Does anyone know how to get past the boot loop issue after flashing TWRP 2.8.7.1?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Meh, I finally got Windows to allow a connection barely long enough to flash TWRP 2.8.6.2. It's Bullsh*t though that the link is still up when it F's phones up so bad. Any responsible dev would take it the f*ck down. Thanks for your offer of help.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Paradoxumical:
I didn't have any issues upgrading TWRP v2.8.7.1 from TWRP v2.8.6.2 on Lollipop 5.0.2. Just because a few people are having difficulties doesn't mean the developer should take it done and leave others hanging.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Heimdall.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wvcadle:
A few? Is that what you call it? If there are issues with even 10% of clients, the software should be removed. 10% is a HUGE number.

And do tell. How would it have left you "hanging"? I can't wait for the story of how it would have wrecked your phone or your life to wait for a truly stable version of TWRP.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Paradoxumical:
No need to be snide, there's clearly something going on with your phone. Why don't you list exactly what you're running for me and what you had before your current driver. TWRP v2.8.7.0 was only for Lollipop 5.1.1 (or so it seems), v2.8.7.1 appears to be a Lollipop friendly recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I presented as snide after spending the last two hours recovering my phone from this mess. And after reading the last several pages where more people than not were experiencing the same problems as me, I took it as a little smug to say there were only a few people presenting with problems, and that it would have left you hanging (somehow?) by not allowing you to update your TWRP. I guess I was thinking 'what's good for the whole' instead of what's good for the few who experienced no problems.

I'm good now though. I appreciate your offer of help anyway.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Paradoxumical:
Yeah, I read the last few pages before replying as well.

Half the people were attempting to flash older or incompatible versions of TWRP.

That isn't the developer's fault, that's the user's error.

Perhaps I could have chosen a better term than hanging, however, that doesn't change the previously stated facts.

I mean, honestly... Can't we show [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] a little respect. He's been hard at work providing a working TWRP for us, WITHOUT having the actual phone himself to test on. He's been relying on his testers and other users to provide logs and find bugs. Not to mention how poor Samsung is when it comes to releasing sources. Just be grateful we have a working recovery. Instead of attacking the developer and other users, look back and figure out where you screwed up.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] diogoperas:
So is it possible to flash TWRP on 5.1.1 or not? If yes, with what version?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] daffie:
Good to hear and you're welcome. I was more than a little surprised myself yesterday at finding the link still up with so many issues reported. But, to be honest the dev has posted a new version today which seems to work, so all's good. And in the end we all are responsible ourselves for flashing stuff on our phones ;)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] mikeyinid:
First of all, everything you do to your device is at your own risk. Second, [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] doesn't have to spend the time he does doing this for us. If you knew anything you'd be eating your words right now.

I just used Flashify in 5.0.2 to install the 2.8.7.1 recovery image straight from my phone. Indeed, all is working -- phone booted into recovery and then back into system with zero issues

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] mikeyinid:
It's pretty much been confirmed that 2.8.7.1 works for 5.0.2 and 5.1.1, if for some reason it doesn't work for you, you're doing it wrong. FYI; 2.8.7.1 is posted on page 58ish, it's not in the OP. I bet you guys reporting bootloops are flashing the wrong img...
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Rebel25:
I flashed twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar as I have a SM-G920F. Is that the wrong image to flash?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] daffie:
Excuse me, but a lot of the people who mentioned issues with bootloops yesterday are referring to version 2.8.7.0 as that was the version out at that time. I know, I was one of them, and I flashed the 100% correct file! It was a faulty build for sure :mad: Version 2.8.7.1 seems to be fine.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] mikeyinid:
is it working for you? no, that is the right one. are you on 5.0.2? or 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] diogoperas:
2.8.7.1 working on 5.1.1 :)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] mikeyinid:
2.8.7.0 actaully worked for some people too, but yes, it was causing issues. The new one, 2.8.7.1 is the one I'm referring to. It should work for everyone regardless of what firmware they are on.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Rebel25:
I am on 5.1.1. I get boot loops every time I flash it. I even left it to see if it would boot but after 10 - 15 loops I just flashed back to stock.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] daffie:
Cheers and I'm glad to see 2.8.7.1 seems to be A-OK :good:
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Stand by, the public release of 2.8.7.1 is building right now.

