Can't edit cache.img file using simg2img and img2simg - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried on both windows and ubuntu.
First I try to flash the original cache.img
Code:
heimdall flash --CACHE cache.img
Works, no errors and everything goes fine. Now when I do...
Code:
>file cache.img
cache.img: Android sparse image, version: 1.0, Total of 16384 4096-byte output blocks in 14 input chunks.
>simg2img cache.img cache.raw
>img2simg cache.raw cache2.img
>file cache2.img
cache2.img: Android sparse image, version: 1.0, Total of 16384 4096-byte output blocks in 74 input chunks.
Without changing (or even mounting) the raw file at all! I just converted it to raw and back.
Then I tried to flash the new file again, fails. And as you can see they are obviously very different, even though I did absolutely no changes!
I verified the block size, the default one (4096) is the correct one.
Also, the original cache.img is 49.4 MB, the cache2.img file is 39.6 MB
The output when trying to flash the new cache.img file:
Code:
Uploading CACHE
100%
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: CACHE upload failed!
It should be the same file, but isn't. What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
Instead of using img2simg, I used mkuserimg.sh which created a file that's NEARLY identical to my original file:
Code:
>sudo ./mkuserimg.sh -s ./cache ./cache2.img ext4 cache 64M
in mkuserimg.sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
make_ext4fs -s -l 64M -a cache ./cache2.img ./cache

As you see they slightly differ now, but flashing still fails. Adding --verbose to heimdall adds this:
Code:
ERROR: Failed to unpack received packet.
Edit 2:
I'm using a Samsung device (Galaxy S7)

Fixed it in the end using manually compiled and modified binaries of the sim2img and img2sim. The original source is obtained from
github .com/ASdev/android_img_repack_tools/tree/android-6.0.1
and then apply this patch
gist. github .com/jedld/4f388496bda03b349f5744f367749a67
(had to add spaces because i'm a new user, but wanted to put this here in case someone else has this problem)
then build it, and it flashes now properly. (using simg2img and img2simg)

Issue with creating/flashing prerooted system.img

Having an issue making the prerooted system.img. Builds just fine only issue is when I flash it.
here is the error from the command prompt when trying to flash it:
sending 'system' (413386 KB)...
(bootloader) USB download speed was 32173kB/s
OKAY [ 13.172s]
writing 'system'...

Any ideas?

You don't have to, it won't help anyway. Might be your image is broken. Have you tried any others?
Did you create it using ext-4 tools in Linux? You can't do it properly with unyaffs for Xperia 2012 devices

yeh its not really complete. I had to find some help in other posts but its a starting point. Just gotta figure out if its something I am doing or if sony put something in .75 to make it harder to root this way.

I prerooted .76 without issues by using that guide.
Could you give us some more details about the steps you followed, and eventually post all the commands you ran and their output?

Agree with this post. I created my own shell script following that guide to pre-root image for .73 and .75 and never found any issue.
Would be great if you could provide us the steps and commands you used
I'll paste the commands exactly and their output when I get back to my computer.
This is what I get when making the img:
[email protected]:/home/jtking/Desktop/android# ./sin2img.py system.sin system.img
[email protected]:/home/jtking/Desktop/android# mkdir system; mount -o loop system.img system

[email protected]:/home/jtking/Desktop/android#
And again this is what I got when trying to flash that img
writing 'system'...

I was able to unlock the bootloader just fine with this system multiple times and had flashed the .73 system image previously so I don't think its an issue with the computer.
Thank you for posting commands you used here. Those are the same ones as I use so this problem seems too difficult for my knowledge.
There is a possible cause I'm thinking of now. That guideline creates 2 img file: system.img and system2.img. system2.img is the prerooted one and it is the file to be flashed via fastboot. Their names are confusing. The question is which file you used to flashed?
If your answer is system2.img, I think you did everything correctly. We need to find someone else who has better knowledge than me to help.

So the inodes and block numbers clearly differ from yours. I didn't try to flash it though, to see if it works or not, as I already got .76, but I'd suggest you try a different FTF if you didn't use the one I mentioned already.
Also, maybe it's unrelated, but when you ran make on the ext4_utils, was the result ok?

ext4_utils make went fine with no errors or anything.
Just to make sure I got the system.sin the right way. From the SEUS blob_fs folder I took the two biggest files from the .75 update download and and in flashtool did the decrypt files option. Took the system.sin file from there to use for this process.

