Hi all.
I have the 935F International on it's way to me, delivering in the next day or so
By all accounts the 935F is already unlocked. To prepare, I have already downloaded Odin 3.11.1, CF's root file, TWRP twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte tar, and a custom ROM and bootloader/modem files.
I'm not a noob to flashing, just newish to Samsung.
What is the best way to start? Boot into stock, enable bootloader unlock on developer options, run Odin and flash TWRP, then CF's root file? Also, I want to run unencrypted - format data using advanced wipe 'yes' method?
The ROM states it sets root on installation. Do I then need to flash CF's root file?
Further, how are bootloader/modem tar files flashed? Is it as simple as selecting BL for bootloader, although I don't see anything for the modem??
Finally, what is the actual order of all this? I'm thinking: TWRP first, Format internal data second, CF root third, ROM flash from TWRP fourth, reboot to download mode from TWRP and then flash modem/bootloader last. Then reboot all together to set the phone up?
Thanks and any help is appreciated
1. Update to latest firmware
2. CF-Autoroot
3. TWRP
4. Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, wipe data.
5. Reboot recovery, mount system.
6. Wipe all except internal and external sd.
7. Flash your ROM

Thanks for the info :good:
When you say update to latest firmware this is Bootloader and Modem yes?
Steps 2 & 4 - just having done a little more research, are these outdated now?; as TWRP (latest) now fixes encryption and the ROM will inject (for a better term ) SuperSU when installing it? Or will this still need to be done irrespective of using the latest version of TWRP and ROM?
Cheers and thanks :good:
If you're not new to rooting and custom roms, pretty much all you need is to unlock OEM in Dev Options in Settings, Restart the device and hold Vol Down+Home+Power to get into Download Mode and press Up at the blue screen. Plug in your USB to your phone and run the tool on your PC.
Once Rooted, its business as usual. You don't need a guide to install TWRP, just install the Flashify app and let it do it for you, and then have no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip handy to flash. I know no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip is essential if you flash TWRP through ODIN, but not 100% sure if you should if you flashed TWRP through Flashify, I always flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip regardless so I unno.
Also if you find yourself in a semi-bricked situation where you can't figure out your problem, as long as you have Download Mode, you'll always have a way to get back to a working device. Samsung Smart Switch for Windows has an Emergency Mode that will revert your device back to Factory Conditions.

I've been doing things this way since day 1 with no problems. My advice would be to do it the same way. I can assure you a solid install ;]
Yes, firmware is bootloader & modem. Great thread for this is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065
I had been struggeling myself alot with this but after looking everywhere I collected pieces of information all over XDA and fixed it.
Since all the information is scatterd around everywhere I thought it would be good to make a complete piece here.
I have only tested this with the device: (Honor 8 FRD-L09)
If anyone got this working on other devices please leave a comment so I can add it to this list for other people to see.
So here it goes:
1- First you need to be have an unlocked bootloader.
2- Flash via fastboot the new TWRP with decryption support Here
3- Download two files:
a- update.zip Link (1.5G)
b- update_data_full_hw_eu.zip Link(1.05G)
4- Flash these two files using TWRP (a then b)
5- Reflash TWRP (using fastboot)
Finally, to root, you need to flash this patched prerooted boot.img B378 root boot image (from SD card): Link(15.8MB)
You can do this with OldDroids TWRP or with surdu_petrus TWRP: Link(36.2MB) and Link(24,2MB)
1- Flash OldDroids or surdu_petrus TWRP
2- Select "Install" -> Click "Images" -> Go to External SD and select your rooted_b378_boot.img
3- When it asks where to install click boot.
4- Then reboot and install phh's superuser from the playstore (its the only superuser that works for now)
5- Install JRummy's Busybox Installer and install to /vendor/xbin
Done!
Note: To get AdAway working, go to Preferences, then scroll down to "Target hosts file" and set it to "custom target". Then set Custom target to "/vendor/etc/hosts"
If you have any questions feel free to send me a message I had much trouble with it too.

Quick Question: I have installed normal TWRP 3.1.0.0, every time i want to install the newest SuperSu Beta, it resets TWRP completely. Is your guide also going to work for me, or do i have another problem?

Yes SuperSU doesn't work as far as I know you need Phh Superuser.
But if you already have nougat 7.0 B380 you can just begin at the boot.img installing step and it should work for you too.
Good luck!
Ok, but you linked "twrp-3.1.0.0-eva", i've installed "twrp-3.1.0.0-frp" - do you know, where the difference is?
Edit:
Well, something has gone wrong. Doesn't boot...stays on that screen forever...i tried restoring the backup i took while the system was read only with TWRP

The difference is that the TWRP that I linked can flash .img 's
wich you need to flash the boot.img
Try to get back in TWRP and start at step 1 just do the whole guide then your phone should boot again

The "twrp-3.1.0.0-eva" is for the Huawei P9, the "twrp-3.1.0.0-frD" is for the Honor 8.
And first boot after TWRP install can take longer that usual:
Q: Why does booting take so long?
A: Because of the decryption process which need to finish
its work before twrp tries to access /data partition.

