[RECOVERY] [4/5/16] TWRP 3.0.2-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project

TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.0.2-0 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Verizon)!

Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvWVS_Rkxo

Full TeamWin credits are on the TWRP page on the TeamWin website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Decryption of /data

Easy selection of internal/external storage

See changelog below for new features

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], I assume this is for 4.4 bootloader Developer Edition devices only?

And thanks for creating his.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alexp1289:
Yes thank you so much [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tremor1002:
Will this work for the Retail Version... Sorry for the newbie question.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alexp1289:
This is only for the developer edition note 3 - 4.4 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] abe_cedar:
4.4

how did u guys updated to 4.4 bootloader? I have a de and still on old 4.3 bootloader. we you able to get a bootloader from sammy?

TIA

Abe
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] alexp1289:
My DE came with the 4.4 bootloader. I rooted with towel root then backed up all my files. Then sent bigbiff a copy of my stock recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] abe_cedar:
4.4 bootloader

You must have just got it. I got mine a year ago.

I wonder if we could somehow update the bootloader to 4.4...

Any ideas?

tia
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Someone with 4.3 bootloader upload stock recovery please?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
I've not seen the file for the Developer Edition stock recovery anywhere. Pretty much everyone who bought the original batch of DE's flashed twrp TMO version as soon as they got home, then flashed SuperSU.

But thanks for thinking of us and asking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I was hoping someone might of extracted it with dd after rooting. I guess I can check out sammobile.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] stargzrr11:
Maybe I'm not fully understanding how this works, but since the T-Mobile TWRP works (except Cyanogen thinks it's a T-Mobile phone) couldn't we use the 4.3 T-mobile firmware and just tweak the build to say it's "hltevzw" instead of "hltetmo"?

Because of how Samsung did the first batch of Dev edition devices, our only hope of getting the real firmware file was if someone bought this phone last year and never took it or of the box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I guess we can do that. Do you have the 4.3 bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] stargzrr11:
I don't have the stock (Verizon) bootloader, no. Unfortunately I overwrite it with the T-Mobile TWRP shortly after I got the phone.

I believe this is the firmware the T-mobile one was based off of: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=19395 (N900TUVUBMI7)

This is the TWRP that is currently kinda working for us 4.3 Dev Edition users: http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.3.zip 2.8 one might work - I haven't tried it.

I'm trying to hunt down the 4.3 extracted stock bootloader... Since there is a build of TWRP for T-mobile already, I'm assuming it's out there somewhere. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] droidstyle:
I have a TWRP full back up image of 4.3 I took right after rooting/flasing recpvery. Will that help?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I would rather use the dtb from stock just from a purist point of view. Can you post it here?

EDIT:

These are using hltetmo kernel and dtb:

If you have 4.3 BL please test.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] stargzrr11:
Links seem broken. Could you please check them? I can test this today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] stargzrr11:
Okay links work now.

I installed it - so far so good. I've rebooted into recovery and system boots.

I'm going to run a backup, install CM, and try restoring from a backup, but it seems promising.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] goldeneagle1972:
Hi guys, was wondering if someone could make the edits that makes the settings menu background on 4.4.4 transparent, I've been using mostly clear apps that I could find and now the missing link is to have my settings menu background transparent. I would be really greatful and I'm quite sure a lot of others in the forum would be too if this could be done... Thanks in advance :)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] id.liam.elgoog:
if you are using cm you can use transparent theme
[Moto G Themes and Apps] goldeneagle1972:
I'm looking for a direct edit method to be done here, should've made that clear...
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Meuuks13:
It can be done by tweaking the SustemUi.apk but you need to say more clearly what is to be done. Pull the SystemUI.apk from adb and send it to me... Maybe I can do it... but don't raise your hopes high :)

Please post in Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
Update: People seem to be getting confused. You take the latest ota after step 2 then continue. When you are done there should be no OTA as you are on the latest firmware

Before I start this is how I rooted MY phone and a few friends as we all wanted to test out Verizon's new VoLTE only on Android 4.4.4. I Just fallowed other guides (Links below) To get this to root my phone and did not do any of this without XDA help.

