I'm trying to get into the bootloader to flash an older version of TWRP. I'm holding various combinations of buttons down when rebooting but the phone either goes to Recovery, Odin, or normal boot. The "bootloader" boot option in TWRP doesn't work either, it just goes to normal boot. What am I missing? I know for many phones the bootloader is accessed by holding VOL Down + Power when rebooting but that's not working on the Note 2.
Thanks.

I believe the reason why you can't boot into bootloader is because it has something to do with the Unlock Bootloader method/exploit. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say the exploit is not the standard unlock method so therefore you can't boot into the bootloader.
Also, you can flash a recovery a different way. Download the Goo.im Manager app in the Google Play Store and when you go in the app, you can search the recoveries and it will flash them from the app for you.

Hey, thanks for shedding some light on this. And I'm going to try flashing from the Goo.im manager, that sounds easier at this point, too.

No problem, man. Just make sure you flash the right recovery file because if you are broad on your search, it will give you a list of different recoveries for different devices. Search the version of TWRP you want with 'i605'.

Unfortunately there are no older versions of TWRP in the Goo.im manager app. This is off-topic from my original question but it's the reason I was trying to get into the bootloader in the first place. Do you know of any way to downgrade TWRP to a previous version on this phone other than the flashing from bootloader method?

Hm, you searched with i605, right? Well, I searched and found that on Goo.im, it is actually t0ltevzw.
Here are all the TWRP builds for the VZW Note 2 from Goo.im: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltevzw/
EDIT: Here's our device page on the TWRP website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/133
EDIT 2: If I were you, try not to flash a recovery using Odin. I wouldn't risk screwing up the unlocked bootloader exploit. Lastly, if you didn't know, do NOT in any way flash a custom rom using Odin. It's bad news for your phone.
Edited again because I forgot fastboot requires bootloader access lol
Hmm yes, searching the exact name "t0ltevzw" brought up TWRP 2.4.0.0, however it did not work and TWRP still reports as 2.4.1.0. I am trying to downgrade because this latest version is apparently giving me trouble with an MD5 checksum on the L4 modem zip. (the zip verifies correctly on the SDCard when checked from my PC).
I was thinking of just bypassing the MD5 check in TWRP since I'm able to verify that MD5 is correct through my PC, but I don't want to risk anything with a modem flash...it worries me that TWRP keeps saying the md5 is wrong.
I don't have adb set up yet so it seems now is going to be a good time. And thanks for the tips about Odin, I already knew this from the sticky in the Android forum, but it probably bears (a lot) of repeating haha

So the 2.4.0.0 is the version you want, correct? And which file of this recovery version did you download? If you tried downloading and installing using the Goo.im app, try downloading the zip file from your computer and transferring it over to your SD Card. From there you can reboot to the existing recovery, install it, and reboot the recovery.
If that doesn't work either, tell me and I can figure out a different option.

Actually, if I can I'd like to downgrade to TWRP 2.3.3.1, which was the version I installed back when I got the phone in December.
On Goo.im web site it is:
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-t0ltevzw.zip
It is my understanding though that you can't flash TWRP from within TWRP?

You can flash CWM in TWRP, TWRP in CWM, TWRP in TWRP, or CWM in CWM. All you need to do is flash it and then go to the recovery options and hit Reboot Recovery.
Where did you hear that you can't flash TWRP in TWRP?

OK, yeah, I was told in another thread that I couldn't flash TWRP with TWRP.
So, I just want to clarify, I can flash an older version of TWRP over an newer version of TWRP already installed -- as if I was flashing any regular .zip?

Yes, you can do that because it's going to completely overwrite the other version of TWRP. It doesn't matter what version you flash because it's going to be all on its own. The previous recovery doesn't benefit from a newer version of a recovery. You're safe to do it
EDIT: When I had my Galaxy Nexus, TWRP was brand spanking new so I had to downgrade a lot because of all the bugs presented in the later releases.

