Hi guys,

TWRP rocks! But for some reason it stopped being able to wipe cache & dalvik cache. I tried multiple times, app cache is still there and dalvik does not get re-built on reboot. What gives? :eek:

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Hippie459MN:
I can't seem to find an actual change log for what was changed. Any idea where I can find it?

Also, wonder if it will fix the issue of me not being able to actually complete a back up. On 3.2.3-0 it would always fail (createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 Backup Failed. Cleaning Backup Folder.) and I cant remember what version I had before updating that worked just fine.

Downgrade

Hi I have a question that consumes me for a couple of days and is: It is possible to downgrade from 3.3 to 3.0 for example because I would like to try Oreo for my S5 but if I don't like it I'd like to go back to Nougat. : o

P.Š. I can't use PC but only Twrp.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Hippie459MN:
You can install any version you want to use, Forwards or backwards, without issue. I have downgraded many times. Im currently on the latest version and im on LineageOS 16 (pie) and the latest version work with my stock sprint MM firmware, and under LineageOS 16.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] v00d007:
So, still no Aroma installer support?? What's this all about anyways? Last working version for Aroma is still v3.0.2.0...
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ibuprophen:
I'm not a TWRP Developer and I actually don't personally use Aroma Installers in TWRP myself only because I have never really found a personal need to use them.

I had performed a quick search in the Github TWRP Repo regarding this and most of the responses I see from the Official TWRP Maintainers are basically...

... as reflected on the following 2 (recent) comments/responses.

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1291#issuecomment-412272513

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1374#issuecomment-450465114

If it were me, having AROMA issues, I would be asking whoever created the AROMA Installer package for Support and Guidance.

This is the best guidance I can help you with... :thumbup:

Good Luck! :)

I'm not trying to argue with you and I do apologize if my last post came out in the wrong light.

I am not stating that the Official is better than the Unofficial nor the other way around.

I'm just pointing out that your posting a response for another member towards the Unofficial TWRP on the Official TWRP thread without any clear point, reason, clarification, etc...

I would like to providing you with some advice/suggestion/recommendation that if your responding to an issue someone is having, that points to another development, you should provide some type of clarity.

In this case, if the Unofficial TWRP has that specific issue addressed/resolved, then it would be great for you to state this and all would have been well.

I hope that I had explained and clarified this okay via text... :thumbup:

This topic is, to me, closed...

Thank you very much for your time and understanding with this and I do wish you the Best of Luck My Friend! :)

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
I am running latest official TWRP on klte g900t running Lineage OS 16. I am using my SD card as adopted storage. I believe this is the reason it takes my recovery 5 minutes to boot as it has to decrypt the adopted storage. Is it possible to run adopted storage without encryption so that the recovery does not take so long to boot?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MysteryIII:
I don't know of any way to stop encrypting adoptable storage but of a workaround, use it as external/removable storage and create a second partition on it for Link2SD. This way you can use UMS Mode for SD Card with Tuned Kernel (and any boeffla based kernel) together with the boeffla App. It's a huge difference in question of speed (read/write) and usage with other devices like computer.

Steps you need to take:

Create 2 Partitions: one exFAT for external Storage and one ext4 for Link2SD.

Insert SD Card in Device and boot.

You get two notifications for Storage usage, only set for the exFAT partition as external/removable storage, ignore the other one.

Install Link2SD and make it system\priv-app otherwise it won't be able to write mount script. You can use Magisk module symstemizer together with terminal app for example. Then reboot, maybe you need to delete Dalvik/Cache.

Start Link2SD and let mount script create. Now you can push Apps to the ext4 partition, if you have Link2SD Plus you can even push internal data (like obb files) to it and the App won't need any internal storage at all (beside cache).

On system start you will always get a system notification that there is a problem with the storage, just ignore/delete it. Never choose any option.

Mounting Apps with Link2SD is pretty fast, meaning I never need to wait for the Apps to be mounted like with native App2SD (deactivated on this ROM by the way).

How to boot into the TWRP recovery after ODIN flashing

I've decided to write this post after the suffering to boot into the TWRP recovery (twrp-3.1.0-1-klte.img.tar), that I flashed with Odin 3.12.3 on my Galaxy S5-G900T (T-mobile) with Marshmallow. Phone was unrooted. I unchecked Autoboot as guide recommended, the Odin shows the flashing was passed, 0 failed. I disconnected the battery to power off the device. However, after booting into recovery mode (Vol UP + Home + Power), the phone booted into the stock recovery and not into TWRP.

