Go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2260031 and flash their tar via Odin for a working CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
It would help if I could read I guess.

If you still want TWRP, you can Odin this 2.5.0.2 tar file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
^^ What he said.. recovery is a no-go. I was expecting Odin to be the next step but was hoping otherwise. No big deal though as I have everything I need and coming from the S2 where I was constantly wiping it like a 3rd grade blackboard it is no big deal. Thanks though for the comments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
what version are people using for non tw roms, every version i try aborts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Meowdib:
Your phone must be messed up. v2.5.0.2 works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You realize that tarn file is JUST the recovery, right? It won't wipe or replace any of your user data or your ROM.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
no it was a corrupted dl of twrp sir not my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
I realize that but on the off chance that Murphy's Law decides to manifest itself during one of my flash maneuvers I would rather avoid it entirely. I would rather play it on the safe side and go with something that is working and not be the victim of "That sucks, I have never heard that has ever happened to.."

I went with a different recovery and it does what it needs to so better safe than sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Easiest way is to install goo Manager app from Play store. Then press settings, install recovery. The app will download and install TWRP 2.6 for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eggnoodle:
Something strange happen - I've already install TWRP, made a backup and even flashed a custom ROM. Today, I noticed that Goomanager icon is missing from app drawer. Also, I went to the playstore and looked up Myapps and it's not even installed. I'm able to get into TWRP by doing a reboot since I have a custom ROM. Anyone having this issue??

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SirRastusBear:
I have experienced goo manager missing as well. However, please understand that having goo manager or not does NOT affect whether you keep TWRP or not. When you flash a recovery, it stays there until replaced with another(in almost every situation with a couple minor exceptions).

Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eggnoodle:
Do you think because I'm on a custom rom (DarthStalker) that the icon is missing? My buddy is on stock and just downloaded GooManager, he also doesn't have the GooManager icon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SirRastusBear:
Actually haven't figured out why as of yet. Of course, goo can only be installed if you are rooted. And if you're rooted, most likely you'll be running a custom rom, LOL.

I just install it again and carry on. It's only needed if your rom supports ota thru it, or if you want to flash newest version of TWRP. Otherwise, you're fine leaving it off until needed again. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I always use odin for recovery install - only takes about 2 minutes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SirRastusBear:
Another option! Or, if someone has a flashable zip of your recovery of choice it can be done thru existing recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
So basically when making a twrp backup which partitions should i select: i know boot, system and data but what about cache, recovery and efs.

Its just that it is usually selected but i installed this recovery now and only cache was selected. Anyone? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
You only check boot, system and data nothing else.

There is a new 2.6.1.0 update in goomanager for TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_r0dd:
same old thing. just hangs at teamwin logo...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jovy23:
I was just about to install it too lol i guess im staying on v2.5.0.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Thanks, I was about to install it when I read this. Sticking with 2.5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
WTF, everything past 2.5.0.2 has been crap. Whats up with that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Utorrent76:
Agreed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vicvon:
261 working fine for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I've been using 2.6.1.0 since yesterday morning and, although I never really had problems with previous versions except getting stuck at the splash screen here and there, this one hasn't even done that yet. For those people who don't want to use the newer versions of TWRP or those who just didn't want to use TWRP in general due to the bugs, I'd say that if you were ever going to try to upgrade/switch, this is the version to do it on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Easy there....

Yes the 2.6.x versions have been very problematic. That is true.

But they have also been 100% free despite countless hours of developer work.

So how about laying off on calling them crap? If you don't like it don't use it. Feel free to discuss the problems here like an adult. But don't insult it. Developers don't owe you a perfectly functional recovery. Its a gift they are giving you. Be nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
Ok, so let me rephrase that. Everything, to my experience, past 2.5.0.2, and I've tried them all with varying problems, have not been up to TWRP's usual high standards. I still only use TWRP, just 2.5.0.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That is a very good and polite way of saying the same thing. Only without sound offensive. Thank you!

And it's accurate without being harsh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
New update doesn't hang anymore so im happy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
It does not hang for me but it does take its time on the splash screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sweets55:
How do you get it? 2.6.1.0?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
From gooManager app in the play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sweets55:
OK I thought so but wasn't sure it was updated. Sorry. Been a bit since I used it and now I see that it shows before installing. Thanks.

Currently using twrp 2.5. Cuz I like it lag free. Is it worth updating to 2.6.10? And get the same results?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Version 2.6.1.0 is working perfectly fine, tested it with encryption as well and so far have had no problems whatsoever. Here is a link of a flashable .zip I made of the TMO version jfltetmo. Hit "Thanks" if you download it.

EDIT: IF YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH 2.6.X.X PRIOR TO THIS, LIKE I HAVE, YOU MAY RUN INTO THEM AGAIN...