Well, TWRP verified the checksum and the modem installed successfully. But apparently it turns out the problem was not as it originally seemed.
When I downloaded the older version of TWRP, I opened its .MD5 file again just to check, and I noticed that the .MD5 files for the zips on Goo.im (or at least OpenRecovery's ZIPS) omitted the asterisk that precedes the filename:
Code:
d4624c4f8c9427b6137b2b97902e76b3 openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-t0ltevzw.zip
Whereas with other .MD5 files that I've created (including the .MD5 file for the modem zip that was failing verification in TWRP), I've used an asterisk before the filename:
Code:
d4624c4f8c9427b6137b2b97902e76b3 [B][COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR][/B]openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-t0ltevzw.zip
So after the modem flashed successfully on TWRP 2.3, I decided to try flashing it again (with the asterisk omitted from the MD5 file) on the latest TWRP 2.4.1.0. It flashed just fine. So the issue seems to be TWRP getting hung up on the asterisk that precedes the filename in MD5 files -- though this doesn't happen all the time because I've flashed many MD5 files with the asterisk successfully.
A bug in TWRP? Or maybe I shouldn't be using the asterisk at all. In any case, I'm back on TWRP 2.4.1.0 with the modem flashed.
EDIT: And I learned that you can flash TWRP in TWRP

I would bring that to their attention and see why that's the case on their recovery. Anyway, glad that everything is figured out and running perfectly. :good:

Yes I'm going to report it.
Take it easy.
Hello everyone,
I want to share my experience with rooting (n00b). So for the first time ever, I managed to root my g900t and my p-600 note --needless to say, I was very excited. When everything checked out and Root Checker told me that I was indeed rooted, the first thing I did was going to Youtube to see what I could do first.
The very first thing that came up was to create a Custom Recovery...fair enough. I watched multiple videos that guaranteed to install the CR "easily". Well, I think I'm an idiot because I couldn't get anything to work.
I tried TWRP, CWM, Philz Touch and TWRP and Philz both loaded on my recovery boot but I still kept getting messages on Rom Manager that I didn't have a custom recovery. At times I also got a lot of errors. I not only tried to get information from the forum but their respective sites and matching my device, installing it through flash & Odin--no luck.
Anyways, I soft-bricked both my g900t and my p600 and after reading hundreds of posts here and other forums and spending all day, I managed to get them running again.
Right now, I'm thankful that I have both devices running and rooted but I still don't know if I have a custom recovery and frankly, I'm scared to try it again. How important is it to get a CR?
By the way, is it bad that all those bad CRs that I installed are still there (if they are)?
I read the rules and also a a lot of forum posts with different variations of CRs for my devices with no luck.
For reference:
Galaxy s5 (5.1.1) Rooted SM-G900T
Samsung Note 10.1 (5.1.1) (Wi-fi) Rooted SM-P600
Thanks guys!
Flashing TWRP through ODIN is very simple - lots of guides out there, but here are some steps:
- Install Samsung Mobile Driver
- Download and unzip ODIN 3 (e.g, 3.1.0.7) to a directory
- Download twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar from twrp.me
- Boot phone into Download Mode (Vol Down - Home - Power), follow instruction to get to the download mode
- Connect phone to PC, wait for the drivers to be ready
- Start Odin, wait for "Added" message to show up
- Click AP and choose the TWRP tar file
- Go
Sometimes a trick is to uncheck "auto reboot", then flash it twice. That is, flash once, when completely done ("success" on Odin), disconnect and remove/replace battery, power up to boot mode again, then flash again. This is rarely needed but I've had to do this for modem flash once or twice in the past.
Alternatively, you can flash it on the phone from a terminal/cmd shell (lots of apps to choose from on Google Play), and if you have twrp.img extracted to /sdcard, you can do this (again, on the phone):
> su
# dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
The dd method is also doable from ADB shell, but that requires ADB to be set up on the PC.
Hope this helps - I wrote the steps the above from memory but others can correct me I stated anything inaccurately.
EDIT: there are also apps that can install custom recovery, such as Flashify, TWRP manager, ROM Toolbox, Nandroid Manager, etc. Of course, root is required.
many thanks

Thank you lost_,
my issue wasn't rooting the devices --they both are, it's getting a custom recovery installed. Neither TWRP nor CWM can find a recovery for my device (g900t). I've looked at countless posts with the same luck. At one point at recovery I had TWRP, which from what I was reading, it meant that I had a custom recovery, right? but again, TWRP and CWM say that I don't have one installed and when I tried to reboot out of recovery it would go into a boot loop forcing me to re-root my device. Basically, I'm stuck at this point and all I really want is to backup all my apps so that they run from my SD card, no coding, no custom roms but it gives me issues. Thanks again.

