Not starts in Download
I m not able to enter Download mode on note9. It is continuously restarting.
When phones is off, i m holding Volume -, Bixby and Power. Phone vibrates once, turns on, but after 4-5 second, again vibrates and shows starting logo, and it continously repeating until i hold all three buttons. If i release power it boots in safe mode..
What i m doing wrong ?
If I press Vol +, bixby + power it successfully goes to recovery..
Is any other way to flash this package, may through adb in recovery mode ?

Which Odin version do you guys use ?

Odin_3.10.7.zip

Also tested on N960F and can confirm that it works. Back up created and reboot to system worked flawlessly. No zips to flash as yet but works fine for me.

It's a root package like supersu, if you want to root your phone you need to flash magisk zip, it's not in the first post because this thread is about twrp and not a how to root

i am not able to do it. with phone off, pressing bixby + vol down does nothing no matter how long i press.
with bixby + vol up + power, phone enters stock recovery but odin 3.13.1 says "removed"
i have sm 960F and i rooted previously with dr Ketan method.
what is wrong?

How to flash using Odin?
If you have kies installed - uninstall first!
Download and extract "GT-I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5.zip" once - you will now get the Odin-Flashable "GT-I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5".
(If you got a "recovery.img" then you extracted twice! Odin can not flash *.img - but feel free to use Heimdall!)
Download attached Odin3.zip and extract it.
Run Odin.exe as administrator.
Add the twrp.tar.md5 as "PDA".
Re-partition and auto reboot NOT checked (i disabled all unneeded Options to be on the safe side )

}
Now boot your device into downloadmode. Press volume down, Homebutton and Power-Button at the Same time
Your Device now boots into Download-Mode
Press Volume Up to confirm
Connect your Device to your PC and wait for Odin to detect it - maybe it takes some minutes until all drivers installed.
(SCREENSHOT LATER)
Everything right? You´ll be good to go if you followed all steps before!
Now press start in Odin.
Wait for Odin to finish flashing - wait one minute more after that to be sure.
(SCREENSHOT LATER)
Now disconnect and directly boot into recovery using the hardware key combination - Press volume up, Homebutton and Power-Button at the Same time. Release the Power-Button after the S3 Mini Logo - keep pressing volume up and the homebutton!
Happy TWRP
Time to get free from the Nova oppression :highfive:

m.
@mauam mine is based on latest TWRP Source, there have been some changes in the meantime - also compiled myself
Very good, but you could compile a AOSP or MIUI for us? supporting all variants of the S3 Mini 8190/L/N
Good Work Thank you Android-Andy!!!

Well excellent work, I will keep with your twrp instead. Yours has a option to adjust the brightness, nf twrp not:laugh: Keep up bud:good:
I rooted with CF-auto root and now im in "Android system recovery <3e>" and not ODIN as before.
I tested "apply update from exteral storage" with twrp2.7_golden-20140508.zip, not working. I got "E:signature verification failed"
How do I get TWRP in?
@belgar
Download "I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5.zip" and extract it once - you´ll now have a "I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5".
Run Odin as Administrator.
Place the "I8190_TWRP_2.7.0.0.tar.md5" in as PDA.
Make sure Re-Partition and Auto-Reboot NOT CHECKED!
Boot your Phone into Download-Mode.
Connect it with your PC, wait until Odin added the device.
Now in Odin press "Start". Wait untill Odin finished flasheing - better wait one minute more.
If flashing didn´t failed (watch the text in Odin) reboot DIREKTLY into recovery using your Hardware-Keys.
That´s it
Edit:
BTW: Do we have CF-Autoroot for golden? Don´t use from other devices!
Sry! It wasnt CF-autoboot, i flashed another device the same day.
It was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108900.
Pressed the wrong combination when I started the device. Pressed vol UP instead of vol DOWN.

I cant uncheck "Auto Reboot", its all greyed out.

Pre - HOW-TO PREPARE FOR FLASH: (Chinese/HK variants)
SPECIAL NOTE: These variants do NOT have "OEM Unlock" option and you don't need to enable it. Only reactivation (Samsung Account) lock needs to be disabled.
1. On your phone, open Settings, go to "Cloud and Accounts" -> "Accounts".
2. Select your Samsung account, open menu, remove account. (That will make sure reactivation lock is disabled. Alternatively you can disable reactivation lock without delete your Samsung account. Result should be same. )
3. Download, install and run official unlock tool, CROM service.
4. Your phone is unlocked and ready to flash TWRP at this stage. Now you can proceed to part 1.
Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
2. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
3. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
4. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
5. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
6. Connect your phone.
7. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
8. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
AT THIS STEP YOU CAN DIRECTLY GO TO PART 3 OF THIS GUIDE IF YOU WANT TO ROOT.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs, Kernels via TWRP.
Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
Note: Additional security layers implemented by Samsung make it impossible to get root access with a modified stock kernel. Thus, a custom kernel with security features disabled is MANDATORY.
1. Download a custom kernel with security features disabled.
- Reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/kernel-jesse-s-kernel-galaxy-s8-s8-t3637640
1. Download the root package.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zips to your phone.
3. Flash the kernel.
4. Flash the root package.

No, only for the Chinese Snapdragon phones. You can't root a s8 in the US because no one s figured out how to unlock the bootloader yet.

9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.) (for the moment not working)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/". (for the moment not working)
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.
Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
1. Download the flashable zip.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Part 3a - HOW-TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
1. Download the flashable zip.
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Simple.
Omg I'm gonna die happy lol. Let me go and root now.

