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

Im not sure what instructions are you talking about but this isnt the first time i root my device.
Im using TWRP 3.2.1 since the last version giving me a little problems when trying to root. Im using the last magisk version.
About dirty or clean.. I first tried just flashing nornal from the OTA and then after it worked (no wifi or LTE) i tried to do factory reset and root again

Try flashing this first https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/16.0/cheeseburger/recovery/
Download ota again and clean flash it from the recovery.
It might be because your TWRP isn't compatible to Pie. Most people here including me tried codework's TWRP and it solved any of our issues.
Edit: after flashing magisk reboot your phone once more. (i didn't knew it before. I booted into my os and checked magisk app to see if root was successfull but it didn't show me. I wiped everything down and flashed magisk again. Same thing happened. Rebooted my phone and saw root was on )

Edit:
Wait the wifi and the LTE problem can be caused by the recovery?

I would suggest do a complete clean install (wiping everything but USB OTG) and making sure you got the latest TWRP from blu_spark or codeworkx. Also flash it following these instructions:
[Clean Flash] For Users with an Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery:
- Download the full ROM zip from the downloads section above
- Transfer the zip to the root of your device's internal storage
- Only needed if you are coming from Oreo or if you use an old TWRP recovery that's not the latest and Pie compatible: Remove the compatibility.zip from the downloaded full ROM zip with either MiXplorer or Total Commander (not with any other tool!) on your device itself
- Reboot to TWRP recovery (make sure you're using siankatabg's TWRP if you're on Oreo or codework's TWRP/blu_spark TWRP if you're on Pie) and take a nandroid backup of your existing ROM
- Flash Magisk Uninstaller (recommended)
- From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache, cache, system, vendor and data> Swipe to wipe
- From the TWRP menu, Install > Select full ROM zip (modified one with compatibility.zip removed, in case you're on Oreo or unmodified one, in case you're on Pie) > Swipe to flash
- Flash the latest stable Magisk in case you want to root
- From the TWRP menu, Wipe > Advanced wipe > Select dalvik-cache and cache > Swipe to wipe
- Optional: If you wish to decrypt, format data via TWRP (please note that wiping the data partition, which we did in the 5th step above, is not the same as formatting it) and after that flash Disable DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt 2.0 (OP5-5T-Treble).zip from here
- Reboot
Full instructions and downloads from -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
i ended up giving up..
im trying to do a clean flash
but the moment i flash the recovery and trying to go into the recovery
boom
black screen
i tried it multiple times both with codework 3.2.3 and blu_spark
Edit: Flash universal codework 3.2.1 does get me into recovery

For the "Clean" Install given that OnePlus5 doesn't have external microSD storage, will ALL data (photos, documents etc) on the phone be erased in Step 6 above?

No, it wont because all of that is stored in the Internal Storage. So as long as you don't check that, you will still have your data. However, I personally wipe everything including the internal storage when moving to a new rom. I prefer to start with a complete clean slate but it is optional.
Hello Guys,
After flashing few pie roms and few GSI I faced really big trouble. When we flash rom we must install erecovery and factory format data. After doing this we loose everything on our internal memory. And this is very headaches. :silly:
So I search many times " How to flash pie roms without wiping internal storage" Finally I figure out a method. Some times you know about this, Some times you don't know about this. Pls let me guide.
• I do not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards
We call this "Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disablers"
Link here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389/amp/
Introduction....
• If you're currently encrypted: BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE TO YOUR PC.
1- Download zip file
2- Reboot to recovery, Then format data.
3- Reboot back into recovery
4- After doing that or if you're not encrypt anymore
5- Make a backup using TWRP ( Ramdisk,Vendor)
6- Wipe required partitions(If you want)
7- Flash your rom, custom kernel (if applicable), then this zip, the magisk/supersu/other root, then Gapps
8- Most important part after flashing rom, You must factory reset using twrp. (TWRP -> Wipe -> slide Left to Right)
• This zip should be flashed after anything that modifies your boot img (like a custom kernel) but before magisk/supersu since this zip creates the files that tells magisk/supersu to not encrypt.
Congratulations now you don't need bootloader for flash roms... :laugh: Feel Free