If you wish to use VoLTE fallow the link here:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html

DO NOT DO OTA! To NHA IF ROOTES OR EVER ROOTED

The ota update should fail, if it does not you might get stuck on a bootloop and need to reset your phone. this happened to me and someone else I was helping.

Files To Download:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472866 (Unzip NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567722142 (G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472389 (G900VVRU1ANHA_G900VVZW1ANHA_VZW.zip)

www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358547889 (Odin)

Steps.

Pre: Install Towel Root prior https://towelroot.com/ if you have not already.

(Step 1 is Only If your not already on NHA or made changes beyond rooting to your device)

1. Update To 4.4.4 using G900VVRU1ANHA_G900VVZW1ANHA_VZW.zip, Extract the files and select it in AP under Odin. Turn off your device and hold DOWN VOLUME + HOME + POWER to get into Download Mode, you phone should show up in Odin if it does not, then manually download the drivers from Here

2. Once your phone shows up on Odin press "Start" and wait a few minutes.

2.5 NEW STEP: Take OTA to NI2.

3. Once your phones starts put it back into download mode, and select G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 under PA and Click start and wait a few minutes.

4. Once your phone restarts you may notice some apps will start to fail and force close, this is why I had you install Towel Root prior so we can get in and get out, Press Ok or Force Close continuously if necessary until you get Towel Root open and "Make it rain". Then turn off the phone and go back into Download Mode.

5. Now flash NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 and let the phone restart

6. Everything should be good! (: Enjoy and message for help.

I am not responsible for what happens!! Well unless you get it working 100% and are happy. But There is a risk

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] joshua.justice:
Anyone try this yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] boothroyd917:
Does this include the little incremental update that came out yesterday? I followed the steps outlined here http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/vzw-ota-4-4-4-pushed-t2872220/post55347753 and am now rooted on 4.4.4 (NHA). What about yesterday's update (NI2)?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
Yes I just updated the files, Enjoy
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whtciv2k:
does using ODIN to load the new updates just break root or does it wipe the phone as well?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
Just breaks root. Although always make backups just in case something goes wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whtciv2k:
it's hanging at the VZ logo when booting after trying odin to NHA. I guess I'll just odin back to stock and start the process
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] scadilla:
Are these instructions good for people on Safestrap and people who are just on rooted stock (no safestrap)?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
This happened to me. I did a reset from volm up and power it fixed it without actually wiping my phone.Try flashing the older kernel and update me
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
I was using safe strap but I had to Uninstall it after the update then reinstall.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whtciv2k:
I ODIN'd back and fourth a few times and it finally booted to NHA. I'm taking the NI2 update now. w00t!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
Awesome NHA has alot of problems for me. SDcard update failing etc
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GoldenArcher96:
I used Towelroot to root my GS5 back in April. I haven't done any updates (as far as I can remember), still running 4.4.2 with firmware NCG. I've also installed several Xposed mods.

Would this method still work for me to upgrade to the newest OTA and keep root, without wiping my data?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] slvrbul:
I had no problems, I used Odin to flash NHA, then took update, Odin to NCG Kernel Root Superuser, back to NI2 Kernel and was all fine !!!

Chief !!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
I just bought my s5 from s4, came with NCG I keep it that way for a week (rooted) before upgrading, I upgraded because I wanted VoLTE so yes (:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skullvet:
Worked great. Have root on NI2 and didn't have to wipe phone. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] descriminator:
Phone got wiped :( first time i entered download mode. strange.

Either case, did the steps, looked good, then OTA notifier came in about NI2, took that and now no root :( Shouldn't have?

Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AZK520:
Did you use the download I provided? We're you already on 4.4.4 maybe.

Also now do steps after 2 again and let me know the outcome make sure to redownlaod files (the kernels) in order to make sure nothing broke
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] descriminator:
gonna try to downgrade,re-root, upgrade again then. Will post results.

