New attempt for TWRP v2.8.6.0 !

Good evening,

Fresh files are available from AFH and only as ODIN flashable archives ATM (recovery flashable files will be released soon if it goes well...)

Please let me know if it is working or not..., thank you ! :fingers-crossed: :good:

GT-I9190 : TWRP v2.8.6.0 for serrano3gxx

GT-I9192 : TWRP v2.8.6.0 for serranodsxx

GT-I9195 : TWRP v2.8.6.0 for serranoltexx

Happy flashing !

BIG RED NOTE TO ALL : flash above files at your own risk ! It will not harm your device to do so BUT it will maybe be not functional : it is quite difficult now to compile current TWRP for non officially supported devices... i think so at least ;) This release has been compiled against OmniROM 5.0 source tree (BUT with 5.1 branch of TWRP...) while OmniROM 5.1 source has been used in my recent v2.8.6.0 failed TRYOUTS...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] thallyswb:
Even before problem. :(

But do not give up!

GT-I9192
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Well... if he is not too busy, i will ask [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] for assistance on this one ;)

Thanks for the feedback !

Hey just rooting a 9192 would like if someone could confirm that this would work https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952614510

Hello,

Using the v2.8.5.0 version from post #1 for GT-I9192 will work !

NB : the link you provided is heading to v2.8.6.0 which does not work sadly...

One more try for v2.8.6.0 !

Hello there,

New files are available for download from AFH, still only as 7zipped Odin packages ATM :

-> built using cm-12.1

-> thanks [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] for his valuable help :good:

... you will tell me if it is better ! :fingers-crossed: :eek:

Also, if it is not working, i will soon get my hands back on a S4 mini LTE so it will be easier for me to narrow down the problem ;)

GT-I9190 : v2.8.6.0 | DH (mirror)

GT-I9192 : v2.8.6.0 | DH (mirror)

GT-I9195 : v2.8.6.0 | DH (mirror)

Nice week-end to you !

NOTE : AFH is currently experiencing issues, you will find DH links just above as mirror ones ;)

Will this UI work on S5? Really got interested!!!

You could make a modification for S5 because I really liked it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Android-Andi:
Try it. TWRP scales to fit the ui, maybe you need a higher res, but wouldn't be a problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
So what do I need to do. Because I copied the UI.ZIP file to the THEME folder (which I had to manually created since it wasn't there).

I can't see it.

Fu$k yeah!! It looks awesome!!! Thanks

Much better than before and much more like it belongs to the phone now!!! Really cool!!! Thank you again!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good morning,

Yes ! Of course i am interested in your script ! :highfive: I will use it soon and let you know if i need some help to run it ! :good:

Anyway, thank you again for everything ! :victory:

Does it work with new GT-i9195i ?

Hi, tried to flash this recovery to GT-i9195i (s4 mini value edition with qc cpu) and not able to boot recovery. Flash via odin looks OK, but when trying to boot recovery, phone boots to odin (download) mode and displays red message Could not do normal boot at the top of the screen. Any experiences running twrp on this model ? Thx...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good morning,

Your device is based off 'Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916' vs 'Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930AB' for "classic" S4 mini series ;)

It will not work then sadly...

Regards

NB : please refer on how to safely flash using Odin with this new device to avoid any potential severe issue by searching over xda for example... :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] martin.eu:
Thanks, lets say I expected such answer... hope there will be any recovery for this device soon...

I have searched xda for any experience with this device, but didnt find anything regarding this model, except of several threads confirming that it is different model with no roms/kernel/recovery available :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Since S4 mini series is very popular, this new phone will probably get such support soon IMO...

All the best !

Good evening,

I am currently troubleshooting the v2.8.6.0 'non booting' issue...

Please stay tuned ! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Michaelmania:
I'm actually a bit scared to try the new build. My philosophy is "if it ain't broken, don't fix it". Sorry I can't give a feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] thallyswb:
Looking forward, will leave today?

Hoping to test :) :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
It is fine by me ;) Furthermore, i completely do agree with you because i share the same philosophy but the problem is that v2.8.6.0 is broken ;) :angel:

Be well !

It will take some time... to be honest i'm a bit lost on what is going wrong... :confused: :crying:

Twrp was nice but without having backup on sd card its useless so returned to cwm

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Michaelmania:
On a different note. I was browsing some other sub-forums here in xda for some of my friends' devices. After going round, I must admit I'm fortunate to have devs like [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] continuing to support our devices and pushing the boundaries of perfection. A shoutout to all those who submit constructive feedback to help these devs along.

