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

Hey, just wanted to know if I can just install TWRP after updating to10.6.1.14.4 build (US). Deets:
1. Latest ASUS bootloader installed (never messed with it or other ROMs)
2. UnlockedDL
sbdags has some stuff on the stock ROM, but I haven't tweaked/deodexed anything, so I'm not sure it applies to my stock ROM? Can't I just download TWRP and fastboot install it? Tĥanks!

If your device already unlocked and you can be on 4.1.1 OR 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4 build), it's ok to install latest TWRP 2.5.0.0.
Thanks guys. I installed TWRP and I'm now rooted.
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.

Hello! I have been using mi-globe & previous smiui for quite some time and never had an issue with dirty flashes. Now, I try to install 6.12.22 over the 6.11.24 version and I always get an "Updater gave an Error 7" and the update fails. I want to flash 6.12.22 to prepare myself for android 7 update. I have also tried to flash 6.12.15 version and also fails. I have tried with TWRP version 2.8.7.3 and later with version 3 which also fails. What can I do ?
Weired...
Are you sure you took the right one? DL again via a computer?
Your nov. build should have the last TWRP version. Did you tried to update it via fastboot?

You have this TWRP :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862699043
Or team's superluminal one? (this one I think.. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759888487)
Did you try to install the same version on Xiaomi.eu before, and just flash over the Mi-globe twice?

thanks for the help but i succeeded by dirty flashing xiaomi.eu 6.12.22 over mi-globe 6.11.24, for some reason it worked. I don't know which one recovery I have, i flashed the 3.0 version using the TWRP app from tha playstore, I don't know which of the two is this ( I think the file I flashed was around 45mb so it's probably the first...).
UPDATE: I have the 3.0.2 TWRP version. Is it compatible with nougat ??
I'm not sure it's about the number only. On the mi-globe topic, it's explained. Flash nougat. Then unlockdevice, then flash twrp compatible
For example, I can't install this ROM. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529141701856461698
When I install this ROM, the system doesn't boot
But I can install this ROM. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523996
So what's the problem?

when you run a unified common twrp, you cant install older device specific roms. if you run an older device specific twrp, you cant install newer unified roms.

I want to install newer unified ROMs, but I can't install anything for Unified , I can only install device specific ROM and TWRP
If I install anything for "Unified espresso" (ROM, TWRP, Kernel etc.), the system will not boot, but if I install anything for device specific, the system will boot successfully

ok.
next case is there replaced hardware in your tab (e.g mainboard, display)? you need a special kernel then. look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nified/kernel-anykernel-t3484739/post74352635

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
hello there.
sorry for making a new thread .. ive asked my question multiple times no one answered properly. so here's the situation:
just received the phone from china . i'm on android pie hos. and want to update to ob7 . having root and twrp is it the right way to do it? :
1. update to ob7 using local update and full zip file.
2. unlock the bootloader and flash twrp 70 (or 74 i'm not sure?) using adb
3. flash magisk and twrp installer in twrp recovery
4. done!
i heared its better to use twrp 70 and dont know the reason. whats wrong with the latest version?
Not sure if that will work, but locally upgrading from h2OS to OOS worked on my old op6 when I had it.
If it does not work;
Backup your files first then you need to unlock your bootloader.
Then boot twrp via command prompt. Once booted into twrp. Wipe data and do a factory reset there. Flash twrp installer then reboot into recovery.
Flash OB7, twrp installer and magisk then reboot to recovery again and flash ob7, twrp installer and magisk then reboot to system
I'm using .74
Not sure what the problem is/are.

Which route you want to follow twrp or official? If its official i'd say try the msm tool.. That will put you on oldest pie and then you can do OTA..
