Hey all you need to do is wipe data partition by changing it's file format.
For that do the usual routing stuff.
Boot into Twrp
Formata Data -- Yes---
Flash RMM
Wipe--- Advanced -- data -- change/repair--- choose the one left of f2fs --- wipe --- f2fs now --- wipe --- back
Install magisk
Boom
Let me know if video is needed.

Stuck at TWRP after OTA

Hi Guys,
I'm stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off, but wil still boot in TWRP
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditionally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (or was I to hasty? )
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!
Not helping:
Saying i'm a dipsh-t I know, I know, I will do better in the future, for now, help a brother out please

use the toolkit as a last resort. use adb and flash via fastboot twrp 3.0.4-1

unlocked working bootloader but unable to flash anything...

houston we have a problem...
5 bucks for any good idea!
I have an old xt1068 (titan) that after an (official) update it becames a small brick... (it was stock, no modded bootloader or whatevere, just stock!)
today I decided to give it a chance but then only thing I reach is the bootloader
whatever thing (official retail firmware) I try to flash it doesn't work...
so I unlocked the bootloader with success to give a try a custom rom but suddenly I get a issue...
I can't install latest twrp (I tried also a couple of older ones), I can only boot trough (latest) twrp but whatever rom I install I get error7
I noticed that when it reboots the content (/sdcard /data and /system) is untouched even if from shell I can remount rw... it seems that I can delete but in reality I don't delete anything
I tried almost everything... if I try to re-stock upon reboot I reach the dead android robot
the device is an xt1068, bootloader 48.87 (30.06.2016), unlocked (status code 3)
any (good) ideas?
O this thing is happened to me , i has on stock 5.0 and i updated to a new version ,but after i get only bootloop so i unlocked the bootloader and flash the latest twrp , and if i try to install any custom rom twrp give me some partition are corrupt. Enter in TWRP open WIPE > Advanced Wipe > (check your corrupt partition ,in my case is the data) > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Ext3 or Ext4 > Swipe to Change (if this don't work try olso resize partition or repair partition)

no way... I tried but nothing changes... it seems that partitions are read-only
anyway I'm not able to flash twrp (no error it just doesn't install), I can only boot twrp but again nothing changes, I tried soon after booting twrp to gain root trought supersu/magisk, all works without error but upon reboot partitions aren't touched at all
I have the exact same issue on the exact same phone.
However, what I have noticed is the fact that after SuperSu is flashed (Booting through TWRP recovery once), it doesn't actually flash at all. But what surprised me was that after the flashing, the phone reboots instead of taking me back to the recovery.
A good idea would be that maybe the bootloader isn't actually unlocked for everything. Maybe the company making the device just doesn't want us to get a new one.
In any case, I never give. I will keep trying.

The solution is simply using a different TWRP version. I had mentioned my concerned earlier and I was right. We wer einitially flashing a wrong TWRP in the device and hence the problem. I found the solution in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_9vkJvzWcU
However, the TWRP and Su can be found here if the guy who uploaded the video has deleted it:

