You can find img and tar file just here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9300

If you want to flash img files go to Install menu, select the folder, at the bottom right of twrp gui you'll find "images" tap on it, select your img file and in n3xt screen select the partition where to flash (boot or recovery)

loss of root

Hi not sure who the maintainer is for the i9300, but I was wondering if I could get some help with a problem that has cropped up since 2.8.1 with SlimLp I am building. Any version of TWRP above 2.8.1 seems to remove root access. Anyone any ideas why this would be the case?

installing twrp over cwm

hi there, I got cwm 6.0.4.6 (non touch) installed on my gt-i9300, with v8 rom sensation.

My question is, can I install twrp touch over it?

(they won't affect each other? )

update: :D

could'nt wait lol.

installed philz touch 6.48.

works perfect.

P.s.

I had an annoying message on the non touch cwm:

'"root access possibly lost. fix root.... yes/no"

philz touch fixed that. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SirKunon:
One recovery.img overwrites another. 'There can be only one' :) you can flash all of them to find this one suitable for you. There is only one recovery partition and while flashing it wipes all old data. I prefer TWRP, you can use Pilz, it's only a tool, but I must admit - very important and powerful tool.

Hi folks,

I was using CWM recovery and now gonna try TWRP. I could not find Goomanager app in the playstore. I read somewhere that it is not maintained now.

Fix for what?

I have the TWRP 2.8.5.0 and can't flash the img of the vers 2.8.6.0 because the recovery says failed and the log shows that the size (of the .img) is too high than /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 why?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
because new recovery.img size is bigger then partition size on s3

and i have repack the new recovery.img to reduce the size.

There is 2.8.6.0 and the site stating as a new home of TWRP.

But all 2.8.6.0 versions seems to be fake: the size of i9300 version exceeds partition size, the lt03ltexx version simply doesn't install thru previous version of TWRP.

Guys it is very simple. Get the slimmed down "recovery.img" file provided earlier by Naveed Abbas. Get the free app Rashr from the store. Choose "Recovery from Storage" and browse to the img file on the external card. Flash the file from within the rom you are currently running. Done. Simple as a pie. It takes exactly 30 seconds to be up to date. Latest version works great.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Actual Problem in Twrp 2.8.6.0

Actually in twrp2.8.6.0 version all the 720p devices have 1080p resolution.

And because of 1080p resolution all the icons have bigger sizes. Previously in 2.8.5.0 we have the actual size of S3 (720p).

Therefore the size of twrp-2.8.6.0 img file is bigger than 2.8.5.0 and recovery partition.

So in my repacked version of 2.8.6.0. I have only replaced the background & unlock (1080p) images with (720p ) from 2.8.5.0 in ramdisk.

So it is very simple now we have 7.91 MB size instead of 8.0 MB.

and it flashes successfully...........:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] craP_cillA:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Guy's Let me tell you one thing,

evean if your recovery is not flashed successfully it's only mess up your recovery partition not EFS partition and you gets boot loop

and you only lose IMEI when you mess up your EFS partition,

So @sanguinesaintly, you lost your IMEI after flashing The Rom or Modem. not recovery
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Thanks Naveed - I did get a bootloop first so that explains it - all good now.

hello

after I flash twrp 2.8.6.0 with odin, modem showed me a finger, no calls no mobile data

next I flash stock rom I9300XXUGNG3_I9300XEOGNG1_XEO, got boot loop, made wipe from recovery and voila :) it works now

so for now I stick to version 2.8.5.0, it works perfectly

I did this on OmniRom and on stock Samsung rom, same effect, no calls no mobile data
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] svetloslav:
Of course it fashes successfully and everything works like magic on CM12. The fact that one guy can not follow simple instructions and than complains allover the place, does not mean that the update is bogus, it simply means this guy has to read a little bit more and be more careful. That's all. Let's not fall into panic based of false empirical conclusions. And thank Naveed Abbas for providing the resolution fix for our device.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Not sure that helps. I originally got the bootloop after flashing 2.8.6.0 via Odin - I did not flash the ROM or modem. I reflashed 2.8.5.0 but the IMEI had already gone. I fixed that. Naveed's explanation was very useful and should be helpful for the other posters who had exactly the same problem, although it does not explain why flashing only the original tar should have done anything bad. I'm not convinced that it was user error in every case. Thanks to Naveed for his zip file though.

