Introduction
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 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.

Installation instructions
NOTE: Read the FAQ from Post #2 to ensure that you're installing the correct version of TWRP!!
TWRP Image Install method:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed.
Download the latest version of TWRP appropriate for your device/firmware
Reboot to TWRP
Hit Install and tap the "Install Image" button in the lower right
Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
Alternate Installation Method:
Fastboot Install Method:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
adb reboot download
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Code:
fastboot reboot

[U]Additional Notes[/U]
[LIST]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 updated 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![/LIST]

[U]Additional Notes[/U]
[LIST]Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
[*]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 [url]https://jenkins.twrp.me[/url] and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at [url]https://gerrit.twrp.me[/url] to help us keep devices up to date and working.[/LIST]

Bug Reporting
If you have an issue, the first step is to post a recovery log so we can determine the cause of the issue. This is done in recovery using Advanced -> Copy Log, or adb pull /tmp/recovery.log. Once a log is uploaded we can determine how best to proceed. NOTE: Posts that are reporting bugs or issues without an accompanying recovery log will be ignored! Additionally, providing details about your device setup, including variant, firmware version, and exact steps to reproduce your issue will also be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

XDA:DevDB Information
TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP), Tool/Utility for the HTC 10
Contributors
Captain_Throwback, Dees_Troy, bigbiff, _that, nkk71
Source Code: https://github.com/TeamWin/android_bootable_recovery
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 3.4.0-0
Stable Release Date: 2020-06-24
Created 2016-04-13
Last Updated 2020-06-25
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is this device different than my previous HTC device?
With the 10 (and the M9 and A9 prior to it), HTC has moved to a block-based OTA system. This means that even mounting system as read-write (as TWRP typically does during startup checks) will nullify the device's ability to take an OTA. Any other changes to the system partition will also cause an OTA to fail (even if that check is removed from the OTA zip) due to "unexpected contents." Additionally, see this thread.
2. I decrypted my device and now I don't have signal. Did a TWRP update cause this?
No, this is not a TWRP issue. It appears that on the HTC 10, having a decrypted device prevents the SIM card/telephony from initializing, resulting in no mobile signal or data connection. The device comes with forced encryption enabled and currently must remain that way in order for mobile signal/data to work. TWRP does not change or affect any of that.
3. Which version of TWRP am I supposed to use?
For all ROMs except stock-based Nougat ROMs: The best version to use is 3.4.0-0, the latest official TWRP from twrp.me.
For stock-based Nougat ROMs: The best version to use is 3.2.3-0, from twrp.me.
4. Why is there a "System" backup option and a "System Image" backup option now?
The "System" option is the standard tar backup. "System Image" is a dd backup of the entire system block device (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system). The "System Image" option is only relevant if your system is unmodified. This allows you to make a fully stock backup that can be restored later to take an OTA.
NOTE: You only need to choose ONE of these options when making a backup!!
[*]NOTE 2: If you are using a FAT32-formatted card, a "System Image" backup may fail (depending on your variant), due to the 4GB file limit on that format. For a successful System Image backup, internal storage or NTFS/exFAT-formatted external storage must be used (either SD card or USB-OTG)
5. How am I supposed to root?
Since the 10 has dm-verity enabled and forces encryption by default, root can only be achieved using a "systemless" root method. Magisk is the recommended root solution, as it is actively developed and up-to-date. It also allows devices to pass Google's SafetyNet API for working contactless payments. See the below thread for full details.
Magisk
6. How do I backup stock recovery prior to flashing TWRP?
You can't. The "fastboot boot" command appears to be disabled on the 10's ABOOT, so TWRP must be fastboot flashed over stock recovery. You can however, extract the stock recovery.img from the OTA firmware.zip when it's received and use that to install the OTA.
An alternate method to obtain a stock recovery is listed below, but it requires 2 devices (either owned by you, or help from someone else in the forum):
Someone fastboot flash twrp and immediately make a backup of boot and upload it to XDA.
Once the above is available, someone else download that boot.img to their device, and fastboot flash twrp to the BOOT partition of their device.
Once the above is done, reboot the device, which will bring up TWRP, and then backup stock RECOVERY in TWRP, and upload to XDA.
Then, from within TWRP, use the Image install feature in TWRP to flash the stock boot.img.
7. How do I restore stock system so that I can accept an OTA?
Check the "Mount system as read-only" box in the Mount menu.
Restore stock "System Image" backup (This will only work if you've made a System Image backup prior to making any modifications to /system).
Fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
NOTE: It is also possible to restore stock recovery via the TWRP GUI. Rename the stock recovery file to "recovery.emmc.win" and place in the backup folder with the stock system image. Recovery will then show as a restore option. MAKE SURE YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS, AS TWRP WILL BE GONE WHEN YOU REBOOT OUT OF RECOVERY!!
[*]NOTE 2: It is possible to install an OTA without using stock recovery (i.e. installing it with TWRP). TWRP will not flash the firmware.zip included in an OTA file. Please see here for a detailed description of the process.
Reboot to system, install OTA.
8. What if I have an RUU? Do I need to worry about all this OTA nonsense?
