Root TWRP v2.2.2.1 Recovery for Prevail by Hroark13

[Deleted User]

Hroark13 now of XDA has created a port of Team Win Recovery Project v.2.2.2.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.

Team Win Recovery Project
v2.2.2.1
By Hroark13
​

What is TWRP?
Its a touch screen recovery. That is theme-able.
So what does this mean? No more volume rocker or power buttons, nor any button combination to select what you are trying to do. Now its all touch, the way a recovery should be!
Other features:
The ability to flash multiple zips at the same time
Lock screen
Clock

I'm going to leave this link as a reference. For now the prevail version has been pulled because it caused many issues.
Link it is the 2nd post:
TWRP 2.2.2.1 for ZTE Warp and Samsung Prevail- xda-developers



All Credits go to Hroark13 and Team Win. I am just providing the link and some details.

If you'd like to thank Hroark13 please do so on xda.

If you are planning on adding this to your rom, please make sure you credit both Hroark and Team Win. And preferably link to his page.

The OP was for the ZTE warp but 2nd post is for the prevail

Can you just give us a few detailed install instructions ??

I mean, whats the difference, advantage and/or disadvantage of using either the .tar and flash with Odin or do the .ZIP install from CWM ?

When exactly does the stick needs to be flashed ? Still in CWM after the install or with the "Install" button on TWRP ?

Also, when installing TWRP, does a custom ROM, like CTMod3.68 needs to be re-installed ?

Would be great to get detailed instructions, even if some of it is obvious. Just want to make sure not to screw anything up.


Thanks..... And please give MANY THANKS to Hroark ( already thanked him on xda ! )

This is awesome!

And i assume all previous zips are still compatible?

Honestly I'm just reposting the link. I don't know the specific instructions for the prevail

 

[vce2005]

It's just different options to get it installed man, and no you don't need to reinstall your rom, the only thing different is that you need to make a backup with TWRP because CWM backups are NOT compatible...

Now another interesting point would be if the " Odin Image File Creator " from Koumajutsu is still working, since I believe it originally boots into CWM Recovery......

Would be great to know.............

When you do this will you still have bolth clockworkmod and this? Can I still flash something I have saved in clockworkmod too?

This replaces cwm...
It's a completely different recovery

Also i would assume you have to make new backups

Yeah well they said it you cannot use your clockworkmod backups with this you have to use its own back up but what about all the other backups that I have saved for certain things how do I use them then ur they all garbage now?

 

[vce2005]

Nahhhhh, you just take a week vacation in a remote cabin in Alaska, re-do all your tweaks and make new, fresh backups with TWRP !! Grinzzzzzzzzzzzz

( I know, just being a smartass ! LOL )

If you really want them, get the cwm.zip from the cwm thread.

Flash cwm, restore backup, flash twrp, create backup, replace old backup with new one...

Rinse and repeat as necessary...

Okay that makes sense will we still be able to flash themes like j6's and all those things with that new 1

From what i have been told, Yes. All zips will still work, just not your old cwm backups.

I searched like crazy, but by so many CWM posts, I cannot find the one with the correct cwm.zip..... Anyone has a link ? Thx.

Everything but CWM backups will work with TWRP.

 

[vce2005]

I also just got a reply from Hroark regarding the " Odin Image File Creator " !!!

Hroark said : "should work, Kouma's script uses adb, which works in TWRP too"

What? Why so quiet now? So, some input on this and how its working out for everyone. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. This won't get rid of download mode, will it?

 

[vce2005]

Well, so far everything went great. No problems at all. Flashed the .zip via CWM, rebooted back into the new recovery and installed the stick.zip........ No problems at all.......... Still download mode, etc. and all the other good stuff........ nothing changed and I think, even the backup went faster........

The only "con" I see ( maybe just me ) : It has a lot of options and settings, a bunch of it and I don't understand all of them.... I wrote the "TEamWin" and ask for manual or explanation, but so far I haven't heard back.........

Did you really have to flash the stick zip? In the xda thread I thought it said if you were using from stock?

 

[vce2005]

Well, I just flashed the stick.zip......... LOL I not even really know what it's for. Didn't do anything bad tho......

Shouldn't do anything bad, They said it overwrites the script to make it stick.

 

[vce2005]

Well, so far it sticks....... Just would like to know a litte more about the options....... But it seems to run good !! Now the last thing I will try to do is to make a successful " Odin Image File Creator " backup. Hroark as well as Kouma told me there should not be a problem......


PS: Odin Image File Creator work as well ! No problems !!!

 

[Lordvincent 90]

The stick.zip removes a file in the stock rom that reflashes the stock recovery when you reboot...

I'm trying to figure out how the terminal emulator part works, seems like it doesn't show all the directories.

Same with the file browser feature

 

[vce2005]

I used the file browser a couple of times but only on the SD-Card......... it showed all correct there..... Haven't played around with Terminal Emulator nad other options/settings.... Was waiting to see if I get a response to my manual -request......

MAybe you can send them an e-mail, LV..... : http://teamw.in/project/twrp
