[RECOVERY] Best TWRP Recovery

Hey guys I'm pretty new to this device. So I need a little advice of the already familiar users here. I'm pretty sure that each developer worked really hard to build their following recoveries for our device that's why I don't want to be disrespectful by asking this.
I've seen 3 twrp builds till now
1.Official one.
2.Blue spark one.
3.Twrp in the unified toolkit.
So out of all these which one has most of the things working and has least bugs?

blu spark is best

Use the latest from Bluspark, it's updated and works fine.
Sent from Funk Tuned 3T

Unified 3.0.4-1,official 3.1.1-0,Blu_spark recovery,
All work fine.

General EXYNOS S21 series - TWRP and root

As some of you know s21 source is out, it is possible to build custom recovery and obtain root.
Actually ordinary magisk root method is not working for us: patched boot image does not boot...no old method is working.
I asked a skilled developer, @afaneh92 (he already made custom twrp for galaxy phones in past) to help us but at present he does not have the phone so what he builds is actually tested just by me.
WHAT WE NEED
- many alpha tester (if many people help us we can test things almost intanctaneily)
- some good ideas from other skilled developers
- someone who can make a "BOUNTY" so we can encourage development
I have made a telegram group forstarting this adventure and to share real time our progresses.
https://t.me/joinchat/H7UFBxjpms2aubmO
devs and testers u are welcome!

Work in progress...

Nobody knows how to make a bounty?

Nobody interested?

Im interested just not sure how to help...ive tried everything on sm-996B.. have joined the chat..

any progress?

Ending my support

Guys i am officially ending support to the axon 10 pro, I have upgraded to a samsung s20fe 5g, i will no longer be maintaining any of my roms, it has been a blast, and i have learned a lot, it was a pleasure giving this community some awesome roms, the last few weeks i tried to build a a11 rom, a lot of the sources arnt able to compile, the one that would work in theory the best for us would be havoc OS since they still support los fod 1.0 , i wanted to go out with a bang but seems like that wont happen, i hope someone else pick ups where i left of, if there enough interest i can post a basic guide with the build bot script i use to build Sgsi, i wish you all the best of luck.
Stay awesome people

I'm no longer on 10 pro, but let me say one milion thanks for all you did for this device, you made this phone better.
Slán

Thank you for the hard work. I would like to take on the challenge but I am busy with university and have no experience in messing with roms. However, I do want to know if its possible to be able to update the security patch and if so, I would like to learn how. If that can be done, I wouldn't mind keeping up with the security patches.

Hi Rafyvitto,
Do you think there is a chance to get A11 working on the A10pro?
Would be great if any developer will work on the ZTE phone.
Or is it possible to flash any GSI out there which is available since the device supports treble?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply, to be honest im unsure that our old android 9 vendor(los16) can boot anything past android 10, i tried some android 11 gsi's way back when they started coming out none worked, our vendor probably would need to be messed with to boot android 11, im currently on a locked bootloader device so ive been out of the scene for a while, check phh telegram channels and see if people have booted a11 with android 9 vendor/kernels, sorry i cant help further than this.
Also: If they do manage to boot, fingerprint reader will be broken, among other things, like i said our vendor would need to be fix for a11.

All the best

Question Can I flash mojito when im on rosemary with my bootloader unlocked?

The development of the rosemary is slow and I wanna install evolution x, but the unofficial version is only for mojito/sunny. Im scared that its going to brick/softbrick my phone if I do this. Will it brick if I install an official rom with mojito from xiaomifirmwareupdater?

Incompatible. Bad idea.

What would happen?

Is it a instant brick? Or will it be very buggy and slow? I only want to this due to there not being a supported twrp version for rosemary, and no custom firmwares. And no custom recovery. Only twrp version is for engineers and developers.

