Hi
do I do this like this? I have TWRP 3.2.3.0 now.
adb push TWRP3.3.1.zip /sdcard
boot into TWRP 2.2...
select install
select the TWRP 3.3.1.zip
swipe to flash
Is this how it is done?

Yup that works. You can also download the .zip directly to the tablet.

When I do this how does a runnnign TWRP know where to put the 3.3.1 TWRP?
Worried not to screw the boot up of the tablet.
On another note: How do I back up the tablet with TWRT? Which partitions do I need to back up?

Thanks very much for this !! It is orders of magnitude better than the TWRP from the original.
Now I can actually backup and restore and access all the partitions.

I think I found a bug with twrp-mustang-3.3.1. with a fire 7 2019 and SDcard extended storage. To reproduce.
1. On the fire browser download SOD-fix-test.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=253
2. Reboot into TWRP
3. Install SOD-fix-test.zip from /sdcard/download
4. Using the file manager, Note the file 12wakelock_for_sod is NOT in /system/etc/init.d
5. Using the file manager, copy /sdcard/download/SOD-fix-test.zip to another location like /tmp
6. Install SOD-fix-test.zip from /tmp
7. Note now the file is correctly installed in /system/etc/init.d

Thanks! Backup and restore worked great! Been missing that for a bit now.

Don't flash that script, it is useless as described here and here. However I did create an app that holds an actual wakelock and also blocks wifi when the screen is off, vastly increasing stability.

Thanks for the warning that my example was an ugly hack/workaround. My point is not the script, the point was to report a bug. You don't have to use that file, it was just an example to highlight the problem with TWRP. If you install stuff to /etc from downloads the install will fail without warning the user.
This worked before, but I don't think I had an SDCARD installed at the time. So I think it's related to that.

Is there an austin build of TWRP?
If so, I cannot find it.

I think it is the same as the ford. The only real difference between them is the Wifi on austin has 5g. Test run it and see....

You can test, but make full backup and know how to recover soft brick by reflashing stock recovery/firmware.

tank you. But recover soft brick possible whit fastboot?

No, samsung disabled fastboot by default.

If I don't care about flashing in TWRP (yet) can I just flash recovery and see it running? (Basically is the wipe data optional)

I have SM-T870, After point #4, its just in the loop. Cannot get to recovery.

To clarify, US tab s7+ (SM-T970N) snapdragon requires the paid token unlock before this can be flashed?

I have rooted my SM-T870 by inserting Magisk into AP file and flashing it with odin. Only problem is that now i have in magisk A/B - NO. Which means my partitions are not flashed. I run into problems trying to execute some root programs where they crash since they dont have access to both partitions. Is there any way to root partition A/B?

Thank you for answer. If I root SM-T870 with Magisk via AP insert, is this considered full root ? or is this root like partial?

HOW TO BACKUP && RESTORE ON TWRP CORRECTLY
theincognito said:
Steps for backing up and restoring data in TWRP (Huge thanks to @BillGoss )
Remove any password/pin/pattern before doing this
Backup
In TWRP
Backup: Select only the Data partition.
Reboot System
Restore
In TWRP
If you skip this step you will not be able to successfully start the system after restoring data
Wipe>Factory Reset
Reboot System (this will rebuild the data partition)
Back in TWRP
Restore: Select the backup you want to restore
Reboot system
Note:
At this point the phone will take longer than usual to boot - that's normal
You will be presented with a blank screen or a toast message saying "com.android.phone keeps stopping."
Tap "Close app", hold the Power button down to be presented with the option to (Lockdown), Power off, or Restart. Select Restart
It may take a couple of restarts
If you want to backup and restore fingerprints too, follow the guide in the attached file

Why do we need to install new drivers with no signature?
Whats the problem with normal platform tools?

Can anyone confirm if could restore a backup successfully and what is the right order to restore every partition?

Do we have to use MSM Tool to format before installing? Also, did anyone successfully restore a nandroid backup?

If you run MSM you'll completely wipe your phone and relock the bootloader.

Development [RECOVERY] [11] [star/mars] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project

Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's 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.
Key Features:
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Easy selection of internal/external storage
In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.
We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

If you have made your own TWRP build for an unsupported device, please let us know. We might add your build to the list of unofficial builds. Bear in mind that we are working hard to add more devices and we may add your device to our official build list later.

please make a clear tutorial on how to fix the unable to mount/data
i removed the pin and password before fastboot boot twrp.img, go to advanced flash current twrp, and when i restart the device it goes to fastboot again.

So TB-8504F has a touchscreen issue where you need to sleep and wakeup recovery after it boots for touch to work. Like what @ZONTAC mentioned earlier. I was able to fix it on TWRP 3.6.2 that I built for testing. I would imagine it would work for PBRP as well. It does not affect TB-8504X which is why its not commonly seen. The F variant is not as popular. I have not tested it on 8504X mind you but I don't think that flag will be needed by it.

This flag kills the Himax touch until you lock and unlock on TB-8504F but strangely does not affect TB-8504X

Your recovery advertises that it supports both variants. That patch will fix the issue on TB-8504F, it should not change anything on TB-8504X but I don't have that version to confirm.

If you have build so i can test it on my tab(8504x)

Do You have any idea?
Freshly flashed stock, there everything works, but I cannot flash any ROM - tried both crDroid, RR and Ubuntu. Always same error.
Strange is it mounts system at first... And after formatting it can be mounted again, but than I got error, cos no image is there to be patched, I believe?

Follow proper processor
In your case :- if you are coming from stock , 1. mount system in stock recovery
2.flash pbrp/twrp
3. do factory wipe(or reset)
4. do advance wipe in which wipe system, cache, delvick ,data
5.after that flash system
6. Still having problem try d/f twrp or contact rom dev

Did a test boot without flashing. System starts but hangs on many tasks, even restarting to other modes hangs the system. My device reports as tb_8504x. I had problem with flashing through TWRP so I wanted to try PBRB.

Hello, I got PBRP to boot into recovery, I have OEM bootloader unlocked and USB debugging enabled. I'm trying to completely format the tablet to install LineageOS 18. When I wipe the process gets stuck on "Formatting system using mke2fs". It's been on it for about an hour now. Is that normal? The device is responsive. I can hold the power button down and get reboot options. I can force a reboot and get back into the recovery and try again but each time it gets halted at the format stage. What should I do?
