So, there is a LOT of fuss going on with Oreo Beta.
We all want the latest version of Android and it;s not easy, as Samsung definitely step-ed up their game this year.
We won't have any Odin flashable ZIP combo this year, and it gets really frustrating trying to get into the beta nowadays.
//===============
This is where this thing comes in :
First of all, the version you are on DOES NOT MATTER.
Secondly, you need TWRP in a working state.
Thirdly, BACKUP EFS. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong. This works on my device, but I cannot be responsible if ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
If you cannot mount /data, format your data from TWRP, but backup everything before.
The following steps are to be used using internal data, even if it probably does not matter, let's keep it simple shall we.
These steps will format your INTERNAL STORAGE. BACKUP ALL YOUR PICTURES ETC ETC.
Also Mount points seems to be different in Oreo, so TWRP is not able to mount /data at all.
Once TWRP has formated data, choose reboot, and reboot to recovery.
From there, once TWRP has rebooted, proceed to make a short and simple backup, for boot.img for exemple.
This step ensures you have correct folder structure and all.
Plug your phone to your computer, and browse through it.
Go to TWRP/Backups/somerandomnumbersandletters/
Paste the extracted folder that I provided in the .rar
Go back to main TWRP menu, choose restore
Restore the boot and system from there.
Wait for it to be done, and reboot.
This has DM Verity off, and will boot for sure. The boot literally takes ages. On the first try I almost gave up before I've seen the LED turning off and system starting.
And it also has Knox turned off.
It is a dirty method, but it does work, and with this you can have Oreo as a daily driver.
Oh, and there is no root. I've heard SuperSU works flawlessly, but did not try as I am fine without it.
Enjoy.

A little bit of change for the installation, sorry about that :
Restore TWRP backup,
Flash https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
I forgot to change the build.prop before making the backup, so this will boot but will reboot randomly.

If you have TWRP, and ready to sacrifice a bit of time, and if you have all your data backed up, yes you can proceed with that.
running oreo finally. Just stick to the steps and it will work!
Yup
So I need only TWRP and time back up its not necessary for me nothing important on phone I will try this Oreo tomorrow but it's worth? I now it's beta but we love tested roms

It works quite well, but Touchwizz launcher has issues, that's the only software bug I've experienced for now, that can be directly implicated from the beta itself.

| ★GUIDE★HOW★TO★ | ★UPDATE★ | ★Dec.30.2013★ |
In order for me to help u ....i need to know from which part that u don't understand.....as per XDA rules u need to READ before posting ....... STOCK phone is always recommended ......let's start with the easier way:
1. Put update.zip in your Sd Card
2. Reboot phone to recovery by power off your phone. Use combo Button ( VolUp+Home key+Power button) hold them together and when u feel vibration let go power button while still holding VolUP and Home key .....and then u would see samsung galaxy S4 black splash screen and small tiny reboot recovery..... on top left and u can let go both Vol Up and Home key......that's should bring u to android stock recovery.
3. choose apply update from external sd card.......yes to confirm ...... and reboot system when is done or it might reboot automatic.....Woollaa.....now u have 4.3 android MK2 firmware
But If doesn't work you need do these following in order for u to do adb sideload command:
4. U need Samsung USB driver install to your PC ......Install SAMSUNG KIES and plug your phone, it will install latest driver for your phone
5. Make sure u unable USB debugging mode on ur phone.....go to menu>settings>more> it should be on top of about device
( Developer options ) but if u dont have it go to about device and click build number 4/5 time....so that will unable developer options and CHECK USB DEBUGGING.
6. Make sure u have latest ADB ( Android Debugging Bridge ) version 1.0.31.... ANDROID SDK
7. Reboot to recovery>Apply Update From ADB....
8. Go to your PC>>>ADB folder>Shift+Right Click>Open Command Window Here
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb sideload update.zip[/COLOR][/B]
Well u might already knew all these step.......and hopefully this will get u to start.... if not, please PM me if u need anymore help.....

