[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ilnessuno4691:
I dont know but now the size is reduced, under the 8 mb and you can flash it, great!

anyway i've seen that the wrong version for s3 has been removed :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
CHANGELOG for 2.8.6.1:

-reduced the size to solves the flashing issue.

-reduced the resolution from 1080x1920 (2.8.6.0) to 480x800 (2.8.6.1)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] viktor92:
Great, but the images aren't too small for the S3 ?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Scorpionea:
flashed 2.8.6.1 and everything works as it should (finally),many thx for zip file and all who managed to fix this liitle annoying issue

cheers all :victory::victory:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
it works other way like zoom in and zoom out.

on 720p screen when you have higher resolution like 1080p icon and font shows smaller

and when you have lower resolution like 480p icon and font shows bigger.

you can see the difference between 1080p, 720p and 480p in below pictures

1-twrp_2.8.6.0 (1080x1920)

2-twrp_2.8.5.0 (720x1280)

3-twrp_2.8.6.1 (480x800)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
What's your point. Just restore your backup to see if it's functional and stop bothering about speed of baking up process. It's known for long that twrp is faster than cwm, especially blob method which is very very long and cause many issues.

Be pleased with twrp.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
My point is that I was looking to compare my backup time with yours to see if mine was correct. It's my first time using TWRP so it seemed to good to be true.

Maybe a silly question, but I am assuming cwm backups will not restore using TWRP? I noticed my twrp back up is 2Gb in size whereas a cwm back up is only half that.

**edit** wow... Just done a full back up and restore and it works perfectly. I was a bit sceptical because of its speed but hats off to the devs. ;):thumbup:

By default compression is disabled in twrp... Explains probably speed and size of backup.

Is it possible to change the default backup location to the ExtSd in GooManager?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
No you set the backup path in twrp, goo manager will use this setting.

I've read this and I understand why the internal SD is not mountable as Mass Storage.

But that's not the one I'd wont mounted to a PC anyway. I'd like to use the phone as a card reader sometimes - to mount the external SD.

So are you even considering making the external SD mountable? :)

TWRP 2.3.1.0 BackUp Failed

I have been doing a ton of research on this and I see a some people having the same issue.

But no one seems to have a solution but to reload an older version or move back to cmw

Hi to every one.

I will shortly have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i 9300 and I'd like to root it and install preferred recovery console.

I am coming from Galaxy S i 9000 and always used CWM, but some guys here just told me to install this recovery because they say it's quite better.

As I'd like to understand this better, I'm asking you guys what are the main differences between the two recovery consoles (except of course the touch feeling) and if in TWRP I can find all the features in CWM.

Then I'd like to know if to install this I only need to root my device with Chainfire's CF-Root and then go to Play store and download the Goo app and follow instructions as in first page.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] enigma1981:
TWRP is MUCH easier to navigate around and has all the features that CWM has, it's faster and more responsive

And yes, root with CF-root (or however you choose to root...) then follow the instructions in the OP

:)

Welcome to the future of recovery ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
Agree trwp is easier to use/navigate.

But the othertw cwm also does the job well.its a matter of preference

just tab on (Auto Generate) and manually enter your name

Error during backup with latest version

Hi,

I've got an issue with 2.8.6.1 which cannot create full backups. I still can work with 2.8.5.0 (always encrypted backups, both compressed and uncompressed). I switched back and forth between these two versions, always flashing the img file via TWRP itself. 2.8.5.0 still can backup, whereas 2.8.6.1 fails when I choose all partitions (efs, boot, system, data). It works when I skip data and only backup efs, boot and system. Same error occurs during backup on internal storage or SD.

Error from log is:

I:InfoManager saving '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/4df75cc52a5330f1/2015-04-15--01-49-00_cm_i9300-userdebug_5.1_LMY47I_84819a3f34_te/data.info'

I:createTarFork() process ended with signal: 11

Backup Failed.

This happens at the end when it's almost done. Not a big issue since 2.8.5.0 works perfectly for me, but sooner or later I might have to (and I want to) upgrage to the newer version.

Anyone an idea? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:

Just tried flashing the latest twrp update using rashr and found myself stuck with a screen saying (Downloading Do not turn off target).

Suggestions ?

Sounds like you are in download mode rather than recovery mode. Have you tried flashing the zip file direct from recovery?

I downloaded the .img file and flashed it via Rashr. I'm not sure what went wrong. But now phone is stuck in download mode. I don't know if anyone else has had the same problem, but I did some research and hardly came up with anything. Suggestions are highly valued.

My twrp recovery works fine itself ,also reboot and so on...but when from inside Lollipop i try to do a factory reset ....when the phone reboot instead rebooting Lollipop it stuck in recovery blu screen and no way to exit.

Seem like Lollipop factory reset damage twrp recovery
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
[MENTION=290720]videobelu[/MENTION]: this may be a simple conflict between the command-shells of ROM, kernel and recovery. Try another ROM (only to find out, which of the 3 parts fails).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Since lollipop 5.x.x twrp have this problem ,

if you do the factory reset via Rom (Settings/Backup & Reset)

It's don't boot up to perform the factory reset.(just stuck on booting screen)

We're facing this problem with CM based Roms on our device(GS3-i9300)

But don't know about stock lollipop or others devices.

I am told [MENTION=290720]videobelu[/MENTION] to wait for fix in next version of twrp.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Scorpionea:
If u are already using custom recovery then just download and flash the zip in your recovery and done.

Post before yours is the link for latest twrp version in flashable form
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SirKunon:
Uncheck autoreboot option in Odin and after successful flash of custom recovery reboot your phone directly from still active download mode to recovery by pressing vol up, home and power buttons until i9300 logo will be displayed.

That way stock recovery will not overwrite itself.

So you're stuck on the twrp splash screen even if you try to let the phone boot normally?

In this case, I'd try to flash the last working version of twrp via fastboot. Or use a toolkit if you don't know fastboot.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Just flash the stock or cwm recovery (But not TWRP) via Odin.

then you can reboot the phone normally, Now delete the theme from TWRP folder

and then install back the twrp recovery.

Ps: next time don't apply the 720p theme on 480p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Anderson2:
I hope this is the correct place to ask.

My device is a rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 with xposed installed. It also has twrp 2.7.x.x installed and I want to update twrp to the latest version 2.8.6.0 before I upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 .

So I downloaded the 2.8.6.0 img for hammerhead but can't install it. When I boot into twrp recovery and click on install it looks for a zip file. But what I downloaded is an .img file.

Should it be a zip file? Where do I download that from?

I also installed TWRP manager but when I click on select recovery to install, TWRP manager crashes.

What should I do? Is xposed framework interfering?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
No it's not the correct place to ask,

But anyway you can use Fastboot Install Method

On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:

adb reboot bootloader

You should now be in fastboot mode. Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

and you are done.

Note: But you will need adb & fastboot binaries and proper ADB drivers installed on your computer first

or you can try "flashify" instead of TWRP manager
