[Recovery][Qualcomm] Official TWRP for the Galaxy S7 edge (hero2qltechn) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-0
This is for the Chinese SM-G9350 Qualcomm model only! Do not flash on Exynos models!
If you have a SM-G9300 or SM-G9308, look here instead!
WARNING #1: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
You generally don't have to worry, as it's incredibly hard to brick a Samsung device, and physical damage warranties should be exempt from Knox triggering.
WARNING #2: The Galaxy S7 edge stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Follow the full rooting steps below in order to allow system modifications without the risk of a boot loop!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys7edgechina.html
There is a download link there, as well as instructions on how to flash it.
I highly recommend using Odin 3.12.3+ to flash when possible.
You can find a zip containing Odin as well as Samsung's Mobile drivers here:
https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow these instructions until someone nice comes along and makes a video from them (without ads):
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
You will need to unlock your bootloader now. To do this, download the app "CROM Service By Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd." from the Galaxy Apps store and run it.
Follow the instructions in the CROM Service app to allow your device to accept custom images in download mode.
Extract Odin_3.12.3.zip to your computer.
Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
Download a .tar image of TWRP for hero2qltechn.
Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons while your device reboots.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot, then press [Start].
Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap to [Volume Up] when the screen blanks.
If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again from step 7.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow step 10 you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
If you want to be rooted with something else or just want a bootable system:
Download the latest no-verity-opt-encrypt zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
It will allow your system to boot after swiping to enable modifications or using backup/restore in TWRP.
It should also allow you to use [Format Data] and prevent encryption, allowing you to use your data partition and internal storage inside TWRP.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

It works for all USA variants of the S7 edge, but you can't flash it! Muahahahaha!

You going to compile with DM-Verification off? You can check my device tree it has the kernel built with it disabled.

It doesn't matter, dm-verity isn't enabled in the fstab, nor does the TWRP image contain any verity signatures to enforce.

finally...

thank god!finally!but the front cam issue have been solved?

Anyone know what roms work with this device? Also how to return to stock?

When compression is enabled on backups the device freezes.

What happened to CROM Service? It's not in the Galaxy Apps and .apk's from mirror websites crash when opened.

I flashed this twrp but recovery won't boot. Get blue screen with red writing up top that says custom binary blocked by secure boot (recovery.img). I have gs7 edge AT&T version. Now what?

I had G9350ZCU2APK2 ROM (China), so I installed the Hong Kong ROM G9350ZHU2APK2 (I needed the google services) and the phone work great except the part of receiving or sending SMS's, I have two sim cards cards (China Telecom and China Mobile), if I sent a message from the CT the message was sent also from CM, if I send from CM is not working, when I receive messages I received on both sim cards... , big problem for me, so, I installed the last G9350ZCU2APL3 ROM (China) and is working ok but no google services...
I've tried your method and is working... (kind of) once I installed the TWRP and the last SuperSU the phone had no Wifi and no network signal, so I put back the original firmware...
All I need are the google services because Signal is not working without, the email client is not receiving the email (automatically) without and so on... I've tried all the "possible" ways, no luck...google installer v2 and so on...
Any ideas on how to put the google services?
----- Edit - 28 January 2017 ----
I reinstalled the TWRP provided in the first post and the phone is working, has signal (China Telecom and China Mobile) and also the WIFI is working, I didn't install the SuperSU, kind of weird, with SuperSu installed the phone has no WIFI and no signal...
I've tried to install the gapps pico and the TWRP is saying that "could not mount/data and unable to find crypto folder", "Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)", "Unable to recreate /data/media folder", "failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)", "Unable to mount storage" , "Unable to mount / data/media/TWRP/. twrps.
The last error is: "Failed to mount'/data' (invalid argument)
After reading more posts on the forum I found the following:
"You CANNOT mount an encrypted partition in TWRP.
You do NOT wipe the partition.
Use the FORMAT DATA button. It's right there under the WIPE options next to the ADVANCED WIPE button."
Probably I will try this method when I am in the mood...

This works for SM-G935P? It says manufactured in china on the back.

