Hi all,
I know that AOSP is Android Open Source Project.
So, when TWRP says that version 2.8.6.1 includes a "Update AOSP base to 5.1", what does it exactly mean?
Does it mean that the device OS will be upgraed to Android 5.1 ?
BTW, I ask it here just because I have N5...
Thank you

No, it doesn't mean that.
So,
1. Can you explain to me please what does it mean exactly?
2. TWRP does not let me install the OTA upgrade to 5.1. how can I overcome that?
Thank you!!

It means that TWRP base has been updated to Android 5.1. TWRP is based on the open source Android recovery, with each release of Android (4.4, 5.0, 5.1 etc) Google update everything to the new base. So currently everything in Googles repo is a 5.1 base. TWRP updates itself to the latest android recvoery base which is 5.1. It allows for the flashing of latest ROMs, bug fixes and any new features (although in Google stock recovery, new features are very rare)
To update to 5.1 you will need to flash an unoffcial stock version in the development secion or you can grab the OTA zip and 'adb sideload' it.
Thank you Matt
1. Can you just point me to the place where I can select the files to flash?
2. Which one would you recomment me to use?
3. Can I flash them with TWRP?
Many thanks!

You cant apply ota updates above 5.x.x with twrp. Use stock recovery instead.
It is not an error. Aftert the upgrade is downloaded it reboots into the TWRP screen and there I do not know what to do.
So, I simply choose to reboot into system from there, and thus, there is no upgrade.

Oh, so it's exactly like @bitdomo said, and I quote, "You cant apply ota updates above 5.x.x with twrp. Use stock recovery instead."
I just upgraded to Lolipop 5.1.I'm wondering if there is any official recovery available for honor Lollipop android 5.1.
why you need one specific? when you have flashed it, you have the newest stock recovery installed

I need a third party recovery to root my device. Now I've found the solution. Thanks anyway.
I've not updated yet (tried and failed) but I am interested to hear what the root solution is?

Hello all,
I am receiving tomorrow my new Samsung S6 and i want to know some things.
- Unlocking bootloader (how to and link?) - have searched a bit and you need ODIN. but what is the best version etc
- Installing TWRP3.0 (how-to) - where to find the latest TWRP for samsung s6
And than one of the most important question, is there a stock android that doesent have any buys and fc's????
Bootloader is not locked on S6 (except AT&T variant)
You can get latest ODIN from here;
http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
If you want to install TWRP on it;
1- Update it to Marsmallow if you haven't
2- Install this TWRP via ODIN;
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
3- Boot up to TWRP and flash this ZIP before do anything on TWRP;
https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

Wouldn't this order make more sense so he had a backup in case something goes wrong?
Also, here are the threads for TWRP and SuperSU for the S6 on XDA:

No, and there probably won't be any for a long time, but there are lots of TouchWiz-based custom ROMs.
so basicly i dont need any customezation? because you telling me there will not be released a custom stock rom? Even a CM13 rom
thats poor services!

Correct. The only custom ROMs availability now and the foreseeable future are based on TouchWiz, not AOSP Android or CyanogenMod.

He need dm-verity disabled boot image for working TWRP backups. That's why I suggest him to install this ZIP.
While reading topics on the internet (google)
If you THE smartphone update to 6.0 you do not need to unlock the bootloader. is this correct?
For now i will not use TWRP because there isent a proper ROM for the S6. is this because the exynoss CPU? because QSD cpu's have always the better support for CM..

As I said before, there's no bootloader unlock because bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices.
If you want root, you should to use TWRP for install the latest SuperSU.
Yes, there's no CM ROM for Exynos 7420 right now. Maybe in future? Who knows...

i tried to install it, used the AP method in Odin.
But when i want to go in TWRP recovery i get the stock recovery! How to solve this issue
I'm having this issue as well on the T-Mobile variant. I have tried the unchecking auto reboot option in Odin and manually going to recovery. When I successfully flash according to Odin, I can't not get past the Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing boot.

I did figure this out, check this post for how I did it.
I installed TWRP. It was supposed to be TWRP 2.8.6.0, but it is 2.8.5.0. Today, I just backed up my tablet with it. After using TWRP, my tablet boots up 6 times faster and the UI functions twice as fast as it did before. Overall, my tablet got better after running TWRP. So, what did it do? Also, I want to flash Lollipop. Can I do that with this version?
I don't know what twrp did to your tablet. If you want to flash a lollipop or a marshmallow rom however you should use this version of twrp : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-team-win-recovery-project-twrp-t3464050
And use one of theses rom :
lollipop : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-cyanogenmod-12-cm12-t2997934
Marshmallow (recommended) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303798

twrp manage all general functions before the android system completely started. you can compare twrp with the bios system on your pc.
if you want install the latest roms, you should upgrade your twrp to the latest unofficial common version (3.0.2-6). you can find it here: http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html

I just downloaded Cyanogenmod 13 (device specific). Does this kernel work with device-specific ROMs? If it works, I'll try to flash the latest Unified TWRP first. If it works, I'll install the Unified ROMs.
The second question is, can I install cm 13 without factory reset(on CM 11)

1. i think there is no need for the special kernel on device specific roms. keep in mind that device specific builds wont be supported and wont get updates amymore.
2. no, you cant upgrade from cm11 to cm13 without factory reset. clean install is needed

You can install unified twrp (or any other version of twrp) without installing the kernel. The rom and the kernel you have installed are completely independent of the twrp recovery. If you want to install a unified rom with a custom kernel you must first install unified twrp, then clean flash the rom and after that flash the kernel.

Unfortunately, I can't enter the recovery mode when I flash Unified TWRP (after the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 logo, the screen goes black and remains until I restart the system). I can only enter the recovery mode when I flash device specific TWRP
