Nice! I have been waiting for TWRP. I rooted but refuse to put on CWM with all the issues. Plus my battery life is so much better with the stock kernel right now.

TWRP is touch screen capable. Also they figured out how to keep it from changing when you flash other kernels.

A lot of people are afraid of CWM because on the OG EVO 4G early builds were wiping out people's RSA keys which are needed to connect to 4G. It was fixed shortly after, but for some it was too late. Once you restored from a nandroid, your 4g abilities were gone. That is really the only issue I have ever heard of with CWM. I have heard of issues with Rom Manager, but not CWM itself. I prefer TWRP, but if the only custom recovery is CWM, then that is what I'll use. There are no issues with CWM on our phone.

No links or anything. Going on personal opinions onlyy. I actually used and liked CWM in the past. I have also used and liked AmonRA. I did put stock with cwm on a while ago and battery dropped from going to bed with over 50% to going through the entire battery in a day.
I know it most likely had nothing to do with CWM, so no need to correct me. This is only personal. Plus after seeing TWRP in action I can't wait to try it.

There was also another issue of CWM not wiping properly so when people would wipe and then install a ROM, it made the ROM appear to not be functioning properly, ie force closes and such. That and the RSA keys issues were the only ones I was aware of.
The solution to that was to just switch to AmonRa recovery, which was a lot better anyway.
I never was a fan of CWM, its too buggy. If teamwin comes through in separating the kernel and recovery partition I will be very happy, this is much needed.
@spencer88 I also had a feeling that CWM does not wile properly, I'd install a ROM and get boot loops. Usually that only happens with a ROM when you don't wipe and flash.
true but with Calk's "format all" that SHOULD put you at ease

Yea rom manager is just a GUI to get to recovery and honestly is pretty worthless on alot of phones, it causes more problems than its worth really. The old school manual way using amon RA or one of its variants is tried and true and always reliable. CWM on the Evo doesn't always wipe properly which leads to serious issues, I prefer to go down my wipe list and hit everything 3x on a clean install, and 1-2x for cache and dalvik for an upgrade where I dont need to wipe data etc, oh yeah just don't wipe your SDCARD option or it will be blank after and you better hope you got a backup on ur PC, I did that once when I was hungover and half asleep

New ClockworkMod Recovery fixes the problem that factory reset on Android 4.2 always lead to migration content of /sdcard to /sdcard/0. This is built from ClockworkMod Recovery Builder and can be used on Xoom. There may be some problems with Hong Kong & Taiwan UMTS variation due to different partition layout, but it is fine if you don't flash from internal storage.

It is sad that the touch part of CWM is non-open source and implementing it requires much time. Currently I spend my time on porting Android 4.2 and not able to implement it. Hope someone here will bring us a touch recovery compatible with Android 4.2.
Looks like CyanogenMod team has merged my commit and ClockworkMod Recovery Builder is working for Xoom again. I have updated ClockworkMod Touch and non-Touch Recovery 6.0.1.9 in the first post.
Wanted to let you know so far so good on the stingray. Flashed to touch zip. Backed up and restored also flashed a ROM. Will update if I find a problem.

MZ604, I did have a backup made by team rogues recovery in /clockworkmod/backup but I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference. As I just selected the one made by this recovery when trying to restore. I'll give it another try when I get back from work. It may have just been a bad backup

Can you try to change backup format and backup/restore again? Have no idea how this happens since it works fine on my Xoom, but restore from backup with different format will show the same error message you provided.
ok, maybe this is stupid but i don't know. i recently was able to get my evo hboot back down to 0.76.2000 and i'm like all excited and stuff. it works and i'm happy.
here's the potentially stupid question... when creating a backup in the mentioned recoveries, they create a backup of BOOT. does BOOT mean HBOOT?
Second question... in the backup recovery is listed. is that the recovery such as twrp, ra. cwm?
the reason i ask is i'm planning on restoring a backup and i don't want to lose my hboot. the recovery was done on hboot 2.16
i have three oreo cookies for the first person who know, answers, and doesn't call me a dumb-ass.

I believe you will have to reflash whatever Rom or kernel you had after you recover your backup, since you changed Hboots. Usually it will not boot into the operating system, but will go directly to Hboot instead.

ROMs have nothing to do with hboot, they are contained in the /system and /data partitions while hboot is located somewhere esle. The only interaction between the two is that hboot is what tells the how to start up and that is what then loads up the actual ROM on the Android VM

2.10 yes, but I've had Hboot 0.76 after downgrading from 2.10, 2.16, and 2.18 and that was the case. I always had to reflash the kernel to get it to boot into the operating system, or else it would go directly to Hboot. It's an old engineering bootloader unlike 2.10.
I use a zip called superwipe. i'll have to get back to you on where i found it, but i think it would be a good solution to your TWRP/RA dilema lol. all you do is flash in recovery the superwipe.zip, and it automatically deletes cache/dalvik cache/data, three times, then sends you back to the recovery menu, where you can just simply flash your desired rom zip. sorry if this was already mentioned... i didn't read all of the reply pages
its called ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.ZIP, im sure google will point you to the download location

Twrp factory reset/data wipe wipes 2x in one click everything except dalvik which its wipe option wipes 2x as well as a matter of fact I think every single wipe option in twrp automagically runs 2x it jist formats the partition and then reformats it again everytime you swipe the slide