A ROM built specifically for another device won't work. If you want a custom ROM on Rosemary I would suggest learning about flashing GSI ROM using fastboot until ROMs specific to Rosemary are built which currently there are none that are released here on XDA

Does unofficial twrp have a rosemary twrp? Also does it increase fps? Im trying to get a light one like corvos. Since I have to be cautious cause my older device bricked when trying to install a custom rom

Yes unofficial TWRP is being built for Rosemary but it is in very experimental beta stage and is under heavy development. It will not give you miraculous fps increase

A slight one? Or just no? If no then il still check it out.
Should I use twrp? Or might it brick my device, or is it ready to install and factory reset?

Im not very experienced with mods all I need is a custom rom, root, twrp or a custom recovery and a custom boot screen. Does GSI give a custom boot screen? Or is it very slight changes?

Woah! It looks very nice, but, no custom recoveries? Stable? Or just twrp under heavy development?

If you are a novice do not install anything that is beta. To answer your main concern regarding FPS, the hardware is still the same regardless of ROM or TWRP.
Your options are limited to:
1. [Minor Factor] Google how to debloat MIUI using adb. This will free up resources marginally but not affect your fps by much
2. [Major Factor] Your FPS count is limited by how much heat is trapped causing the GPU+CPU to throttle. Cooling the phone while gaming like an attachable fan can work like it does on ROG phones. Get creative on cooling your phone rather than bricking a perfectly working one

Yes I know, but I find twrp easier than adb and fastboot tools. Its ok if it doesnt give me more fps, the important thing is that it doesnt decrease.

All I need is a custom recovery now. Do you recommend anything? Or there arent any?

https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-5-2-root-redmi-note-10s/
Is this the same twrp posted on this form? Or is it a 3.5.2 that is stable?

No official TWRP exists yet for Rosemary.
My suggestion is to wait until official TWRP recovery is made available. Keep a watch on the sub-forum for this device for any official news and releases until then

I used unofficial twrp on my samsung. That worked fine. Do all releases on unofficial twrp have to be stable? My samsung never bricked. So should I give it a shot and let you know? Also, do I need to flash disable encryption? with unofficial?
I dont know fi this sounds dumb but, im quite a noobie so, Does verify opt encrypt have to release for different phones? Or can I just flash the one on sourceforge?

STOP REPLY TO THIS THREAD !!! IT IS BULL**** !
Please moderator, close this !!!!

Dude, stop being so harsh im new to this stuff,
anyways, does this work as a gsi rom for rosemary? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-unofficial-11-pixel-experience-pixel-experience-plus.4269051/

SO IN A NUTSHELL, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR THIS DEVICE?

You can't flash roms meant for different devices with different hardware, it will brick your device. It sounds like you don't know much about the processes so I suggest you start by reading some of the many great guides on the XDA forums first.

Request helping with understanding the custom ROMs for Note 9 (SM-N960U)

Hey XDA Forums, first time poster but long time reader & custom ROM fan.
A friend gave me an old Note 9 w/ the SnapDragon 845 SoC. Its screen is busted so it's getting serviced under Samsung's $50 program right now. When it gets back I'd like to install a custom ROM on it but I've been lead to believe that working around/through Samsung+Qualcomm devices is generally much more difficult than other phones. My experience is rooting, flashing, and installing Lineage OS or Pixel Experience ROM on some other devices: Pixels, a Xiaomi Mi A1, and two Exynos Galaxy phones (one A5, one M20). All of these devices have very clear, straight forward How Tos by the respective groups that maintain those projects. I had a BLU phone w/ a MediaTek SoC that I bricked because I was just fumbling my way through trying to flash it from some random forums out there.
So, for this Note 9 I'd like to make sure I have the general order of operations correct and what ROM projects (if any) are out there.
1) Make sure phone is updated to Android 10
2) Install TWRP
3) Download ODM.
4) After wipe & factory reset install ODM.
5) Install custom ROM.
If the above is correct, are my only options for reliable ROMs the ones listed in the Note 9 Snapdragon ROMs/Kernels forum? https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
Are there any good/trustworthy Samsung enthusiast forums (hopefully ROM-focused) that anyone is able to point me to?
Thanks a ton everyone, I appreciate your time.

There's a telegram group for S9/Note9 Snapdragon roms/kernels stuff. I can't find it now. I'll share when I found it.
