[Recovery][15.03.18][3.2.1-1][SM-G965F/FD/N] TWRP star2lte

[Tkkg1994]

ONLY FOR EXYNOS MODELS (SM-G965F/FD/N)
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.



This will trip knox to 0x1, your phones warranty will be voided, flash at your own risk. Also, this process will wipe your personal data!

HOW TO INSTALL:
0. Make sure you enabled developer settings by pressing the build number several times and have the OEM unlock enabled
1. Boot into download mode by pressing: bixby, volume down and power
2. Download the latest Odin version, open it
3. Download the recovery file from below and put it into the AP tab
4. Untick "auto reboot" in odin and flash the file
5. After flashing, boot into twrp. Make sure to NOT allow system to be modified till you disable dm-verity! (otherwise your phone will be stuck at bootloop). Alternatively flash my stock patched kernel to the boot partition (install, install img, check the kernel, check boot partition, done). Find the patch kernel here
6. To disable encryption you need to format data

DOWNLOAD:
Download via Mega

BUGS:
- Samsung encryption is NOT supported

There's already a small update for this TWRP:

- Added omc partition to the mount table
- Since we are using treble here I enabled that you can flash img files to the system/vendor partitions
- Fixed USB OTG issues

Also I made a stock kernel which disables force encryption and dm-verity! Flash it as img to the boot partition!

TWRP 3.2.1-1

Patched stock boot.img

Guys from what I heard magisk 16.1 was causing bootloops!

My Dutch Exynon S9+ came out of the box with unlocked bootloader. If you own a non Amerikan Exynon device than i guess yours is unlocked as well.

Thank you - great to see you here!

Am I correct in understanding that When I flash TWRP - Wipe/Format Data - I can then flash your modified boot image and I don't have to flash the separate No Verity file found on other threads?

I know this makes me look stupid, but I am just wanted to be sure i understood correctly.


Thank you for all the development you do!

In case you were not aware, If you don't see OEM unlock in Developer Settings it means you are locked out from flashing anything for 7 days. (Exactly 7 days, 168 hours. After that time frame is over - reboot your phone and go into developer settings and you should see OEM unlock there. Once you have it turned on - flash twrp and immediately afterwards, flash the RMM state Fix to make sure it doesn't happen again. If you ever flash new firmware in odin, it will very likely start the clock again and you will have to wait 7 days.

While you are waiting, you can turn off the phone - reboot if you need to - but don't remove the sim card and leave data on.
You can find the RMM State fix here with a detailed explanation about what it is - here:

Good Luck

Thanks, but how do you know that your phone is unlocked ? do you miss the "oem unlock on" from developer too ?

 

[BokkieAndijk]

At the moment mine is still in bootloop cause I'm downloading the stock Rom so I can't show you a screenshot but I'm sure I saw it in developer options last morning.

Not all Exynos are "unlocked". I dont knwo why some are and some are not - but the light at the end of the tunnel is that if you don't see OEM unlock now, if you wait 7 days - you will. You will just need patience. There isn't anything else you can do about it unfortunately.

From my findings it's Magisk that is causing the bootloop, I have tried 16.0 & 16.1 and also going back to 15.3 all causing bootloop. Think we need to wait a little for root :good:
