TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUTS for S4 mini 3G&LTE variants !

Good evening,

Just to be sure that TWRP LP sources are not working as is for S4 mini, i've built latest TWRP along with CyanogenMod's KK sources because if i do correctly remember, i have been able to compile a working TWRP v2.8.2.0 image when i was still owning my I9195. Anyway, these builds will likely not be working BUT that is a necessary step in order to troubleshoot the issue between TWRP LP sources and S4 mini ones.

If you do flash this tryout please report back in a detailed way :

is the recovery bootable ?

if it is the case and if you are experiencing problems with it, please attach a recovery logfile as a reply to this post, thank you !

add as many other details as you want...

Downloads :

TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT for GT-I9190 : Odin | ZIP

TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT for GT-I9195 : Odin | ZIP

NB : please use TWRP v2.8.1.0 Odin file suitable for your device and available for download from opening post to flash a well working TWRP build back to your device if you can cannot flash anything anymore with v2.8.5.0, thanks !

BIG GREEN EDIT : v2.8.5.0 has been reported as working ! :victory: Thanks [MENTION=4517909]sasank360[/MENTION] for the feedback ! :good:

EDIT : added download links for v2.8.5.0 Odin files...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hollandais:
I use a under recovery flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0 zip on my I9195 with CM 12 nightly serranoltexx and this is OK.

Is it better to stay with this TWRP or can I test the 2.8.5.0 file?

Can I flash it under recovery?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Yes ! You can flash v2.8.5.0 from inside your current recovery BUT please do not do so if do not know how to use Odin (windows OS) or any other method that you will have to use to flash v2.8.1.0 back if latest TRYOUT is not working...

Thank you !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hollandais:
I know how to use Odin. But do you mean that I can't flash back from 2.8.5.0 to an earlier twrp under recovery? Why should I go back to Odin?

Thanks

It's a tryout version. He is not knowing whether it's working or not and just wants to get some feedback. So if it's not working you may have to use ODIN. But I think you shouldn't try it first... ;)

Gesendet von meinem MediaPad 10 FHD mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
It is because of the possibility for v2.8.5.0 to not boot at all or it may boot but you might not be able to flash anything anymore with it. In such cases, Odin will be the simplest way to flash v2.8.1.0 back...

Anyway, v2.8.5.0 may also work well, with only small issues and in this last case you will be able to flash v2.8.1.0 back from recovery.

Finally, v2.8.5.0 could also work flawlessly...

Hey [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION]

Flashed the zip over twrp 2.8.1.0 Then Rebooted back to recovery and it does work. Now i am on twrp 2850

No errors in the recovery log as of now. Good to see modem backup option and also cancel backup option. :D

Will comeback again on restoring and flashing.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
That is really great news !

Thanks for having took some time to test it out... :good:

Tapatalked from my D821

EDIT : finally it seems that there is something in omnirom's S4 mini sources that breaks TWRP LP builds because if latest TWRP is built along with CyanogenMod's S4 mini sources, then the recovery is properly working ! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sasank360:
Flashing works too. Flashed cm12 nightly feb 21st. Will test restoring and report by end of the day. For now i will swim in cm12 :D

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Ahmedivx:
Thanks a million for your efforts, and if it's not too much to ask, is there any possibility that you can port this to the Galaxy S5 Mini variants, it's like the S4 Mini not supported officially, I already use version 2.8.1.0 for my SM-G800H (Duos Version) and it's an Alpha release hasn't been updated since release, if I can help in anyway with files or testing (that's most probably you don't have a phone to use it for testing), I will be glad to help.

Working without any problems on i9192. Thanks a Lot.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] pakster67:
Hi and thanks for your great job!

Just a little notes:

- unfortunately the brightness control still does not work

- and when I try to reboot recovery I always boot in to the system
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sasank360:
Yes. Reboot recovery takes us to system.

Brightness control not working.

(not big issue)

But restoring works. Now i am back on stock. No other issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good morning,

It is absolutely normal that brightness control is not working because i disabled it; this is certainly mandatory to do so for the recovery to boot correctly like it was the case when using TWRP KK sources to build the recovery image.

Is there any 'reboot to recovery' button inside latest recovery ? Anyway, AFAIK on SAMSUNG's devices it is only possible to reboot from recovery straight into system, unless you press on 'vol. up + home' physical buttons of your phone while it is rebooting in order to enter into recovery again... (it is not possible to software reboot to bootloader or recovery)

Be well

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I am really sorry but i will not offer any new port of any kind for any other device than those for which i am currently maintaining one or several projects. I do not have enough time for this. Thank you for your understanding.

All the best.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hollandais:
I did it. Just flashed the 2.8.5.0 TWRP over my 2.8.1.0 recovery under recovery. Seems OK.

Reboot normal. Power menu shows:

Shut down

Reboot

Profile

Airplane mode

Edit a bug report.

In reboot everything is OK.

I went into Recovery and it's OK.

So I'll try it out. In case of problems I can flash 2.8.1.0 again.

Thanks

In older versions and from expanded power menu you can directly boot to recovery on Samsung devices
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Yes ! That is true for custom ROMs but i was talking about the ability to reboot straight into recovery from recovery ;)

Anyway, you are certainly right... i am maybe wrong...

Have a nice day.

Tapatalked from my D821
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mielletseed:
I know but in the 2.8.1.0 and 2.7.1.0 version you can reboot directly into recovery from recovery too :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Sprudeldudel:
Sorry for missing this, but what exactly is the benefit of 2.8.5.0 over the previous versions?

Is there a change log somewhere?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] pakster67:
Sorry but I do not exactly put...

I mean that if you trying to reboot recovery from the recovery menu (in the recovery choose: reboot / recovery and you will get in to the system)

Thanks again :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Allright,

I am finally getting it ! ;) (quite slow am i today...)

I have already observed such behaviour with TWRP LP branch built for TF300T... i think that i will report this issue to TeamWin DEV team because it occurs across different devices; at the same time, i will report that using CM ROM tree instead of omnirom one when building latest TWRP LP branch for S4 mini fixes the recovery image...

Greetings

TWRP v2.8.5.0 screenshots wanted !

Good evening,

It will be great if any one of you could post some latest TWRP build screenshots as a reply to this post or over PM, in order to update opening post... :good:

It will be the occasion to check the 'take a screenshot from recovery feature'... to take one : simply press 'volume down' + 'power' hardware combo key on your device in order to save a screenshot from recovery to your microSD (files are saved on it to 'pictures/screenshots' directory...).

Thanks you !

PS : as it seems that latest build is running fine with minor issues only (reboot to recovery from recovery not working while brightness control needs to be disabled for TWRP to boot properly...), i will update opening post this weekend by replacing v2.8.1.0 download links with v2.8.5.0 ones and by updating attached screenshots (thanks for submitting BTW).

Hi,

I flashed the last recovery v2.8.5.0 without any problems for my i9195 LTE but when i want to mount the internal SD or the microSD nothing happens.

I'm the only in this case ?

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

Please look at the recovery log to see if TWRP is complaining about something and save it in order to post it as an attachment... if neither internal nor external storage can be mounted, the log file should be saved to /tmp.

Running :

sudo adb pull /tmp/recovery.log ./

... from a linux shell will copy it to current directory... ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Hello,

I've just checked your log file out and i've not found any lead for this issue in it : if i am following you right, you cannot mount neither internal storage nor external one if MTP is enabled isn't it (at boot or afterwards) ? And if you disable this feature, then both can be mounted for use with adb, am i correct ? However, after having looked at your log file, it seems that internal and external storage MTP setup is OK...

I will go deeper into this issue as soon as i can and i will keep you informed about it !

Good night

Hi ne0zone75,

Sorry for the late but i was busy...

Here is my log from your recovery, i hope you can find a solution for this little issue :)

http://pastebin.com/9JA6825a

Edit : I found another issue, i have full wiped my device (because i need to install a new ROM) so i go to Wipe menu ==> Advanced Wipe ==> Check all (except microSD Card) and swipe to wipe. Then i go to Wipe Menu ==> Format Data ==> Yes and when i want to reboot the device in recovery mode via the Reboot Menu ==> Recovery it's ask me that i loose the root and if i want to install it. So i have two choices, Don't install it or Swipe to install it and when i choose to Don't install it nothing happens ! the only choice i have to continue is to swipe.

Thank you for your support and the future fix.

Regards.

Hi all,

Just to let you know there is an issue with TWRP 2.8.5.0 with regards to partitioning the SDcard. It gets to the end and comes up with an error at the end.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Hello,

Please try to reproduce this issue and then post the recovery.log file as an attachment to the reply to my post... ;)

Thank you !

NB : is anybody confirming this new one BTW ?! Thanks :good:

Tapatalked from my D821

EDIT : [MENTION=4980582]CPJames[/MENTION], after having looked at your recovery.log file, it seems that your issue IS connected to the already reported 'MTP' one; while i am trying to find a fix for the 'MTP' bug, you will have to disable MTP from the 'mount' tab before being able to play successfully with sdcard partitioning... ;) Let me know if it helps...

