Thanks, dude !

Working OK for both MIUI and AOSP based ROMs?

Working with ASAP and MIUI and encryption all round.

That's great! Thanks for sharing

After flashing this recovery, it boots right back into stock recovery. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Do I have to disable dm-verity or something?

You can keep dm-verity. After flashing I'd suggest leaving fastboot and booting straight into recovery via fingerpress.
Flashing SuperSU or Magisk or similar should ensure survival of TWRP if it's being overwritten.

Works great but I found :
1. Reboot to TWRP is so slowly... Why ?
2. System won't boot into TWRP when wipe everything and reboot to TWRP. I need to turn phone off and then press volume up + power button to enter TWRP again.
Is there any chance to fix those ?

1. I've noticed the slow speed too, I'm 100% sure why it's happening but I have some ideas.
2. The same ideas will hopefully address this issue.
It was a quick and dirty port since there was no native TWRP, I haven't had the time yet to improve it but I'll build an updated release based on 8.2.5.0 sometime soon and look to making it official.

I've had no issues with USB-OTB, with any standard formatted flash drive (FAT32, NTFS, EXT4).
This is also the first I've heard of anyone having such an issue.
Does the OTG drive mount successfully in whatever ROM you're using? Is it attached prior to booting to TWRP? Can you provide additional information.
TWRP doesn't like remounting the same USB multiple times - i.e if you unplug the USB while in TWRP, and then reattach the same drive it won't remount it.

Sorry to feedback lately because I was too busy in past 2-week.
Well, new TWRP is working well.
The only one problem: If I want to upgrade firmware, TWRP will be replaced by MIUI stock recovery after flashing new version of MIUI ROM.
It's pretty annoying because I need to get into fastboot mode then flash TWRP. After that, entering TWRP and flash lineage OS ...
Is it possible to be fixed in next coming version ?
Kris

May I know how to flash the TWRP rom?

Stuck on ''Samsung Galaxy S9'' logo after flashing Custom ROM

Hi guys!
I can root my Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F Exynos variant, build no.: G960FXXU2BRGA, latest build from sammobile). When I want to flash a custom ROM like LineageOS or Resurrektion Remix through TWRP, it remains on the ''Samsung Galaxy s9'' logo after wiping cache and data and rebooting to system.
Before installing any ROM, I wipe the cache, install the ROM, and wipe cache, and then reboot to system. No matter what ROM I flash, it always remains on the logo. I am also able to flash the stock ROM through Odin and install the TWRP in downloading mode and root the device again, but can't flash any custom ROM.
Am I doing something wrong? I appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!

Update you twrp recovery

I am on the latest build, which is 3.2.3-0.

Had the same issue. Flash bre5 firmware via twrp.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=272468

I'm having the same issue. I think it's because I'm not on the correct firmware version though. I keep reading that I need to be on BRE5; which I'm currently downloading from updato.com.

How do I flash that via twrp?

Download file from link and reboot to twrp and flash. Phone should boot. If not clean flash.

It doesn't allow me to select the file from the install menu. The download ends with .tar not .zip, so it isn't displaying in the TWRP Install Menu's file explorer. Choosing Install image doesn't make a difference either.

May I ask in this thread for my own problem?
SM-G960F/DS,
After installing TWRP lastest version, backing up, wipe data, cache, dalvik I installed LineageOS, opengapps and addonsu, rebooted to system and now the screen stucks with the samsung galaxy s9 logo. I am not able to turn off the device since more than 30 minutes. Now I'm waiting for the battery to get empty and then try to reboot into TWRP

Do a battery pull power off by pressing and holding the volume down and power keys at the same time for 10 seconds or until the phone boots up. Between the restart hold the keys to get into TWRP recovery and it'll boot into that. Once there follow the instructions above.

Thanks, well I tried those key combinations with no success
...however, I found the following key combination to restart the phone: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + "homebutton" (at the bottom of the touchscreen, where you would find the home button in older phones)
pressing this combination several seconds restarted the phone. After that I FIRST had to go into download-mode, and after that I could finally enter recovery !!! hurray. Trying to enter recovery at once was not possible. However, now I will try to install.

