"Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. 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."
What's new in 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
Download:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
Install:
Please go to TeamWin's download page for our device here, and install via the following instructions (found here):
"Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device while holding volume down until the boot screen shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed you will be able to use fastboot. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer."
Bugs:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
Support:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Notes:
~GooManager did not show any updates from 2.6.0.0 (at least for me), and I haven't seen or had time to make a flashable zip yet, so it looks like installing the .img via fastboot is the only way to update (for now).
~One of the changes listed is an update to SuperSU for 4.3. I was really hoping this might fix the rebooting issue I and a few others have with 4.3 ROMs, but unfortunately it doesn't seem so (at least in my case).
Credits:
All credit for this release goes to TeamWin.
I take no credit for this, just came across it via TeamWin's page for our device and didn't see it posted anywhere here yet.

Do you mind testing it? Make a backup and then boot your rom and try to copy it to a pc with a usb connection. TWRP always give an error and wont copy because of the encryption added in.

It seems that every backup I make has a date in like 1970. It's quite confusing to figure out which backup is which.
Any ideas? I'm running CWM 5.8.4.5 because any newer ones don't see the external SD card.
AFAIK all versions do this, use team win (TWRP) It will have the date wrong as well but it had a keyboard in the recovery for renaming as you create them. Plus sd card works and it's prettier.

Agree - just switched to TWRP the other day and ext SD card + "star trek" UI was welcome. The file copy/move/delete functions are especially handly because they can you out of a potential bootloop quickly that you can't get out of in CWM without reflashing/nandroid (or writing your own CWM script to specifically mod a file).
Only reason I waited so long to switch was not knowing how incompatible TWRP would be with all the various old CWM zips.

Its under batch, scroll down till you see recovery mode, only one option that says create update.zip. Correct me if i am wrong.
This is music to my ears. As a recovering flashaholic, I fully realize how much time it takes to restore 100+ apps. Plus, I always feel like my phone is so laggy during the restore, so it really does take about 15-20 minutes. This step will be a HUGE time saver.
The one question I have is does the first boot take longer? Would you almost recommend flashing the ROM and booting first, let the ROM settle and then boot to recovery and flash the TB zip?

It is not necessary to sign update.zip unless you are using a stock recovery. Since most of us are rooted, I imagine we're also using a custom recovery so it won't be necessary. Like another user said, just flash it like normal.
After I create update.zip, can I edit it on my PC to add/remove items?

have u checked the blobs folder internal and external sd card?
Which version of CM did you flash. If you flashed one of the nightly builds dated 12/17 and forward you may have flashed 10.1 which is JB 4.2.1. JB 4.2.1 modifies the directory layout to make way for multi-user support and puts the contents of your /sdcard/ folder to /sdcard/0/ which may cause your backups to not be recognized by CWM.
Before we can help we need to know which version you flashed. Thanks!

If you have USB MTP functionality you can just connect it to your computer and manually move your CWM folder from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard/
Then simply boot to recovery and CWM should see your list of backups.

I'm on the same boat as the OP. I tried doing what you recommended but the darn files won't copy and it takes ages. I'm helpless. Hating CM10 for ruining my life lol.
Aww don't hate on cm, the new update is causing some pretty big problems, but keep in mind it is only 3 days old. give it some time. =)
There are a couple of possible solutions:
1.) Flash back to stock using ODIN and then reinstall a custom recovery/ROM.
2.) ADB push the backups to the correct folder.
Either option should work just fine. In the future I'd also recommend TWRP as your recovery manager. It has a built in file manager that saved me on this issue by allowing me to copy the data to the correct folders within the recovery module itself.

This is what I figured. However, the backup fails with message "Error while restoring /system".
Tried using CWM 6.0.0.0 (which version is equipped with cm10 stable?) and installing cm10 stable prior to restoring my cm10 backup. It still fails and now I don't know what to do next. Any advice is welcome!
EDIT1: BTW: I need to restore my CM10 to remove my 4*4 pattern... when installing CM10.1, 3*3 pattern must be entered, which I don't know, so I cannot unlock my own phone... :/
EDIT2: Hold on... I did not know about incremental backups and hence I did not copy the blobs folder (within clockworkmod folder)... I will do that now and expect the restore to succeed then.
EDIT3: this works fine, remember to not only copy the folder "backups" but also all the other stuff of the clockworkmod-folder. or make a symlink in /data/media to the old location. works fine.

1. Open terminal, become root by using command 'su'.
2. Enter the following command:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/[backup dir] /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
eg.:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/2012-12-12.12.00.44 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
Reboot to recovery and select the 'backup and restore'. Now there will be another entry with your older backup. Restore it. Enjoy!

I was running CWM and decided to go back to TWRP for various reasons.
I used Goo Manager to flash the latest version. After flashing I went into recovery to make a backup of Wicked...then rebooted.
I then went to Rom Manager to see my backups....nothing there. Soooo I did another backup from Rom Manager.
After it rebooted I looked at my backups...still nothing.
So im back on CWM. Has anyone had this problem? Curious to know why its doing this.

You just don't know how to use TWRP or CWM very well.
If you saw CWM and TWRP successfully backing up your rom then the problem
is that you don't know how to navigate in those recoveries and find the backups.
You need to get better acquainted with twrp and cwm, if you do you will find the backups.
Perhaps they are in a folder... (hint hint)..........
I am very familiar with both. There are NO backups in the TWRP folder. Also Rom Manager list your backups. Once again it shows no TWRP backups. And yes I had Rom Manager set up for TWRP

If you just want to find the nandroid backups, why not simply use Root Explorer, or another
file manager and find the backups, that way you will see exactly where they are located.
Once you find the backups, you can move or copy them to any other folder you like
and restore with CWM or TWRP.
If you cannot find the backups, it means that twrp and or cwm did not successfully create the backups.
Good luck!

OK, I'm in a bit of a pickle and am hoping that someone with more knowledge can help me out. This is what I did.
Rooted the phone
Installed FreeGee
Installed TWRP through FreeGee
Copied a new rom to SD card
Entered TWRP and ERASED EVERYTHING BEFORE MAKING A BACKUP
Couldn't load rom from SD card
When navigating through the TWRP directory, there is a folder titled SD card. I thought my ROM would be in there, but it is not. I know I should have done two things that I didn't.
Backup my data
Copy the ROM to root folder like the instructions said to,
But I didn't do those thing. Now, I have a phone that will enter TWRP, but I cannot get it to find any ROMs I put on the SD card. Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation that I have caused?
Thanks an advance for your ideas.
Try connecting the phone to your computer and manually copying over another ROM.
If you didn't copy it to external card, and you wiped internal, then you don't have an operating system and need to use LG flashtool to get back to stock.

IIRC, the hacked TWRP is merely to ensure that the Official CM builds (which are marked for e986 only) can be installed on any LGOG Pro phone. You should still be able to see the external SD even with the FreeGee TWRP. Try fooling around in TWRP a little bit and see if you can get it to recognize the external SD.
Fixed It
Well, I tried looked throughout TWRP and could not find a resolution.
What did work was LGFlashTool and madmacks awesome instructions. Thanks everyone for your ideas.

OK, next time, if you forget to backup before you flash, boot your phone into TWRP recovery, select mounts and then mount usb storage, connect your phone to the PC and you should see in "my computer" the phone as a drive, copy the ROM you want to flash to that drive, if it is a CM ROM remember to copy the Gapps also. Disconnect from the PC and then continue with the ROM flashing procedure that we all are so familiar with. This way it saves you the trouble of having to go back to stock again in order to flash a custom ROM.
Glad you got it fixed.