I cannot root my OP5. I have followed all of the directions unless I'm missing something. A week ago I previously switched to LineageOS but didn't like it so far. So I'm comfortable flashing ROMS.
1. I then downloaded the OOS official ROM, then loaded.
2. Update to most recent OOS (9.0.3) via OTA
3. Followed by factory reset to completely clear TWRP (which was downloaded via official website).
4. Downloaded TWRP
5. *Flash* No verity-opt-encrypt
6. Rebooted to TWRP
7. Downloaded Magisk zip, then flashed
8. Downloaded Magisk apk
9. Open Magisk app *shows* "Magisk is not installed*
I'm thinking maybe I've messed my phone FUBAR up or just completely doing wrong.
*sorry if this has already been answered as well or is posted in the wrong category*

The instructions you need to follow are here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003/post72799040
You did not mention any file versions from rom, twrp, magisk.
What does the twrp log says? Are there any errors why magisk isn't installing sucessfully?

Sorry for not including the rom type. I was gonna try & run the official stock rom, while rooted. I know it was the TWRP from the official TWRP site "twrp-3.2.3-0-cheeseburger.img". Magisk was the most recent version a "Magisk-v18.1.zip". I don't think there were errors, but I can definitely try again.
I am going to try following those instructions. With me already being on "OxygenOS 9.0.4" via OTA update would I just need to cancel some parts? And to make sure that I flashed blu-spark correctly. I just drag then flash that while under TWRP correct?
[Clean Flash] For Users with an Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery:
Download the full ROM zip from the downloads section above
Transfer the zip to the root of your device's internal storage

Use latest Codeworkx twrp(link in the instructions) and flash it with your current twrp
Then flash magisk 18.1 and watch the log for errors!
Then flash no verity patch(if you were decrypted before and want to stay, otherwise please inform me!)
Your quoted instructions are the ones for clean flash the whole rom. DON'T DO THIS! there are also instructions for updating

Firmware issue. Your device is most likely on a firmware other then the one that twrp supports.
So what was the last oxygenOS firmware / rom you use and which twrp(file name) did you flash?
Within the flashing instructions it's written that you need to be on 5.1.7 before flashing 9.0.x
Oneplus has released the PIE Oxygen OS for Oneplus 3T and 3.
This thread is only for OOS PIE. For disabling Dm-Verity and force Encryption in NOUGAT OOS ROMs refer to my thread here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-dm-verity-force-encryption-disabled-t3618232 and for OREO OOS refer to my thread here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/disable-dm-verity-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage or data loss that happens to your device on embarking this procedure. This is a just released version of OOS and so expect the unexpected. Back up all your data and valuables before you go on and don't blame me if you or your device commits suicide..
THE DETAILS....
After a thororugh initial analysis of the PIE installation zip file for Oneplus 3/3T, I found that there has not been much hell of a difference in the protection schema related to Dm-verity and force encryption. Hence most of the procedure remains the same...As mentioned this is relatively new build and probably existing Twrp may need upstream fixes or other changes to accommodate PIE related commits before encrypting, decrypting and flashing...I have no intention of flashing the PIE build unless it gets stable and have a lot of time to spare so that if things get rough i can dive into it..So its untested from my side but its ought to work same as before. ..
So in a nut shell, to disable DM-Verity you will need to flash the patched Boot Images and to disable force encryption you will have to flash the force encryption disabler zip - The links of which are provided below. Do refer to the correct procedure explained in detail before attempting to do anything...
For all those who need an in-depth reading of the nature of patching the fstab in dtb file and my work you can refer here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74326761&postcount=3
THIS METHOD WILL WORK FOR BOTH ONEPLUS 3 T AND ONEPLUS 3...
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY TRIGGERED DM-VERITY ON OOS PIE FOLLOW THE STEPS IN POST 2 IN THIS THREAD TO GET RID OF DM-VERITY BEFORE PROCEEDING...
Nothing has been changed....
It is 100% stock boot image except that the DM-Verity Flag has been patched...

