No reported bugs in that build at all except CPEFS partition mount error(which isn't really a bug). Internal storage not mounting has absolutely nothing to do with TWRP. Unless you have some how managed to overcome Samsung's encryption or the /data partition is Formatted its still going to be unmountable.
All this is clearly pointed out in the thread, but I guess if people choose not to read...well.
can u upload the code to github for ease of modification, commit, update etc?
What is the version of this twrp? @mmxandy
You upload the wrong file is it? This is a stock recovery

I managed to flash and boot into TWRP recovery but i have partition problem :
"failed to mount data"
"internal storage is listed as 0MB"
http://imgur.com/a/Ut3S7

EDIT2: As mentionned by @jcadduono , there is a simpler method than mine :
BTW you can just flash TWRP and use the [Format Data] button on wipe page which will do the same thing, making data available (but completely wiped, including internal storage!!!)

EDIT3: use@ashyx' patch to remove encryption:
BOOT IMAGE PATCHER
Boot image patcher to remove DM-verity and Forced encryption.
Flash the zip below with TWRP.
This was built by jcadduono not me, so props to him, I just modified it to work for this device and to remove the SEANDROID ENFORCING message.
NOTE: IF YOU INTEND TO ROOT THEN FLASH THIS AFTER SUPERSU.

EDIT: I found out a solution to solve my problem, at least to root my device.
-Flash back stock recovery using odin
-Boot in stock recovery and Wipe data/factory reset
-Boot DIRECTLY in download mode (DO NOT NORMAL BOOT)
-Flash TWRP recovery using odin
-Boot DIRECTLY in TWRP recovery (DO NOT NORMAL BOOT)
(/data partition should be visible)
-For root flash Supersu.zip (or what you want)
-reboot system (device is now rooted)
Each time my device boot on android I lose /data partition in TWRP, maybe due to partition encryption
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes Exynos 7870 devices currently have a bug where Samsung is using their own crypto daemon and telling vold to force encryption regardless of fstab flags, I reported it to Samsung security team but not sure if they are looking into it. So far haven't found a way to prevent encryption from happening. (I removed all references to encryption in ramdisk & system.prop and it still encrypts, wow!)
BTW you can just flash TWRP and use the [Format Data] button on wipe page which will do the same thing, making data available (but completely wiped, including internal storage!!!)

I've been hoping someone would show up with the T585 in the #twrp channel on freenode so we could work on it, it would only take minimal changes (basically just take the dtb from stock T585 rom I guess, kernels should be exactly the same)
You could try flashing T580 TWRP and let me know if it works though, then I can just combine them if so.

I am too tired right now and not in the mood. Very sick, having some tooth issues and maybe we can sort this out somehow. But not today, I am really sorry. May be tomorrow. Add 13 hours to your time and you'll know if I am on-line or not. It's about 7 am here, been up all night and need some sleep. Just PM me whenever you can and I'll hop on Freenode.
I'm having problems booting from Download mode (after flashing recovery via Odin) directly into Restore mode... Is there a trick I'm missing? I can't seem to find a way to get the battery out so right now all I can do is reboot in Download_mode>cancel>volume up and I'm in TWRP but same partition/data issue as above. Thanks for any help

In download mode press [power + vol down + home], when the screen turn off press [power + vol up+ home].
But you should try format data in twrp (on wipe page) as mentioned by jcadduono. It's a easier way to remove partition encryption (wipe everything on /data)

To boot in download mode from stock recovery, go to power off or reboot system and when the screen turn off press
[power + vol down + home].
To boot in recovery mode from download mode, long press [power + vol down + home], when the screen turn off press [power + vol up+ home].
But this method it's tedious. Try @jcadduono method to wipe /data encryption from TWRP:

recovery t580
Hello,
I flash the TWRP in download mode whithout doing data/factory reset before in stock recovery but when i try to reboot in TWRP, because odin say success, i'm finally in stock recovery!
How many times i've to wait the bar stop in download mode? Because the bar wasn't totally full when i reboot, miss just a very little bit, but after few(too long) minutes i try to reboot to go on TWRP but not here, just stock recovery. I missed up something? I can't remove battery, is that for?
Thanks for your time
So this replaces the regular recovery image? If so the first thing I'd want to do is make a backup I guess right?
I know this looks to be early days, but anyone looking into cm on this device(just got it today) also any luck with xposed?

Samsung is really good about having odin flashable packages available so if there is issues you can always restore via download mode (never heard of a permanent soft brick in years for a Samsung device)

Do you know where I'd get one of these packages just in case?
I've used the first site not the second, sammobile is trustworthy. The other is for redundancy.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T580/
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T580
Also recovery and stock firmware is on xda, somewhere it's just hard to find since this device doesn't have a forum.

