Hi guys,

I cannot get my Verizon GS4 to boot in to twrp recovery. I've tried both twrp coordinator (stuck at "processing data from server") and twrp manager. in twrp manager i've tried installing twrp using normal install and install from img file. both appeared to download and install properly, but when I boot into recovery mode (either through twrp manager or through the normal samsung method) I get stuck in download mode instead with a "could not do normal boot" message. I end up needing to re-flash the stock kernel to get unstuck. Also, I couldn't find a tar file for jftlevzw to flash via Odin.

Any suggestions?

How to view encrypted drives?

I'm running TWRP 2.8.3.0 and CM11, and have encrypted my phone. Ever since thenwhen I boot into recovery none of my drives will mount. Is there any way to decrypt my drives on TWRP?

installing 2.8.4.0 to jfltexx

Hi Everyone,

I would like to install the newest twrp to my i9505.

Android version XXUGNG8 4.4.2, samsung stock one.

I have root, and installed twrp app from play.

All set, do i need something other to flash it or simply just hit INSTALL RECOVERY?

Theres a warning message after i hit it about /dev/block/mmcblk0p21. Whats this?

Thx!

Edit: googled it! mmcblk0p21 is right place to choose.

The only thing is i get the message with the unwritable sd. When i press yes, nothing happens. All the time i start the app the message appears.

Edit 2: Nobody using this one i guess. Gonna install cwm instead.

Hey guys,

I wanted to have my phoned backups stored on my computer as well.

In attempt to do so I have just copied the TWRP folder to the computer, however, when I copy the folder back to the phone it won't list as a restorable backup on TWRP.

Anyone could advise how to have then backups on a computer so that I could in the future just easily copy paste and restore?

Thanks!

official 2.8.6.0

the official twrp website now lists a 2.8.6.0 img file in their download section, after downloading, flashing and booting into recovery it shows version 2.8.5.0 ... strange

Wrong version number in image?

Hi. Thank you for this glorious recovery :)

However - I'm on i9505 jfltexx - downloaded twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.img (was on 2.8.4), flashed, now version is 2.8.5 - Did you forget to update version number?

Hi! My friend has an S4 i9505 with TWRP recovery v2.6.1, and wants to flash a lollipop rom but its required to have the v2.8.6 which has f2fs support. Is it okay to flash the newest version via ODIN? Thank you.

galaxy s4 albe s6 porting problem

followed step by step guide: I had lollipop official samsung rom; I rooted with auto root; installed TWRP recovery; wiped data, dalvik and cache; flashed the custom rom (version 2.0). Now it is locked in the Samsung logo since 15 minutes ago. I dont think it is ok. Please help me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You don't specify which custom ROM you installed, but if it's an Android 5.x ROM, the initial boot after an install can take upwards of a half hour to accomplish due to ART having to compile all apps.

Install the version at the TWRP website in place of the AntaresOne F2FS-modified version and see if that changes anything.

Your phone's storage seems to be corrupt. Flash a stock ROM through Odin, then flash TWRP through Odin. That should fix things.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandoth:
Fixed with Flashify back to v2.8.7.0. Will go from there. Original question below

Oops. I did something wrong. At the suggestion of some forum members on another thread I attempted to update to 3.0.2-0 Coming from '[JDCTeam][Recovery]TWRP Touch Recovery 3.0.0-0 with F2FS Support', I followed the instructions on the twrp.me site for the S4 VZW I545:

Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.

I dowloaded twrp-3.0.2-0-jfltevzw.img, confirmed the MD5 first and then did the flash per the above. Once I did this and rebooted to recovery, I got ! System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless...

I am on MDK bootloader. I thought the image was Loki'd already? I'm not sure how to fix? It said that the image isn't flashable via Odin, so where do I start, TWRP Manager? It looks like after a few tries it's booting to Android so I'm going to try that. Where did I go wrong?

TWRP Manager install fails. Rebooting and trying again..."Something went wrong. Flashing recovery was unsuccessful. Either you already have this recovery or another error has occurred..." Hmm...I don't see an error log or anything. Note that under "Recovery installed" it says "TWRP TWRP". Stumped. Tried the dd method. It provided no errors, but upon reboot to recovery, I get the same ! message.

I suspect I need to Odin back to stock... :(

I don't have any over clocking software installed. It only happens after charging the phone and when i go to open my messages.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Do you let the phone asleep by itself or do you manually turn off before and aftwr charging?

If you let it go to sleep by itself there is a high chance of a hang.

Have you done the standard anti hang tricks eg ref stopping active sync??

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lameduck:
I let the phone sleep by itself.

I have not done these anti hang tricks. Please could you direct me to the instructions for how to do them.

Many Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well first, not so much a trick just something to do!

Don't let it go to sleep by itself when connected either to PC or charger. Switch off manually.

As for other anti-hang techniques - this page has a few of them:

I tried Dirty Unicorns yesterday, excellent rom, but returned to Carbon.

Only small issue found in both roms is:

Sometimes in middle of a call cannot turn on screen (double tap or power button). It is hard to reproduce this problem because most the time works ok, that issue seems to be random, maybe is not about rom but I am not using any program to underclock or similar thing, any suggestion?

I apologize for my bad English, my natal language is Spanish.

Update: I wiped Dalvik and Cache, then tried several times to reproduce that issue, everything seems ok right now, must wait some days to be sure.

The chrome thing was just covered several posts back, maybe a page or two.
[T-Mobile LG G3] androholic:
This^^ is just about exactly how I was feeling until I revisited the forums yesterday morning and flashed Carbon! I'm a Tmo customer of 12+ years and with 5 phone lines, 2 data lines and the JUMP program, I go though at least a few phones a year. I've come to a point where dropping my daily driver for "the next big thing" isn't as enticing as it was a couple of years ago, but the G3 was lacking so much in its performance that I was ready to leave quick! The size and form factor is perfect for me, the build materials fell premium, the camera is top notch in the Android world, and it has powerful enough hardware that it "should" power through my typical usage for quite some time. All of that rang true with the exception of the performance. Constant frame stuttering and frequent lagging while opening apps began to drive me crazy! I've always been up on the cutting edge of Android devices so I have the high standards that most of us on XDA do and while this hasn't bothered my Wife who also picked one up at launch, I was just about over waiting on an update to fix it! I was looking at the Z3 as a possible replacement and had pretty much come to terms with the idea that I was going to have to pay some extra cash out of pocket to get out of the G3. Carbon Rom has changed that for me! NOW the G3 is the perfect daily driver I was looking for! The camera even took less of dive than I've typically seen when using an AOSP rom, and it's actually still pretty amazing after taking about two dozen test shots yesterday. The network performance seems to be stable so far, and I can find anything that's broken. It's phenomenal how quickly development took off after sitting idle for so long! I'm sorry for the long post, but if somebody who's feeling how I was about this phone visits this thread I want them to hear my experience and give the G3 one more go with Carbon before they ditch it and look somewhere else!
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Was this maybe in another thread? I couldn't find it here. I found it doesn't happen with regular Chrome, but happens with Chrome Beta for me.

Absolutely love love love this Rom. Definitely my favorite and will probably mane it my daily. Thank you for your hard work.