gtj0 said:
OK, If you're stuck with an incomplete flash, here are some steps you can try to get to MJ9...
These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

FOR >>>>>MK2 FULL ODIN FILES<<<<<
Downloading the file seems to be the whole 728MB Rom file and not just the small file to update from MJ9 to MK2, so I'd love to know if you know if this will just update after flashed or if it wipes all your data, I just created a new thread asking for something like this and explaining why I don't want to wipe and just prefer to Update.
If someone can confirm if flashing this will just update without wiping I'd appreciate it, thanks in advance.

I definitely remember the official MK2 OTA from at&t was over 700MB when I got it, so the size seems right. Plus full TW Roms are usually >1GB anyway.
adb sideload and it should just update and not wipe, but can't confirm this myself - already on mk2.

OK, I'm just saying that the Full MK2 that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, the one to update from 4.2.2 to MK2 skipping MJ9 was that size, and I've read that the OTA update for the people already on MJ9 was 25 or 28MB, just a small update.

I think you're right, the MJ9 to MK2 was a small one but didn't you say you're on MF3 now? So this would be the file you need to get to MK2. And I'm almost positive this won't wipe data if you adb sideload, googling seems to confirm.

Problem is that I'm not root now, to be honest, this is a phone that is paid by my Company and I wasn't suppose to do anything with it, so when I decided to jump from 4.2.2 to 4.3 I knew that it was going to cost me the Root, but I decided that I needed to do it anyways, so for now, until further notice, I won't root.
So as you can see my phone is completely Stock, and I'm still getting the Software Interrupted error every time I try to update via OTA, so I don't see any other option but to try to sideload this update, problem is that without Titanium Backup, I will lose all my Data and I'm not willing to go though all the pain to restore all of it from scratch. So my mind is set just to do what I need to just Update without wiping.
So, if anybody try this, please, can you let us know here if you lose your data or if it just updates. Thanks a lot.

OK Just to satisfy my curiosity, I downloaded the whole file again, and try to sideload it on my MJ9 phone and it immediately error out, this file seems to be the same than the other one in the other thread, it will work only only if you are on 4.2.2. So for me and anybody else trying to update from 4.3 MJ9 to MK2, it's still a no go.

Yes, that's what it's called sideload and that's what I tried earlier but like I mentioned then, it errors out immediately, and at least you can see that it's clearly asking for 4.2.2.
One more thing, I just hanged up with AT&T, the Technical Support checked everything there and it seems that everything should be in place for me to get the update, they did something and asked me to try it again, as soon as I enter the Update Menu I saw a message saying something like DZ initialization, I have seen that just before we get the OTA, so I asked her and she told me that it was because of what she did, so I should be good to get any update available, and as soon as I tried it I got the same old Software Update Interrupted.
She told me that they will call me tomorrow with other more advanced technical Department to try to see what may be causing this.
I'll give them a quick look over, but I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon using these until somebody more versed then me confirms it's legit.
They look legit, but it's for normal recovery mode not Odin in case anyone was trying to do that.

Yeah your right, I'm not thinking properly... kept forgetting these are the update files, not restore files. Though I assume they could be turned into Odin files given the right person.
For those of you with my same issue, updated to mj9 and getting errors while trying to update to Mk2, . Please follow my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573637 and look for the link on post #3, finally found the update file and I'm already at MK2.

**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the G900V Verizon S5 variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Download:
- G900V_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM
- G900V_OC4_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- G900V_OC4_TetherAddOn (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash zip or ota" option).
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC4.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset. If you prefer not to wipe User Data replace the Updater-Script in the ROM's META-INF/com/google/android folder with the version attached to this post (remove ".txt" extension before placing in folder). Bear in mind that carrying over incompatible User Data from a prior Android version may cause issues.
4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Let's just say the initial 5.0 release had a few bugs. Let's hope this release works better.
Thanks. I did your previous update with this method, and it worked great. Can you give the steps that are needed to get to where you need to be to now install this update? I think I know, but I'm not sure. Also, what about apps and settings? It does not seem they are preserved. It looks like the previous write up has been edited and no longer includes these steps. I had no problems with this part. Is it still an option to do that? Thanks for the awesome work!