Try flashing the pre-rooted boot.img via fastboot command line.
Worked for me.
Code:
Copy the pre-rooted boot.img to the adb/fastboot directory
(have usb debugging enabled etc etc, connect phone to computer)
Start a cmd box
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash boot rooted_b378_boot.img
reboot device.

I can boot into TWRP no Problem, as i said, i restored the backed up image (somehow after a factory reset, the stock apps as well as the keyboard was gone, i could not type in my wifi password) in TWRP, but it sat for about 10 Minutes on that screen when i turned the phone off.
I do not have very good Broadband, so i will start at the first step, installing the update files, linked in the first post.

Yeah.. A FactoryReset seems to be a big "no no" after flashting TWRP as it will delete the keyboard and other stuff.
I was in that situation and restored a TWRP backup which got me back to booting into android, but somehow the Camera and LED (flashlight) didn't work.
Restoring an older and a complete backup did not help. Flashing the Update files did not help.
Eventually I ended up following the Honor 8 Rollback steps; going from Emui 5 (android 7) back to Emui 4.1 (android 6).
That also means the Bootloader is locked again, so you'll have to re-unlock it again (if you still have the code, you can use it again).
My steps after the Rollback:
- OTA updated back to Emui 5,
- Factory reset (BEFORE installing TWRP) and reboot.
- Enabled USB debugging,
- Unlock bootloader,
- Flashed TWRP and immediately after that I booted into recovery and rebooted,
- Rebooted to Fastboot (via adb reboot bootloader),
- Fastboot flashed that pre-rooted b378 boot.img and rebooted,
- Installed Phh's root.

I had the same as you describe here but I fixed it by flashing the 2 files I posted up here (a and b)
After doing it step by step as described in the first post, it worked I also flashed the P9 TWRP, just to make sure. It works! But i already miss Resurrection Remix from my Mi4c...
However, does this mean TWRP Backups are useless? :/

Hi,
maybe what I am going to ask sounds silly but as I am a kind of newbie hope you will forgive me
Why do we have to install a prerooted 378 image instead of a prerooted 380 Image. Aren't we on 380?
Where does this 378 image come from? Until now I only saw Nougat's 360 & 380 Roms.
I am already on 380 but my root doesn't seem to work properly so I wanted to give a try to thierrybla's OP's post but I don't know if to follow his instructions by using OldDroids TWRP to install his suggested prerooted 378 Image or instead by using OldDroids TWRP to install the other thread's Prerooted 380 img.
What shall I do if I'm already on 380 but would like to try thierrybla's procudure so see if I finally get a well-rooted 380 rom?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,
Your question is not stupid I can see why you are confused but everytime I tried to root or preroot something it didn't work for me I also run 380 and once I tried the prerooted 378 made by atariii it worked so there is no reason te be skeptical because I was in the same situation as you and this worked for me just give it a try you won't be disappointed
Thanks for your quick answer!!!
Ok, so I understand it is safe to install prerooted 378 image while being on nougat's 380. Thanks, I will try it right now!

Hey thierrybla, it worked beautifully! Thanks!
The only thing I did different is too install the prerooted image with Fastboot instead of the Oldroid Twrp.
I was afraid of messing my good working TWRP setup and decided to try what N01tra user suggested.
It worked like a charm! Thanks again!

[CONFIRMED] Confirm my Oreo to Marshmallow to 6.01 Resurrection Remix plan & commands
Hey folks,
I'm buying a Nexus 6P 128GB running OREO this afternoon. I'm a 6P newbie.
Am in a rush as I'm driving out to Dallas tonight and need it for the trip.
My Pixel XL's GPS died.
This is a last minute/rush thing, so I haven't had time to research.
0) Unlock bootloader if not already done
1) Do a factory wipe from Security settings
2) Reboot to Bootloader.
3) flashall.bat the 6.01 factory image (angler-mtc20l-factory-b7864fdb)
4) Log into phone and then reboot to bootloader.
5) fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-angler.img
6) Reboot to recovery
7) Wipe cache/dalvik/data
8) Install rom.zip (ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-angler.zip)
9) Flash GAPPs.
10) Boot to ROM and log in.
Yes, I did read the ROM thread directions (copied below).
But since I'm new to 6P, I wanted to make sure there is nothing funky I'm not aware of or missing. Thanks!

