Hi all,
I know this is not the right area but I'm not able to post in the DEV board...
I'm using i9001 and now I'm on [ROM][JB][4.2.2][JDQ39E] CyanogenMod 10.1 by ADC Team - Release 5 - Kernel 3.4.x
I've also TWRP 2.6.0.0 Recovery on the phone because CWM has a lot of issues.
ROM and TWRP are from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315448
When I try to do a backup with TWRP my screen turns black after some time. The screen turns also black when I disable screen timeout.
Also when I'm in the main menu of TWRP screen goes black after some time.
When screen was turned off I'm not able to return to TWRP. I have to restart the phone.
Three questions:
Does anyone of you have the same issue and maybe solved that?
Does the backup fail when screen is black or is the backup finished in backgroud? Anyone knowing that or knows how to check?
Kind regards
Lukas

I had the same issue.
you can fix it by installing another version of twrp.
(I am not allowed to post links)
different twrp versions:

twrp 2.2.1 is stable for me.
you can download it from mediafire.

please report the result back
If it worked please hit the thanks button
Hi,
thanks for your help.
some more questions regarding TWRP.
Acutally I'm running2.6.0.0
Is it possible to "downgrade" to a lower version?
Backups of 2.6.0.0 won't be used in oder versions, right?
How to deploy a downgrade? Can I just do it as an upgrad and install from zip or are there any specials.
Just replacing would work or is it a bricked version which means I have to reinstall CM10.1 and other stuff?
Last: What deffers your build from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129298 => TWRP => Old releases => [2.2.2.1] [1] ?
Or can this be also used?
To downgrade your recovery, just download the zip-file for twrp 2.2.1 and flash it via recovery. I don't know if your 2.6.0.0-backups will work with 2.2.1, but i would rather say no.
There shouldn't be any differences between the recovery from rdai's link and yours, you can take any of them.

I recently got an S3 Mini and I wanted to install cyanogenmod on it. I have experience because I have cyanogenmod on my S4 and TWRP custom recovery.
After I use Odin to flash the TWRP custom recovery to the phone, whenever I try to boot into recovery the screen just freezes and these lines and green film start to appear on the screen.
I have uploaded the picture of the phone trying to boot into recovery

There's literalyl 390248230948023948 variants of the S3 mini, fairly certain it is the SM-G730 confirm it on the model or in settings. Maclaw's recovery or any other recovery is not compatible with your phone, and as far as I know your phone does not have a recovery yet hence why it bootloops. You need to revert back to stock: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2530506&d=1390328847 and all shall be well. There's no active development on your phone as far as I know but do give this thread a visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469413&page=11
So can it be that I'm flashing the wrong twrp file? Because I'm flashing the wrong region?? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue and get it working?

It's because there is no TWRP for your device, there are no TWRP or CWM builds for the TELUS S3 MINI the ATT&T S3 MINI and the VERIZON S3 MINI.(as far as I know) Only solution is to compile it yourself, and that's quite involved but there are numerous guides out there.
I see.... Thanks anyways, I may try to compile my own, if I do get it working I will upload it here

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
TWRP is easier to compile after you got a working CWM recovery, as you only need to add in a couple of TWRP flags.
You need to run ubuntu natively or through virtual machine (VMWare, etc) and download the CM source code which may take a while depending on your internet speed (it's quite large about 15gb i think or so )
The same thing happened to me when I tried to install CWM for my s3 mini sm-g730w8( this is the Canadian version for telus) Boot into download mode (VOL DOWN+HOME+POWER) then just choose reboot device and it should be okay. If it still doesn't work then boot into download mode and then flash the stock rom via odin. Also regarding the custom recovery for our phone, even if you did port a working custom recovery the works for our phone, you won't be able to install it because our bootloader is locked; which is also why your screen turned green after trying to boot into your custom recovery. I found 2 possible solutions for flashing scripts and mods: kn0x0ut Toolbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550120 and Flash Gordon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 I haven't been able to try them yet but I think kn0x0ut toolbox is more reliable. I hope this helped
Hey guys, any info on this would be great.
Have a ATT Note 3... It boots into recovery and Download mode..
Basically, I was going to install knoxraid, wiped /system /data, but didn't have the rom file to flash.
Then, rebooted phone, and it will go into stock recovery but not safestrap.

