Custom Binary (TWRP) bootloop/no boot - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi All, I have a N950F/DS currently running Stock N950FXXU3CRE5 FW and every time I install twrp and do the "Data mount fix" my phone refuses to boot unless I root it with Magisk or SuperSU. I dont want root but I do want twrp, can someone help with this problem thanks in advance.

What are you trying to achieve with Data mount fix?
try RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2 so oem unlock would not turn off after reboot here

For some reason this didn't work for me. I kept losing OEM unlock anyway. I ended up having to not reboot my phone for a week.

I found a solution. I downloaded two boot imgs without the "dm verity" and my phone booted with twrp. Also it doesn't remove twrp after rebooting

help

without enabling oem unlock in the developer options, nope. but you can use the stock recovery to check if a factory reset would help.
Factory reset doesn't help. When trying to sideload I keep getting error "system partition has unexpected contents" (Status 7).

How?
Using the nexus tool kit. After that I locked the bootloader to sideload the update.

Then the toolkit most likely didn't replace the proper kernel, which is why the OTA failed. You'll have to RMA.

Thank you for your help
Which toolkit did you use? Try to flash everything in BOOTLOADER with the newest 5.1.1 using ADB and Fastboot commands as opposed to the Toolkits. I'm hoping your successful in your endeavours, I'm working on mine too. Even if you are missing any part of your stock image or basic partitions, you should be able to flash it back to normal via your bootloader. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 5, last week, actually.
EDIT: So, when you sideload or fastboot the system partition, it's stopping you? I may have sleep induced stupidity here and not fully taking in the issue but, I was able to flash 5.1.0 on my Nexus 5 after re-locking it via fastboot commands.

Not when his bootloader is locked. Unfortunately, the OP has locked his bootloader and can't boot to android to enable OEM unlock.
Possible idea

There's some more concrete info in the first couple pages, especially regarding our N6's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/to-toggle-allow-oem-unlock-via-fastboot-t3091119
Hope this helps.
I'll keep my eyes open for anything that seems pertinent.
Best of luck

Can you fastboot boot twrp recovery? And if that is possible, will twrp flash zips with a locked bootloader?
Edit: I'm almost certain fastboot boot recovery won't work with a locked bootloader. I almost thought I had a good idea.
I am in the same situation. Bootloader locked and no custom recovery nor adb enabled. surprisingly enough, yesterday my phone could boot up but it's stuck now in the configuration process. I cannot access to the settings so I can check usb debugging or oem unlock. I can only access the dialer. my question is: is there anyway to do that with just a dialer code?
Just to clarify: you never need to relock your bootloader! Unless you have some kind of security restrictions from the company you work with or something, just don't!
OTA can be installed even with the bootloader unlocked (normal or sideload). The only prerequisite is that the system is stock (not rooted, stock kernel, stock recovery, and so on).

Sorry for the noob question but where can I find these OTAs and how to install one of them? Does it require usb debugging to be enabled?

Put it into bootloader mode:
fastboot getvar all
Copy and save all the info into a Notepad file for future reference.

You checked that the bootloader is unlocked? Yes, you will get the mismatch error because you're flashing a non-stock file, it's normal, and it's ok, TWRP will still flash and boot, but you have to boot into recovery straight after you flash it. Use the latest TWRP 3.1.1
https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotox2014.html
If the bootloader is already unlocked, update the phone first, so that you have the latest bootloader version.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img

ok thanks for the help. I figured it out. I dont know if this phone is just weird, or if I was entering fastboot mode wrong, but I've flashed a few roms now, one being pure nexus, for some reason I cant get magisk to work right, (I really just need netflix) I flashed rom,gapps, magisk and when it boots up there is no app for it, I tried flashing magisk again and the app gets install but netflix wont show up in the app store?

I don't use either Magisk or Netflix, so I'm not familiar with them, but you can try the Netflix APK:

Our devices don't have a recovery partition to flash to.
Read the install instructions correctly:
https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotox4.html
You should use "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-payton.img" instead.
Then, follow along:
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your password, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots. Installing TWRP at this time will remove root if you are currently rooted.

I think the right command is this:
fastboot flash boot [file name].img
No,
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest firmware for your device and reflash the boot image.

I could be wrong but it seems like you are trying to flash TWRP to the recovery partition and there's no such thing on this phone. You have to temporarily boot TWRP and the keep following the instructions.
Is anybody able to backup / restore the phone with android one on encrypted file system??, im using the official twrp, but restoring backups just cause bootloops
is it necessary to unlock the bootloader before?
If you're asking if the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install magisk, absolutely!
Sorry for the dumb question but how do you unlock the bootloader on the Fi Android one Version?

If you are still haven't fixed this yet the issue is you need to fastboot boot the boot twrp image and then flash the flash image inside twrp. The guide on TWRP official will give you a guide on how to do this, the files required are also there.

Root

Hi guys and girls,
I used to have a S7 Edge and found that really easy to root as it had am sd card I've managed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP But all the advice guides says to install supersu on the internal memory from the pc I did that but when I loaded TWRP up and searched for the zip file it wasn't in any folders or sub folder is someone able to. Explain where to put it or help with a step by step guide I am using CLT-L09 if that helps thanks so much.
If you have TWRP, just flash Magisk.

Install the unofficial TWRP. Remove fingerprint/password/pin etc then try again. TWRP doesn't decrypt when they're active.

Install the unofficial one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
Just flash it over the one you currently have with the same method you used before via fastboot.
When you issue the 'fastboot reboot' command after installing unplug the usb cable straight away and hold volume up button until it boots to TWRP. This will stop TWRP being overwritten by stock recovery on first boot. Disable all fingerprint/pin/password/face unlock security first, to be able to see your files correctly.
Youre better off flashing Magisk than SuperSU

Then you can still flash the fastboot roms. Guides are found here. Or use the included script.
Why would I want to disable dm verity after all?