Yes, you did it right way.
Okay not sure what the deal is then with making this pre-rooted system image. Now for the Superuser.apk and su files I got them from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Downloaded and extracted the Superuser.apk and su from the system/app and system/bin folders and thats what I was using to put into the prerooted system.img
Is that also the correct way to do it?
Not sure why I am having so much trouble getting this to work. If I upload the system.sin can someone else try making it to see if maybe something with my system is messing it up?

Need help with image repack. Make_ext4fs image doesnt load on device.

Hi all!
I have a tablet device Digma CITI 7507 4g, and have a task to put custom application to firmware to "priv-apps'.
So, what have i done:
1. Taken stock FW from manufacturer site.
2. Inside archive i found .pac file, i unpack that file with Spreatrum ResearchDownload tool
3. After unpack i found several files including some img's, and system.img too.
4. So, file system.img already in raw format and i can mount in to the folder
5. I copied all the content of a mounted folder to the system_new folder, and appended here my apk.
6. After that i packed system_new folder to the system_new.img with the make_ext4fs tool
7. Flashing firmware with new system_new.img through Spreatrum ResearchDownload tool
8. After that device is stuck on first screen with "Powered by Android" that'all ((((
9. Re-flashing with stock image becomes device alive

[Solved] Unable to mount '/data' partition, unable to re-encrypt system | LCD replaced after phone flooding.

// Update (Original problem described in the bottom of the post)
So I have actually tried a lot of different things, in the end I wiped the encrypted storage and everything else using TWRP however I have another bizarre problem - whatever ROM I flash it doesn't boot, there is only black screen.
Trying to repair the '/data' filesystem or change it from ext4 to ext2 and back in TWRP gives an error:
Code:
Failed to mount '/data' (Operation not supported on transport endpoint)
Unable to mount storage
Trying to 'Repair or Change File System' in TWRP for 'Internal storage' gives an error (maybe because its really '/data/media' folder? - https://twrp.me/faq/datamedia.html):
Code:
Invalid partition selection
Code:
'/data' (partition) = 'userdata' in parted = whole internal storage
'/data/media' (folder, virtual parittion?) = sdcard = user files in internal storage
It looks like after every system boot, filesystem change or repair, '/data' (internal storage?) gets unmounted and can't be mounted back. I used 'parted' and `adb shell` to recreate `/data` partition manually (called `userdata` in parittion table) but it didn't help:
Code:
adb push parted /
chmod 755 parted
adb shell

