems to have installed properly from ODIN but no matter how I try to get to TWRP recovery (via the 3-finger salute OR rebooting via adb reboot recovery) I end up at the stock Android recovery screen.

I still have to install SU or Magisk in order to try other ROMs or even just do a full backup of the configuration I already like, right?

Thanks, all
RG

Hey hey owners of the SM-J700T1!

I am still rockin' with the j700t1 phone and will still be rockin' until my next phone is unlockable and root achieved, I wonder how many of us is still left rockin' with our model.

This is a big big huge thanks to ashyx for the custom recovery for our model, just when most have moved on (sadly, no longer unlockable bootloaders if you happen to live in the U.S) to better new "shiny" phones. I'm still hanging on.

Even replaced the battery lol. This phone is truly a gem for rooting.

With that said, i did notice discrepancies in both versions of twrp in the img flash feature and only discovered it recently when i flashed twrp 3.0


In Imge flash feature

twrp 3.0:

System
Boot
Recovery
Cache
Radio

Twrp 3.1
System
Boot
Recovery

For the life of me i was confused as in the description said cache and radio was included.

I was confused all this time because never bothered with 3.0 up until yesterday, and also the fact i had to use system as cache to extract the csc zip in the cache.img (which is needed if you want lte and metropcs wallpapers) lol.

Got to the mystery (at last) and no longer confused (well not up until when i unpacked recovery to look at the fstab file lol)

I see it in fstab but i don't see the missing partitions in recovery. I did manage to add sdext2 and now shows in recovery and works flawlessly. No more third party apps to format sdext2 of the micro-sdcard (yay lol)

But anyways, how do i add cache partition in the imge flash?

Once again, a big huge thank to you ashyx [emoji106][emoji106][emoji4]

I think if you format data.. It should (I mean Should ,as I'm guessing)...CREATE it for you...but that would obviously ERASE whatever is on the current Rom...[emoji848] RIP CACHE

This is for the manual image flash feature when you want to install zips/images. cache, radio are not showing in twrp 3.1

Oh you mean from ODIN Yeah I was thinking to far ahead...Sorry...Since CACHE is partition related...ODIN does have a Re-partition button when flashing TWRP.img file... That should "repair" it...but I saw a mention about .tar.md5 files from some ODIN Feature guide...so that's what I'm referring too...take a look...Obviously I'm a noob...That just found out how to flash s**t...[emoji848]

There is no need to re-partition or odin. The image flash allows you to flash directly withou the need of odin. Cache does shows to mount to browse in just does not show when it comes to select the cache.img to flash cache partition.

In twrp 3.0 the cache shows for image flash. The workaround i have is to flash cache.img in system before flashing system.img because you are going to need the csc.zip to install or your phone will not work properly.
