now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked...

ODIN
and TWRP by
ashyx said:
STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root
credits to this thread where i was searching for root, includes link to 3 methods but mine is the shortest and easiest

I'm unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I'm unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That's it, I can't enter stock recovery either.
I tried all button combinations and it just doesn't enter recovery mode.
Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I'll leave them here for anyone that might use them
Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:
1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it's needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.
2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.
3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you'll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).
5. From this screen without touching anything reboot the phone into recovery mode (power+vol-up+home) (just in case press hard the vol+ key). If it boots the phone in regular mode, do steps 2 , 3 and 4 again.
6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.
7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.
PD: Magisk can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
As for the TWRP file (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-g532_5617b.tar), use the one in the link on the OP.

why am i getting an error? it says
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v17.1.zip' "
can i get some help here?
Good day!
Is disabling dm-verity and force encryption included in the process?
And also, everything works fine but how is that i cannot delete system apps manually? They're returning back after reboot.
Thanks.
Unable to detect the phone -win nor Lin
Hello guys
Something really extrange is happening.
My j2 prime -532G- can't be detected by Windows nor Linux.
The usb is working because it charges the phone, but I can't access the phone at all. I checked all the drivers in Win -google/adb and samsung- and in Linux libmtp/heimdall/etc.
I have tryed different usb -not the original one since i lost it-
Even when i start the download mode, nothing happens.
it there a way to root the phone without a PC? i have tryed also kingroot apk but it is useless.
Thanks

I can't seem to get this phone to go into recovery after flashing TWRP. It always goes into a normal reboot no matter how hard i press the button combination.
Any idea about how to make it reboot to recovery any other way
BTW I was aable to make it go to TWRP Once but forgot to insert the SD card that time and had to repeat the process again and haven't been able to see that TWRP screen agin
Any ideas

Did the phone appear in the file explorer (as a media player device?) with storage(s)?

When i boot or reboot my rooted my Samsung galaxy grand prime g530h it directly enters in recovery mode , WHY ?
Due to this problem my mobile does not show battery percentage while charging switched off mobile.
Even when i have not installed any rom , why does this problem occur ?
The only thing i did was just rooted my mobile using odin .
But , I do have custom recovery CWN
Why does it boot or reboot in recovery mode ?
What should i do to solve it ?
Need an quick answer .
Depends on the situation on why it boots to recovery. Probably would need more information. Do you have a custom recovery and if so what one? What were you doing before this behavior came into play. Please give as much detail as possible and I might be able to help you. Or someone else can.

Wow. Sounds to me in my opinion that u soft bricked your device. But have no fear. Samsung devices are virtually impossible to perm brick as long as you operate Odin correctly. First thing your going to have to do is find an custom recovery to put on the device. In my opinion as soon you rooted you should of done it because people do make mistakes.
I do not own a Samsung device personaly my wife does but she won't let me touch it LMAO. Try searching on Xda for Samsung galaxy grand prime g530h softbrick

