[Recovery][Exynos] Official TWRP for Galaxy S7 (herolte)

- Start date
btw anyone here wanna try flashing this on G900FD? i have no idea if they use the same kernels/tree/hardware
not for a long time I'd imagine. just disable encryption (copy your things to pc from rom and format data in twrp with a custom kernel) and you will be able to back up and restore or flash whatever you want.
Hi,
Sorry this is my first Samsung Device G935F.
Will someone be so kind as to explain this root process in steps.
How would i flash the recovery in the first place without root?
Is there a modified kernel that must be flashed then SuperSU after wiping ?

This isnt the right place for the G935F. -> Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
U flashed a recovery designed only for the G930F on a G935F, what did u expect? This isnt the right place for your modell. U can try to open a thread in the right place and ask for help.I flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-herolte.tar.md5 on my 935F S7 edge international model.

Sorry to ask stupid questions but I don't know the answers so I'll ask anyway.
I've been rooting and using twrp for years but can't think what you mean by "swipe to enable system modifications" . Is that an option in twrp as I can't think of it.
Is this for G930f. I don't know the codename of my phone yet - only model number.

Any hope for a tree for G930V (Verizon)?For those of you with G930FD, G930T, G930W8, G930P....be patient, I'm waiting for Samsung to release the kernel sources. The trees are already ready, just waiting on kernels...
Flash G930P (exact same hardware) when it's up, if it works you've performed a miracle by having an OPEN Verizon device!
Otherwise, I don't think it could ever happen.

171Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-4
This is for the International SM-G930F/FD/X, Korean SM-G930K/L/S, and Canadian SM-G930W8 Exynos models only! Do not flash on S7 edge 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:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys7.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:
- In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
- 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.
- Extract Odin_3.12.3.zip to your computer.
- Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
- Download a .tar image of TWRP for herolte.
- 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.
- Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot, then press [Start].
- Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap [Volume Down] to [Volume Up] (continuing to hold [Home] + [Power]) when the screen blanks.
If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again from step 6.
- 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.
- 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.
- Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
- Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.

Last Updated 2019-01-16103Hey 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:
Download:
Img file (flash via TWRP)
tar.md5 file (flash via odin)41If you have a G930P, G930V, G930R, or G930A (aka the US Snapdragon models) your bootloader is locked. I will not be making TWRP for your device - it simply cannot happen. Sorry.
Update: G930T 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.223.3.0-1 from ivan's 8.1 sources
Changelog from 3.3.0-0:
Remove force quota and fix encryption on aosp
twrp-3.3.0-1-herolte.img
twrp-3.3.0-1-herolte.tar
twrp-3.3.0-1-hero2lte.img
twrp-3.3.0-1-hero2lte.tar
The official sources are getting old by now, so ivan rebuilt the herolte and hero2lte device trees. - In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