So this will work fine updating if on rooted 0A8?
I would assume we could do a data backup, then restore data after flashing is done
So there's no need to flash a firmware or kernel in Odin after flashing the rom? Are we still going to be on 0A8 baseband? Or should we flash the OC4 kernel?

Correct, all necessary OC4 partitions including the kernel, modem, etc are included in the ROM.

Only recommended if your Data backup is from 5.0. Those updating from 4.4 should not restore Data for compatibility reasons.

Thanks. I did your previous update with this method, and it worked great. Can you give the steps that are needed to get to where you need to be to now install this update? I think I know, but I'm not sure. Also, what about apps and settings? It does not seem they are preserved. It looks like the previous write up has been edited and no longer includes these steps. I had no problems with this part. Is it still an option to do that? Thanks for the awesome work!

Only recommended if your Data backup is from 5.0. Those updating from 4.4 should not restore Data for compatibility reasons.

No worries, good luck with SS.
Also fyi.....there is a guy in the N900V forum that has developed a safestrap replacement called multisystem. He is waiting for 5.0 before releasing and claims it will work on 5.0. If so, it can likely be easily ported to the S5.
Got it. I did see that. I guess it is just that simple. I thought there might be a little more detail needed, but I will give it a shot. Hopefully safestrap comes to lollipop one day to make it a little easier!

After flashing the ROM you can just reboot, no need to re-flash the OC4 kernel since the new ROM already flashed it.
Does anyone know if the Alarm clock works on silent now? I think they got rid of the interruption settings did they not?
I have run into a problem i can't figure out. When i try to run safestrap it just wont boot into it when i boot from the app. Have tried it many times. Thinking back wasn't safestrap broken when you are on 5.0? I went from kit kat, rooted and did the keep root tutorial to have it in 5.0. Not really sure what to do.

Safe-strap doesn't work on 5.0. You have to flash G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel to access it.

Ty. I'm not new to flashing but i was just wondering what the hell i was doing that it wouldn't boot. Appreciate it.
Hi. I'm finally can root my SM-G920R6. I use the KingRoot.apk the v4.80 and root the phone. But it's not full root. Them I use the SuperSuMe.exe on my PC to remove all the KingRoot app and install the official SuperSu.apk The program install it's self. And now we can install the correct binary and reboot the device and don't lose root... ohh and my Knox still 0x0... =) XD:laugh: :victory: :highfive:
Links:
●KingRoot v4.80
●SuperSuMe. for PC
Sincerely I don't know if full root or not. But for me is working. And other things I don't know is full knox disabled. The SuperSuMe block the knox in one of the process but I don't know if is disabled at all or not.
I wish this can't help all the SM-G920R6 user. And don't want to avoid the knox warranty.
The only thing you can see is every time you BootUp your phone it say Custom.
The next thing I'm going to do is make a full backup with FlashFire app because mi firmware not appear in SamMoblie. If one Dev can make something with this backup for make custom roms or something good for this devices model.
my phone info:
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920R6WWU1AOE4
Build Number : LRX22G.G920R6WWU1AOE4
Hardware Version : G920R6.02
I'm not a good English speaker so I apologize my errors..
P.S.
Sorry I'm not a Dev. this is my first Thread and I do this for helping.
This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.
Reasons I hate you I guess ?
You are a real piece of **** and a cancer to those with A ACTUAL SAMSUNG-SMG920V.
I don't even know why you posted this here you don't even have a SM G920R6.
Seriously you just made me give up hope once again on getting root on my SAMSUNG-SMG920 on android 6.0.1 :crying:
Sincerely yours ( Another piece of **** with this **** tastic phone that dies in 3 hours and you can do jack **** with)
P.s. It also dies in 3 hours no matter what I install on it no matter on many resource manager apps I use, it just ****ing dies.

