disable "Auto-Reboot" in Odin

after flash reboot with vol- / home / power and press instantly vol + / home / power to prevent the system writing stock recovery again

as soon as you boot once in TWRP it will work just fine even after a reboot

Hi

I tired installing TWRP following these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61601130&postcount=910

but after installing twrp with odin I get the following message "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and I cant boot into TWRP

any ideas on what I can do? I tried installing different versions of TWRP but they all fail :(

thanks

its a 920I version
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] killyouridols:
This was the issue, Thank you. I was advised to be quick with vol- / home / power, but wasn't aware I had to be THAT bloody quick :D

There is no TWRP available for the S6 Active so the answer is no I'm afraid.

Have you tried an official image from https://twrp.me?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] MacTheRipperr:
I've read that since all s6's have same SoC that it should be a universal recovery. I'm just double checking that I'm good to install in my T-Mobile s6?

You can install zeroflte on your G920T.

I just got the OnePlus 2, and TWRP will not "see" the OTG, OTG works fine when Android is running, but as soon as I go into TWRP I can't even mount the OTG
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
Why comment here recommended to go to one plus 2 forum in xda
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] idbl_fanatic:
Because it seems as though it is a TWRP issue not able to mount the external card
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] meduza:
S6 doesn't have an external SD ;) But OTG is working normally.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It usually gets mounted by default under /sdcard. Check the checkbox is checked under Mount page for Internal Storage.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] murrayit:
I think my problem was TWRP being replaced by stock ROM! I quickly pushed key combo after ODIN restart and I was able to get into TWRP! Before that I had stock recovery with limited options. Thanks!

It seems it does not work with S6 Live Demo Unit. It just stuck at the screen with white Samsung Galaxy S6.

I tried versions from 2.8.6.0 to 2.8.7.1. I also powered down the phone after each flash like someone mentioned to prevent possible overwrite by stock recovery.

An interesting finding is, although all other CF auto-root doesn't work on this unit (all stuck at the same screen as TWRP), CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i.tar boots up and works. Can OP look into this and make a working TWRP out of it?

BTW, there is no cellular function of the demo unit. I purchase this demo unit at a fraction of the price of a full functional phone to use it as a wifi only device.

Any help is much appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you tell me the device name for this device?

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] shadowcliffs:
Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately I don't have the stock recovery for this model, but I do have the stock recovery for a demo unit of S6 Edge (SM-G925X, on which neither TWRP works either). Will that be of any help? Here's the file:

I also signed up at http://opensource.samsung.com but it seems SM-G920X can't be found there, I guess it could be due to it's a store demo unit which is not for sale.

I'm getting the same problem with TWRP not booting as him, following the instructions from xtrastolite to go from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1.

I'm on 920i

I tried both the TWRP from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61548356&postcount=570

And the TWRP from the site, which is 2.7.8.2

https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar

Both gave the SEandroid error when I tried to boot TWRP after I had flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, I couldn't get TWRP to boot.

In the middle of flashing stock 5.1.1 then I'll put on TWRP.

EDIT: to get it working I flashed UniKernel http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395

Yeah, you have to keep system read only in TWRP or Android will never boot on stock without the custom kernel.

Google play service

Download them & install as a normal app ok ..
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bbender716:
I don't think it's them. It happens on XtreLite and WETA. I will flash everything and first boot everything is fine but after updating everything from play store if I enter TWRP again, I get the exclamation point in the notification bar saying Google Play Services is not working properly. If i clear data and uninstall all updates for google play services, the problem is solved with a reboot. None of these issues happen with CWM and it's not one particular version of Google Play Services since this occurred months ago, and then I tried again recently hoping it was fixed.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] May I dare to pledge for a little of your magic on a new, updated recovery for G925F, one that supports f2fs?

FYI discovered the issue is only present in the flashable img file not the Odin tar file
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It is the same file, just tarred. it has to be something else. TWRP has nothing to do with how the zip is updated, the zip provides updater which installs the files in the zip.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] rayn3:
Hello guys. I've just bought one S6 phone and as previous galaxy s, I'm planning to start first to root the phone and install one custom rom. Official rom installed on the phone is a 5.1.1 android COI9. I've read some pages here on this thread about TWRP, but it's confusing for me as i want to start the jobs. With this 5.1.1 that issues with deep sleep is still present? So, in order to install TWRP and have root, i have only to use odin and the .tar file? Or there are other steps in between or after? One thing that i'm not remember from S5, in order to avoid re-write of the custom recovery by the original recovery....i do not remember this sequence exactly. I'll really appreciate if someone is kind and give some hints in regards of this points exposed above.

I'm having the international version of galaxy S6, G920F.

Thanks in advance!

LE1. I think i've bricked my phone :( I've tried to install the latest TWRP via odin 3.10 and in options i've un thicked the option auto reboot. At the end Odin says Pass and o course the phone didn't reboot as i wanted to enter in recovery to avoid re-write of this custom recovery with the original one. Only that the phone do not want to restart anymore. It's stays in download mode and i cannot do anything. I've tried to reinstall that twrp via odin with auto reboot thicked, odin it's adding the phone but it's doing nothing as it's waiting at setup connection and after some time it gives me Failed. What i've did wrong and most important what i can do now to revive the phone? Recovery is lost i've think....Now i try to download an official rom and try to install it, but i do not know if this could work as no connection can be realized. That progress bar below Do not turn off target is not 100% full, i would say that 0.5% is empty.

LE 2. I didn't know that Samsung decided to change the reboot sequence from Download Mode. In order to reboot i had to push and hold for some seconds, all 4 physical buttons. Everything is OK. Nothing happen it seems, no root, but knox was triggered and still the default recovery. I come to my initial post, where i could find some clear steps on how to acquire root? Pffff i was completely panicked. :)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bbender716:
Good news [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] after further testing I'm 99% sure it occurs when you do advanced wipe-->wipe cache. This reproduces it every time and never when I don't do it. Something gets borked with play services when separately wiping cache.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Factory reset will format cache as well. Does it happen then too?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bbender716:
Further investigation has shown that the "fix permissions" button causes the issue.

Some anecdotal evidence here that the 'Unified' version of TWRP works fine on this version of the S6 Edge. I am not sure what they mean by 'Unified' though as my read of this thread and the TWRP website appears there are only S6 Edge version specific TWRP packages.
