I am a rooted galaxy s5 with Verizon g900v on 4.4.4. I am trying to install twrp so that I can get a custom rom on my device. I am able to download the recovery file but when trying to flash the app crashes. I did enable the sd card patch and downloaded the required busy box and it is still not working!!!
View 1 RepliesSo, I want to flash the latest version of TWRP to my 920i ... My only question is this..
- Flash the new TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the one for Android 5.1.1) with Odin
This one for the normal S6 models & This one for the Edge models
In Odin 3.10.6, which option do you select to flash TWRP? I'm assuming BL is for bootloader, CP is for modem - what do you use for the recovery? AP, CSC, or UMS. I don't want to select the wrong thing and brick my phone.
I got a little problem with my TWRP.
Galaxy S6, Android 5.0.2
TWRP v2.8.7.1
I noticed it when i tried to install the Camera Mod. I tried flashing the zip, using TWRP.
It said, that the flashing was done succesfully, but nothing happened. I also tried it with anothter zip file, but still no change.
The folders which should have been changed doesn't show a change in the last changed dates etc.
I rooted my s6 with pingpong root and i want to flash twrp recovery. After flashing twrp.img with flashfy app,my ph stuck in logo. I tried some soft reset and other home+volume buttons+POWEKEY . However my phone still stuck in logo.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using G920I Australia version. I can successfully root using CF-Auto-Root.
But I can not get into TWRP recovery after I flashed that (tried both versions of the recovery) using odin. It stops at the first screen (samsung logo). I tried using adb commond reboot recovery and the hardware key (volum up+power+home), both of them do not let me in to the custom recovery.
I had tried enabled knox before flash TWRP, which made it into boot loop. And then recoveried using the official firmware. Now I can only get into the official recovery.
How to get into the TWRP? BTW, how to backup the pit file using adb? On previous models it was mmcblk0, but Galaxy S6 seems to have changed the memory map to sda1, sda2, etc.
On Chainfire's thread there is a link to a boot image for the MDB08K build of our phones, but nothing else. I personally have build number MDB08L and when I tried rooting the phone and flashing TWRP, I became stuck in a bootloop that I was eventually able to recover from. That was using the stock boot image for the MDB08L build number from Google's site.
My question simply is, how can we root any version other than the MDB08K build because we don't have a modified boot image of any other build.
As the title states, I flashed the lastest Cataclysm (stable) and ElementalX kernel(also TWRP asked me that SuperSU wasn't present and to flash it so I did, that might've messed it up), phone booted up fine and set my fingerprint password and everything. I decided to reboot my phone and the phone encrypted itself and now the ROM is force closing and I can't do anything. It asks for a password every time the recovery starts up (I tried default_password, no go) and TWRP won't let me decrypt.
So my question is, is there a way to decrypt without erasing userdata? Would really like to keep my internal storage. I have lots of important pictures and files.
Having issue with TWRP not erasing/flashing roms properly..I have a dark theme installed Domination Theme with the extras (MMS, contacts, etc) and i did a very clean install, normally I go Wipe > Advanced and select all partitions and format it.After flashing another rom, I noticed some parts are still dark themed like the MMS, Google search bar, contacts, etc
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I flashed the latest firmware, after being unlocked, then rent back to bootloader, flashed recovery, went to recovery and installed file. Then restarted...now stuck in boot loop. It booted before I went to flash recovery in the new firmware just fine.
Do you need to flash something else when you flash recovery?
it says device is corrupt when I restart, but I was under the impression that screen comes up when bootloader is unlocked, so not sure if it means anything...
Well I'm back at it again. Always had a problem of phone shutting off and entering qhdbootloader 9008 (however it goes) and I just run the boarddiag tool but this time its not that far. Well whenever it does that I also have to reflash system but now when I try to flash a rom, it gets to the installing system part in twrp and hangs, then reboots at the google logo until I enter recovery again. Aka I cant flash a rom, hangs and reboots at the installing system portion

View 4 Replies View RelatedDo I need to backup data in order to be able to revert back to my stock Rom? My understanding is that if I did a backup of the System, Boot, EFS, and Cache then I should be fine. Only gripe is that my Apps and app data will be lost. Is that correct?

I deleted the whole system what was quiete dumb i think...
(I had stock kernel, then rooted is via CFroot and then installed TWRP and delete the wrong thinks without having made a backup)
I recently flashed xef 5.1.1 and ota'd to 6.0.1 and rooted with spacex kernel. My question is can i install twrp with flashify?
First of all root with spacex kernel.... Then follow the guide on how to root galaxy s6 android 6 in this forum and don't do the last part with installing the kernal and super su. Link to guide: [URL] ....
Trying to root my Galaxy s6 SM-G920I India version but no luck. Had to restore stock firmware thrice today. Every time I used ODIN 3.10.6 with Unibase or Unikernal it would say kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing and stick to a bootloop. If I use the CF auto root method it says Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing and again bootloop.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI tried rooting my Galaxy S5 SM-G900T and after the root process with Odin and TWRP in the last step when I rebooted the phone it got stuck on a boot loop in the Samsung logo, so I had no choice but to do a Factory reset which even the OS got deleted in the process. I'm downloading the 5.1.1 firmware for my phone on my computer but I have questions on how to install it on my phone now, because obviously PC is not recognizing my phone or it is not letting me access the storage or sd card once connected. I have Kies 3 in my pc and TWRP on the phone. Which way can I install the firmware on my phone again?

