Hello again. I am able to get it working, but after flashing a ROM (Clean OS), I encounter the error Failed to mount '/system_root' (Invalid argument). I tried rebooting to recovery, but the error persists that I cannot mount /system.

Make sure you are flashing correct twrp r8q and follow all instructions.

Thank you for your quick reply. Am I supposed to flash Magisk after multidisabler even if I would be installing another ROM?

After typing multidisabler in the terminal, I rebooted to recovery and flashed the ROM, and consequently encountered the issue.

What rom! If gsi then flash to system not super
Magisk is not necessary.
Its not my problem that you cant flash roms properly and next time add this details. Even if its not supposed to explain how to flash since its twrp thread not rom thread.

I understand. Thank you very much for your assistance, and apologies for going off-topic.

EDIT: I have narrowed down the issue to the ROM itself. I was able to install Magisk and use the recovery successfully.

Hello,
I know that it is forbidden to ask about Supported Models, by the TWRP/ Root present in this thread, because it is already stipulated on the main page of the thread.
Is there a way to know, from the system, if any of the said model are Bootloader Locked or not??? why?
I finally have the possibility to get a S20 FE 5G, model SM-G781N, and I would like to know before to buy it, if I will be able to Root it.
I am going to get it from a local store, so I want to know from the system if it is Bootloader locked "forever" like the US version or not.
Previously, I bought this phone, and sadly it was a US version, so Bootloader locked "forever".
This time, I would like, while still present in the store, be sure 100%, that it will be Rootable (sure TWRP first), once I get home with it.
I am planning to turn ON the phone a little bit while in the store, and do a little inspection in the system.
Sellers will not allow me to try Root the phone in the store, nor turn it into Download mode, so it would be great, if I may know for sure from the system, about its Bootloader.
Thx you very much.

Just use Magisk

 

[saoudien07]

I installed Magisk.zip through TWRP, but the app never appear on.
Then decided to innstall the apk, and still no Root.
Any idea??

I unlocked the bootloader in developer settings and download and also flashed vbmeta_disabled.tar in odin. I CAN flash TWRP, but I need to mash the buttons quickly as stock rom reflashes recovery (I have heard though that TWRP should reflash itself permanently after 1st boot?).

My problems seems to be that TWRP does not see the microsd at all.
I tried mounting it and i tried another microsd (they are both exfat formatted).
The situtation makes it impossible to backup or flash a custom rom. Any help?

I have SM-780G Snap 4G.

you wont get any help with such poor details...
for start, is the Bootloader unlocked ? With a Locked Bootloader, you wont be able to do anything...
Did you enable OEM in "Developer Options" ? is "USB Debugging" enabled?
maybe provide a pic of Download Mode, before the error occurs.

And as I said I followed the directions, so why would my bootloader be locked? Anyways, problem solved. Enjoy, being unhelpful to people.

With the S20FE we can no longer juggle with twrp as we did with the previous phones . So I opted for Swift Backup and it works great to backup all your android on an sd card.

Hi, I am struggling to enter into TWRP recovery, right after its flash.
Thx for any additional tips on how to enter into TWRP.