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][ROOT] TWRP for Galaxy A70

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Code:
[I]#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this recovery
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*
*/[/I]
I’d recommend to read everything in this post, if you care about your expensive phone.
Let’s start with the installation process
If you already unlocked your bootloader, start with step 3.
If you are already rooted, start with step 4.
If you already installed a previous version of TWRP, start with step 4.
If you already have TWRP installed and just want to root, start with step 5.
First you need to unlock your bootloader. You can do so by enabling developer settings first, enable oem unlocking, then shut down your phone, hold volume up and down at the same time and while holding them plugin your charger. Your phone now should show a green screen with instructions to unlock the bootloader. Just follow them and after the unlocking your data should get wiped. After that your device will boot up and land in setup screen. Do not setup anything, just skip as much as possible, because your phone will get wiped again. Enable developer settings and make sure oem unlocking is greyed out and enabled. (If it does not show up, connect to a network first!)
Now you need to overwrite vbmeta partition, so you can flash third party partitions. Download vbmeta.tar then go into download mode on your device. Put vbmeta.tar to AP in Odin, click start. This should finish pretty quickly, so pay attention when your device reboots, because you need to boot into recovery (Hold power and volume up after the screen turns black). When booted into recovery, wipe your data and reboot normally into system. Now you can setup your phone as usual and make sure oem unlocking is still greyed out and enabled!
Time to flash recovery. Download (link is at the end of this post) the latest version as zip and extract it. You should end up with one single file named recovery.img. Pack it as tar with 7zip or any other compression tool you prefer. This packed tar file should only contain recovery.img and nothing else, also make sure the name is still recovery.img, otherwise Odin will refuse to flash it. In Odin put the tar file in AP and simply hit start. Congrats you now have TWRP installed!
(Optional) You might have lost root access by flash TWRP if you followed this standard guide for rooting. If you did lose it and want to gain root access again (you can also root your device with this method, even when you never rooted your device), download the latest Magisk Manager from the canary channel and install the apk to your phone.
If you are on stock:
Push the recovery.img file you just download for TWRP to your phone. Open Magisk Manager and hit install and patch a file. Select recovery.img and Magisk should start the patching process. Once Magisk is done, boot into TWRP. Backup your boot partition first and afterwards go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work. If you run into issues after this, go into TWRP and restore the boot partition you backed up previously.
If you are on an AOSP based rom:
Reboot to TWRP. Create a backup with boot partition. Reboot back to system, then open Magisk and hit install and patch a file. Locate the TWRP backup folder and look up your backup you just created. Select boot.emmc.win for patching. Once Magisk is done, reboot back to TWRP. Go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work. If you run into issues after this, go into TWRP and restore the boot partition you backed up previously.
So that was the easy part. The hard part is to completely read these following points!
Encryption/Decryption
Decryption works on this TWRP release, but only partially. That means you have to open the Settings Application first on your phone and disable a feature called strong protection. You can find it in Settings->Biometrics and security>Other security settings. It doesn’t matter when you disable it. Flash TWRP first and disable it, fine. Disable it and flash TWRP afterwards, fine. Never disable it, also fine, TWRP just fails to decrypt your data, but won’t do any harm. When this feature gets turned off, the device will generate a key which doesn't require any authentication for decryption, currently only this allows TWRP to decrypt the data partition successfully. This only applies to stock roms though, if you are using an AOSP based rom, then you don't have to do any of this.
Disabling decryption
Disabling decryption will create many problems. First TWRP will refuse to unmount system partition and thus you might run into problems flashing various zips. So I advise you to not disable decryption. If you still want to disable it you have to open terminal in TWRP and type in "stop servicemanager" everytime you want to unmount the system partition.
Backup and Restore
Because of encryption it's more complicated to backup your data partition.
If you want to backup data you have to make sure TWRP successfully decrypted your internal storage, otherwise you will run into problems backing up.
Restoring is even more complicated. Every time you set up a rom, new crypto keys will be generated and you can't backup these. That means if you want to restore data you have to restore the whole rom first excluding data. Format data partition completely, boot it up, then go back to TWRP and restore data. You will lose your internal storage, so I'd recommend you move important stuff to external storage.

Recovery image size
For some reason the ramdisk has a size limit, so I used LZMA compression to get its size down as much as possible.
During kernel compilation you will run into a DTC error. Apparently Samsung didn’t bother to update their DTC source in the kernel and you have to use their precompiled binary. I edited my kernel sources to automatically use their dtc binary.

TWRP version is 3.3.1
actual firmware is A705FNXXU3ASG6_A705FNOXM3ASG6_BTU (july security patch) (United kingdom)
prev. firmware was A705FNXXU1ASE4_A705FNOXM1ASE4_XEF (may security patch) (France)
edit 1 : the ui freeze completly when phone is booted up , had to flash all back
i'm going to flash A705FNXXU1ASD1_A705FNOXM1ASD1_BTU (april security patch) (United kingdom) and see if it boot correctly...
edit 2 : cant flash previous firmware due to 'security reasons' ,i flashed back stock recovery, it doesnt freeze anymore, i guess we will have to wait for a custom kernel
cant you use this to flash GSI images and then use magisk? or does that not bypass the boot image problem?

How to install TWRP can anyone tell step by step....

Can I get root with pie of the Japanese version SM-N960J / D?

I own the Japanese version of Note9 SM-N960D (SC-01L) SM-N960J (SCV40).
Currently using 9.0 pie.
I want to get the route, but when I wipe with TWRP, I fall into the boot loop.:crying:
Even if you install Magisk and RMM-State_Bypass, it will not start.
I also installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip or no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip.
Does anyone know how to get root of this Note9 terminal and start it?

you might need to flash a custom kernel( or at least a patched one after data format. or it will just bootloop)
also please read dr ketans guide in the general discussion section and use method 1.

