[Q] ( SOLVED) Please help. Can not flash Superu - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie.
I tried to root my phone but just can not flash superu.
I flash TWRP ( 2.5.0.0) via ODIN sucessfully with a green Pass . Reboot phone to recovery and Hit System and TWRP asked me to swipe if i want to root my phone. I did and my phone reboot after some action performed by TWRP.
I checked with root check basic and it said Root access is not properly installed on this device. I tried to run TWRP manager apk. It said to run the apk phone need rooted. So I know the phone has not been rooted.
I did the following to see if I can correct the problem.
1)Reboot to TWRP recovery and flash CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox zip file. No success.
2) flash another zip: su-3.0.5-efgh-signed. No sucess.
3) flash another zip: Update superU-1.51 : No success.
4) Flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.2.8 then try to run Install zip on SD card but CWTR return with an error "can not mount sd card "
Please help so I can root my phone. Thanks.

Installing blisspop

Is there a step by step procedure for installing twrp and blisspop on my e980? presently running the 20i firmware. Tried Flashify but it fails to install twrp. This phone has root but is carrier unlocked but has never been flashed so I am stumped. Any help appreciated
I had this same issue but with installing a recovery in the first place due to the locked bootloader and I couldn't find fixes.
But some info would be useful
1. What firmware are you on ex : Kitkat 4.4.2 etc - this can be checked in about phone option.
I used GPro recovery then flashed twrp via that using the unofficial cwm it installed file for the recovery at the bottom of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/root-bootloader-unlock-t3203573
Steps that may work
1. Enabled unknown sources in security
2. Installed the GPro apk file
3. Hit flash kitkat recovery for g pro
4. Moved the recovery.IMG file for twrp to /sdcard
5. Booted into recovery using the app
6. Flash the recovery.IMG file
What might work (worked for me)
1. Installed cwm using the above method steps 1-3
2. Get latest twrp.IMG (recovery.IMG)
3. Go into flashify
4. Hit flash recovery image
5. Hit choose a file and use your preferred file browser to navigate to your file
6. Hit flash now.
7. Reboot to recovery or normal reboot.
You can mix these two methods and try them differently as for blisspop
1.Get the .zip file
2.Boot into your recovery
3. Wipe System,cache,dalvik cache, and data.
4. Flash the .zip file.
5. Hit reboot to system
WARNING make a backup and check if the .zip is corrupted before booting into recovery
You can also Google methods for installing ROMs.
Hope I helped.

What about 'CWM Recovery' ?
If one succeeds with this TWRP and rooting, then I think one can change TWRP to CWM using flashify or Rashr, provided he/she should confirm that the 'CWM Recovery' will work on Lenovo A 7000 a with android 6.0 OS. But I do not know if the 'CWM' recovery thatwas used earlier when we were on android 5.0, will still work with android 6.0 or not. Can anybody confirm?
this is working men thanks:angel:

Use the stock rom found here to go back to factory settings using the stock marshmallow rom. Make sure that you flash using SP Flash Tool as instructed in the link. This will replace TWRP with stock recovery.
Afterwards, you can reinstall TWRP and root,etc.

I think you have copied the SuperSU-v71.zip in external storage and in TWRP you are searching in internal storage.If it is so the paste it in internal or change storage selection at the time of installing zip.
And paste the zip in root of the storage not in any folder.
As i can see this is your 1st post.
I think this will help you.

root problem after update to beta 19

hi,
my oneplus 3 has been rote since i got it (i bought it on launch day) but since i updated it to the beta 19, my phone is no longer rooted : when i put the phone in fastboot it says that my bootloader it unlocked but all the apps who requier root are saying that the phne is not rooted and i cant get twrp to work. i tryied with the official app on my phone and with a program called "tool all in one" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993) and when i flash twrp from the program, i can boot into twrp but then i can't access my files and after i boot the phone, i can no longer boot to twrp
does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve me wiping the phone?
You loose root after updating. Try installing twrp again and then rooting it. Use the toolkit for oneplus 3. Simplifies the process
what do you mean by "then rooting it" ?
the program i use does the same thing as the toolkit and when i install twrp, as i said, it can boot on twrp one time and in twrp i can't access my files and after i boot the phone i can't get back to twrp ,i get the stock recovery
Unless your ROM has built-in root, after flashing TWRP, you have to flash SuperSU or Magisk to obtain root. Mere flashing of TWRP will not give you root.
I know but i can't get to the folder when the magisk file is : when in boot into twrp i cant see my files
Few details... it's quite difficult to help you.
What's the root method? Magisk, SuperSU or Kingroot? Which version?
Ps TWRP recovery is not depending by root, you just need to unlock bootloader (surely it's already unlocked) and flash the same recovery, from PC, via the command "fastboot flash recovery filename.img".
Now enter in TWRP:
1) Wipe /system and /cache;
2) Flash another time Open Beta 19;
3) Flash Magisk or SuperSU (be sure to have latest release);
4) Move TWRP img file from computer to device, then flash it another time (because firmware provides the OOS stock recovery);
5) Reboot and wait 5-10 minutes, because of cache rebuilding.
Tell me if you solve
I am using magisk
Yes my bootloader is unlocked
My problem is that when i flash twrp i cant access my files so i don't want to wipe system if i cant reflash something after
I think that I'll wait for the next update, maybe then it will work
But thank you for your help
Which version of TWRP do you have? Try eng.stk's latest version.
I tryied 3.1.1-2
The eng.stk is not available anymore
Your phone is encrypted, so you have to format data ( but your internal storage wiped by formating data, so back it up ,then only twrp read files in your storage)and flash custom kernel then boot restore backup .
how do you know that my phone is encrypted? i never encrypted it
i use titanium backup so i can't back my phone up until i get rot back
Whenever you flash stock ROM it encrypt if you boot into system directly . So twrp could not read internal storage. Whenever you flash stock ROM you must flash custom kernel or any other method to avoid encryption. This is happened to me and what I'd done is flash custom kernel before boot into rom
To save your data try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/unencrypt-oxygenos-loosing-data-t3412228
Who said that? Check this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Edit: If you want to save items in internal storage, you can use ADB commands instead of TWRP. You can also simply copy and paste if your PC recognises the internal storage of your phone.
I succeeded but i had to clean everything and use the last backup i made a week ago
Thank you all for your help