Universal unbrick guide:
Terminology - types of bricks:
Soft brick - often occurs in the shape of a bootloop or any other problems with booting such as always getting to recovery or not getting past the carrier logo. This type of a brick, which shows some signs of life, can in most cases be fixed.
Hard brick - As the name implies, your phone can essentially used as a brick and it shows no signs of life. This kind of a brick is rare and in theory should be unfixable. However there are advanced methods of fixing your phones such as JTAG, but they require extra tools and accessories.
The decision:
Is my phone soft or hard bricked?
If you answer yes to all of the questions below you probably have a hard birck:
Test as said in order!
Nothing happenes when you hold or press the power button
You cannot get the screen to even turn on by pressing or holding any combination of buttons on your phone
Nothing happenes if you do the same as about but with your phone plugged into a charger
Nothing happenes when you plug your phone into a computer
When you plug in your phone into a computer it does not recognize it as a phone, storage or any other media device
Nothing happenes when you try all of the above again, but with removing the battery in between steps for 10 seconds and putting it back in again
Nothing happenes when you try all of the above again, but after leaving the phone plugged into a charger for 2 hours
If all of the questions are a "yes", then you either have a broken charging port and and a discharged battery or you have a hard brick.
The unbricking:
There are many methods of unbricking and they are all different to each phone. Here I will list the most common methods that often succeed.
Samsung users skip to 4. method.
1. If you have access to a stock recovery:
Method 1:
1. Shut down / turn off your phone.
2. Boot into Recovery mode – hold down the volume down button and then hold the power button (the button combination is different for every phone. Look yours up on Google)
3. Use volume keys to navigate the menus, and power button to select the menu items (Again, might be different for every phone)
4. Choose “Wipe Cache Partition”.
5. Choose “Wipe Data / Factory Reset” to delete all your settings and apps, using the correct ROM.
6. Reboot your device.
Method 2:
Download the stock rom for your phone. It should be in ".zip" format. Make sure it's the official version
(Find it by Googling something like "[your phone model] stock rom")
Put the file on your phone's external SD card.
Make sure that the rom is for your exact phone model.
1. Shut down / turn off your phone.
2. Boot into Recovery mode – hold down the volume down button and then hold the power button (the button combination is different for every phone. Look yours up on Google)
3. Use volume keys to navigate the menus, and power button to select the menu items (Again, might be different for every phone)
4. Select "apply update from external storage"
5. Navigate to the zip file you copied to your phone
6. Install it.
If you get Status Error 7 that means you didn't download an official stock rom.
2. If you have access to a custom recovery:
Method 1:
Try stock recovery method 1
Method 2:
1. Find a stable custom rom for your phone or if you want to download the stock rom
Make sure that the rom is for your exact phone model.
2.. Copy the zip file to the phone's external SD.
3. Install the zip
(If you have a custom recovery you probably know the drill)
3. If you have access to fastboot mode:
First install ADB and fastboot drivers (if you haven't already):
To install it on windows there is a handy tool called the 15 Second ADB installer which will install pretty much everything you need.
On Ubuntu install with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
On Fedora:
Code:
sudo dnf install android-tools
On OS X using Homebrew:
Code:
brew install android-platform-tools
Once you have the drivers installed you have to find a recovery image for your phone to install a custom recovery.
You can try one of the popular recoveries such as CWM or TWRP.
You need to get the recoveryNameHere.img file for your phone.
Find it by Googling:
"[your phone model] TWRP recovery"
or
"[your phone model] CWM recovery"
Make sure that the recovery is for your exact phone model.
Now on your phone enter fastboot mode:
Turn your phone off.
You can try different button combinations. For my phone it's holding power and volume down buttons.
Once you're in fastboot mode plug your phone into a computer and open your terminal/cmd.
Type in:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see a list of devices. There should be only one device ID number.
If you see the ID it's working. If you don't you didn't install the Google USB driver properly (on Windows) and if it says "'fastboot' is not a recognized command" or "No command 'fastboot' found" then you didn't even install your drivers.
If you have problems with installing Google "how to install adb and fastboot drivers"
Now that you know fastboot is working type in:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\To\Recovery.img
Replace "C:\Path\To\Recovery.img" with an actuall path of the recovery file you downloaded.
It should say success.
If it doesn't try to execute:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This will delete all data you had on your phone (games, game progress, apps...).
Now try
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\To\Recovery.img
again.
Once you're done type in:
Code:
fastboot reboot
And your phone should still not work. Now what you have to do it try the custom recovery method above (number 2.)

Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.

and for root Just use magisk, it works on almost all smartphones and has much more features.
problems faced and solns found
1. During twrp flashing using odin, my stock recovery kept patching the twrp after reboots. So i couldn't install twrp succesfully. To fix this I unchecked "reboot" option in odin (thanks to another xda rooting guide)and switched off device manually after flashing. Then booted into recovery by pressing "home+vol up+power". this time stock rom was gone and twrp was there to welcome me.
2. i ended up in a bootloop after flashing the aforementioned superuser zip file. Instead i flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and fixed the bootloop.
Note- My device is Samsung Galaxy j200-G.