Because my device is G920R6 originally and i want it back the 920F rom is barely compatible with my device as is and i want a stable rom made for my build and also to enlighten others of how i rooted this phone and what custom recovery is working for me. Even on 5.0.2 and an unstable rom my battery lasts 6+ hours of constant use so root is working fine for me.
So much hate.
yeah i see now this model phone is the ugly duck....
But some one have the factory firmware of this model flashable with odin. Thanks a lot.

Download (G935F EDGE!): XDA-thread - S7 edge 7.0 download.
I have a few questions as I'm new in the "game".
Answers 1-5 provided by Coto39, give him a thanks if he helped! Answer 7 goes to Poncespr; same as usual!
1) Should I unroot before flashing?
After you flash the new rom your phone will be unrooted again. You will loose also the custom recovery!
2) What kind of backup should I make? Is the one in the android settings enough?
Backup everything you have in the internal memory to you pc. Also use the samsung cloud backup (it will backup a lot of things but not everything (like the whasapp and downloads folders in the internal memory)
3) What do I do if I find out the firm I flash is "the broken one"?
Then you flash a 6.0.1 stock rom again and that's all. (You can downgrade!)
4) Can you go back to 6.0.1 after going to the beta?
Yes. (Answer 3)
5) Which files do we flash? Which can we keep out? (home_csc for instance?)
All of them. Flashing CSC will wipe the internal storage so backup first! (Answer 2)
6) Does flashing android N via Odin will result to Tripping knox?
No.
7) Are there any knox-arounds for being able to use Health Or Gear Again? ("Knox is not available on compromised devices!")
"I used package disabler to block knox and gear plug-in (not the gear app). After that I reset my gear s2 and reconnected. So far so good." (Gear S2 working!)
If you were impatient, like I, and didn't backup on pc - then you're goofed! Images, contacts, layouts etc will be gone, sorry to say. Always backup!

WARNING: you can flash the betas only if your phone is the exynos variant. If you attempt to flash those roms to the sbapdragon variant you'll get a hard brick.

Are there any knox-arounds for being able to use Health Or Gear Again?
I've flashed it on my s7 edge but now i see on download mode:
System status: Official
Current binary: Custom
Knox warranty void: 0x0
Other one have current binary Custom?
Do I need to set OEM unlock if I flash with Odin?
can i flash marshmallow 6.0 csc, having ims service problems when simcard is inserted
U can flash this firmware only if your phone is unlocked.
Is that correct?

Use lastest odin 3.12.3
Greetings!
I'd like to present a TWRP recovery for the Xperia X Compact. This release should work on Xperia X single and dual-SIM variant of the device. I am an owner of Xperia X, but some users reported that my recovery works just fine on its smaller brother.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device. You have been warned.
REQUIREMENTS
Unlocked bootloader
Working ADB and Fastboot (You can get the latest version through Android Studio or by visiting this site)
FEATURES
MTP support
ADB Sideload
Backups and restores almost every partition
Full SELinux support
Working encryption. You can access /data within recovery
USB-OTG
DOWNLOADS
INSTALLATION
Unlock the bootloader
Download the file
Put the following code in CMD/Terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-kugo-*.img
//Replace * with the version you want to flash
Unplug the cable
Press Volume Down + Power to activate the recovery. When installed properly, the device should vibrate funnily, purple LED should appear and after a couple of seconds, you should see the TWRP screen.
Enjoy!
BUILD
You need to sync the OmniROM and vendor blobs from DonkeyCoyote. You can find my sources on GitHub.
android_device_sony_loire_common
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commits/android-7.1
Thanks:
@grayleshy - for initial TWRP
@AndroPlus for some of his flags
OmniROM team for sources
If you find my work useful, consider buying me a cup of coffee
it works perfectly! well can't say I tried all functions yet, but it certainly seems so.
thank you so much. finally a proper lastest version of twrp for XC that supports encryption on nougat.
btw. you have to flash it over fotakernel as described in OP. (hotbooting did not work. blank screen.)
I did try other regular X twrp versions with the same result in the past in hopes of finding something better, so the issue was likely the same since I hotbooted them too for a fast test. I guess that's what you get for being lazy. doh.
thanks again for posting it here.

