[Q] Problem with installing TWRP Recovery

Why, when I want to install the newest TWRP recovery using Odin, it doesn't install? Phone restarts but when I turn it off and enter to the recovery mode I still see stock one. Only one thing which is changed is flash counter. And status is not official.

Newest TWRP recovery for our phone is provided as zip file http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=91
You must install it from recovery
Where from do you have your file for odin?

okey, all is clear now.
btw, I have yet one question. Does TWRP Recovery from Maclaw include root checker which offers installing SuperSu if phone isn't already rooted?

No.

Install Android 6 without root?

As the tittle says. Can I install Android 6 in my s5 mini without rooting? Or unrooting later. I have G800H model. Can I do it with odin? If someone can write the steps for me or paste some tutorial I'll be very grateful!

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.

Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Doing that I will erase the old recovery and the root? Because It's weird that recovery autodelete itself. Or how I have to do to delete the old recovery and the root? Or if i flash it with odin the new recovery will replace the old one?
Sorry and thanks in advance!

You don't have to delete it. Just flash the new recovery via Odin and than go into recovery and do the wiping I told you.

Hi Zocker1304 and anyone else who wants to help. I downloaded the twrp from hennymcc from Androidfilehost.com and flashed with odin but now the recovery is broken. I lost the twrp and the original recovery too. When I try to go to recovery I get this message: Could not do normal boot. And goes to odin mode. What should I do? I'd like to delete everything and put it all again from zero.
Thank you in advance!

Go to advanced tab on Odin and activate Nand erase all. I don't know if that will help, but activate that and than flash Stock again. That will erase everything.

And first when I tried to go to recovery went to odin mode. And then I restarted my phone and tried again but this time I got the old recovery. So evidently I'm having a problem with TWRP. Whan can I do?

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

I totally did it that way! because that's what the tutorial says. And eventhough it failed. So I don't know what's the problem
Maybe I need root after all and that's why it don't work. I tried a couple of times more and still had the problem

Did you flash stock in between so everything gets erased? With activated NaND erase button? Under the advanced tab in Odin?

Yeah. Did everything. Is TWRP indispensable to have for installing rom? Is there any other recovery?

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.

I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

ya i know but i want to install official stock rom, but using twrp it is not possible and using stock recovery(dm verification failed)

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

Then use flashfire to install the stock rom. It will install everything except the bootloader.

You don't need a PC. Just install supersu with twrp.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.

I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance

Softbricked need help

Somehow I softbricked factory resetting my device and cannot find official software for it anywhere. It is the T-Mobile T818T.
It keeps rebooting into TWRP and won't go into system at all. Smart switch doesn't recognize it. So I need the Odin file.

I am not sure if the odin file is available for this model. Try a 'Format Data' from TWRP, in case if it is related to encryption.

First there are no roms for my model, second, finally got it fixed. Reflashed TWRP, and flashed SuperSU and the no force encrypt, and it booted right up.

If you can't find the firmware, make a backup and put it on your computer. If you ever screw up the firmware you will thank yourself.

Samsung Nougat Update as TWRP User ?

Hallo,
I am currently running rooted CPK1 on my Tab S2 with TWRP as recovery installed.
I just got a notification that nougat is ready to be installed. My tab then
reboots but nothing happens/is installed as i don´t use the default recovery anmore
because i am having TWRP installed. Whats the easiest way to upgrade here ? Flash
old recovery, if yes where do i get it ? Or is a flash via SamFirm better
and will i keep all my settings/data if i proceed this way ?
Thanks in advance.

Usually in the FOTA folder. Flashfire should automatically detect it.
