Development [CLOSED][RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy Z Fold4 (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.

 * 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.

Anyone flashed this? I'm loathe to format /data to find out it's not working, as I've got the phone well set-up.

Second question - on the Fold 3 when encryption was disabled via formatting /data in TWRP, the Dex would crash periodically, and sharing was malfunctioning: does Dex work perfectly here when /data formatted and encryption removed here on the Fold 4?

How do you flash root on the snap dragon version?

How do you flash root on the snap dragon version?

do it from twrp, by flashing magisk as instructed above in first post, and your device will be rooted. so far, this twrp works well

@afaneh92 -- Is the kernel of Fold 4 same as the S908E ?
Link on OP leads to the S908E Kernel.

Has anybody managed to install any custom roms using this TWRP?

Hi I tried to install it and got bootloop on my samsung Fold 4, I mean the TWRP worked but it refuses to boot on the rom, I guess I'll wait for a custom OneUi rom

If you follow the instructions, would work. You flashed latest kernel?

I did follow the tutorial as shown and ofc I did flash the kernel, I got the latest version of Android 13 on my SM-F936B

The twrp works perfectly but idk if it's an issue caused by the kernel but the system refuse to get in, it's always on the bootloop