Here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9300 Don't know what damage it's done yet as I just flashed it and I have boot loop and can't get into recovery, So going to put the 2.8.5.0 back on (if it lets me)

EDIT: No problem back to 2.8.5.0 and so far all good.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
As you all knows that latest twrp-2.8.6.0 official .tar & .img files doesn't flashs successfully

due to the bigger size than recovery partition.

and like you two few other peoples also got bootloop and soft bricked there phones after flashing the

recovery.tar files from official website.

But some other peoples thought that damage is done by flashing mine "Repacked Recovey.tar" file.

Therefore i have removed mine Recovey.tar odin file from my Post#891 to avoid confusion.

Ps: if there somebody who still needs the Repacked "twrp-2.8.6.0-i9300.tar" odin file, I can provide him......

[MENTION=Naveed Abbas][/MENTION]: I used your img-file without problems, thank you.

What I don't understand: 2.8.6.0-img and -tar on the dev-site are 5kB-files. If someone flash this, how can such a mini-file exceed the partition-size?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
No both files have 8MB size on official website.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
Yes, I saw&see. But if I try to download, I get only the 2 mini-files. Perhaps an error of my ROM/Browser-combination, but in this case it avoided harm ;)

I suggest notifying in the OP that 2.8.6.0 softbricks the phone, it's really annoying if you don't have a PC in the nearby :mad:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RoelD92:
True. i tried to flash the img using twrp 2.8.5.0. Everything went OK, but when i tried to reboot system, it went to download mode. System wouldn't boot at all and went straight to download mode.

It isn't exactly a soft brick, but indeed you can't use the phone.

I solved mine by flashing the 2.8.5.0 tar with Odin BTW. after that, system reboots normally. No loss of data or anything else.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ioglnx:
It says to big for recovery partition.

Looks like its to big for flashing.

I wonder in TWRP Manager it still shows 2.8.5.0.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cKenny:
I only come and read the post after install TWRP twice -- both brick my phone by corrupted EFS folder making baseband unknown. *sign*

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] motshek:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fcaronte:
I go in bootloop trying to update using .img file (got error from img flash directly from recovery) and try to make the recovery zip installation (as I always make myself) but this time not work and go to bootloop without any working recovery..... Now for all people with this problem go in odin mode and from twrp site download the .tar file and flash using odin now is working with new recovery version.... (in my case after boot I lost the modem so I must go in recovery and flash a modem zip to fix the problem)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Not such a fairy tale now eh ? ;) At least we seem to have gotten to the bottom of it. And the advice seems to be not to install the original tar just yet. Maybe that'll be fixed, but kudos to Naveed for providing the zip. That seems to be the only way to go at the moment.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Naveed has already said that EFS problems are due to flashing a rom or modem and nothing to do with the recovery flash. So what is causing the efs/imei problem that people are having ? I suspect that most of us know whether we have or have not flashed the correct thing. Confused.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] waqaswasil:
maybe some of the modem block is overwritten by the recovery image due to its exceeding size.... :confused: :confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
That's plausible. I just wish that someone would admit that there's a genuine problem here rather than just putting it down to user error. At least we have a solution (for now). Let's hope that the TWRP team find a real solution.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] r4Rok:
I had used TWRP 2.8.6.0 and started getting "No sim ID, and IMEI" error. Flashing back 2.8.5.0 solved the problem at least with me.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
No, that's not the case. If it was everyone who got bootloop had that issue and I didn't. It must be something else. (or may be for people who modified their partitions.

Sometime ago when I had a Galaxy Gio, we had a CWM recovery build that was working perfectly on phones manufactured in China but was softbricking the phones manufactured in Vietnam. Maybe we have a similar situation here.... :confused:

i've put it up on their github issue tracker. It's more likely to be noticed there.

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/363

The most important thing i think now is that 2.8.6.0 should not be officially distributed till the problem is found.
