Sorry ppl, need some spoon feeding. I have searched but to not avail.
I unlocked my 6p, flash TWRP and installed chroma rom + despairs kernel. All was fine in TWRP
But when I boot into the TWRP after installing my apps, it says password to decrypt and I skip that but allowing it to mod system files. Tried to install zip but internal storage shows 0mb. Can't seem to find my files in SD card folder
My phone is still encrypted.
Never experienced such issues with my nexus 6. Any help?
Chroma works perfectly
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP for the 6p. Initially it only worked if you decrypted, but a few weeks ago a newer version was released that does not require decryption and will see your files.
i tried to root my s7 edge using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084

now i cant boot it , keeps restting,
i have tried mounting usb storage but cant transfer any files to the phone using this option, what shall i do how do i fix this??
thank you in advance
Are you able to boot into recovery?
Flash TWRP through odin and then tap on wipe and format data. After that copy files to Your phones memory or sdcard and do whatever You want. Or if You have TWRP installed then just format data.
Hello,
I have an S7Edge and looking to flash it. I am currently in Nougat 7.0 and would like to backup my data before proceeding with the root.
I have flashed the phone with TWRP but when following this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
People say that you have to format the Data Partition in order to proceed with the installation of SuperSu and NO Dm verity.
Is there a way to backup my phone data [w or w/o TWRP] before ROOTING my phone with TWRP (format data partition to decrypt, install no dm verity and install super su)? This is so after my phone is rooted, I can restore all the apps, pictures, etc.
Thank you for the help! :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
Thank your forwarding me to your thread. I think I figured out a way to fully back it up with the following steps:
1) If you are in Nougat, downgrade to 6.0.1
2) Root your phone by flashing CF-Auto-Root in Odin (it should not wipe any data)
3) Once phone is rooted, you can backup your phone with TitaniumBackup or Flashfire
4) Save the backup in your sd or other external
5) Update phone with official or custom Nougat FW
6) Root phone via custom recovery (TWRP), will have to format all your data
7) One phone fully booted up and rooted, restore from backup with TitaniumBackup or Flashfire
Let me know how it goes
Hello,
I have tried to root multiple times but everytime I flash TWRP and format Data and then restart the data partition keeps getting encrypted again, I am using the official 8.0 Oreo UK version which recently got released, I have tried installing Magisk and Xposed both are installed successfully but with error that /data is not mounted and like I said if I format data to decrypt it and then restart it automatically encrypts it. I also tried flashing Samsung anti root and no opt zips but it also didn't help.
It was released a few days ago, just go with custom or wait for working solution
1 workaround for now :
flash rom via odin /
flash twrp via odin /
flash no_encrypt 6.0, full wipe, reboot to recovery /
flash MoroKernel 1.5 (magisk already included) /
reboot and have fun with no encryptation anymore
No-verity didn't work for me but remove encryption.zip did.
this didn't work for me, it resulted in a bootloop

Sorry for you. check Mount system or data or enable MTP. Internal storage was probably still at 0
I rebooted more than 10times it's ok here

Hi NewbieFTW,
I've followed the steps you've described. (in step 3, I also did format the DATA partition because it was encrypted)
The result is that I'm on stock OREO and I can boot in TWRP.
But whatever I try, after booting OREO the first time, my DATA partition is encrypted again.
So, I have a TWRP as recovery, but only in READ ONLY mode, because it cannot mount an encrypted DATA partition.
This way, I cannot backup or restore my DATA partition.
Can you confirm that your TWRP is not READ ONLY?
And what encryption disabler did you use? (I used no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip)

Yes, I can confirm that I can do whatever I want on TWRP.
I used a .zip found somewhere on a 8.0 thread. I feel like the no-verity zip doesn't work on some devices as it didn't on mine.
Let me grab the link for you : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCLamw9j07bhRgEd6qhymqUxExazy04c/view?usp=sharing
Here you go, try this. It should work now. Try doing the exact same steps as you did before but with this zip instead of no-verity.
Good luck mate

Can anyone confirm that magisk should be installed in twrp before encryption disabler?

Magisk removes the encryption disabler .zip for some reason.
Sounds good dosen´t work.
When you flash Magisk it flashes its own boot or system img and remove encrypt flashes its own, if you flash the magisk itll flash the img but if you then flash encryption disabler it will overwrite the magisk img and magisk will uninstall or if you flash the encrypt and then magisk then you will have magisk but encryption will be enabled.

I can root with patched boot image, but Samsung Healt and Samsung Pay don't works. Anyone?

Samsung Pay will, at the moment, probably never work again because it trips Knox.
For Samsung Health the fix is still the same: install a build.prop editor and change the value of RO.Config.Tima from 1 to 0.
not for me

Apparently there are 2 kind of users here.
One part did manage to install stock Oreo (BTU? other CSC?) , with root (magisk? superSu?) and a working TWRP (3.2.1?) which is not read-only on our beloved S7 Edge (SM-G935F)
The other part did not manage to setup this particular config.
It would be nice to have a detailed step-by-step guide from scratch by someone who managed to do it, so we can reproduce it.
Something recently broke Twrp so now I cant touch my /data partition, ive read that I need to format my phone to fix this issue, the problem is that a recent update from Lineage OS is what broke it I believe, and I updated from within LOS (check for new updates download and install) which auto restarted, so when I went to go back into TWRP to reflash Magisk I started getting the issue
So now I have no root, and no twrp abilities that I know off, which means I cant use a decent backup program
can anyone help?
EDIT: I don't know if they has any relevance but ADB does have root permissions,
EDIT 2: I found out that I can reinstall magisk VIA ADB Sideload from within TWRP, as such I now have root again
@foxtrotdragon: If you can get into TWRP then reflashing Magisk shouldn't be a problem. However, if /data is encrypted then Magisk may not flash, it needs to be able to place some files there. You'll lose everything on internal storage, but formatting /data is the only way forward.
If you can't boot into TWRP then the obvious solution is to reflash recovery from a PC.

Getting into twrp is no issue, the issue is that TWRP cannot read the internal storage, it can read external fine, but fails to read internal storage, which means i cant flash anything, an reflashing twrp does nothing
im fine with reformatting the phone, but i need to backup my stuff first, which i can not do since no root
@foxtrotdragon: Unfortunately for you, backing up the contents of your internal storage is no longer possible, unless you can think of some ingenius method to decrypt without formatting. Formatting /data is your only option. In the future, you should make backups *BEFORE* disaster strikes.