I am confused because it should be more than enough.
Summary: I can flash ROMs and other things, they install without errors but to do that I have to first use TWRP's 'Format Data' each time and Reboot to Recovery. After that '/data' can be mounted properly in TWRP. Every time I try to do anything with the partition under TWRP it "dismounts" and can't be mounted back, if I try to boot the installed ROM (clean, any) instead, I end up with a Black Screen which rebooted to recovery again prevents '/data' from being mounted (until another 'Format Data').
I have also tried older versions of TWRP (to no avail) and newest OrangeFox recovery (touch doesn't work, presumably due to the original problem).
// ORIGINAL PROBLEM
I really need your help guys, will be grateful for any assistance.
My `XIaomi Redmi 5 Plus` was accidentally flooded. I disassembled it completely, checked the parts, soaked and cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol, then waited for it to dry completely.
I have also replaced screen into this: https://allegro.pl/oferta/wyswietlacz-ekran-lcd-ramka-xiaomi-redmi-5-plus-8501826695?snapshot=MjAyMi0wMS0yMVQwMjoxNjo1Ny40NDRaO2J1eWVyOzUyNDA1ZTkzODY3MTkzYTRlYTVlOGZkYjM3OGIwZDJjOTQ0NGI4MmZiM2Y1MmQ4MGMzYjZlNGU4ODdkNzA1MjU=
I have `lineage-15.1-20180526-UNOFFICIAL-vince` ROM installed since 2018: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...al-lineageos-15-1-updated-26-05-2018.3780298/ (I am not sure if this is the correct version, I can provide the file if necessary)
Also TWRP and Magisk
My Android is encrypted and incompatible with TWRP decryption since day one (its a bug apparently).
Everything works except touch on Android (pre-boot auth screen), to my astonishment touch works under TWRP), I also have adb access.
Dirty and clean flashing different ROMs and kernels didn't fix the issue.
For future reference I fixed this issue with Black Screen by flashing the newest MIUI firmware (not ROM), it appears that firmware partition had to be corrupted or my firmware was too old.
Here is the file: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vince/stable/V11.0.2.0.OEGMIXM/
As for the issue with inability to mount storage ('/data') partition:
- As stated earlier it doesn't work in any version of TWRP at the moment
- I tried OrangeFox Recovery - touch not working.
- I tried Pitch Black Recovery and it mounts correctly: https://pitchblackrecovery.com/vince/
You see even if I was able to correctly boot my ROM I still had to mount '/data' because it turned out that trying to encrypt back my phone I was experiencing the issue described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/encrypting-just-reboots-the-phone.3405513/, caused by "Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place." error.
It needs 16 kb of free space so I had to use 'resize2fs' which didn't work in TWRP with the parittion being unmountable.
`Pitch Black` (PERP) uses slightly newer 'resize2fs' (and entire suite including it) version (TWRP: resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013), PERP: resize2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)), so I imagine this is what allowed me to move forward.
Installing `Pitch Black` has also fixed a long standing issue with broken encoding in 'adb shell' btw.
I backed everything up and tried to use the tool above:
Code:
vince:/ # resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p50 57G
resize2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)
The containing partition (or device) is only 13907833 (4k) blocks.
You requested a new size of 14942208 blocks.
Now I had more info:
Code:
4 k (kb) = 4 * 1024 b = 4096 b
partition has: 13907833 blocks = 4096 b * 13907833 = 56966483968 b
we need 16 kb of free space: 16 * 1024 b = 16384 b
new size is: 56966483968 b - 16384 b = 56966467584 b
in blocks: 56966467584 b / 4096 b = 13907829 blocks
Resizing threw:
Code:
resize2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p50' first.
So I ran:
Code:
1|vince:/ # e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p50
e2fsck 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)

After that the resize was successful:
Code:

resize2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p50 to 13907829 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p50 is now 13907829 (4k) blocks long.
After that the encryption was successful, so 16 kb is all you need indeed (for the record I probably caused this issue by manually recreating '/data' parittion from the terminal).
Next was the problem with battery life decreased by 75% (it entirely discharged in 8 hours).
At first I used aggressive profiles and Naptime on top of it (I measure iwith Accubattery). Slow charging over USB was actually draining the battery instead of replenishing it.
It turns out that there must be a Bug in crDroid 7.13 (Android 11) because as soon as I disabled (ironically) battery management for all apps and battery saver (even with Naptime enabled) it dropped drastically.
Code:
Settings > Battery > Manage Apps Automatically > Off
Now I found out that speaker doesn't work...
..and the battery is still being drained way too fast.

*** the continue part of Step by Step CREATE CustomAP framework file for GSI Flashing with Odin.
(Required Win10, 11 with wsl2 or Ubuntu or VirtualBox)​
(Our scope)​What are we doing now ?​1) unpacking super.raw with imjtool. ( super.img.lz4 -->super.img-->super.raw)
2) resizing system.img (in order to insert our modifications to the rom)
3) mounting system.img (Read/Write System)
4) do our modifications
5) umounting system
6) shrink edited system.img to the minimal size
7) generating new super.img
8) Create customAP file ( for flashing it to our device with odin.)
( Essencial tools)​Extract Sub-Partition inside super.img.lz4 tool​## Download Samsung framework file. (Stock Firmware)
## Extract "super.img.lz4" from (AP framework file) with (unzip FILE.zip) command. or uses utility from win 10
## Decompress "super.img" from "super.img.lz4" with LZ4 command
## sparse format ""super.raw" from "super.img" with simg2img command
## Use imjtool to extract the partitions of super.raw. Notice that partitions in a super image are split into several groups.
(The exact grouping varies across devices/OS versions, so one should always use imjtool to check first.)