To make long story shot, the trick was after the flashing and phone disconnecting from the PC, DO NOT power off the phone. Instead use recovery mode combination Vol UP + Home + Power to boot into the recovery. Release buttons when use see blue text "booting into recovery". Then you'll get into the TWRP.

Now, when you in DO NOT check anything (read only mode), just swipe to get into the main menu. Also, TWRP will offer to install the TWRP app from TWRP. I denied that offer, because then may be a problems with the custom room flashing.

That all folks.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] godofsalt:
OK Folks.....

do have TWRP (believe its 3.1.1) On my G900P (former Virgin mobile, now forced to Boost) !

Now, 3.4.0.0 IS OUT !

Have not seen anything thing on this Thread about the new update!

From other Threads (Galaxy S 5 threads...) they talked about this updated Recovery! From what I have read is it for Android 10! (Yes I know its a bit buggie, some like it. I know LOS is working on 17.1 for the S5) Now that said, just wanted to see if anyone has updated there Recovery.

Now, from what I have read, We can install the Recovery (3.4.0.0 ) in the TWRP Recovery we already have. Yes can is Odin too. IF using the "img" File, Not the "Tar file" which is for Odin or heimdall .

Just trying to see if anyone has ran into any issues with the Latest update.

Thanks for reading....
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Hippie459MN:
I was not aware of a recent update but I will have to look in to it. If you give it a go, please report back.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] godofsalt:
Well I do have to say, 3.4.0.0 is really for Android 10.

Now, once Los 17.1 is official, then I will make an update in this.

3.3.0.1 is fine for Android 9 (Los16) that's what I have been running. Can say, if the the non-official is a bit more stable, I might jump on that.... Just waiting
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Gitanitos:
Hello, just for information I've updated my SM-G900FD (Galaxy S5 Duos) to LOS17.1 recently. When I tried to update the ROM through LOS updater, TWRP won't do it and recovery rest in home page only.

I tried with 3.3.1 and 3.4.0 with same result and finally changed to LOS recovery in order to have OTA updates without problems.

Anyway thanks for your hard and great work
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] lecorbusier:
Does LOS recovery allow backup and restore, or is it too basic for such things?

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] niggonet:
Hi, I have a S5 (SM-G900F) which is stuck in a bootloop.

The phone is from a family member and I'd like to recover his data (especially photos). But in TWRP, mounting /data isn't possible (the 0 mb issue).

Grabbing mmcblk0 to PC only results in an obviously encrypted image, at least the "userdata" partition looks clearly encrypted.

He said the device was running Android 6.0.1 and he used Secure Startup once but disabled it a while ago because of the longer startup time.

Apparently the partition is still encrypted but TWRP doesn't ask for a passcode. I know his passcode.

Is it possible to mount the FDE-encrypted partition manually in TWRP using the known passcode if TWRP doesn't ask for it at boot?

Huge thanks in advance,

Nico

The recovery was working on my phone but then I formatted system, rebooted, and official TWRP builds just don't get past the splash screen anymore. PhilZ Touch and the ancient 2.7 unofficial build work fine. I've tried 3.3.1 and 3.7.0 and they both don't get past the splash screen.

Edit 1: 2.8.7.0 official seems to be the last that works.

Edit 2: Flashing a modern ROM with 2.8.7.0 (I tried 4.4.4 with PhilZ and had no luck) got modern TWRP working again. Such a weird issue.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] tdunham:
Yes, almost exact same problem is being reported for our S5 variant as well. Thanks for reporting. Have you tried the v2.8.0.0 test version I posted a page or two back to see if it has the same issue?

Edit: I'm having trouble duplicating this issue on mine. But, when I first rebooted, ES File Explorer shows my new and renamed (for testing I renamed my original TWRP folder to TWRP.old) and they were both showing empty. Odd thing, I connected the phone to windows workstations, browsed and the files were there. Then I tried again with ES File Explorer app and they were there. I'm doing a wipe and restore now with 2.8.0.1 to do additional testing.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] tdunham:
As a troubleshooting setup, has anyone tried backing up their external SD, dismounting it from Settings/storage and formatting it right there on the phone?

Most folks just take the SD out of the package and insert it into their phone without re-formatting it. Additionally, formatting it right on the phone ensures that it gets formatted with the correct file format. Formatting an SD card on a PC is never recommended without the proper software and understanding of the file structure and formatting necessary for it to work on the phone correctly.

Edit: I would even go as far as powering down the phone and reinserting the SD as well. Mine jiggled loose once causing all sorts of issues until I reseated it.
