v3.2.0-1 (STABLE)

+ v3.2.0-0 (TRYOUTs)

​

​

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. TWRP also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.

TeamWin was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After their work on the EVO 4G they wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and they settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

INSTALLATION

:

=> Option 1 : your device does not have any custom recovery yet ! Please download the 7zipped .tar.md5 file of your choice below, then flash it through Odin (windows OS).

=> Option 2 : a custom recovery has already been flashed to your device ! Please download the flashable .zip file of your choice below and flash it from recovery as usual.

BIG ORANGE WARNING : if you are coming from regular / PhilZ CWM or legacy TWRP, then please do prefer the Odin way ! Thank you !

QUICK ODIN HOWTO : assuming that your Odin installation for S4 mini is OK (thanks @arco68 for this) !

Turn your device OFF.

Press AND hold 'PWR' + 'VOL. DOWN' + 'HOME' buttons.

Connect your USB cable and press 'VOL. UP' button to confirm that you want to enter into DL mode.

Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click 'AP' button.

Select my 'recovery.tar.md5' file that you previously extracted from my 7zip archive and press 'Start' button. The phone will reboot when finished.

When the phone begins to vibrate just before rebooting : IMMEDIATELY press and hold 'VOL. UP' + 'HOME' buttons to boot straightly into your new recovery. <= THIS LAST STEP IS NEEDED ONLY ON SOME S4 MINI DEVICES TO ACHIEVE THE FLASHING PROCESS SUCCESSFULLY.

PS

: TWRP for S4 mini is available as three separate download categories : STABLE, DEV & TRYOUTS ! The DEV branch is based off the stable one and is including features that are not available in the STABLE one yet (as upstream not merged commits...) ! So the DEV branch is as stable as the STABLE one except for currently previewed features...​
