[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy S20 Series (Snapdragon)

[afaneh92]

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.

Code:
* Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Note: My TWRP builds are free I take no money or selling them, The new builds support US devices unlocked before 9 november or added upon request.

Supported Models:
Galaxy S20 Ultra G9880, G988N, G988U, G988U1 and G988W.
Galaxy S20 plus G9860, G986N, G986U, G986U1 and G986W.

Download & Guide:
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Download S20: x1q, S20+: y2q or S20 Ultra z3q.
3. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in AP slot 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.​

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.
9. Flash magisk apk in twrp.
10. Reboot to system, Enjoy.

Note:

To disable encryption manually:
You need to replace fileencryption=ice with encryptable=ice only in userdata line (maybe rest lines) in vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
To avoid stock recovery restoration manually:
Rename system/recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak

Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.

Do I need to root the device as guided by Jesec in his thread or only unlock the bootloader. Will installing this recovery will auto provide root ?

The unlock is to allow flashing custom recovery, and no root inside you need to flash magisk to get root.

Works on sm-g9810 s20?

 

[jsbutran]

I followed the steps but always get bootup in Android Recovery. Im on g988n snapdragon. Please guide. I have done OEM unlocking. Disabled AVB and flashed recovery. but try to boot in recovery I get into Android recovery. What I'm doing wrong

you can be the first tester on regular s20.

worked fine on G988U, you need to be stock for disabling AVB then wipe and go back to download mode and flash TWRP

 

[ismoore]

I assume this will work on G988U1 too?

If you unlocked your bootloader why not!

 

[ismoore]

If you unlocked your bootloader why not!

The bootloader can't be unlocked on the U and U1 models.

 

[sabrdawg]

Sure use y2q build

Where is the multidisabler file located? I'm wanting to try this on my US Snapdragon S20+! ?

Not true pm me for details

 

[afaneh92]

The bootloader can't be unlocked on the U and U1 models.

I have unlocked S10 G973U. PM me or join telegram group for more info.

Where is the multidisabler file located? I'm wanting to try this on my US Snapdragon S20+! ?

Multidisabler zip cant decrypte for now, super partition vendor are read only and cant modify fstab.qcom, will be fixed later.
The only way is to push edited fstab.qcom to vendor via adb or root manager.

Will add a guide tomorrow.

 

[elliwigy]

Theres a file at /system/recovery-from-boot.p or something rather he probably needs to remove else it will overwrite the custom recovery with other one.

you can be the first tester on regular s20.
