I've been looking around for a custom recovery available for my Galaxy s7 Sm-G930U. But for some reason I cant find any information on it about CWM recovery. I found that TWRP will not work with the snapdragon(sm-G930U) S7 variant . Does anyone by chance know if CWM is compatible with my device? Is there any alternative? I would like to flash magisk since I no longer trust SuperSu

Hello all,
I am receiving tomorrow my new Samsung S6 and i want to know some things.
- Unlocking bootloader (how to and link?) - have searched a bit and you need ODIN. but what is the best version etc
- Installing TWRP3.0 (how-to) - where to find the latest TWRP for samsung s6
And than one of the most important question, is there a stock android that doesent have any buys and fc's????
Bootloader is not locked on S6 (except AT&T variant)
You can get latest ODIN from here;
http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
If you want to install TWRP on it;
1- Update it to Marsmallow if you haven't
2- Install this TWRP via ODIN;
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
3- Boot up to TWRP and flash this ZIP before do anything on TWRP;
https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

Wouldn't this order make more sense so he had a backup in case something goes wrong?
Also, here are the threads for TWRP and SuperSU for the S6 on XDA:

No, and there probably won't be any for a long time, but there are lots of TouchWiz-based custom ROMs.
so basicly i dont need any customezation? because you telling me there will not be released a custom stock rom? Even a CM13 rom
thats poor services!
Uhm

Correct. The only custom ROMs availability now and the foreseeable future are based on TouchWiz, not AOSP Android or CyanogenMod.

He need dm-verity disabled boot image for working TWRP backups. That's why I suggest him to install this ZIP.
While reading topics on the internet (google)
If you THE smartphone update to 6.0 you do not need to unlock the bootloader. is this correct?
For now i will not use TWRP because there isent a proper ROM for the S6. is this because the exynoss CPU? because QSD cpu's have always the better support for CM..

As I said before, there's no bootloader unlock because bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices.
If you want root, you should to use TWRP for install the latest SuperSU.
Yes, there's no CM ROM for Exynos 7420 right now. Maybe in future? Who knows...
is there a twrp that works because the original twrp that i download form twrp.me isent working getting a weird issue: recovery is not seandroid enforcing

i tried to install it, used the AP method in Odin.
But when i want to go in TWRP recovery i get the stock recovery! How to solve this issue
I'm having this issue as well on the T-Mobile variant. I have tried the unchecking auto reboot option in Odin and manually going to recovery. When I successfully flash according to Odin, I can't not get past the Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing boot.

I did figure this out, check this post for how I did it.
So most of the details of my problem is already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66583532&postcount=2171
Extra info: I'm running on Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 on 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with 0 knox trips. I've never rooted this phone before so there's that. I've tried installing all the twrp 3.0.2 versions from the teamwin site but to no avail.
Don't use official one from twrp. You have to use the one of arter97.
http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/13.1/g920fi/
Not sure if that works for the w8 variant.
Don't use that arter one because it's not specific to your variant of the S6 and could cause problems. I also have a G920W8 and I also could not get TWRP to work, if I remember correctly , I rooted it by flashing the correct CF root tar file, then installed flashify from the play store and installed TWRP from there, try that and tell me how it goes.
Since I'm a new user XDA wont let me post links yet but just navigate to the CFautoroot site and nagivate down until you see the download for G920W8
I am having issues trying to root my Galaxy Note Edge with the following build number:
N915GXXS1DPK2
It has Marshmallow 6.0.1 installed. I try to flash CF root via Odin and it gets to what I think is the last step and fails. I have read a few people saying on other sites that the bootloader needs to be unlocked for it to work and others make no mention of it. I have attempted it several times and have tried using various USB ports but to no avail. Would it be easier trying to flash another ROM in order for it to work and if so, what would I use?
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere
By the look of it, you got a stock rom, wich provider do you have? I have Telstra for a while now and newer had a locked boot loader,
I'm not sure about the other providers but I believe there BL are not locked either...
to get root on your phone, the best way is, install a custom recovery (preferable TWRP) with Odin, and then flash the latest super su

this one worked for me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/twrp-915fy-915tmo-moment-t3129459
look for your variant, G, get the tar file, not the zip file, if you have problems with the latest version, try V3.0
I have Galaxy S6 (920F) with Android Nougat.
I have managed to install TWRP Recovery on my device and it is allowing me to install .zip files. But my phone is Not ROOTED.
So my question is,
If I flash .zip(s) now that are made for my device, will it be installed successfully?
or my device will stuck on bootloop?
Well, if you are flashing some files into directories that don't require root to access, it will work.
But lets say you want to flash ported system app (like message app). It will not work, since it requires flashing into \system and that directory requires root to be accessed and modified. :good:

Nah man, you flash twrp with odin
here you go
How did u manage to install twrp on sm-g920f ??
I am on 4.4.2 and have root access with SuperSU installed and Knox disabled. Trying to install TWRP by flashing from the app. When I attempt to boot into recovery I get an AT&T messasge showing it's an unknown recovery. I can boot back into main but not into recovery.
I'm just trying to install TWRP so I can possible install LineageOS 14.1. I know getting an LTE version isn't the best idea but it was cheap, just want to be on Nougat.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well I'll just keep it on stock 5.1. Sucks but got it for dirt cheap and doubt I'll find a Wi-Fi model for cheap.
