Root TWRP 3.0.2.0 [SM-S920L ONLY]

Cool cant wait.... about how long before you release ? Didnt you say you were adding external storage support or exposed support? Appreciate everything your doing for this device hopefully some more devs will start lending support also.
 
I tried flashing this TWRP and bricked my phone. I have attempted flashing that stock recovery from the link in the thread, but Odin is telling me it can't find my .pit file. How can I fix my phone? Any advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

What is the model number of ur device??
 
Hi,

I managed to brick my sm-s920l with the boot loop in twrp. I followed instructions flashing twrp. When I rebooted, it went into twrp and won't exit. I did download of stock recovery but have never used odin. So what do I do now. I am looking at how to install samsung USB drivers and oden for installing stock rom at androidmtk .com/ flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin. I figure I need to install drivers and odin and then just flash the stock recovery. Am I right so far and then what would I do next.

Thanks
 
I did read it was just wondering wasn't sure how long it had been since the last post. If you are going to take the time to respond with "read the op before posting" just answer the question. Makes sense right.
 
How much do u know about modding as if no one else shows interest im gonna scrap my dev work with this device
I appreciate your work on this device! I'm in between this device and my Verizon S7 edge.

If i had more free time i would gladly help. Working 65 +hours a week and running my website in my spare time leaves me very little time for much.
 
Goodbye to my Galaxy Grand Prime, it has met it's maker. I dropped it and it got ran over. Oh well i have a S7 Edge and a desire 512.
 
  1. Rebooting to recovery by anything but key combo will cause a recovery boot loop this is fixed by flashing ur backup stock recovery image and selecting reboot system... I am looking into this issue
I believe the key is in the persistent partition. The following strings can be read from stock recovery:

zefie@androdev:~/Desktop/recovery/initrd/sbin$ strings recovery | grep persist
/persistent
E :failed to stat size of /persistent
E:failed to stat size of /persistent
E :error wiping /persistent: %s
E:error wiping /persistent: %s

I recall working on older Samsung models that stored the boot mode in a small persistent partition.

I will look into this thanks for the tip :)
 
I was playing with it a bit and I don't think its the persistent partition. But it has to be storing a flag somewhere. I'll also look into it more when I have a bit more time.
