I have been flashing away on the latest recovery and have not had a single crash or problem installing any zip. I updated mine from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 via GooManager without a hitch. I will be sure to post-back with any issues that may arise. Thanks for all the continued hard work devs ;)

Flash a .zip that has a script calling for many ui_print lines and you'll get a crash for sure. An example would be the NOS Injector

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

Yeah but the dev for the nos script says it's not compatible...it wasn't made for twrp...that's not a bug...unless they state it's supposed to work with that....maybe twrp team can add other things but I never had one crash either using this for what it's compatible with...

Sorry for possible dumb question....

I have searched this thread with no success.

I believe that TWRP Recovery is not available for S2 International.

I.e.GTi9100

IS this still correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dees_Troy:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

i9100 has recovery in boot instead of a proper separate recovery partition meaning that anytime you install a new ROM or kernel, you get whatever recovery is included in the boot.img making it much harder to get & keep twrp. There are some kernels out there that have twrp for your device.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Welp, installed via Goo, which i've done for the past two releases, rebooted into recovery, saw the first Samsung screen for about 2 seconds, then blackness for over 15 minutes.

battery pull, tried to turn on without going into recovery, same deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dilfatx:
Got soft brick installing this from goo manager

I installed the recovery through goo manager. went to reboot phone into recovery to confirm.. now my phone does not boot up past the samsung words when i first turn on the phone.

I did manual boot into recovery pressing the volume buttons and that doesn't work.

I attempted to connect to Samsung kies and that doesn't work.

I attempted to connect through ODIN and that doesn't seem to work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also my computer doesn't recognize my phone when connected through usb either while phone is off or on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
-remove battery for a second to make sure its completely off.

-Insert battery

-hold down volume - and volume + while plugging in the USB

-release the buttons when the "Warning" screen shows up.

From there you have to start up the Odin program, check the PDA box then select the .tar file.

-Back to the phone, hit Vol +.

-Back at Odin, hit start.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Woody:
I all fairness, if someone sees the TWRP has been updated, they usually go to Goomanager.apk and install it that way. I mean wasn't that one of the reasons why the app was created?

I would dial it back a little bit here, especially since not more than a few hours ago, you were in quite the predicament as well, eh?

@Sk8ter - 2 things: Are you sure you are in the right section? Your signature says GNex. Also, not sure if Mobile Odin works with the T989 but you can flash the .tar file through that. My wife has a T989 and I might give it a try when I get home and see if it works. But that will be hours from now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] I Am The Frost:
Yes I rebooted. Worked fine. But from what I've read of your situation I wouldn't reboot. Instead see if you can mount in recovery as USB and drag over a freshly downloaded copy of twrp and drag it over, unmount and install the zip. Using the internal should be ok.

It does you just have to manually select it after you press the backup button...it will give you the option to back up system, data, boot, recovery, cache, and .android_secure

One of the problems with Samsung bootloaders is that the bootloader doesn't clear the flag that tells the bootloader to boot recovery. If you get a bad recovery flash, the bootloader will continue to try to boot recovery until you flash a working recovery that clears the flag.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dees_Troy:
Android secure is just a folder on your sdcard that Android uses to store apps when you're using Android's native app2sd feature that was introduced with Android 2.2 Froyo. Wiping android secure isn't going to cause any serious problems except remove any apps that you might have moved to sdcard. Android secure automatically gets wiped during a factory reset if it's present.
