must use modded twrp v2.6.0.0 to mount storage in recovery, but some roms require TWRP 2.5.0.2.

[tooandrew]

I hate being so limited by this, a lot of roms boot loop or stick on kernel screen, many of the FAQ's state to use TWRP 2.5.0.2. to fix this. its a huge pain... is there a modded version of TWRP 2.5.0.2. for the newer l710's that can't mount recovery in standard recovery menu's? or some other fix for this?

I'm getting a replacement galaxy s3 sent to me (currently sitting somewhere in Massachusetts) and I hope it doesn't have the recovery issue. Anyway, let me explain why the 2.5.0.2 modded one won't help:

This is an issue that's at the hardware level where more security was added to the system. The original issue you faced with mounting was due to the kernel used in the recovery. Samsung didn't make a note of it in the revisions. I'm guessing whatever rom you're trying to run is running into issues with this new security. At this point, I'm guessing you'll have to deal with it for a while. I'll try to let you know if anything changes, but for now you can't do much.