Interact with the internal partition’s file systems tools​## Available in common Linux distributions
Extract lz4 archirve: lz4
Usage :
lz4 [arg] [input] [output]
input : a filename
with no FILE, or when FILE is - or stdin, read standard input
Arguments :
-1 : Fast compression (default)
-9 : High compression
-d : decompression (default for .lz4 extension)
-z : force compression
-D FILE: use FILE as dictionary
-f : overwrite output without prompting
-k : preserve source files(s) (default)
--rm : remove source file(s) after successful de/compression
-h/-H : display help/long help and exit
Sparse Format
simg2img​Usage: simg2img <sparse_image_files> <raw_image_file>
fallocate, resize2fs, dumpe2fs, e2fsck​
(Inaction Steps, "system.img" modification)​1.) Format of File​Let’s say we want to modify system.img. (May be from any GSI )
Firstly, check the file format.
Code:
sudo file system.img
Ex.Output
system.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data, UUID=6a979985-101a-4fa4-bd87-f3ff81ebaaba (extents) (large files) (huge files)
Although it shows ext2, but it’s in fact an ext4 image.
​2.) Resizing < system.img>​
All imges have been shrunk to their minimum sizes. In other words, there’s zero space left in the partition of which the image file holds. As we would like to add more files to it, we need to firstly enlarge the file to create some space, then expand the file system accordingly.
# Enlarge the file to 2G. (It can be any size)
# allocates more space for system.img 2GB
Code:
sudo fallocate -l 2G system.img
Code:
ls -lah system.img
Ex.Output
---------- 1 fortuner6898 fortuner6898 2.0G Oct 12 13:18 system.img
# Resize the filesystem
this command increases the file system size of the partion to ....xG
Try
Code:
resize2fs system.img 2G
resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (871879)
*Note not fit
TRY
Code:
sudo resize2fs system.img 3G
Ex.Output
resize2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (890902)
*Note not fit
FINAL TRY
Code:
resize2fs system.img 4G
resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Resizing the filesystem on system.img to 1048576 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on system.img is now 1048576 (4k) blocks long.
*Note this time OK
​3.) Mounting & Problems.​
create mount point directory
Code:
mkdir system
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img system
Ex.Output Error!!
Code:

​3.2.) Problem 2: came from SHARED_BLOCKS ​
It turned out that system imgage in Android 10+ is formated with EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SHARED_BLOCKS, found by @topjohnwu.
In other words, it’s read-only.
We can run dumpe2fs and check “Filesystem features” to confirm that the image has shared_blocks turned on.
Code:
sudo dumpe2fs system.img
Ex.Output
dumpe2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
dumpe2fs: Permission denied while trying to open system.img
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
​## Solution:
Luckily shared_blocks is merely a restriction at the file level. We can simply run e2fsck to remove it.
Code:
sudo e2fsck -E unshare_blocks system.img
​Ex.Output
e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)

