Dear all,
I would like to know how I can install TWRP on a samsung galaxy s4 mini?
- S4 mini 4G LTE (international version serranoltexx)
- Odin latest version
- I use the serranoltexx variant of TWRP .md5
I use Odin latest version and the TWRP version of XDA: But every time I try to get into TWRP get stock recovery, with FAIL:
First I still had the set of warrenty bit recovery fail. But that is now gone.
Someone who can help me? This is because it wants to install LOS on it, so it works better than the stock ROM.
Flash TWRP
I also had the same problem, but i solved it by flashing CWM first, and then, using CWM, i flashed TWRP (custom-twrp-3.2.0-1-serranoltexx-STABLE-signed.zip). With it i flashed LineageOS 15.1 (lineage-15.1-20180222-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip) with no problem.
Root with Kingoroot and flash .img file with Flashify

Hi everyone,
Has anyone been successful in getting any of the CWM recovery variants to work on the N7105T? Every version I can find listed for the N7105 (no dedicated N7105T version, from both XDA/Google/ROM manager) causes the phone phone to boot into the standard Samsung screen. However the screen then glitches by moving to the left and disappears all together.
Easily rectified by flashing TWRP recovery or stock recovery, but the issue is I'm attempting to install one of the Modem files for the N7105T after flashing an N7105 custom ROM. Without the modem file the custom ROMS also experience the same glitch mentioned above from CWM recovery. Unfortunately the modem.zip file I have on file cannot be found in the Download directory of the phone when using TWRP so I suspect I'll have to flash this using CWM.
Any thoughts? Or better yet, has anyone else successful loaded a custom N7105 ROM by flashing the ROM and then the modem.zip in CWM as above for the N7105T or by any other methods?
FYI;
Just flashed Phils modification of CWM which works successfully on the N7105T without the glitch. However the phone still cannot boot into a custom N7105 ROM successfully.
I tried to do the below to no avail;
Using Phils Recovery, flashed Paranoid Android & applicable GAPPS. After this I flashed the N7105T Telstra Modem using Phils Recovery. Rebooted phone and the phone turns on and screen 'glitches' as described earlier.
I also have the same problem
Note2-CWM-6.0.4.1-GT-N7105t

Hello,
Me and a friend (who I by chance met on irc with exact same phone & issue), have been trying to install a Custom Recovery mod for him to be able to flash 4.4.4 and 4.4.2, while I have been trying to install Cyanogenmod 12.1. I can confirm that Cyanogenmod 12.1 has worked on my friend's previos S4 Mini.
Details:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE i9515 with KNOX Bootloader
The Problem:
The flashing of the Recovery ROM is successful through both Heimdall and Odin, but when rebooting the phones go back to stock KNOX bootloader/recovery.
What we Have Tried:
Different ROM versions (many)
Using different Odin-like programs (Heimdall, Odin)
Different Operating Systems (Linux, Win7, Win8, Win10, Mac)
Different USB Ports (USB1.1, USB2, USB3)
Different recovery ROM's (CWM - All versions, twrp, openrecovery)
Hello guys, I'm the Friend from the messsage above. Any help would be highly appreciated!
Hi. I have problem with TWRP installation on Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210, soft: SAMSUNG Official). I tried to install TWRP, but when I flash it with Odin, I have stock recovery. I found somewhere that auto-reboot should be unchecked, so I tried once again and... still the same problem.
1. Should I root my tablet before install TWRP?
2. How I can solve this?

Sorry, for my English.
Hi people.
I'm in the process of flashing my friend's Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE.
Here's some details:
TWRP version: 2.6.3.0 (The one some dude here made himself)
ROM: cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NJ-serranoltexx
SuperSU installed
Rooted using CM AUTO ROOT
Used Odin 3.09 to install TWRP
Everything is working fine but i'm having an issue flashing GAPPS.
9195 has a Krait 300 - which is an ARM processor so i downloaded the ARM 6.0 Micro package from OpenGapps.
Wiped all partitions, queued up the ROM and GAPPS in TWRP and flashed.
The process goes by fast and smooth, but the phone doesn't boot up after that.
The first time it took 25 or so minutes to boot up and ALL the GAPPS crashed after that.
What should i do?
I tried the following alternatives as well:
Bliss-v6.3-serranoltexx-UNOFFICIAL-20160521-1003
Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.6.0.build.0.x-20160516-2250
benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3

That's an old recovery. I would update it with TWRP 3.0.2-1 from HERE, reboot to recovery, and then wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik/art cache, then flash rom and gapps and reboot.