Yes, but the only real reason is so the device has the correct language settings. They should all be compatible but if you choose your region you don't have to worry.
Step 8 says to download the tar file in the AP slot, but the download page for TWRP is an img file, do I just tar the image using 7zip?

You'll find the link for the tar file in the OP (Temporary Download).
This device is more reasonable to buy as it is small and elegant at a decent price.
It is IP68 water-friendly device and the display is much better - higher FPS than on higher resolution OLEDs - good for action games.
Root using CF-autoroot
Download the file from CF-auto-root repository:

After starting the device in download mode, press Volume UP one to allow the download
A new COM port should be recognized by Odin after the device is connected via USB
Press Start button in in Odin
Rooting will take place automatically and the device will restart twice.
After the first restart you can disconnect the cable from the PC.
Second restart might take a few minutes.
After that you will find the SuperSU app installed.

Tap on Select Storage at the bottom and select MicroSDCard then tap OK
Browse for the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip and tap on it to install it
Swipe to install SuperSU (confirm Flash)
> Using CWM Recovery:
Select Install zip update package (use VolDOWN/VolUP to navigate and Power to select)
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Select SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip and press Power to install Super SU
The installation will perform automatically and the device will reboot twice.
First reboot will take longer. Please be patient. After the second reboot you will have SuperSU and root.
Downsides/bugs:
Knox will be tripped the second you flash a custom recovery (Warranty void: 1 - non reversibile)
(That means that you will lose the warranty for your device and that can not be changed)
(Perhaps that's why I personally can't invest more than $300 in a Samsung cellphone ever)
You won't be able to use Knox-related functions including Secure Folder ever again
Because of a SuperSU bug you won't be able to use Smart View (Miracast, project the screen to smart TV) unless you make an edit as follows:

Use a file browser such as Root Browser and go to the root of your device then locate the "System" folder and find build.prop and edit it with any application that can edit it and find the bottom line, right at the edge of the bottom line you need to press enter twice and then paste this:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
And then save it and reboot your device.

Special thanks to: ashyx for compiling and updating TWRP recovery for SM-A320F and to XN Logos for providing compatible CWM recovery with SM-A320F.
Please feel free to post your attempts on rooting this device and the results. If other methods will show-up I will include them up here.

Up to this point there is no success in rooting the Galaxy A3 2017 device.
This device is more reasonable to buy as it is small and elegant at a decent price.
Unfortunately there is no sign of working root method for the device.
Please feel free to update this topic with your attempts on rooting this device, and if success will strike, it will float up here for everyone to see.

Ok good then I will remove my earlier post. I don't have the device so I can't try it.
I tried again this morning with success!
I can have access to recovery but not to sd card (internal or no)... so I can't root the device.
Any idea?

Format the SD card on your PC using FAT32 option (use an USB adapter).
Copy the zip on the card, Insert it into the phone and reboot into recovery to test.
Yes... that's what I did. I found the solution into Google.
Thanks anyway for your help.
Do you think that it will be possible to install TWRP instead of CWM in recovery?

Yes. You can flash twrp in cwm and reboot to recovery. Twrp will be there instead.
wich version to choose?
Sorry. There's no twrp for a320 yet, but in general it's working fine to flash new recovery with existing one.
Hey guys, I will receive my a3 2017 soon and I was wondering if it would be preferable to root it now than waiting for the update to Nougat and re-root it then... Any idea when the update will be available for this phone? I was also wondering if I should use a specific brand or type of micro sd card with this phone?
Thanks
TWRP for C9LTECHN/SM-C9000 Galaxy C9 Pro
Special Notes:
1. DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE "OEM UNLOCK" (located in Developers options).
2. KNOX will be tripped once you flashed custom binaries to your phone.
(Your warranty may be voided. However this may not affect you if your country forces Samsung to provide hardware warranty regardless of software status.)
3. Samsung Firmware OTA (aka System Updates) will no longer work once you flashed custom binaries.
(You can flash custom ROMs if you want to keep the OS up-to-date.)
PLEASE BEFORE YOU FLASH ROMS MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM INCLUDING EFS SO YOU DO NOT BRICK YOUR MOBILE
WHAT IS TWRP?
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
How to intall TWRP using ODIN
1) Go to Settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” seven times to enable “Developer options”.
2) Go back to the main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select“Developer options” from there.
3) Under Developer options, look for “Enable OEM unlock”checkbox/toggle and make sure you Check it or turn it ON.
4) Now Boot your Samsung Android device into Download mode.To Do So Follow the steps below
5) Switch off your device.
6) Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin will automatically detect the device and show an “Added!!” message. If not then your device is not connected properly
7) Now click on the AP tab on Odin window and select the TWRP recovery .tar file that you downloaded for your device.
8) Click the Start button on Odin to start Flashing and wait for it to finish the process.
Once it finished successfully, a pass message on the Odin screen will pop up
Your device will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. Now You can disconnect your device.
Done!!! TWRP is now installed on your device
NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE TO UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN THE OPTIONS TAB IN ODIN

