So, Lately I've fiddling with my quite old 'spin-off' awkward phone. It's a "GT-i9063T" a different 'version' of the i9082 it's exactly the same, all the same specifications and physical size, screen resolution, everything. BUT (I'm not sure of the next statement since I had only one reference) -- The processor's name are different, even tough both have EXACTLY the same specifications.
And also, most importantly, the main difference between the two, is a useless "TV" function. It can capture (sorry not sure about that verb, I'm not American) average, analogical TV signal, and I never used it.
Since it's SO equal to i9082, i was like, FU*K it, let's use i9082 stuff! And, NOTHING, happened.
My first attempt was to normally odin-mode boot, and then change/flash recovery mode so i could install the ROM through there. The thing is, the TWRP (only recovery that I found who supported i9082) did nothing. I install it normally, no errors pops out, (it's almost instantly) odin even say it were successful, but when I reboot and actually try to enter recovery mode, the stock recovery mode is still there. My guess is: I got this spin-off of mine through a plan (those 6 months contracts and they give you a free cellphone) with Tim (the huge Italian communication conglomerate) And I'm guessing it's bootloader might be locked.
Then what i tried was: Flasihfy, the app crashes when i click to choose archive, then i tried to 'bootloader' mode and i couldn't find how to boot to it (no key combo neither ADB worked) and I think it's not a thing for Samsung devices.
But I know that, the fact that, my phone is a different model and i9082 stuff won't work on it just might be the answer.
So, help on getting a custom recovery on? Anyone? ;-;
