You can see the new version's changelog, nothing new was stated about decryption, some phones have a modified TWRP that allows decrypting via an inserted password.

There's a command line for decrypting, but it doesn't seem to work, at least not for this device.

There's a reason why dm-verity exist, to prevent automated encryption, cause TWRP cannot mount encrypted partitions.

Will encryption work with lineageos recovery? if yes how i can build lineageos recovery for herolte?

I have installed custom rom and I tried magisk and supersu but I can't install them.How to root? Supersu while installing: extracting ramdisk ; aborting failure

This worked great! Don't neglect to do the dm-verity disabler step or your phone will be stuck at the Samsung boot logo after flashing TWRP!

Would someone here be able to tell me how to install TWRP on my s7 Exynos, Oreo rooted magisk 21.4. I'd like to do a nandroid full backup before trying to update to v22. TIA

How do you have installed Magisk without a custom recovery ?

Installed v 21.4 according GitHub manual. It went without any problem. Did not need TWRP for installing Magisk. Just like to install it now for nandroid backup

You need to flash TWRP with Odin, you need Odin, Samsung USB drivers, and an USB cable.
See FP for detailed instructions.
Be aware that you will need to format data partition, if you don't do it, you will not be able to do a nandroid backup, so right now, your plan will not be possible.

What's the problem with Magisk 22 anyway ? just unhide the manager (if you hide it in the first place) before upgrading and everything will be fine.

Thanks!
I have used TWRP recovery on previous occasions. This time round I just chose Magisk and not thinking further.
Have you updated to V22 as you seem to be very confident that there won't be any hickups?

To be able to root, and install TWRP, you need to unlock the bootloader, and this will wipe all data.
To be able to use TWRP, you need to format /data, that will also wipe all the data (obviously).

Ok
What version and metod for root acces is most up to date
And can i make backup with snart switch and then after the root restore it on the phone

 

[jbs68]

Yes, you can make a backup of your phone with SmartSwitch or you can just use your Google account.
And yes, you can restore it after root.

I'm getting RQT_CLOSE errors whenever I try to flash this to my S7 Edge. Any way to fix that?

 

[darkangel32]

I have a S7 flat exynos, its charging port doesnt work anymore, but the microsd slot seems to function. The phone is on 8.0 stock samsung firmware, latest update to 2020 security patch cant be applied (error, cant be fixed). Now my question is if its possible to unlock its bootloader/root and/or flash a custom rom using the microsd card slot?

Was thinking to use one of these oneclick root apps, and then use an app that supposedly can load recovery, and finally flash using the sd card.
Problem is, i cant seem to find any oneclick apps that can root this phone. Tried kingroot, kingoroot etc etc but none can root the device.

HELP! VERIFICATION FAILED! (if this post is wrong here, sry im new)

I´m very new to all this tech stuff, also to this site and am learning while researching aka im a fkn noob ._.

for the first time ever i tried to root a phone (since i deleted personal data and heard it can be saved through recovery programs, if they have root access) my Galaxy S7 SM-930F with (CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.tar.md5) using odin (and made all the mistakes possible, i guess).
Rebooting my phone i got the "Verification failed. Unable to restart your device. The Integrity Verification failed. Yor need to reset your device to factory settings. This will delete all your data." message and cant access my phone. I have no backup of my personal data and apps (bc im a fkn idiot) and really dont want to lose all of it.
From what i seem to know now the message im getting is a security system to prevent modifications on the phone, so it freezes and forces to factory reset to get rid of potentially harmful software.

At first i tried to flash the stock rom back, downloaded from sammobile (Oreo, i hope it was the system i had before, i dont know sadly). im from germany, so i chose the DBT version (G930FXXU8ETI2_G930FDBT8ETI2_DBT). i used home-csc hoping to keep my personal data.
Odin worked, but i still get the same message forcing me too factory reset. i tried with second oldest version (G930FXXS8ETC6_G930FDBT8ETC1_DBT), also no change.
(in recovery mode at the bottom it says "Successfully verified dmverity hash tree", i think thats good).

i opened the phone, disconnected the battery and rebooted after a few minutes (im desperate here, but apparently for someone else it worked).
i wiped the partition chache in the phones recovery mode. no change

next i flashed twrp (twrp-3.5.2_9-0-herolte.img.tar) through the AP box in odin on the phone (turned of auto reboot). i was able to get to the twrp menu through recovery mode.
then i put the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip" on an sd-card and installied it though the twrp menu (i unchecked the "skip digest check before installing zip", if that helps here). from the jibberish on the screen it seemed to have failed to install (i think).
(One source also mentioned "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip". i dont know whats the difference to the above, but i thought id mention it here too.)

After rebooting, same message.
I havent wiped my phone yet. there are 2 options in twrp "advanced wipe" and "format data" (where you need to type yes). i dont know whether advanced wipe does something different, some sources say it only affects the system, not personal data and settings, but i afraid to do it.
also, twrp shows 0mb on my internal storage. but one source says that it cant read it so it only shows as 0mb. i hope thats true and my stuff isnt wiped already.
EDIT: I tried the advanced wipe options on everything except internal storage, it failed.

Many of the tutorials and solutions i found to far seem to conflict or to be outdated. apparently cf autoroot is outdated too, good to know . Since im a noob, i dont know what to trust here.

I havent tried supersu or migisk before (also dont know what they are, but they got mentioned several times).

At this point i dont really want to root anymore or move on, bc im afraid to completely mess it up. i just want to get access to my data and make a backup before i try rooting again (like someone who seems to know what they´re doing, you know).

Is there any way i can save my data here or maybe even finish the root without losing everything? pls help and thx in adavance!
