[TWRP][Android 6.0][3.1.0-0][c9lte][c9 pro][Indian][Root][decrypt] Work in Progress

[k2wl]

TWRP 3.1.0-0 for Samsung Galaxy C9 pro (SM-C900F) indian variant

This recovery is tested only on indian variant but should work on other variants too.​

Flashing custom recovery and boot images will trip knox flag 
and it can not be reverted. Your warranty will be void. 
I am not responsible for any data loss or damage happens to device.

THIS PROCEDURE CAN CAUSE DATA LOSS . PLEASE MAKE A BACK UP BEFORE PROCEEDING.
This TWRP is built from source. It support back up of system,efs persist partitions.
As default samsung encrypts data and internal storage so by default you cannot mount data, system or internal storage.
So for removing encryption we have to format data and load decryption script given below.

Steps
1.Boot into Download mode
[Vol. Down + Home + Power]

2.Flash recovery.tar.md5 from odin [use latest 3.12 version and put tar.md5 in AP slot] and keep pressing Vol. Up + Home while flashing tar.md5 so that it will boot directly into recovery after reboot.

3. In recovery keep system read only.

4. go to backup menu and backup all partitions. Now reboot to normal OS

5. connect the phone to PC and copy the TWRP folder from storage to PC. (this is back up for restoring)

6. Back up your data, pictures, contacts, sms, whats up, telegram messages etc.

7. reboot to recovery [Vol up + Home + Power] and format data and in advanced wipe - format system,data,internal storage,cache,davlik from wipe menu.

8. connect phone to pc , now you can see internal storage.
Download & Copy
i) no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx from https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...wrp-3-0-2-1-samsung-galaxy-a9-pro-sm-t3426701
ii) SuperSu https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55256620&postcount=1
to storage
Now copy your TWRP back up to storage.

9.Now from restore menu install the back up. > Go to install and select the above 2 zips for install.

10. after installing all this you have rooted phone with decrypted twrp . Now boot to os

Remember to make back up of this rooted configuration in TWRP so that you can always get back to this configuration when ever you want.

Atlast... Feeling blessed..

Thank you K2wl for working on this phone.

Will flash this TWRP & Let you know the status.

Is this TWRP version same as the one in the other thread? Because I already tested the TWRP in the other thread & posted few issues. Are they rectified?


Please let us know.

K2wl,

Any chances of porting Custom Roms on C9 Pro like Cynogen Mod 6.0 or Lineage OS.
Simple roms for this beast phone would be great.
Any plans for this from your side?
Just curious.. :good:

 

[rajdeep312]

I was able to format system.

use format data from advanced wipe.
type yes for formating data
after that go back to install and install no-verity-no-encrypt script above from internal storage.

if that does not solve your problem then copy the recovery log here.
