Could give it in a tar.md5 format so that I can flash it via odin? Or is there any other way to flash this.

[MENTION=6284619]simplyme2908[/MENTION]: you can install 2.8.4.0-2.8.6.1 with Odin. These versions offer a zip-install of 2.8.7.0.

Flashify, mentioned above, can too, but contains imho opportunity to brick the phone.

hi can you add f2fs to twrp2 please,and thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
I think It's already there in twrp 2.8.7.0 version. Read the full changelog below.....:good:

Note: My repacked version of twrp_2.8.7.0_I9300 is almost identical to the official 2.8.7.0 version

The only difference between the Repacked and official version is fonts & splash screen image

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

CHANGELOG for 2.8.7.0:

-Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)

-Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)

-Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)

-Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)

-Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)

-Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)

-Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)

-Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)

-Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)

-Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)

Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.

System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.

resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.

Hi Guys, I am having a problem installing the recovery. Phone is Galaxy S3 I9300 International , android 4.3 stock.

I attempt to flash it via odin and everything seems ok, I see the green PASS , phone reboots to OS without trouble and when I turn off and try to go to recovery the phone goes to the stock recovery. I tried installing CWM and TWRP , but I always get to stock recovery in the end.

I hope you're right, and I'm sure you are, but that's not actually exactly what he said.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Yes you are right it's not included in the twrp_2.8.7.0 and you can't even add it in this version.

because with twrp_2.8.7.0 installed there is no more space left on recovery partition to add "mkfs.f2fs" file

But if you still wants F2FS first of all make sure that your ROM is supported the F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System)

(because your boot.img should have an fstab that permit to mount f2fs filesystem.)

if yes then you have to downgrade the smaller size twrp like 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 version

and follow "This TUTORIAL" to Migrate the filesystem to F2FS
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
get my last commit ...i made these because much devices have storage problems with latest twrp .... this saves some space ... maybe then you can re-implement f2fs .... the changes are not noticeable by users ... just the images (PICTURES) use a bettercompression method

Hello [MENTION=5553598]Naveed Abbas[/MENTION] ,

I have never used themes in TWRP and I have read we have to be very careful with using themes on TWRP.

So would you help in pointing to thems which work with your re-packed TWRP for I9300 without any issues?

Thanks in advance.

I've been running cwm recovery since the day I rooted my s3, but yesterday I switched to twrp. I had 2 nandroid backups in cwm and now I can't locate them but they fill up my SD space. What shall I do? I've checked my old cwm folder but nothing
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] odyss199:
i had a similar issue, i think when u flash TWRP recovery it relocates all your internal data to a folder "0" in other words it recreates the internal storage and adds a folder called "0" in which places all your old data try checking that out :D :D

P.S. If u try to restore a backup made from cwm using twrp you wont even find it u have to switch back to your original recovery used for creating the backup

Hi all,

I am on 4.4.4 and used TWRP in past, now I am on Philz Touch latest recovery. I tried to flash twrp latest version but it stuck on it's flash screen. I tried to flash old version using Odin as well as new one but it keeps hanging on the it's flash screen. Flashing Philz via odin works every time but not TWRP. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Edit:

I am not able to format /preload partition through Philz too which I found was suggested by some to fix my issue.

I am able to take a backup of my phone and restore it without any problem including my internal sd card using Philz Touch
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
use flashify or rashr instead
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
Problem is not about flashing as flashing goes fine through odin but the issue occurs when I try to go into recovery, it gets stuck at it's flash screen.

Let me try that. Thanks.

Edit:

Ok, that worked and I am able to go into TWRP however I am still not able to flash anything as my phone goes to recovery after I boot it so I guess something is corrupted related to my memory but as that's not related to TWRP I won't write anymore here. However if anyone has anything to say about this issue, let me know please cause currently I am only able to use my phone with current setup I have on my phone and flashing anything else simply doesn't work with any recovery.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
I think you need a "Megawipe" once, But backup your int-storage first.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
If by mega wipe you meant wiping all partitions like data/system/cache/preload/Dalvik etc then I did cleared them all manually but that didin't help. I ever flashed the Stock rom with original pit file and it booted fine. I then flashed philz recovery and try to flash any other rom, it didn't work and phone went to recovery again. :(

PS - I know there is a megawipe script somewhere in xda but going inside shows that the script does format all partitions so rather than doing manually it does it through a script.