Good work keep it up
This is great. Many thanks
Great job and many thanks for your efforts!
Do I get this right?
When I'm in download mode, I have to hold the 3 buttons again and press start in odin ?
Doesn't that interrupt the flash process ?

There's no guarantee a software update will ever unlock your bootloader if the OEM Unlock option is not available for you. I would suggest selling it and buying a new one that does have the option. If you really want to root or install custom ROMs, why take the risk when you spent $1000 on this phone for a specific purpose?
If you just bought your phone, it must still be brand new and in pristine condition. You should sell it for almost full price. The demand is really high right now so you'll have no problems selling it fast.

can be your carrier blocked the oem unlock. download a debranded firmware like the one with AUT or DBT csc and flash it with odin and look if you have then the menu. But flash it only when you have a N950F or a N950F/DS
Has anyone tested Android Pay after doing this?

Thank you very much for your fine work.
I went to the download site, and the file TWRP-3.2.1.0-greatlte.tar does not seem to work with the latest Odin for some reason.
So I used the recovery.img via the older TWRP on the phone and all good.
Tnx team...got the .img and flashed...reboot in recovery...and working like a charm...realy appreciate the works ??

This is the newest version. The other is a older version and i think from maintainer. No more Supports, because there are no new Updates since months

You can Either use Odin (I re-uploaded a new Tarball) or just flash the image via an earlier version of TWRP..so far this has no bugs, I tried ADB sideload, backup and restore and had no issues..

Edit: Tried it a 2nd time and now it was working. The 1st time I flashed the recovery, rebooted into recovery and started the backup. Guess that this was the problem.
Hi,
I just installed the new TWRP 3.2.1.0 and tried to make a full backup.
But it was not finishing it. After more than 45min I canceld it.
Please find enclosed the log file which was created. Hope it helps

[BRICK] One UI update causes brick

Ok, long story short. It happened after 6months of me daily avoiding the 9.0 update on my sweet Oreo. I have accidentally pressed the INSTAL NOW button. And it happened the blue screen and update process.
It went all through the optimization of apps.
Then this screen popped up
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And I don't know what to do because
1st I don't accept the fact of deleting any app data from my phone. ANY
2nd I'm not gonna stay on Android Pie nor flash anything unofficial.
Those are options I have in recorvery.
Also the code you might spot on the bottom of these screens is unknown.

Can anyone guide me to dirty flashing the XEO Oreo for my European SM-G965F D/S
I believe this is latest update i want https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965F/XEO/download/G965FXXS2BRK3/248620/
Now the phone is bootlooping
@@@ I forgot to mention that i was using Swift Installer to mod apps and system UI to dark oled. When i pressed update if ****ed up. Logs point at it.
Please tell me what to do. I cant lose my apps data.
Try with full firmware for your CSC and latest Odin. Chose HOME CSC file when selecting files for flash so you can try to keep all your personal file without wiping!

Thank you very much for your reply.
So I'm right to use OREO to do dirty flash as it should work with swift installer mods that could be replaced by Pie update due to mishmash or something.
I'll try after I get a reply from Swift Installer team. As it must be it since no one had a simillar problem.
I have lots of odins form XDA but i guess this is legit sitehttps://odindownload.com/download/
Meanwhile, if it fails, does anybody know the best way to pull all possible apps with full data and cache?
I used this multifile FW (DBT) Germany

1. Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME_CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
2. Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.3. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data.
3. Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode (make sure your device is off) with the following button combo: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
Other options in case first option did not work or isn't possible.
Option 2 VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP than USB cable
Option 3 POWER + VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP
Option 4 POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON
Option 5 (Note9) USB cable + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
4. Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a BLUE box will show up with the COM port number. (Be sure, the SAMSUNG-drivers are installed on your PC!)
5. Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
6. Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS' in a GREEN box. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot, and you can disconnect your phone from the PC.

Flashed as you said but with this oreo https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965F/XEO/download/G965FXXS2BRK3/248620/
as you haven't linked specific, firmware.
Now he's in a permanent boot loop. Samsung logo is blinking for a few minutes, then it says that he optimizing 115 apps (1st one was longer) after its done its starts all over again. Nearly hour has passed.
I cannot enter stock recovery, he doesn't respond at all. Download mode is working ... but all I can do now is leave him till the battery dies and burn my pixels entirely in Samsung logo place.
I also tried all recovery programs that pull apps and data but none works for sgs9
After 5h battery finally died. If you have any ideas ill be waiting
Try to flash the last Pie firmware for your device? You can use [Tool] Frija - Samsung firmware downloader/checker instead of SamMobile because it's much faster. Also, I will recommend doing full wipe or just to use the CSC the will wipe everything.
I think this happened because you didn't uninstall on the first places the mods you had - Swift Installer in your case, but the same applies to Substratum. Swift Team also recommends to delete, there is even adb script, every layer that you have installed, before doing OTA update, because may bootloop your device or in your case even brick it.

Its exactly what you said. The Swift Mods have interrupted the Pie update.
I tried with oreo but now I'll try the Pie ... i can't think of deleting all my data :crying:
Not sure if you can restore from google account some information or Samsung cloud.
I have the same exact problem and I had hope to solve it. But neither flashing Oreo or Pie helps. It bootloops.
I want to access data stored in Android/data or just backup apps. Did I tick something wrong or should i flash custom recovery.
i have the same problem
I think there is no data keeping and retrieving of those back in your case!
Full clean flash should work, sorry for this answer!
