Hi all-
Is it possible to run your phone with encryption turned on for the flash and sdcard, and still be able to have root and use recoveries like TWRP?
Thanks!

My sister has a Sprint GS3, SPH-L710 and recently installed the 4.4.2 OTA (L710VPUDND8) not realizing that her apps will no longer be allowed to write/backup to her External SD card after the OTA (thanks google ). Anyway, I told her I could probably fix that problem by rooting it and making a few tweaks to restore the ability to write to the external SD card. Does rooting this phone require unlocking the bootloader (can you even unlock the bootloader anymore?) or can I get root without unlocking the bootloader? If so, what is the best/simplest method to use? She doesn't plan to be installing any custom ROMs, won't need a custom recovery and I'd like to root it without wiping her phone if possible. Thanks
This phone doesn't have a locked bootloader, to root just odin the tar for Philz recovery, boot directly into the recovery (uncheck auto reboot in odin, pull battery then boot to recovery) then flash the su.zip in recovery... Then boot the phone and you're rooted... Easy as pie

Thank you. Sry for my ignorance, obviously I'm not very familiar with the GS3. Can you direct me to step by step instructions? And will I be able to root her phone without wiping it? I want to keep this a simple as possible and not have to mess with restoring everything on her phone.
I found this on another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52610162&postcount=2. Will this procedure work?
Thanks again
It's worked for some people.
Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII with M.O.A.R. v9.0, dkp kernel dated 3/20/2014 and TWRP v2.7.0.0.
I can verify that the method in post #3 above did work. However, after reboot, SuperSU sent a message that it had stopped working. I checked and it was installed. I went and updated SuperSU to the latest version (v1.94) via the market. I then went to SuperSU settings and installed it into the system. I now had root access and SuperSU was running properly. I then installed NextApp SDFix from the market and enabled writing to the external sd card. All is good now, her phone has root access and her apps can now write to the external SD Card. Thanks to all for your help.
Hi all
Now my device was PheonixRom 18.8. I encounter the problem by can't encrypt data on my device. Somebody told me to remove root access and get recovery to stock recovery. Is there any way to encrypt data with root access and Philz recovery ?
Can someone give me the stock recovery of ND3 with flashable please ?
So sorry for my bad English.
Hi guys
I would like to know if anyone has managed to have their LG G4 fully encrypted while retaining root (systemless or normal root) and TWRP (2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0).
I attempted it once - without a nandroid backup - and lost everything. I believe on the Nexus 6 some users have found that they can flash the stock boot.img and then encrypt the device. Once encrypted they can boot into TWRP and root again and it prompts them for a password. I would guess this is for a newer version of TWRP that works with Nexus encryption though.
Thanks
Hey all,
I'm trying to better understand what I'm doing with my phone here. Currently I have my OP3 rooted (aka unlocked bootloader, correct?) and on 8.0.0.
1. If I wanted to keep it rooted and reinstall the OS, is this as simple as downloading whichever ROM I want, copying it to my phone's internal storage, and flashing it in recovery using TWRP?
2. Is stock recovery (recovery_OP3.img on the oneplus.net website) the same part of the software as TWRP? As in the stock recovery is locked bootloader and TWRP is unlocked bootloader?
3. I've been searching for the most recent root guide, can I get a recommendation? I've read that SuperSU is not the thing to use any longer, but rather Magisk. Correct?
4. What is boot.img?
Thanks all

1. If you switch roms, always do a clean install (wipe all partitions) . If you want to get rid off all the mods wipe system and flash the same rom + gapps + root. You won't loose data since you are only modifying the system partition.
2. Stock recovery by Oneplus is as if says stock, you littery can't do anything with it apart from upgrading your OOS, wiping cache partitions and doing a factory reset. I do recommend the TWRP provided by Bluspark since that seems to be the only one I tried without any issues whatsoever.
3. Magisk is the new root method in my opinion, it supports Magisk modules which simply are mods that can be installed and removed with a single click (reboot required tho). You can compare it to xposed but very limited when compared.
4. Boot.img is your kernel, never flash standalone img files apart from TWRP since the kernel modifies more the only the boot img. Always flash the full zip.
Hello guys,
I know this is possibile on other devices, but with the extra complications that Xiaomi added recently with ARB I thought I'd ask before I try: can I boot twrp (not flash it), flash magisk, reboot? The purpose is to have magisk but keep stock recovery so I can install OTAs normally.
I know that I should be able to flash OTAs through TWRP, but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible (it's not my main phone).
Thanks in advance for the replies!
Yes
