Hi again,

Did some tests:

With an external sd formatted in exfat.

2.8.1.0 sees this external sd. Nothing looks abnormal. Backup is made and shown in TWRP fileman. When user boots and goes to TWRP folder on external sd in a fileman: no backup. it gets lost somewhere

2.7.1.0 made by Sub77 (haven't test the Tgalal build) backup to external sd works fine and doesn't get lost.

This is thesame behaviour that is mentioned on other device-specific threads. So...if, i say 'if' :), Sub77 has the time and likes to make a build of 2.7.1.0 but with the fixes he implemented in 2.8.1.0 we would have a good working recovery until TeamWin comes with a fix for TWRP8.

As we all know not only Philz has abandoned his recovery but also CWM itself is dead.

Well... made a build once:

a backup with TWRP 2.7.1.0 Sub77 build takes 489 seconds. Small difference with the 30 mins in Philz :)

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
As long as you're rooted, you can use an app called flashify to install .img recovery files. Obviously just make sure the img file is saved somewhere on your tablet easy to find.

Edit: This isn't a frequent issue, but I've heard of it happening before. Sometimes (not always or even often) after using Flashify to install a custom recovery, your tablet will hang trying to boot into recovery (I'm talking about being stuck on the bootup screen for longer than at least a minute or two). If this should happen to you (and again, there's a very good chance it won't) don't panic, merely hold the power button until the device shuts down. Then boot the system normally, then shut down, and try booting into recovery, everything should be fine

Hi guys,

the link to twrp2840-190114_matisselte.tar is not working. Can't find it either on the server. Any chance anyone can provide me with the file?

or [MENTION=3132221]sub77[/MENTION] can you help me out and tell me what happened to the file?

Thanks a lot

Edit:

I found another repository: http://d-h.st/users/sub77

It all seems very chaotic ;)

But TY for your work!

Edit2:

This recovery is from january - I guess its an old version. Anyway the screen doesn't work its impossible to see anything
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Have you tried the 2.8.5.0 version?

And when you tried the January build and got a blank screen, did you try rebooting system, powering down and retrying booting into recovery? Have you tried using flashify to install the img file?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] 41.kretschi:
I haven't tried that yet. But is there any chance I can get twrp2840_matisselte_pac5v2.img from somebody?

Is this project still beeing developed?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yes here you want the one called twrp2840-190114_matisselte.img use flashify from the Play Store to install it
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] amyren:
I agree it can be a bit confusing. I hope the OP will update the first post a bit so it could be more clear. Now there are different links in the first post both to 2.8.5.0 and the previous one 2.8.4.0. And not all the links work either.

There is a tool named Caboomi's recovery img2tar, that converts the recovery.img file to a recovery.tar.md5 file, and then Odin will flash it.

I found the tool here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281287

But when trying the tool at first it returns an error message and the md5 file is not made properly. But if you get that error, look at the QA for that topic, there is a solution- You just need to edit the runme.bat file to get it working.

I will attach the converted 2.8.5.0 file here.

My own howto for flashing it on my SM-T530 :

1. Install the Samsung USB drivers (google it to find download links)

2. Download Odin3 (I did use v1.85) (google it for a download link if you dont have it)

3. Get the recovery.tar.md5 from attachent (or elsewhere)

4. Enter Download mode on your device by pressing: Volume down / Home / Power buttons at the same time. A warning will show. Release the buttons and press volume up once. The device should now be in download mode.

5. Start Odin, and connect your tab via the USB cable. Odin should indicate a yellow square.

6. Use the PDA button to locate the recovery.tar.md5 file and press start.

7. Hopefully now it will succed and the yellow will turn into green. After this your device should be rebooted. Let it start up again and just turn if off again.

8. To go into recovery mode: Press and hold Volume UP / Home and Power buttons.

Good luck. (instructions made from memory, hope they are accurate)

edit: just a tip in case you are using Odin3 v3.07 or newer. The PDA button does not exist in anymore. Instead the button is now labeled AP.

Dear [MENTION=3132221]sub77[/MENTION] .

Was discovered a problem. After installing my ROMs (Stockless&CustomRom) using TWRP 2850 refuses to run Titanium Backup. He does not see Root, although all other applications work fine.

On TWRP 2840 does not. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Droidphilev:
i had this error on my phone but with 2840.

what you can do:

instead of restoring all. restore only data en flash all that is needed to system
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] repey6:
Sorry , i dont understood . Why do I need to restore something and when? Before installation ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Droidphilev:
hmmm,

I had this error (no Tibu anymore, no root) after restoring a backup. you have it after a new flash?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sub77:
Root enabled in dev. Options or flashed supersu?

i cant restorecon on recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Sub77,

Keep in mind that i had this on my phone, not (yet) on tablet.

- i take a backup of a good working rom

- restore full backup and reboot

- titanium backup is gone and supersu says it cannot find binaries and that binaries cannot be installed.

to fix this i restored data only and flashed rom instead of restore.

I had this problem with 2840
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
For what it's worth I just restored Pac Rom 4.4.4 (everything except cache) in twrp, coming from rooted stock (not a stock-based ROM actual stock) and I'm not having any superuser issues. I think the root issue is with the stock based Roms, because that's when I couldn't get root either

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] repey6:
Nonsense! SuperSU problem only in your head and hands.