That's already for C9000. Can't you see the c9ltechn article. That's c9 pro's code
Thank you. I have already installed it.
I have flashed TWRP, formatted Data twice, flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip, flashed SuperSU and after that I can mount Data. But after a reboot I can't anymore? Am I doing something wrong?

You can flash any file still that just an article but you can't mount data anymore or backup data
I can flash files but cannot mount Data. I presume it is still encrypted despite being formatted twice?
Format data and reboot to recovery

So in TWRP format Data and then reboot again in TWRP.
And then flash SuperSU and no_verity?
Ok, I formatted Data twice in TWRP. Mounting Data works.
I flashed SuperSU in TWRP. Mounting Data works.
I flashed no_verity. Mounting Data works.
I rebooted into TWRP. Mounting Data works.
I rebooted into system and then switched off and rebooted into TWRP. Mounting Data does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
Correction:
I have now used this no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx file:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424951049
And now Data stays decrypted!
I do have a stock debloated rom that is made out of HK firmware if this community is interested, I can put it up. All I see is you guys using Aurora. Anyone interested or do you all want to stick to Aurora rom?

Info for Galaxy A8 Star:
CPU : SDM660 ( A only, 64bit )Support Project TrebleSupport System as root
※WARNING※
You will have to have OEM unlocked and this will void your warranty!!!
※also, I'm not responsible for the accident about you bricking your device※Step. 1
First of all, you will need to download two custom recoveries (TWRP, OrangeFox)
OrangeFox: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/orange-fox-recovery-galaxy-a8-star-sm-g885f.4301055/
TWRP: https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_samsung_astarqlte (test3 file does not work for me but you can try)
I want to finish it only using TWRP but the only TWRP that was working does NOT support flashing the system.img files
and also Orange Fox recovery has a bug that while in recovery you can't connect with the computer and push the files to the phone
so it was required to use two bootloader
Step. 2
Odin: https://odindownload.com/
I also recommend downloading the stock ROM for backup
1. after downloading the TWRP from the link (for Odin we will use the .tar file)
put your phone into download mode
Code:
adb reboot download
or just turn off the phone and press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
and use the volume button to boot into download mode
2. after the phone went to the download mode, go to Odin and at the ap section add the TWRP file then flash it
3. press the volume down, power button to turn off the device, and right after that press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
4. you will now see the TWRP recovery, press wipe, and format data
5. now we will download some files we needed
makemesar.zip: (at the attachment) or you can download it from https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?export=download&confirm=P1-1&id=1F_f_tL4sEYFx5fa6AnwR0x1tlYhqarcT ( when you unzip it there is the zip file )Permissiver_5.zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117940902Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/166texWJQhR1RgRoXiRSH_M2Q2mAyS2gC/viewCertification_Patch.zip: (at the attachment)Havoc Rom (you can use any rom you want but this is the one that I've managed to work) http://download.havoc-os.com/?dir=arm64-ab (download arm64 ab with gapps)most rooms with AB partition will be supportedMagisk: https://magiskmanager.com/ (download the apk and make it a zip file) - you could need for the phone to get the boot (makemesar will unroot it so don't worry)6. after downloading all the files that we need, we will push the files to our device using
Code:
adb push 'file dir' sdcard
※ also push TWRP .img file and the OrangeFox .img too!!
7. after pushing all the files we need to our phone, press install from the TWRP recovery and press flash from image
and select the Orange Fox .img as a recovery image, and reboot to bootloader
8. now you will boot to the Orange Fox recovery, (locate to data/media to find the files)
at the Orange Fox recovery wipe System, Dalvlk / ART Cache, Cache, Data
9. after wiping now install the os.img file and reboot to the bootloader (before reboot you will see the warning that OS is not installed), go to the menu and mount system, vendor, and install Dm Verity.zip, Permissiver_5.zip, makemesar.zip then reboot to the bootloader again, (now we will not see the OS is not installed) and now install the Certification Patch.zip
10. reboot to the system and you will see the new os setup process (sometimes you have to install the Certification Patch after setup the os )
10-1. if your device keeps going to download mode, reinstall the magisk and then reboot the phone, then it will work.
(after it boots, gently turns off the phone and install makemesar.zip first and install Dm-Verity to unroot) - some of you will be forced to use magisk but doing some wiping or reflashing the system.img sometimes makes the unrooted state work (or flash the stock system.img (extract from the stockrom) and flash the gsi ROM without wiping )
Screenshots: At Below
Currently, MTP does not work but I think this is the problem with the Havoc os, if you use another rom it could work
face unlock, fingerprint unlock works, the camera works.
if I manage to get other ROMs workingI will update the post
also at the first time I have made mine to boot without magisk but while doing again for this post I'm having trouble without magisk, if I found a way that works always I will add that to the post
[UPDATE#2]
you can download the Pixel 3 gsi rom from
(Thanks for Santa Duck providing this information!!!!)
with this files you can install the android 12 gsi rom in a usable state!!
and also ADB is working with this rom
there is still a bootlooping bug so do it with caution
[Update#1]
Today I have managed to install the Android Beta 3.1 [ is beta software and I don't recommend using it as your daily os]
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nippongsi/files/Pixel%20-%20Pixel4a_SBeta3.1%20-%20TBO42ZZ8IF/Pixel4a_SBeta3.1-AB-12-20210727-nippongsi.img.gz/download
you can download the ROM file from Nippon's Sourceforge
every step is the same and you just have to change the rom as this
there's a bug that developer setting crash the settings app and it is working but it does have some lots of bugs, and screen lock is not working but I'll try to fix it and upload the method
if your device get boot looped, press Bixby + power + vol down to boot into download mode and flash the stock AP file using Odin
[I was supposed to edit the upper one but accidentally created as a reply ]
Just go to UPDATE#2