Not if you don't care about losing all your data. If you're S-ON and have an RUU available for your exact variant (model ID and CID must match) and software number (main version must be the same or newer), then you can get back to a fully stock state by relocking (fastboot oem lock) and flashing an RUU. However, if you'd prefer to take an OTA to keep your data intact, the method stated above is how to do so. Or, you can just run a custom ROM and wait for your ROM chef to update their ROM to the latest software (though you'll still have to find a way to update your firmware if you're not S-OFF)
9. After I go through all this and successfully apply an OTA, how do I make sure I have a clean starting point again?
After the OTA is applied and TWRP is flashed, it will once again detect an untouched system, which will mount system read-only and allow you to make a fully stock backup and start the process over again, this time with the new base.
10. After I restored my Data backup and boot back to Android, I'm entering the correct PIN/password, but it's telling me the password is wrong. What happened, and how do I fix it?
It appears that sometimes after restoring a backup of Data where security was enabled (such as a PIN or password lock), the device does not recognize the correct password. There are two ways to avoid this issue:
Disable security in Android before making a backup of data.
After restoring Data, while still in TWRP, use the TWRP File Manager to navigate to /data/system and delete all the locksettings.* files (such as locksettings.db, etc). When you reboot, the password will be gone.
11. Information about encrypted devices (by default all HTC 10 devices on Nougat+ are encrypted using FDE force-encrypt)
TWRP decryption on the HTC 10 on Nougat+ relies on the currently running ROM's own system files, to be able to decrypt your data partition.
If you intentionally or accidentally delete your system partition, and boot into TWRP without the needed system files, decryption will fail and you will be prompted to enter your password, which will continually fail due to the missing system files.
When the TWRP console is shown during decryption, you will see a red text: "Missing files needed by vold decrypt: /system/bin/vold".
If you encounter this situation, do not panic, do not format your data partition, you will most likely be able to decrypt again, once you have the needed setup back in place, without any data loss.
The easiest way to do this:
Cancel the decrypt prompt
Restore your last System or System_Image backup (no other partitions need to be restored!)
Reboot to bootloader and then back to TWRP (since currently the direct reboot to recovery is broken due to the lack of kernel source code)
Alternatively, in case you do not have a backup available, you can dirty flash whatever ROM you are running, or even fastboot flash a proper system.img, but considering that your system partition is not likely to have changed, since these days most things are run systemless, the restore is the easiest and fastest.
PSA for Devs regarding mounting system in updater-scripts
In order for ROM zips to function properly, ROM devs may need to change the way they're used to performing mount commands in their updater-scripts. Many ROM devs like to use busybox to mount system, like this:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
However, on newer HTC devices, this will not always be effective, due to the variable state of system when booting into TWRP (more information in the above post). The most reliable way to mount system in TWRP is to use the below command:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "ext4", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "/system");
Since this calls the mount binary and specifies the proper filesystem of /system, it will work regardless of the mount state of /system within TWRP.
The reason people are having issues booting ROMs flashed without the above command is because custom ROMs typically include a command to format system within the updater-script, like this one:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mke2fs", "-t", "ext4", "-m", "0", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system");
Notice that this calls the mke2fs binary directly and specifies the filesystem, so this command will run properly and format system. However, when the script attempts to mount system using the busybox mount command, it's unsuccessful, resulting in a failed ROM install (even though there likely isn't an error message) and an empty system partition. The same command format should be used both to format system and to mount it.
So, the solution is easy - replace your busybox mount commands with the direct version noted above. Running it that way should work regardless of the update-binary used, since it's not running mount directly but calling it (this makes a difference to some binaries for some reason). This will even work in situations where system has been mounted read-only by TWRP (more on that in the below post).
ROM Devs - please consider making this change going forward. The above method will ALWAYS WORK. Please use this and discontinue whatever other methods to mount system that you have previously used, as they will have inconsistent results, leading people to flash old versions of TWRP or blame TWRP for their errors.
I know HTC is changing how they do things, and it's different than we're all used to. Let's all adapt to the change together. .
You may notice that there's no device page for the HTC 10 on the twrp.me site. Well, obviously, that's because the device hasn't been released yet. However, if you happen to have the device already, you may be able to find a TWRP build for it somewhere, if you figure out where to look .
Once the device is released, please be assured that a device page will be created so everyone can easily get to it. Until that happens, I'll be keeping the thread closed. Thanks for your understanding!
Alright, since @topjohnwu was kind enough to post a TWRP backup from his release version device, I'm opening the thread and offering an "unofficial" release on the Downloads tab until I can get the official build working.
Here's a link to the build:
twrp-3.0.2-1-pme - DEPRECATED BY OFFICIAL RELEASE
P.S. If you happen to have the currently elusive Sprint variant of the 10, this version WILL NOT WORK. I do have a working version for Sprint, but I will need to wait for the release software before I post it.
UPDATE: As of the official 3.0.2-2 release, the Sprint variant is supported!