The post is for the Qualcomm, Galaxy S7 Edge SM-9350, China Open and Hong Kong, same hardware, different software (the Chinese one has no google services).
For your phone SM-G935P, search on google and you will find more instructions, I don't know if I am allowed to post here links from other websites.

It's a serious long shot but it is slowly being worked on.. check out this thread. It's for t mobile but the solution if found will apply to all us carriers as we all use the same method to root on marshmallow.

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------

*DISCLAIMER*
I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by using the Unified Android Toolkit. No warranties of any kind are given.
**UPDATES**
**VIDEOS**
**FAQ**
Q. Help me I can't find my build in the Model Selection Screen
The Toolkit includes a selection of Insecure Boot Images to cover all the different builds available. As there are very many different builds it is impossible to include an image for every single build but some builds share the same Boot Image. If you have a build that isnt listed on the Model Selection Screen you can therefore use a similar build. The best way to go is up to the next available build as it should offer more compatibility with the build you are using but if that isn't available then try the next build below your one as it should still be almost identical as long as it is the same version (ie. 4.1.1).
The Model Selection Screen is there so that if a task in the ToolKit requires an insecure kernel [to perform adb root commands] and your phone doesnt already include one, a compatible boot image [with an insecure kernel included] can be flashed to provide adb root access.
If you have a Custom Rom flashed to your phone then it will most probably have an insecure kernel included so it doesn't really matter if your build is not listed on the Model Selection Screen and when asked [by certain functions] if you have an insecure kernel on your phone you can answer 'yes'. However if the function fails then your kernel may not be insecure in which case you can flash one from the ToolKit. If you need to do this make sure the right build [or closest available build] is set so you flash the right image for your phone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is ADB Shell?
Adb shell is a linux command line tool (because android is based on linux) used to send commands to your android device. For S-ON devices, this is crucial for modifying files in the /system partition (where the rom sits) as you cannot modify anything in /system when the rom is running without S-OFF like removing system apps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why do I need to back up my IMEI/EFS and how do I do it?
There well protected section of your device that is virtually immune to any kind of flashing and manipulation (unless of course you know how to access it). This part of the device contains information such as IMEI (or MEID and ESN in the case of CDMA devices), programming parameters for the device such as your account information (phone number, etc), data provisioning parameters, and a whole bunch of other things that, when not handled properly, can render a device completely useless. All of these are contained in the infamous \EFS folder. If anything messes with your EFS folder, unlike flashing a device (which could potentially lead to bricks as well) it could render your device completely useless as it will no longer be recognized by your carrier. If you are not planning on flashing anything to your device and want to stay on pure Stock then you may never have any problems but it is still advisable to backup this information just in case (better to be safe than sorry).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Does flashing a custom image increase my flash counter?
Any image that is flashed via Odin that has been modified will increase the flash counter that can be viewed in the Download Mode on your device (if booted by holding the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons). You can reset the flash counter using an app by Chainfire called Triangles Away and can find instructions on how to use that in the Downloads section in the Toolkit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Will flashing Stock ROM via odin using the toolkit replace everything that was flashed before? recovery? etc?
Yes a Stock Image flashed via Odin will replace all your key partitions (boot, recovery, system) with the stock firmware. If you want to reset the phone back to an 'out of the box' state then you want to enter recovery and do a wipe first which will reformat your userdata partition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed Custom Recovery but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (requires root). Now when you flash Custom Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also do this via the Toolkit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. My AntiVirus program says the Toolkit files may be harmful
The exe compiled files are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton and AVG Free) may pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that doesn't contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Just Restore the deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine. Or switch to a better AntiVirus program such as BitDefender.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed the Toolkit Boot Image, now my wifi + bluetooth won't work
The boot images are made from Stock with only needed changes made to the insecure boot images [modified adbd, default.prop and rc.local edited] and will work on all stock roms. If you flash them to a custom rom and the rom has been altered or uses a custom boot image then it will boot but certain modules may not load such as wifi or bluetooth. In this case you can use the boot image to root or perform adb root functions but will need to flash back the boot image for the custom rom to get other functions working again. This is not a fault of the Toolkit but a difference to stock in the custom rom.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I am having trouble getting adb working with the drivers installed
Try switching your connection type from media (MTP) mode to camera mode (P2P). To do this open the notification area, click where it says connected as and change from MTP to PTP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I want to send my device back for warranty purposes
1. Follow the instructions to reset your flash counter with TriangleAway.
2. Download and flash a Stock Firmware image from the download section.
3. Boot into Stock Recovery and perform a wipe/factory reset
.
Your internal storage will be formatted and data and cache wiped. Your device should now be back to an out-of-the-box FULLY STOCK state with the flash counter [shown if you boot to download mode manually] reset and ready to send back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When connecting the phone I get 'USB Device not Recognized' and no serial number shows in the ToolKit
I actually had this problem recently and what fixed it for me was to make sure that the drivers have been installed, then shut my phone down plug the usb cable in and restart it. The phone booted up and the device was recognized and drivers installed correctly. May not work for everyone but worth trying.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. "Superuser/SuperSU has stopped" message after rooting
After updating Samsung device to newer builds of Android [4.3 and later] which contains the new security from Samsung "Samaung KNOX", you might face a problem if you tried to root your device.
This might happen because of KNOX security, it blocks/disables the Superuser app and you will see this notification after the first boot:
"Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped" or "Unfortunately, Superuser has stopped" depending on the root method you used.
The easiest way to fix this problem is by installing the superuser apk file. Select option 6 from the Rooting Section and the Toolkit will attempt to extract the superuser.apk file from the root zip file in the Root folder and if successful it will then be installed. You can then run the app [Superuser or SuperSU] from the apps list. A warning message will pop up saying Samsung KNOX has been detected and ask if you want to try and disable it. Click OK, KNOX should be disabled and your device should now be properly rooted.
Cool thing remember you from the Hd2 Era
Thanks for porting your tookit over to support our devices. Will be very useful for many
Cheers,

