Root TWRP 2.8.1.0 afyonltetmo

The sdcard was in there both times. The recovery still works great though. If I have to deal with it booting up slow sometimes its not really a big deal.

I don't know what the heck was going on with my phone yesterday. I just installed the new firmware again since its available on sammobile now and it rooted just fine and twrp installed without any issues. The only thing I did different this time is that I installed the new firmware with Odin instead of ota update.
 
yea, each one is packaged up, only difference is how the ramdisk is packed. my recovery uses a custom kernel which you could use in a boot.img kernel.

So this means adb can run as root when the phone is in recovery mode but not when its booted in android?
I still have a lot to learn
 
Just downloaded, extracted recovery.img with root explorer, and installed with flashify and all is working good. Thanks for the update.

Download:
TWRP - http://shabbypenguin.com/?developer=OUDHS-Recovery&folder=afyonltetmo Mirror: 2.8.3.0
Odin - http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Odin_v3.07.zip

Load up Odin
Click PDA and load in the TWRP tar you downloaded
Ensure you have Samsung drivers installed
Power off your device
Press and hold Power + Volume Down + Home
At the confirmation screen press Volume up
Once you've entered download mode connect your device
Confirm you see a blue/yellow box in Odin with a com#
Click start
When it says finished, rebooting press and hold Volume up and Power to enter recovery

So the source Samsung had posted one of them wouldn't download the 3 times i tried and the other had a corrupted readme.txt, luckily the design was similar with other snapdragon 400 Samsung's and I figured the defconfigs out. I couldn't use the prebuilt kernel because it was too large and had Samsung's anti rooting stuff. here is the defconfig i used so anyone can take it and make the same kernel i did easily.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 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.

Phone look: it works perfect



Tablet look:

CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.1:
-Fix a bug that causes weird graphics glitches and touch issues

Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.

Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.

Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.

CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks

BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

SUPPORT:
This is an unofficial port, if you have issues dont bother them, you bug me.
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.

I have a project I'm working on but it'd be the first rom I've built so I have no idea if I'll be able to make anything usable. I can't say whether there are any ROMs in the works.
