Development [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0-12 for Galaxy A73 5G

[nguyenhung9x2018]

Team Win Recovery Project
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.

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible about any damage of any kind that this custom binary may cause.
Please pay attention to this post & related ones before proceeding and follow the guide correctly. I will not offer support for any issues that have been already stated.
Your Knox Warranty Bit will be blown once you flash this or others custom binaries, preventing you to use Knox features. It can't be resetted in any way, so think twice before flashing this.
Bugs can be reported here in XDA or via the community's Telegram Group. Please be more clear as possible and make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs.

How do I flash and set it up correctly?

Please notice that the following guide is meant for full stock devices, if you've already rooted your device you can skip it and flash directly the recovery without any extra steps.

Before starting, make sure to backup all your data and important files stored in your phone, since this procedure will format your data partition.

• Download Odin3, Samsung's Android USB Drivers, the latest TWRP's tar and a disabled vbmeta image.
• Make sure your phone's bootloader is unlocked, follow the guide below in case it isn't:

How to unlock bootloader ?

• Open the Settings app, enter Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking (If you don't see Developer Options, enter into About phone>Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show it).
• Enter Download Mode: to do so power off your device, connect it to a computer via an USB cable and hold both volume up and volume down buttons.
• Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and your phone will automatically reboot.
• Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later. Make sure to connect the device to Internet during the setup.
• Enter Developer Options and check that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means our bootloader is unlocked and your phone has no KnoxGuard lock set.

How to install ?

• Connect your phone to your PC and boot in Download Mode (power off your device and hold both volume up and volume down buttons).
• Open Odin3, select the TWRP tar by clicking the "AP" button and the patched vbmeta tar by clicking "USERDATA", then press the Start button.
• Reboot your phone in recovery mode: while it still plugged in your PC, hold both the power and volume up buttons.
• Once TWRP has booted you need to format again your data partition in order to be able to boot in system again. To do so touch Wipe>Format Data and follow the instructions in screen.

its because of f2fs and encryption im working with a very lovely dev hes helping me decrypt theres an issue with this recovery might have to rebuild and see but for now if you want to use twrp on oneui5 you can use android 12 bootloader (flash via) i dont recommend this as stuff like vaultkeep will be broken

thank you for your efforts, and with respect to YOU and YOUR friend- I will look forward to YOUR efforts and updates.....I'm just using LIGICK now and it works..... I have UI5, but I'll wait for DATA decryption

Any custom kernel available?
So can mount r/w

 

[kissa67zwi]

Доступно ли какое-либо пользовательское ядро?
Так можно смонтировать r/ w

вроде бы ещё пока нет

There is no custom core yet... And RO2RW hasn't been made for SAMSUNG yet...I am also waiting for the issue to be resolved

Just a heads up, samsung open sourced their initial android 13 build right after they send out 2023 january security update. So they are gonna follow a build late it seems.

I hope to contribute to this phone's development but in it's current state I do not have enough knowledge to be useful. Once it's matured enough and I got enough taste of oneui you can be sure to see me again mate, good luck with the work ahead.
