[RECOVERY][geehrc4g] TWRP 2.8.6.0 touch recovery [2015-03-26] - Sprint LG Optimus G

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.8.5.0:
-Scale the GUI - TWRP can read the theme's resolution and scale it up or down to fit the theme to your screen's resolution
-Backups can now be cancelled while the backup is in progress (does not include restore because we don't want to leave your device in a bad state)
-Improve thread handling and move input handling into the main rendering thread to improve stability
-Make MTP work even if unplugged and plugged back in
-Unify scrollable list code and make kinetic scrolling feel more natural
-Fix handling of mapped zip files for OTA updates (CM12 updater)
-USB keyboards should now work on all devices that support USB host mode via a USB OTG cable
-Other small fixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 2.8.4.0:
-Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)
-Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs
-Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled
-Fix various adb sideload issues
-Improve threading of actions
-Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout
-Update libblkid to 2.25.0
-Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation
-Add mutex locking to data manager
-Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices
-Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens
CHANGELOG for 2.8.3.0:
-MTP will now tell the host PC that storage is removed instead of disabling MTP completely
-MTP will now report the correct max file size based on the file system in use to the host PC (may fix transfer of large files)
-Update and improve fix permissions and make fixing contexts optional
-Update SuperSU in TWRP to 2.40 and update install process
-Make TWRP work properly on AArch64 (Nexus 9 is now built in true 64-bit binaries and libraries)
-Attempt to set correct permissions and contexts on all files placed in storage so backups will show in Android
-Fix kernel panic during MTP start on some devices
-Support unicode fonts on devices with True Type Font support
-Fix slider value not showing sometimes (vibration settings page)
-Toggle MTP off during adb sideload to set correct USB IDs
-Reduce library requirements for 5.0 L decrypt
-Other minor fixes and improvements
Note: Starting with TWRP 2.8.2.0 and higher, adb sideload uses a new sideload method originally implemented in AOSP recovery. You will need the latest adb binaries to use sideload in these newer versions of TWRP. The version required is 1.0.32. You can find the version by running "adb version" on your computer. The new sideload feature no longer stores the zip on your device. Instead, a fuse file system is created in RAM and the zip is streamed from your computer. This puts less wear and tear on storage and ensures that large zips will not fill up all of your RAM. The sideload may spit an error on your PC side, but the zip should install just fine on your device.
DOWNLOAD:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily with the TWRP Manager app:
Play Store Link
1) Install TWRP Manager from the Play Store
2) Open TWRP Manager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Advanced->Install Recovery
4) Verify the correct device name on your screen then press Install Recovery if the correct device is showing

This worked awesome. The install directions r very easy and now I'm ruining the latest version. Thank u

Praise the TWRP Gods! Official support. Works great.
EDIT: I had the other TWRP thread closed, and i had the same question about compression and if it was fixed.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]
Anybody know if we can use compression now?

Left the recovery on for 5 mins to check for heat and it's cool to the touch! It also goes on standby where u swipe to unlock. Very nice!

Dees_Troy, what device name are you using for this? (We are trying to standardize geehrc4g_spr/geeb_a/geeb_bell/geeb_rgr, etc).

Just did a full backup in TWRP.. including the new EFS1, EFS2 and EFS3 options. Used the compression option just to test.
Backup completed in 96 seconds. Wiped phone. Restored the compressed backup... system, data, cache, boot, efs1, efs2 and efs3 were all restored in 59 seconds. Rebooted system... all is good. Everything restored just fine it seems. I was not aware of any previous compression issues(I dont use the setting normally) so I'm not sure if there is some other compression bug in existence or what.. but things seem to be working.
And since people always want a flashable zip version of recovery I'm attaching the zip to this post. I will *try* to keep it updated with the latest version.

has anyone tried flashing the Jelly Bean port with this?
I had to switch to CWM to flash it and want to go back to TWRP as soon as there's a compatible build.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]
So much happening! Official support for OG, jelly bean ota. Good day for Optimus G users.
Is this something where I should have a full battery before flashing? I'm too excited to charge my phone up.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Its a great day for america everybody

