2.6.0.0 is now available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
What's new?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
Changelog at:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
After I make a nandroid, I drag a copy of it to my CPU.

This has been working great up until the latest 2.6.0.0

you can make nandroid backup, and when trying to move to CPU, it won't move the entire folder over, making the backup of the backup useless. Had to go back to v2.5.0.0 hope to see a fix for this. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bright09:
is there another way of installing this besides terminal i need to update but i saw there was issues with 2.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I just install using the EZ recovery.apk

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bright09:
and i shiould be able to flash it from there thanks

the app hasnt been update :( need 2.5..0.0 thought
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What Andy is saying is that if you download the TWRP 2.5 img from the TWRP website then you can install that file using EZ Recovery. Yes, EZ Recovery is outdated, but you can install recoveries from there if you have them on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bright09:
opps my bad i didnt see the option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
So, what are the problems with 2.6? Anything besides this weird thing about moving files to a cpu, which sounds totally bizarre to me? I haven't noticed any problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I can move files fine if they were backed up with v2.5.0.0

but with 2.6.0.0 they don't FULLY move.

they will move only 2 out of the entire 6 files needed.. system is the main one and that one will neer move with a 2.6.0.0 nandroid backup from phone to CPU...

so you may see that you can move the nandroid if using 2.6.0.0 but it may not be fully moving it.

Could only be me, but I doubt it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm unable to test this until Wednesday night at the earliest. Hopefully a couple others can test this as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I'm using 2.6.0.0 and I'm having no problem copying from my phone to a folder on my PC. I usually use cut & paste rather than drag & drop because of my file structure but that works perfectly. I just did a drag & drop copy from my phone to my desktop and that also worked. I also have no issues going between my ext sd card and the phone's internal storage in either direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
the only issue is from phone to PC. The others work fine...

are you sure all the files transferred to the PC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bright09:
having issue with 2.5.0.0 i cant restore from ext sd and ive copyed my back ups to my interenal and i still cant any suggestions?

Edit : cannot downgrade back to 2.4.4.0 from 2.5.5.0 wont boot into recovery or could be bad flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Download goo manager from playstore.

Open app hit menu button and choose install open recovery.

Easiest way to install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I get all the files on the PC and they all have the same size as they have on the phone. I haven't copied a backup from the PC to the phone and then restored it since I updated to 2.6.0.0 but I can try that if you want. Let me know.

TWRP crashes when restoring Data.

I have been using 2.6.0 since it came out and using TWRP for a long time till recently when it stopped restoring any nandroid Data that I backup with it no matter if it is in the internal storage or the external one and even if it is a new backup that I just created. Since it started it's giving me errors ("E: Error opening ' data/lost+found") every time I do a factory wipe. I reverted to 2.5.0.0 and it didn't fix the issue. I even flashed CWM and deleted all trace of TWRP from the internal and external storage and then did a factory wipe of system, data and caches, reflashed a new rom and then reflashed TWRP 2.6.0 and still having the same issue. CWM works without any issues.

Please help me figure this issue out cause It is so much easier to use than the touch CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcasado94:
Stucked at recovery. No touch.

Hello. I have a big problem. I installed TWRP 2.5 in my HTC One, and when I went in, the screen touch does not work. I pressed the power button to power off the phone, but it just went to the lock screen, which says "swipe to unlock", and I obviously can't. I also can't power off the phone, even pressing the power button for a long time... what could i do now? wait till the battery is over, charge it and then open bootloader or normal OS? Will that be possible? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenbrownstone:
I'm guessing battery can't be pulled..... There should be a combo of buttons that u can push at the same to time the phone off....think they have to be held down for 15-20sec .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Might want to head over to one of these forums and ask question there; would suggest Q&A forum on first link as a starting point. Someone there should have you an answer faster than a generic TWRP forum.

2.6.1.0 dropped. Haven't looked over github yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nawdman:
*What's new in 2.6.1.0:

Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)

Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)

Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs

Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup

Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match

Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible

Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations

Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

sup guys, im on a rooted verizon galaxy s3 and I'm trying to install the new version of twrp through the goomanager app. every time i go to install it it downloads fine, then a screen flashes real quick and a toast notification pops up and says recovery installed, but it never goes into recovery mode and when i manually boot into recovery my version is still at the previous version, what do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] poontab:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I'm having the same problem.

But when I try and run that command, it says it can't find the file.