​4.) Now we can mount the partition and do whatever modifications we like.
create folder mount point
Code:
mkdir system
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img system
Code:
ls system
Ex.Output
at system folder , manipulate everything from system.img with loop.
​4.1) How to modify system​in order to make changes you should use superuser:
you can use the file explorer with superuser permission by typing;
Code:
sudo nautilus
​when finished your modify task.
Code:
sudo umount system
​5.) Prepare for repacking ​
Once finished, we can start to prepare the image for repacking. The idea is simple: we firstly check and fix the errors in the file system (there’ll always be some, probably due to bugs in the previous tools), then shrink the image file back to its minimum size.
​
Code:
sudo e2fsck -yf system.img
Ex.Output
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 3A: Optimizing directories
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/: 7575/7776 files (0.6% non-contiguous), 871878/880082 blocks
​# # Shrink the file system to minimum
Code:
ls -lah system.img
output
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 4.0G ต.ค. 13 14:51 system.img
​
Code:
sudo resize2fs -M system.img
output
resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Resizing the filesystem on system.img to 871894 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on system.img is now 871894 (4k) blocks long.
Code:
ls -lah system.img
output
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tom tom 3.4G ต.ค. 13 14:54 system.img
​6.) Prepare formular file-size of LPMAKE​
6.1) # Get the size of all images.​
Before we repack, we need to know the sizes of all images in bytes.
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' *.img
Output:
1.) Group main 4 imgs​
odm.img 4349952
product.img 1188118528
vendor.img 718503936
Sum of the group-main​
(fixed size) = 1,910,972,416 ​ + ​(variable size) = system.img size​ ( 3571277824 <------ This is variable size.)
TOTAL = 5482250240
2.) super.raw (fixed size)= 6094323712​
​6.2.) Generating new super.img​
The same as Part 1 Command.
Our last quest is to craft a lengthy lpmake command to build the new super.img. Essentially that translates to three things:
-Define the groups
-Define which partition goes into which group
-Assign image files that correspond to each partition
​Most information can be obtained from the previous imjtool.
Some of the flags to take note of are:
--metadata-slots: same as imjtool’s output
--metadata-size: The maximum size that partition metadata may consume. A partition entry uses 64 bytes and an extent entry uses 16 bytes. I think 65536 should work in most cases.
--group: format of <name>:<size>. The size should be the sum of all sub-partitions under the group
--partition: format of <name>:<attributes>:<size>[:group], attrs must be ’none’ or ‘readonly’.
--image: for each partition, specify a corresponding image file
Once done, you should now have the new super image.

GET START​>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>​✓ Get " super.img" from inside Stock AP File​by Extract (super.img.lz4) file by Windows or Linux.​For Windows​Download lz4 for win and extract into C:\AnyName
from https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases
1) extract "super.img.lz4" from Stock AP Firmware file with 7zip, into lz4 folder.<AnyName>
2) go into folder lz4_win64_v1_9_4 and run CMD
Spoiler: pic
Code:
lz4 -d super.img.lz4 super.img
copy output " super.img" to uses with Ubuntu at /home/username/
>>>>>>>>>>>>≥>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
For Linux:​✓ launch Ubuntu terminal( console) from Start menu
2.1) Option We can uses LZ4 from linux, process same as (Step 1-2 for wins)
Ubuntu
you can install LZ4 from Ubuntu Console with
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get -y install lz4
or
sudo apt install liblz4-tool
note
lz4 [option] input output
lz4 -d (d= decompress)
lz4 -dc ( c=concatenate )
2.2) Option Extract "super.img.lz4" from Stock AP framework file.
and paste it to /home/username/
2.3)
Code:
sudo lz4 -d super.img.lz4 super.img
Spoiler: pic
2.4)COMPARE with using "lz4" between Ubuntu and Windows
​CONCLUSION of Beginning step.​WE CAN GETS " SUPER.IMG" FROM TWO WAYS , WINDOWS OR LINUX.
( windows from step 1-2 ) or. ( Linux from step 2.1 -2.3)
***We will use 'super.img' to begin our modification.​​✓ unpacking super.img​3.) Turn sparse format To RAW​Ubuntu
**First of all the super.img file might be in sparse format so we need to make it raw image. By Using "SIMG2IMG"
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install simg2img
Spoiler: Backward
I'm
ok
Code:
sudo apt-get install img2simg
After install execute this command.

✓Extract subpartition out from "SUPER.RAW"​4) Tool for extract partition. ( very important tool for show "group schema" which used to specific parameter option for lpmake.)
4.1) Download imjtool
http://newandroidbook.com/tools/imjtool.tgz
or download from attach file belows this tutorial (imjtool.zip)
4.2) extract "imjtool" from archive imjtool.tgz to /home/username/
*note for short i renamed it to 'imjtool'
4.3) then give it permission with command
Code:
chmod +x imjtool
5) Extract sub partition within our "SUPER.RAW"
By execute this command
Code:
./imjtool super.raw extract
It will extract sub-partitions (4 img files ) in the folder "/home/user/extracted"
- system.img
- vendor.img
- product.img
- odm.img
Spoiler: show group schema
✓ Modify Stock "system.img" by Changes with GSI-"system.img"​6) Choose your favorite GSI. ( Recommend PHH Treble- GSI )
Download from :-
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
6.1) Extract Downloaded archive & Replace "system.img" with your GSI img
(rename it to system.img over-written the old file.)
Spoiler: change stock system.img with GSI system.img
6.2 )
Move all img files (6.1)
from /home/username/extracted folder into /home/username/
7.) Get each partitions file size.
we can do it by:
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' IMG_FILE.img
:- do it for all partitions files.
7.1
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' system.img
Exam output---system.img 308 951 4496
7.2
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' vendor.img
Exam ouputt----vendor.img 718 503 936