Hi,
I am having the same problem as the OP (although I am not trying to flash a ROM). Before I flash this random link out of the internet, can you tell me what it is and why it is needed? To educate?
Thanks!

Haven't flashed in over 2 years. Missing anything?

I went to the dark side in April 2016, and haven't flashed anything in about 2 years. Wife's tablet (flo) needs an update, MM is getting laggy though the tablet has always been good to us.
Titanium was getting to be crap around the last time I used it, with problems mostly restoring, does that still hold true? Might just use it to back up a couple apps she uses a lot and just use Play Store to restore the rest. It's not really important, just curious.
Downloading the TWRP app, I know TWRP is installed but willing to bet it needs to be updated and the app can do that.
Tablet is near its EOL, not planning on rooting it if the ROM doesn't come pre-rooted. I have no idea what Magisk is.
So I'm gonna go into TWRP, wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Flash ROM (going with Lineage 15.1). Now at one point 2-3 years ago the common wisdom was starting to become "flash ROM, boot ROM, reboot to recovery and then flash Gapps." Y'all still doing that? Or can I just flash Gapps right after flashing ROM and reboot then?
Bit nervous as I haven't flashed in a while, but also kind of exciting.

We've got Android 8.1 Oreo now... Working perfectly on our Nexus 7... You should check it out...

Any suggestions for which are the most stable roms to try? I'm in the same boat. I'm on android 6.0.1, stopped flashing things a while ago and it might even be official! But mine's running like a dog so think I wanna try something to jazz it up!

You should try pure Nexus rom based on 7.1.2 for ultimate good battery life. Oreo is Good but battery isn't the greatest.

Well i have been rooting for a bit.
My N7 2013 Flo is not rooted. It is unlocked.
I thought i have via adb fastboot put latest twrp on it...but i turn it off (go into bootloader) toggle into recovery...tarp is not there (triangle with red 'i').....
I dont want to go ballistic but I never would have thought I am having such a hard time putting recovery image onto it.
It is stock 6.1
CF root doesn't exist anymore...some say use majisk....that's not working....
Without a recovery tool....(twrp) nothing can be flashed..
AM I MISSING SOMETHING

Firstly, your stock 6.1 is ancient and obsolete. Here are detailed instructions to install a modern Android, TWRP and root....

ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/flo
native root solution, no need for CF, Magisk, etc. - https://download.lineageos.org/extras (install addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip and activate it in the developer options)

I did the 'install lineageOS on flo and installed TWRP latest. Seem like fastboot went into a slew of commands
and finished. I followed the steps to reboot into recovery and twrp is not there. Android dude opened with red triangle.
I have no clue whats up. I leave it sit, and it reboots into android splash screen and bootsup so i can use the tablet. I guess this is why I am soo perplexed. "Am i missing something?"

I think you have missed this step.... "Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install." - https://twrp.me/asus/asusnexus72013wifi.html

Thank you for 'helping me'......I have googled this combo everywhere and tried it all. Nothing is allowing the tablet to populate into twrp.....
Perhaps its really not fastbooting twrp into the device

Wait, is Kevin_McLaughlin=ganggreen777 ?
Anyway, here is an alternative way:
- fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-flo.img (please copy the output and post it here)
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- select recovery in the bootloader
That's it, but you must do it in this order or else TWRP will be gone again.

I will do as stated above (I swear I am (thinking) I am doing it as above all the other times. (when you say copy output...is that from the fastboot dialogue? ) ...is it as easy as copy paste ...I dont remember how to copy via adb fastboot...
(Makes me wonder if twrp is really being fastbooted into the n7 2013

You need to do the following in TWRP:
(Optional, but recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.
Select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe.
Select Cache, System and Data partitions to be wiped and then Swipe to Wipe.
Go back to return to main menu, then select Install.
Navigate to /sdcard , and select the LineageOS .zip package.
next install the addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip (root addon)
and finally GApps (Google Apps) from https://opengapps.org/ - select ARM 7.1 pico
"Note: If you want any Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before the first boot into Android!"

