[Recovery][15.03.18][3.2.1-1][SM-G960F/FD/N] TWRP starlte

[Tkkg1994]

ONLY FOR EXYNOS MODELS (SM-G960F/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

Will you bring your dev base to the S9 too?

Flashing TWRP and booting into it works fine, thank's for your work!
But then i tried flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip but after that i'm stuck in boot loop...

 

[_alexndr]

Will you bring your dev base to the S9 too?

Yes (no ETA but work in progress)

 

[Tkkg1994]

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!

Root Galaxy S9

How can I root s9?
Can I flash "Magisk " or super SU to root after Flashing TWRP to root?
If someone has tried please tell me.

There's already a small update for this TWRP:

- Added omc partition to the mount table [...]

I hope CSC partition it is mounted as /odm (as in case of booted Android), to avoid confusion because exact CSC location is /odm (e.g. exact path to omc directory is /odm/omc)

I'm asking because I can't test it myself... (yet)

EDIT: Never mind @Tkkg1994, I just answered myself

/odm | /dev/block/sda20 | Size: 611MB Used: 490MB Free: 120MB Backup Size: 490MB

For me Magisk ends in boot loop and superSU simply does nothing.

 

[Paradoxxx]

Anyone tried Treble imgs yet ?

Have you tried following scenario?

1. Flash pre-patched kernel mentioned in post #11
2. Flash Magisk v16.1

Question: the recovery i need to flash via the AP tab in Odin, but how do flash the patched stock boot.img? And how do i flash it into the boot partition?
Its not really well explained above here and i don't want to brick a phone of almost 1000 euro's