All this is assuming your phone is rooted already. Flashing everything manually rarely works properly for me since my computer doesn't always detect it for some reason.
I use skipsoft tool kit which works for noobs and more advanced users
If it is rooted, letting the factory image run from start to finish will reset recovery and might unroot your phone.
you could manually install the parts and skip recovery so it doesnt have to be reinstalled. however you wouldn't be here if you knew how.
I'd tell you the order but I dont have a factory image to open and see the flashall bat instructions.
To find out the order. Right Click flashall.bat > edit. From here it will tell you the order it is going to flash everything. If you can follow it. flash everything except recovery, as this will allow you to boot into recovery after the install is complete. My only warning for this is that this method has worked moving up the update chain. so 6.0 to 7.0 etc. I havent tried it downgrading, let alone you are going from 8.0 to 6.0 so dont take my word for it being successful. If it does load follow the rest of the steps below. If it doesn't boot to recovery, you'll have to find one the works for 6.0 or reinstall twrp
wipe,
load custon rom,
gapps
boot. (confirm you can boot to initial install screen)
Then add kernal
If not.
Install factory
Root phone,
load recovery,
wipe,
load custon rom,
gapps
boot. (confirm you can boot to initial install screen)
Then add kernal
Okay, all done.
The steps I listed in my OP worked perfectly.
I just had to add "recovery" to my command "fastboot flash twrp.....".
So that it reads "fastboot flash recovery twrp...."
I knew this, I just forgot it for a minute.
But there was no weirdness. Pretty straightforward. :good:
I'm now on RR 6.01 and gonna start looking for my favorite Exposed modules that aren't available on Nougat yet (or ever).
Thanks for trying to help, StarRavier.
Hi guys. This is my first post on XDA.
Now I've got C9 Pro, and hours ago I just got it flashed with the latest Android 8.0.0 ROM, version: C9000ZHU1CRG9.
Also I managed to flash TWRP. Then I started doing the Root things with TWRP, as I had done on Android 7.1.1.
However, I did get issue while doing the Root on Android 8.0 --
Actually the SuperSU was flashed successfully, but after this, the phone kept restarting, failing to enter the OS.
I am definitely sure I did the Root with the right steps.
Also I tried different versions of SuperSU, still the issue existed.
Then I flashed Magisk instead, no use.
I even used other versions of TWRP, still no use!
......
Finally, I quitted, flashing the former Android 7.1.1 ROM.
I can't use a phone without Root, but I really want to experience Android 8.0.0.
Can someone offer me any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You know what, I already tried TWRP 3.2.3, but failed!:crying:
I have tried almost every combination ended up getting bootloop always except when I tried these;
1. Install stock firmware and csc (not home csc this will fully wipe the phone)
2. After finishing it enters to recovery and updates the system. Keep hold of pressing the volume down+home key to enter to download mode as soon as it finishes installing system update.

Your phone should boot normally to setup screen.
After You finish setup you should see supersu icon and your phone should be rooted.
I haven't tested but if your phone is in working condition right now you can try from step 3 to not lose your data.

There is, however, one problem with the given TWRP:
Before flashing SuperSU, I did format, or exactly, mount /data.
But when the phone was rebooted again, /data resumed unmounted, resulting in failure in flashing other ZIPs (It said "unable to mount /system").
Then I got the phone rebooted, the terrible bootloop occurred again!
That is to say, we have to flash all ZIPs in one time after mounting /data without rebooting the phone, but sometimes this is not possible.
Now my phone has gone back again to Android 7.1.1, and I think I have to wait for an official TWRP that supports Android 8.0 thoroughly on C9 Pro!

1. Install stock firmware and csc (not home csc this will fully wipe the phone)
2. After finishing it enters to recovery and updates the system. Keep hold of pressing the volume down+home key to enter to download mode as soon as it finishes installing system update.
3. install twrp from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903985796 (original thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/c9-pro/development/twrp-c9ltechn-t3646970 sometimes links can be dead. In that case you can find new link from that thread).
4. Keep holding of pressing Volume Up+Home key while installing twrp to boot into recovery as soon as the phone reboots.
5. While in recovery flash this SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4164510&d=1496008012 (Located in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4164510&d=1496008012 as "*** Xperia users, and others experiencing bootloops ***
Please use this version instead: "
Your phone should boot normally to setup screen.
After You finish setup you should see supersu icon and your phone should be rooted.
I haven't tested but if your phone is in working condition right now you can try from step 3 to not lose your data.
Good Luck -

I tried your guide & used Magisk v17.2 instead of SuperSU at step 5 & successfully resolved the bootloop problem, but I did encounter the problem of data not mounting even after flashing ashyx_dm-verity zip:

There is, however, one problem with the given TWRP:
Before flashing SuperSU, I did format, or exactly, mount /data.
But when the phone was rebooted again, /data resumed unmounted, resulting in failure in flashing other ZIPs (It said "unable to mount /system").
Then I got the phone rebooted, the terrible bootloop occurred again!
That is to say, we have to flash all ZIPs in one time after mounting /data without rebooting the phone, but sometimes this is not possible.
Now my phone has gone back again to Android 7.1.1, and I think I have to wait for an official TWRP that supports Android 8.0 thoroughly on C9 Pro!

