You try and sideload rom using twrp?
You may also be able to access internal/external storage while in twrp

tried it doesnt work

Almost sounds like you flashed an incorrect or corrupt kernel .. I had this happen once before and fixed it by re-flashing a stock, rooted RRU back to the phone and starting over

Take a look at this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/soft-bricked-im-dumb-t3378838
I've bricked my phone more than once.. You can also try booting into TWRP, erasing EVERYTHING, and reinstalling everything through your SD card (You must copy the ROM to your SD card after formatting the data and reboot your phone back to TWRP again) which has also worked for me. Honestly your best bet is to search around on here and do your homework before taking a swing at trying to fix the problem. You don't want to brick it to the point of no return which is possible, but honestly I've been modifying and flashing phones before Androids even hit the market and I've never had a permanent brick. There's always a way

Help Needed Urgently

Guys need help urgently.
Today i uninstalled a software called smule and it caused by phone to hang. This automatically restarted my phone and was stuck at the Samsung Logo.
Tried to do soft reset did not work, tried wipe cache from recovery did not work. When I try to mount from the system recovery it will not connect to my PC.
I have 40 GB of pic and videos on my phone which I just can't loose. Need to recover anyhow. Hence one option that i can think of is using the TWRP recovery and mount the phone and copy my important data to pc.
My phone is the 128 GB version Black Pearl. Box say SM-g935FD1
Please help as the data is very precious to me - I don't mind loosing all the apps and settings but can't afford loss of data for me.
I can enter recovery mode and download mode. But can't enter the safe mode.
I have downloaded the following twrp-3.1.1-0-hero2lte.img and ODIN.

Forget twrp. This thing require your /data to be formated first to be able to read data.

Is there a way to get the data back if formatted.
Cant I install the TWRP and boot to the recovery and mount the disc to read. Even that will not be possible ?

No.
TWRP can't mount the disk because it is encrypted.
Data on S7 are encrypted by default.
You need to remove encryption by formatting before twrp be able to mount the disk. So any data before being formatted will be lost and unrecoverable.

No way to recovery. NonXtreme said it as it is.

Just don't do anything that might compromise the data. Wait until someone with experience shows up and meanwhile take it to a samsung store. They might have the tools to bypass whatever causing the bootloop.

is 4 years on xda and over 350 posts not experience?
NonXtreme was correct in what he posted, so why are you saying ignore him?

Damn man. Really need to make regular backups to avoid this my first thought would have been TWRP but of course, as the guys above had said, you simply can't mount /data unless you format it first.
Was it simply an app install? I've never had this sort of thing happen over a simple install.
DON'T DO THIS YET. WAIT FOR FURTHER FEEDBACK.
Guys, could he install fw over the top with odin and home_csc to try avoid wiping data or does this still present an issue with encryption?
Or maybe even just the AP? I can't remember exactly which options wipe data and which ones don't.

Maybe you can try flashing with HOME_CSC. If I remember correctly that doesn't wipe anything - apps and data all remain as-is. Only point where you might be stuck is that during the flashing process or at first boot it will ask for a Pin, and if you have not setup a start up pin in secure startup, you can simply enter "default_password" (without quotes - used to work with older firmwares for S7 edge, but I think I read somewhere that this pin trick now doesn't work with latest one) - so maybe flash the latest and try, if that doesn't work flash an older firmware (with HOME_CSC) and boot and connect your phone to pc and recover - though phone will keep throwing force close errors, and once data is copied flash latest with CSC (instead of HOME_CSC) to wipe the phone clean and start afresh.

Decrypt 5T

I found a workaround to decrypt 5T
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Format Data > Yes > Enter
3. Mount storage
4. Download no-verity flashable zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0pr-ZA5b-1pWHp5aDkzaC1ydUk/view
5. Transfer no-verity flashable zip to your 5T
6, Flash it
7. Reboot

U didn't have any side effects or errors with a zip for the 5, not 5T?

I only tested briefly but nothing at all

Are there benefit?

Do u still have to enter password in twrp

what's this?

I know everyone wants as much performance they can get. In the days of the Nexus 6 and prior, un-encrypting the phone made it faster. With today's flagship phones is is completely unnecessary. You can certainly try and dycrypt if you want but you won't gain any additional performance on the 5t

True..however it just takes away that first step in TWRP "Mount Decrypt" you go right to the home page. Just convenience not performance.

Will this remove the dm-verity message at boot up I got when I had the OP3? Is that message even a thing for the 5T?

Not sure about a message ? When I boot into TWRP it opens on the Mount page and I have to enter a password
to Decrypt before the main page comes up.....this should remove the Mount/Decrypt page and go right to the main page
hopefully on the 5T a well....

If anyone decrypts and is able to remove enforce fbe I have some files for the OP5T for dualboot you can test. Ported over front he OP5. Pm me if interested.

I tried everything under the sun to get the FBE enforced encryption to not encrypt device on boot with stock or any stock ROM, including FreedomOS and Audax. I cannot get it to work. It either does not boot at all or says encryption failed and I have to factory reset and wipe data. I tried every TWRP, every disable dm verity zip, every kernel, combination of flashing. Must wait for a proper zip to disable the forced FBE encryption for OP5T.

