[riddle13]

just flashed twrp when I want to enter it the phone get a bootloop. I need to flash the disabler to bring the phone to life. While flashing twrp should I uncheck the autoreboot option?

yeah it makes it a little bit easier, it's better if you've got control of the reboot.
leave it plugged in in download mode, hold power and volume down for 7 plus seconds. when the phone reboots you'll hear the windows disconnected sound, immediately switch to volume up and power until it boots into recovery.

This exactly what I do and the phone gets the loop and it does not boot into the system either. I will keep trying.

the phone should either boot into TWRP, boot into stock recovery or boot into system. if it's bootlooping something else is wrong and you should flash stock and start again if it carries on happening once you've let go.
bare in mind you have 2 extra screens at start up now, even for recovery. that threw me off to begin with.

I read some info on this thread about keeping data encrypted but still have some doubts. Can you enlighten me on this?

- If I choose to keep encryption on, TWRP won't be able to access individual file contents for backup/restore or even flashing onto the /data partition. But flashing or backup/restore of other partitions is possible with OTG storage.
- Are "full partition" backups of /data itself possible onto an external OTG storage? And working restore of course

Apart from these encryption limitations, any known issues with the recent builds of android 11?


(my device is the 4G version (G780F/DS) but there is no big reference in its thread about the encryption implications and the TWRP features should be the same)

Thanks!

I also have that model, did it work?
I want to be rooted but my model is the 780G / DS Snapdragon 4G version.

I tried to do a backup on the SM-G780G (super, prism, optics, boot) and I got a "failed" message at the end of the backup. Can not see any files in "File Manager" --> "usb-otg". But when doing an install can see files.

@afaneh92 : please can you add our model to the build would be great.

@Svan987 some of those partitions really don't need backing up as they never be over written. I had a similar issue because the flash drive I used was formatted to VFAT which has a maximum file size of 4gb. backup anything you need off the drive and format it too Ext4 or something else that'll take the bigger files.

Thanx a lot so nuts i was with system files fat32. Just did bakcup of "super" with usb-otg formatted with exFat format. Thanx a lot.

I mounted "system" and trying to delete a directory in "system/system_ext/priv-app/" : process ended with ERROR: 1. Is it a bug or there is way to change permissions and delete files ?

If i do this, in my phone will not work anymore biometric and face recognition??

 

[3mel]

fingerprint works fine, I've never heard of anyone saying face unlock doesn't work but I don't use that.
as long as you stay on Samsung firmware everything should work.

I managed to pass for a while but google regularly makes fixes for those that bypass safetynet.

Guys think that now that john.whu (the dev of Magisk) is working in the security section of Google it's going to be harder and harder to get around safetynet...