No offense intended, I think you're lost and confused. My post was never about rooting. I did understand you were rooted already. I was outlining how to install a custom recovery, which TWRP and CWM are. Yeah, if you're having a hard time sorting things out based on what I outlined, I don't know how else to get you going. Perhaps start over with your research and read up again on some basic Android 101 (not a HOWTO but an explanation on what is what). Good luck!
ps: this thread should be on the Q&A forum, but we're all helpful and friendly here and you should ask specific questions on that forum instead.
if you're using stock samsung recovery & its stock android, they will overwrite what you just flashed when they boot
odin->flash twrp WITHOUT reboot option->remove battery->put battery->turn on phone directly into recovery, you should see TWRP & you'll be able to flash whatever you want from here, i have no idea what happens if you boot to stock after this since i use CM
i came from stock 4.4 november 2014, used odin 3.07 & https://dl.twrp.me/klte/ 2.8.7.0

https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/209 i couldnt use heimdall either, but there is a patch in that thread that might work for you, you just have to recompile yourself if they didnt update the linux binary
if that still doesnt work, i think you should just use virtualbox to run windows7 & odin with whatever the option is called to have usb pass-through/direct usb access

i said to use odin, i have done it several times already, although some people say a newer odin is needed for lollipop based samsung installations... i mentioned 3.07 earlier, today i did 3.10.7 with the latest G900TUVS1FOL1 complete package from sammobile so i can update my baseband & bootloader easily, then once again odin->flash twrp without reboot->remove battery->boot into twrp recovery->flash CM
heimdall does not have the code update that supposedly fixes the PIT error in the official windows binaries, so heimdall will never work on windows unless you compile the fix yourself
(if using odin, always check the exe on virustotal, always get it from someplace reliable like sammobile or an active thread here rather than google)

I tried to flash TWRP using this guide: https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-3-1-root-ulefone-armor-6e/
I do everything step by step, but every time after rebooting to recovery there is not TWRP but only stock recovery. I have unlocked bootloader. The device is active using the "fastboot devices" command. USB debugging mode is ON. Please help me solve this problem
install Magisk then official twrp app and flash twrp from the app to recovery

The only way it worked for me was to install official twrp app, and flash twrp-3.3.1-0-Armor_6.img from the app to recovery, then click on reboot to rrcovery also in the app.
Twrp will only be available one time after the reboot (so it is not really flashed)
(Adb flash recovery doesn't work for me)
In order to use official twrp app, i rooted with magisk
U welcome
I'm confused now. How did you root with magisk without TWRP. The Magisk installation was basically the only reason for me to flash TWRP

Same as twrp
Install magisk app and do it from there:
Go to github website and download MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
From the apk you will be able to flash your boot partition with magisk (it will save a boot image flashed with magisk on your phone)
The second step is simply to transfer that .img on your computer, install platform tools (in order to use adb command line)
Launch cmd.exe in platform tools folder
Connect your phone to computer via a usb cable and usb debug enabled
Type the command "adb devices" to check if your device is recognised (if a window appear on your phone to enable connection click ok)
Then type "adb reboot bootloader" (you are now in fastboot mode)
Then type "fastboot flash boot (then the name of your flashed with magisk boot image.img that you previously put in platforms tool folder in order to not search for the path)"
Then type "fastboot reboot"
Then from magisk manager app update magisk
That's it
No need for a recovery in the first place to root with magisk
finally works. thanks you dude. I really appreciate your help

I also used that guide and couldn't get TWRP or Magisk to install on my new Armor 6E. I was able to use "Method 2" and SP Tool to flash TWRP 3.3.1-0, then I was able to flash Magisk using TWRP recovery.
I flashed Magisk-v20. 0(20000).zip
MD5 checksum: 56f82549e9f3c659a11f1f459e56489f
Now I seem to be stuck with the "Orange State" message at boot.
When I attempt to use TWRP to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip" I get the following :
-----
Installing zip file '[file path]'
Checking for Digest file...
Verifying zip signature...
Zip signature verified successfully.
##dm-verity and forced encryption disabler by jcadduono version 6.0##
Unpacking the installer...
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file' no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done
-----
The file has this MD5 checksum:
caea927e96c755f3568e85dbded88923
When I attempt to use TWRP to flash "orange_state_disabler_MTK Only.zip" I get the following:
-----
Installing zip file '[pathname]'
Checking for Digest file...
Verifying zip signature...
Zip signature verification failed!
Error installing zip file 'orange_state_disabler_MTK Only.zip'

That file has this MD5 hash:
30b01bb314d26643b6cc1dfce1d81cf5
I get nearly the same result when I attempt to install "ROMProvider.COM_orange_state_disabler 0.3.zip"
(Zip signature verification failed!)
That file also has the same MD5 hash:
30b01bb314d26643b6cc1dfce1d81cf5
TWRP asks for a password when I first boot into recovery. I also tried to contact them at the unofficialtwrp.com website (where I downloaded the zip files), but their contact page seems to loop back on itself.
Has anyone else run into this (and stuck with Orange State warning at boot)?