STEPS: This is applicable only to people who have their data currently ENCRYPTED and needs the procedure only for NOT TRIGGERING DM-VERITY
USAGE FOR STOCK OOS:
1. Flash the downloaded boot-patched.img file corresponding to the Model and OOS version in TWRP immediately after flashing the Stock ROM zip in TWRP before doing anything (even before restarting or applying any patches, root, kernels, etc.)
2. Restart back to TWRP Recovery.
3. Done.
4. Now do whatever you want like usual.. Flash root, kernel, mods or anything as usual
5. You dont have to worry about triggering DM-Verity again and any changes made to system via TWRP will not be reverted back..
The 2 Prodeures given below: This is applicable only to those people who needs the procedure for getting rid of FORCE ENCRYPTION AND PREVENT TRIGGERING DM-VERITY
PROCEDURE 1: This is applicable only to people who have their data currently NOT ENCRYPTED AND KEEP IT DECRYPTED
First of all Backup your data preferably to and usb otg or a PC for later restore. You may lose your data from your phone following this procedure...
1. Format SYSTEM, DALVIK, CACHE and then only Flash the Full Rom Pie OOS zip file in TWRP.
2. DON'T REBOOT
3. Flash the downloaded boot-patched.img file corresponding to the Model and OOS version in TWRP immediately after flashing the Stock ROM zip.
4. DON'T REBOOT TO SYSTEM
5. REBOOT TO TWRP.
6. In TWRP, MOUNT SYSTEM, GO TO ADVANCED > TERMINAL and Type "df system"(without quotes) and enter. The details of the system partition will be shown. Look at the Use% and Free Space. Make sure you have atleast 100MB free space in System before you go to the next step. If you don't have enough free space then mount system in TWRP, go to file manager and free some space in system by deleting some unwanted apps (in system/app folder like duo, google drive, hangouts,etc. which you can later reinstall via google play as it is not mandatory for them to run as system apps)...If there is low space on your system partition that fstab file flashing fails resulting in blank fstab file and you will end up in bootloop.
7. Once you have confirmed that you have atleast 100MB of free space left in system partition. REBOOT BACK TO TWRP.
8. Flash "Force Encryption Disabler For OOS Pie v1.zip" in TWRP.
9. Flash SuperSuSR5 / Magisk 18+
10. Done.
11. Reboot to System.
NB:f you have bootloop go back to TWRP by keep holding the power button to power off and powering on and rebooting to TWRP via the volume buttons, mount system, go to file manager and free some space in system by deleting some unwanted apps (in system/app folder like duo, google drive, hangouts,etc. which you can later reinstall via google play as it is not mandatory for them to run as system apps) and reflash the disabler zip and reboot..It is due to low space on your system partition that fstab file flashing fails resulting in blank fstab file. But if you followed Steps 6 and 7 carefully you wont end up here.
PROCEDURE 2: This is applicable only to people who have their data currently ENCRYPTED AND NEEDS TO GET IT DECRYPTED and PREVENT TRIGGERING DM-VERITY
First of all Backup your data preferably to and usb otg or a PC for later restore. You will lose your data from your phone following this procedure...
1. Go to Bootloader...
2. Connect to your PC..Type "fastboot format userdata" without quotes and press enter. (You will lose your data, do back up if you need something.)
3. Don't reboot to system...Using volume buttons select boot to recovery and Reboot to TWRP.....(Very Important)
4. Flash the downloaded boot-patched.img file corresponding to the Model and OOS version in TWRP immediately after flashing the Stock ROM zip.
5. DON'T REBOOT TO SYSTEM
6. REBOOT TO TWRP
7. In TWRP, MOUNT SYSTEM, GO TO ADVANCED > TERMINAL and Type "df system"(without quotes) and enter. The details of the system partition will be shown. Look at the Use% and Free Space. Make sure you have atleast 100MB free space in System before you go to the next step.