Thanks!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whtciv2k:
I just kept trying and got it. I think the hotspot patch is no good. has anyone had any success? I get stuck at the red VZ logo on boot after I installed that.

Sm-g7105 root

Hi guys. I know That this thread is not about Samsung Galaxy Grand 2, but i'm curious if the method would work with firmware for my phone. I haven't seen working method to root sm-g7105 without breaking knox (even with breaking i'm not sure if it exists).

I'm kinda newbie in terms of smartphones, so any help will be much appreciated. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dfoote626:
Gm gents

It does not the root gods want me rooted. I am still getting the same health services issue after following all steps. Not sure what else to do...thanks all the help anyway...love this forum...

After a little further reading at the following address

http://www.andromods.com/fix-troubleshoot/fix-xposed-framework-shealth-problem-galaxy-s5.html

I scolled down and found that you have to clear both Shealth and Health services. No all is working.

Much respect for all the hekp.

what should i use

GS5 rooted with towel root, SuperSu as per steps. I have the busybox installer on my phone but didnt use it yet. Should I use Clockworks, Safe Strap or something else to install custom rom? thanks guys for help Im coming from IOS im a new at this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] warpedmind0u812:
Safestrap is the only one we can use because of the locked bootloader.

Read this guide and follow the instructions.

If the device is already on the NI2 OTA, can the steps be started with #3? Trying to help out a friend.

---Nevermind, missed post #175....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
Anyone else getting boot loops when connecting to wifi? I followed the update instructions to a tee, everything appeared to work fine. I had to reinstall Google Play Services and disable an xposed module due to constant force closes. Don't think that has to do with anything though. But whenever I connect to a WIFI network, it soft reboots, doesn't even go through Safestrap. The phone is pretty hot too; 95F. Any clues?

Lost LTE after root

I used this guide to root and now I've lost my LTE. My phone connects to 3G just fine. I unrooted and flashed back to stock NI2 using the stock file from this collection: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069

I can't figure out what's wrong. It doesn't make sense that going back to stock doesn't fix it. :eek:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dfoote626:
11tmaste

The last time something like that happened to me was on my S4 and I need to replace my Sim card. I went down. To VZW spot and told them I need a new Sim card because my 4G would no t turn on. The replced it with Bo problems.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 11tmaste:
Yeah, i took it down today and they replaced my sim and it still did it, but worked after a factory reset with the new sim. Kinda scared to reroot it now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
OK I'm having huge problems here after upgrading. Like I said everything went well with the install, so I thought. However 3 big problems:

1) When Wifi connects to a network, I get a reboot and boot loops until I disable wifi

2) Bluetooth will sync, but on demand only. My Fitbit widget for example will not sync periodically like it used to on NCG. But if I open the app and sync manually it works

3) Google apps don't appear to sync automatically either. I'm not getting new gmail messages or notifications.

I don't know if this can be fixed, or I need to factory reset. I made a backup in Safestrap immediately before upgrading, should I just restore that backup? Will it return me to the NCG kernel?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 11tmaste:
Did you flash NHA to begin with?

yes just restore the backup
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
I flashed NHA to begin, yes. Then followed the instructions to finish. Why do we flash the NCG again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] clambert11:
Worked great for me. My wife was getting annoyed by the failed updates. She was on NE9. Now she's rockin' NI2. Thanks for the directions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Half Decaf:
Would it work to ODIN NI2 firmware instead of taking the OTA? I forgot that I froze OTA service and upgraded to NHA. I would prefer to just proceed with NI2 instead of downgrading...

Edit: Yep, that worked fine. I used the firmware found here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Z3R0H0UR:
Worked Great

I followed everything and it worked perfect.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
Weird, now WiFi seems to work fine. Still have the Bluetooth sync issue, but at least 1 problem is solved.

Does anyone know why wet flash NCG again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jcbofkc:
Thank you for the guide. This is a great forum.

