Can confirm, 3.2.1 doesn't boot while 3.1.1 works alright. From the TWRP landing page we no longer seem to have a maintainer though, so I guess the problem will stay around for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] black.kahder:
I tried TWRP 3.2.3-0 today and it does NOT work.

In case you end up with phone stuck trying to boot into recovery, boot with Volume down button held then select NO to boot into normal main ROM.

Last known working TWRP is 3.1.0-0. However, it has a bug where Open GApps won't install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] x2bc4:
I just installed twrp-3.2.3.0-jfltexx, for i9505 in a M919 without trouble. Also installed Optimized-LineageOS-16.0-Version6.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] droydr:
Thanks so much for this post. I've been wanting to try Pie and am currently on Nougat. The first note in the Optimized LOS 16.0 thread is that twrp 3.2.3.0 is needed, so I tried flashing the twrp-3.2.3.0-jfltetmo img file on my M919 a bunch of times but it would never boot into Recovery. It just got stuck on the Samsung splash screen every time I tried booting into recovery. Didn't matter if I tried flashing the twrp img file from the official TWRP app in the Play Store or directly from Odin, it just refused to boot into Recovery. So frustrating.

How did you know to try flashing the twrp 3.2.3.0 jfltexx version instead for your M919? It just worked right now on my M919 as well on the first try, but I wouldn't have ever known to try the i9505 file version instead.

Have you had any problems with twrp since? And did you flash the jfltexx version of LOS 16 with it too? Or did you flash the jfltetmo version of LOS 16? And have you had any issues with LOS 16 since?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] x2bc4:
Hi. I'm glad to help. I happen to have both phones, i9505 as my daily driver and M919 for testing new ROMs before switching to them. I guess I took the chance after having that same frustration you had. Besides, they have similar hardware and I've been forced in the past to install recoveries from different models too. So far everything has been running great. No problems at all. I have already installed all the S4 unified Pie ROMs out there, and some Oreo ROMs too. I've been also flashing back and forth between the 2 recovery images within twrp depending on the ROM I'm about to install, in case they are specific for jfltexx or jfltetmo. I also find so strange it's been so long since the latest twrp recovery for M919 hasn't been fixed.

Yes I restored fine. I backed up with all the check boxes checked, I flashed wicked rom, wifi was borked, restored back no problem. Im pretty sure I used compression and i dont think I generated md5's. Make sure you have enough storage, whether it b internal or external sd.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JimmyTheShovel:
Temporary workaround if you're just wanting to flash a file:

Create a folder on your SD card and name it aaa or something like that, a name that will have it at or near the top of the list alphabetically. Move the file into that folder, that way you should be able to navigate to where the file is and select it without ever having to actually scroll.

Sensitivity issues have been addressed but like others have said, the time is off. EST time is off by 2 hrs. I believe if the rom is booted from recovery, then the rom automatically forces an update to time/date. It's not a big deal.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: TWRP

I just wonder what new features it has if any or is it just a bug fix of somekind?

I really miss those 2 checkboxes underneath the file listing which used to make it

so easy to change between internal and external sdcards......

The last version of TWRP which had that option was 2.4.4.0 if I recall correctly.

I really wonder why the developers took that feature away from us since it never caused any issues or problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MacTheRipperr:
They will probably incorporate it in later releases. Things are still in the beginning phases for our phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: previous version

I guess I did not explain myself correctly, I am using the TWRP version 2.4.4.0 right now and it works just fine

with my Galaxy S4 rom and any other roms I have flashed with the Galaxy S3 and other phones I have.

The TWRP 2.4.4.0 is the the version with which has the two check boxes that allow us to change from internal

to external sdcards with one easy click.

So this feature is nothing new for TWRP I was just wondering why the TWRP developers removed a perfectly

good working feature and option which it used to have before.

How do u find and install twrp through goomanager?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BurnOmatic:
is there some place to download theme's for this recovery, like a default place where we can find themes, specifically for twrp ? i have found some other ones but they were not for our phones specifically. thanks guys
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: TWRP

Just open goomanager and click on the menu key, there you will see "installOpenRecoveryScript"

as an option. Select that and let it get done flashing.

After it's done flashing you will magically have TWRP as soon as you reboot the phone.

Goomanager has an option in it which boots you right into TWRP recovery.

Good luck!

Perhaps if you would provide s lot more detailed information we can help you resolve whatever

issues you may be experiencing when trying to flash a rom using TWRP recovery..

Good Luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
on the current version, you just click on the install -> at the top it says whichever version touch to change -> select from the 3 options! I believe that the reason it is gone is due to there being 3 options instead of 2.

