hint...

one can take the custom-twrp-3.1.1-3-serranoltexx-TRYOUT.tar.md5.7z

extract the

custom-twrp-3.1.1-3-serranoltexx-TRYOUT.tar.md5

rename to

custom-twrp-3.1.1-3-serranoltexx-TRYOUT.tar.zip

extract the

recovery.tar.md5

rename to

recovery.tar

extract the

recovery.img

place that file on the device storage

boot into recovery

select install

select image

browse to folder an select

recovery.img

select recovery

an finally flash

reboot into recovery

it is 3.1.1-3

there is no need for flashable zip if a pc is available or an android filemanager with archive-support.

EDiT:

this way one can use the odin files if no flashable zip is available, but

a pc or an android filemanager with archive-support.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I do agree with you but i think that you will agree too that a flashable .zip is more convenient...

Hi, due to the recent M8 release, here comes my upgrade flashing cycle, so I was just wondering:

Have you released TWRP with ADB fix somewhere else? Cause the builds in the first post are dated prior to your note.

If the update is not out yet, can you provide a few details on what's currently wrong with ADB, so I would know where to be more careful?

Thanks :)

Hello and sorry for having freezed all my projects in the hurry a little bit. FTM i will not offer any updates to my TWRP projects (Trasfomer Pad & S4 mini) because i have almost no time to update them !

TRYOUTS builds released !

Good afternoon,

Post #1 has just been updated with new Dev-Host links (xda downloads tab will be updated later). :good:

TRYOUTS

:

The main goal is that these prerelease builds will be community tested before they are flagged as working since i do not own a S4 mini anymore...

Anyway, i am trying to find a good way to emulate my SlimKAT ports target devices properly and that is not that easy... in order to test my builds internally before they go public. ;)

Wishing the very best to all of you,

Nice evening
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Updates will come shortly...

Good afternoon,

A lot of cleanup must be done with this project; once done i will update both STABLE & DEV branches and ALL TRYOUTS will be removed !

-> STABLE branch : every current feature of TWRP will be working (including handling of encryption of /data) <= EXT4 ONLY !

-> DEV branch : every current feature of TWRP will be working (

excluding

handling of encryption of /data because F2FS is not friendly with it...). There will be two versions : one supporting only ONE F2FS partiton (/data) and another one which will be ALL-F2FS !

Stay tuned !

EDIT

: STABLE branch is updated on post #1 for each variant (Android File Host); downloads tab of this project will be updated later... DEV branch will be updated soon...

All files will be updated and uploaded by tomorrow evening... :good:

All the best ! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good evening,

All my TWRP builds will be updated and delivered to you within two hours... :good: ;)

-> DEV branch : two files per device (single F2FS and all F2FS) ;available as flashable. zip files only.

-> STABLE branch : two files per device too and updated again in order to have the same basis as DEV branch. (flashable. zip and. tar.md5 files)

Stay tuned !

NB : From now on, all my TWRP builds will be built only against CyanogenMod 's sources with UBERUTILS GCC toolchain 4.7 (kernel + recovery itself)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Updates online !

Good evening,

Both DEV branches are updated (2 new files per device); please check post #1 out ! Both STABLE branches will be updated later... (2 files per device too...)

Just hoping that everything will work as expected ! :cowboy: :fingers-crossed: :cool:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good morning,

What exactly failed to work ?! Had the recovery been flashed successfully (what method did you use ? .tar.md5 via Odin or .zip) ? If it is the case, is the recovery booting or not ?

Anyway can you give a lot more details about your issue ? Thank you !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MJay99:
[MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION]: Thank you once more for another tryout! v3.2.0 installed nicely via Odin and boots fine on my device.

Just, sadly, OTA updates are still not working for me without manual intervention. Downloaded via the LOS updater, automatically verified sucessfully and after clicking install, it prepared and rebooted automatically into TWRP where it still stops right at the main menu - no error message or attempt of an update at all.

Is there any test or debug log I could help you with?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] reggger:
sorry if my proposal is noobish.

does it have sth to do with lineage os updater changed the folder where the .zip is saved?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
I don't think so as (from memory) this issue existed prior to that change, but good suggestion. It was a common problem on several phones, I think, at last the behaviour was the same, though possibly different cause?

I did read a couple of comments on forums, one said "wiping cache & dalvik " then try auto install again and it will install. The other said to disable zip verification, not something I'd recommend though, but it then installed automatically. Maybe I will try these tonight & also see if I can copy log in TWRP advanced settings to send to [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] (he doesn't have an S4 mini anymore, I think)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MJay99:
Thanks for these hints! I now tried updating after wiping cache & dalvik, again after enabling zip verification and once more after disabling zip verification - sadly all three attempts to no avail, the OTA-update triggered reboot always stops at the main menu of TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
Thanks for feedback. Shame it didn't work, but at least we know. I haven't had a chance to try update and look at TWRP log for any clues. Now off to bed!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:

Hello everyone,

New files are available from AFH and downloads section of this thread : they are flagged as STABLE because TRYOUTs are working well for a while now BUT LOS's recovery updating feature should still fail (i will work on it ASAP). There are a few commits more in v3.2.0-1 vs v3.2.0-0...

I've made a huge cleanup of post #1 and updated post #2.

Do not forget to report back in a negative or positive way : i will be happy to get logs about failing LOS's updating feature... thanks !