I was finally able to use TWRP 3.3.1 Install to flash file "ROMProvider.COM_orange_state_disabler_v0.3.zip" this morning and rid myself of the Orange State warning every single boot. NOTE: I had to UNCHECK zip file verification in TWRP Install in order to get it to work this time!!

The Orange State disabler zip is news to me, and it sounds worthwhile to flash.
I successfully flashed the DM-Verity zip from an OTG USB drive after using TWRP to format the system and data partitions to EXT4. No success with ROMs yet.

The 6 and 6E are very similar devices. The TWRP listed here works on the 6E. Magisk also works as described.
I cannot confirm for the 6 (but is likely), but the 6E works with all phh-based GSI ROMs.
These phones use A/B images.

Can't post links even when quoting so you just have to google "treble project github"
I have gotten roms to work (use A/B even if treble check says its only A for somereason).
I wasn't able to get liniageOS to work (from the pie roms, i think everyting else seems to work) and android Q ones even thou it should be able to from what i have gathered.
IMPORTANT! It seems like every rom is missing basic features like gestures, i dont know if it has to do with the kernel maybe? Im nubie.
VERY IMPOTANT!! Lost my IMEI number from messing around with the phone so be careful! Im not responsible.

Would it be possible to get an MD5 checksum and filename which worked for you so that I might compare them? Did you get that file from the unofficial twrp page linked above then? Also were the "system and data EXT4 partitions" on the phone Internal Storage or the USB OTG?

I just ordered this armor 6e phone. I will be able to answer my own question next week, I suppose. Bit, in the armor 6 thread it is mentioned few times that there twrp works on 6e, now I found this thread, which says twrp will not stay flashed to phone.
Which one is correct?
If the armor 6 twrp does work, does it work to flash gapps? Because the y is not pie, and as such is not system-as-root, which from other devices, I know that makes recovery see the phone file structure different
Ie : /system_root/system not just /system
This difference needs different build of twrp.
I will give it a try when I receive it I suppose.

First maybe try out the unofficial TWRP (https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-3-1-root-ulefone-armor-6e/) maybe it works. I think i didnt get it to stick but its worth a shot ig and you can also try with the TWRP app (havent tried the app way). Sadly i dont remember where i got the file that sticks for me. If unofficial dosent work i can upload it to somewhere. I used ADB tools to download TWRPs. If you use SP tools to flash it while like doing a fresh install. It will go to RED state. You can use SP tools if you first install stock then unlock bootloader and flashing then only installing the recovery. You can install gapps mostly but u cant use dm veryeti disabler it messes with the IMEI at least for me. Im not that savy to know how to fix it. Its my first phone ever messing with. MAGISK works.

Thanks. I looked at unofficial, and unpacked there image. It is set to terrible enabled = no, and is not setup for system-as-root.
Also the prop file says it is for armor 6 not 6e, so I will just build fresh one and use that.

My phone is still not delivered. But I did compile twrp from source, using the September update files from ulefone site.
I started with the device tree from the armor 6, and made few changes that I have found to work for treble devices and system as root on other recent mtk phones I have.
But I can't confirm the build works. If you want to beta test it, let me know.
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.

