Rooted with ODIN, how to get a working TWRP now?

Heyo!
So.. I recently got the 930F and rooted successful with odin, but my question is now, how do I successfully flash a working TWRP without having all the issues ppl describe below the twrp thread for sgs7?
greetz

after flashing TWRP with odin, enter your new recovery.
Wipe everything, then flash the rest of the files. You won't be able to boot otherwise.

You must in Odin remove the hook at autoreboot.
And then manually switch off the mobile phone with "Home-Vol--Power", then start with "Home-Vol+-Power" and wait until the TWRP screen comes and then let go.

But I didnt flash TWRP yet, cuz I used the CF-Root method by Chainfire, just rooted with odin and got supersu installed, i cant even boot into a recovery? my phone just starts normally, doesnt samsung have a normal recovery?
can I just re-root with a method with TWRP included without worries or am I gonna brick my phone?

Why would you suggest a full wipe? Is it needed?
I did the same thing... used CF-Auto-Root to root my S7 and noticed that I didn't have TWRP. So I just downloaded TWRP Manager from the Play Store and used that to flash TWRP to Recovery. It worked perfectly as far as I can tell, no need to wipe anything.
Unless I've missed something?

The full wipe will disable data & sd encryption, so you will not face any problem while flashing roms & kernals, or creating twrp backup.

I don't know if I'm too late, but this is what I did and it was the easiest way to get TWRP.
Go to the Play Store and download 'TWRP Manager App', when on there hit 'Install TWRP', look for the SG7 type for TWRP and choose the latest datedTWRP (People tend to get Recovery is not seandroid enforcing error because they use an out-of-date recovery image).
It will say there was an error flashing recovery and give the option to Reboot or Reboot Later, but it actually has managed to get TWRP onto your phone so just reboot there and then.
Boom you have TWRP; remember the first thing to do is Format Data.
Good Luck

Format data when I first boot the phone after the twrp-installation-restart? or before flashing rom/kernel?

Format Data after TWRP Installation because our S7 phone has dm-verity and you will not be able to flash zips and ROMs properly. Formatting will get rid of that verity encryption.
Another reason why to format data after TWRP installation is because as this method does not fully get rid of stock recovery and is left dormant, so formatting the data will let TWRP read your Data.

Nope. That is not part of the Data partition so the format shouldn't affect - IMEI No. is part of the EFS partition.
If you do come with any problems though, quote me and I'm here to help. But believe I'm telling you what even I did and I'm running ROMS and shiz now.

no,no,no i know that, i just want to know did encryption setting changed to decrypted.

What do we get with this method?
I would like to see if we can remove the system ones, and gain some performance on that.

This Is nothing related to performance, it just removes encryption in Twrp Recovery. So we can see the Internal Storage in Twrp Recovery.
If u Want to Get Performance, Remove the ****ty Apps, which are present with System App Remover!

I can confirm that this method works, i didn't know that it was that simple.

Quick question, fellas;
Mine tarp is ported from P9. Is this is the only one recovery around for our device?
What about full tarp backup and format /system and /data? Is there any chance for brick? I've rooted with Magical, but because of the encryption (I cannot see internal memory and /data) I doesn't flash any modules. Thanks for the future info!

yeah, that is only recovery that works, you can brick device if you wipe /system. You should wipe /system only when you are doing full wipe (flashing new ROM). You can wipe /data but it will remove existing non-system apps. I never did twrp backup so you can try.

Does the twrp encryption removal survive ota updates and oreo beta update?

I don't think so because every .nb0 file that i flashed have encryption enabled. But after flashing new rom, you can immediately factory reset when you boot to rom to prevent losing data.

@MoHuToP
ok, i tried full twrp backup, but it stops on system image backup, it stoped around 60%. Backup have 11.5 GB (really huge isn't it).

DELETED

Ok, this method worked on Nougat with SuperSU because SuperSU patched fstab and file contexts successfully. It doesn't work on Oreo because Oreo now have plat_file_contexts and non_plat_file contexts. SuperSU needs to be updated to patch these files succesufully or we need to manually patch it so we can remove encryption.

Just to update this guide: This works only on Nougat. You need to have installed twrp and unlocked bootloader. Magisk doesn't work with this method because it doesn't patch fstab and file contents file so you need to uninstall it by going to Magisk app and clicking uninstall. After that go to TWRP, flash unSu > stock boot.img. You can flash Magisk after that with removed encryption.
Steps:
1. Flash SuperSU 2.79 stable with TWRP
2. Reboot your phone to system.
3. Reboot to TWRP again.
4. Choose Wipe > Swipe to Factory reset
5. Choose Wipe > Advanced > Internal Storage
Now you wiped Data, Cache, Dalvik cache and Internal Storage.
Your phone will have removed encryption now.
If you want Magisk, just flash unSu script > stock boot.img > Magisk
If you update your phone, it will encrypt your phone again so you need to repeat steps again.