Just made an account, so first of all

[MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] thanks a lot, great work. I am using your twrp version about a year now on my s4 mini and it's much better than official Version for S4 a friend is using

Yesterday I tried twrp 3.1.N1 https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=152518

Found it in official aokp threat for S4 mini https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-05-nov-2016-t3494689

Now my lineageos updater works.

IMPORTANT: After flashing and reboot into recovery this version starts the last update u downloaded and klicked install, no matter if the file is still there. If it's missing the script gets stuck.

I hope it's helpful
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MJay99:
Very helpful, indeed - thanks a lot! AOKP's TWRP version really does automatically flash from lineageos-updater (just tried with the latest LOS update from today). Very nice! So, maybe there is really just something minor missing here...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] reggger:
So somebody only needs to compare the update script of both versions, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ilailailaila:
very thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rm43115:
I don't know - but I know if you take the other TWRP from the official aokp threat LineageOS-Updater works ... since weeks for me.

I never used an APP to update the Recovery Version.

Boot into Recovery , install Zip or .img

Reboot Recovery and your Version are updated.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
As [MENTION=5390857]bierma32[/MENTION] says, there is no need to do this now as it will update itself if you use the zip file, see Option 2 in the OP, the one called recovery is the zip.

Stable branch is the best option,

Hi,

I'm struggling to flash TWRP on my S4 mini.

Everything works via Odin, but when I get to step 6, it just reboots, and I can't get it to boot into recovery.

The split second the phone starts vibrating I press Vol Up + Home, but it just reboots normally.

If I press Vol Up + Home just before the phone starts vibrating (right when the screen turns black), I reboot into Odin mode and my PC can't find the phone.

Edit: I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, and have the same issue with both. I'm probably doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
... try another USB cable between your phone and PC...

... also, try another USB port on your PC (no hub please)...

... let me know if it helped...

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Waelvis:
Tried 4 different cables, and all 3 USB-ports on my laptop. Nothing works.

I'll try it on my desktop at home tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
Are you pressing & HOLDING them down?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Thoadi:
and power button?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mielletseed:
this is not necessary, when the phone is rebooting already. It's important to keep volume and home button pressed while it's powering on...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Waelvis:
Same problem on all my computers (2 laptops and a desktop)

So I tried to untick the auto reboot in Odin, and tried to manually reboot the phone into recovery.

But when I do this, it restarts in download mode (Odin Mode) with a red error at the top saying "could not do normal boot"

I keep trying to reboot the phone into recovery, but everytime it restarts with that error.

Unless I boot normally, then Android starts.

Edit: I think I'm gonna reset the phones to factory settings and try again then.

I did this exact same thing with my old samsung tablet a few weeks ago, and it worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] joergerd:
I have the same proplem with a I9195 here. Reboots in Odin Mode with the same error. Any ideas?

Edit: Little idiot here... I tried to flash an I9151I with this recovery. Sorry for that. [MENTION=7683486]Waelvis[/MENTION], maybe you tried the same? If you have an i9195i you have to use recovery for the serranovelte...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Waelvis:
Damned you're right. Guess I'm a big idiot :)

I indeed try to flash a GT-i9151I.

In the meantime I tried flashing a recovery I found on the official site from TWRP, and it worked instantly.

Now I'm gonna look for a suitable ROM :)

Didn't know the GT-I9151I was so special, and apparently kinda rare.

Edit: could you perhaps point me to a working ROM for the I9151I? (Without root)

Because I can only find ROM's that are rooted, but I need to be able to pass the SafetyNet check (for Pokémon go).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] joergerd:
No, sorry. I used the Lineage ROM from here XDA-dev-thread (Pokémon go isn't starting there (doesn't log in))

Yes ! You are right, TWRP for S4 mini series is now official ! This is great BUT i think this is quite a slow move. Anyway TWRP team must have his reasons for this late support.

I stand on the shoulders of giants, such as ne0zone75 ;) I took the liberty of learning from his code and building an updated device tree entirely of my own accord. I'm not affiliated with TeamWin at all, I just submit my repos to them.

That said, when future versions of twrp are released, I encourage everyone to try ne0zone75's "tryout" builds if he will still be building them himself.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
First of all, thank you for introducing yourself.

I understand your answer BUT what is the purpose of your behavior since you are encouraging my users to continue to use my builds... [emoji53]

Why am I encouraging users to use your builds? Because you've been releasing tryout and stable releases for a long time and yours are very stable. I use the TWRP-ifying code from the lineage repos, which I'm sure you contribute to. Why not have official support for a phone that has had unofficial support for years, since the TWRP code is clearly very stable?

With all due respect to you, no one has bothered to submit an recent TWRP device tree for official support for the S4 Mini, so why shouldn't I do it? I taught myself how to develop TWRP as a step toward learning to develop lineage, since its a microcosm of a full rom codebase.

I just want to make sure you know that I'm not trying to undermine your work.

I was a big fan of your recovery!

Except for the Lineage Auto Update problem, there was never any trouble and your TWRP "saved my ass" more than once.

MANY THANKS!!!!

P.S .: For some time I use a Sony Xperia Z5 compact as the main unit - the S4 mini was too slow for me. For the Z5 compact, there is no current, good TWRP ... I mean only if you are looking for new fields of activity! :)

This unofficial one here is working perfectly with the SD.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ZeroPointMax:
That may be because of licensing issues. Microsoft wants a paid license for developers to implement their Filesystem.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sacharja:
Indeed, however there seems to be a solution for Samsung products at least: https://github.com/bkuhn/exfat . Maybe ne0zone75 included this, but the TWRP guys don't use any Samsung device specific drivers.