mskip..you may want to add that the NA models of the 705 and maybe 805 too cannot make cellular calls even though have LTE data...there have been several threads on this..most recent one in the original development section posed as a question..
this was discussed here already clarified by oldblue (am sure elsewhere too)

Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the Kit,
I'm looking for a perfectly stable ROM for Tab S 8.4 SM700. The only ROM I saw that seems stable is Iron-man. Are there any other ROM stable for SM 700?
Amazing job!
Thank you very much.
Thanks for this toolkit and for replying to my email, all working ok now.:good:
Does this tool support the SM-T800NTSSXAR ? ( 16GB Wifi US Model - also know as just the SM-T800 )?

Yes. I think there is a typo in the toolkit. It should say SMT800 instead of SMP800
Donated & THANK YOU!
Hi. Thanks for the tool, I'm looking for the root access and I'm wondering if your tool can support the newer version of Tab S 10.5 based on 5433 SoC (i.e., SM-T805K)
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&...b_s_10.5-inch_broadband_lte-a_samsung_chagall
I have this 5433 model from Korea, which the shell cmd tells me this: chagall. I could not find any root tools for this.
many thanks
Howdy-
I donated so that I could use this toolkit with my Tab S. Works great.
I also made another donation so I could use the Pro version with my Galaxy S4. Unfortunately, when the Pro version loaded up I saw it doesn't support the SCHi545 Verizon version of the phone. I immediately emailed the tool author to see if he would send back my extra donation since I could not actually use the tool for the S4 and because I had already donated for the Tab S. Been over a day and no response. I got the activation code within minutes but no reply the other way around.
I have a question, this root changes Knox to "1"???
Hi guys,
what's the meaning of [KLIMT] in "GALAXY TAB S 8.4 [KLIMT]" pl?
I hate to root my GALAXY TAB S 8.4 WIFI,16G0, is it ok with your tools?

klimt is the models of the tab s 8.4. Your exact model is SMT700 so Im pretty sure it should work. Hope this helps!
Just got done trying to root and install twrp recovery on the tab s 10.5 wifi and I can get into recovery that worked bu the device is not rooted. twrp installed supersu and then I started it and it preceded to to an update. So I go to start supersu and it give me this message
There is no SU binary installed and supersu cannot install it
Any ideas. I have rooted lots of devices and have never seen this.
Thanks.

