I just rooted my Note 5 and installed TWRP following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note5/general/how-to-root-instructions-t3187895
My question is, can I go ahead and safely encrypt my Note 5 like you would when it's unrooted? Or is it not possible when it is rooted?
I tried encryption when I was rooted on Moar roam but when it booted kept getting unresponsive ui error had to boot into twrp and decrypt. I'd make a backup and try it worse case you have to decrypt with twrp and possible restore with your backup.
Hi guys,
I bought the "new" Moto X Style last week for 250€(new, white, 32gb) and updated it to the highest Android 6.0 version from Motorola. After that, i flash the OTA-file from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/ota-moto-x-style-android-7-0-nougat-t3630248
After that, i unlock the bootloader, flash TRWP, clean the data and create a System backup:
https://xda.bioharz.xyz/2017-07-15--06-20-47_NPH25.200-15.7z
This is unmodified! and unrootedI actually have no time to create a System image, but this should also work for you.
I hope this can help you.
Thanks,
One question, this backup work in XT1572 CID12?

Probably failing SafetyNet API check but what is the error?
Nougat will fail if the bootloader is unlocked and you don't have the Magisk module to stop SafetyNet. In Nougat an unlocked bootloader is enough to get it to fail even if otherwise 100% stock.
Netflix could also be confused as to your region if you restored the backup in this thread.

Magisk 13.3 can help with the safety net test. Here is how to install at stock: post #4

What is the proper way to flash this backup using TWRP? I did a adb push to /sdcard with al files from the extracted .7z file but TWRP can't ze the backup.
What am I doing wrong?

Extract the backup zip file. Copy the last folder (containing the boot and system images) to your phone's TWRP Backup folder. Now you will see it in TWRP. Now perform a full backup. Then restore the copied-over nougat backup. Now you can pick on of the following two options.
1. f you have time, you do not need to delete your data before rebooting. You can always uninstall and reinstall any problem apps that show up after rebooting. That is what I did.
2. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can delete your data and then reboot. That would be called a "clean install" and I don't do that very often.
Hope this helps.
@bioharz
Cheers for this. I was contemplating what method might be easiest for upgrading my rooted Moto X Style (EU) from MM 6.01 to Nougat 7.0. Ideally, this would have been a TWRP flashable ZIP, however, you have provided the second best option, which is a TWRP backup.
My method was as follows:
1) Make full TWRP backup of existing MM installation to extSD
2) Backup my Nova settings to extSD
3) Download, unzip and copy your backup to the TWRP location on extSD
4) Boot into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System and Data partitions via Advanced Wipe menu
5) Flash System and Boot partitions from your Nougat backup, BUT NOT EFS partition !!!
6) Reboot, log onto previous Google Account and restore all apps.
7) Restore Nova settings
8) Root with SuperSU (systemless) and SuHide
Worked a treat :good:
Are you sure - you need nougat with old radios?
You could reflash stock MM, update to Nougat, root, restore all you want. @Yemble
Will it work on moto x style Indian variant?

I am certain that I do not wish to screw up my phone with someone elses IMEI. Besides, what exactly is wrong with the MM radios? They are working perfectly on my phone.
Actually, given that I am now in a good position to experiment further, I have flashed the Nougat EFS partition on its own to my phone. Thankfully, it did not affect the IMEI or any network connectivity (SIM or WiFi). However, it has not changed the base band version either, so it may, in fact, be identical to the MM EFS anyway!

Take a TWRP backup first, then give it a go. What have you got to lose?
I suggest that you try it without the EFS partition first. If that works, take another TWRP backup and then try flashing EFS on its own.
@coolncoolest @Yemble
Don't flash/restore EFS from another phone - you can lose your IMEI.
India - RetAsia version has the same baseband as RetEu - cid7.
Dual sim probably will not work.

Clearly you are wrong about this (on this particular phone model), as I have already tried it and it proved that it did not break, or change, anything! I am aware that flashing EFS can be dangerous on older Samsung phones, hence my cautious approach that you appeared to be dissing in your previous post
I believe in hard facts, rather then hearsay. I have now upgraded three XT1572 (EU) phones from the posted TWRP image using the method that I outlined previously, together with the later flashing of the EFS partition. All three phones work perfectly and all three pass SafetyNet.
Someone else may be less fortunate than you and there is no reason to flash/restore efs.
Not only Samsung can lost imei in this way - Lenovo(+tablets), other Moto series, all Mtk devices(there is easy way to restore imei).
For Moto I don't know any restoring procedure. Sorry - one - mainboard replacement. @Yemble

Do you mean:
Nougat with old radios?
I meant:
Flash stock 6.0.1 24...58-5 with fastboot and get ota update.
Somewhere I uploaded my backup(6.0.1 EU) - without efs.
Hi Folks,
Saw many users struggling to restore their phone after messing up with their phone either during flashing any custom ROM, custom recovery or even flashing stock update via Firmware finder or flashing any unapproved stock firmware via DLOAD method and event after trying various methods of reviving the phone unable to do so and they can not flash the custom ROMs as well, sometime due to FRP locked etc or various unknown reasons.
Please share your TWRP backup for such users so that they will be bale to restore their phone and use it rather throwing it in frustration. It could be either TWRP backup for stock MM, Stock Nougat, Custom MM or custom Nougat
Please do not forget to mention the model number and the backup type as TWRP backup for stock MM, Stock Nougat, Custom MM or custom Nougat so that user download and restore only the backup they need rather messing it up again.
It can be system+boot or system+boot+vendor backup.
Example- BLN-AL10 Stock B375 Nougat
Thanks and happy flashing.

How do open bootloader
Hi,
I would like to root my samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930f with android 7.0 and firmware phn.
I tried to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root-herolte- and odin but I made something wrong (probably not using the most recent file version or odin version) and my phone was blocked.
Then I flashed a new stock version to resolve the problem.
Now I would like to know if this method is correct (without installing twrp) and if is it possible root the phone without erasing all my data.
thank you

If you want to root I would recommend you to use Magisk but a fsctory reset is mandatory if you want to do this as you will have to flash TWRP to install it and since the encryption changes when you install a custom recovery you will need to use the format data option under the Wipe menu in TWRP and that will factory reset your phone. So make a backup first.
If you decide to do this. Use the format data option then reboot to recovery and after that flash magisk zip. After that reboot to system and wait.

I have rooted my s20 fe with magisk and stock firmware , but I don't have any recovery app. I've downloaded twrp app but it's not compatible with this phone. Is there anyway to install twrp after rooting so I can try different rooms and backup before doing so?? I use to use titanium backup but from what I have seen it's useless on newer phones now. I've been trying to figure out how to install twrp or any other back up and flashing utility after rooting for a couple of days now and haven't found anything positive.
Wich specific model? Usually you can , just get the TWRP image corresponding to your device and flash it , BUT I would suggest to look it up as Samsung is a bit finicky with those kind of things
Also make a backcup and get the stock rom just in case .
Good luck!
I have the s20 fe , exynos model .