That sucks...I was hoping for that...hope a Dev comes up with something soon....

That is not true. If you don't set Android to also use your screen lock password to bet used at boot, the default password for decryption will be "default_password" and TWRP will decrypt without asking. As decryption is done in hardware, you should not notice any difference in speed.

It is more likely that decrypting will trigger such message, unless you have something installed that will suppress such warnings, e.g. Magisk.

This zip worked fine for me. I'm running audax decrypted.

Set a screen lock pin or pw, when Android asks to protect boot process, choose no.
If this helped, there's a thanks button.

Can't get service

Hello,
I recently had security and quick settings issues after installing an update to a ROM. I was shown this method where I would remove the user account(user 0) and it's worked in the past. However, this time, I did it and I now can't connect to any networks. My mobile radio won't turn on from *#*#4636#*#*
Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Thank you.

Be specific.
Which update?
Which ROM?
What method?

It was after applying an RR update.
The method is as follows: navigate to the user folder and remove the user. I don't why this happens but sometimes when the phone boots up after an updater or reflash the pass code doesn't work and the user can't access quick settings or developer options because it isn't the admin account or something to that effect.
So I was told a method to fix that is to remove the user 0 folder. I've don't it before and it's worked flawlessly. Google redoes the setup process after boot but recognizes all accounts already synced and everything is the same.
This time though, after boot, I noticed I didn't have service, so I waited and waited but still had nothing. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and went into the menu but even after turning on the mobile radio multiple times, it never saves the setting. So I'm stuck now.

I had the exact same issue and I almost believed that there's some problem with my sim slot. Radio won't turn on in custom ROM , atleast for me it didn't turn on. I solved it by clean flashing the stock ROM and then turned the radio on. It didn't turn on initially then I turned it on and rebooted immediately. Problem got solved.
U can first try by turning radio on in custom ROM and the reboot the phone immediately by staying on same page.
If that didn't work , stock ROM method will work.
Be sure to backup ur data in case I flash stock ROM coz clean flash is recommended.

Backup up your data first. (Internal storage)
And then attempt anything u want.
Download mi flash tool from here : https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B_PrkMiyehZuNW9uQzl4b252ZzA
Download the Oreo 8.0 ROM from here :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wFzbQ8MyJfprFlGyfIfjKo_cGxX2tGWQ/view
Install mi flash tool and usb drivers.
Extract the ROM once , you will find a file , rename it to .zip extension and again unzip it.
Remove phones password and tick OEM unlock in developers settings.
Reboot phone to fastboot and using vol up + power key. And connect to pc.
Open mi flash and click refresh , it should show ur device there with some code (not name).
Browse to your finally extracted file (a folder it will be named after the ROM )
Now in bottom right chose clean all and lock
And click flash In mi flash
Wait for it to reboot automatically and do not disturb in between.
Then follow the steps in above mentioned steps in my earlier post

My only issue now is restoring from my backup since when I try it it then restarts and I have the issue again. Something may be corrupt within my user folder.

Copy your internal data to a pc or some drive instead of making twrp backup. Then after clean flashing stock , paste your data back to phone.

But will it copy/paste the root directory or application data?

Help! No OS anymore!

I had Lineage OS installed on my pro3. It worked fine for a while.
But this morning, after the latest Lineage OS upgrade, the phone entered fastboot mode. And I could not find a way to boot it into Android.
So I went into TeamWin, wiped out everything. Now when I try to reboot from TeamWin, it says no OS.
I tried to connect it to a pc and use adb to upload the latest ROM. But adb says "no devices/emulators found", although I can see it from pc's device management and fastboot tool in pc.
What can I do now?
Thanks for any help.

OK. I can use ADB sideload to transfer rom from pc to the phone.
THanks

Sometimes this happens on some builds. Dunno why. Usually you'll be able to boot back into system after rebooting a couple of times. Eventually the problem gets fixed in the next release. My advice: stop updating so much. Stay on a stable build and wait for feedback on the build before updating.
You mount the phone in TWRP by connecting it to your PC via cable. You can then make a Nandroid backup and transfer it to your PC (and also restore it) from there. Then you can unzip it and extract photos and stuff from your PC.

I have the same problem. Today morning, I downloaded the new version of Lineage OS from the phone and press the button ''Install'' but now the phone doesn't boot or do anything.
I tried to make wipes of the data and system and now I have no system anymore, moreover, I can't push any file to the phone to flash a new ROM, my PC gives me an error message like ''It's not possible to copy the file. The device stopped working or shuted down.'' (it's a simple translation from spanish, I don't know the actual message in english).
I've just tried to push files using fastboot but it gives me also errors, if you could help me to make this phone works again, I would be really pleased with you.

Hi Andrew, first of all, thank you for your answer.
But I have already installed the last version of TWRP and when I select mount and enable MTP it doesn't happen anything.
I see the phone in my PC, but it appears totally empty, with no folder or anything related to Android system, and when I try to put any file into it, it gives me the error I said before.
So now I have no idea what to do