Hi I'm back. Do you have any issue with wired audio? I have a A9 2018 (same chipset) and audio still goes through speaker while headphones are plugged in.
If anything in Phh Treble Settings helps you, please tell me. Or if you don't need any settings for wired audio, can you send me a zip file containing any files that have the name "audio_policy" in /vendor/etc? Thanks.

FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version or Rollback protection might kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.
Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

I notice I have bootloder on my device that I didn't install my self. I'm just a average user and have no clue how this was put on my phone. Also all of my apps are older versions an I'm unable to update them. I need help figuring out what's going on. Anyone please help!!!
@corsicanu
Many thanks for the latest update mate
1. Can I use this TWRP version with any custom ROM (e.g. Dr. Ketan ROM)?
2. Do I have to flash vbmeta.img, even when I have that custom ROM?
3. Is there a twrp.img for N986B that supports Android encryption, since right now encryption is somehow disabled after installing Dr. Ketan ROM: the lockscreen password has no effect and I can access and read all files on all partitions with the TWRP file manager !

1. Yes as long as the rom dev doesn't have other instructions regarding the recovery used (i.e. LineageOs)
2. No, you already have some nulled vbmeta flashed since you are running a custom rom.
3. Nope, since samsung uses proprietary encryption. You can however preserve data encryption in the rom (talk that with the dev of your rom), but this will make it unreadable by twrp in any conditions. Please keep in mind that Samsung fw may not like it and it can trigger a data wipe without warnings.

Re. 3.: With "fw" you meant FRP? But when I have root I can simply erase FRP and most Knox and other unwanted bloatware apks on /system, /product, /prism etc. ?
Btw. do you know if there is there a possibility to completely remove the Samsung ROM and replace it with a plain Android? You may lose one hardware driver for the "Sasmung Pen" but everthying else should work..?

i am trying to root my note 20 u device. when all succesfully start from magisk module and twrp, i find the screen flicker for a second every 15 seconds. I'm trying to figure out which app the problem is from. looked in screen recorder and found the problem. apparently from system ui. then start again from the initial step one by one. and the cause of the problem is after installing twrp. I'm on Ui5.1 N986B exyns. i feel twrp has a bug
Now im use back stock recovery and problem has gone
Hi it's been a while since I last install TWRP on SS phone, it got complicated now I have few question, can you help answering?

- For this, do I have to press the key combo 1 time only after clicking Start Odin or I have to hold till the progress done?

- I never install TWRP on my phone, do I have to follow this step?
-If yes, do I have to install that file right after TWRP first boot (when odin completed flashing)
And finally, does it support android 13?
Thank you so much
