If oem lock and usbdebug at developer option are active you can esealy flash twrp via odin and then flash new rom for your phone with twrp.btw it will delete all your apps but your files will be keep if you don't wipe internal storage
But i think there is another way at twrp without flashing a new rom
Just do a little search

Just wondering if he flash a recovery vida odin and then install another stock rom will it wipe the phone data?
He got some important notes and messages he's worried about. Any ideas.
Thanks

Everytime you flash your phone will wipe your data thats not on your sd card. Have you tried connecting to a computer via usb before entering the pin and leaving it on the lock screen? If you can view the device and pull your files on your computer you should be able to recover your data before reflashing.
What kind of phone and carrier do you have? Lollipop is not available on some s4's certain carriers.

Incorrect.
Flashing a recovery NEVER wipes your phone. Flashing a stock rom NEVER wipes your phone unless you select re-partition. Flashing anything else trough Odin will NEVER wipe your phone unless you check re-partition.
Question to the op:
What notes/files are you talking about? Are they stored on the internal storage? Did you try to reflash the firmware (or any newer Lollipop version) trough Odin (without re-partion and .pit)?

Possible to Recover Data from Soft-Bricked S7 Edge?

I have a Canadian S7 edge and it had been rooted for a long time, but I lost the root when I updated to android 7.0.0. I foolishly tried to root it the exact same way I had before (Odin and .tar file method) and now my phone refuses to fully power on. After the boot logo, some new "integrity verification" has failed and I get a message saying my only option is apparently to factory reset and loose everything since my last backup. I'm wondering if there's any way to either:
a) Recover my data first. My PC won't read my phone at the "integrity verification failure" screen, however, my phone can boot into download mode (still unreadable, though). I've tried a few sketchy phone recovery programs on free trials, and none of them were able to read my phone (though none seemed high-quality anyway).
b) Flash stock firmware and fix this all. I am currently downloading stock 7.0 firmware and CSC files for my region/carrier, and I'm wondering if flashing this will pass the "integrity" check and put me safely back to square one, or if I'll lose everything there too.
I don't have a custom recovery currently either, though I realize that wiping my phone would mean I could quickly do that. But caving and wiping my phone is the last thing I want to do here. Any help here would be extremely appreciated!
First of all .. I think flash Stock ROM will erase all data.
but if you can flash custom recovery by ODIN and mount USB Storage to PC and manual backup your data .. it will be good idea if it possible.

If I flashed custom recovery, what exactly do you mean by mounting USB Storage to PC? Is that something I could do in the custom recovery (TWRP for example)?
Also, I'm okay with losing system settings or apps, but internal storage like images and music is what I really want to save.

Yes .. TWRP Exactly has option to mount device internal storage or micro sd card storage to PC so you can transfer files between device and PC.

So does this all mean that there's no way to root the S7 edge on Nougat yet, or is there a different way that'll work fine and I just made a dumb mistake?

When I say "no-go" I mean it's something that won't work. TWRP looks like it doesn't work anymore, when I read your problem that you posted, and the warnings on the TWRP website and XDA page.
I did some reading and it looks like flashing my stock ROM shouldnot delete my internal storage data, so I think that might be my only chance. If it doesn't work either, I'll factory reset, because I don't want to risk the same error you had.

Since you don't have anything to worry about (if it fails you can reset again), I'd try again and see if it works, if I were you.

I'm currently factory resetting my phone (goodbye phone data ). I tried to flash a stock ROM and after a few failed attempts, it failed so bad I got a message saying the only thing I could do now was factory reset LOL. Not much I can do now but be glad I didn't 100% ruin my phone I guess.
I may try rooting again in the future, but I'll have to learn how to do it your way, since my way doesn't work right now.

Putting a lock screen on your device won't re-encrypt your device.

Wiping data in recovery will not disable encryption. It will remove it temporarily, but will re-encrypt at first boot.

Hmmm now you need to format all of your internal storage
Or just flash rm pass. If doest not help, also if u have some thing u don't want to loose then flash miui and the log in to ur id and then. Goes on, or just format data.

Remove Encryption

Hi all,
Fairly new to this phone (9t) and am currently on Titanium is. Was wondering if there's a way to disable encryption as I tend to find if things go wrong you potentially lose all data and I tend to mess about with mods etc so don't want to run that risk!
Cheers!
Anyone?

You need to format Data to remove encryption ONlLY if you want to install custom ROMs
For Magisk and any modding you plan to do with Magisk/root, you don't need.
Also, for the official TWRP or OrangeFox you don't need to decrypt (unless you go for custom ROMs)
I'm currently on a custom ROM but when I first went through the setup process everything was decrypted, then when I booted up and went in settings, it said encrypted and going by to twrp asked for my pattern to decrypt. I'm not sure what I've missed through doing all that but as a consequence, whenever I flash an update to the ROM, I have to reflash vendor + fw just to be able to boot again... I'm worried that at some point this will **** up and screw my data up.
So say for example if I set everything up from scratch again, what process should I follow? I'm using the Italian guys' twrp atm (sorry forget his username!) So is there a different twrp I should use instead or is there anything else I need to flash/do to avoid encryption happening on first boot?
