Hello there... i'm new on this device (SGS i9000). i updated my firmware to CM 10.1. I understand that when i update to JB, the rom updates my recovery to CWM 6. i am trying to change it to TWRP without success. My methods are 2:
1) i download a flasheable zip with the TWRP recovery. I flash it through CWM but when i reboot into recovery again, there is CWM, no TWRP.
pd: CWM didn't indicate me any error during the flash of the zip. it says that it were successful.
2) i flash the recovery image through flash_image using the terminal. it says that it was successfully wrote in the recovery partition.
i guess there's an script that reflash CWM recovery in every boot but i am not sure. If i'm correct (or not) what do i have to do to to flash TWRP permanently?
sorry for my bad english

Hey any idea how to take advantage of EXT4 support? my partitions do not seem to change when I change filesystem, a full guide from anyone would be appreciated
Hi
I have a GS3 i9305T. I can install and run any official rom without any problem up to 4.4.4. but when i install TWRP and then install any by any I mean every single custom rom on android 5.x.x it will just show the boot logo of CyanogenMod or nameless or any other one! nothing after that!
What i have tried is
Done factory reset before installing, Done after that, or didnt even do that.
installed rom with Gapps and without gapps
installed a fresh Stock rom and then installed the custom roms
tried couple of different Kernels as below
3 Jun 2015] [AGNi][CM] 03-06-2015 AGNi pureCM v4.4.5 I9305 (ULTRA SMOOTH)
[20 Apr 2015] [AOSP] [ArchiToolchain] [14/04/15] ArchiKernel V2.X
[21 Mar 2015] [CM12.0] Boeffla 3.0-alpha10 - 21.03.2015
[02 Feb 2015] HboKernel v0.3 - 02.02.2015 (NamelessRom 5.0)
I have done everything that i could so please as you know my problem is not the factory reset! please advise me what should i do?
did you install twrp 2.8.7.0? If yes, that one is faulty. Flash stock rom again, flash 2.8.5.0 and everything is working.
I have installed the rom using TWRP 3different version, Philz recovery, CWM none work!
you didn't answer my question though.
Hello shamid202,
please use this odin-flashable Recovery:
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-alpha17-i9305.tar
problem is data part format should be changed.

I have exactly the same problem, I try to flash SlimLP is booting but stuck on rom boot logo. I try to flash PAC rom same issue.
I use twrp 2.8.7.0 and openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-alpha17-i9305.
@shamid202 do you have resolved the issue ?
Solved for me
After having problem with weird usb cable, I finally success to install SlimLP F2FS Rom with this procedure:
Flash TWRP VERSION 2.8.5.0 recovery with heimdall (or odin) heimdall --RECOVERY twrp2.8.5.0.img --no-reboot
Reboot in recovery mode
Flash from recovery Twrp openrecovery 2.8.7.0 alpha17 zip
Reboot in recovery mode
Go to Wipe/advanced and format /system /cache /data partitions to F2FS
Then finally flash SlimLP F2FS ROM zip
Twrp 2.8.7.0 work but I was unable to flash alpha17 after installing this version ...
