i have never tried in nougat

i have never tried in nougat

I've had it in Nougat and flashed stock SER Oreo without affecting TWRP.

Not sure what I can do really but I'll get back to you with suggestions. In the meantime, make sure you have a brand new copy of the latest TWRP (delete what you already have and redownload to ensure you're working with absolutely clean files).

Hi. Been a little busy with family, sorry I've not been in touch.

Okay. You have fresh files all ready.

Open up Odin.
Connect phone via USB. Reboot into download mode.
Before you flash the recovery, untick the Auto Reboot option
Tap AF and load up the new TWRP file
Flash the recovery and when complete, unplug USB and reboot into recovery by pressing Home+Volume Up+Power[/QUOTE]

If you don't see any zip or .img file, the problem is that your device is encrypted. To remove that go to Twrp Recovery > Wipe > Format Data and type "yes". Your data should be now decrypted but if you boot into ROM it will automatically encrypt your files (Samsung security logic). So make sure to have this; https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip already downloaded to your SD Card. (Make sure to flash this file INSIDE Twrp only after formating your data. IT'S NOT AN ODIN FLASHABLE FILE! And I say only after formating your data because you can't just flash it, Twrp only has access to mount the data after a format). This will decrypt for sure your phone and then you will have the ability to flash anything via Twrp! But keep in mind that if you reflash the firmware via Odin and install again any Twrp you have to to the steps again, ah, what a pain! I hope I helped you out .

You may mean AP, not AF .

Thank you - simple typo

Your TWRP is not working without "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip". Iflashed it through odin. Made backup and now im stuck with samsung logo. Just so i can use Lineage OS. Thank you.

You have to flash that file inside Twrp, not Odin :laugh:. But first so you will be able to flash that you have to follow this post; https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/recovery-sm-a520f-2017-t3759214/post76299176 .

Oh... So you flashed a new bootloader. That's not good. You got RMM Stagerenormal.

For those who already read it, I have added some extra lines so you understand everything.

He said he had TWRP but it vanished. I assumed wiped by error somehow.

We'll await his reply.

thanks for your support
before I often make modifications ROM from the era of S3 mini until J5 2016 and all goes as I let
end of december 2017 i changed my device from j5 2016 to A5 2017 and until yesterday i have never modified my 2015 A5 device
until finally I replace NOUGAT region indonesia (ori) to OREO region SER

all the suggestions from you and what I have learned I have tried but nothing works
and that confuses me why can not I delete data through TRWP?
even i can not see the file in SD CARD
but I can see the external SD CARD file as usual
and strangely the TRWP I installed will be lost when my device is rebooted or restarted
I feel very stupid
Please help me
I have to learn a lot from you guys
:crying: :crying: :crying:

Okay. Don't feel stupid. We all started somewhere.

Sounds like your data is encrypted and you need to decrypt it before proceeding.

So...

1. at the moment you have no TWRP? Please confirm
2. Boot phone as normal
3. Go to settings and in developer options there should be a switch "OEM unlock"
4. Reboot phone into download mode. Volume up to proceed. Copy down what you see written in the top left corner of the screen.
5. Let us know what us displayed.