NB : IMO, enable MTP just only when you do want to play with its features, otherwise please leave it disabled for now... thanks ! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
Good afternoon,

Well, i will add this one to the known bugs list... ;) IMO it is connected to the previously reported 'reboot to recovery from recovery' issue : when you did experience this new bug, it was after having performed a full wipe and formatted /data, then

you did select reboot to recovery from the reboot menu

isn't it ?!

NB :

to all

=> when reporting a new bug, please include a log file as an attachement to your post everytime that you are able to do so..., thank you !

EDIT : [MENTION=896992]Oijkn[/MENTION], i've just checked your recovery.log file about the 'MTP' issue and like for [MENTION=3860593]semdoc[/MENTION], i have not found any clue about what is not going fine : MTP setup for both internal and external storage seems OK, MTP server is started successfully too... :confused: I will report this one and the other known bugs to [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] at the beginning of next week !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] semdoc:
Thanx for looking into :)

Yes. Right. Checked recovery log.. Nothing wrong there..

Toggling mtp button does nothing and I ain't able to mount both internal and external storages.. Didn't tried with OTG USB storage...

Btw, Arne merged to msm8930-common device something related with Selinux and recovery.. Need to check that...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi ne0zone75,

Yes you are right ! And thank you for your support mate ! I hope you can find a fix for the mount issue.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] CPJames:
After disabling MTP I still get the error message unable to locate sd-ext partition.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I will look closely at your log file again very soon... Are all the tasks you did try to perform with sdcard partitioning successfully done, despite of the error message ?

PS : is it possible to simply toggle MTP off or not ? If MTP can be disabled successfully, then try to boot into recovery with it disabled... thanks ! At the opposite, is anyone needing MTP features ?! Because, there is a TWRP build flag to exclude it completely from recovery at build time...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] CPJames:
I'm unable to use the partition it creates with Link2sd so I'm assuming it's not creating it probably. How do you disable MTP in CM12?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ne0zone75:
I think that you do want to know how to disable MTP in

TWRP

instead, isn't it ? Go to the 'mount' tab and click on 'disable MTP' button... but if i followed [MENTION=3860593]semdoc[/MENTION] correctly some posts above, MTP cannot be properly toggled OFF anyway...

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

I do not know much about TWRP theming, so i grabbed this from [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] main TWRP theme thread :

... i assume that you should create a 'TWRP/theme' folder on your internal storage like described above and copy your theme archive into it after having renamed it to ui.zip ! :good:

Let me know if it helped,

Good night
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DeusEx80:
For TWRP theme, i'm using this ported version by Darkfalcon, of the z31s1g's original theme : http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/themes-apps/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2937406

There is the specified version for 540x960 resolution and it is for TWRP 2.8.5.X

Works very good with your TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery

Instructions that i follow:

1) Download the file zip for 540x960

2) Rename it in "ui.zip"

3) Copy it into "/storage/emulated/0/TWRP/theme/" with a file manager (if folder doesn't exist, create it)

4) Reboot into recovery and verify the new theme

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] boroboy40:
Yeah thanks for that it sorted it for me and now I think about it I'm sure that's the way I ad to do it b4 but forgot about so thanks for help much appreciated

Opening post download links updated + new TRYOUTS !

Good afternoon,

I've just finished to update download links of post #1 :

STABLE branch downloads are now the ones which were previously TRYOUT ones (v2.8.5.0 built against CM-11.0 and which have been reported as working with some issues : MTP, sdcard partitioning and 'reboot to recovery from recovery'...) <= files have been repacked, then renamed and finally uploaded again so their respective download counter is resetted !

DEV branch is still empty...

TRYOUTS branch downloads are the new files (v2.8.5.0 built along with CM-12.0 in order to see if there is any positive impact about issues which are affecting the STABLE branch : in these builds, only sdcard partitioning is disabled, every other TWRP build flag is left as it was set in CM-11.0 builds)

CM-12.0 GT-I9190 TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT

CM-12.0 GT-I9195 TWRP v2.8.5.0 TRYOUT

Happy flashing and thanks in advance for the feedback about new releases ! (just hoping it will boot...) :fingers-crossed:

NB : new TRYOUTS are only available as flashable ZIPs ATM...

When you says "only available as flashable ZIPs" do you mean under recovery or with Odin. Both are flash for me.
