I have a odin flashable if something screws up... Havent released yet

Do you think you can release the odin flashable? I flashed your twrp recovery and got caught in the recovery loop. Tried adb shell "idme bootmode 4000" etc.. only got adb:closed. I have a recovery.img but fastboot won't flash, it just says waiting for any device. I can adb sideload but I only have the recovery.img. Nandroid ****ed up as well. :/

Edit: I am using SM-S920L btw

updated op with link to odin stock recovery

Dude I love you. Worked perfectly (had to do it twice though since it sat on TracFone screen the first time). If I had money, I would give you like $15 for this.

First test done on my phone of course lol. Note to OP i tried the stock recovery you have posted and kept getting invalid md5 in Odin 3.10.7 redownloaded it several times. I did find one though and converted it to a tar for my own use and verified it booted.

2nd test done converted the .img Twrp file to a tar file and flashed it in Odin.

Read post 23 otherwise you will get errors. Once you have edited the bat file everything works fine.

For invalid md5, you just drop the .md5 and leave it as a .tar and it works.

Weird as the md5 should b correct i made it kind of in a rush but verified it flashed... When i get time i will make odin flashable for twrp and i plan on releasing a custom stock based rom aswell [emoji3]

 

[cybrbaconbeach]

Thank you! All is much appreciated I was fixing to ditch this phone but now I'll keep it. I like the phone but didn't like the fact of not having a way to restore it when I screw something up.

I can post the Odin flashable Twrp if you want

 

[cybrbaconbeach]

Sure that would speed things up for me, I haven't had time to mess with it today so that would be most appreciated. .Thank you again for all your work

Is there anyway we can get xposed framework on this phone with the 'Handle ExternalStorage' module so we're able to get more storage for this device because I keep running out of space for my apps and games

I plan on adding sd-ext support

 

[cybrbaconbeach]

All other functions seem to work for u??

I have tried 3 times to make backup, but it keeps getting stuck at generating md5, is it because im backing up to extsd? Ill have to free up some space and i will try to backup to internal storage to see if that works.... Also i am running a 128gb exsd card that also could be the issue.. Just checking to see if anyone else has had an issue

Nevermind I gave it a go again and it worked like a charm, I think i was having issues with my sd card

If interested I got init.d support by flashing this script I found on xda

This Is awesome, Im new to rooting android devices, and even with the minor boot loop hiccup which wasn't really hard to figure out, I managed to get rooted and have been messing and with it ever since. bricked a couple times etc, but have managed to get back and recover. Thank you for your hard work!

This isnt true init.d this just adds a link to the init.d directory through another script... True init.d is ran directly from init.rc