8. Once you have confirmed that you have atleast 100MB of free space left in system partition. REBOOT BACK TO TWRP.
9. Flash "Force Encryption Disabler For OOS Pie v1.zip" in TWRP.
10. Flash SuperSuSR5 / Magisk 18+
11. Done.
12. Reboot to System.
NB: If you have bootloop go back to TWRP by keep holding the power button to power off and powering on and rebooting to TWRP via the volume buttons, mount system, go to file manager and free some space in system by deleting some unwanted apps (in system/app folder like duo, google drive, hangouts,etc. which you can later reinstall via google play as it is not mandatory for them to run as system apps) and reflash the disabler zip and reboot..It is due to low space on your system partition that fstab file flashing fails resulting in blank fstab file. But if you followed Steps 7 and 8 carefully you won't end up here.
Rooting:
For Rooting use only SuperSu 2.82 SR5 or Magisk 18 or above seems to work for root...
FAQs:
Q: Is the boot.img file altered in anyway?
A: As mentioned above its 100% stock boot image except that the DM-Verity Flag has been patched in the device tree blobs (dtb)...
Q: My phone is already encrypted, will I lose encryption on flashing the zip?
A: No. It only disables force encryption. That means if you have already disabled encryption in your phone it will prevent the phone from getting encrypted when you flash a stock OOS ROM..
Q: I happen to lose TWRP and revert to stock recovery every time I update OOS, I happen to lose changes made to system via TWRP or lose data/apps accidentally while updating OOS...Can this be corrected by using this method?
A: Definitely. Follow the steps correctly. Each time while updating the OOS, after flashing the Full OOS ROM.zip, immediately flash the patched boot.img of the corresponding OOS given in this thread and then restart back to TWRP recovery. Done. You will never lose TWRP again..
Q: I am Rooting my phone using Magisk/Supersu then why do i need this?
A: Its optional.. If you are rooting phone using Magisk/Supersu it patches the stock boot.img. But in case you have problems flashing Magisk/Supersu after flashing the STOCK ROM zip this can come in handy or as an insurance policy just flash this patched boot.img before doing anything. But is very helpful to those people out there who doesn't root their phone but has unlocked their phone or installed TWRP for other purposes..
Q: How to flash the patched boot.img in TWRP?
A: Default flash option is for zip files in TWRP. Select the flash image option in TWRP. Then select the downloaded patched boot.img file and among from the partition option (boot, recovery and system) select the boot option and then flash it.
Q: What is "-Xn" seen after the OOS Version in the settings menu?
A: That's just my signature -Xn that I had put there to make sure that you have correctly done the procedure and the boot image that is currently in use is my patched boot image and to ensure you that you are 100% safe from DM verity...
Q: Where to find downloads and queries regarding the Stock OOS ROM and Beta OOS?
A: @Siddk007 has been maintaining Stock and Beta OOS threads were you can find relevant information.
Hope you find it useful...
Will update this OP as newer OOS versions come....

I have a question. Is there anyway to prevent OOS Pie Community Build from corrupting the /data partition on Unlocked Bootloaders with Encrypted /data partition? They specifically designed the builds to do so. It doesn't cause it if the device is locked. Can the boot image be patched for that too?

That is the duty of twrp (recovery) I suppose because with stock recovery it doesn't seem to happen and it probably doesn't have anything to do with boot image as such...but u can very well try with the patched boot image..either u can flash the patched boot image immediately after flashing the zip file and try rebooting back to twrp and see
Or replace the boot image in the OOS zip file with mine and try flashing...but no guarantees buddy...
ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING...THIS IS A NEW OS ANS WE ARE STILL LEARNING...

I followed all the steps from procedure 1 ( PROCEDURE 1: This is applicable only to people who have their data currently NOT ENCRYPTED AND KEEP IT DECRYPTED ) and for everyone out there who are confused or fear of loosing data , I successfully booted OOS Pie beta/community build without loosing any of my data/internal storage (everything regarding data is intact).

Don't try because if your data is encrypted and you follow the old steps with pie files for just not triggering dm-verity
Twrp cannot decrypt the data if you reboot after flashing oos community beta and then immediately patched boot image for pie
Luckily i saved myself (from loosing data) by not booting into system and again dirty flashing stable oreo rom using the guide for oreo and patched oreo boot image.
I had to dirty flash OREO Rom patched boot image and magisk all using OTG since i couldn't access data partition.

Hmmmmmm it's a Twrp problem...the problem is with decryption of pie data by twrp...as stated earlier by @a0879, the patched boot image works perfectly with already decrypted data partitions without losing data...
But @Yudh, the patched boot image did it's work by not letting twrp being overwritten by the stock recovery or else you would have been in trouble...

