mobile

I've tried just about all the ones currently out there. For the S6 and the Edge, international and domestic. Most boot, but have a messed up screen. I was delighted when the one for the T-Mobile Edge actually came up with the TWRP screen, but the touch screen was totally unresponsive. Couldn't do anything.

I'm not that concerned with doing backups at this point, but I really want to be able to pull/push files from the system folder via adb. No matter what recovery I use, adb always says "device offline" when I do "adb devices". Adb works fine when I'm booted normally. I've installed the Samsung drivers, and tried choosing a driver manually, same results. I really want to do some mods to the SystemUI and Framework, but I don't like using Root Explorer or equivalent to copy them to the system folder while the phone is booted normally.

So.....

Anybody got a custom recovery working?

and...

Any idea why adb reports "device offline" while in recovery?
