Hi there sorry for noob question but I need to know about the following things since I have Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935F). I was reading an article [Recovery][Exynos] Official TWRP for Galaxy S7 edge (hero2lte) where OP said the following:-
If you only want a bootable system partition:
Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Note: This does not disable the forced encryption on Bxxx firmware, only Axxx firmware due to a change in vold by Samsung.
I want to ask what are Bxxx firmware, only Axxx firmware? And can somebody provide me the download link? Can I flash this on my cell?
Regards

Hi guys,
I have gone thru the forum to install Magisk systemless root in S7 Edge running 8.0 but have few questions.
1. Is TWRP mandatory to install Magisk for systemless root?
2. If above point is yes, then will the device be eligible for OTA even with TWRP recovery?
3. Please provide steps to install Magisk systemless root in S7 Edge running 8.0 latest October patch
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your time and response. There is something called systemless root which will hide the root from the system and also allows official OTA updates.

From what I know, when you download an OTA and prompt your device to install it, your Android system performs a series of checksums to ensure that your /system, /boot, /recovery, and /vendor (or /OEM) partitions are unmodified from their original stock configuration.
The benefit of Magisk is that it does not modify the system partition, but while installing Magisk, the first thing it does is patch boot image. So you might have to restore the original boot image for the OTA to work.
Also, the OTA is designed to be installed via the stock recovery which has been overwritten with TWRP. So, I think u will face a problem there too.
I'm not saying that it's impossible to get an OTA update. It just might not be as easy as u r used to.

Got your point. Thank you. I read that Magisk can be installed without root or even custom recovery.
The below is taken from the official Magisk thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
How to download or extract the stock boot image file from my official ROM?
"Via Magisk Manager:
This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img"
G935FD
So I’m getting this in my Samsung S7 edge exynos with latest stock rom 8.0
¤Magisk 18.1 and magisk manager 7.1.1¤
Format /data,
restore stock boot.img to install magisk zip
install remove encryption,
install Magisk 18.1,
Reboot system.
After reboot to twrp, /data is again encrypted.
(But the data remains unencrypted when rooted with SuperSu)
☆Please tell me how do I keep my data in twrp unencrypted while keeping magisk installed☆
《Any help is greatly appreciated》
You can flash the modded twrp with encryption support so you don't need to remove encryption of your device.
the latest one I'm using is the one on my signature.
If you wan't to keep device unecryped anyways use this video for as a guide, this is the first guide I used before using xda forums: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwLja68KmKM

Reboot in Download mode
Open Odin - uncheck f. reset time and auto reboot.

After flash press in same time power + home + volume down and when u see Samsung logo switch to power + home + wolume down
Now u are in TWRP.
Go to wipe- advanced - tipe yes to format.
Go to install and flash dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip.
Now flash magisk/supersu zip.
Reboot and enjoy
factory reset - wipe data or from where to do? from operating system?
TWRP version you uploaded is already for my version? here i found https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/ more updated version, but which to choose? tar or img?
download odin - which version? https://odindownload.com/download/#.Xk_1AjIzaHt 3.13.1 or 3.13.3
from where to download magisk/supersu? or which is better?
also may i write both zip file at once on sd card (no-verity..., magisk)?
Is it possible to root with this method without sd card?

You can remove all of these
I plan to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 G-900T with MAgisk. Some manuals suggests to decrypt the data first by using the Format data in TWRP recovery following by flashing with the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and MAgisk.zip files.
1. Should I format Data and install no-verify-opt-encrypt before the flashing the Magisk on Galaxy S5?
2. If answer is "Yes", what version of the no-verity-opt-encrypt I should use: 5.1 or 6.1. I have both. Or it doesn't matter which one to choose?

all you have to do is enable debugging in developer option first. flash twrp using odin and flash magisk in twrp. you should have root.
Hi!
My s5 sont reboot into twrp after flashing it with Odin.
Doe's someone have A clue what to do....?
Basic information:
My Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, (SM-T725C)
Magisk: Magisk is installed, using falsh patched image.
TWRP link: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs5elte.html
Issue:
Now I wish to install TWRP to my device, but I can't. I followed the instruction on TWRP page, install TWRP app via google play, download the vbmeta.tar and flash it. Now I ended up with the result that I can't get into my system. (When I enter recovery, it's TWRP, when I boot normally, it just stays with samsung logo.)
I managed to reflash the magisk patched image and now I can boot into the system. But how can I flash TWRP, with magisk enabled at same time?
(I use TWRP to flash opengapps because google apps are not included in Chinese version of Samsung system)

I dont know if this works with the latest update, but it certenly worked with android pie and the first android 10 update.
Edit 'I have just seen your device is a different number so may not work'
Instal TWRP without a P.C. for Galaxy Tab S5e (SM-T720) keeping stock ROM.
I wrote this guide because I had difficulty trying to instal a patched version of twrp through odin so I found this alternative way which worked very well for me. Please read all through especially the warning at the end before attempting to...
