Twrp 3.0.2 keeps being rejected in download mode.

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

[HELP] root problem

hello guys
i have a Samsung galaxy S6 g920F running on 6.0.1 with baseband G920FXXU3DPB6.
I have previously rooted my phone using CF-autoroot. Suddenly today when i tried to use superSU, it said "There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!. If you have upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root".
As i said above that i have rooted after i updated to 6.0.1 and was working till yesterday. i don't know what happen today that it started giving me this error.
I even downloaded latest cf-autoroot from its site and flash it through odin, but still no luck.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks.

Flash a custom recovery and a kernel and then This
Had the same issue and doing this solved it. hope it helps

Here is how I get the root access back.
1. Copy to phone SuperSU 2.72
2. Flash with Odin arter97 kernel 13.1 (it has TWRP also)
3. Reboot in TWRP and flash SuperSU.
4. Reboot the phone

can't we use on stock kernel only as it was before instead of flashing a custom kernel..?

Hi
Your problem is in point 4 , you used the wrong file
I would installed XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk ( newer) first and then the correct xposed.zip you cant use the official version for TW Samsung roms , you need the Unofficial version

Thank you friend for information, I gave a sought after on xposed to galaxy s7 here in the forum, but is huge, I didn't even know that there was unofficial version of xposed. i'll follow the tutorial to see if you will. once again i thank enormously

An alternative method is to flash magisk instead, add the Xposed Framework magisk module, and install the Xposed apk.

Just bought a new G930T, can I root then upgrade OS to Oreo?

This will be my first phone I'm rooting, so I don't have much experience with this. I plan on installing Magisk, so I was curious if I can still upgrade the OS after rooting or should I upgrade then root. Thank you for your help!

You can update stock firmware at any time using Odin https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
Note: It's an old article and links an old version of Odin, make sure to download the latest version
As for root and Magisk, the USA S7's have a locked bootloader so you can't install magisk. Root is possible but limited https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/easyroot-unroot-t3859760
If you go too far ahead in firmware version, the methods used for root are patched. So if you're going to try it, make sure you flash an older version in Odin.