Nice Tutorials
Hey i m ramcharan thanks nice guide how to root samsung J200G
Hey everyone.
I have recently rooted and installed the Pixel experience 9 custom ROM on my S7 edge.
Even though I am confident in Installing ROMs and using TWRP I always like to have a check on the net to see the best way of doing stuff. When checking I found that there were so many different guides that the process became more confusing than it needed to be and it caused issues when I was trying install the ROM.
So I have decided to write out a guide to help everyone in the future.
Note. I am in UK using a Exynos version of the S7 edge. I believe there is a complication with the USA Snapdragon version.
Also this is done at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage, errors or bricked devices. This will also void the warranty of your device.
What will you need
1. A computer with a SD card slot (if you don't have a slot you can usb a usb adaptor)
2. The latest version of ODIN
3. Your chosen ROM zip
4. Magisk Root zip
5. The correct TWRP file for your S7 or S7 edge
6.The latest version of your Stock firmware (this is in case something goes wrong)
7. A spare micro SD card with SD card adaptor
8. Micro USB cable (charging cable usually does the job)
9. Samsung Device drivers
This guide will be split in to 4 parts with some additional notes at the end.
Part 1- on your PC
Part 2- on your mobile
Part 3- In ODIN mode
Part 4- In TWRP
On your PC
1. Download and install the latest version of ODIN to your PC. https://samsungodin.com/
2. Download and install the Samsung Device drivers.
3. Download the correct TWRP version for your phone. https://twrp.me/
4. Now Download your root file, I used to Magisk root but there is super SU as well. I was told that Super SU is dated compared to Magisk.
https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-v17-1-android-pie-a-b-support/
5. Now download your chosen ROM. There is lots of different ROMs for the S7 and S7 edge. In my case I decided to go with Pixel experience 9, it's basically a Pixel 3 ROM that runs Android P but it's up to you.
6. Go to Sammobile and download the stock Firmware for your device. The download takes ages so I would just leave this download in the background and continue to the next step (You shouldn't need this file but you will need it something goes wrong)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
7. Put your micro SD into your adaptor then insert into your PC into your SD card slot, then copy the ROM Download and the Root download SD card to the card.
8. Open ODIN and put the TWRP file on the AP section, then uncheck re-partition.
On Your Phone.
1. Before plugging up to the PC there are something to do first. The first thing to do is enter developer options by taping build number 7 times. Then check USB debugging and then check OEM unlocking.
2. Back up your data with Samsung backup and Google backup, both found in the settings.
3. If you already have a SD card inside your phone remove it and put it somewhere safe.
4. Power off your device and Boot in to ODIN mode (volume down, home button and power at the sametime)
In ODIN mode (READ THIS CAREFULLY)
1. BEFORE pressing start on your computer, hold volume up and home button.
2. Now press start on the computer, keep your fingers on the volume button up button and home button. Let the PC and Phone start it's process.
3. The moment the phone screen goes black. Press and hold the power but while keeping your fingers on the volume up and home button.
4. Keep all the buttons held down (volume up, home button and power button) till you see the TWRP screen boot.
In TWRP.
1. Once TWRP boots you will see a screen it will say "swipe to allow modifications" DON'T swipe just press "read only"
2. Press wipe and then press format data. Once the wipe is complete DO NOT swipe to reboot. (You will get yourself stuck in a boot loop) press the TWRP home icon instead.
3. Press Reboot then press recovery this will complete the installation of TWRP (if you press anything else you will get stuck in a boot loop)
4. Allow TWRP to reboot. You will be presented with the "swipe allow modifications" check the do not show again box and swipe.
5. Now insert your Micro SD card with the downloaded files.
6. Press wipe, then press advanced and check cashe and
dalvik cashe. Then Press TWRP Home icon
7. Press install and navigate to SD card. Then press the on the Magisk file and swipe, allow the process to finish and press wipe cache and Dalvik cashe.
8. Press TWRP home icon and press install and navigate back to SD card. Then press your ROM file and swipe again. Once it's finished press wipe cashe and Dalvik cashe. Then swipe to reboot.
9. Re-insert your memo card you were using before. (Not the one with the downloads on, the one with your photos and music and stuff)
10. BOOM your done. Happy days with your new ROM.
Few last things
the ROM I installed had G-apps preinstalled with the ROM, but if your ROM has no G-apps then once you booted, download G-apps from your ROMs browser and flash them with TWRP.
If you get stuck in a boot loop use your stock firmware file and Odin to reinstall the stock firmware and try the whole process again.
This method uses SD card to install the files in TWRP but I believe you can just copy the files via your PC directly to your phone at point 5 in the TWRP part of the guide. I had a spare card so I used a card.
The principal of this guide can be applied to other Samsung devices but newer device then the S7 and S7 edge have more factors to take note of, so some research will be required.
Remember
this is done at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage, errors or bricked devices. This will also void the warranty of your device.
Hope this guide works well for you.
Is the "no verty" not required to remove encryption?