What do you mean by hot booting? I did this to boot to twrp without installing and have no problem
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Thanks for the twrp, with this I can make full backup before trying to update to 7.1 or 8.0 later :good:
MTP is not working in this version. Everything else is top notch, will test backup/restore a bit later and report back.

Exactly. I know hotbooting is not the best description, but you understood anyway.
Strange, I am not a flashophile so I usually just booted twrp this way after a upgrade with flashtool. When the phone was connected to the pc anyway.
But it only works for me with the androplus version, oshmoun's version won't boot that way either. It's not the first time I have talked odd twrp behaviour though, as another guy could not get the androplus one to work at all. I have no reason to doubt him, as this is pretty casual stuff.
I see you are still on MM, I have been on N since it came out and if I remember correctly I backed up ta just before N came out (exploit and N came out very close to each other), took the ota, and unlocked BL. So I performed all the 'fastboots' (better word? heh) on that and 7.1.1. Perhaps the bootloader changed someway? I have no idea.
Edit: if I learned to read properly the first time, you are NOT on MM (doh) but 7.0. Sorry and even more strange. Does MTP work for you? (see below)

This version uses Sony init, so you can see the Sony screen and led indicator while entering the recovery mode. I'm not planning to change it before creating an official TWRP.

Is this in response to something functional, or just general cosmetics info? Doesn't the sony screen origin from the bootloader? How should a official twrp look while booting it? I get the sony boot and led then the TWRP boot image, isn't that normal when booting fotakernel replaced by TWRP? ie. the bootloader handles it when turning the phone on while holding vol down.
An official version would sure be nice. I more than appreciate what you already done. So just take your time.

Strange, I don't have problem booting twrp without installing for either of twrp.
I'm on 7.0. I tried to update to 7.1, but I don't get signal if I do the ta_poc + tobias drm fix method, and the drm is still marked as broken.
I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.

Why are you running it through both ta_poc and Tobias rootkernel with drm fix?
Either you use ta_poc to mount your ta backup from before the bootloader was unlocked thereby bringing the whole trim area back including drm.
Or you use Tobias rootkernel to fix or 'emulate" drm.
Both tools can disable dm verity, sony ric, etc. there is no reason (other than likely creating trouble) to run the kernel image though both tools?!
If you for example run a boot.img with drm fix through ta_poc it will remove the drm fix first. So I imagine things could go wrong of you apply drm fix again (if that is what you're doing) after using ta_poc.
I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.

Lol I hate it general too, it can come in handy when only twrp is booted though. I am not sure I have any drivers installed either. Regardless I can access a drive resembling my phone labeled 'mtp device' in 'my computer' when I boot twrp.

There was an info in one of threads, that you should get the stock kernel first through TA_POC and then through kernel repack tool. If you did not, it would work, but occassionally reboots. I am now on 7.1.1 build 206 with Genesis Kernel 1.05 (no_DRM patch version) and it works ok.
As for TWRP, thanks for this! It works ok. Can not fastboot it, must be flashed in recovery parition, but no deal for me. Only thing that I wonder, there are options to backup system, data etc, but not Internal SD (/data/data). Why?
Hi I have a question, I have N 7.1.1, and i want to root it, so i need the twrp, if I flash this twrp, its okay? Ty!
