[Svan987]

I am still on android 11 with TWRP 3.5.2_10-5. Can I update to last version 3.6.2_11-7 because it's written kernel android 12. Or my installed version is the last compatible with android 11 ? Thanx.

I'm on Android 11. It's fine.

Download & Guide:
1. Unlock your bootloader. ONE TIME .
2. Download S20 FE 5G: r8q.
3. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in AP slot in Odin and reboot. Device will reboot to stock recovery mode prompting you to wipe data so wipe data and reboot to download mode again.
4. Put the TWRP tar for your device with Odin in the AP slot and click start.
5. Reboot to recovery via recovery key combo.
6. Disable encryption:
- Flash multidisabler-samsung-3.x.zip. DON'T WORK. USE THE TERMINAL
Or:
- Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.
If vendor complain about free space left on device, will attempt to resize vendor. and it ask to - Run multidisabler again!.
- Type: multidisabler again. will see - Finished. when done.
7. Go back to Wipe > Format Data > type yes.
8. Reboot to recovery.

Hi everybody,
Finally everything went nicely during all the process: now I've got a G781B/DS with TWRP and rooted
Like many others here I had to try 10 or 20 times to re-enter recovery after flashing with Odin at step 5 (need 5 hands & 28 fingers to do that !) So here is a little tip:
When you are at step 4 (see @czerwinski76 post#603 or OP) deselect Autoreboot in Odin. When TWRP flashing is over, reboot phone from DL mode manually with keys combo (Vol- & Power during 7 sec)
When the screen turns black you have 1-2 sec (really!) to switch to Vol+ button and Unplug/Replug the USB cable on the PC. It is mandatory that you've done that before the boring unlocked BL screen appears. Then you should boot to recovery.
Thank you so much to afaneh92 for his great work giving us the chance to optimize our phones !
Thanx also to all contributors of this thread. It's long but worth to read from OP to here.

Hi all,
May be that's not the better place for this noob question, feel free to tell me.
When setting up my 1st backup with TWRP I had the surprise to see a bunch of partitions.
Would anybody be kind to give me a short description of those ones:
metadata | sec_efs | dtbo | Firmware | Optics & Super (= system I guess ?)
Thanks

generally you only need to worry about a partition that gets written to or overwritten with new stuff. system partition is the OS, vendor is device specific files to help the OS work. the data partition is where your apps and every setting you enter gets stored. EFS partition is where your IMEI is stored, having a backup of this stored safely is recommended. boot partition is where the kernel is stored. these are the main partitions you have to worry about as a user. as far as I know the rest only get written to with a stock flash of firmware. some like optics can be flashed via twrp but that's not usually a concern. the rest you'd be better off searching for one by one for decent explanation.

Hi 3mel
Thank you for your feedback.
I agree with you that only a few partitions generally need to be saved/restored (system/data...)
But I'm a curious guy and I'd like to know what those mysterious partitions contain. Oh I discovered another one: Prism . . . keep on searching !

there's definitely more than a few years back, I've tried looking up and gotten nowhere really.

One thing to do since problem w twrp and external sd , is just make backup on internal drive ,turn phone on and then copy twrp backup to sd card .

just flash a stock rom and then relock your bootloader.

Thanks again for continuing to maintain this recovery, just sucessfully flashed 3.7.0_12-1 over the top of 3.5.0_10-1. Now onto either finding a custom 12 rom, or going back to stock and re-rooting etc (would prefer the former obviously).
