  7. Ok, first time rooting a Samsung phone but it is a little confusing. first it says for pre-requirements is that the boot-loader needs to be unlocked but to unlock the boot-loader it needs to be rooted??? how can i root if the boot-loader has to be unlocked first but it prevents me from rooting the phone since it says i need root to unlock it? I have the samsung note 4 N910V model. using Android 6.0.

  16. TWRP not installing THEN SEE THIS ….. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/137736/cant-install-twrp-on-note-4

    Note many devices will replace your custom recovery (TWRP in this case) automatically during first boot. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don’t follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

    Pull your battery, and disable auto-reboot in Odin connect via USB then boot into download mode to install TWRP as per instructions above. When successfully completed disconnect and phone will shutdown immediately, now you can replace your battery. Now when you power into recovery mode TWRP will have replaced your stock recovery 🙂

    • Yep. I also stumbled across this problem, and the exact same solution as you. Unfortunately I keep getting the “Seandroid Enforcing” problem using _any_ version of TWRP for my device :(.

  17. Hello Dibyajyoti…. thank you so much for taking your time to help us. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S8 which just released today 4/22/2017. I cannot find “Enable OEM unlock” under Developer Option. Could it be in another name? Please help. I’m trying to get my Call Recorder to work. When I bought this phone this morning and the store initiated to get the phone going, the Call Recorder was working. However, I wanted to start clean so I reset to factory settings and now Call Recorder doesn’t work. I’ve resetted 3 times and to no avail. I tried downloading different Call Recorder apps and I have the same problem. Apparently there is a way to make it work but first the phone have to be rooted? I cannot find any other instructions out there for galaxy S8.

  18. Hello Dibyajyot: I just bought the new
    Galaxy S8 yesterday. I tried to follow your instructions but I was stuck under click
    on “OEM” under Developer. It does not
    have that feature. I’m trying to root my
    phone because Call Recorder no longer works and it doesn’t matter which call
    recorder apps I tried 4 different ones and to no avail. It’s weird because when
    I purchased it yesterday, it works and I was happy. However, I wanted to start and wipe clean my
    new cell so I resetted it to factory settings. I have done this 3 times and I get the same frustrating
    result. Call Recording no longer work. Can
    you please help on this? I spent all day
    yesterday just trying to do this. If
    this doesn’t work I may have to return this phone. I record calls because I’m in sales and
    clients sometimes have strong accents and the only way for me to understand
    them is to listen to the recorded conversation over and over again. I really need this in my business. Please help me :–((

  19. I have a SM-N910F of H3G brand (Italy) latest firmware, could u guide me with a video/tutorial how to do all process? (From unlocking bootloader to root and twrp and flashing roms) Thank you very much

  20. I have the galaxy j3 emerge; this is my first time rooting any device. I followed all instructions to the letter, however when I go the recovery, pressing home+power+up volume then let all go at once once logo and booting screen comes up, i get a NO COMMAND then it takes me to the rebooting options. I am uncertain if I should be getting the down android with No Command, can you tell me if somehow I’ve done something wrong because it is not booting by itself and I am not seeing the twrp. I get reboot system now, reboot to bootloader apply update from abd, apply update from sd card then the wipe options, mount/system options

    I need some help here

    Just to add I selected reboot system now then followed the steps with installing supersu but when I open it, it says system not rooted then gives me a link to learn how to root which wasn’t helpful

    Can you please direct me in what I might be doing wrong? I get ssi so my funds are limited; if I cannot figure this out on my own or with your help, could you refer me to someone who can properly root my phone for a reasonably low cost? One-click Root charges just under 35.00 and that’s too steep on my budget

    Thanks bunches

  21. Hi i hope this discussion still alive.
    Anyway lets start with my case.
    I am currently using my samsung galaxy note 3 n9005 rooted with a Custom rom ( magma Aos6.0.1) for a long time now
    So that only means, i have my TWRP 2.8.7 working fine as well.
    But i dont know what happened , i tried to install the updated TWRP v3+
    I may sounds stupid as i dont know exactly what i flashed, downloaded the TWRP app from PS, flashed the lastest TWRP version from the app, reboot to recovery but surprised that it brought me to ODIN mode.
    Seems like my custom recovery wasnt there anymore.
    Cant reboot my phone to work during that time.
    So i flashed TWRP 2.8.7 from ODIN to get my phone to work.
    So i thought that i have my custom recovery back.
    But found out, everytime i go to recovery, it always taking me to ODIN mode.
    i do not have the custom recovery again, and need to flash TWRP to get my phone to work.
    Can anyone have the issue as mine?
    Was there any mistakes flashing custom recovery seems like its not actually flashed on my phone?

    Reply
    • Which phone you are using?
      Try this: Before you flash the recovery, untick the Auto Reboot option in ODIN. Then flash the recovery. After flashing in done, reboot your device directly to recovery mode from download mode by pressing Vol up + Power + Home button together. Now you will see the TWRP recovery is booted in your device. Now you can reboot normally and your TWRP will be installed.

  22. When I try to boot it into TWRP mode, it doesn’t come up with the folders like you see in the screenshots, it just boots into regular recovery mode.

    I thought it might be because I’m trying to use TWRP for Oreo (3.2.3-1) on a Pie device (Samsung SM-T380), but I tried looking for TWRP for Pie a few weeks ago and didn’t find anything.

    • You have to use the right files. Can you share your devices model number and your current Android version? Thanks

  23. I am using JODin because I am on Ubuntu 20. My tablet is a Sm-T380 wifi. When I run JDOdin it connects ok when the tablet is in Download mode. I selected the TWRP image and hit start. It prompts me regarding the partion file and then tells me it will extract it from the firmware. I follow the prompts and nothing happens. when I look at the part.pit file in the tmp folder it is empty. I suspect the process is failing because it can’t get the pit file.
    Since the tablet is wifi version it is not tied to any carrier. It was bought in Australia back in 2018.
    Any clues why this is happening?