Installation
Download version .tar when you haven't a TWRP installed and you are coming from stock ROM and flash it via Odin in download mode. NOTE: Un-check Auto-reboot option in Odin, install tar file (it has to be placed in AP section) and after reboot manually in recovery mode with vol+, home and power buttons. This because otherwise you'll come back to stock recovery.
Download version .img when you have a TWRP installed. Simply, from home, go in install -> install image -> select your .img file -> press recovery as partition where you want to install it -> swipe to flash -> reboot system.
Download version .zip if you have an old TWRP. (you can install a .img or .zip file, as you want)
Bugs/Issues
Encryption with password isn't supported, so don't set the secure boot or put a password at the boot of the device
Time/date is wrong when /data is wiped, since it takes the right time from /data/vendor/time/ats_2
On matissevewifi, reboot > recovery button reboots into system. To reboot in recovery, type reboot recovery in twrp terminal, or adb reboot recovery through PC

milletwifi SM-T330NU recovery not working on my tablet. I get "could not do normal boot" after installing on fresh install android 5.1.1

TWRP Flash on SM-t330nu
I've had TWRP (various versions) on my SM-t330nu for quite a while and am thrilled that we have newer rom's and TWRP's for our devices. When Matteo0026 started building his newer TWRP's I had a few problems with the "unified" version he released, but he went back to the drawing board and corrected those problems. Several weeks ago I successfully flashed the 3.3.1-0 build through the TWRP that was previously on my tablet and have had no problems. I do have to say, however, that I am not certain I am using the absolutely newest TWRP version since the build name has not changed, but since I am having no problems I am leaving well enough alone!
I get the could not do normal boot error on my SM-T330NU, I've tried flashing through Odin, and installing through TWRP. I can't seem to make this work. I can flash 3.0.3.0 and it works fine, but won't let me user newer roms.
I did flash the 3g TWRP and that will work, but I don't wanna mess around with loading roms that aren't for my model.
Edit: Got it working, had to flash this https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=49346 Via Odin 3.09, rebooted, flashed it again inside of twrp, rebooted and installed this https://build.twrp.me/twrp-3.3.1-0-milletwifi.img
That twrp-3.3.1-0-milletwifi.img worked without error.
Thank you,

It was the only way to get working the twrp in my sm t330 tab 4 millet wifi. No luck with the provided tar or img to this model. I tryed to flash inside the twrp the new img, but not worked as well.
I installed lineage 16 and gapps, but now the tablet does not turn off. when I plug the usb power it turns on and start booting, no.matter the way to force power off... just when battery runs out. Any idea to fix?

here's my question about first installing twrp 3 an then 3.3.1. i saw a youtube video on installing twrp 3.0 img file with flash fire an then that way the guy got twrp 3.0 installed then updated to 3.3.1. so i am wondering can that be done or not. We need to first install the twrp tar with odin 3.0.9. i would like to know best approach so that i can get this installed this weekend and then install the lineage rom to the device.i am very excited to se development on these sort of tablets where as the nexus 9 tablet does not have any more development past 14.1.

You can go to 3.0 and after to 3.3.1-0 by flashing the img file in recovery. In this way, the old recovery is overwritten.
Ok, I uploaded milletltetmo .tar TWRP. Sorry to be late. Happy flashing!
is this an updated twrp 3.3.1 or the same one that was linked to a few posts back.

Hi guys, I uploaded .zip file of the TWRP (it's the same last build of these last months) for who needs to flash it easier with another custom recovery, maybe coming from an old version of TWRP.

i tried to install matissewifi on my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Wifi but now it's not booting into recovery. Directly going to download mode when trying to boot to recovery. I had TWRP 3.0.0 installed. First tried from TWRP. Then 2nd time tried with odin with no luck.

If you can't extract and re-compress the files yourself, then you don't have to use them, and that's my opinion.

What do you mean extract and re-compress? The guide over here mentions nothing about needing to re-compress or extract anything.
Edit: To anyone stuck like myself. I solved it with this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-q-complete-guide-for-the-a20-a205xx.4095589/
My guess is it's something to do with vbmeta.img and boot.img not being included with the new TWRP tar. should Re-compressing a new tar file with those files included in the tar as recovery.tar might solve the issue, though I cannot verify as I'm fine with the working older TWRP.

Knowledge is to be passed on, not to be kept to oneself forever.
Trust me, if I didn't make attempts at figuring it out myself, I wouldn't have bothered asking questions. I also ask questions to avoid breaking my devices, as I'm not one who can just go buying a new phone whenever I please.
I may be the first one asking questions about this, but I won't be the last. Maybe create a better-worded guide and you won't have to deal with such people.

download the recovery from the post above from @physwizz (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-official-recovery-for-a20-and-a20e.4267815/post-86192489), and the latest official TWRP recovery, pick up the vbmeta.img inside the compressed .tar from the first one and put it inside the official TWRP compressed one.
It worked for me. (SM-A202F)

You can also do it by patching the full ap file and flashing that via odin before you use the official TWRP