I am rooted and was using CWM to flash Cyanogenmod. I did a factory reset and then did a restore. The restore went through, but upon reboot the message "Unfortunately, the process com.goog.process.gapps has stopped" appeared. Pressing "ok" only made more dialogs appear. A selection to use Nova Launcher and Touchwiz was also there but I was only able to launch Touchwiz. I don't have any service on the phone and it seems to have locked me out of my Samsung and Google account. I went back into recovery and did another restore and wiped the cache and the dalvik cache based on another thread I saw. Upon reboot, "Android is upgrading" appeared and acted as if it was reinstalling apps or something. Once I got to the home screen the same thing was happening though. I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate help.
I just realized I forgot to install the gapps.zip I had downloaded and was hoping that would fix it. It did not and is still doing the same thing.

you only need to flash the gapps package once right after you flash the rom.....when you make a back up of the rom it also backs up the gapps....so when you restore you get what you backed up so you wont have to flash the gapps again
I had this exact problem when I restored my stock ROM with CWM. The only thing that solved the problem was a factory reset.
Then I discovered Philz recovery. I've don't literally dozens of nandroid backups & restores since, without a single issue. Hopefully installing Philz touch recovery will do the trick for you, too.

This makes me feel a little better. I am still pretty fresh to this world so could you point me in the direction of an idiot proof guide to do this? Am I able to do this with my phone already in this weird state?
EDIT: Or should I do a factory reset, download and install Philz, and then do a restore?

Sorry if I sound clueless, but put Philz on my external and then flash using CWM recovery? And is flashing just installing a zip? Everything I have seen hasn't been too specific and seems to be focused on people who already know what's going on.

Reboot into recovery meaning one of the advanced options in CWM? I just want to to make absolutely sure before I accidentally do something I shouldn't.

Press and hold the home button, the power button and volume up button to get into recovery. Once there, find the philz zip and install from within CWM...

Installed fine, tried doing a recovery and after reboot, same issue. Just did factory reset and restoring again. Will post results when done.
EDIT: After second restore I am getting the same issue. Am I skipping a step after the restore that I should be doing?
Sigh, after Philz didn't work I tried the factory reset. While it "worked" and I was able to link my Google account back, I don't have any cell service. Is there a way to reassign my Sprint account to the phone?

when you did the factory reset did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? and since your on the stock ND8 rom you can flash KToonsez kernel for 4.4.2 touchwiz then flash the NDC Modem and see if that fixes the signal

Yes I did. I've been seeing something about a corrupted efs partition and that seems to lineup with what is happening to my phone. It doesn't easy or even very doable to fix without a backup of the efs.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 follow instructions on that post and you'll have stock ND8 running in no time just YOU MUST USE DESKTOP ODIN 3.09 to flash it
so you'll be on stock 4.4.2 Touchwiz......if you want to get custom recovery use Philz and flash through Odin as well just make sure the Philz is .Tar.Md5
I really appreciate all the help guys. I ended up going to Best Buy (we have Geek Squad insurance) and they initially sent me over to Samsung who I knew wouldn't do anything about it since it was rooted. I went back over to Geek Squad and they filed a claim and a new one is on the way. Once again, thanks and sorry for anticlimactic conclusion haha. I'm going to wait a while before trying anything on this one and will probably test stuff on the old one first.

I am testing the newest build right now as it is uploading so if you open the download folder and dont find 5.0.2 right away just check back in 10 mins and it should be up.

Flashed per instructions with Philz 6.07.9.
GPS works great after fix.
Hotspot works great.
I was getting a lot of reboots when I first flashed, but I wiped caches and installed the Shift Kernel, and that seemed to have that fixed it for a while. But now I'm getting constant reboots. When it boots, as soon as the screen times out and dims, it reboots. Perhaps I changes some setting, or restored something with Titanium that I wasn't supposed to...
If I power off the phone with the power plugged in, I get the battery icon, and I need to pull the battery in order to reset the phone. But it also does this on the LiquidSmooth 5.01.
Otherwise, it looks great (love the boot animation) and looking forward to its maturity.

To try to help with the reboots, i have read in other 5.0 Roms when you first turn it on you need to turn on Wi-Fi before the screens goes black. You should be fine after that and can then turn off the Wi-Fi.

how do i get root on this? this one seems alot better then liquid smooth lollipop.but cant root?

Having some issues with the lollipop Roms. Hope I can ask here since this is my fav. Keep having dialer force close. Tried reflashing, clearing cache etc. Was working when I first flashed but then when I flashed aicp it started. Also my sprint connection shows ! a lot of the time. What could be the reason for this?

Just noticed I don't have root myself. Tried installing SuperSU and it said I don't have su binary installed. In philz I notice it says do u want to root when leaving recovery. I will try that to see if it kicks into play.
Edit: Tried going into philz settings and re rooting. It says install SuperSU from market. Did that and it freezes showing nothing but black screen. Maybe this is causing my other issues.

Same here with root, tried with recovery and super Su freezes.super user did nothing.I tried with Dr ketans kit and that didn't work either.after I tried all the root methods the signal started showing ! And stayed that way til I reinstalled.But not having root is my main issue.

The total format of internal and reinstall did not work.
I notice when you have the ! for service, this is when the phone app crashes when trying to make a call.
Not sure if this is a fix but I got mine working (service and making calls).
*Settings - More (wireless&networks) - Cellular Networks
Make sure preferred network is CDMA+LTE/EVDO
Click on Carrier Settings (I clicked the bottom one at first then tried the middle one and both worked).
*When you click on Carrier Settings it will force close. But, if you notice, the service icon goes blank and then reappears.
I waited a few seconds and LTE was active.
I tried to make a call and I did not get a force close. Went through fine.
If it doesn't work right away, try this a few times. This could be a fix or I just lucked out.
