I'm experiencing a strange issue with TWRP : I'm under stock ROM rooted with Magisk and I did a full backup with TWRP including boot, system, data..
As I'm trying many AOSP roms, I often wipe, flash and restore backups. Yesterday, when I wanted to restore my full TW+Magisk backup, the restore was OK but the phone remained in bootloop state.
I did the following : flashed stock rom with ODIN, installed TWRP, flashed Magisk and then restored just data and it worked.
So what's gone wrong with full restore ? I never had this problem before when I was rooted with SuperSU. It's related to boot partition ? TWRP doesn't handle it correctly when modified by Magisk ?
Thanks

You have to "format" your device. Go to wipe and select format, enter "yes" and let it do its thing. Boot right back into recovery and flash away.

Which TWRP version should I use in India? I can just see Primary (Americas) and Primary (Europe) on the TWRP website. Any help?

Need help urgently.

I want to temporary run TWRP so that i can mount my phone Internal storage. Is that possible. Today i uninstalled a software called smule and it caused by phone to hang. This automatically restarted my phone and was stuck at the Samsung Logo.

Tried to do soft reset did not work, tried wipe cache from recovery did not work. When I try to mount from the system recovery it will not connect to my PC.

I have 40 GB of data on my phone which I need to recover anyhow. Hence one option that i can think of is using the TWRP recovery and mount the phone and copy my important data to pc.

My phone is the 128 GB version Black Pearl. Box say SM-g935FD1

You should try to boot in safe mode first:

You can flash stock rom (the same version you are using now or whatever custom rom) and it normally works for me and also lets me keep all my files and settings intact (and if the device is unrooted, this will also let you keep your warranty). I can't assure that your files will be safe, but this works for me every time.

Your TWRP is the wrong version, here is the correct version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f8je234s5qvlwrz/twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar?dl=0
Flash this in ODIN before doing anything else.

Also you have the wrong version of SuperSU, here is the correct version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wlhfasztpionsa/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip?dl=0

After flashing these two files do a full wipe including System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and do a factory reset in twrp.

After doing the above successfully you will be able to flash any of the S7/S7 Edge custom or stock zip file roms.

Good luck, have a great day!

    Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-4



    This is for the International SM-G935F/FD/X, Korean SM-G935K/L/S, and Canadian SM-G935W8 Exynos models only! Do not flash on flat S7 or Qualcomm models!

    WARNING #1: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
    You generally don't have to worry, as it's incredibly hard to brick a Samsung device, and physical damage warranties should be exempt from Knox triggering.

    WARNING #2: The Galaxy S7 stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
    SOLUTION: Follow the full rooting steps below, in order, to allow system modifications without the risk of a boot loop!

    WHAT IS TWRP?

    Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
    In case you're serious, though...

    Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
    It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

    DOWNLOAD

    You can find the device page here:
    http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys7edge.html

    There is a download link there, as well as instructions on how to flash it.

    I highly recommend using Odin to flash when possible.
    You can find a zip containing Odin as well as Samsung's Mobile drivers here:
    https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/

    FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT

    You can follow this video by Max Lee if you'd like: How to Root Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge! [Exynos ONLY]
    Otherwise, follow these instructions:

    1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
      Transparent.gif
    2. Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
      You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
      Transparent.gif
    3. Extract Odin_3.12.3.zip to your computer.
      Transparent.gif
    4. Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
      Transparent.gif
    5. Download a .tar image of TWRP for hero2lte.
      Transparent.gif
    6. Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons while your device reboots.
      Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
      Transparent.gif
    7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot, then press [Start].
      Transparent.gif
    8. Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap to [Volume Up] when the screen blanks.
      If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again from step 6.
      Transparent.gif
    9. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
      By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
      If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
      Transparent.gif
    10. If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
      Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
      Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
      You will need an external SDcard for this method, if you don't have one you will have to use adb sideload to install SuperSU.

      If you only want a bootable system partition:
      Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip.
      Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
      Note: This does not disable the forced encryption on Bxxx firmware, only Axxx firmware due to a change in vold by Samsung.
      Transparent.gif
    11. Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
      Transparent.gif
    12. Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
    * MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

    Hey guys :) :highfive:

    Some may know me, some probably not. It's not important who I am BUT I found that our device tree for TWRP builds is damn outdated (based on MM).

    I don't know if you faced this issue already, but some people couldn't mount /data partition in TWRP even though they removed encryption. Why this happens?

    Explanation:
    Samsung added quota support in their oreo update for the /data partition. Means a TWRP update with proper quota support is needed to get this new feature to work. Till now, many developer simply disabled this feature again on their kernels (so they can mount /data without issues on the old TWRP).

    What I did:
    I updated the tree with the latest files, kernels and so on. Including the above mentioned quota support.

    This TWRP version works on stock and supported oreo kernels. Older kernels (which removed quota to fix mounting problems) won't work here. Please advice your kernel developer to update his kernel with the changes :good:

    If you have a G935P, G935V, G935R, or G935A (aka the US Snapdragon models) your bootloader is locked. I will not be making TWRP for your device - it simply cannot happen. Sorry.
    Update: G935T users can expect TWRP for their devices as soon as T-Mobile convinces Samsung to unlock the bootloader - I already have a fully complete working build ready.

    You know who you can blame?

    THE DONALD!~~~~~~~~~~~~
    or Obama, I dunno, blaming Obama is getting kind of old guys, sorry.

    I will need someone to verify if features are working as this was just a copy paste of the herolte (non-Edge) device tree.
    Mainly expecting brightness slider to not work, so please if things don't work, join #twrp on freenode and talk to me.