I don't think this was a big issue with S7E but I know the S8 and onwards have extra encryption protection and 24 hour jailbait locks.
I have rooted my S7E a few times and it's never been an issue for me.
Sometimes the USA Snapdragon versions have extra encryption as well.
Thanks for reply.
In a few days I will try to root.
Fingers Crossed!
( I do have the Exynos S7 Edge G935F)
Also have a newer stock Oreo 8.0.0, unrooted. Thats the part I hear is giving people problems. Something about after flashing TWRP you get a fail to mount the data partition .... or something like that. Something to do with quotas
Heimdell vs odin
I wonder why most people use odin.
The official lineage OS installation instruction recommends heimdell. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hero2lte/install
So what is the difference ? Heimdell vs odin

ODIN is made by Samsung developers and Hiemdell is a 3rd party option. They both do the same thing but some say that Heimdell is safer, easier and faster.
Personally I use Odin because I have got used to it and it has never let me down.
I mostly use it to install Stock UK firmware on cheaper Samsung phones that are from overseas.
Hello,
Thanks for your guide but I think there are too much steps, you can do it easier.
You can keep your sd card in the phone to transfer the ROM and magisk.
You can uncheck reboot in Odin instead doing this hard combination of "keep pressing volume up and power + press start on your computer at the same time", or let reboot checked, pressing start and keep pressing power+home+volume up when the screen turning off.
Even if you're in a bootloop, you can go back in recovery by forcing the phone to reboot (power+home+volume down) and when you see the Samsung logo (splahscreen) you keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see twrp screen appears.
Sorry men, it's not against you or your guide but to help beginners, we are always scared when we see a long and complicate list of steps, especially when we don't know.
But it's nice to share the links of the necessary tools to avoid searching everywhere :good:
And don't worry guys, if you do something wrong you can easily restore the stock firmware, it's very hard to brick a Samsung device, just be sure to get the last version of TWRP for the good model and the ROM corresponding to this model too.
I flashed my S7Edge the day I bought it without stress, take your time, read the tutorials and try to understand what you are going to do before doing it and all will be fine.
The simple version (IDK if it's better) is :
1 : Install Samsung drivers
2 : Copy ROM + magisk + noverity zips on sdcard
3 : Go into download mode (Power off phone and keep pressing power+home+volume down until the blue screen and follow the steps on the screen)
4 : Open Odin (last version), connect your phone to the computer, uncheck reboot box and flash TWRP on AP case
5 : Reboot on TWRP (keep pressing power+home+volume down until you see Samsung logo, and directly keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see TWRP screen)
6 : Wipe everything except sdcard + format data + (optionally) flash noverity zip
7 : Flash the ROM
8 : Reboot to system, configure the rom and wait some minutes to let the ROM create dalvik cache.
9 : Reboot normally and wait some minutes.
10 : Reboot to TWRP
11 : Flash Magisk zip (IMPORTANT ! Don't Flash Magisk just after the ROM, first boot on the ROM without root and reboot one time at least before to avoid lags in the system due to dalvik cache ! Steps 7 and 8)
12 : Reboot to system and install magisk manager apk
13 : I'm not superstitious but there is not step 13, you are done, enjoy !
Don't forget, don't flash Magisk directly after the ROM or you'll get a laggy ROM.
Just boot without flashing magisk and let the ROM doing his work in background during some minutes (5 to 10 minutes should be good), and do another reboot.
After that you can flash Magisk.

Cheers for helping my out, my guide has a lot of steps as I literally wrote what I did every step.
I was going for a guide that spelt out every single detail for the less experienced people. I glad to see you approve of my links.
Great guide though, great that both guides can complement each others.

