samsung s6 edge twrp

Buldozer · 2016-03-10T18:08:07Z

I'd like to ask your help regarding an issue I'm facing with s6 edge. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F, fingerprint locked) and by the help of Odin3 v.3.10.6 I installed the twrp_5.1.1_edge.tar on that. My aim was either to get access to the datas on the device or unlock it. During the Odin process I have ticked off 'Auto Reboot' and the TWRP was successfully installed. As I have started it, I wanted to make a nandroid backup but unfortunately there wasn't enough space on the phone, so I could manage to do only a system backup at first time. Since then I can not boot up the phone in normal way, the system booting is not working. I can push the system restart from the TWRP, but as the booting logo appears it freezing. I can restart the device in download mode and I can also achieve the TWRP in recovery mode, but I am not able to boot the phone up normally. I wouldn't like any data loss happen, but at least I'd like to recover the system boot up as it was before. Thank you guys for your answer in advance.

All you need to do was to flash N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included.zip file via twrp and the sm-g925f will boot up normally.

Maybe - just maybe - that technique wasn't available in March 2016? ?

@jaclaz hmm you may be right )

Anyway the bootloop problem was because the device uses dm-verity
Flashing this file above solves the bootloop.

Now I have exact same device (SM-G925F) but with security patch level from 1 June 2018 and I was wondering if this file is still good to solve the bootltoop after flashing twrp or maybe because of security patch it wont work anymore ?
