I'm trying to root and flash TWRP on the latest T-Mobile firmware (OF8) without tripping knox, but I'm not sure if TWRP is compatible with it. I don't want to flash it through Odin and have it fail then get in a bootloop/brick.
I'm using 2.8.7.1 on OF8 without issue. :good:
so am i ...
Yes its fine. I'm using on OF8 as well... You HAVE to flash a different kernel tho from what I understand to avoid the bootloop. UniKernel is what I'm using. And its FAST!
You have to flash a kernel such as Unikernel/Unibase before you start delving into the recovery. If you dont, you'll get stuck in a very annoying loop.

Guys, what would be the latest TWRP for our SM-G920T, and where would I find an Odin-flashable TWRP file? (Somehow I do not trust TWRP Manager with the task of flashing TWRP.)
Just in case it matters, I am currently rooted on the latest DOI1 FW.

Thank you! One of the things that I find irritating about TWRP Manager is that it asks me to confirm/verify the partition where TWRP gets flashed to. Now how can I possibly know if dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/RECOVERY is the right place for my device? (Is it?) The second thing that bothers me about TWRP Manager is that it doesn't correctly detect the latest TWRP version, and often it offers to install an older version.
Did twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar work for you?
After updating to DOI1, I get boot loops after trying to flash TWRP.
I can get into recovery and download mode just fine, but it won't boot to the OS.

I bit the bullet eventually (sesing as flashing TWRP via ODIN is a PITA), and flashed TWRP using TWRP Manager. I got an error message upon flashing, though it looks like TWRP flashed just fine. (Go figure!) Anyway, TWRP Manager flashes TWRP 2.8.7.1. It may be that TWRP people didn't consider TWRP 2.8.7.2 safe enough to flash, which is why TWRP Manager doesn't offer the option. That may be your explanation for your troubles.
I softbricked my phone trying to install bootloader/modem for XtreStoLite ROM and I never completed the process. Only fix was to do Emergency Recovery with Samsung SmartSwitch, which I did. Now I have 100% stock 6.0.1 and stock recovery.
Next I tried to install TWRP via Odin. Now the phone boots normally, but I can't boot into recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, it says "Recovery is not SEANDROID enforcing" and it's stuck in boot. What is the method to successfully install TWRP on 6.0.1?
Thanks
Throw this in google and youll find the post you want (if you haven't already). Sorry cant post links yet:

Hi all,
First of all i am not noob to flashing roms and kernels. I have been flashing rom/kernel since 2011 on different phones. But i never encounter this type of problem. On my N6 i cant get root on my stock rom(not debloated rom by tupac4u).I have tried different supersu zips(2.78, 2.78 SR3 and SR5) but no luck. What i did, went to recovery wipe everything except internal storage, reboot to bootloader, flashed latest factory image( which is NDB91P), setup my device, reboot into bootloader to flash recovery(because you loose twrp when you flash stock images), then flashed SuperSu (tried every versions) and i always get bootloop. Am i missing any step??
Hey here
Im on android 7.0 and the device is galaxy s7 edge G935F and no matter what i do..... Unrooting with the managaer options or flash the magisk uninstaller in twrp it always causes a boot loop. It starts normal when i flash magisk again... it would be easy to flash a new rom but i want to keep some changes ive made while rooted so thats the problem and i read a lot of flashing the boot loader (thats the BL part in the extracted rom package right?) from the rom thats currently installed. But that would wipe everything right? Or can i somehow flash that one like i flash magisk in twrp
I wonder if here is anything i can do to unroot successfully? Cache wipe wont end the loop
As always thanks for your time and answer
With best regards
Chris
Using safestrap
Is there an odin file for Oreo yet? Cause if we have an odin file I believe we can get root for Oreo. I keep seeing OTA update for oreo, but with safestrap installed as recovery I believe if we have an odin file of Oreo we should be able to flash the system.img in odin boot to safestrap and root it with SuperSU. I think we would need a bootloader v2 most likely and use samfail bootloader v2, bl3 might work but I don't know.
I cannot find an odin file for Oreo anyone have a link to one not on bl3, if there is one on bl3 someone who is already on bl3 should try this as I do not want to move to bl3 yet. I will try if someone has a bl2 odin file of oreo though.
The steps would be same as flashing samfail for the most part, first install safestrap, create a backup so if it doesn't work you can flash samfail and safestrap and load your backup that way.
Once you have safestrap installed boot into bootloader and flash only the system.img of the oreo odin file, might need to flash the csc I am not sure but once you have it installed if safestrap stays installed as recovery it should be an easy boot to safestrap flash SuperSU and then boot Oreo.
you need combo fo oreo in order to properly boot up as permissive. Otherwise you will get the same thing ive had for months.