1. Manually reboot phone to recovery launch Setup.exe in the S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS folder and choose Option(1) Launch TWRP
2. To Exit TWRP simply choose reboot
To Enter TWRP When Unrooted
Remember with Nougat TWRP cannot mount data because of encryption so some zips wont work
1. Put phone in download mode In Odin AP slot flash AP_ROOT_G93***.tar force phone to reboot to recovery. If you let phone boot it will reroot and you will have to run the unroot from the root control app.
2. In recovery launch Setup.exe in the S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS folder and choose Option(1) Launch TWRP.
3. Do whatever you need too do
4. To exit Twrp choose reboot to Download
5. In Odin BL slot choose the BL_G93*_DELETE_CACHE.tar and flash phone will reboot to recovery and say processing update then get an error and strart rebooting recovery
6. Let recovery bootloop at least once thin force phone back to download mode
7. In Odin AP slot flash BL_ENTER_ENG_RECOVERY_G93*.tar and flash phone will reboot to recovery with a bunch of red cache errors
8. In recovery choose wipe cache then reboot back to bootloader from recovery
9. In Odin BL slot choose BL_OREO_STOCK_G93*.tar for Oreo or BL_RESET_DM_VERITY_G93*.tar for Nougat and flash
10. This is important as soon as odin is done flashing and phone powers off immediately hold buttons to force phone to recovery
11. When phone reboots to recovery you will get no command error then when phone shows recovery options in black box at very botton it should say Successfully verified. If it says unsuccessful or failed then start at number 5 again. If successful and on oreo you are done.
12. If on Nougat and successful from recovery reboot to bootloader in Odin BL slot flash BL_NOUGAT_STOCK_G93*.tar

Beware If you update to new V8 bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good

It is not possible to install Magisk, because he is installing his own boot.img and i will be stuck at bootloop? Everything is working by the way, many thanks, but i flashed Viper4Android, it doesn't work, asks for drivers all the time.

Brilliant! Many thanks as I just got this device a few days ago so the timing on this guide is perfect! I had a little trouble after I flashed the BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS where it constantly boot-looped but once I was able to get it back into download mode (holding volume down, home button, and power button) and start again from step 5 of the unrooting process everything worked according to plan then. I'm happy to announce I've rooted, customized, and unrooted thanks to the simple ease in which this method works so many thanks to jrkruse!

Yes v8 bootloaders means the party is over enjoy totally stock because you are not rooting or anything else unless a v8 eng boot gets released and i doubt it because v5 v6 and v7 never got released

how compatible do you think this would be with the s7active (native to AT&T carrier) ?
especially now the S7active has recently been updated to Oreo, which also updated its bootloader to v4 ...
worth a go ?

Unless you have an eng recovery for oreo for the active and an eng boot.img for oreo you won’t be able to do anything

[ROM/FW][STOCK]LG V30 (Joan) T-Mobile H932 20r TWRP flashable firmware (incl. ROM)