Installed via Goo, rebooted into new TWRP and performed a backup using compression. During the backup I noticed the screen saver kick in. Unlocked the screen and let it continue to backup. After a minute I looked back at the screen and noticed it had turned off. The battery charging symbol appeared on screen (not sure if this occurred before or after I attempted to power up the phone). Anyhow, the LGOG failed to boot and instead went to a blank screen and began flashing the red notification light.
I had over 50% charge on the battery and the phone was plugged in while I was attempting to make a backup when this happened. Anyway, I had to open the phone up and detach and re-attach the battery connector in order to get it to boot up. This has happened a lot with my phone (the whole crash/power off in recovery), but usually only when flashing roms, never during a backup before. I'm not sure if it's my phone, the battery, or TWRP (haven't used CWM much, but it hasn't happened with it). I've had a ton of problems with my LGOG when it comes to flashing, LGNPST restore, etc. so who knows what's going on. Just wanted to share my experience.

Has the date/time stamp on the backups been fixed on this update?

just installed it through goomanager, about to try it out! hopefully it will make trying my test builds alot easier!

ok so i made a full backup including compression of every partition except cache and recovery. when i did this it took a while which i suppose is understandable considering how much music i have in google music anyway, the phone got hotter than it had ever gotten before and i literally almost burned myself on it. then i put it in the freezer and took it out when it was finished backing up. so just a warning to everyone who has a lot of data. hopefully this will be fixed now relatively soon now that there is official support

Oh my. I just installed this from goo manager and it seemed my phone is hard bricked after trying to get into recovery. Perhaps it's just me?
Method:
Lg Lifeless Rom -> LGNPST to ZV9 -> Root with engine95's method -> Install Goo -> Install OpenRecovery -> Restart trying to go into recovery -> Phone unresponsive. Won't turn on, won't light up when plugged in, just stays completely black with no lights.
Any idea what could have happened? The Goo Manager method may not be so safe.
Edit: Seems to have started up again with a factory reset when I held power for 5 minutes. Held the power that long and it randomly lit back to life. The LGNPST finished and the phone was reset several times, so not sure what happened.

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]
I suspect that overheating issues are related to the fact that the Optimus G like the Nexus 4 doesn't have any built-in thermal management. On Nexus 4 I switched to using show-p1984's Bricked kernel that has built-in thermal management to prevent overheats. Until we can come up with a similar solution on the Optimus G it is recommend that you NOT use compression in your backups.

Were the Goo instructions taken down on purpose due to WASSHOI's problem?

-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

Works and Yes install through GOO is fine. Only issue experienced from the install so far is when in recovery trying to type or select sometimes creates double entries or backs out of the function completely. But aside from that it is working as expected.

so awesome to have this on the note.
just wondering, does installing this through goo fix the problem we had with CWM root method where if you boot into recovery it would auto write a script to reinstall the standard recovery? right now i am rooted but because of this bug with the new firmware my CWM is gone and i haven't used the adb instructions to fix it.
once you use TWRP you'll never go back to CWM imo

After installing TWRP and using recovery a few times and then rebooting back into system I am not seeing any root/unroot issues. All is working normally here. Which version of the Tablet are you running? I am on the GT-N8013.

