Unofficial release -TWRP recovery for the Galaxy A5 - SM-A510F/FD/Y/M, Exynos7580
UPDATE 2/8/2016:
TWRP 3.0.2-1 MM build released.
Now working on Marshmallow
MTP working
ADB working
Update 5/4/2016 - TWRP 3.0.2.-0
https://twrp.me/site/update/2016/04/05/twrp-3.0.2-0-released.html
TWRP is now v3.0.2-1
SEANDROID warning fix
UI colour fix
New feature available in TWRP 3.0.0-0 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP instead of ODIN. I have extended this feature to include BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, CACHE, HIDDEN and RADIO(MODEM) partitions.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.
NOTE: To flash the modem, first it needs to be renamed to modem.bin.img
F2FS support added.
Internal SUPERSU root option removed. This is to prevent boot loops on 5.11/6.0 devices
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

The stock firmware, but why would you?
Incase the mobile has boot loop
For safety i want the stock recovery
From twrp recovery installed xposed installer some times mobile will be in boot loop for that i want the stock recovery
How is stock recovery going to rescue you from a bootloop?
For that you need a custom recovery like twrp to simply make a backup first.
Kk thank u
Can we install xposed installer in A710FD
Please suggest me its working or not

All unofficial versions have reboot bug. And as far as I new - you managed to fix it!
only problem when reboot from xposed power menu mod (wanam, apm+, etc). Need to flash again via odin and uninstall the module.

OK, I'll try to disable wanam's power menu and flash TWRP. I'll write the result. ...
I disabled wanam's power menu, flashed TWRP 3.0.0 without autoreboot ticked and rebooted into recovery.
Then I set time settings in TWRP and started backup. Backup completed...
Reboot from TWRP (Reboot System) - Reboot normal !!!
I will watch its behavour ... and perhaps the problem is solved.

You need to be sure it's a problem with the recovery. Power off your device and boot to system normally.
Using a terminal emulator type:
su
reboot recovery
Do you still get a recovery loop?

Here is what I did:
I flashed the recovery via flashify.
I rebooted the device normally.
After the phone restarts, it shows the Yellow colored warning Set warrenty bit: recovery.
The device boots into TWRP recovery mode.
After that I press reboot -> system.
After restart, it goes back to step 3.
Thank you.
That seems like you have flashed the boot partition with the recovery.img.
Please don't flash with Flashify. You cannot trust that it is flashing correctly.
Use the recovery image flash option in TWRP itself or use ODIN.

If we reboot directly to recovery, i mean through wannam xpossed power menu, recovery reboot issue occurs.. Pls fix this too..
Otherwise all are perfect
the error still exists.

The latest version of CF-Autoroot is matched to EPG2. That information is given on Chainfire's download page for Autoroot. I've heard that it works with EPJ2 but when it comes to Odin, pushing your luck is a bad idea.

