I guess so, seeing how this is TWRP recovery for the A40 (SM-A405FN), and I have the Exynos variant.

YES! Thank you so much! Worked like a charm! I now have it installed, but sadly there is now a new problem.
It says that I need to root with Magisk to prevent it from being removed. Now, I would normally make a thread about this, but I don't have enough posts.
Anyways, I tried rooting with Magisk with a video I found on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHBDF9ErLkw&t=217s). I was unable to get it into download mode, am I missing something?

EDIT: Will try some other methods as well.
EDIT: Got it working! Thank you very much, fellow Scandinavian!

I got it installed, but everytime I try to flash disable DM-Verity it just goes into a bootloop. Here is what I did:

1. Formatted the system after installing TWRP
2. Installing it again
3. Booting into TWRP and clicking install and then choosing the disable DM-Verity zip file.
4. When it is finished, I boot back into system

Then there is a boot-loop that just continues. Turns on, gets past the first screen, then turns off again.
Is there a way to disable DM-Verity another way, or am I just doing it wrong?
I heard that flashing SuperSU or Magisk could also do this, is that right?

Have mercy .. But is it normal that after the flash of this Twrp version, the NFC icon will no longer turn off? I use a stock rom and only flashed the multidisabler.

Is there someone with the October's update installed (A405FNXXU2ASJ1) that could test this new version I built?
Download here.

This was built from source using the kernel source files from Samsung's Open Source platform and TWRP's repo.
Thank you!

Yeah this works wondering. Was able to flash it with no problems.

I hope I'm not too late but I'm sure I can help you. first, you'll loose all off your data.

1. make sure you charged your phone for a while
2. while the phone is starting, press all three buttons at the same time (power + vol up + vol down). If you see a black screen, quickly release and press only vol up + vol down.
3. your phone should start in Download Mode. If the phone wants you to confirm, press vol up
4. download the firmware for your phone. It depends on the model number you have for your a40, but you should be able to download your Samsung firmware from sammobile . com . just type in your model number and download the firmware. you need a dammobile account to do that and the download will be very slow so you have to wait.
5. If you downloaded the .zip file, extract it using 7zip or any zip extracting tool. You should now have files beginning with BL, AP, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC.
6. now open odin. if you haven't downloaded it yet, just google: odin 3
7. connect your phone to the computer. select the BL button and open the BL file. then tap AP button and select the AP file. do the same for CP and CSC (important: if you pressed the CSC button, you have to select the HOME_CSC file!)
8. if you selected all 4 files, tap start.
9. the process may take a few minutes. If odin says "PASS!", you're almost done. you should be able to boot the phone. there may be warning that the phone wasn't able to boot (that's normal!). Just select the option "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm with yes using the power button to confirm and the vol up / vol down button to select.
10. your phone should start normally and you have to start the setup process.

I hope I was able to help you. If not, contact me and we will be able to solve the problem together.

It works with the firmware of december?

 

[xeroin82]

On December firmware (SK2) it works, but NFC always stays on

I had problems with nfc not turning on earlier, when I flashed multidisabler.
Last time I updated and re-rooted (still on october patch) I used only dm-verity/forced encryption disabler and nfc is working fine after that.

 

[xeroin82]

I solved it with nfc. Once rooted, I flashed twrp by deleting the internal memory then I restarted in recovery and deleted data and cache without flashing any files (original rom use). Now it works best.

I flashed dm verity, and as after installing the recovery everything started on the second restart. Thank you

I Didn't noticed that before Reading you.
And right, same issue about NFC ..
The button wasn't usable.
And i noticed another issue with smart Switch.
I think it's not fully compatible sj1 with sk2

No option for A40 in TWRP App

Hello,

I followed all your instructions. Thank you for posting this!
I updated the TWRP stub app that was installed to the OS, but when I start it, it asks to choose which phone I have, of course the A40 is not in the list. Any suggestions?

 

[hpolimar]

i was able to root phone only using magisk. but it resized the phone to 8gb. so i started to try to install twrp so i could be able to format data partition and root the phone, but i am not able to enter recovery once i flash twrp, both on offical firmware then on magisk patched one. it just goes on bootloop

 

[Deleted member 10377367]

I suddenly get error 255 when I try to make a backup. What is that about? Didn't happen before. Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/qcZEUqeW

 

[bartsam]

Hi there,
I think there is another issue visible after twrp/root - a40's storage and also uSD card is probably in read-only mode, so it's not possible copy files from PC to phone over the USB-C cable.
Or may be there is a workaround or a fix?
Regards!