One issue. Sound quality suffered with VoLTE enabled, so I turned it off. I saw some other similar comments. Is there a solid solution?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1454:
Anyone else had issues with it becoming lagging and crashing after a while since the update? If it's just me I'll factory reset and try again. Just ever since u went to the above it gets laggy over a period of time and eventually crashes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cr6:
Hey guys, if I do a factory reset while rooted, I won't loose root will I? I know I saw it mentioned somewhere that it would be ok, but I can't find it now.

Thanks guys!

S5 tap'n
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] warpedmind0u812:
No, you won't lose root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cr6:
Thanks for the quick response! Sorry for the newb question, I was just wondering because I've seen conflicting information all over the web. Being that an FDR wipes all your apps, I figured you'd at least lose SuperSU. Would I simply have to redownload that one or do I not lose my apps at all when doing an FDR.

Thanks again

S5 tap'n
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] warpedmind0u812:
You do lose apps and data. So what I do is keep supersu on my sd so i can install it when the phone boots up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cr6:
Thanks warped. So to confirm, I won't lose Towelroot?

S5 tap'n
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] warpedmind0u812:
You're welcome. As long as you're just doing a FDR, you will not lose root. But just incase something does go wrong backup in TiBu or SS first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
That didn't work. I restored the backup and it still has the NI2 baseband. Am I supposed to flash the NCG kernel before doing restore?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 11tmaste:
I would recommend flashing a full stock rom then folowing the op directions exactly. You can find the rom on this site.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
that's not a solution to the problem. I installed NI2 and had some issues so I wanted to revert back to NCG. I SHOULD be able to just restore the Safestrap backup, but it's still NI2. What you're suggesting would keep me on NI2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 11tmaste:
Im assuming you want root? This link has a collection of full stock roms for NHA,NCG,NE9, and NI2. If you want all NCG then flash tthat specific rom.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069

Then assuming you want root you should be able to achieve it by following the op directions. I had trouble my first try and flashed a stock rom and followed the post instructions and it worked the 2nd time. Please be aware that flashing a stock rom with wipe all of your data, so backup anything you dont want to lose.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
Hmm that would probably work. While my baseband is NI2, my build number is NCG. Not sure which of those I'm referring to honestly, but it appears to be acting like NCG (I can use the No Wake on Charge app...) So not sure if I fixed anything here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 11tmaste:
Yeah those stock roms change everything: the baseband, firmware, build number, kernel. So if you flash the NCG rom you'll have the NCG eqivalent of all of them. You can flash the individual items but some of them are incompatible with each other. So if you flash that NCG rom you'll have a complete NCG software. Im guessing your problems are stemming from having a different baseband than your build number. This should fix it. You should have no problem achieving root then.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LinxuSx:
I followed the directions and it worked great. The only issue I had was not unfreezing SDM before getting started. You may want to put that in your notes since you don't have root when you first upgrade to NHA and can't unfreeze it until you flash the NI2 kernel and reroot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
No I already had root on NCG so that's not the problem. Honestly, I have a bluetooth that doesn't want to auto sync with my phone which is why I wanted to revert back to NCG in the first place. I'd rather just get it working on NI2, but I don't think that will happen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hturbulence:
Edit: I found the files. Thanks!

However, I still don't understand why the phone didn't automatically prompt to push the OTA, and why it said the version was current when it checked.

How can I initiate the NI2 OTA update, or does anyone have the downloadable OTA files? My phone is not asking me to take the NI2 update. I was on the version before NHA, rooted with towelroot, and I removed the OTA apk to avoid dealing with the popups. So I figured I could upgrade by doing step 1, which flashed the stock NHA. My phone took it and booted fine. The OTA apk is there as I'm back to a stock ROM, but the phone isn't asking me to take the update. Even when I go to options -> check for updates, it says I'm up to date.

Any help is appreciated!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
I had to get my phone reflashed through Samsung at bestbuy I was on rooted NCG and now I'm on Ni2. Can I still root? I'm not sure exactly what they did but everything was wiped as expected.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Follow the directions here under How to Root NI2... and use the files I have posted there and you will be fine. I've done this a bunch of times on my device woth zero problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
Ok thanks. Do I need to use safestrap to flash supersu or can I just install it in apk format?
