Twrp 2.8.7.2 error=255

thx for the reply

i tested it with a new 16 GB microsd from sandisk and i got no issues.

perhaps the 32GB are second hand and now something for the microwave
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] roselanguste:
Hey Guys! I use the twrp from here (ashyx) since Version 2.8.7.1, and now 2.8.7.2, and all good! But now I have seen, that I have still the SuperUser-Binary2.46, and not the New 2.49? I have Pro-Version of Chainfire-SuperUser, and i have think that the app offers me an SU-Binary-Update when a new Version is there! Or must i make this SU-Binary-Update Manual? Can Anyone here say me, what to do, to update my SU-Binary to the latest Version?! Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S (LTE)! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
Why are you asking for a supersu update in a recovery thread?!?

You should go to chainfire`s thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 You will find the download links there. Btw., 2.46 is the last stabile and 2.52 last Beta.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] roselanguste:
This is not my first post in this Thread, and the reason why i asked this here was, that this is my first experience with TWRP, and in the first post ashyx writes, that in his latest TWRP-Update (Version-2.8.7.2) the SU-Binary is update to version 2.49! And now i have thinked, that maybe was going wrong as i flashed the latest TWRP (2.8.7.2) on my Device, and the SU-Binary is still 2.46, and not 2.49! But You have gave me the right Infos in Your answer, that i need to know! Thank You! And You are right, next time i look first in the SU-Thread of Chainfire-SuperUser! (Please forgive my not so good English!) Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
Don't worry about your English, I think we both are doing it very good, for not native speakers ;)

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
TWRP installs supersu 2.49 ONLY if you don't already have root.

If you are already rooted you will NOT get updated.

Hi, is it possible to get cf-autoroot with TWRP 2.8.7.2 included ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] rookie12:
[MENTION=2292746]OSIRIS2010[/MENTION] why? You flash this via Odin and done them you can root via TWRP
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
It's possible but a lot of work for me and little work for you. Either cf_autoroot then flash twrp or flash twrp then root with twrp.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] roselanguste:
Hey Guys! Sorry for this delayed answering! Thanks to Meduza2 and ashyx, for give me the right Information, about SU-Binary-Version in TWRP! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] physwizz:
Can I flash this with flashify?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
If you extract the recovery.img
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
If you have extracted recovery.img on your device, enable terminal in dev-settings, open terminal, type "su -" to get root previlegs. Then you type:

/system/xbin/dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RECOVERY

Perhaps not every rom has dd in the same place. cm-12.1 comes with busybox preinstalled, and it lives in /system/xbin.

Advantage: no other tools required - I do not trust root enabled apps with ads - YMMV.

Works this way for me on chagall, manta, bacon and formerly on i9300.

Happy dding!

You can't install the official xposed with anything!

It doesn't work on TouchWiz. Its been posted a million times.

I'm having trouble getting this flashed to my dad's SM-T800. I'm flashing using Odin 3.10.6, using the AP button and twrp-2.8.7.2-f2fs-t800.tar. Odin log says

/edit: got it to work by getting Odin's greyed out 'auto reboot' option clickable after selecting a stock Samsung firmware package. So, deselected that option, tThen I chose TWRP again @ the AP button, flashed, powered down manually and then I could enter TWRP from there.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
...are you flashing this after flashing any other software? If so, disable auto reboot in odin and press power + vol. up immediately before you see the Samsung logo after you performed the manual reboot in Odin....

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Of course it does, it will fail if you try to flash the wrong one for your device. I. E. the wrong sdk version will give the updater binary error.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Tilagoon:
Hi,

According to OP : FLASH WITH ODIN OR FLASHFIRE I have tried to flash your TWRP recovery on my stock ROM but got the following message when the file was scanned :

"MD5 hashes were found in the archive but they didn't match the contents" :confused:

I have also tried to flash the official 2.8.7.0 and got the same message !

Finally have flashed yours with Odin.