I THOUGHT A WEEK OF TESTING WAS SUFFICE, BUT I WAS WRONG. I DID NOT USE IT EVERYDAY, BUT DID ENOUGH BACKUPS AND RESTORES TO BELIEVE THIS VERSION WAS RELIABLE. IT NEVER FROZE UP EITHER. I LITERALLY DID NOT RUN INTO ANY PROBLEM FOR A WHOLE WEEK UNTIL ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO, NOT EVEN A START SCREEN FREEZE. IT FROZE UP ONCE, MY ENCRYPTED BACKUPS FAILED, ALL OF THEM, ONLY THE NON-ENCRYPTED BACKUPS WORKED. I GUESS I SPOKE TOO SOON, THOUGHT A WEEK WAS GOOD ENOUGH, SORRY GUYS, HERE IS A LINK TWRPv2.5.0.2.zip TO REVERT BACK TO 2.5.0.2 WHICH HAS NEVER FAILED ME ONCE.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] giant22000:
Unfortunately, 2.6.1.0 hangs at the splash screen for 5 mins or more.... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NYCHitman1:
Force a manual reboot and it should function fine afterward.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Why bother, after a few days of running good, it will start up again out of the blue, mine as well wait for something more stable and reliable like 2.5.0.2, thought this one was going to be it, but no.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I was thinking of upgrading to 2.6.1.0 (with Goomanager), but having read this and some other posts I think I will remain with 2.5.0.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macboy3000:
How come twrp keeps thinking that I encrypted my data when I didn't at all? I end up having to wipe data every ROM install.

I'm thinking...Does this bug happen every time I copy files directly to the Internal SD?

Edit: Nvm, even 1 reboot breaks data w/o copying.

Edit2: I'm on v. 2.5.0.2.

Edit3: Finally fixed it by flashing back to stock, reflashing twrp, then the rom. Turned out that wiping the data from twrp completely breaks the data section.

Recently tried cwm 3063 touch and ouhd and i rememberd why I use TWRP. It is so much faster at back-ups it's not even funny.

By the way , the new one works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macboy3000:
First impressions: Actions such as wiping seem slower (idk if that's better or worse) and so far, no failed boots. It does start up a bit slower, compared to 2.5.0.2.

Is there any TWRP recoveries for Mediatek devices... Help me friends.. Mine is an MT device.. Hence no official builds.. Help me developers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ForcedInduction:
So how does this version compare to 2.5.0.2 for the people that installed it already?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
The latest is just as rock solid as the previous builds have been for me. Though I'm also in the minority that really hasn't experienced any problems with any of the previous builds as well. In fact, the only real problem I've ever had was hanging on the initial splash screen; and that, for me anyway, happens even less on 2.6.3.0 than it has on any other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
2.6.3.0 was working ok for 2 days with a couple of splash screen freezes, then all hell broke loose. Encrypted backups failed to restore a bunch of times. Staying with 2.5.0.2 until a newer version comes along.:confused::crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jovy23:
I hate it when it freezes at the splash screen. Easy fix for that, twrp team should have it removed or a way to turn it off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anhqn91:
I installed 2.6.3.0, made back up fine. But when I installed a ROM from it, it fails immediately. Reverted back to 2.5.0.2 and installation of the ROM went smoothly. Not sure what was wrong I tried reinstalled 2.6.3.0 again but same thing happened. Sticking with 2.5.0.2 for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tlopez1973:
I flashed the 2.6.3.0 through odin and its been OK for me so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lost_:
Was on Beanstalk CTD, with TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed via Odin. I couldn't update to 2.6.3.0 using Goomanager. It would download and say it's installed, but it would still be 2.6.1.0. Used flash_image and got error -1 (same with 2.5.0.2 img, so this could be a ROM issue). Only using 'dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21' worked.

Reboot to recovery worked at first. But afterward, it's been hanging at splash screen every single time (reboot recovery or 3-finger power up). Will dd back to 2.5.0.2 or 2.6.1.0.

EDIT: it started booting into recovery 2.6.3.0 just fine for about 3x. Then it started hanging up again. Weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zorprime01:
No issues for me.... Great job guys.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] giant22000:
2.6.3.0 is still hanging up for me but not nearly as bad. I can tell something has definitely improved the hanging at the splash screen but it's still present.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Hi Guys...

I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and is now stuck in recovery. It simply won't flash the Darthstalker S4 v9 rom. I've already wiped davlik, cache, system.

It kept saying:

E: Unable to open zip file.

Error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROMS/DARTHSTALKER_S4_V9.zip'

How do I proceed from here? I don't want to brick the phone.

What is the last known good version of TWRP without all these splash screen hanging and flashing issues? (I'm getting random splash screen hangs too)

And how do I revert TWRP back to that good version?

EDIT: Please pardon my SOS post above... I was in a panic mode. :P I have now figured it out. Found a 2.5.0.2 tar file of TWRP and used ODIN to flash it back onto my S4. Now flashing Darthstalker v9 like a charm. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nemesisgx:
Same here with ALPHA ROM Galaxy S4 M919 sometimes it will stop all together and will not move until i remove battery and restart the phone on recovery dont know why it just gets stock on splash screen:confused:

You can just hold vol up & power button. No need to remove battery or any acrobatics with 3+ buttons.. I'm going to stick with twrp even though I have to force reboot. It has the best touch ui

Finally installed newer versoin to replace 2.5.0.2 (after making sure i had it on a tar if needed), and so far no issues. Have not used it much, but no hng on booting to it).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: twrp default settings

The best thing to do would be to have TWRP always default to the most commonly used settings

to start with and then let the users choose which to check or un -check according to their needs.