:o crying with pride
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
This one goes directly to heart ! :highfive: :good:

Good night !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
Now that is funny. It worked nice on my S5 but on my S4 mini the swipe button is cut in half. Did I do anything wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
v2.8.6.0 is broken ATM... while v2.8.5.0 is fully working ;)

The issue you are describing is probably related to fonts being too big, you can adjust their size by modifying '/twres/ui.xml' :

<resource name="fixed" type="font" filename="DroidSansMono.ttf" size="30" />

... simply set size="30" to a lower value ;)

I am currently troubleshooting the issues with the most up to date version...

Thanks for your patience !

PS : [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] was talking about the fact that now i am building TWRP along with CyanogenMod 12.1,thanks to him and for his work, but he was not aware that my output files refuse to boot...

New builds are available !

Good morning,

Here are the download links from AFH + DH (mirror) for new TRYOUTS :

GT-I9190 [AFH] | DH (mirror)

GT-I9195 [AFH] | DH (mirror)

You did notice that GT-I9192 package is missing... i will restore full lineup (all S4 mini variants in Odin + recovery flashable flavours) if those above are working ! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for testing them out and for reporting back ;) :good:

BIG RED EDIT : files above still seem to be broken ! Please be very cautious with them ! :crying: :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] WaKaManG:
After flashing i booted to system. Then rebooted to recovery.

After the samsung logo and recovery boot msg , phone goes off. When u press the power button phone goes on and after logo off again.

So i restarted in download mode and flashed 2.8.5.0 again.

I'm on I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
I am still using 2.8.5.0. But I will try the font tip and see if it helps. Strange that only the swipe button gets messed up. Everything else fits the screen perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I will not make it with LP sources so i am syncing old KK ones ATM and will build TWRP again with those ASAP... :mad:

Thanks for the screenshot..., it sounds as improper resolution scaling to me...

Had to remove the battery and put it back. Now system loaded.

Can you still boot to 'system' after having powered your device off then back on ?

This is a testing build and it seems that it needs some fixes...

Updated packages for v2.8.6.0 (odin + recovery flashable) ! (with updated UI)

Good evening,

I have built TWRP again along with CM-12.0 this time, in order to try to fix bugs which have been reported in previous release of post #555 (CM-11.0 was used); in this release, UI has been updated by 'cherry-picking' this commit (thanks [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] BTW).

Files are available from AFH for all S4 mini variants in odin + recovery flashable flavours ;) :good:

... just hoping it will be fully working now ! :fingers-crossed:

GT-I9190 : odin | recovery

GT-I9192 : odin | recovery

GT-I9195 : odin | recovery

All the best !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pangadaywalker:
Seems to be worse now. I can't boot in recovery. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Okay ! I am terribly confused but there is something that i am not figuring out about the issues that i am experiencing in trying to update my TWRP builds to v2.8.6.0... :confused: :mad:

I've talked about this to [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] and he is now building TWRP without any MOD anymore so if you want, you can easily switch to his packages...

Meanwhile, i will try to make it work...

What is the purpose of this thread?

I think it is very confusing to people to start new threads about, what appears, to be the exact same thing that already exists.

[RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery 2.7.0.0 for GT-I9195 [2014-03-16]

Did I miss something? If you're just providing a link to the DEV version, you could have done this in the other thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Hi, yes you are missing something : you just forgot to say hello !

Well... that is not because you are thinking that people are confused with threads that seem to be the same that they really are... confused !

FYI and like i wrote it down in post 1, i've started compiling this TWRP build for myself with SlimKAT ROM i've ported to GT-I9195; i've started to share both, recovery first, then ROM... just to share ! I have no other purpose here since i'm a little busy these days !

Now let me ask you a simple question...

What is your real purpose here for posting such statement ?

Getting error 'couldn't save screenshot storage maybe in use' with latest stable and dev build don't know if it is recovery or rom related.

Can anyone verify? Take a screen shot via power button or power plus volume down combination
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Well, FYI the 'take a screenshot' from recovery feature is ONLY available through the DEV branch... With that said, if you have a microSD card inserted into your device, screenshots will be saved to it into 'Pictures/Screenshots' directory when pressing 'vol. down' + 'power' hardware buttons : i can confirm that it is perfectly working using a microSD unless it is not full; but if you do not have a microSD inserted into your device, then screenshots will be saved to '/tmp' from internal storage ;)

And i remind you that since this feature is available through the DEV branch, it is because the regarding commit was not merged at build date so it may not be 100% stable...