Download a zip(google it) called supersu.zip then flash it with twrp and you will have root.

[Recovery] Official TWRP for Galaxy S6 edge (3.0.2-0)

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-1
WARNING #1: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
You generally don't have to worry, as it's incredibly hard to brick a Samsung device, and physical damage warranties should be exempt from Knox triggering.
WARNING #2: The Galaxy S6 edge (6.0+) stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys6edge.html
There is a download link there, as well as instructions on how to flash it.
I highly recommend using Odin to flash when possible.
You can find a zip containing Odin as well as a link to Samsung's Mobile drivers page here:
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/
FULL STEPS FOR ROOTING YOUR DEVICE
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
Extract Odin_3.10.7.zip to your computer.
Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
Download a .tar image of TWRP for your device variant.
Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] buttons while your device reboots.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot without touching any other options, then press [Start].
Hold [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] buttons near the end of the flash, and keep holding them until you are in recovery.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow step 12 you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
Only if you want your internal storage or data partition to work in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
If you only want a bootable system partition or readable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
** If your internal storage is encrypted, you will need to use adb sideload instead.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait up to 5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

there won't be a marshmallow G925W8 or G925T build until kernel sources are released. afaik neither of those devices have 6.0 officially yet.
they will still be using lollipop at 3.0.2-0 for now.
for others:
https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zerolte see 3.0.2-1, should be built soon on official, whenever someone confirms that everything is working ok
this includes:
adb shell
brightness slider
installing zips
formatting partitions (as ext4 and f2fs)
not crashing
backup & restore works for each partition
mtp
vibration
otg storage
whatever else you can think of checking
check on both L and M bootloaders, preferably quote my list with Y(working)/N(not working) in front of issues, and give recovery.log
I have successfully flashed the latest twrp. Though I had issues with the older one in backup restore area. Does the new do up backup and restore without error?

Help please...
Anyone found a working link for the recovery file?
Questions about TWRP versions found over some threads
I would like to know some things. Firstly say there's still nothing when you open http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys6edge.html
so, i looked up the link you gave
https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zerolte
but if I don't remember wrong, zerolte is S6 flat.
Does that kernel work anyway?
If that's so, does that mean official http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html or TWRP S6 Edge Europe Version would also work?
Why wouldn't they?
Also, what's the difference with the twrp from @arter97 found Here
with yours?
Thanks!!
I hope someone could shed some light over those questions.
Sorry for my bad english!
Nobody is answering from them here , 0 suport . Kernel from arter97 and twrp recovery from him work fine .

See my above post.
Alright, this is what I did for my S6 Edge 925F which works fine so I thought I would share it with you guys:
I flashed the latest TWRP using ODIN from this link:
http://www.arter97.com/browse/S6/ke...r97-recovery-g925fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
which is the same link given at the bottom of this post along with the instructions as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60390986&postcount=5
After rebooting the phone (which looped a couple of times), I flashed the latest SuperSU 2.71 (Beta) from ChainFire in the newly flashed TWRP which is given here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
And now I have TWRP with SuperSU. I need to mention that I rooted my phone with CF-Auto root previously so it was already rooted, but I just wanted to have custom recovery for flashing other .zip files.
I also tried the latest stable version of SuperSU first, but it had problems finding and installing binaries. But there are no problems with the latest Beta (2.71) so far.

