New release (v2.8.0.0 20140911) of TWRP Recovery for S3 Mini is here!
It’s only one recovery with full KitKat support for S3 Mini!
You can get it from our download page and flash it under any already installed recovery or using Odin.

There is no more official TWRP, but don’t worry – we will make it better on S3 Mini ourselves!
Changelog:
- Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
- Add command line capabilities – you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
- Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
- Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
- Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
- Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
- Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
- Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
- Add support for 1440×2560, 280×280, and 320×320 resolutions and update 240×240
- Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
- Other minor fixes and improvements
Also we have optimized TWRP for S3 Mini a lot. You never had better recovery on our phone ๐
I’d be glad, if you shared links to our download page, instead of direct links to download.
Also would be great, if you wouldn’t create the mirrors ๐
Thanks.
Thanks for job made by TWRP team.

Please ADD Password, in TWRP
how i download it?
Great work guys. Using with your latest s3 mini ROM with CM 11 and CM native encryption. Couple of observations:
1. List of devices found = blank on adb. Drivers from Android SDK (Windows 7 x64) which work fine with latest CWM on same phone. Am I missing something?
2. Cannot nandroid backup – cannot mount /data. Is there some way of mounting KK encrypted partitions with this version of TWRP?
You should join efforts with maclaw to improve the quality of the CM11 build in the S3 Mini. Currently is quite chaotic.
i flashed yours the other day, your right you ported it first but dont suppose youll get this as i havent been able to post for 3 days, moderation. ill get my point accross on xda.
i meant you where right saying youd ported it first. they havent been posting my messages so i thought it would just stay stuck at moderation. been using your twrp for a few days and its much better than nova teams. why dont you try to make a rom.
thought it wasnt released yet
Leave a note when u r done! Great work!
+1
very nice
What’s better about it?
i was getting alot of errors on novas but exdevs flashes without a problem
What way you chose to update?
finally no moderation for 3 days
Works perfect on my phone!
Which phone do you have? I8190, I8190L or I8190N?
I8190
work on I8200 s3 mini?
someone please please help me my data patition not working it doesnt pick up and TWRP wont start but CWM can but i cannot factory reset because it cant mount data
try reflashing twrp, if that doesnt work go back to stock rom through odin then flash twrp and then cm 11

Works fine, thanks! But we need carbonROM too ๐
Change partition to another type and go back to your desired file system.
Is there a release for galaxy ace 2 gti8160 was gingerbread but put cm 10.2 on it with the 4.1.3 I think it is on jelly bean. Or do I have a recovery with the ROM I installed I’m new to all this just incase you never noticed lol so any help would be awesome. I’m actually after getting the cm 11 but dont want to do it until I know I have a proper recovery
Can I use this twrp on galaxy ace 2 gti8160
very strange this nova team, they take your comments off if you say anything about them now mix comments up so no one knows what they mean all because they messed twrp up, and i do apreciate there work just learn to post peoples opinions even if they arent treating you like your great
xdevs comments been removed. why?
Donยดt work any on my device, both, nova and exdevs.

Trying to install latest CM11 on my S3 mini.
TWRP showing “0 MB” storage on both internal sdcard (ext4) and external sdcard (ntfs). Both reading fine in Philz latest recovery. Therefore cannot install anything from TWRP.
Installing new NovaFusion via Philz recovery errors out “This package is for “golden” devices; this is a “”.”
Be very useful if the NovaFusion installer would allow Philz recovery to be used for install, as currently having to switch backwards and forwards between Philz for adb work and TWRP for ROM updates ๐
[continued]
Tried editing build.prop file and ensuring that ro.build.product and ro.product.device were both set to “golden”. Rebooted and checked with adb as correct. This should allow install-script to pass the assert check, but fails with same โThis package is for โgoldenโ devices; this is a โโ.โ error.
Tried modifying install-script to remove assert on first line –> fails with same error. Signature and md5 verification both disabled.
I’m probably making a basic error somewhere ๐
Curious as to what is special about the custom TWRP that allows the install to work??
[continued]
Mistyped, sorry.
Tried modifying install-script to remove assert on first line. Signature and md5 verification both disabled. Returns “E: Installation Aborted” on trying to install. Followed instructions @ http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/182438-solved-assert-failed.html – copying out script, modifiying, copying back to .zip
First I tried with exdevs via recovery, but donยดt work it, I only saw a TWRP screen and reboot to load normal boot. So I tried with nova file via odin, but I have the same result, so I try to install old TWRP from nova, but is the same result, I mean, I lost recovery in my phone.
I have f2fs on my cell, but I think is not a problem. So, someone can help me to recover recovery mode…
Regards
Please “Material desing” ๐
Hi Novafusion
I appreciate your work for the S3 mini, otherwise I would have already thrown the device through the window.
But I noticed that TWRP team is at version 2.8.3.0 and made a couple of fixes and improvements that supports android 5.0 Lollipop decrypted/encrypted partitions and also some MTP issues.
I don’t know if you use the decrypt/encrypt fuction in the ROM, but would love the MTP fixes and improvements on my S3 mini.
Thanks in advance for keeping this device alive!
grtz
kristof
also exfat support has been improved in the later TWRP versions from 2.8.0.0
thx
You can also make this TWRP version for the S3 mini (i8190) back official by contacting TWRP team. So the new release will be build automatically.
I can’t install it on i8190 from ODIN. It installs normally, reboot, but nothing changes. I installed several times, go to recovery mode, and see stock one. Then for testing, I tried CWM from another sites, different versions of CWM, TWRP – same result. Changed cable… Updated USB driver… double checked model under battery- i8190…..Uninstalled all software for android PC connecting, rebooted PC….
CAN ANYONE HELP? ๐
Found in Russian site

In Some devices Auto Reboot needs to be disabled in Odin…