*** the continue part of Step by Step CREATE CustomAP framework file for GSI Flashing with Odin.
​1.) Back to Stock Firmware.
It's still a good idea to flash stock firmware every now and then, because critical system components get updated and fixed, like the bootloader etc.
2.) If you used Stock A12, creates CustomAP (target GSI) and flash with Odin (include patched-Magisk of boot.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4)
BL slot: Stock BL
AP slot: CustomAP
CP slot: Stock CP
CSC Slot: Stock CSC
UserData slot: boot+vbmeta patched by Magisk.tar
After 1'st boot( Finished Flashing)
2.1 setup magisk v.24.3
(download additional some part) if not you can't uses magisk. And Reboot.
3.) If you used Stock A11
3.1 Stock A11 + TWRP
Flash GSI with TWRP' S Fastboot (with root)
* Your Computer must installed " Bootloader Driver " before. If not you
can't uses "Fastboot command"
Code:
Set of fastboot command.
adb reboot fastboot
>>>tab will auto reboot to "TWRP fastoot mode" (ignored black screen)

fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system yourGSI.img
>>> ignored invalid spare 'system'...at header magic
>>> divided PE system image file into parts suitable for write to dynamic tab
>>> system partition.
fastboot -w
>>>This will also erase your internal storage.
fastboot reboot recovery
>>>>>>Booting to TWRP

TWRP FOR Android 11 Device SM-T22x​No touch supported.
Used only (TWRP 's Fastboot)Mode.
​
Spoiler: Detail
》》FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Howto install TWRP For SM-T22x
# Patch Samsung AP Firmware via Magisk v24.0 ( patched entire AP file)
1. Install Magisk.apk on your device SM-T22x with select no update checking, and transferred AP_xxx.tar.md5 from computer to your tab.
2. Patch Samsung AP Firmware via Magisk Manager.
( Once done, the newly created magisk_patched.tar file will be present under the
Downloads folder on your device.)
3. you may now transfer this patched TAR file to the folder on your PC where other extracted firmware files (AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC) are present.
4. FLASH it with ODin as usual by used magisk_patched.tar file at AP slot .
5. REBOOT SYSTEM Quick SETUP < NO NEED INTERNET>
6. Power Off and press Volum up +Volumn down + USB for boot into Download mode
7. FLASH TWRP.tar from https://github.com/DevZillion/android_device_samsung_gta7lite/releases at "AP slot"
But this time set Odin option NO Auto- REBOOT, yes do it yourself with key press ( power + volumn up).
## if you can't use keypress but reboot to the system , you can use cmd " adb reboot recovery "
When had access to twrp menu
Go to Advanced > Terminal and type "multidisabler" (without quotes", then data wipe.
Now reboot into system, after completing first setup of the device reboot into TWRP again to see if you can see the contents of your Internal Storage, you should, if yes you have successfully disabled Samsung encryption of internal storage.
NOTE: If you wish to install TWRP without rooting, there are numerous pitfalls to consider. For example, a stock device is protected by Android Verified Boot. This is implemented as a vbmeta partition that contains cryptographic digests for verifying the integrity of boot.img, recovery.img and other partitions/images. Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled will render your device unable to boot.
Note:4
very important bootloader driver for fastboot of the twrp.
Android Bootloader Interface Drivers are needed for your PC to identify the device connected in Fastboot Mode and hence execute the desired Fastboot Commands.

Thanks for letting me know that rom doesn't work
Ok in the end I just disabled samsung's encryption and full touch for Twrp
I don't quite understand I just flashed twrp from odin
it's not as messy as you say and it still works
Can I use adb to backup data on this rom and restore it on another rom?