[SM-A520F][8.0] Problems installing Root with A5 2017

Today I've installed the stock firmware version of Android Oreo 8.0 (the December Update) with Odin.
After that I've installed the TWRP also with Odin, the 3.2.3 version.
Then I wanted to root the devide so I start with the installation of Magisk (because I need to hide the root form some apps like Netflix), but it keeps failing with the ERROR 1. I've searched in this forum but none of the solutions worked. One solution requires the boot.img of the rom, but I can only get a boot.img.lz4 from the AP md5 file which i have no idea how to use.
Then I tried to install SuperSU (v2.82 SR5 version). I followed a guide but once I finished the flash of RMM State Bypass and SuperSU I rebooted only to be locked out of my phone. A message informed me that the integrity of the phone could not be checked (or something like that) and so I had to re-flash the stock firmware and the recovery with Odin.
Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? And where can I find the boot.img from the stock firmare?
I hope somebody can help me because I spent a lot of hours looking for a solution without having a working result...

Try again and redownload magisk.
Also, did you wipe data?

I tried re-downloading Magisk (the latest and the version before) but nothing changed.
Yes I wiped the data.
I've added that I'm working on a A5 2017 SM-A520F.

Hmm, did you reinstall stock firmware on it and try again? Error 1 happens when the zip is corrupted. What version of TWRP are you using, 3.2.3-0?
Um, did you flash no-verity 6.0.zip? https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...velopment/recovery-galaxy-a5-a7-2017-t3815931

I'm using 3.2.3-1.
I've tried to reflash with Odin the whole stock firmware, then I flashed the TWRP recovery 3.2.3-1 (I redownloaded every file), I entered the recovery and I flashed the no-verity 6.0.zip, only to be once againt cut out from my phone with the same message as yesterday saying that the integrity of the phone could not be checked and that I need to restore the phone.
I really don't understand what is going wrong...
I think I've made it? I don't know what I did differently this time, I'll post the solution here if someone needs it:
0a. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA!
0b. Put in your SD-Card the version of Magisk you want to install and the no-verity-opt-encrypt-x.x zip file.
1. Flash the stock firmware with Odin, when the PASS! message appears and the phone starts to reboot unplug the device and quickly re-enter in download mode.
2. Flash the TWRP recovery with Odin, when the PASS! message appears and the phone starts to reboot unplug che devide and quickly enter in recovery mode.
3. In recovery click Wipe and select Format Data. Then go back, click Install and select from the SD-Card the no-verity-opt-encrypt-x.x zip file.
4. Reboot your phone to system, configure the devide (account, ecc.).
5. Turn-off the phone and go in recovery, click Install and select from the SD-Card the Magisk zip.
6. Reboot your phone to system, install Magisk Manager and you're done!
TWRP and no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file: click.
Magisk zip and Magisk Manager: click.

i tried some stuff to change the rom i am lost please help

software status modified i wand to use linieageos with gapps and recovery TWRP somone to help me stap by step and save my life!!!!
love you all
You need to download the latest twrp for the Z2F/Nash from the TWRP site. One of the files is the twrp installer, which should be moved to your z2's sdcard. The img file stays on a PC.
Before you do anything, the Android platform tools should be present. Or you can instead install minimal adb/fastboot from XDA. Once you boot twrp you have to format data and type yes, so the rom and other files should be on an SD card. Alternatively, one may opt for adb sideload.
1.Flash LOS. Without rebooting, flash the twrp installer otherwise it won't stick.
2.Reboot recovery and flash gapps, then reboot recovery again
3. Reboot system