Either way id say redownload it, it may be damaged. also what method are you using to flash it.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Rebel25:
I will redownload and try again. I am using odin 3.10.6 to flash it to my device.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
it works now with 2.8.7.1 thanks
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
You're on 5.1.1, have you let the device fully boot after using oding to flash 5.1.1

When i did some testing whit 5.1.1 i found that if i didn't let the device fully boot 5.1.1 at least once, weird boot issues would happen to me. I don't have an explanation for it sadly. but I did resolve it by letting it boot once fully, then going and flashing something else.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Rebel25:
I have been using 5.1.1 for a few days now. This is just a weird issue.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wase4711:
would you folks recommend that T-Mobile folks on 5.02 ,with custom S6/S6 edge roms/kernels, who have been using Eusophoros's twrp V2, upgrade to the "new" 2.8.7.1, or just stay with what has been working fine for the last month or so?

I'm in no hurry to "upgrade to 5.1, if that makes any difference..

thanks
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Dont use this TWRP on the edge it will have no touch and the buttons will be jacked. the gpios are different and the panel is different. bigbiff is actually working on the edge tonight if he has time.

We've already been discussing it with him and suggested he patch in the unikernel bits that will make twrp universal as well.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wase4711:
Thanks for the fast reply man!

Biff is top drawer, a xda superstar, and anyone who criticizes any thing he ever does has no clue what he ACTUALLY does on this site..
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] diogoperas:
Ok, unfortunately I said it worked on 5.1.1 too soon.

TWRP is working, but my G920F won't boot to android :( Getting boot loop all the time.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bluflight:
All ok here mate on my G920F with 5.0.2 :good:

- phone boot normally and reboot in recovery also with 5way reboot without problems

- otg ok

- nandroid ok (i only noticed little more slow speed than previuos 2.8.6.2 (142 sec instead 109, but is not a problem of course)

- flash zip ok
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] kswa1987:
Thanks wase for asking on behalf of G925T users. Always good to confirm things before you bork your phone.

Thanks Mr. X for your quick reply, and for keeping us posted on the TWRP dev for the S6/S6 edge.

Really impressed to see the unification coming along so nicely, especially with the recent 5.1.1 updates.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] -Mr. X-:
We talked with bigbiff and gave him the links to the unification source ot pull it if needed. if he chooses to unify or separate the devices twrp is his call but either way he said he is planning on working on it if he has time tonight :)

Don't allow your phone to reboot into system after the Odin flash. TWRP is being overwritten. Boot to recovery immediately after the Odin flash.

So just to recap before I proceed. I have a G920F currently running 5.1.1 (BOFL), rooted with unikernel (via Odin flashed). To flash TWRP, I all I need to do is to download the .tar TWRP image, and flash with Odin? I really don't want to have to recover my phone again. Thanks all in advance!

every time i try to install twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar it does correctly (odin and flashify), but when i try to boot into recovery by holding the buttons it doesnt boot and keeps freezing on the samsung screen.

when i reboot and dont press these buttons it boots correctly to the system.

is there anyway i could still get TWRP working on my s6? I allready tried to install some 5.1.1 fimware from sammobile for sm-G920i devices with odin, they install correctly, but my phone doesnt boot up than,

HI all,

i have an s6 920f, installed latest 5.1.1 lollipop and installed twrp 2.8.7.1 but when i reboot in recovery mode to install a custom rom, i can't copy the zip file on the phone, it says: the device has stopped working or disconnected...why?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
So I've been reading the last few pages as well as the OP so I know what I'm doing before finally flashing on my phone. I'm currently rooted using pingpong, but still on stock rom naturally. I have the international variant G920F, running 5.0.2, rooted.

Can someone just confirm that I have the right idea here before I go ahead with it. I'll need to download the zeroflte version of twrp from the site, and I can either flash it using Flashify (since I'm already rooted), or using ODIN. Which method is preferred? I should not run into any bootloop issues correct? This was sorted in the 2.8.7.1 build correct?

Am I on the right track?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
Actually, since I'm rooted, can I just use TWRP Manager to flash the recovery? And using this method, will I still need to reboot straight into the recovery before the phone boots to avoid the rom rewriting the recovery again?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] gianton:
You can do that, but it will trip Knox. I prefer the Odin flashing though.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
But wouldn't flashing in odin also trip knox?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] gianton:
Yes it will. Flashing a custom recovery, kernel or ROM will trip Knox. But who cares lol. :p

MTP will show files for samsung devices, but currently transferring files over MTP is broken until I can reverse and patch in Samsung's custom MTP implementation. I hope to have some time to study it when I am finished with implementing adb backup for TWRP.

4) So I rebooted (Reboot to system) and my phone was in a bootloop, samsung -> reboot -> samsung reboot.. endless..

5) Then I went back to recovery, tried clearing cache, didn't work, did a restore (all but data) and now it's stuck on samsung logo? wtf?

I just wanted to make a backup and ended up with softbrick?