A problem encountered when restoring a firmware anyway, this problem only recovery rather than firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Sorry should've figured I was doing something wrong. But I was installing your custom rom from recovery. And I hope that didn't come off as a knock on your rom. I should've been clearer, it's a moot point for me anyway since I'm on cm, don't have any need for stock.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] amyren:
I had this root problem as mentioned above.

The problem arises when installing a custom rom from zip file in TWRP 2.8.5.0.

Even if the device was rooted earlier on stock rom (or not, Ive tried both) and the custom rom is rooted, the result ends up with a rom without working root.

Also this is not only the case with the stockless and custom 4.4.2 based roms. I also did try the 4.4.4 rom and the 5.0.2 rom, and I could not get root to work there either when installing with twrp 2.8.5.0.

After numerous of failed attempts, I was given a tip from repey6 to try a different version of twrp. And I did.

Once I installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 I installed the stockless rom again, and root worked at once. I havent tested 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 with 2.8.1.0 yet, but I guess they will work as well.

To me it looks like there is a bug in TWRP 2.8.5.0 that messes up installing roms from zip file. But backup and restore works good in this recovery.

So until this is sorted I think the best way is to first flash twrp 2.8.1.0 (maybe any other version lower 2.8.5.0 will do) if I want to install a new rom. After the new rom is installed, then flash twrp 2.8.5.0 for backup/restore usage.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Droidphilev:
It's certainly not a bug of TWRP 2850 itself. I have this version on 2 other devices and they both flash perfectly. I had the problem on 1 device too but it was with TWRP 2840.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] repey6:
Just finished checking your patch. At first everything done as yesterday. Set stock firmware via Odin. Got Root . Set TWRP2850 . Set StocklessROM via TWRP2850. The problem with TB there. (FC). Returned to recovery and install this patch. Got stop start. What is this a games?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sub77:
dont know. will upload fixed cm12 and new recovery soon.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] amyren:
Thanks.

I just did a test with the recovery from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59448981&postcount=2

I asume this is the new recovery you are refering to. It is labeled version 2.8.5 (thought it should be 2.8.5.1 or something :)

Now I tested it with both the Lollipop pac rom beta 1, and the Stockless rom.

It seem to work fine with both those roms, and no root issues in the stockless rom when installed from this twrp.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Droidphilev:
I see. The version i have sometimes indeed doesn't boot but not always. Time is correct it seems. Still i have these issues:

-wipe still is slow, specially cache.

-when switching from CM12 to stock (cm12 > wipe > restore backup of stock): i need to reboot twice. after first reboot all apps are gone. second reboot fixes this but SuperSU "forgot" all apps that have access.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Download the .img file to your tablet, install the flashify app from the play store, run flashify and direct it to the img file you downloaded. Just know that sometimes people have trouble booting into recovery the first time. If that should happen, just reboot normally into android and then try it again, it should be fine.

and also can i flash this in stock recovery or should i use an app like flash gordan?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
No that's the wrong model number. Download the one labelled t330nu, download the zip and extract recovery.img somewhere easy to remember on your phone. Then install the flashify app from the play store, run it, point it to that recovery.img and flash. You might have trouble booting to recovery on the first attempt, simply reboot normally, then try again, should be fine from there on out.

Or you can download the t330nu .tar file and flash with Odin 3.07 or 3.09

You cannot install this in stock recovery
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] mrdreamers:
this one?

sm-t330nu-Philz-6_58_9-recovery-final.zip

and also you said i have to extract the recovery.img from the zip then flash with flashify app or flash the hole zip?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yes that's the right file

With flashify flash the img file, so you have to extract it from the zip first

Current version do not work with the SM-T535. After flashing and rebooting the device I get only a white line on the screen.

I will go back to 2.8.4 which is working properly.

Just to clarify, you tried installing the one for SMT5XX, not SMT530, correct? And did you try installing the .tar file with Odin or the .img file with flashify?

Unable to install ANY recovery

Folks, I've done my best to research this problem here and on other sites and forums. I hope someone can assist.

Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab either 4 or 10.1, I can't tell the difference? The device name is SM-T535, Baseband version T535XXU1ANK1.

It is a wi-fi AND 4G-LTE tablet, T-Mobile SIM installed.

Thee tablet is rooted. SuperSU Pro is installed, as well as BusyBox.

ALL I am looking for is a Recovery tool for reliable backup/restore.

I've tried using the TWRP Manager app to install TWRP recovery, and the Flashify app to install CWM touch recovery.

Every single time the flashing succeeds, I reboot, and end up in Odin mode, cant boot up. Re-flashing the root zip with Odin solves that problem, but still no reliable recovery.

TWRP manager does a nice live-backup. But restoring from it still requires rebooting into recovery, which I still can't do. So those backups are not useful.

Can anyone point me to a link where I can get a stable, reliable touch recovery for this tablet, either TWRP (first preference) or CWM? By the way, the .de site referenced in earlier posts is still down.

Thanks in advance, and cheers.
