Development TWRP for Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite SM-T220 SM-T225 SM-T227

Search This thread
may i ask about the SM-T220?

the TWRP posted here , works ( with no touch )
is it possible to use this version of TWRP to update the tablet to android 12 or 13? (i am currently on 11)
a few posts around the forums, report that A13/A12 is much better overall compared to A11. (i would like to upgrade but do not want to lose root)
has anyone tried the hovtk... TWRP port tool ? (i know this tool isn't very effective, just curious?) (this tool has worked for me on other devices, but not well)

may i ask, because i really don't know - what changes between RECOVERIES across android 11,12 and 13? ( is recovery no longer separate and built into the OS as one? )

would it be possible to TWRP for the DOWNLOAD MODE partition instead of a traditional recovery ? (this could be very bad if incorrect)

Do you want to flash the stock a12 or a custom rom? Also rooting is a rom thing it doesn't get carried over you need to root your new rom again anyways

First, thanks very much authors for your work!

Where the
  1. Install Instructions ?
There's one thing not clear enough from the instructions. It says we download the multidisabler...but where do we put it? Or is it already integrated within the TWRP functions?

Where did we get it? Is there something else except the TWRP.tar?

I downloaded the TWRP.tar file, launched the Odin, placed the TWRP.tar in the AP slot, connected the device in Downloading mode, started Odin, waited for "Success", closed Odin, disconnected the device. Now I don't have the recovery at all, neigther TWRP nor the factory recovery, all gone.

Did I do something wrong?

SM-T220 rooted. a13.

Can somebody who successfuly flashed TWRP share the experience step by step? Thank you.

PS: If I ask, for example, Titanium Backup to reboot in recovery mode, it will be rebooting forever, since it can't get the recovery anymore.

Did TWRP supported your SM-T220 A13? no...

which odin are you guys using to flash the t227u? i keep getting use latest version of odin. which ive used like 6 different ones and none of them work lol
 
Hello me and one of my friend painstakingly built a half working twrp with touchscreen working with the SM-T225-AVE1 Android 11 it flashes root from sdcard i have a custom vbmeta and a custom twrp.tar if anyone needs the link let me know and i will help u install it the priblem is is that the twrp needs the kernal to recognise mtp storage so twrp can talk to sm-t225-ave1 if i also got kernal source code so kernal could be modified to talk from the recovery to machine if u want the link i will post it but remember its still in testing stages for now

It boots on mine but when u go to foremat data it bootloops but its on the screen and alows you to use sdk tools to fastboot gsi system img i use crdroid A12
 
Heres the link for SM-T225 HALF BUILT TWRP WHICH WILL ALOW YOU WITH SDCARD TO FLASH ROOT AND ALOW YOU TO USE SDK TOOLS ON A WINDOWS MACHINE TO BOOT TO FASTBOOT AND FLASH GSI ITS ABIT CLOSER TO A FULL BUILD HERE IS THE LINK
Its a pcloud link there will be 3 links one being vbmeta with odun in APwhich you can flash first then it should prompt u to factory reset then then flash recovery.tar with odin in AP SLOT or you can just flash Sm-t225-TWRP-.A11+vbmeta.tar in AP slot and when rebooting in odin hold volume up and power button heres the links its up to you how u flash
