Flash TWRP Recovery & SuperSU Root For Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F

This TWRP 3.0 Custom Touch Recovery is for the International Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F/FD/X, and Canadian SM-G935W8 Exynos Edge models only! Do not flash on regular Samsung Galaxy S7 or Qualcomm models! For Galaxy S7 SM-G930F please follow this guide.

WARNING #1: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on. You generally don’t have to worry, as it’s incredibly hard to brick a Samsung device, and physical damage warranties should be exempt from Knox triggering.

WARNING #2: The Galaxy S7 stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications! SOLUTION: Follow the full rooting steps below, in order, to allow system modifications without the risk of a boot loop!

WHAT IS TWRP?

Oh come on, you know what it is – don’t try to fool me! In case you’re serious, though… Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices. It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

DOWNLOAD TWRP For Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F (hero2lte)

There is a download link there, as well as instructions on how to flash it.

I highly recommend using Odin to flash when possible. You can Download Odin For Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 Edge Drivers.

11. If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
    Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
    Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
    Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
