Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Update 17/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
Features:
MTP working
ADB working
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 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
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.
How we got here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-time-to-getting-support-a8-2016-sm-t3511148
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
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.
DOWNLOAD:
TWRP: twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-a810f_17417
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patch

Awesome work dear if i able to buy a beer for you i must buy it

First, thanks boss @ashyx for great work. If you remember, I was first who asked yoi for twrp for this good phone. In meantime I bought it, and you make twrp. I tried it immediately and got this results :
Maybe it is important that I first done ota to newest offered AQA1 update.
Than odin flash twrp. All ok. Reboot to it and format data from wipe menu.
Hot error cant mount pcifs (maybe different name, I forgot, I can see again sorry).
Then flash supersu and patch and got same error, pcifs?
Root is working perfect but mount not. I back in twrp and see mount, it sees data. But tried some twrp install zip and got same error. And no app.
So obviously it is not mounted good...
Is there solution?
Thanks biggest

It's a protected partition so it can't mount. I should just remove it from the fstab.
You can just ignore it.

Thanks boss, so this is 100,% functional terp I can totally believe in backups and everything else?

I'd suggest installing the ADB drivers whilst in recovery mode.
Check device manager has detected it as an ADB device.

Does rooting require a permissive kernel?

Rooting doesn't, custom recovery might.
I don't know yet until someone reports.
I was able to both flash TWRP with Odin as well as root the device.
I was not able to mount /data in TWRP however.
I couldn't use adb shell while in recovery due to a libc.so not found error. ADB did work in the Samsung provided Android 6.0.1.
I've attached the recovery log as well as the kernel log.

I'm not sure, but could this be caused by enabled encryption
As far as I know Android devices which are sold with 6.0.1 by default need to be encrypted

Thanks for testing and posting the logs. @York2k16 Correct the error mounting data is because of encryption. Twrp is unable to find the encryption key.
It's true Android 6 devices are encrypted by default, but don't need to be.
Work around for now would be not to use encryption until I find the solution.
The issue with adb is because of Samsungs stock kernel.
I need to recompile it with root protection removed.
Unfortunately no sources are available as yet.
Well at least we have a working recovery and a root solution.
Can you confirm a few things:
UI orientation, portrait or landscape?
UI colour?
All other options and features working correctly?
Thanks, well done for probably being the first in the world to have a rooted S2 VE 8.0

Few weeks ago I've tested the T813 and returned it back after a few days. I'm going to buy the LTE model soon or when the prices go down a bit.
Checking the security settings menu I've realized that there is no option for enabling/disabling device encryption, only SD encryption.
@dalingrin: Is this the same case on your device?
This "issue" would open up another question: How do I decrypt a device, which is encrypted by factory default, but doesn't offer any options to disable/enable encryption?
TWRP does not work properly on T813. I am unable to use it because can not click on buttons

you need to format the data partition in TWRP to remove encryption.

[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL][kagura] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2016-10-08]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

}
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
DOWNLOAD:
Device specific page including instructions for a manual install

BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

Sent from my F8332 using Tapatalk
Can someone post a detailed instruction please? I followed the TWRP instructions but kept getting stuck on "waiting for devices" on fastboot. I tried several different drivers suggested in other threads but none worked for me
@AndroPlus Do we need an unlocked bootloader for this?
Yes we do.
@AndroPlus, please maybe you can give some hint. I unlocked the bootloader (worked), when I installed TWRP with fastboot and the installation seemed to be sucessful, but I cant boot into TWRP. During boot I'm pressing vol+, but nothing happens. Even the LED shows no light during boot. What I did wrong or what can I do to boot into TWRP?
edit: problem solved I installed your kernel with: sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
and now I can boot into TWRP and LED during boot shows light. Seems to be a really great kernel.

1. Turn your device off.
2. At the same time, press the Power button and Volume down until your device vibrates.
3. Quickly release the Power button, but keep pressing Volume down (5 sec or more).

Thank you, this method worked too.
@AndroPlus will that work with the dual Sim version F8332 also?

yes
Thanks a lot for your great amazing efforts @AndroPlus, is there any need to unlock the bootloader prior to rooting or flashing TWRP? And if yes, is it simply booting into fastboot and running the command "fastboot oem unlock" or enabling it from the Developer Options?

You have to enable oem unlock in developer options and run "fastboot oem unlock", then flash my custom kernel.
Because of strict security, we have to edit kernel to disable sony_ric and dm-verity to root if you want to custom /system.
If you can use system-less SuperSU you don't need to flash custom kernel.
Restore bug?
I just restored my backup and IMEI was gone. So the backup as such works fine besides the IMEI. Consequently I couldn't connect to the mobile network. I had to flashtool the original rom and restart the whole process.
Anyone else experienced such a problem?
I've repacked the 250 stock kernel with everything (except twrp, indeed). I use your recovery, and it works fine so far. But from system, I can't boot into twrp directly (e. g. from Titanium Backup or NeoPowerMenu).
For any help thanks in advance!
Hi, I flashed the twrp.img, but when I tried wipe or install rom to xperia XZ, I got can't unmount system, 'device or resource busy' error. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks

No boot in recovery
Problem: Unlock done and OK, flashed TWRP and OK. But I cannot boot in TWRP. Not with buttons, not with adb. I see only the message, that my device is unlocked.... The LED ist dark.
Today I flashed the kernel v4 and Ok, flashed TWRP again and ok, same result. No boot in recovery. Only the f***in message that my device is unlocked, Firmware is..... . 260 and a German xz single Sim.
Any Idea? Sorry for my poor English.

