My phone already has Magisk-patched rooted stock ROM with TWRP (Android 11). I would like to update the OS (to Android 12), and I've always followed these instructions in the past, adding multidisabler at the end. What do I do with avb-disabled vbmeta in this scenario?

EDIT: Ok, I figured it out with this post's help. Additionally, the upgrade in Android version made some changes that rendered my PIN unusable, so I couldn't unlock, the phone would just crash and return to the lockscreen. I could fix that by following this post.

Hello !

I intalled TWRP and Wipe/Format data in TWRP. I had to intall multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip so I found I had to put in my SD card but TWRP didn't to refresh so I reboot the phone and now it's reinstalling. Should I reflash TWRP to install multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip ?

I have a problem to put a custom rom on my S10 Exynos SM-G973F because I don't get TWRP on it installed. At present it has
AP G973FXXSGHWA4
BL G973FXXSGHWA4
CP G973FXXUGHVK1
CSC G973FOXMGHVJ5
I succeded with unlocking the bootloader, on download mode page it says OEM LOCK: OFF(U).

When I flash TWRP twrp-3.7.0_9-1-beyond1lte.img.tar with ODIN 3.14.1 in AP slot it fails. On the device it says 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY).

Same message comes when I try to clear vbmeta with vbmeta-disabled.img.tar using BL slot (with VBMETA in the message).

What can I do to get TWRP running?

    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.

    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.
