NOTE: Testers no longer required, now confirmed working for both kitkat and lollipop

This is for the T800/T805/T807 Exynos version only


Basically I have fixed some issues with the official build:

It is not possible to get root access to the shell with adb in the official version, you will get an error. I have fixed this as it is important for adb to be able to get shell access, you never know when it might be needed.

The reboot options have been corrected to change the reboot option from BOOTLOADER to DOWNLOAD . Reboot to Download mode now works.

TWRP still uses outdated Supersu and root files, so I have updated these to the latest versions.


Please use Odin 10.6 for installing: Odin 10.6

Anybody? just 2mins of your time. It won't brick your device. If it flashes with Odin and doesn't boot just reflash the official twrp or stock recovery.

Right this is silly. I'm gonna do a simple repack of the official twrp, no changes. Can you test that? If that fails then at least I know where the problem lies!

Of course I realise you are busy with other things so appreciate the time.:good:

I have reduced the size of the files below, the first one is slightly large than the second. I cant reduce any more without reducing functionality, so if the first one doesn't work the second should, but at least 2 of the main issues, the adb shell problem and wrong reboot option will be fixed in both.

twrp2860v2

thanks again.

I flashed the 2nd one, and it seemed to work. Matter of fact I just flashed my updated rom with it. Worked so far.

Thanks for taking the time to bring us yet another working TWRP...

Thanks for testing guys. First post updated with final version.
I'm curious as to what the size of the recovery partition has been changed to. Could someone run the following command either in Terminal or ADB if you're running Lollipop?:

cat /proc/partitions

The recovery partition size hasn't changed it's still 10mb -
2 10240 mmcblk0p10

The strange thing is, as a test I have somehow been able to flash a working 28mb recovery image to a 10mb partition under kitkat. Not sure how this is even possible! :eek:

Hey buddy. I've flashed your version in the first post ( which was updated in 6th April right? ) but I can't reboot into twrp. Any update on that?

Regards

    Good stuff, I have a feeling the lollipop update has changed the size of the recovery partition which is why it was being rejected.

    If the link below works then I will see if I can reduce the size, but could really need to know what size the new partition is.
