Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.

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.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.) (for the moment not working)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/". (for the moment not working)
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.

Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
1. Download the flashable zip.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

Part 3a - HOW-TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
1. Download the flashable zip.
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Simple.

Hello. Just wanted to double-check before doing this guide, since I read a few pages back and a couple of posts have noted it's age and minor differences. Is there any major changes or does the OP still hold up fine? I saw the updated .tar posted a few pages back, so I assume I should use that. I also saw the post about doing the key-combo after the flash instead of during. So...basically just wondering-

#1. Can I still follow the OP, aside from using the newer .tar posted on Page 76?

#2. Is Part 2 of the OP still necessary? I'll be receiving a used Note 8 soon, likely factory-reset by the previous owner.

Any input would be appreciated.

2) Flash the latest version of twrp from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/recovery-galaxy-note-8-t3832962
Twrp 3.2.3-0

Is the latest official version of twrp for our device with the /data partition fix implemented

Hello, I can't format data in twrp. I get :
failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
unable to wipe data.
updating partition details...
failed to mount '/data'(invalid argument)
failed to mount '/preload'(invalid argument)

unable to mount storage
Is there someone who know howto inforce wiping this partition please ?
Edit : I found a way !
I will explain with my best english if someone need it:
in TWRP go to wipe then choose the partition makes you angry (in my case DATA) and press "repair or change File system"
then i choose "change file system" choose one of FS in the list wait about 1s and it's done you can now format this partition ! Enjoy
