[afaneh92]

Hello ,
Is version twrp-3.6.0_11-6_afaneh92-r8q.tar compatible with android 12 . I installed version 12 and I dare not install the latest twrp on it. Thank you for your answers.

yes should be ok

 

[Full House]

I confirm it works perfectly on OneUi4, the only thing that we are terribly missing is access to the SD card, hope that one day @afaneh92 can fix it ...

Je confirme cela fonctionne parfaitement sur OneUi4 , la seule chose qui nous manque terriblement c'est l'accès à la carte SD , espérons qu'un jour @afaneh92 pourra le réparer...

2. Should I download the other files as listed on the website (vbmeta_disabled.tar/multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip)? Do I have to look for these files in the 4G version?

3. Will I lose my phone data after uploading TWRP and ROOT?

4. Do I have to download a universal version of the magisk or a special one for this phone?

5. Is the same changelog for twrp 4g and 5g?

Thanks for helping me

@mayster as you have said your phone is a SM-G780G/DS that means it has a snapdragon chip, you should use the thread for the r8q version.

use the files linked in the thread.
your data will be completely wiped 3 times in the process of flashing TWRP. backup!!

Whoever asks does not err! Good that I asked you because I would lose all my data. Thanks for the help!
Coming back to the magisk program - can I download the universal version of this program from the website:

Downloading Magisk App... | Magisk Manager

The download will automatically start in 5 seconds, please click here to access the download URL directly. If you are confused and want to know how to install the Magisk Manager on your phone you can click here.

magiskmanager.com

or do I need a special version dedicated to Samsung?
(I used to have Xiaomi and there were reworked, dedicated magisk versions. That's why I ask)

if you want to flash magisk thru TWRP then get the zip file for magisk v21.4 zip and the manager app version 8.0.7

on github click on assets under the listing/changelog. the manager should be just under the zip listing.

I'm stuck.
I completed points 1 to 4. I uploaded the following files via ODIN: vbmeta_disabled.tar and twrp-3.6.0_11-6_afaneh92-r8q.tar
Now I'm trying to enter RECOVERY MODE to upload multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip and Magisk-23.0.zip - unfortunately I can't enter RECOVERY MODE. I turn off the phone and then turn it on by holding VOL + and POWER.

The following information appears on the screen:
"The phone bootloader is unlocked ....
press POWER KEY to continue "

later the following information appears:
"SAMSUNG S20 FE
The phone is not running Samsung official software ... "

And then Android starts up normally.

How to enter RECOVERY MODE? What am I doing wrong?

I turned off the phone. I connected my phone to my computer with a USB cable. The screen shows that the phone is charging as a percentage. Then I pressed VOL + and the POWER KEY. I have entered RECOVERY MODE which looks like in the attached photo. There is no possibility to install ZIP files there (multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip and Magisk-23.0.zip). REVOCERY MODE doesn't look like TWRP.
I'm doing something wrong ...

I found a solution. Immediately after installing TWRP, disconnect the USB cable and press VOL- and POWER. When the phone turns off, quickly connect the USB cable and press VOL + and POWER. Then we will enter TWRP.
The rest was easy.

Thank you for your help and my regards

Hello,

after many tries, the solution from mayster works ...


old:

I have a g780g and followed your guide. When I want to enter TWRP (step 5) with the key combo vol up + power it will enter the stock android recovery. Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks for helping me

Hi, finally Magisk rooted on my new SM-G780G (S20FE-4G) and changed CSC from XEC to BTU with Phone info +
I followed those instructions on this video : How to root the Samsung Galaxy S20 series

Don't know why it's written in OP that you need to flash "vbmeta_disabled.tar" in "AP".
From the tutorial it's in "USERDATA" and don't need to press any button after flashing just wait the double reboot to recovery ("Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" enabled in Odin options).
After the reboot in the tutorial he reboots directly to download mode. Me I finished the setup since it was the last factory reset.

I will not install TWRP for the moment since I have trouble to reboot from download mode to recovery.
(I tried also ADB fastboot command with "boot.img" file but it's not working)

Cheers.

Hi @Svan987
I have the same model SM-780G (S20FE-4G) and I have the same problem rebooting in the TWRP custom recovery after succesfully flashing it with Odin. I have tried numerous times, but pressing the Volume UP + Power will not put the phone in the recovery mode. It just boot up into system...

I really do not understand how fast we need to be to press at the exact moment the recovery key combo.
Too bad the One UI room doesn't have an Advanced Restart option when pressing the power button, in which we could select: Normal Restart, Recovery, Bootloader, Download Mode, just like some custom rooms have (e.g.: Ressurection Remix).

I'm in the exact situation as you, mate.
Same SM-780G (S20FE-4G), and the unexplained inability to reboot into TWRP recovery, no matter how many tries I did to reboot using the indicate Vol Up + Power key combination.

Bravo, clever move!
It seems that inserting the power cable after powering on the phone (after the TWRP flash) + the recovery combo keys managed to boot into the TWRP recovery.