Thank you for your reply.
Which kernel should be rewritten?
Which discussion page is [dr ketans guide in the use method 1]?

Thank you for teaching me.
However, TWRP freezes during installation of "N960F_DS_N_PIE_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip" and cannot be installed.
what should I do?

I tried the following:
1. Burn carrier genuine ROM with Odin
2. Launch download mode again and write [TWRP_3.2.3-0_N9600_beta3.tar.md5] with Odin
3.TWRP immediately after Method 2
4.Wipe → FORMAT DATA → yes with TWRP
5.Reboot to recovery mode and mount system etc.
6.Install → microSD card menu → “N960F_DS_N_PIE_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip” → Install
Freeze the installation screen.
The terminal I am using is snapdragon.

oh snapdragon really? that's why. i thought the japanese model was Exynos. very sorry for that mistake.
then please go to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77721998&postcount=2
there is guidance in that post towards the end regarding twrp and root.
also i think if you flash twrp, boot to twrp, flash decryption fix then format, reboot back to twrp and then flash latest patched kernel:

(taken from mentalmuso's thread i linked)
to flash .img choose install image button in twrp then select kernel.img then select destination partition:
boot

Thank you for your kindness! Made progress. But there is a new problem.
After installing the WETA kernel, TWRP and Magisk were able to boot in a retained state.
However, there is a problem, and after restarting, a green screen of security error is displayed and it cannot be started.
Next, after installing the kernel, I installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip and Magisk.
While holding TWRP and Magisk, I was able to start and restart without any problems.
However, if NFC cannot be used and PIN code lock is applied, the lock cannot be released at all even if the correct PIN code is entered.
Please give me advice.

Thanks, Bob! Just like @neoquor, I am using a Snapdragon Note 9 (SCV40/SM-N960J) from the carrier au. I was able to successfully boot with the firmware of another Japanese carrier variant SM-N960D/SC-01L (carrier DoCoMo) and @klabit87 's N9600 klabit kernel.
Following the Magisk installation instructions from @topjohnwu 's GitHub, my installation was a bit windy (trial-and-error), but I (1) launched Odin and flashed my Magisk-patched SC-01L AP binary along with BL, CP, and CSC; and (2) after falling into the bootloop, I flashed klabit's official N9600 TWRP build, and (3) flashed klabit's N9600 kernel.
After that, success--finally! Dekita!

Thanks, Bob!
With this, Snapdragon Note 9 (SCV40 / SM-N960J) did not reach the boot loop and succeeded in rooting!
However, when I start it, "It's a non-genuine kernel" is displayed and I can't start some apps I want to use.
What should i do?

Dear NeoQuor, did you find any solution ?
I have the same problem I I flashed patched magisk with boot.img file it is flashed 100% but I'm not able to boot to android. it keeps restarting on the boot loop.
I just found one source this guy he is able to root SCV40
https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=77034
i look forward to a solution for my phone to be rooted.
regards,
Sher
I also have SCV40, and the only reason I need to root my SCV40 because I need to edit and rewrite ro.confiq.tima=1 to 0 so that I'll be able to use S-Health, but in the end I can't root my SCV40, It is impossible, but I did rooting my friend's Note9 and it work well. I guess there's still no one can root SCV40 Until today.

You need to either format data partition or format all. First try the former.

As per my knowledge there's no way around it.
the best you can do is to flash AP from odin along with HOME_CSC and then back everything up in either Samsung Cloud or Google Drive.Even though I haven't tried that option, it must work,if it doesnt dont point at me. But i'm more than open to help.
Same problem
Im on Android 10, I was trying to root using Magisk & TWRP as mentioned in other XDA Post.
Title:: "[RECOVERY] TWRP 3.3.0 for Galaxy M20"
----By DarkLord1731, Senior Member on 3rd March 2019, 08:54 AM
Even after multiple attempts, I also was unable to install
---no-verity-opt-encrypt, as well as---RMM Bypass zip using TWRP.
It kept on failing even when i tried different versions.
-------------
Later on when i tried flashing SuperSU , phone got bootlocked
