These are the guidelines to install TWRP Recovery on Samsung Galaxy S7 models with Exynos processors. Those models we are referring to are our International and overseas models away from the United States. We will label them in more details after the break.

REQUIREMENTS

• The following guide for installing TWRP Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S& is intended for the Exynos processor models only. The devices which ship with the Exynos processors include the Canadian model, the International mode and the Korean model. Those model numbers are SM-G930F, SM-G930FD, SM-G930X, SM-G930S and the SM-G930W9. You can check our the model number of your Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone to find out if yours matches up by tapping on the Menu > Settings > About Device > Model Number.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• The TWRP Recovery in this guide will trip the Knox security counter on your Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone. That means your warranty could potentially no longer be in use. Get in contact with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover you under warranty if you trip Knox. Some will say yes.
• Enable the USB Debugging Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Exynos models by tapping on the Menu > Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging Mode.
• The following guide was originally made to install TWRP Recovery only. However, the Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with a DM-verity which can cause your devices to not boot if it isn’t done correctly. To avoid complications, you should follow this guide and root your S7 after you install TWRP Recovery.
