[RECOVERY][TWRP 3.4.0.0] Galaxy Note 7 Fan edition [N935F/FD/S/L/K]

[ananjaser1211]

Unofficial TWRP 3.4.0.0 For Galaxy note 7 FE (N935X)​

Disclaimer:
I do not own this device, however i work on the S7/S7E and there was enough requests for a FE support. so here we are.
This TWRP has been tested on 2 devices so far, it fixes mounting issues, and is based on new device trees. This should pave the way for other S7 developers to join in and add support to the FE since its not that difficult.

My custom kernel (Cronos) and Floyd Q Rom will make it to this thread once they are validated more.

Thanks to @butchieboy and Đỗ Gia Huy for testing

Also moving forward with this thread, you take full responsibility of any modifications done towards your device.

Features: :

- built from latest Pie source
- built from android-9.0 recovery sources
- fully compatible with Android 8.*/9.0/10.0
- Full F2FS Support for data and cache
- Full support for FLoydQ ROM
- Built with Busybox and resetprop

Downloads:
N935X (N935F/FD/S/L/K) : Download

Instructions:
Odin

1. Download latest Odin zip from Here
2. Download and install Samsung Drivers (if you have them installed you can skip this step)
3. Go to settings/Developer options and enable OEM unlock (If you don't see developer settings, go into Settings/About phone/Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show Developer options menu)
4. Download TWRP_*.tar
5. Switch off the phone
6. Use Home + Volume down + Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
7. Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
8. Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab
9. Click Start
10. When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in your hands, disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the Home + Volume down + power until the Download mode pop-up shows
11. Press volume DOWN (so the phone reboots) then quickly press Home + VolumeUp + Power until the TWRP screen shows up
12. If it didn`t worked, redo the steps from #1 being more careful. and faster

TWRP (If you have a previous twrp installed)

• Download TWRP_*.img, push it into phone storage (or external sdcard if thats not avalible), choose install image in your current recovery, navigate to downloaded *.img file, select it, select to flash as recovery.

After booting in TWRP download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip to disable data partition encryption
If for any reason you fail to install TWRP multiple times/different methods due to RMM Lock / KG State, make sure you check this thread

Rooting and Internal Storage:

Finally, if you want to be able to read/write to the internal storage, you must format it to clear encryption, take a backup of your stuff before hand.

Go to TWRP > Wipe > Format Data > Type YES.
your data is now usable. if you didnt flash noverity-opt-encrypt or MagiskRoot your data will be encrypted again.

If you want to root your device now, simply download the latest magisk and flash it in your new recovery.

F.A.Q
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.

Q: Can,t find OEM Toggle, RMM Locked
A : Read this thread

Q: How to format data partition?
A:

Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Make sure you have the latest samsung stock firmware installed (to be on latest bootloader and modem combo)

Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

Q: How to Use F2FS ?
A : This requires you to be on Floyd ROM and the latest FE CronosKernel build. otherwise you wont be able to boot. Follow these steps
1) Wipe > advanced wipe > Data > CHANGE > F2FS (Your entire internal storage will be wiped out!)
2) Reboot and you will have DATA as F2FS, the same can be done to CACHE as well. Do not do it to SYSTEM

P.S : Again, make sure BOTH your ROM and KERNEL support F2FS.

TWRP-3.4.0.0-gracerlte-20200625

TWRP-3.4.0.0-gracerlte-20200625

* Fix error in SAR disable script (Fixes installing android 9 roms while 10 is installed)
* include resetprop (required for SAR script)
* Add custom TWRP Ver Name

Download : Github

This should fix the error reported above, and fix installing Pie roms while having 10 installed.

Could you try to flash a pie rom while having my Q rom installed ?

the script is there to change /system_root mount point back to /system . which is due to recent TWRP changes

i think the script is erroring due to line endings, but im not sure. let me know if the ROM flashed.

for System backup always use the system image format while dealing with android 10. ill update you if twrp pushes any more updates to this

 

[butchieboy]

The only Pie roms that we had for FE caused major issues. Not sure if anyone even uses them there was 1 I think. Developer threw a rom together that would throw malware on your device, lock it up and made device unusable then vanished without fixing anything. So not sure if anything is out there and really don't want to update my bootloader.

So now you can use the same kernel from Q on pie ROMs if you choose so.