Thanks a lot man. I've got a minor issue here, take a look at the picture, it has a mouse cursor in the center for all time.
Also, would you mind me contact you on hangouts? I am curious about some questions, and I cannot contact using PM.

You're just going to have to ignore the mouse cursor for now. I can't get get rid of that without kernel source.
Sure you can contact me on Hangouts. I do prefer PM, though.
P.S. Added mouse cursor issue to current bug list.
I'm trying to do some preliminary setup for AOSP encryption support. Can someone with a device please try flashing the 3.0.2-2 version I just posted, and provide the recovery.log afterwards (provided it boots)? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Better yet, if someone can flash this 3.0.2-3 and pull a recovery log, and also post the output of lsmod either from adb shell or the TWRP Terminal, I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to a few things for decryption.
@Captain_Throwback
Tried 3.0.2-2 and 3.0.2-3, both cannot boot. Is there a way to pull logs?

When you say they can't boot, what do you mean? What happens, exactly?
When it tries to boot, does it get stuck? If so, do you have adb access? The OP says how to adb pull a recovery log. If not, then it'll just have to wait until I have one for me to try to fix it.

Thanks, but it looks like you've already removed encryption, so these logs don't really help for what I was trying to work on. I do appreciate your willingness to help, though.

It just blinks the splash screen for about 0.5 sec and then no output. About a few seconds later it reboot to system.
I tried to catch adb shell in that few seconds, but it seems it is too short for TWRP to initialize the adbd

Understood. I've seen that behavior before with decryption. That'll be difficult to debug without having to device in-hand, so it'll have to wait. Thanks for your feedback, and for being willing to test!
I'll pull down those other versions for now, since they add nothing but freezes.
I've removed the temporary version from the Downloads tab, as the official build has been updated.
And now we have a device page!

Is it possible to enable encryption once TWRP installed and dm-verity is disabled?
I'm talking about the old method of encryption where the /data partition is manually encrypted, rather than forceencrypt
Rooting and modding is great, but if the only way to do so is to disable encryption completely, I think that will change a lot of people's value prop.

TWRP doesn't support HTC's encryption. Not sure why you'd think there's a difference between the forced encryption and manual. They still use the same type of encryption on the stock ROM.
Once AOSP is available, decryption should be possible, but only on AOSP-based ROMs.

I understand that TWRP can't decrypt HTC's encryption, but what I'm wondering is whether it's possible to enable encryption on the HTC 10 after dm-verity has been disabled and root has been flashed.

[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.

- fix exfat
2.7.2.0
All thanks to @Dees_Troy
- fix crash in setting contexts on datamedia
- fix restoring data partition as f2fs after formatting f2fs
- mount data after being formatted
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. 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
2.7.0.1
-Add F2FS
-Fix splitting of /system during certain conditions
2.7.0.0

-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.

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

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 saving of backup partitions list
Fixed saving of last used zip install folder

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.

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
Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)
Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup
Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code
Fix Military Time setting persisting

2.4.0.0
Reverted back to kernel drivers for performance on EXFAT.
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
OK, I reuploaded the tars. Let me know if you guys still have issues.

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:

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

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

-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!

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!

Great job!
Just tested it on my S4 with device encryption. Unfortunately TWRP isn't prompting me for the decryption password like 2.6.1.0 did, so it can't mount anything.
Is this just a bug, or has device encryption support been removed?
Are the s4 variants going to see some love? :laugh:

I repacked this recovery for the ATT S4 (I337) and posted it on the ATT s4 thread.
The only issue I can find with this version of TWRP so far is the below:
1: randomly hanged at "Recovery booting..". A simple reboot fixed it and rebooted fine into recovery after battery pull.
I experienced no hangs at TWRP recovery screen as previously.