I have redmi note 5 mec7s and i instal global stable 9.5.13.0
now phone booting to mesage "encrypting don't reboot your phone" and goes to mi recovery and bootloop
if a make wipe then again booting to mesage "encrypting don't reboot your phone" and goes to mi recovery

This is only for the NOKIA 3 - if you have tried this on a different device there could be the possibility of Bricking it, let's hope not.
I suggest going to your own device forum for assistance.

I have reformatted and factory resetted many times but the issue keeps coming back after I boot into system. To clarify, my steps were to reformat inside the wipe section, boot into recovery and check to see there's no encryption, and then boot back to system to install magisk with the manager app. I have tried adding a factory reset to that process, but that won't work either. My TWRP is 3.2.1-0 and I will try to update it and see if it works. Also, sorry if I reply slow.

Flashed 5.1.11 via TWRP now reboots to TWRP?

I went to reload 5.1.11 ..I think it might be because I forgot to remove my security features now keeps rebooting to TWPR
do I have to do a compete wipe now....or is there a simple method ?? Thanks for the help!

Did you have magisk installed? Did you install it again after flashing full ota and twrp?

That didn't work? Really strange tho

See this. This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.

Thanks but I really don't understand this....first I don't know if encryption is on ? Don't think I have turned it off...2nd 3.2.2.0 worked fine for me before..I installed 5.1.9 and 5.1.11 with no problems.....it was when I tried to reinstall 5.1.11 and forgot to remove security features this happened now?
How old is this thread about TWRP 3.2.2.0 ?

It happened to me since the first time. what i do is wipe everything except internal, flash rom, flash twrp, reboot twrp, boot system, and then after set up, reboot recovery and flash magisk.
I dont know what is the problem ive never used a security feature.(maybe thats my problem)

Bootloop + Encrypted Data

So I wanted to try out LOS 16. I made a full TB backup and a Nandroid backup on TWRP. I flashed Open Beta 2 for the firmware and booted. Everything was fine, but OB 2 is not my thing so I went like planned and booted into TWRP to wipe and flash LOS. This was when it went downhill: TWRP no longer prompts me for a password and all my files are encrypted.
Even so I flashed LOS and it boot just fine but all my files are no longer there.
I will try to avoid a full wipe down. It's painful af, and since i got the 6 it's the second or third time that I'm at this point. I don't get it.
At this point all i want is to decrypt my data and restore my nandroid. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

if all you did was temp boot twrp on pie, temp boot twrp can not decrypt data. You have to flash twrp to phone then reboot to twrp. Second, twrp can not restore backups of stock roms. Third, to go back to any oreo rom will require a format data to fix.

I'm pretty sure temp TWRP can decrypt data. I do it all the time. Regarding the restore, I wouldn't know, haven't tried yet but I think it would work, had I been able to decrypt it. Whatever. Full wipe it is.

So your suggestion would be to flash Oreo over Pie, boot (if it managed to boot), setup a new pattern, then TWRP and decrypt from there?

or you could reflash beta 2 to access your data right now.

it's because of the encryption used on oneplus6. We can make backups with twrp, it just fails on the restore part.

I can get TWRP backups to work just fine on stock OOS, but I follow a weird process.
1. Store backup on something other than the phone (I got a USB OTG SD card reader/writer - I use a 128GB SD card to hold my stuff)
2. Use a fastboot rom to flash the same rom as the backup was made on. They are in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
3. After flashing the fastboot rom start up the phone and go through the whole setup process (I don't know why but it doesn't work when I don't do this)
4. Install TWRP. Instructions can be found in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558 don't just boot TWRP, actually install TWRP (it might work if you just boot TWRP, I never tried it so I can't make any claims that it works)
5. Move your backup back to the phone and restore it in TWRP.
I have done this probably 100 times by now and it ALWAYS works. It is just how funky the encryption is on the OP6 that makes us go through hell to do something this simple. Try this.

No OS installed in TWRP

Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.

Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.

Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.

Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I hardbricked my device about 10 times and i was able to recovery It even from a blank screen. Btw format data Will erase all your data but also the internal storage. About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.
P.s. Sorry but I dunno how to paste a link via xda app. Yes, ik! It's a vert newbie thing.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

Magisk, boot img?

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

No. Just flash stock boot image if magisk broke something.

I ended up following the guide to Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/patched-boot-image-magisk-16-7-beta-t3818853 since it was referenced by Mauronofrio's post for having issues getting his TWRP to work with latest Magisk.
Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.
I'm learning a lot, thanks so much for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction when I was not sure what the hell to do!