2 days ago I flashed again the Android 8.0 ROM into my C9 Pro with Root successfully, through which I found the actual problem:
The given TWRP only supports the specific SuperSU zip, and while I flash other zip files, the bootloop occurs again. That's why I surrender flashing Xposed zip.

Well done
I can confirm that I have enabled mounting data partition in TWRP after using your mentioned Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018 zip file, Although I haven't followed your steps exactly
I have mentioned my steps in earlier reply.
Thanks

Thanks first.
Well, I do have a question: can I flash other zip files, like Xposed, with your given TWRP without phone bootloop?
Thanks!
New thread with root guide on oreo (8.0) step by step with required files would be appreciable.

Last night I tried this again following the steps, and finally the flash of Xposed and other 3rd-party zip were successfully!
Only one problem: an app named "Toggle Data" could not be run properly.
Again, thanks a lot!
How to do, C9 Pro with Root successfully?

Thanks in advance......i'm so frustrated feel ripping my **** off.. being struggling with this for 3 days...
I was on official stock 7.0 nougat (generic russian), genesis kernel drmfix & Twrp for about a year with no issue. In fact that's my 1st and only attempt in flashing this phone. Decided to upgrade to 8.0. Big mistake!?!
Used Emma flash to flash the latest stock 8.0 release for my region, Asia. It booted up fine, all was well. I read that flashing stock will simply remove root and twrp. But i realized stock recovery was missing as well. And i can't restore any kind of recovery no matter what i tried. Suggestions please !
When i tried to enter recovery, the phone simply vibrated twice, and then 3 times quickly. If i continue holding the buttons, it goes into a loop of black screen and boot screen.
Tried flashing twrp via adb/fastboot. It appeared successful . No error messages. File size and time taken was also reported. But no recovery upon rebooting.
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I can only flash roms using Emma, Flashtool ftf always fail with a 'no loader' found message.
Tried re-flashing mm, nougat and oreo via Emma. Phone runs well for all but again no stock recovery.
Don't know what else to do or what the problem is......
If i reflash to stock rom and relock boot loader without any recovery, it that dangerous?

1. Download 'Modded boot img for 34.4.A.2.118' from that thread
2. Flash stock with Emma
3. Don't turn on the phone, go to fastboot and flash the boot img and TWRP img

Hi, Thanks for the reply
1. Done
2. Which do i choose in Emma? Software update content (erases user content) or Firmware update versions.
Also must i choose the stock rom which must tally with boot img 34.4.A.2.118? ie. the rom version which ends with .118?
3. Fingers crossed.

Yes, flash 118 fw. If you want to save data, back it up first.

I have given up I followed the instructions explicitly.
Tried flashing latest stock from different regions via Emma, Flashtool/xperifirm and ftfs from online depositories. Then flashed with the corresponding downloaded boot.img, then TWRP without any rebooting inbetween. Even created patched boot.img from extracted .elf files to try. There was no error messages or anything.
Recovery runs fine. But starting normally it either boot loops are stuck at Sony logo.
Is there any other way to get the drm restored? Can i root it via common methods and work my way from there?

Did you full wipe before flashing, or when flashing, (check boxes in 'wipe' section)?

If i use flash tool, i ticked all boxes under Wipe sin during stock rom flashing. All the rest (exclude sin & misc TAs) are unchecked. No other wiping during the process.
If i use Emma, there's no chance to wipe anything, it's auto flash stock rom, then flash boot.img, then flash Twrp, then reboot to a boot loop.
btw, i've tried latest twrp 3.2.3 and 3.2.1
Also, when i flash stock, is stock recovery supposed to return? Twrp just gets removed, and i don't have any recovery at all.
Am i cursed?

I don't think you can boot to Sony stock recovery. If you flash stock 118, then flash modded boot img and TWRP, and reboot, I don't know why it wouldn't work. Many have done it. Just to be sure -
1. To enter recovery, you power off, then press power and volume down together, until vibration.
2. First boot takes a while. Wait a good 10 minutes to be sure.

There's why it's so odd to me. Not the 1st time i'm doing this too. I would have waited even longer if it was stuck, but it was looping continuously back to the start.
I suspect could simply be a hardware fault developed. Anyway, i've given up. Probably best excuse to get a new phone
Many thanks for trying to help :good:
I haven't been able to get mine to reboot to recovery either, so i just boot recovery.img from fastboot anytime I want to mod. Kinda annoying but I haven't figured a way around it.