What version of SafeStrap did you have installed ? 3.7.1 or 3.7.2
Dude. Wait. If you wiped system you have no rom..All you have to do is use your computer and download a rom and push to your sd card. Then use stock or recovery to flash. Lol. I did this on my nexus once. Anyway it's simple fix.

I would say you could revert to MJ5 link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715. Read it to the T. This will put the MJ5 4.3 back on your phone. You don't need safestrap to revert back to MJ5 method. You can root and install safestrap back on when its installed. Just do steps 1-9 if you don't want to root this method. don't worry about this download link ( https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb) i'ts just a mirror for the ml9 fix.image ext4.

Alright, I'll follow this eexact. I am not new to flashing and ROM mods. (Been doing it since the s2). I normally would push via ADB, use a custom recovery and be set. But, just picked up the note 2… and ADB wouldnt detect the phone to push ROM.. (Using ADB device). So, anyways.... I know I have to use ODIN. I know its not fubard because the phone boots into download and stock recovery mode.
Thanks everyone, I really want to get this fix. Luckily I have a nexus 5 as well.

We can't use the old way to get into our or past our bootloaders. If you follow everything on revert to MJ5 steps 1-9 that should give you bootable verse of MJ5 4.3. If you still want root and stay on MJ5 ok. If you want the next software fix then don't root yet then try to get the NB4 patch then you can root with Kingo 1.18.

Just don't reboot into recovery from any software.
Turn off the Tab and enter recovery with the 3 keys method (power+volume up+menu) and you will be able to flash anything in recovery and reboot into system.
Just DON'T EVER reboot into recovery using the "reboot into recovery" option on any software including power menu.
I have this issue for a long time, even when I was on 4.1.2 and that is how I got rid of the problem.

If you boot into recovery from off with the three buttoms... you can flash the 4.4.2 and it will load into system.

I did download ROM toolbox pro...i do notice there is a recovery option here. Is this the same thing as the TWPR recovery? Do I absolutely need TWPR recovery? really new to this so all and any info will help thanks!
Use an older version of Odin. I'm using 3.04 everyday. Yes you need a custom recovery.

Did you install Chainfire Root before trying to install TWRP. I have a short Odin video on YouTube I made for another member that you can check out. See if it helps you
http://youtu.be/hMOsw0RDeSQ
Remember that this was for a specific member and rom he was installing as far as the Firekat files. The Odin, chain root, and twrp will work for your needs. You might want to update the twrp to 2.8.4.
2.8.1 works fine for me so that what I have installed

make sure your file is a tar file and not an image, if it is good then I would try a different version of Odin as mentioned before. If still no luck I would definitely try a different file location to get the Download or a different version of TWRP. I have files that I know work if you need.
Hope we helped
Also when your loading in the pda slot it takes a minute to populate in the slot sometimes 60 seconds....
That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

To answer this question, are you planning on flashing ROMs? If not, I wouldn't worry about TWRP. Some people just like to ROOT and be on their way.

That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

Yeah I realized that when I loaded the chainfire file in odin. But after waiting 10 minutes for the recovery file , I figured something was wrong. If you can provide me with the recovery link that would be great. Its for the note 4 t mobile.
What version where you using?

okay here is the thing when I try to save this file to my computer it saves it as openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-trltetmo.img ...not openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-trltetmo.img.tar what gives?
That is the problem. Try adding the .tar to the end

Make sure that after it reboots you turn off your device. Hold volume up, power and the home button at the same time and go into recovery mode and back your device up. Leave what is x'ed off as is but I also back up the modem. Change the location of the back up to be saved to your SD card. Factory wipe, the advanced, checking off dalvik, system, data and cache. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL or SD card. Reboot your phone. Let it sit for 5 min on the welcome screen then enjoy

Okay so I figured out what was wrong..for some reason my winrar program was messing up the .tar file, so I deleted winrar and was able to do the recovery without a problem! Thank you for your help fellas I hit that thanks button as much as I could..lol. Okay so now I think I want to try out a rom but....I don't see any youtube videos of people showing off firekat rom for the note 4...is firekat compatible with the note 4?
Firekat is definitely compatible with the note 4. Here's the thread:

okay im about to install firekat....so im in recovery mode now I need to do factory reset correct before I install firekat? Which do I check in advanced ...dalvik cache...system..date...cache..??
I don't always clean install firekat, but mega does recommend it. Cache, Dalvik cache, and data.