Looks like TWRP is not flashable with Flashfire.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] williamvito:
does anyone know if the 805/807 TWRP will work with the 807p Snapdragon model? thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Erm no, but the the t807p version will. :what:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] reaverclan:
Just wanted to clarify before doing anything. I have a t800 at stock everything, my understanding is our boot loaders are unlocked and we can just grab your file and flash it in odin without doing the other root method first correct? Then just put any rom we want on the ext sdcard and flash it through twrp? Also is odin 307 good enough for this? EDIT: nvm I got it to work and got root with supersu beta. Thanks for time to make this all work.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] williamvito:
Just an FYI, it was NOT compatible with the Sprint T807P, had to revert back to an unofficial 2.8.5.0 TWRP build.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Of course it's not compatible, that's why I pointed you to my T807p build! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] williamvito:
No need for the condescension, you didn't "point out" anything in your previous posts besides attempting to correct me on the exact model number, your signature has links which I only noticed after the fact now no thanks to your previous comments, next time if you want to help people don't make it seem like they're annoying you or just don't help people.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Are you for real?

Firstly of all I simply pointed out that it wouldn't work and to use my T807p build, to which you completely ignored anyway.

Then you bounce back with another post stating it did NOT work. :confused:

After which you drop another post having a go at me because seemingly you are unable of using a search button and expect to be spoon fed .

If I'm most unhelpful as you state then why don't you simply remove twrp from your device and have done with it? You wouldn't even have that if I hadn't built it for your device.

Maybe next time I won't bother spending my time building stuff for devices I don't even own if that's the kind of gratitude and attitude to expect.

Your attitude is one of the biggest reasons why devs give up on XDA. :thumbdown:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] reaverclan:
Dude, he said to use the build that is on the first post of THIS thread. So don't get mad at them for assuming you read their thread before posting. :rolleyes:

I always thought it's better to press the Thanx-button, than wasting bandwith and time on informationless "thank you"-postings. But now it's time:

[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]: Thank you very much for your efforts! I'm developing cm-12.1 for chagallwifi (SM-T800). Your twrp build is the only (comfortable) way of formatting partitions to f2fs. A couple of weeks ago I changed my recommendation in my OP to your twrp build. It is the most usefull custom recovery for chagallwifi. For completness: I'm using version 2.8.7.2.

[MENTION=4405529]nvertigo67[/MENTION]

Much appreciated, likewise your work has and continues to be invaluable here and the other devices you are involved with.

I have referred to your sources several times when compiling stuff.

It's good to have you on board at xda. :thumbup:

As a side note could I have your input on an issue I'm having with compiling a kernel for the Tab A as it's got me stumped?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Yes of course. But where and what? Just checked my pm's (get spamed a bit lately), but found nothing...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Not sent pm. Will pop one through now.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
TWRP is the best invention since sliced bread. Flashing with command lines is not my trick... TWRP is easy, can do backup, simply the first thing to install when you come to XDA... Then you start playing...

Hello, I have a T705 with Android 5.0.2 build LRX22G.T705XXU1BOJ8 never rooted or flashed.

Can someone please tell me how can I flash this recovery?

What's the differences between this and this one: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100?

It's all in OP:

Flash with odin. (first entry when ggogeling "flash twrp odin tab s", is: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabs84.html)

The additions over official twrp are in OP sorted by date.

[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION], As most would think, your efforts are much appreciated.. As for your comments about wht Devs give up.. You are 100% on target..

I had to walk away from my project a few times on the LG G3 Threads.. People just have no idea how much devs go though... And that fact

we do it for free.. Sometimes a breather is whats needed when the tension becomes to much...

Great work man....
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] rizzotti91:
My device is the LTE model, no problem to use this repository for the WiFi model?

https://dl.twrp.me/klimtwifi/
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
My answer relates to your question, how to flash twrp. Not what to flash. The answer to "what" is clearly: use [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] twrp 2.8.7.2 for your device.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Honestly sometimes the frustration gets the better of me, my biggest bug bear is the total disregard for the search button and basic xda rules and having to repeat the same thing over and over.

It can get me a little snappy on occasion.

I'll help anybody out if I can as long as they help themselves first.

My patience holds out for the most part. It happens to the best of us even stellar devs like Chainfire get stressed by it somewhat.

You guys put loads of effort into your projects and it takes one to know one.

Thing is people who've never been down the dev road dont realise we've had to learn this stuff by research, searching, trial n error, help from other devs, spending hours and hours building, failing, crying, nearly giving up and finally succeeding all to bring to the masses for free.