You can use this method for Snapdragon, but Snapdragon phones in certain regions have a built jailbreak that can complicate things. There are ways around it but as I am in a region that sell exynos then i have no experience with the Snapdragon Variant. ?

sorry but know i lost twrp what am i doing wrong SM-G935F s7edge
is anyone going to help me or u just like the other sites dont reply i need this info asap its only reason i rooted was to use custom rom oh also turmux
Hey
Sorry I have been busy.
Best option is to flash the firmware and start again. Follow the steps of original comment.
Remember when you boot in to TWRP straight after installing it...then wipe all your data then press reboot and reboot back into RECOVERY....once your done this you have completed the install of TWRP.
Once that is all done....wipe your cashe davalik data and then insert your memory card with the custom Rom and Magisk root inside. Install Magisk first...then the ROM.
Once this is done wipe cashe/davalik data once more and reboot, your custom ROM should load up...once the ROM loads install the Magisk root manager and latest update for the root.
Other things to check have you installed the correct TWRP and correct custom Rom for your device.
Also check your customs ROM feed on XDA to see if anyone has issued like this on there as well, if so there might be specific answer to your issue there.
Hope this helps sorry for the delay

Hello,
Thanks for your guide but I think there are too much steps, you can do it easier.
You can keep your sd card in the phone to transfer the ROM and magisk.
You can uncheck reboot in Odin instead doing this hard combination of "keep pressing volume up and power + press start on your computer at the same time", or let reboot checked, pressing start and keep pressing power+home+volume up when the screen turning off.
Even if you're in a bootloop, you can go back in recovery by forcing the phone to reboot (power+home+volume down) and when you see the Samsung logo (splahscreen) you keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see twrp screen appears.
Sorry men, it's not against you or your guide but to help beginners, we are always scared when we see a long and complicate list of steps, especially when we don't know.
But it's nice to share the links of the necessary tools to avoid searching everywhere :good:
And don't worry guys, if you do something wrong you can easily restore the stock firmware, it's very hard to brick a Samsung device, just be sure to get the last version of TWRP for the good model and the ROM corresponding to this model too.
I flashed my S7Edge the day I bought it without stress, take your time, read the tutorials and try to understand what you are going to do before doing it and all will be fine.
The simple version (IDK if it's better) is :
1 : Install Samsung drivers
2 : Copy ROM + magisk + noverity zips on sdcard
3 : Go into download mode (Power off phone and keep pressing power+home+volume down until the blue screen and follow the steps on the screen)
4 : Open Odin (last version), connect your phone to the computer, uncheck reboot box and flash TWRP on AP case
5 : Reboot on TWRP (keep pressing power+home+volume down until you see Samsung logo, and directly keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see TWRP screen)
6 : Wipe everything except sdcard + format data + (optionally) flash noverity zip
7 : Flash the ROM
8 : Reboot to system, configure the rom and wait some minutes to let the ROM create dalvik cache.
9 : Reboot normally and wait some minutes.
10 : Reboot to TWRP
11 : Flash Magisk zip (IMPORTANT ! Don't Flash Magisk just after the ROM, first boot on the ROM without root and reboot one time at least before to avoid lags in the system due to dalvik cache ! Steps 7 and 8)
12 : Reboot to system and install magisk manager apk
13 : I'm not superstitious but there is not step 13, you are done, enjoy !
Don't forget, don't flash Magisk directly after the ROM or you'll get a laggy ROM.
Just boot without flashing magisk and let the ROM doing his work in background during some minutes (5 to 10 minutes should be good), and do another reboot.
After that you can flash Magisk.
Use links shared by the creator of this topic, they are the officials. :victory:

Your certainly not wrong there. confusing isn't the word I would choose more like frustrating to hell. I'm new to this and I can't even get out the starting gate lol every time I move one step forward I move two steps back and that's no joke.
I can't read any more tutorials there coming out my ears it's just adding to the confusion I'm completely lost now. can't even pick a custom rom that's a headache for another time I was just wanting to root the phone but was told stock roms are temperamental and custom roms was the way forward. all I keep reading is tutorials telling you to down load files but never a mentioning once if they should be in zip format as downloaded or unpacked? then providing links to other files taht are in apk file! like Magisk. but continue to about the file as though it were a zip! as noob it's frustrating to keep asking for help and every key stroke at least for me anyway you feel like a pain in the rear! so for now I'm throwing in the towel at least I know one thing that works. giving up lol.
