How To Guide [Close] Stock A13 + GSIs A13

[Skorpion96]

Description: TWRP boots fine, everything mounts fine. Everything else is good except when I try to backup prism partition or super partition. It reboots when it progresses so far. Recovery,boot,etc..all backup without issue.

List Of Things: i have tried checking my mountpoints in my fstab file, and my twrp.flags. I'm thinking it might have to do with the kernel maybe, a second opinion would be great.

Are you on android 11? twrp only boot there, or do you have twrp for android 12?

Has someone been able to build this stupid recovery? How?

 

[Skorpion96]

i made another gsi, also i flashed it with a version of odin for linux, i found it here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/official-samsung-odin-v4-1-2-1-dc05e3ea-for-linux.4453423/
i'll upload the gsi on my mega, link on a previous comment
**** it is not booting
found another that works, i have uploaded it
btw why always external sdcard is bugged on A13 GSI's?

Has someone been able to build this stupid recovery? How?

it's a .lz4 recovery ? need unpacked

heimdall is much better than that odin

heimdall is much better than that odin

it is .img, anyway idk i had difficulties installing heimdall, so i went for odin, and let me tell you, this version is great.
Edit: i got it, i renamed recovery to recovery.img, uploaded to transfer.sh here is the link (T220-A12):https://www.mediafire.com/file/gu6scemkfdoijev/T220_A12-Patched-Recovery.zip/file
T220 A13 Fastboot Patched recovery:https://www.mediafire.com/file/2g6i6pv7empj9z2/SM-T220_A13_fastbootd-recovery.tar/file
T225 A13 fastboot patched recovery:https://www.mediafire.com/file/bjr1x9broklnh8n/T225_A13-Patched-Recovery.zip/file
also there is a good mirror to patch recovery if you need (easier to use since has a gui):https://tmpfiles.org/
Another thing, i was successful flashing with fastboot this:Xtended-XT-13_arm64-bvN-lite-UNOFFICIAL.img.xz you can download from internet directlty. Seems that the time of converting images is over. Personally now only thing I want to do is disable zip verification on stock recovery to root GSIs from it and so I asked the dev of the fastboot recovery patching tool to add it, obliviously I don't know if he will but I hope. Anyway @tom.android maybe we should make a new post for the fastboot recovery and fastboot flashing for our tab but potentially for every Samsung, giving credit to the creator of the tool and @Zillion for the idea.
Also since Christmas passed a few days ago i made a video of the whole process of porting recovery, flashing it through odin4 cli, and flashing a gsi from fastboot:

Another thing, i got gsi working on A13 firmware on my T220 (cherish os A13 with phhh superuser)@tom.android