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADB BACKUP:
https://www.droidorigin.com/take-adb-backup-using-twrp-v3-1-0-0/
Update 12/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY IN THE TESTING STAGE, THERE MAYBE BUGS, IT MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL. I DON'T OWN THIS DEVICE. I CAN'T FIX ISSUES IF PEOPLE DON'T POST RECOVERY LOGS OR PROPERLY DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. STOCK RECOVERY IS PROVIDED BELOW IF NEEDED.
Features:
MTP working > to be confirmed
ADB working > to be confirmed
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 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
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.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
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.
DOWNLOAD:
TWRP: twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-a720f_12417
Stock recovery: A720FXXU1AQC5_stock_recovery
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patch

OK just looked at the log and I don't see any issues or reason why SuperSU would fail.
Maybe try a different version of SuperSU?

Tried 2.79 sr2 but still nothing.
Trying 2.78 to see if it works or not
---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------
Tested 2.78 and 2.77 beta.
2.78 reboots back to twrp.
2.77 reboots back to system.
I think it can't log what happened cause it just reboots on the process of flashing superSU.

So it seems the issue is with SuperSU and may be one for Chainfire to look at.
Considering the boot image patcher installs fine, proves that zips are working.
I'm going to have a look at the supersu install script before I raise it as a bug.

You can try installing system mode supersu. It may install, but I will need to manually patch the boot image .
Make a backup of your boot and system partition then install the version of SuperSU below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
Flash the patched boot image with ODIN or TWRP. If your device had encrption disabled you will need to flash no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx again afterwards to disable encryption.

System mode SuperSU tries to install a lot shorter now, stops and reboots at "Installing" or something, too fast I can't read it.
I have also flashed the patched boot image and for some reason flashed no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx again.
This is the recovery.log

That log contains nothing regarding supersu. You should go to ADVANCED> SAVE LOG after running supersu or does twrp automatically reboot?
Can you also open TWRP terminal and see if you get the ~# prompt then type getenforce and report the output.

After typing getenforce, the terminal outputted "Permissive".
Does the recovery log overwrite itself when turning on the phone? If I can pull the recovery log right before it automatically reboots, is it possible to see the problem?

The recovery log changes each time recovery is booted into.
If it's auto rebooting it would be difficult to catch it as it may not catch the error.
You can use the command below with ADB to try and grab it before it reboots.
Disable MTP then do:
adb devices
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
There are also alternatives to get root.
You can try PHH Superuser.

Magisk Manager confirms that the device is properly rooted and I have backed it up by using Root Checker Basic and by
Code:
adb shell

Thank you very much.
I am wondering however what are the differences between PHH and Magisk, it seems that Magisk is more popular so I strongly went for that first. Being someone who only knows SuperSU, how do these installers differ?
At this point do I still need to install the patched-root-boot and no-verity-no-encryption? I have installed no-verity-no-encryption before doing the root.

Magisk and phh are both open source.
You don't need the root patch. If you want to keep your data unencrypted then you will need to flash the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx patch.

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Update 12/4/2017
TWRP 3.1.0-1 MM build released.
Current status: BETA
NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY IN THE TESTING STAGE, THERE MAYBE BUGS, IT MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL. I DON'T OWN THIS DEVICE. I CAN'T FIX ISSUES IF PEOPLE DON'T POST RECOVERY LOGS OR PROPERLY DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. STOCK RECOVERY IS PROVIDED BELOW IF NEEDED.
Features:

Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 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
Issues:
Current versions of SuperSU seem to be incompatible.
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.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
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.

Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

Any chance you can you test the patched version of SuperSU below?
Please save the recovery log file afterwards.

Fancy meeting you here
I've got magisk already but I'll try to flash this and report back with the recovery log.
Off topic question though,
Has there been any successful attempt at removing the knox counter on new samsung phones (S7, A2017, C2017 etc..)?

No, it can't be done. This is one thing that Samsung make sure of. I've seen certain websites and procedures claiming they can, but I know of no recent Samsung device that can be reset.
@ashyx will you make a version for the A5?
@ashyx
Ok, I've been reading and watching videos on Magisk, which I have never heard of before, so now I have a more informed opinion of it. It's interesting, but there definitely are some red flags, particularly with version 12 (as per reviewers). I might give it a shot, even though I still think SuperSU is more reliable and stable.
As for the patched SuperSU, was it patched by Chainfire or by you?

Blimey you don't trust anyone! It was patched by me, honestly I won't steal your bank account details.