Things I've done: Used Odin to flash a md5 file or a rom I keep getting an error
I'm so lost, I just got the phone yesterday as well too...
I'm new to the Samsung S6. Just brought a second hand S6 edge from eBay, and how to flash twrp recovery to the phone. It's been a while since I flashed a Samsung phone unsure on the process on how do it. I'm not really worried about tripping know....
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have not secured my taken pictures to OneDrive / Dropbox, but I thought a single TWRP backup (on a USB OTG) would be enough.
I was using Edgar28's XtreStoLite 2.1, and wanted to put 2.2 on the S6. I knew v2.2 needed a new bootloader and modem to be loaded in ODIN, so I did.
Before I did that, I made the TWRP backup on the usb stick, so if anything would happen I could go back.
Well, as I usually did with my Note 4 when installing a new ROM, I completely wiped everything except for the microSD card and the USB OTG.
But at that point I forgot the S6 doesn't use the microSD so I would probably be lost of all the photo's (yes because I also forgot to set up OneDrive).
Then I realised I had to go back because I forgot about my photo's. So I put back the modem and boatloader for XtreStoLite 2.1 and loaded the TWRP backup in the restore.
I hoped it'd start right up, but it does not. It comes in a bootloop, even before the animated samsung logo.
So then I tried installing XtreStoLite 2.1 without a wipe, and the system started but I couldn't see my photo's, the were gone.
Then I loaded the original firmware via odin over the backup, and I did see the photo's, but they were all grayed out. Like they were there but you wouldn't be able to see them.
What can I do to restore the photo's from the TWRP backup?
I flashed the XtreStoLite Bootloader and Modem for 5.1.1. After that I flashed the new TWRP with Odin, it passed so there shouldn't be any errors.
I tried to boot into the recovery after I turned off the phone with volume + / power / home button. At first there was only a picture of an android but now it doesn't do anything when I try to press the buttons.
The Bootloader shows that the knox is already tripped so it's w/e. Tried to check for root in Android terminal but apparently it doesn't recognise the command.
How to proceed, so I can finally boot into twrp?
I have a G920F. It is rooted via odin flashing Unikernel. When I tried to flash TWRP via TWRP Manager (installed from the playstore), the phone would get into a bootloop. It got stuck at the Galaxy S6 screen, with the red line up on the top left corner saying "Recovery Seandroid not enforcing" or something like that. I had to use KIES to get it back up and running (no data loss). Now I rooted it again, and root was successful. I want to get TWRP flashed in order to install the custom ROMS. How do I do that now? I don't want to have to use KIES to recover my phone again. It is running 5.1.1 btw.

First I tried to flash CF-Autoroot with odin v3.10.6 - after odin passed, the phone rebooted and got stuck on "powered by android" screen
I got the stock firmware (G920FXXU1AOBN) downloaded and flashed with odin.. the phone comes to life...
I try to flash twrp. ... same story
What can be the cause of this ? Can't root or get custom recovery
Should I do the OTA update maybe and try ?
I decided to root and installed a custom recovery on my G920l.
The root went fine and I installed TWRP but once I tried to reboot into the recovery my phone has frozen and doesn't want to turn off.
I don't get what I did wrong and how to fix it or at least how to turn the phone off?
I got my phone back and recovered it through a backup from TWRP.
Everything went smooth, besides half my drop-down menu settings are gone.

I just got a G920F from an aunt at UK, so I have a Vodafone version of the phone, but when I received it, every app is crashing, I mean every app. Like Facebook, Google Play, Google+, Messenger, Instagram, everything.
I tried flashing the stock rom so I flashed G920FXXU2POGJ, a vodafone 5.1.1 stock rom and it still crashes. Btw the camera doesn't crash so it's okay. But everytime I use facebook, shareit, app crashes. So, flashing the stock rom wasn't useful. The next thing I did was flashing G920FXXU2BOFJ, a UK international 5.1.1, because I assume I cant downgrade the android version (just like in i9505). and everything still crashes.
I'm on Android Version 5.0.2 thru AT&T. My camera seems to occasionally crash when i first startup and it seems to crash about 50% of the time i take video in the middle of the video. I don't have any high resolution settings. why it keeps crashing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my new galaxy s6 today and so far everything is good but I can't however access camera settings when I go into camera and click settings it crashes and just goes back to where I would take a picture I've already tried restarting the phone and even clearing cache and my phone is up to date.