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Update 17/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
Features:
MTP working
ADB working
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
How we got here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-time-to-getting-support-a8-2016-sm-t3511148
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
DOWNLOAD:
TWRP: twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-a810f_17417
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot

Awesome work dear if i able to buy a beer for you i must buy it
First, thanks boss @ashyx for great work. If you remember, I was first who asked yoi for twrp for this good phone. In meantime I bought it, and you make twrp. I tried it immediately and got this results :
Maybe it is important that I first done ota to newest offered AQA1 update.
Than odin flash twrp. All ok. Reboot to it and format data from wipe menu.
Hot error cant mount pcifs (maybe different name, I forgot, I can see again sorry).
Then flash supersu and patch and got same error, pcifs?
Root is working perfect but mount not. I back in twrp and see mount, it sees data. But tried some twrp install zip and got same error. And no app.
So obviously it is not mounted good...
Is there solution?
Thanks biggest

So obviously it is not mounted good...
Is there solution?
Thanks biggest

@ashyx boss strange thing, it seems it works with this error message? Look picture. I boot to twrp, data mounted, give classic backup job.
It did system and data and boot and on end message
Failed to mount cpefs.
Maybe actually it works, with this dummy message?

It's a protected partition so it can't mount. I should just remove it from the fstab.
You can just ignore it.
Thanks boss, so this is 100,% functional terp I can totally believe in backups and everything else?

I don't see why not, the main partitions are able to be backed up.
After phone user Super burn recovery and their code is the code?
I could not do it. Do you have a video? Mount data failed
Awesome work

I'd suggest installing the ADB drivers whilst in recovery mode.
Check device manager has detected it as an ADB device.
Hello ashyx adb is not working and shows adb device offline any solution please

Guides:
Be aware that Android Verified Boot requires data (including those in internal storage) to be cleared after you unlocked bootloader and flash custom binaries. ("to protect user data, all state transitions wipe the data partitions and ask the user for confirmation before data is deleted." - https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot)
It is normal to get prompts like "Integrity verification failed. You have to reset the device to factory settings."
However, this will only happen when there is "state transition" so only when you switch from locked to unlocked or vice versa.
Since Android O, Samsung introduced a new security feature, Remote Mobile Manager (RMM) aka Remote Lock Control (RLC). This feature allows stronger theft protection but unfortunately it also imposes a burden on users like you.
Samsung added a 7-day buffer period for enterprises or device owners to spot a missing/rogue device so they can use this feature to lock the device remotely.
In this 7-day (Prenormal) period, you can NOT flash any custom binaries including but not limited to this TWRP. OEM Unlock option won't appear, either.
(You will meet "custom binary blocked due to remaining installment balance" or "custom binary not allowed" error when you try)
The 7-day timer will start/reset once you completed the setup wizard. After 7 days (168 hours), RLC service will send an inquiry to Samsung's server. If your device is "clean", the RMM state will become "Normal".
Then you can enable "OEM Unlock" option and flash TWRP. Be careful, DO NOT reboot to a stock ROM before you flash patch in part 2 of this guide or you will have to go through another
Whether you have RMM problem or not depends on your model, region and/or carrier.
If you don't have any wait period to enable OEM Unlock option, congratulations but please do NOT mislead other people.
NOT EVERYONE IS AS LUCKY AS YOU.
If you don't have RMM problem when you get the device, it is unlikely that you will get any RMM problems later.
But note that this problem applies to MAJORITY of people.
Note that the special patch will freeze RMM, FRP and OEM lock state.
This is an anti-stupid measure to prevent careless users from enabling security measures which are not compatible with custom binaries.
Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings, remove all Samsung and Google accounts and if your device is registered to an enterprise, de-register it.
3. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
Notice: This is "state transition" mentioned eailier.
NOTE: You will be asked to do a factory reset, that's normal.
BUT DO NOT LET IT COMPLETE THE WHOLE RESET PROCESS.
You should take a look at the whole guide and be prepared to use reboots as chances to flash or reboot into TWRP.
4. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
5. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
6. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
7. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
8. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
9. Connect your phone.
10. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
11. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP:
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO".
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the special dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage.
Now you may want to flash a root solution (Magisk, SuperSU, etc) or custom ROM but keep in mind that:
1. This thread does NOT provide technical support to any root solution or ROM unless the problem is DIRECTLY related to TWRP and there is no other solution without modifying TWRP itself.
Please contact developer of respective ROM or root solution for technical support.
2. Samsung implemented security measures such as "Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP)" and "RKP Control Flow Protection". https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog/real-time-kernel-protection-rkp
Those security measures are intended to block control flows such as privilege escalation, memory kernel code modification, etc which are not authorized by Samsung.
If those are not disabled, processes (such as daemon of root solutions) that violated those security rules will fall into deadlock.
Deadlocked processes will then consume large amount of resources (leads to performance issues, battery drains) and eventually crash the system.
Technically it is possible to disable those security measures by hex editing stock kernel but just simply flash a custom kernel is better in my opinion.
TL;DR: Flash custom kernel before root or be screwed.
Awesome work Jesse. Thank you!
Has anybody flash it on a galaxy s9+?