Yes, my bootloader is unlocked from time immemorial and i was on havoc 2.4, twrp 3.2.3-10, magisk v18.1 just before flashing oos pie beta today.
Earlier i tried the leaked version and the one3tos also a few days back which ultimately wiped whole of my data/internal (though i backed it on pc) and replaced it with the stock recovery, i was unable to do anything other than just using it as it was but then also my bootloader was unlocked.
So i was searching for how to use pie by remaining non encrypted and not formatting internal storage and saving then Finally after going through your post i decided to follow each and every step as told, and "B A N G" !! , it worked as told by you !
thanks again..:good:

I had my bootloader unlocked.
I was on oos 5.0.8 latest stable build.
Also i discovered a workaround.
Steps below to keep your app data, unlocked bootloader and update to pie.
1)First upgrade the twrp to latest 3.3.0-1
2)remove any kind of lock in the system.
{otherwise it creates issues at the last point by not allowing us to enter the phone past lock screen.
[ If forgot to do so like me Workaround(perform after step 14 only) is to reboot to twrp and deleting the file located at /data/system/locksettings.db using twrp file manager (trick picked from OnePlus official rooting guide).
Then reboot into system and create the same locking method to retain fingerprints and facelock]
But for some people it would be better to remove locks in the first place from system before taking a full backup using twrp because you can always forget which file needs to be deleted or bymistakely if wrong file is deleted then it will cause issues}
3) reboot to twrp and take a COMPLETE BACKUP IN AN EXTERNAL DEVICE . Internal backup won't help.
It would be better if you don't compress it.(in rare cases it led me to corrupted backup in the past with previous twrp versions)
4)after taking backup don't go out of twrp and using MTP
Copy the whole internal storage to pc .
Bellow part isn't necessary but it would be better if you do it.
Also check the twrp backups digest for each created partition just to be on safer side.( It's better to be safe than sorry.)
So that you can make sure that your backup isn't corrupted.
5) download the community pie beta build and patched boot image for pie on the external storage like an otg (which i used).
Sha256 for OnePlus 3T beta build is
837d0f972ce7a10e422ddbf4d96d37cf3d84422ee5717c37a0ee5c3e1419d3c0
Also sha256 for OnePlus 3T patched boot image is
e2619b029e2f14f8cbe3c3b9306181e6688f038f39e8fcd4d5dea823360dcce0
6)wipe everything in twrp using format data option.
7) reboot to recovery again immediately using twrp otherwise twrp won't be able to access data partition afterwards.
8)flash the community beta build and immediately after that the patched pie boot image.
9) reboot to twrp again
10)flash magisk if you want.
11) reboot to system. After the system is started don't enter anything.
Instead again reboot to twrp.
12)while in twrp connect the mobile to pc and delete all the new folders and files in new internal storage.
After that copy the old internal storage contents to your mobile.
Just wait even i was exhausted. But it worked out well.
13)after that restore only the data partition from the nandroid backup which you made using twrp in the start of this guide
14) reboot to system and your data is still there in your mobile with pie community beta build and also unlocked bootloader
Proof that i succeeded
Now its time for me to enjoy my pie and go to sleep.
For you it's time to prepare your own pie

The problem isn't with twrp i think because
After rebooting to recovery after flashing the pie beta and patched boot image
Even the system couldn't access the data partition it asked me to reset my phone by saying the data partition is corrupted (which in reality wasn't because i was able to recover the data)
So after i formatted it via twrp and rebooted again into twrp
Both the system and twrp were able to decrypt it.
I think something about encryption is changed in pie in oos
I successfully flash the open beta pie following the op's instruction.! Decrypted with no dm-verity message! Thank you Xennet!
I was on Aosip before and I didn't loose my data!

As @a0879 and @xarrismoto have provided proof it's 100% clear that the patched boot image and force encryption disabler zip is able to update Oreo to pie without losing data if the phone is in DECRYPTED STATE ...
Now the problem is for encrypted phones...
Now as @Yudh mentioned it is definitely due to a change in the encryption in pie the data wipe is happening..that's sure..
But the question is if you have a locked bootloader and stock recovery, you are able to update from Oreo to pie without lose of data??...but with twrp you can't....
So the question is, whether the problem of encryption is not handled by twrp or by the system in pie itself....

Can you please elaborate a bit more and it will be most helpful post of the day. As i was on closed beta and lost my data on flashing closed beta however afterwards i flashed custom roms and now my device is encrypted and locked bootloader having TWRP running Colt PIE OS. If i flashed decryption zip and modified boot then my data will be wiped or not? If not then please share your steps. Thanks

I don't think it will work for you as you are encrypted!
I was decrypted before and I stay decrypted after I flash Pie rom. I use latest TWRP 3.3.0.1 and magisk v19.0,also my bootloader is unlock
I followed the instruction from Op which is PROCEDURE 1: This is applicable only to people who have their data currently NOT ENCRYPTED AND KEEP IT DECRYPTED