LG V30 T-Mobile H932 20r ROM​
For U.S. T-mobile H932 ONLY. Do NOT install this on any other V30/V30+/V30S except U.S. T-mobile H932. You will brick your phone.
DISCLAIMER : I do not hold responsiblity for any of the following but not limited to : Bricks due to not reading, nuclear war, cat dying. I will not be held responsible for any damage of any kind due to the result of this zip. It is held under your own risk. This does not mean that i wont help in any way shape or form to recover from anything that may happen at the result of flashing this zip. PLEASE FLASH RESPONSIBLY! PS. This zip has NOT been tested by me!​
This Rom is 100% Stock. Most recent TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Oreo with working TWRP.
This zip is created from the original KDZ. It contains almost the complete 20r firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image is removed. I changed the system.img, so you do not have to reinstall TWRP (recovery-from-boot.p deleted) when ROM once booted. I also changed the partition size of system.img, so the vendorized people can install this too without having problems because of a too small system partition. This is a continuation of westwood24's idea and work, I've updated it to the newest fw version and edited / advanced it a bit. I followed his idea and made this for users who can not take OTA's because they have Custom Recovery / Root installed.
Features
Stock build made from official KDZ
Stock Build.prop
Unrooted
system.img modified to keep TWRP
System image size shrunk for being able to flash this on a smaller system partition, mainly caused by vendorizing
Removed dm-verity
Removed rctd (LG's root checker tool daemon)
Enabled opt-encrypt, it's your choice now if you want to encrypt your phone, it's no more forced. TWRP now is capable of decryption (both AOSP and stock) since a few versions
Added DTS build prop
Added all lockscreen weather animations build prop
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader [How to do]
Working TWRP installed (should be installed already, otherwise you wouldn't need this zip )[Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
When you need Root, Latest Magisk [Download]
H93220r.zip [Download]
How to install
When you are still on Nougat,
you should start fresh: Reboot to recovery using button combo or reboot app (needs root; btw, Magisk offers this possibility too: Menu -> Modules -> three dot menu top right - Reboot to recovery)
Then flash this TWRP.img via image flashing function in TWRP, reboot to recovery again (for fully working new recovery) and do a backup, then copy this backup to your PC.
Then initiate a factory reset. Wipe your system partition too in TWRP advanced wiping menu, copy the 20r firmware zip to your SD and install it. Reboot and enjoy
From Oreo:
For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system
You can also keep your data by simply dirty flashing the zip. *Be aware that problems may occure, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 20r zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
P.S.: could be, that you first need to boot up your fresh install and set it up before you can flash magisk.
At the first time you boot to system, it can be TWRP says No OS installed. You can ignore it.
If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no (in newest TWRP SU is disabled, and the option to install the TWRP app is disabled too.)​
Rom Version
Android Version: 8.0 Oreo
Android security patch level: 2019-1-1
Don´t forget to hit the thanks-button if you like this zip! :good:
You want to help me with a [donation?] Not asking for it, I have fun doing this for you, but feel free...

#RESERVED
Please to anyone who had issues with the zip.....
We have a fix!
Flash this zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397908552
Then flash a rom from your SD CARD
ONLY FLASH THIS OF YOU HAD A BRICK FROM 20R!!

Zip is live! Enjoy!

your zip name is wrong.. should be h93220r* ( it doesnt matter but i was confused at first)
also, i flashed it and nothing happened. my system is still the same as i was before (20p)
and in the script, i think it says 'model=VS996' or something. since it just words, it may not matter.
but maybe you used the wrong script for h932
In any case, the zip did nothing for me. flashing only took about 10 secs in total, and flashing system barely took a second.

So seems theres an issue with the zip. Maybe upload didn't quite finish as I did it while at work via rdp to my pc at home. Will look into it when I get off work

At the end of the flash it looks like it flashed fine but then it tells me it failed to mount everything. When I go to reboot into the system it tells me there is no OS. I was just going to flash the 20p zip I had but then it restarted and now I can't get into TWRP again. Now it just restarts into fastboot mode
UPDATE: I was able to get back into TWRP by going through the factory reset option (Volume down + Power, etc.) I'm now flashing the 20p zip I have.
UPDATE 2: Didn't work. Got into a bootloop. Restoring an old Lineage backup I have. Should have made a backup of my current state before flashing but I wasn't thinking
UPDATE 3: That didn't work either. Everything I flash it tells me failed to mount '/persist-lg' and just boot loops. I guess the next thing to do is try and use LGUP to restore

Same here as above. Doesnt mount system persist cache.

Flashing anything else doesn't fix it either. My phone is chillin' in recovery mode until I can figure it out

Thanks. Searching around, I see there have been people having issues like this before with other devices. Something to do with the persist.img. Did the last zip include one? Also, I hope whatever it is can be fixed with a new zip. I don't know why restoring a backup or flashing an old full stock zip wouldn't fix anything.
This is basically what I'm getting
