[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon)

[kodein]

Hi. Is the procedure for flashing twrp and subsequent root the same on android 13?

 

[cisekpro]

Yeah, it's working for Android 13 and OneUI 5

 

[deeklogic]

Does anyone know if it already works with android 13(One UI 5.0)?

Yes, tested on my G781B with Android 13. I used it for install the Bandido kernel and it worked

 

[deeklogic]

Thank you for your quick response, I also have the G781B model and was wondering if it would work with android 13. Now that I have the answer, I have another question. I'm also looking forward to installing a custom kernel, (That's why I was wondering if twrp would work with android 13) what would you say is the best custom kernel for my model when it comes to performance and battery because I want a good balance between good battery and good performance. Form what i have collected the best kernal are primekernal, bandido and kimbokernal. So what would you say is the best kernal when it comes to balance between good performance and good battery life?

Thank you in advance.

I really dont know what about other kernels, but now I can say that Bandido works pretty well, you can try Prime and tell me what about that cause Im looking for that experience too, sorry ^^

Hi everybody,
Sorry in advance for this noob question.
Starting from stock Android12, I went thru all @afaneh92 process and it's working nicely.
Now I'd like to upgrade to Androi13: do I have to rerun exactly all the process (& so loosing my data)?
In other words: are BL unlock and avb disable persistent after an Odin flash ?
Thank you for sharing your skills !

Thank you for sharing your skills !

Note: steps 2-6 are important, missing any will lose your data.

1. Load all files to their respective slots in odin, pick HOME_CSC instead of CSC.
2. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and hit start.
3. Reboot to download if possible from odin options (not working on all devices), or using buttons combo.
4. Keep auto reboot unchecked, Flash TWRP in AP slot and vbmeta_disabled.tar in USERDATA
5. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up and power to reboot into TWRP.
6. Disable encryption:
- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.
You will see " - Finished." When it is done.
7. flash magisk then reboot to system (optional).

Wow: that's a quick, clear and detailed answer to all my questions !
Thank you so much for your great work afaneh92

Hi again,
Some feedback after applying carefully your procedure @afaneh92 : Android13 installed with all features and data preserved
I'm really impressed by your knowledge. One more time: thank you !

Hi everybody,
I've got a S20FE SM-G781B snap 5G with Android12 / One UI 4.1.
Thank to @afaneh92 and many people here, BL unlock, TWRP install and root with Magisk ran perfectly.
For about 1 month now, Android13/ONE UI 5.0 stock FW is available. As a noob, I have some questions about upgrading my phone:
1 - We have to upgrade manually with Odin. But do we have to reflash the vbmeta_disable tar file after (or during) FW upgrade ? (guess the FW flash will enable the verified boot check)
2 - The same way: I imagine that the stock FW flash will overwrite the recovery so we have to reflash TWRP ? May be we can avoid this rebooting on existing TWRP after FW flash and before 1st system boot ?
Is afaneh92's TWRP Rev. 3.7 compatible with Android13/ONE UI 5.0 ?
3 - Is root cancelled by the upgrade ?
As a last question, is there a chance to keep our data thru this procedure ?
Sorry for this bunch of questions but I prefer prevention to fixing if I do something wrong...
Thanks guys !

+1
I have the same doubts about upgrade from android 13 without losing data to the last OTA Android 13 (january) (already downloaded with frija and generated patched AP with magisk GVK6)

i'm already in Android 13 (previous version from December or so), unlocked and rooted...
Thanks!


EDIT:
Following your steps : All OK

Using patch AP from magisk method: nevers works for me (bootloop)

Thanks!

In my old j7 device the system ui sounds were ok and every single one of then sounded perfectly,however in s20 the charging sound cuts off like for example the sound is like 6 seconds and only sounds 3,what could be the problem?,the rest of the modify sounds are ok even the power on and power off wich is similar to charging sound 6 seconds or 5.

Hi, I'm currently on Android 13 One UI 5, clean install after a failed update from Android 11 One UI 3.1 in which I had bootloop and had to do a full wipe of all my personal data and lost everything. I want to root my device again, can someone please provide a detailed guide to do it without messing everything up again? My device is an SM-G780G (the 4G Snapdragon).

just follow topjohnwu's instructions, flashing a patched AP archive is preferred over flashing a renamed apk.

So I need to follow the Samsung part in that link, got it. But what do you mean with flashing a patched AP instead of a renamed apk? is it for Magisk or what part is that?

it's covered in the guide, Samsung divides their firmware into 4 archives AP, CP, BL and CSC (or HOME_CSC which is the same as csc but doesn't wipe the phone).
the recommended method to root is copying the AP archive to your phone, patching it with the magisk app, copying I back to PC and flashing it along with the other archives in Odin.

Ohhh I understand now, I'm going to do the process later tonight, thanks a lot!

oh BTW rooting this way would mean you'd have to flash twrp again as the AP archive contains the stock recovery.

If you change the system sound,try not to change the charge battery,it works but it has a problem.Sounds that are like 5 or 6 seconds it won't play the whole sound,it will only play a little part of it like 2 and a half or 3 seconds,so if you change it make the sound last 2 or 3 seconds,not far from that,it's weird since my j7 didn't have any problems with the sounds i made for the charge battery.