I notice it says to "Select the latest .img file from here". I have the img file on the sdcard0/goomanager folder, won't recognize it. I put it on the SDcard, doesn't recognize it. (Get the error message "can't find file" using TE/that command)

What am I missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
I'd try forgetting goo manager in superuser, uninstall it, reinstall and give superuser permissions, and try again through goo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Gave it a go, Jack and same results, nothing happens. Thanks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I had the same problem on Slim Rom 4.3 and just got it to work by changing the GooManager download path in Settings to /storage/emulated/legacy/goomanager/.

We had to do a similar thing for Titanium Backup.

See if that works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
That worked for me. Good looking out, thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JRJ442:
Whoops!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chimpsnest:
It's been, in technology terms, a million years for me when it comes to rooting and flashing roms.

I used Casual Root to one click root my S3, I confirmed root w/Root Checker from the app store, I have the SU app, I used TiB to back up my stuff - so I know I've successfully rooted my phone.

My issue lies here... I've downloaded GooManager and attempted to use it to install TWRP. I've done this twice now, I hit "menu" in GooManager, tell it to Install Open Recovery Script, yet after this is done and I try to reboot into recovery I get the old "verizon has detected unauthorized blah blah, please turn off your phone and bring it to an authorized dealer...."

If I reboot w/the volume down/home/power button and then just tell it to continue I can reboot the phone (thank dog)

Now, when I go into GooManager and ask it to reboot into recovery it looks like it just gets me into the standard Android recovery options:

-reboot systems now

apply update from adb

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

I've read the last thirty or so pages of this thread and can't seem to figure out why this is doing this - I know I have root, I'm just missing something here. I'd love to be able to use TWRP - and I also should mention than now, when I reboot w/the volume up/home/pwr buttons pressed I cannot get into recovery, it just boots normally.

Thank you a million times over, it's good to be back, I love flashing ROMs and am well over due w/this S3 - this is not how I wanted to start off, lol.:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You didn't unlock your bootloader. Download EZ Unlock v1.2 from Rootzwiki and install that app. Then press unlock. Having a locked bootloader will cause the yellow triangle warning.

Let got of the power button when you feel the phone vibrate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chimpsnest:
Facepalm, thank you....

EDIT: Misinformation removed to avoid future confusion. ;)

And, on the phone vibrating thing ... I did that and it still doesn't go into recovery via that method, I will try again, just thought it was odd since it worked before for certain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What makes you think it will not work? EZ Unlock v1.2 works if you're rooted. I just sideloaded it from Rootzwiki, used it, and I'm temporarily on an alpha build of AOKP JB 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chimpsnest:
I have NO idea, lol, why I thought that - after reading dozens and dozens of pages last night - and then re-reading the EZ Unlock thread over at Rootz I can't find where I read that (coulda been the wine too). I'll edit my above post so that nobody else thinks that's the case too.

Anyway, thank you for your help, I have TWRP now and I'll start researching some ROMs today, I was a big fan of Liquid's work on my last phone (TBolt).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha well great, glad you're all set up! Just remember to backup your IMEI before you flash any roms and I believe that's all I have for suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] philseven:
+1

please back up IMEI it will save you a lot of pain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chimpsnest:
Thank you for all that, I will definitely be backing that up before flashing anything.:good:

Edit: used the method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255 via terminal, and also backed it up with the Synergyrom .zip. Once I get that copied and safely stored elsewhere I will be happily flashing :)

I'm hoping that GooManager will show me only ROMs that are compatible with my phone , however I love to read the forums and check out reviews, screenshots, etc., etc.

I am on 2.6.1.0 twrp and all my backups are around 6gig. They used to be around 1.5. I am running on 4.3 roms now. anyone else have issues with their backups so large?

Guess I should always check if compression is turned on.... All fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kgirlx:
Thanks for the goo manager and steps to install this, installed on wife's phone and just backed it up. One question I have is I have CWM installed, could I do these steps and install TWRP over CWM and there be no problems? Thanks for any replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quacker:
Yes. You can overwrite or replace recoveries without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Just be advised twrp back ups do not work with clock work mod and vice versa

anyone updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 and running CarbonRom? Any problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisdroidx2:
I currently have a S4 and TWRP on my device. I know from the S4 the 2.6x twrp recovery are giving users issues on the S4 and are recommended to stick with 2.5.0.2.

Now my wife has the S3. I flashed Andy's Bone stock rom on it last night and it flashed fine. However I did notice that it is a really old version of twrp 2.3.3.0 I believe. Since I never use her device or ever had a S3 is the 2.6.x version of twrp stable for the S3? Her recovery is working just fine so far but I wondering if I was to update it which version is the most stable. Or is the S3 version of the recovery fine and it's only the S4 that has the problems?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
I've been using 2.6.1.0 for a few weeks now successfully. I haven't updated to the latest version yet. The changelog isn't compelling to me.