I would like a file explorer built in though. Similar to Root Explorer, or Solid Explorer. Where we can delete, rename, move, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: twrp

It does have a file explorer which has all the options you just mentioned, it had that for a long time now.

That's one of many nice features in TWRP but I still cannot understand why they removed those 2

checkboxes for internal and external sd cards.

I am not talking about which version of twrp to install, I am talking about when you are in twrp recovery and you want to flash a new rom and it's on

your external sd card, you cannot simply click a little box and change it to the external sdcard, you have to first click on "go back" and when it does

go back it does not go directly into your external sdcard it displays folders, and you have to click again when you find the externalSD.

I just don't know of a better way to explain it.

Not hard to change. Get GooManager from the play store. Open it, tap your menu button, select 'Install OpenRecoveryScript'. Give it a few mintues to download and install. I changed from CWM to TWRP a year ago and haven't missed CWM at all. I love TWRP.

Manual installation: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltetmo You can d/l 2.5.0.0, *.1, and *.2 from this link.

Using GooManager and TWRP 2.0.0.0 -- when I go to the "Install OpenRecoveryScript" to get it, the app tells me there is nothing out there. I'm trying the actual download now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Once you select install OpenRecoveryScript, goomanager will download and install TWRP automatically. When you reboot to recovery you should go into TWRP instead of CWM.

Hmm, that's weird. I felt inclined to answer because I had literally just now updated from 2.5.0.0 to 2.5.0.2 by doing that.

I assume you know how to manually install, but if not (or for other's reference), type this into a terminal emulater from your phone or adb shell from your computer:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Obviously "recoveryfilename.img" isn't the literal string "recoveryfilename.img", but rather whatever the download file is named.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] toucan:
Okay - Thanks for the reply!!

That's weird. Are you on a custom rom? Might try wiping everything and reinstalling or try a factory reset. Do you have a nandroid already you can restore after wiping? Maybe try wiping cache and dalvik and reboot. Just some things I might try off the top of my head. Have you tried the nandroid anyway to see what it does?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
I have a weird error too. I cannot set custom names in TWRP for my backups. When I do, nothing happens. Still backups as the current date. Speaking of date, can we get an option to change the date in settings or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Persianhawkes:
When I tried the nandroid it said I didnt have enough memory on sd card. I ended up flashing a new rom and that fixed my issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] traicer:
its probably trying to add your sd card as part of the backup image. try removing the sd card before going into twrp.

Thanks. Tried twice using Goo Manager and each time I downloaded the img file it would say success installed recovery but would still show the 2.5.0.1 version.

I'm having the same issues i have seen reported earlier regarding 64Gb SD card issues and mounting in recovery. My Sandisk CLass 10 card works perfectly....except for being recognized in recovery.

The card came preformated I believe as exFAT....but when I booted up with the card, I got this SD card files damaged message and do I want to format the card. I said yes and it was downhill just getting this card to finally work. It IS currently formatted Fat32. I can read and write files to it on my iMac Desktop as well as a Windows 7 machine. Just TWRP doesn't see it :(

So...is there definitive support stating that ExFat is the only way to go currently if you want recovery support for the card?

TIA to all on this.

Perhaps it will recognize your 64gb microsd, you can flash this in either cwm or twrp recovery.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Docmjldds:
No go. The card is seen no problem when using the phone. It's ONLY in recovery that the card is NOT seen. Going to play around with alternate methods to see if that makes a diference. IOW format with a mini partition tool I used to use way back with my Nexus One and try EXT4 for example.

EDIT: Used Mini Partition tool and converted the 64Gb card to EXT4 and TWRP sees the card. Currently running a Nandroid backup. Next step is to boot up and hopefully have the card seen when up and running.

EDIT2: Booted up and card wasn't seen using EXT4. Just for curiosity, I did try formatting and splitting the card into two Fat32 partitions. The first Partition just under 4

32Gb was seen in recovery as well as when booted up, but no access to the whole card storage. Went back to my Win7 machine (I also use Imac) and reformatted the card to ExFAT. TWRP sees the whole 64Gb and currently runing a Nandroid. Crossing fingers I don't get unrecognized format on SD card when booted up.

FINAL EDIT: It's a kludge, but I split the card into two partitions. ExFat first and Fat32 second. Bottom line...I can now Nandroid to the exFat Partition which is approx 30Gb and when I boot up, the SD card is seen as a Fat 32 and the balance of approx 30Gb is seen to store typical SD card stuff including all my music, pix files etc etc. IOW I cannot see my nandroid stuff when booted up, but when I boot to recovery I have full access to my nandroid backup and restore stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