This worked!
I thought the old TWRP version was the only version compatible with the SGS4Mini.
I'm a Newb sure, but fairly sure this isn't my fault....
Hello, I have spent the past 2 days working on this flash you've stated as well and I can't understand for the life of me what I am doing wrong. You mentioned that TWRP may not have supported the mini but it seems that it does - odin just isn't installing it right? I am hoping people on here have already hashed this out on both ODIN and TWRP for this device and after spending 24 hours figuring this out i'm wondering if it's just some stupid thing i'm doing wrong. I've put the full stuff below which you may largely be able to ignore but what i need to figure out is how to install TWRP 3.0 or higher on my device, and how to keep ODIN from crashing. Can you help?
1. where I started and my goal:
My homestay mother in New Zealand who works for the tech firm Datacom provided me with a Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195 spark edition) that she had left over because she got a new phone for her work. I had a galaxy note 2 running default controls due to its setup on KNOXED up verizon, so i thought this was a good opportunity to switch to cyanogen since i've used the service before (someone else went through all this trouble for me and I am eternally grateful). So I am trying to install Cyanogen mod 13 with GAPPS package nano on to it.
2. The file repretoires and guides I used:
TWRP 2.8.1 (originally) and it's accompanied manager
Trying to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2.0 or 3.1.0
GAPPS arm 6.0 mini/nano/pico (I've tried all three)
Odin 3.12.3 with requisite drivers (shows blue on status bar)
Default Bootloader for Android devices
CMD ADB systems with requisite drivers
CyanogenMod 13 (cm-13.0-20160820-ZNH5YAO0J7) (currently installed and working san-GAPPs)
3. What I've done Start to current:
starting with the phone locked, unrooted, and factory resets not working (company KNOX settings)
Installed Kingroot, superSU, RootChecker, TWRP manager and official ap, P-uninstall = Obtained Root
Attained root on the phone, deleted all KNOX and KGNT protection. = obtained unlocked sim/recovery loader
Installed TWRP 2.8.6 (any more recent installs failed as I will explain below in problems) Attempted to flash it = read success
Failed to boot into TWRP recovery - provided default recovery instead.
downloaded and installed ODIN. Used default boot loader and attempted to install TWRP directly through ODIN = Works
placed CM13 zip file and GAPPS 6.0 - ARMS Nano on SD card.
Created recovery on SD card
Wiped cash, devalk cache, and internal storage = clean partition
Installed BOTH CM13 and GAPPs 6.0 as zip files using TWRP 2.8.6 = worked
rebooted system into new OS
OS got stuck in boot cycle due to GAPPs package. after some googling i found out that Gapps requires TWRP 3.02 or higher (but i couldn't get those to download onto my phone at all. [here enlies the ROOT of my problem - you're allowed to kill me now]
Returned to TWRP and installed JUST CM13 on the device = works great! just no GAPPs! and no ability to download apps
Used Odin, TWRP manager, the official TWRP app, and CMD ADB sideloader to attempt to install all 3.0 and higher TWRP files = all of them failed
now I cannot access a bootloader at all, but can access my OS just fine. It refuses to accept any TWRP bootloaders but without them i cannot install GAPPS
4. Where I am Currently & Problems I'm running in to:
Right now CM13 is on and stable for my device. My Recovery loader is refusing to come up AT ALL. Attempting to install both .img and .tar files of TWRP read as succeeding in the apps but don't come up.
ODIN can't load anything on the device. Either it keeps freezing and crashing any time I touch it or when it does go through the device still can't bring up TWRP. Even when flashing 2.8.6 which originally worked as a recovery file it fails as well. I can't get back to TWRP working at all.
ADB sideloading just results in <waiting for device>. I am clearly using "fastboot" instead of ADB during the point in which i am flashing the recovery file on to it.
5. What I need Help with:
I need to know why TWRP is freezing any time i attempt to install it regardless of version and how to get it properly installed
if someone could point me to a reason odin freezes regardless of what options I tick on or off, file I upload, or whatever i'd love to know
I see 2 ways out of my predicament and i'm not sure which one I should spend more time on: 1) get TWRP 2.8.6 to work again and then find an older GAPP partition to load on to it. or 2) Get TWRP 3.0 or greater to work on it, and then use current GAPP packages. which would be best?
I have a Samsung tab 3 SM-T116. I have downloaded the latest Odin and I have downloaded a few TWRP tar files
T310.TWRP.3.1.0-1.tar
twrp-3.1.1-0-goyave.img .tar
I cant seem to get my device t boot into TWRP. the Phone hangs. The forums all pointed me to these TWRP installations.
any Ideas on how i can resolve the issue
Seems to be working only on TWRP 3.0.2 on my SM-T116
Any recommendations for a stable rom?