What I am referring to is with the latest rooting method 2 and if you are on the latest firmware when you reboot the firmware automatically rewrites the cwm image. The only way to stop this is via adb check the instructions below that are to be used in the current method
0) Copy the SU/superSU zip file to your tablet.1) Boot into ODIN mode by holding volume down and power. Volume down is the one closest to power.2) Open ODIN on your computer, select the CWM tar.md5 file in the PDA slot, uncheck auto reboot.3) Hit start. It should flash recovery successfully4) Now you want to boot directly into CWM, or you'll lose it. So while holding down volume UP (the one farther from power), hold down the power button. When you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo, let go of power, or else you'll keep rebooting, but keep holding volume UP. Or at least that's what I had to do, which was kind of surprising coming from other Samsung devices.5) Once in CWM, flash the superSU zip file. Congratulations, you have root, but if you reboot now the firmware will nuke CWM. We don't want to have to flash it again, so let's remove the shell script that nukes CWM.6) Under mounts and storage in CWM, mount system.7) Back on your computer, run adb shell. If you forget to mount system it'll complain because it can't find sh, silly adb. For a second I thought Samsung didn't include sh out of the box and then I realized that makes no sense.8) Type su to become root9) rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
So anyways I personally don't know jack squat about adb so I am rooted but don't have cwm installed because it overwrite.
Flashing twrp with goo it flashes for me successfully it claims but when I reboot to recovery I still have stock recovery. I suspect because I didn't do the adb.instructions above that this is the problem
I was hoping flashing this would automatically remove that script you need to remove in adb

Actually, you don't need to use ADB, but that was just the fastest way to do it for me. The script doesn't remove root so you can let it boot up and delete the sript using a root file explorer (these days I'm partial to Solid Explorer Beta). But you'll just have to flash CWM a second time if you let it boot up once.

No recovery found using GooManager
I tried installing TWRP through GooManager, but after several minutes of 'Looking for recoveries...' I guess it gave up

Awesome I got it working now you definitely must delete the file referenced above if you have recently rooted on the latest firmware.
You can also manually flash with mobile Odin if you don't want to use adb like myself while goo is down. Just rename the file to recovery.img

Wanted to say thanks, Dees_Troy! Just picked up a WiFi GT-8013 and this is the first thing I put on it. If you need any help testing or whatnot, feel free to give me a shout and I will test you stuff

Finally got something to flash on this. Anyways it seems like something is messed up with the touchscreen in twrp recovery. Its either much too sensetive or won't scroll at all. Its near impossible to pick a file to flash right now for me anyways if its in a specific folder like downloads
Anyone else?

Yes, i´ve got the same problem, needed 10 minutes yesterday to pick up all the files for cm10 flash...

Same thing here, although I eventually got it to flash. CitizenX, if you flashed CM10, could you report whether your S Pen still works in the CM10 discussion thread? Mine just stopped working with the same errors I was getting last time the S Pen stopped working for me.

[TOOL/UTILITY][TWRP][3.0][RECOVERY] TWRP 3.0.2-0 TeamWin Recovery Project 4/5

[RECOVERY] [4/5/16] TWRP 3.0.2-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project
TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.0.2-0 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Att)!
Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvWVS_Rkxo
Full TeamWin credits are on the TWRP page on the TeamWin website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Key Features:
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for new features
In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.
We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

3.0.0-0
TWRP 3.0.0-0 is out now for all currently supported devices.
What’s new in 3.0.0-0:
Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
Update AOSP base to 6.0
A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!

2.8.7.0
- Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
- Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
- Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
- Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
- Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
- Add system read only option - more details below (Dees_Troy)
- Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
- Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won't prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won't try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don't take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.

-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
2.6.3.1
Add SELINUX Kernel and SELINUX improvements for backing up and restoring

Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match

Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
2.6.0.3
Reverted back to stock kernel with optimizations instead of CM kernel to fix boot times
2.6.0.1
Fix Data being listed twice in advanced wipe
2.6.0.0
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
Updated exFAT to latest commits
Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
Update SuperSU binary

Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
Various other bug fixes and tweaks
Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.
Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

2.4.3.0
Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)
NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.
Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar
Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff
Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices

