[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 [I9190][I9192][I9195][L520]

[ripee]

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.​

How to flash TWRP with Odin​

1. If your phone is turned on normally, turn on Advanced reboot in Developer options and select "Download" from the Restart menu. Alternatively, power it off and press the Power, Volume Down, and Home buttons simultaneously. When the blue screen appears, release all 3 buttons and press Volume Up.
2. In Odin, import the appropriate twrp.tar file for your variant with the "AP" and press the "Start" button.
3. Pull the battery as soon as your phone vibrates.
4. You can then boot directly into TWRP by pressing the Power, Volume Up, and Home buttons simultaneously. Release all three buttons as soon as you see the boot screen ("Samsung Galaxy S4 mini").

Your member of the TWRP Team ?.
It is nice to see that we have now an official TWRP.

Does new Build also support arco68 unofficial LOS 15.1 Version ?

Thanks @ripee !

Maybe you could link the the materialized theme in the OP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584

Clean design with a bunch of extra tools / options to enhance TWRP, this is really useful and handy ?

Thanks but seeing that Nougat version, will it work on a regular KitKat stock ROM ?

If not, which other version of TWRP should I use for an I9195 ?

I have no reason to believe that 3.2.1-0 wouldn't work with stock KitKat. Just remember to pull the battery as soon as your phone vibrates after the flash finishes or else your stock rom could quickly re-flash its own stock recovery.

Please report feedback if you get it to work or not

 

[TheRealKeyserSoze]

That worked a treat!
Flawless flashing followed by installing root from TWRP.

Thanks a lot!

Been waiting on this...

Thank you for your job, but on my i9195 I had troubles with this release. Often it doesn't recognize my 32GB sdcard (it seems to be empty), instead of 3.2.0-1 that works as usual, also with oreo. Maybe I forgot to mount the microsd? But it's strnge, I've never mounted the microsd on previous versions.

 

[sacharja]

Please include the exfat Samsung kernel driver:

Indeed, however there seems to be a solution for Samsung products at least: https://github.com/bkuhn/exfat . Maybe ne0zone75 included this, but the TWRP guys don't use any Samsung device specific drivers.

I had the same issues with my SD

Dead here?

This has less to do with the exFAT driver and more to do with a missing TWRP flag in my device tree. I'll look into it.

What file format is your SD card in? Please try FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS so we can cover these most frequent possibilities.

Users are used to ne0z0ne's unofficial builds perhaps.

I remember a similar problem with my TWRP build for the big S4, which I fixed by removing the following line from the BoardConfig.mk file:

TW_NO_EXFAT_FUSE := true

GT-I9190
twrp-3.2.1-1-serrano3gxx.img
twrp-3.2.1-1-serrano3gxx.tar

GT-I9192
twrp-3.2.1-1-serranodsdd.img
twrp-3.2.1-1-serranodsdd.tar

GT-I9195
twrp-3.2.1-1-serranoltexx.img
twrp-3.2.1-1-serranoltexx.tar

Fantastic! Thanks very much for your feedback! I'll update the official repo and ask TeamWin to compile official 3.2.1-1 builds.

 

[sacharja]

Cool, it also worked for me now with the exfat SD (NTFS is of course working too).

Great job ripee, many thanks for your good work

If you have stock installed, you have to very quickly pull the battery as soon as your phone vibrates when Odin says PASSED! The stock rom is very sneaky because, if you don't pull the battery, it will re-flash its own stock recovery before rebooting into system.