Lol. It's not about that, I just like to be well informed. Among other things, now I know, for example, that when Chainfire updates its app (say, to 2.80), the ZIP might still be unflashable, due to the patched version being yours, not theirs, thus, rendering their official download page pretty much useless to A7 users.
I don't have a Windows device, so I'll update you when I can.
Thanks.

Yeah, none at all. I always have to go to a lanhouse, or ask someone to use theirs.
Unfortunately, we still need Windows for a lot of things, even when we don't want/have it anymore. Hopefully someday you guys will create methods where neither root nor Odin are needed to flash custom recoveries.
Oh, and I reinstalled the stock ROM when SU failed, so that's why.
See you soon.
@ashyx
Hmm.. I tried flashing the patched SuperSU but the same thing happens. It automatically reboots at "extracting files". Guess I can't provide a useful recovery.log
I restored back to my old root and I just recently discovered that magisk has some downloadable modules. Some worked but the xposed sdk23 87.1 says its been installed but doesn't appear on the modules and rebooting doesn't do a thing. I guess, help?
@moistcity
Because you're already rooted, you can probably install the Xposed sdk (if you have a Samsung, get the patched sdk, by Wanam, to avoid bootloops) directly (via TWRP) and then the Xposed installer (manager) on Android.
As for making it work within Magisk, @ashyx might know, I can't help you there as I am yet to try and know Magisk firsthand. I don't know if Magisk (modules segment) and Xposed installer can coexist, but you never know ('til you know).
Try installing the Xposed installer and see if the module you installed from Magisk shows up on the former.
Assuming they can coexist (and flashing the sdk via TWRP on a device with Magisk won't trigger bootloops), you can just install Xposed the traditional way then, unless you absolutely want the Magisk module to work. Before doing the traditional method, look up for information on coexistence, before risking it.
Will it work for A7 - SMA700FD ??

Official TWRP App
Mar 11, 2017
Official TWRP App
The official TWRP app is the first and only first-party app developed by Team Win for TWRP. Please bear with us as we work to fix any bugs and build out the features. The initial version of the app does not support flashing on the Pixel due to the Pixel's A/B partition layout. In addition, the app may not support finding and flashing images from external storage locations. We are working hard to improve these items and bring you more new features.
Download Links:
We recommend downloading the app from the Play Store.
If you do not have Play Store access, you may download the Official TWRP App here: https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
How do I use the app?
When you first open the app, you will be greeted by a few options. First, you will need to agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens to your device while using the app. You may also grant the app root permissions. The app will work without root, but some functionality like image flashing will be disabled. Lastly, you can opt into enabling InsightCore (more on this feature later).
Once you have passed this initial screen, you will be greeted with the app home screen where you can choose TWRP FLASH or NETWORK STATISTICS (more on the network statistics later). On the TWRP FLASH screen you will need to select a device. Once you have selected a device, the app will periodically check for new TWRP versions for the device that you have selected. The default interval is once per day, but you can tap on the settings icon in the upper-right to change the interval or disable the update check entirely.
If you enabled root access, you will see options for selecting an image and buttons for flashing the selected image to boot or recovery. Note that you should flash TWRP images to recovery. The boot image flashing is for flashing full boot images (not just kernel zImages) and should not be used for flashing TWRP.
Features:
MTP working > to be confirmed
ADB working > to be confirmed
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 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
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 vesrion .or above
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
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.
DOWNLOAD:
[MOD EDIT] Link removed
If you already have custom twrrp recovery to a lower version put img file from link below on your external sdcard and flash with flashify ap from play store or directly from Twrp with Install Image and tap recovery
[MOD EDIT] Link removed
To Root:
Chainfire SUPERSU v2.82
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
or MAGISK 13.3 and magisk manager 5.1.1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage (/DATA):
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install root (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot

Hi @vocoderism
Have you switched phone from A510 to A520 now?
Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk
Sure development for a520 a510 broken
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Is it possible to just boot and not flash the recovery?
Many thanks, works a treat. I finally have a TWRP backup.
Great job! everything is working like a miracle!
At first MTP & ADB didn't worked for me (Windblows 10 Creators update build ver. 10.0.15064), but after a lot of trials and errors I've finally managed to get It working.

Thanks again.

I'm having a similar issue. got up to:
Turn the phone off
Hold power + home button and volume up to enter the recovery .
Dont swipe to allow modifcations!! use read only!
Flash Supersu and after that reboot to android.
Also download the No-verity-no-encrypt Patch made by Ashyx and put it on your sdcard ( not internal )!!!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424951049
I'm guessing installing no-verify-no-encrypt patch is the decrypt? How do I install it (read only, allow modifications?). My phone is now rooted due to previous steps, but I still get the failed to mount message.

WARNING: You must backup your data first. this procedure will wipe your data. (As instructed in the link I've attached, just read it and follow carefully).
Flash the dm-verity patch as any other zip.
After you flash the dm-verity patch you'll have to format your phone, otherwise, your phone will never get decrypted. to do so, in TWRP you must choose wipe>format data. then it asks you to type 'yes' for safety measures, just type yes and that's It.
