I backup to internal (then have to move to external to see it when restoring back up), when I try to restore backup, it shows no folders or anything at all internally, but if Im going to back up or select zip to flash, it shows folders and such. So even when I backup internally, then hit restore, nothing is there, it does show how much storage is left internally

Not sure what going on.
If you can backup to internal storage but not restore, yet you can move the backup from internal storage to external storage an restore it may be an issue with twrp not reading the internal backup ( Yet it will perform an internal backup ).
Have you tried reinstalling twrp. Either the same one or one or two version down from 3.3.1.0
You can just flash the .img file in twrp (no other steps required ) and reboot.
flashed twrp phone went into bootloop. I formatted with twrp flashed magisk etc. in twrp im getting Failed to mount '/preload (invalid argument)
i have root and phone seems to be working normally other than the preload problem. What can i do to fix?

They are a few people having issues with preload with latest twrp version ( 3.3.1-1 ).
Maybe try:
Mount preload in Mount menu
Wipe menu - advance wipe - select preload partition - swipe to wipe
Early version of twrp

I tried to mount preload in Mount Menu but it wouldn't select so I moved on to wipe menu, advanced, and here it allowed me to select preload partition and continued on per instruction and swiped to wipe. Rebooted to Recovery to test if I could select preload in Mount Menu and sure enough I could. No more preload error. Thanks!!
I have not yet, Im a little hesitant, to at least downgrade as one I've had no issues before with 3.3.1.0 until this particular flash upgrading over 3.2.1.0 which was causing issues due I think to bootloader), the reason I was in this position where I had to start over and install twrp again was I tried to downgrade from 3.3.1.1 to 3.3.1.0 due to issues with it and just flashed 3.3.1.1, rebooted to twrp and got a bootloop, guess it could be issues with 3.3.1.1. and not so much me trying to downgrade. I may try when I have time on my hands in case something bad happens, but at the moment its just a minor inconvenience when I upgrade roms
I ended up flashing back to stock firmware in order to take the latest security update and rooted again.
The original attempt at rooting I ended up having to resolve preload error in TWRP. This time i followed directions EXACTLY as its written.
First attempt i didnt hold volume up+bixby+power before hitting start in odin. I did uncheck auto reboot, holding the button combination after complete.
This time i pressed volume up+bixby+power, immediately hit start in odin and wouldn't you know it i have no Preload error.
I used the exact same twrp download from first attempt and have no errors. Im assuming maybe the preload error is from not following directions exactly as they are written or missing a step somewhere else along the way.

Assuming that
1. That you unlocked your bootloader in developer options
2. Depending on what version you have that your rmm/kg state is showing normal(or disappeared)/checking. You can check in download mode.
Try Odin 3.13.1 or higher ( you log says 3.12.3 )
You need to flash the .img.tar file in the AP section of Odin only to install twrp.
Not sure what you trying to doing in BL section of Odin.

Please help thanks
Can you post/copy your download (Odin) screen?
And what method are you using to flash twrp
Are you flashing the .img.tar file ( not the .img file )
Hi,
Thanks for the help. Already solve the problem. Got my original firmware from samsung to my original country ( PH ). I used FRIJA to dl the firmware. Thanks also to my friend to solve this problem
my phone working again.
Hi guys,
Since Niantic decided to make more much crap with PoGo, their are blocking users with TWRP and FoxRecovery, by detecting it, it seems not related to the twrp folder or the .twrps file, because i deleted my whole twrp folder, deleted pogo's app datas, and the blocking still persist.
any workaround for that ? because Niantic is really annoying with those stupid acts...
have a nice day. o/

Hi , I need some help . I use this software : odin3_v3.13.1, twrp-3.3.1-0-dreamlte.img, no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 , Magisk-v20.3
I use tutorial from post 3 , everything goes well but after this step:
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
I have some errors
Later i install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 and Magisk-v20.3 ,I have root ,everyhing works good but after restart I have error : only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed
After this error phone shuts down, twrp is not working , download mode works so I installed stock Android 9
What am I doing wrong ?
I have to use this file "RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2" ?
Thank you for help , I installed before in other Galaxy phones (S4,S6) root ,twrp , xposed etc. but S8 is complicated...

the latest version of magisk is not installed by recovery. you have to patch the kernel img, flash it and install magisk install manually.
Do i need to uninstall twrp 3.3.1-1 first?
Or just run odin again and install 3.3.1-0?

Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
