[RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery 2.7.1.0 for GT-I9195 [2014-06-14]

[Eskuero]

For your information

Team Win Recovery Project 2.7, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s 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.

 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

This is developed for the LTE version of Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195), but it may on the other variants.

I'll only support this variant since it's the only one I own, that means I can only test software for it, and on the way that I'll never give support or bugfixes for any other model.

Reporting Bugs

If you want to report bugs please read THIS HOWTO first. Please try to provide logs if you see errors (logs and dmesg). If you don't know how to do that check google or ask people here to help you.

- To take logs you can use the option "Copy log to SD" inside recovery "Advanced" menu
- To grab a dmesg (if the recovery is not booting normally), just reboot on android system and provide the output of this command run from the adb shell:

cat /proc/last_kmsg

Download

You are storing very sensitive information on your phone. You always have to be careful with what you flash and who you trust on. If you don't trust me then don't use my work or compile it from source yourself.

Two files are provided, the .tar one is only flashable over Odin, but the .img one could be flashed using Heimdall and also using a shell command as below after pushing the file to the sdcard renamed to recovery.img (root access on the device is needed).
Make sure you do not make any typos writting this command, because is an easy and fast way of briking your device:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

You can download the recovery here.

If you are going to host my builds somewhere else, please let me know that on this thread or over PM, so I can add the link here also

Sources

The source of the kernel is this one, compiled along android 4.4.2 codebase of OmniROM and using the default gcc 4.7 compiler:
https://github.com/OliverG96/android_kernel_samsung_serranoltexx

TW_HAS_DOWNLOAD_MODE := true
TW_NO_REBOOT_BOOTLOADER := true

DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 540x960
RECOVERY_GRAPHICS_USE_LINELENGTH := true
TW_NO_SCREEN_BLANK := true
TW_BRIGHTNESS_PATH := "/sys/devices/platform/mipi_samsung_oled.1281/lcd/panel/backlight"
TW_MAX_BRIGHTNESS := 255

TW_INCLUDE_JB_CRYPTO := true
TW_NO_USB_STORAGE := true

hello

yes you can

Are you sure? In other TWRP 2.6.3.0 thread OP says:

UPDATE: Do not flash cm-11 roms with the current stable version (2.6.3.0) of TWRP. It won't work. I will create new builds for the I9195 and the I-9190 after someone this issue.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449107

Seems to me that TWRP is the source of the error and not the recovery build.. And as this is the same TWRP Version here, I'm not sure..

Thanks man, will try to update my encrypted ROM with the newest nightly..

ok

The number is the same because officially Dees_Troy, main dev of TWRP didn't changed it recently, but many things changed.
I also made a bit nicer workaround for screen glitches after timeout, screen won't be turned off, but at least will reduce brightness to skip burning and save battery

This recovery also works on i9192, partitions are the same as i9195, just updated mine

 

[ladislav.heller]

Odin says for the file twrp-2.6.3.0-20131229.tar.md5:

md5 error! Binary is invalid

 

[Eskuero]

Try installing over dd command, I'll try to check that later.

Does it work for you? I cannot open my encrypted cm10.1.2 /data partition,it states: "wrong input", even if i tried it 4 times and also tried a reboot. Same partition worked with my TWRP build. Also no fuse support, so not NTFS

Provide recovery logs if you find a bug you want fixed, about the NTFS support, my SDCard is formatted as NTFS and works well, please explain your problem better.

i would have, but i didn't had any accessible storage (no decryption of data, no NTFS mount for SD card) and was short of time. So.. here is the log:

The prebuilts binaries were added in order to support TouchWiz crypto support, but I'm getting rid of them since forces me to build along ICS crypto and may broke the JB crypto you seems to be using.

So the question is, there's anybody here still with this recoverie installed along a TouchWiz ROM and using encryption of data for it?
If not I'll try to delete it and move forward to JB encryption methods.

Take the recovery.img from the .tar.md5 file containing full stock rom that you flash over odin and apply it using the dd command I wrote on first post, I didn't tried, but must work.

Hi, i have cm11 Rom which is encrypted.. I flashed twrp to decrypt data and flash Rom update but twrp cannot decrypt data (entered password about ten times).. I think twrp needs update to decrypt kitkat, am i right with this?
