Unofficial release -TWRP recovery for the Samsung Galaxy J2 PRO 2018 - Qualcom msm8917
THIS FOR FIRMWARE BASED ON "ARD3" OR "ARD*" . SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR FIRMWARE IS "ARD3 OR "ARD*" :
Current status: BETA
Features:
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
system Image backup and flashing support
efs backup support
WHATEVER YOU DO BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING WITH TWRP MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE WITH TWRP AND HAVE THE STOCK FIRMWARE TO HAND JUST IN CASE DOWNLOADED FROM SAMMOBILE OR UPDATO.
THIS WILL TRIP KNOX AND MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
Instructions:
(Note: failure to follow these instructions implicitly will cause TWRP to be replaced by stock recovery at boot!)
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0/7.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
Download:
recovery.tar.md5 For J250f
IMPORTANT! This device enforces dm-verity. ANY modifications or even mounting system will put the device into a bootloop. To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then SuperSU or the boot patch needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.
To Root:
Flash the latest magisk with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
This device forces encryption.
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity you must flash the boot patcher below:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install magisk (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patcher
no-verity-no-encrypt-5.1
DEVICE TREE: soon
