sorry if duplicate, couldn't find any answers...
Can you root G955F without installing TWRP?
I'd like to know that too
Hi,
Yes with CF-Auto-Root you keep the stock recovery, you'll need to be on AQDG firmware: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ (search for the SM-G955F file), device will be wiped. Reported working in French forum, just need to do a full wipe manually when the phone ask to after reboot and reflash CF-Auto-Root, after that all will be fine.

Yess.. easier is to check zip. In it is tar.md5. This you can flash via DownMod Odin.
Full Wipe

Hello hoglak
I have a 920I and was also having the same problem.
I solved the problem flashing the latest version of the rom from SamMobile site.
After flashing the rom your TWRP should work.

Thanks in advance
I just used the New Zealand firmware.

I had the same problem. The latest firmware for unbranded (XSA) Australia on sammobile is AOC4. I had success with using the Singapore unbranded (XSP) firmware AOD1.
Flash AOD1 with Odin then you have stock everything. You should be able to flash TWRP 2.8.6.2 with Odin and boot successfully into Custom recovery.
You can either take two options from here.
Flash CF-Root and "just root" the stock ROM - Boot into Download (again) and then flash the CF Root.
Flash a ROM or a Mod which has Root included. - My first success was Wiping with stock recovery, flashing AOD1 clean with Odin, then flashing WanamMod on top of it as it included root.
Aussie G920i.
Hope this helps.

Hello. I've been using android 6.0 for a while now, but I'm not very fond of it, and I'd like to downgrade back to 5.1.1 stock so I can root and install custom Roms.
I've searched and found nothing, so how do I it?
Downloading UK 920F firmware gives me a zip file with 5 different files. Are there any particular order I must flash them with odin?
what are the files?
AP_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
BL_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_BTU_G920FBTU3COJ1_CL5868306_QB6555338_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
So, 4 files.
I just want to get back to 5.1.1 so I can root and install xtrestolite without any problems.
thats how i did it
try downloading this zip
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/62892/G920FXXU3QOLD_G920FTEF3QOL1_VIA
extract it and flash the .tar.md5 over odin (AP)
reboot to downloadmode and flash the twrp recovery
boot into recovery
(backup optional)
wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data
now flash the xtrestolite in the recovery and reboot
But I need to flash bootloader and modem also, since I was on 6.0?
no i think that's all included in the .tar.md5
How do I know that the version you linked me is the right one for me?
you have an sm-g920f ?
Yes, unbranded.
so i'm no developer but i have the same device and i did it in the same way so why shouldn't it work?
Did you downgrade from 6.0 aswell?
Want to give an update:
The best way to do this is using Samsung Smart Switch and following the instructions when plugging in the phone.
Problem solved.

Now I am on 6.0.1 beta. Does this trip the KNOX counter? I must downgrade to 5.1.1 to claim warranty
you dont need to flash 5 files. Just flash OI9 BL，and then flash 2.8.7.1 twrp. then flash 5.1.1 custom rom
Hi Guys.
I've reached a state of confusion reading about OTA-updates, TWRP and root. My question question is this:
I installed TWRP, flashed the verity opt encryption kernel and rooted my G930F. Everything works and all is good. But with the new Chainfire AUTO-ROOT (is it X.72?) OTA-updates has been disabled.
I'm confused about the reason for this. Does this mean that I risk bricking my phone if I at some point in timez deside to flash stock rom via ODIN? Or will this just replace TWRP with original recovery and overwrite root?
Sorry for my noob-mind. I'm new to Samsung devices.
Best regards.
If you flash stock rom via Odin TWRP will be deleted and stock recovery will be installed. You will also lose root privileges. Make sure you have a backup before flashing stock via Odin. Once restored stock rom via odin follow same steps you took the first time you rooted your phone.

SamFirm 0.3.6.0
Odin Odin3 v3.12.7
Open SamFirm
Paste in Model SM-G920F
Region DBT
Mark Auto
Click to check Update
Mark decrypt auto
then download.
find the odin flashable stock Rom at the same folder SamFirm, unzip.
flash "G920FXXU6ERF5_G920FDBT6ERF1_G920FXXU6ERF6_HOME.tar" in odin as AP
and your S6 will live again
but if Knoxx is tripped, its forever...
Hey! I have found a website that provides stock roms. I have installed one and my phone is factory new. I even get OTA updates and everything is official. the only thing about my phone is that i tripped knox lol. the website is
updato
I then found a "how to install an officialsamsung stock firmware using odin" and followed that guide
The rom I downloaded and flashed using Odin is here (just copy and paste this at the end of updato
firmware-archive-select-model?record=583A76F4915811E89F15FA163EE8F90B
the way i did it was wipe the usual stuff when you want to flash a custom rom but instead you use the stock ROM. only down point is that it puts your recovery back to stock to. So if you want twrp again just flash it and it should be good to go
if i could post links i would so if you want them then message me and i will link things to you.
Yes I just answered my own question. A thanks would be appreciated

hello guys!
I have a SM-G950FD (ZTO) rooted by magisk and TWRP recovery.
I need to perform updates by flash a zip or donwload via odin.
The problem is: when I try to update a firmware downloaded on Sammobile (tar.md5) via Odin it changes my recovery causing to lose all data.
This happen because on firmware that I donwload on Sammobile have a stock recovey included. Otherwise, if I use HOME_CSC will also cause lose data because of change on recovery.
I try a lot of things like, remove recovery file from the tar.md5, also try use Abyssal Kitchen, but I can't have sucess.
I ask for help plz! I just need upgrade my firmware without lose data by flash a update.zip or donwload a .tar via Odin using a firmware that I donwload from Sammobile.
Kind regards!