Best regards

Tapatalked from my TF701T
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] spanish33:
Yes it works in recovery but I am talking about taking a screenshot when you boot the phone to android os.

I asked because looking up the issue says it could be the recovery so I want to know if you have this issue or not so I can rule the recovery out.

Did the i9190 version not work out? I have been waiting for it in flashable zip format to try out...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
ATM it seems it's not working and that is surprising me a little bit... one user reported back so far and it was not properly booting on his device sadly...

But when i'll get some free time left, i'll re-work on it for sure ;)

There is a flashable .zip for it available for download a few posts ago BTW... you can try it out if you want to but you can also wait for the next pre-release ;) (no ETA at this time...)

Best regards

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
Thanks I cannot find the zip but have downloaded the md5 and will try it later. If it doesn't work then I will need to use Odin anyway. The main reason I would like to see this on this for the i9190 is that it is actively updated and includes a file manager. Aroma file manager for Philz Touch has one VERY annoying bug and I haven't seen a single update for it since I got my phone :/

P.S. I can't remember if I tried your version or the other one but a while ago I tried out TWRP by modifying the updater-script and it successfully booted. So I don't see why it wouldn't. The only problem I had with it then was that it would only let me install zips for the i9195.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

@ne0zone75 - apologies for the double post, maybe this information can help you. I can confirm your i9190 md5 does not work. Then I just tried out your latest i9195 flashable zip and it definitely works.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Okay, thanks for reporting back :good:

You will be informed about my next TWRP for GT-I9190 pre-release ASAP when it will become available for download...

About the behavior of my current recovery for GT-I9190... can you provide a detailed description of what is not working please... it will help me a lot because i do not own such a device BUT a GT-9195...

TWRP for GT-I9190 pre-release... part II

Good morning ;)

Please find as an attachement to this post a newly built TWRP for GT-I9190 pre-release as a .tar.md5 zipped file... please flash it through Odin AND if you do have any issue with it please give me feedback about it... thank you !

You could check this if you want to :

-> Is it properly booting to recovery UI ?

-> If you are stucked into the TWRP UI, is it a hang or something else (in this case, when 'freezed', plug your device to your computer through USB and check if you have adb connectivity from your computer to your device by typing this from inside a terminal : 'sudo adb devices' on Linux -> if it returns something then the recovery is 'freezed' but not hanged which means that the recovery system is alive...)

-> If everything seems to be working and if you have some free time to spend on it, then it would be great if you could perform a quick review of its features... :good: ;)

It has been compiled along with CyanogenMod 11.0 (stable branch) and includes all TWRP merged commits at build date from OmniROM sources tree...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
Working 100% so far. Terminal emulator works, file manager works, saved preferences stick, I made a backup, wiped my phone, restored the backup and it all works.

The problem with the original one was that it would never boot up, it just stuck at that black and white 'Samsung' screen. This time it boots up in a matter of seconds.

My day has just begun here so I will test installing a zip and some themes in a little while but so far 100% :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Well... first of all thank you a lot for having spent some of your free time reviewing it :good: Your feedback is very precious for me ;)

Now that it is confirmed that this TWRP for GT-I9190 pre-release build is working, it should work as well as the GT-I9195 variant, which means that everything should be running like it is intented... AND because of the fact that from a sources point of view there is really a few amount of specific code for LTE & 3G variants (the main sources part is shared for the two devices into a common sources tree... only the kernel of course is different !).

With that said it's seems logical that the pre-release your are reviewing is running well because the LTE variant one is working perfectly BUT it also means that i really do not have a clue about what was wrong with the initial TWRP for GT-I9190 pre-release which was not working at all !

Anyway, later today i will release on post 1 of this thread, along with new builds for the LTE variant, STABLE & DEV builds for the 3G variant : one from the STABLE branch that will be the one your are currently reviewing while the one from the DEV branch will feature the 'take a screenshot' from recovery preview and will be a very few commits behind the one from the STABLE branch :victory : good:

Very nice Sunday to every one of you :D

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
No, thank you for bringing this to our devices. It helps all of us to have things that work correctly and now thanks to you our possibilities have increased :)

Can confirm that a zip file installs correctly and themes are working correctly. Now I can successfully work with my files from recovery without the danger of Aroma corrupting something :)