I'm on S3 and running Andybones for a long time now. They have all been stable for me. Running 2.6.3 now.

The only problems I ever had with TWRP started when 4.3 roms came out. Not sure if the latest fixes the problem with 4.3.

A lot of the changelog for the latest version refers to 4.3. Don't know if it will solve your specific issues, though.

Dude you wouldnt happen to have a link for 2.6.1.0 would you? It's no longer available on Techerrata.com, which is where Goo.im hosts its previous versions, and I can't find it anywhere else. The current 2.6.3.0 is giving me the finger :mad:

No partition SD card option..???

-Galaxy S III SCH-R530U

-LiquidSmooth JB 2.9 ROM

-Cyanogenmod 3.4.53 Kernal

-4.2.2

-TWRP 2.6.3

*******possible noob question*****

I need to be able to move my apps to my SD card and use mods through the build.promp file.

I cant do either of this because my sd card is not partitioned, but in TWRP theres no option under "advanced" to partition my SD card..

I rooted and installed unsecure boot image and all that stuff through ADB shell very cleanly, after I had left AOKP and went back to complete stock, right out of the box.

Any ideas??

As mentioned in the above post, it's for Samsung Galaxy S 3 GT-I9300 * International *.

I made it for myself, as I could not find one for S3, for other devices flashable ZIPs are avialble through out the fourm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
Why are you posting this in the Verizon S3 section if it's a flashable zip for the i9300/i9500 devices? They have completely different hardware with different partition layouts and people could brick their phones by flashing this zip. Please post your zip in the appropriate i9300/9500 TWRP threads.

Don't flash the above zip if you have a Verizon Galaxy S3

Is it possible to have a corrupted "data" partition? I've noticed with CWM, my data would never wipe properly when I was flashing roms. It would just quickly flash and say complete, but I know it wasn't doing it. Thought it was CWM, so I installed TWRP, and now when I wipe my data partition, it reboots to a black screen. Need to pull the battery to get back into recovery. Any advice?

There is a button for internal and extcard inside the restore option. It switches between the two . Also its there for backup option so u can store it either place. Maybe that will help u.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nope.

Try it one more time. If still no, see about Odin flashing an older TWRP tar. Uncheck "auto reboot," flash the tar, pull battery, then boot into TWRP. Get the download from here as provided by Invisiblek:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
If there is an XDA forum for your phone, I would recommend posting this question in the q&a topic for it. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 users are not the best place to ask.

That being said, you could download GooManager from the Play Store and look for:

Settings menu --> Install OpenRecoveryScript

This should install TWRP if there is a version for your phone. Be careful that you haven't changed your build.prop device for installing Google Wallet, though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JRJ442:
That almost sounds like the data partition may be corrupt. You'd probably have to wipe the internal SD to fix it. I've heard of some 4.3 ROMs doing that. It also appears judging by the signature, you use a Nexus 4, this is the Galaxy S3 thread. Try to find the correct forum, maybe someone could have some better advice.

Those backups may be corrupt as well. You may have to delete them and make new ones. Not 100% sure really. :) you're welcome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
I can't seem to make a backup. TWRP just says that it failed to create the backup folder and gives the path to the current backup folder location. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Any reasons as to why twrp says "cannot mount data"? I haven't done anything besides flash a 4.3 rom. It happened while I was using snap chat and then the phone rebooted and didn't go past the splash screen. And while I tried restoring a backup that's when it failed and the message came out. So the only solution I found was to format my internal storage. And them I was able to restore my backup completely.

And then I tried again with the same rom and once again it was snapchat that made my phone reboot but only this time, when I went into recovery and it asked me for a password to decrypt data. I haven't encrypted anything so I wasn't able to put a password since I never put such a thing.

And once again the solution was to format internal storage.

Any ideas as to why it happened and how to avoid it, besides the obvious DONT USE SNAPCHAT ANYMORE!! Lol

Or is this just a 4.3 issue Like i read a couple posts back, and can't be avoided as of right now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
as i don't use snapchat, i can't say if it is related to that program, however, 2x it errors our, i would think there is an issue there.

however, i have used TWRP since i got my S3, and have never had any problem. i routinely flash back and forth between TW and AOSP 4.3, and had one issue where i had a bad backup, but that once and hasn't happened since. I'm on Mastamoon's unofficial CM10.2 and routinely flash nightlys with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Yeah same here, I've always used TWRP and this has never happened to me before except now but I mean its probably just a 4.3 issue that soon will be resolved.