FAQ
Q. Are there any themes I can use?
pctv007 has ported some themes for the Note2: http://www.mediafire.com/?34sulxbjxzb34
Q. Are there any themes I can use?
pctv007 has ported some themes for the Note2: http://www.mediafire.com/?34sulxbjxzb34
Q. Can I use Goo Manager to install TWRP if I am not rooted?
A. No, you will not have permissions to access the recovery paritition without a rooted system installed. This gives you the ability to have su installed as SUID root and with Superuser or SuperSu, you can give Android applications root access to use su to access the system as the root user.
Q. Where is the "Delete battery stats opton?"
A. We removed this option in 2.1. Please see https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT as reference.
Q. What happens if I wipe /data?
Good description also here: http://teamw.in/DataMedia
The Galaxy Note 2 is using the fuse filesystem to pretend /data/media is its own filesystem to external computers when you plug the phone into the computer. /data is one partition formatted as ext4. There is a subdirectory for media under /data which is presented as its own block device using fuse. Then mtpd uses this directory to present the directory to a host computer when plugging in via USB.
Never allow your computer to format this directory in case there is a problem with mtpd. Also NEVER wipe data under the Wipe menu unless absolutely necessary. This will remove all your files in /data/media.
On the original note, internal SDCARD was a separate file system formatted with the fat32 filesystem but exported directly through MTP.

for some odd reason i really cant get this too install .. had it on my original note ... trouble with this one

I had a problem with using odin to install the tar file and odin'd cwm instead. I tried to install twrp using the zip file in CWM but it just won't take. It aborts installation. Any insight would be great.

I think I know why it's borked in Odin now. I am tweaking my build script now and will upload them soon. I will post in the thread when it's done and if someone can test I would be grateful.
I am maintaining around 7 device threads now, so bear with me. Poor Dees_Troy has like 40 though.

Wait goomanager installed the tar file or is there a zip?
Nvm I found it

Just FYI, Goo Manager downloads the img file and install's TWRP for you. It will even alert you to new updates.

Successfully installed with Goo Manager and didn't run into any issues.
This is feeling more and more like it's mine now and not AT&T's

i can't get the bloody zip files to install. i used Odin to install CF-Auto-Root, then booted back up, verified root, downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0lteatt.zip, rebooted into recovery and it says:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
rebooted, installed GooManager, found the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0lteatt.zip, let it download it, then it rebooted and says:
E:unknown volume for path [/storage/extSdCard/goomanager/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0lteatt.zip
E:Can't mount /storage/extSdCard/goomanager/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0lteatt.zip
(also tried using /storage/sdcard0/goomanager/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0lteatt.zip with the same results)
am i an idiot or what?
careful...

Anyone else notice that external sd cannot be used?

It's in the first post as i317.

If you're using stock recovery you can't flash zips. In goo manager press menu then install OpenRecoveryScript to install twrp.

Starting with version 2.7.1.1, we're now doing a unified build for both the 1080p 7a and the 1440p devices. This means the same recovery image works on both devices and will provide you with the proper stock theme for your display. Of course, you can still install a custom theme if you like.

CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
-Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
-Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
-Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
-Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
-Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
-Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
-Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
-Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

FYI, I tried to install it with TWRP Manager. It stopped at the "Downloading Image" status bar on my F7a. I tried to download it manually, and it worked. Probably some write permission issues.
I ended up flashing it with fastboot and it works like a charm.
Thank you Guy´s!

Any possibilities to flash on Mac OSX?

TWRP Nightmare
Every time I install TWRP, it gives me problems. I was gonna flash cm11 using TWRP, so I flashed it via fastboot to my phone. Now, whenever I boot the phone, it boots straight into the recovery. Even if I boot into system from recovery, it still boots back into TWRP. I tried both versions 2.7, and 2.7.1, but the same result. This isn't even the weird part. Whenever I flash another recovery, like CWM or PhilZ, if I reboot my phone, it goes BACK to TWRP recovery! Wtf? When I flash OPPO's recovery, the phone gets stuck at the OPPO logo forever. What could be wrong? If I need to provide more info, let me know. I didn't think flashing roms and recoveries on this phone would be so frustrating. I never had this much trouble flashing recoveries and ROMs on my Galaxy S2. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone else having problems with the time being displayed in TWRP? My backups are time stamped 1970 as well. I had this problem on Gummy's recovery as well so maybe it's the phone's internal clock that is off?
*edit*
googled and found partial answers.

