FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version and only if you don't plan to boot rooted with TWRP (some kernels deliver root prebuilt in kernel), or Rollback protection will kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.

Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.

Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.

Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.

Q: How to format data partition?
A:

Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.

Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

Do I need to patch recovery in magisk manager for root?

 

[drexxie1962]

Can I install an Android 11 based GSI after successful installation? Or is this not recommended?

Guys im new to this gn10+ rom, i havent used a custom rom for a while (while warranty was available in my country lol)

1.- If i use this rom, will i be loosing access to bank apps?
2.- how good is the performance from stock to custom rom?

thanks in advance, and sorry for the newbie questions, i havent flashed any rom in the last couple of years (i used to flash sony's roms in my xperias )

If you want to boot with the stock kernel, yes. If you want to use a custom kernel then don't patch it

This isn't a ROM, this is a custom recovery / TWRP

And yes, It is possible that you lose access to banking apps with root

 

[drexxie1962]

Wow. I am happy with this, easy to install and working like a charm

 

[galaxy mini]

The kernel source of Android 11 has not been released ...

Android 11 TWRP is up already for a while, in case you didn't notice it yet grab it from twrp.me.
Don't forget to use targeted TWRP for your android version and release, read more about compatibility in second post of this thread.
Regards!

Hi , Can I flash this after having patched magisk firmware installed without losing data ?

 

[siriow]

Hi everyone, after flashing the twrp twrp-3.5.0_9-2-d2s.img.tar, I entered Twrp and it works very well, I rebooted and then tried in various ways to re-enter Twrp, both from off with vol Up key + power key and both restarting by holding down the vol Up keys + power key but I can't get back into Twrp. Only by going first into download mode and then from there by pressing vol down + power button immediately changing to vol Up can I enter Twrp, what should I do to go directly to Twrp? Thank you all.

Is your device on Android 11? Samsung has changed access to recovery on this device. To enter TWRP use this app:

Recovery Reboot - Apps on Google Play

This is a very small app for "rooted" phones to reboot into a custom recovery.

play.google.com

I also think I haven't read where, that having a type c headset connected, and you want to get into recovery with those combinations should work (I haven't tried it, I use that app).

 

[D-Mak]

@siriow Did you do well what I told you? It's just that there's no answer, not a simple thank you for your part.

Hi
Im trying to flash this recovery. Got the files, flashed and started pressing the Power+VOL+, but it reboots to Download Mode saying DT Load Fail, not found rev 0x18? Any idea?

Im still on A10

EDIT: So Nobodys Rom 3.5.0_9-2 with vbmeta mod works, -3 doesnt...

 

[TheFerhatKing]

@corsicanu I wanted to restore my DTB and DTBO files so I installed https://github.com/corsicanu/9825-bootloaders_and_modems/releases FUBD-twrp-flashable.zip and since then I got bootloop. Im using DrKetan ROM, I tried reinstalling it dirty with AP BL CP and formated /system before. But it bootloops on bootsplash... What I did ROM? Is clean flashing the only way to recover?

Edit:
Nevermind I got it booting again with another kernel. I hope I don't messed up something in the system.