I did try it on my Exynos S9+ but it didnt work. Maybe im doing something wrong. Odin says PASS! Then the S9+ reboots but hangs on: Verification error. Cant reboot device. The integrity verification didnt succeed. U have to reset the device to factory settings. Bla bla bla. And the option to reset. By the way, my device os is in dutch so i did try to translate the notification on the screen of the phone.

Please boot to recovery instead of system.

Got twrp installed formatted data, rebooted twrp, do we need Dm-Verity? If so how to get it on as MTP is not working, or OTG, and system bootloop so can't get back in to do it that way.

FAQ / Further reading
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware.
Q: I get "Failed to mount /preload message", what to do?
A: From wipe menu select Advanced Wipe, select preload partition to be wiped and reboot recovery.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

I think I have a similar problem. These were my steps:
flashed TWRP through Heimdall
booted into TWRP
wiped data
flashed the no verity opt encrypt zip
flashed LineageOS (official nightly from May 1st), gapps and Magisk
After that I booted the system and encryption was forced during boot. When I rebooted into recovery I was prompted to enter the password, which was not successful (decrypt failed because it took too long).
Before all that I was running an official and up-to-date Android 10 Samsung (April security patch).
Hi. I need emergency help. I'm new on s9+ & flashed twrp as well formatted data partition then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 but whenever entered to system then returned to recovery mode then i lost internal storage again again & again. Please help me. I'm on latest android 10 firmware.
Hi ?
Will you update the SHRP to latest TWRP Base ?
And will be very good if you will support the Orange Fox Recovery
I like those two recoveries because of password protection and they have more features…
Thanks for your work for our devices!
Seems the dl link isn't working. I tried connecting to the dl site on my phone and my PC and both returned with a "This site can't be reached" error.
I just tried contacting TeamWin through the contact form on the TWRP website and it seems as though the submit file for the form was deleted.
Could I live WITHOUT disabling encryption via flashing no-verify? I want to have my /data encrypted.
Hi Mate just wondering would this working with a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus
Model SM-G96F
Android version 10
One UI version 2.1
Cheers

So are you saying that LOS does not support disabling encryption? I tried the whole procedure multiple times and it seems that the patch fails because the fstab entries are not found in LOS.
Could an encrypted data partition cause issues recognizing the sim card? I find this hard to imagine, but I have both issues pretty persistently.
Cheers
The OP says:
Download TWRP_*.tar
Switch off the phone
Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab
I've downloaded twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img.tar (as recommended elsewhere for my S9) but how do I do the last part?
What is TWRP_*.tar.md5 file? How do I get it?
Is there anyone who got TWRP 3.4.0 working with encryption on a Samsung Galaxy S9?
My experiences after 1 hard week:
1. On Stock: TWRP always showed an unlock option via PIN, but it was never able to decrypt (neither default_password, nor disabling lockscreen, nor setting another PIN/Password in locksetings helped)
2. On Magisk: TWRP never showed an unlock option & was never able to decrypt
3. Only option was to disabled encryption --> the old encryption disabler from OP doesn't work, updated Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020 has to be used ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...rceencrypt-t3817389/post77091359#post77091359 ) --> patter lock & fingerprint cannot be used in the future
A little disappointing considering that the unlock option of TWRP & changelog suggests that decrypting should work.
@moocou
BTW: Put TWRP_*.tar file into AP tab