I'd say start fresh and work through it.
Do a fresh fastboot flash and provide that log/entry here.
Then after you boot TWRP again, wipe system/data/cache/davlik, flash your ROM and before you reboot provide the recovery.log (from Settings or Advanced I believe, will copy to your SD card).
If you still aren't able to boot into Android I'm guessing we can find the problem there there.

I can confirm that too. The recovery seems to be working, because the touchscreen aswell as the software-buttons are responsive, but there is only a black screen every time i boot into it.

yeah this did not work for me either. Also, after reflashing the recovery that I was using before (find 7a 6-12-14) the same thing happens. I have no access to my recovery now.

v2.7.1.1. is not working with me either, just a black screen and flashing on and off, gonna try reverting to gummy twrp

Sorry I probably misspoke. I was using the first port from the F7a for the F7. It was 1080p and everything. Never bothered updating it until now. Yeah, I know about fastboot and took care of it. Thanks!
I can't wait until the offical twrp is updated/fixed. the team gummy version is so annoying.

CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
-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

-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
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.

Hi,
As you know in find 7 QHD device, TWRP 2.8.0.0 is showing only Full HD, and it is not detecting the QHD Resolution properly.

2.8.0.0 is usable, but this was a side effect of the LVM rework being done in the device tree. I began moving the recovery init script out of msm8974-common and into the find7 device-specific tree - but while I deleted it from -common the patch which readds it to the find7 tree isn't merged yet. Fortunately the only function that script serves is to detect QHD and copy the appropriate theme - but the 1080p theme will at least be usable on QHD devices in the meantime. Sorry about that.
I just got back from vacation, I need to talk to Dees_Troy, but likely the build that contains the fix for QHD devices will also contail full LVM support.

Thanks for the update @Dees_Troy .. still having a graphics glitch in 2.8.0.1. It's got this invisible line running down the screen
Find 7(s)

Just wanted to ask, the thread name says 2.8.1.0 but I can not find this up to date build for the Find 7 anywhere, website and TWRP Manager app both show 2.8.0.1 as the newest version.
Am I looking in the wrong place or is the thread title incorrect??

Downgrade to jellybean stable color os then flash in fastboot TWRP 2.8.0.1 do not boot into color os hold pwr vol down boot into TWRP it shoulb be gone flash desired rom if you flas kitkat Color os it'll come back I think is something in the newer bootloader thats brakin it.

[RECOVERY][gardalte] TWRP 2.8.4.0 touch recovery Samsung Galaxy Light [2015-1-28]

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Phone look:
Tablet look:
CHANGELOG for 2.8.4.0:
-Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)
-Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs
-Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled
-Fix various adb sideload issues
-Improve threading of actions
-Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout
-Update libblkid to 2.25.0
-Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation
-Add mutex locking to data manager
-Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices
-Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens
CHANGELOG for 2.8.2.0:
-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP
-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use
-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices
-Other minor fixes and updates
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
Also note that you will need the latest adb binaries on your computer to sideload with this new version of TWRP.
CHANGELOG for 2.8.1.0:
-MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
-TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
-Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.1:
-Fix a bug that causes weird graphics glitches and touch issues
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
-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

-Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower

CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 2.8.1.0:
-MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
-TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
-Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.1:
-Fix a bug that causes weird graphics glitches and touch issues
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
-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 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
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
CHANGELOG for 2.7.1.0:
-Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks

Thank you for posting this. I'm trying to find out how to install this on my Samsung Galaxy Light phone after I've already rooted it and if that's even safe. Can someone please let me know?
Thanks so much.

Thanks for posting this. I experienced 1 small bug. When I select anything from the Reboot Menu in TWRP (System, Power Off, Recovery, Bootloader, Download), the phone freezes for about 2 minutes before proceeding. The phone doesn't respond to any inputs after I make a selection. After 2 minutes the phone will proceed with the selection I made. So it works, but lags on that menu. Minor inconvenience.
Edit: I discovered the Reboot Menu responds instantly (no lag) if I wait 1-2 minutes before making a selection. For example: I open the Reboot Menu and let phone (untouched) sit for 1-2 minutes. Phone will instantly respond to menu selection. Weird.