Both of these archives are easily downloadable directly from their developers at https://dl.twrp.me/trltetmo/ and http://www.supersu.com/download
Linking to unofficial mirrors deprives developers of ad revenue. Both Chainfire and Team Win are providing incredibly useful software at no charge. The ad revenue goes a long way toward defraying hosting costs, keeping these things freely available.
Users should always download from known sources. Flashing your phone with some random .zip from Mega carries a terrible risk. You may not have any nefarious intent but that certainly isn't true in all cases. Nonetheless, your instructions are greatly appreciated. I just upgraded to EPK2 OTA and was wondering how much trouble I would have getting root back.
Hi,
I just went thru this and after messing with it for a couple of days, then did it as you suggested and it worked. And just now I ran across this page. <lol>
You wouldn't happen to know where the right PhilZ for this phone is??? I know many people love TWRP, but in the past when I've used it to restore, it's been about a 50/50 shot for me, whereas CWM/PhilZ has only failed me once in 5 years.
I have "philz_touch_6.59.0-trlte.tar" but it won't flash with Odin, so I'm thinking maybe it's the wrong one???
Btw, while Ihve got you, if I may please humbly request your expertise (I am Rooted on MM), when I use the tool I've used just fine on every other Samsung, Asus & LG device to remove Bloatware and I check them off and tell it to Uninstall them (just stuff like Facebook, Amazon, Flipboard, etc.), the apps react in one of two ways:
Fails to Uninstall -or- Immediately Reinstalls itself.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated!!!
Thank You!
We got our first recovery for Samsung M40 (SM-M405F). This one is ported using Samsung Auto TWRP recovery porter by Team Hovatek
Please try and let everyone know if it works for you or not.
(If you want to do it yourself for any other Android OS version, you can refer to the original Hovatek post.)
You must disable dm_verity before flashing TWRP.
TWRP based on version: 3.5.*
Details of base recovery used for porting:
Source: Extracted from downloaded firmware
Version: Android 11
Build Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 07:54:43 +0000
Security Patch Level: 2021-04-01
Product code: INS
PDA: M405FDDU2CUD2
CSC: M405FODM2CUD2
If this works for you, please post here so everyone will know.
If something goes wrong you need and any stock img/file let me know, I will share that too.
Update 1 =>
NOTE: Unfortunately, I can not test this recovery for few more days as this M40 is the only device that I have and it is also source of internet access for me and my laptop. If this mobile is turned off for any reason I wont have internet access so looking for fixes would be difficult.
But I have rooted some devices before and know how things work so I will help in every possible way if someone stuck at any place while trying this recovery.
Also, if someone confirms this recovery does not work, I am planning to port TWRP from scratch.
Update 2 =>
Instructions for NON-Rooted and Bootloader locked device-
Unlocking Bootloader:
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode.
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again in later steps. Connect the device to Internet during the setup.
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader.
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode
Disable DM_Verity (Android Verified Boot):
Copy the vbmeta.img (download from attachments) into your adb and fastboot folder
You can now flash the vbmeta.img using fastboot to remove dm_verity from your device
// Enable USB Debugging and enter following commands in CMD/Terminal after connecting device to computer.
adb devices
// You should see your device listed
adb reboot-bootloader
// Device should reboot to bootloader
fastboot devices
// You should see your device listed
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
// OR if the command above doesn't work, try below
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
// DONE
////////////////////////////////++++++++++++++++++++++++++////////////////////////////////
Note: For Magisk Rooted devices above steps are not required, as Magisk already patches vbmeta.img and disabled dm_verity (Android Verified Boot)
Flash TWRP with/without Root using Odin
1. Download and install Odin on your PC
2. Download the attached recovery.img, convert it into .tar
3. Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode.
4. Select recovery.tar under AP_ and Uncheck “Auto Reboot” in Options!
5. Flash the device
6. Now do not power on to System, enter into Recovery/TWRP mode using key combination.
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.
*DONE*
Enjoy TWRP!
Can you tell step by step procedure for flashing twrp in m40.
How to disable dm-verity?
I guess this didn't work in my device.
"reason recovery: error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmata header" error is coming.

Is your device rooted?
How did you flash this TWRP?
Please share your device info.
did you already tested it on your device??

My Product code : SM-M405FZBDINS
My device is rooted using magisk patch.
I flashed twrp before root using odin.
I didn't disable dm_verity.
How can I disable dm_verity?

Unfortunately no, I can not do any testing for few more days as this M40 is the only device that I have and it is also source of internet access for me and my laptop. If this mobile is turned off for any reason I wont have internet access so looking for fixes would be difficult.
But I have rooted some devices before and know how things work so I will help in every possible way if someone stuck at any place while trying this recovery.
Also, if someone confirms this recovery does not work, I am planning to port TWRP from scratch.
Thread title and note updated.

As you have flashed TWRP before root, it failed at verification stage. You need to disable dm_verity, please follow https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32719.html based on your OS version.
Otherwise, you can flash TWRP after rooting as Magics already disables dm_verity.

Did you try key combination or adb command?
Also, could you please share what all have you tried/done so far so I will have better idea?
I unlocked the bootloader, then booted my device to download mode.. change .img file extension to .tar then tried to flashing it using oden and selected recovery.tar in AP slot.. but it's stuck on file analysis.
Any help? Any step I did wrong? Let me know

I followed this thread to root my device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-sm-m405f-galaxy-m40.3951491/
There was no option of dm verity while patching stock rom using magisk.
Though My phone was successfully rooted.
I can't use fastboot as it's not showing my device in devices list ( tried a lot).
Finally I flashed your recovery using odin but after going to recovery mode it rebooted only. For recovery mode I tried key combination first and then a root app after device booted.
Updated post with detailed flashing instructions.