My problem is not related to backup and restore. My S4 is encrypted with "Android Device Encryption". For example: CWM recovery does not support this, so it can't mount any of the encrypted partitions. In other words, CWM is useless when using Device Encryption.
However, TWRP 2.6.1.0 is prompting me for the decryption password when i boot into the recovery, so i could flash/backup/restore/etc as if the device is not encrypted. TWRP 2.6.3.1 doesn't prompt me for the decryption password anymore, so it has the same issue as CWM: it can not mount the encrypted partitons and i virtually can't do anything.
As it is related to this post, I will post it here.:
Can anyone please confirm if it is working for AOSP roms as well now? I want to try cyanogenmod 10.1.3.
Many thanks for all your hard work fellas

CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.

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!

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.
UPDATE: I am no longer posting on XDA.

Installation instructions
TWRP Image Install method:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed.
Download the latest version of TWRP appropriate for your device/firmware
Reboot to TWRP
Hit Install and tap the "Install Image" button in the lower right
Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
Alternate Installation Method:
Fastboot Install Method:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Code:
fastboot reboot

[U]Additional Notes[/U]
[LIST]Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
[*]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 [url]https://jenkins.twrp.me[/url] and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at [url]https://gerrit.twrp.me[/url] to help us keep devices up to date and working.[/LIST]

Bug Reporting
If you have an issue, the first step is to post a recovery log so we can determine the cause of the issue. This is done in recovery using Advanced -> Copy Log, or adb pull /tmp/recovery.log. Once a log is uploaded we can determine how best to proceed. NOTE: Posts that are reporting bugs or issues without an accompanying recovery log will be ignored! Additionally, providing details about your device setup, including variant, firmware version, and exact steps to reproduce your issue will also be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Working on maKing a Wi-Fi only phone for my cousins birthday out of my old evo I tried to find "supersonic" in the twrp app but it didn't come up. Would you be able to fix that or should I just install it manually?

What TWRP app? There's no official TWRP app. The install method is listed on the Download page for the device and in the OP here.
On the download page it links to the twrp manager app. I am installing over clockwork mod so can't install with recovery and I don't have access to a computer.

Yeah, that's not an official TWRP app. You can disregard that. You can try Flash Image GUI or Flashify to flash recovery to your device, if you have to use an app, but I never recommend using an app if fastboot is available .
Yea I tried flashify but it locked up. Could I put it in a pc36img.zip and flash it from bootloader?

What about Flash Image GUI? There's a free version available on XDA (last time I checked).
The bootloader method should also work, it just requires having an appropriate android-info.txt.
I'll try flash image gui and report back thanks!

Did you find more than one?
Just wasn't sure that was the right one. I found it on xda. Flashed twrp 3.0 rebooted to recovery but it took me to the boot loader. Tried again same thing. I'll try flashing an older version

You might just have to wait until you get to a PC and do it via fastboot. That way should work without issue.
Unfortunately I'm in hospital so no computer access. I flashed an older version and that worked when I get out I'll try flashing 3.0 with adb thanks!

If you got a previous version installed, you should be able to flash the new version from within TWRP (as indicated in the OP).
Unfortunately it was 2.7 I installed I tried 2.8 but had the same issue

Is your EVO on the last available software update? I believe it was 5.07.651.6 or something like that?
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 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.

-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!
CHANGELOG for 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)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
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.

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!

This is a beautiful thing! Well done and thanks to all involved!!
MOTO X PURE EDITION!
1st THX for this as I am waiting for my device to arrive this week.
I plan to make the clark twrp device tree compatible with omnirom build sometime tomorrow.
After that, I'll see about getting official support!
Flashed with no problems. Thanks!
recovery not sticking
i ran the test command and it booted into TWRP just fine then ran the install command and got "writing recovery ... OK"
Is there a formal way of entering recovery mode? From the bootloader, I got the red triangle then hit power and up vol, got into the factory recovery menu
thanks for your quick work!

Flash SuperSU to gain root, then download any app that reboots into recovery: example app is I think quick reboot it has options to boot into recovery w/ root permission.
Hope that helps!
thanks for the quick response
All rooted, no more ads ... many thanks!
Also just did a backup to SD with no problem, and SD appears available under Install although I installed SU from internal.
So now that there's root, will xposed work?

Thank you. Worked great. I am now rooted, as well.

You could try flashing the android 5.1 arm64 version, just make sure to backup as always before flashing. Worst case scenario is probably that your device bootloops and you have to restore your backup.
Confirming that backup to, and restore from SD, work just fine.
I guess I forgot how to do all this. I flashed TWRP, went into recovery, went to restart menu and rebooted phone. I thought it was supposed to prompt me to install SuperSU at that point. It didn't so I downloaded it from the Play Store and it says it can't install.
What am I doing wrong?

You have to flash it, in recovery. I always use the beta, http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Likewise. Happy days are here again!
I have Xposed installed, and the phone booted. I'm still waiting for Optimizing apps to finish.