All it takes is a little appreciation to keep motivated not aggro, that little thanks button means a lot lol :rolleyes:

Keep up the good work fellas you're doing a smashing job.

If I buy a T700 store demo in demo mode, will I be able to flash stock image?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
You will need to flash the stock firmware and factory reset in twrp
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
You are right, my friend! If possible, I would press Thanks 10 times!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
I'm just before crying, so I need some help (in deed: no big deal or show-stopper, but would be just nice if it would work - so take your time):

When I let cmupdater update from nightlies (1210 to 1211), everything works flawlessly. But since then updating via cmupdater fails in twrp (saying zip file corrupted). The zip file is fine, and installs manually. When googling this, I only found some explenation, that twrp would not understand the the options it was called with, but no reason/solution for this.

The attached logfile is from the autoupdate attempt - the successfull manual flash is not part of it. Thanx in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
I will have a look, but it would probably be best if I could look at the updater zip if it's not too big. There must be an issue with the auto update script if it installs manually OK.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] X0LARIUM:
why does ANY ROM not flash>?? I have tried three different versions of TWRP. SAME error! Failed to flash or something. Can someone help?

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steelbrachen:
Great work ashyx, Im new to all this and I've been searching for hours and hours on how to flash but I keep getting this error message "Error executing binary in zip folder blablabla" I downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.2 for the 805 since i have the 805 model. I'm flashing Nightly CM 12.1 - 20151218-NIGHTLY-chagallwifi.zip. I have done the proper procedures with clean flash and it still doesn't want. I read on how to change or replace the update binary folder in the META-INF but how do replace it? and i downloaded the latest version of that ROM. The ROM is for a T800 but isn't the T805 capable to even without the LTE? because I don't mind not having LTE at all. Any help from you guys would be deeply appreciated, I've been desperate to get CM and this my first time rooting and flashing, sorry for being so noob. :(
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
You need to save the recovery.log immediately after the error and post it.

Cm roms usually do a device check and won't flash unless it's the correct model.

You can either remove the assert lines in the updater script for the device check or install twrp for the t800.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steelbrachen:
Thank you for your reply! How do I remove the assert lines in the updater script? Just on notepad then delete and save? Because the twrp that you have the latest one supports 800, 805 so I thought it should work. I'm not sure what the assert lines exactly are thank you

Sent from my SM-T805
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steelbrachen:
I just found and used a TWRP 2.8.7.2 for the T800 specifically and tried removing assert lines and it didnt work saying the same message that it could'nt update binary script error. Now that i have tried to remove the assert lines it says "Patching system image unconditionally..." It was the same message i had before flashing other ROMS. I'm kind of stuck and any ideas or suggestions are welcome. I Do i have to do something to make my device be recognized as a T800 since its a T805? The TWRP 2.8.7.2 is a T800 version so shouldn't it be automatic? I'm just not sure what to do at this point. I'm basically stuck at Patching system image unconditionally.. and it's been stuck for at least 20-30mins which i think is too long.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Did you repack the zip or just open it with 7zip?

You cannot just rezip a flashable zip. You need to open it as an archive, pull out the file to be modified then put it back the same way.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steelbrachen:
I'm not sure, I'm really clueless when it comes to zips, I just the one i have on the computer, Maybe thats where i messed up. Nonetheless, if its a TWRP for a 800 model it should work right? Theres no need for editing lines? Thanks for your reply.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Yep easiest way is just install twrp for the t800.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] thejase:
Thanks for all your hard work!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] rkrohan:
Can someone please give me the recovery image for T700 please. I have Linux so I can't download Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
If you are rooted and have busybox installed, use the "dd-method" (untar the tar; in a rooted shell (terminal or adb) "dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RECOVERY"), if you are not rooted use heimdall (if you like your bash, you will love heimdall over odin). On linux you are happy: not comparable to the windows driver ****, if you try to support a fastbootable device and a odinable device at the same time with the same usb driber stack....

Heimdall rulez, fastboot even more... ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] roselanguste:
Hello, and a Happy New Year!