Sorry for OT.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Do you formated all partitions with TWRP ......?

and what "file system" you are using for data/system partitions.......... EXT4 or ...?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
Yes, I did. /preload wasn't there to format, other than that I formatted all with TWRP. All partitions are default EXT4.

As far as i understand your post, you are failed to sideload with twrp_2.8.x.x,

in that case you can use "adb push command" in recovery mode instead of sideload.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wadken1:
I get problems with this version and also with 2.8.6.1 which prevents me from using them. If you can offer any advice I'd be very grateful because I'm stuck using version 2.8.5.0 which is now failing to install some roms.

The problems seem to be with the graphics:

1. The slider bar used to activate any selected function is positioned off-screen to the left so that I can't selected it in order to drag it across to the right.

2. When trying to select any file , either zip for flashing or backup to restore etc, only the files in the currently selected folder are visible - there's no way to navigate back up to higher levels so it's impossible to navigate around the files system.

many thanks if you can help.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
You meant that last two twrp versions (2.8.6.1 & 2.8.7.0) are causing GUI problems on your i9300 ,

Like slider is not on the original place as on twrp 2.8.5.0.

Right .....?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wadken1:
Yes that's right.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
First of all flash the cwm recovery (But not TWRP) via Odin.

then reboot the phone normally and delete the "TWRP" folder from internal & external storage

Now download the "twrp_2.8.7.0_i9300" and match the "MD5 Sum" of your downloaded file.

and install back the twrp_2.8.7.0_i9300.

Done.....:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wadken1:
Fabulous!! That worked....eventually.

The first time it failed but then later I found that the TWRP folder on the internal memory had not been deleted - any method I chose to get rid of it just gave and error and left the folder untouched. So I just renamed the folder -after that the 2.8.7.0 version installed correctly.

Many Thanks

I installed TWRP manager and started installing but it said I already have a recovery and failed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
You have two options. Obtain twrp for your device in .IMG or .zip, fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG "twrp.IMG" via windows or simply flash twrp .zip in cwm. Done.

Good luck
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Iolaum:
Thank you. I wan't sure I understand what you said because i don't know the argo around here (yet at least). What I did was the following (for future reference in case any1 else needs it).

I downloaded TWRP laster version for my device (i9300) from their site. (.tar file)

I switched off my phone and rebooted it in download mode. (Power+Home+Vol_Down)

Connected it to my windows 7 PC via USB

Started Odin 3.09

Used AP option (it is the new name for the new PDA option on older versions from what I saw) with only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Timer enabled.

Hit start and all worked good.

Now is that what you meant by fastboot flash? If not how is the method i used called? (flash via Odin?)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Fastboot is when u put the phone in "Fastboot" mode then on your windows pc you'll have adb sdk toolkit or adb for dummies. Install Android Adb composite interface and do a shift + right-click open command prompt in the folder adb and fastboot.exe are in... CMD Prompt open on ur PC. Download the .img version for your phone of TWRP it's like twrp-xxxxx-whatever.img, I rename it to recovery.img and copy paste it in the same folder as abd/ fastboot. Then in CMD type adb devices make sure the phone shows up. Then just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img enter... done and done... Or Even easier just download twrp for your device in .zip format and copy to sdcard and flash like u would a rom in CWM.. restart TWRP is installed good to go..

.TAR is a android/ Linux file and really only linux and android knows what to do with it or odin i guess. ODIN is for like going back to stock so the above methods are proper for what your wanting to succeed at.

Good luck hope it helped.

If you search for the TWRP 2.8.6.1 or 2.8.7.0 zip on XDA, they are on the same forum. You can just flash it in recovery, using your current recovery.

I should have written that the version I flashed via Odin is the 2.8.6.1. It's the latest TWRP for the S3 int i9300 according to their official download page (rechecked that as I wrote this post). And I ve installed TWRP manager from Playstore so that should handle any future updates.

On a side note I see that ADB is a popular method to suggest solutions but to a noob like me Odin looked easier, which is why I went that way.