I have seen, there is a Firmware-Update out, for my Device (Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S/LTE/T-705)! It is NOT a Marshmallow-Update, only a 5.0.2-Update with a few Bugs Fixed! But i have installed Your awesome TWRP2.8.7.2, and now i am not sure, that the Update-Process maybe needs a Stock-Recovery to Install Original-Samsung-Firmware with SmartSwitch! I dont use ODIN, in case it is faster and easyer with SmartSwitch! I must only Connect my Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S with the PC, and Start SmartSwitch! Then SmartSwitch finds the Firmware-Update, and asks for Install!

Can You please say me, can i Start this Update-Process without worry, with installed TWRP2.8.7.2 on the Device!? Or must i Reinstall the Stock-Recovery before starting the Update-Process with SmartSwitch!?

Thank You!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Recovery will automatically be replaced with stock. Just install as normal.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] roselanguste:
OK! Thank You, for Your always and fast Help! :good: :D
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Installed through heimdall "heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-2.8.7.2-f2fs-t700.tar --no-reboot", than pressed home+vol dn+power to exit download mode, pressing right after home+vol up+power to enter the recovery but I get a large "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" right after it, not ever getting into recovery.

Trying the original TWRP 2.8.7.0 I get stuck in the TEAMWIN logo.

Any hints, please?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Untar and flash img (or bin for bootloder, etc. - if flashing a complete stock rom).
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Flashed just the image and now I get stuck in the (new) TEAMWIN logo, likewise flashing the original 2.8.7.0 TWRP image. (Odin and Heimdall give me the same result)

As a side note, I managed to enter into the CM recovery, but it is really slow and it can't open the SD card to flash the ROM. EDIT: The SD card was bad. After changing it I could manage to flash CM recovery. However, the TWRP issue still remains, even though I didn't test it without the bad SD card, but would one SD card affect TWRP bootloop?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
A bad sdcard is similar to having bad hardware so yes that could have caused all your problems. Install recoveries using fastboot from a PC.

EDIT: Sorry I was thinking about my Nexus Player when I replied. Fastboot is what I use on all my Nexus devices, but for my Samsung I usually use Odin. However in the past Heimdal worked just fine on my Ubuntu machines but its been years since I played with it. Windows 10 and Odin seems flawless here for me.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Nonsens. Samsung devices don't speak fastboot - they speak odin. Fastboot doesn't work with samsung devices, thats why he used heimdall (no odin version for linux).

BTW: if you have access to a rooted shell on your device, you can use the dd method:

/ # dd if=/extSdCard/Download/twrp-2.8.7.2-f2fs-klimtwifi.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RECOVERY

That's what I use for years on chagallwifi, manta and opo.

EDIT: if you suggest to replace samsungs primary bootloader by an opensource one, which has no proprietary odin ****, but a fastboot interface, I'm 101% with you!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah sorry I knew that, but somehow I had my Nexus player in my head when I replied. My bad
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Flashify works well too on a rooted device.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Of course! And for people, who have never seen a shell, it's propably eesier. The great advantage of the dd-method is this: it's always there. You don't need running play services (or any other eco-system for that matter), you don't need to install any apk, you don't need to fiddle with win-usb-drivers (that one drives me nuts every time), you even don't need any network connection at all (if you have the img file already, of course). For cm-based roms, you just need to enable root for apps, enable terminal, and there you go with dd...

(win-usb: it's real fun, borrowing a win notebook and set up usb drivers for odin to chagallwifi. If I want to flash a modem to my opo via fastboot (twrp-2.8.7.0-bacon will break your sim card recognition, if you try flash a modem with it), I have to change drivers first... :( )
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Thanks, guys. Just to make myself clear, I can successfully flash TWRP or CWM via Heimdall on Linux. What's happening is that I can't get past the TEAMWIN logo after that. I'll try w/o the broken SD card now. CWM is working fine and CM is already running.

I didn't root the device. It's not mine, so I decided to flash CM w/o root. That's why I didn't use dd neither.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Cm userdebug builds (unofficial, nightlies) are always prerooted (not enabling root is not the same as unrooted!!! I've explained that in detail in chagallwifi thread). You can't flash cyanogenmod without root, 'cause there are no non-userdebug builds around so far.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] LauRoman:
