CHANGELOG for 2.8.6.0:
-Fix daylight savings time rules for USA and Europe (_that)
-Allow mulitple overlays for popup boxes (Dees_Troy)
-Add pattern style password entry for decrypt (Tassadar)
-Keyboard improvements (_that)
-Update AOSP base to 5.1 (Dees_Troy)
-Reduce theme count to 5 and rely on scaling (Dees_Troy)
-Various scaling improvements (Dees_Troy)
-Improved handling of resources in the GUI (_that)
-Make scroll bar size proportional to list size (_that)

-Make console scroll per pixel with kinetic scrolling (_that)
-Support styles in XML to reduce XML size and improve consistentcy (Dees_Troy)
-Various other fixes and improvements (mdmower, bigbiff, codelover, etc)
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
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our NEW website! NOTE that the 2.8.6.0 version is ONLY available on our new site and is not available on our other, older mirrors!
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!

You'll have to reformat to FAT32. Most 64GB cards get formatted to exFAT which doesn't (and probably never will) have support in the Linux kernel.

Just installed with GooManager.
Checking out the user interface, first impression is very good.
Now backing up my phone (all options incl efs).
Tomorrow i will restore my phone from this backup.
Wil report if any bugs come up.

HELP!!!!
@ Dees Troy. just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for the awesome recovery for our i9300's. I installed the new 2.3.1 today and like the v.2.3.0 when i have tried installing some zips i get failed in red letters. I know that i could just restore back to previous backup i did right before i attempted flashing the update on my rom but i'm new to twrp and i would like to see if you could help me. when attempting this i have zip file sig. verification and force md5 check on all zips checked off. when i swipe to confirm flash. when it fails it says to disable the md5 check to avoid this error. i uncheck it and swipe again. then it says sig. verification failed error flashing zip. i know the zip file is good so what is the issue here. i'm flashing from ext. card and i have cleared cache, dalvic, system wipe, and reset. a little help would be awesome so i could figure this out. Thanks in advance.:good:

Subscribed.. thank you.

When trying to install via http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114 the md5 version it fails saying "<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid".
So I downloaded the Goomanager but it installs version 2.3.0.0 and not 2.3.1.0.
Why is that?

I just wrote why fev posts ago. 2.3.1.0 is packed with folders inside. I flashesd it via odin after repacking .tar with success.

Can you upload a tar file so I can install it via the recovery?

I can not update through goo manager either.
Only has previous version.

This is strange. On my Nexus 7 I was able to upgrage TWRP via Goomanager but not on my Galaxy S3.

[RECOVERY][TF201] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Touch Recovery! [2013-4-9]

TWRP 2.x-JB is now available for use on devices that have the Asus JB bootloader ONLY, please see our website for download information. Do NOT install if you are on the ICS bootloader.
We HIGHLY recommend users enable and backup your devices before flashing custom roms/recoveries or updating to the JB OTA with nvflash courtesy of AndroidRoot.mobi (this also makes your device essentially "brick-proof" so there's no reason not to do it)***
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.
Phone look:
Tablet look:
CHANGELOG for 2.5.0.0:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.5.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not be compatible with the new changes!
-Added scrollable partition lists for mount, backup, restore, wipe, and storage selection
-Add new SliderValue GUI element for selecting brightness and screen timeout (thanks to Tassadar)
-Re-work AOSP and TWRP code to improve license compatibility between GPL and Apache
-Added official theme for 1080x1920 portrait devices (HTC One m7, HTC DNA, HTC Butterfly, Oppo Find 5, Sony Xperia Z, etc)
-Fixed a problem with directory permissions on split archive backups (backups usually restored with no app data)
-Fixed a problem with md5 verification of backups
-Added a search function to libtar (thanks to kokotas)
-Improve handling of XML errors (fix permissions)
-Fixed handling of subpartitions
-Improvements to recovery.fstab flags
-Fixed a problem with decryption not being able to locate the decryption key in some situations
CHANGELOG for 2.4.4.0:
-Added another libtar hardlink workaround to fix restore of some backups (usually related to Ubuntu Touch)
-More fixes for the file selector
-Switched from using busybox md5sum to a direct C function call
-Fixed capturing the exit status of tar based backups/restore - TWRP will display that there was an error if there was one again
-Update exFAT to latest commits
-Added a build flag to disable using the ioctl for screen blanking
CHANGELOG for 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
-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
-Fixed persistence of the 24 hour / military time setting
CHANGELOG for 2.4.2.0:
-Add screen timeout - screen will turn off automatically after 60 seconds, saves battery and prevents screen burn-in especially on AMOLED devices
-Add a brightness setting (requires device specific setup and only some devices have been added)
-Add a root checker and offer to install SuperSU if the device isn't already rooted
-Add a write buffer to libtar backups, significant improvements to speeds when backing up to exFAT target, minor improvements for other file systems
-Check and offer to fix root permissions if broken
-Add an option for a 24 hour clock display instead of AM/PM (aka military time)
-Move stock recovery reflash check to occur during the reboot cycle
-Add support for some MTK6xxx devices
-Change libtar to vfork to help prevent memory problems
-Add a "clicked" effect to most buttons, file selector, and listbox
-Improve timezone listbox to be more like file selector (per pixel kinetic scrolling, etc)
-Remove some no longer used settings (Forced MD5 sum on zips, size checking on image backups)
-Other minor bugfixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 2.4.1.0:
-Fixed a problem with mkdosfs that formatted sdcards to 2GB
-Fixed handoff between vfat and exFAT on devices where blkid didn't detect vfat (fixes some issues with mounting sdcards)
-Fixed problems with changing working directory on MD5 creation/checking that may have prevented unmounting
-Backups will now store a copy of the backup log after the backup is completed (only if backup is successful)
CHANGELOG for 2.4.0.0:
-Using libtar instead of busybox's tar for better control over tar file creation and breaking the 2GB barrier that busybox imposes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for exFAT formatted sdcards (also thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for decrypting Samsung TouchWiz encrypted devices including internal and external storage (special thanks to a3955269 for figuring it out)
-Improvements to OpenRecoveryScript including displaying a proper GUI while the script is running
-Added wipe cache and dalvik after ADB Sideload
-Replaced many system calls with their native C counterparts
-Fixed bugs in file manager where it would display an empty list after moving or deleting a folder
-Fixed AOSP recovery commands to run after decryption on encrypted devices
-Improvements for building TWRP in CM10.1
-Other minor bugfixes and improvements
NOTE: 2.4.0.0 is, as always, still compatible with your older backups!
CHANGELOG for 2.3.3.0:
-Fix renaming backups with a space in the name
-Add decrypt button to mount page if you cancel decryption during startup
-Added ignore blkid flag
-Fixed handling of MTD partitions during mount
-Fixed some keyboard mapping issues on 800x1280 layout
CHANGELOG for 2.3.2.0:
-Fixes / enhancements to handle the multiple user setup introduced by Android 4.2 (see notes)
-Fixed a bug with deleting a backup with a space in the name
-Added highlights on keyboard key presses
CHANGELOG for 2.3.1.0:
-Unmount system after boot to prevent some status 7 symlink failed errors on zip install
-USB Mass Storage code improvements
-Better handling of mounting storage during boot for some devices
-Fixed a problem with sizes of images (boot & recovery) after resetting defaults
-Fixed size errors during backup for some devices on recovery, etc.
-Fixed a problem with restoring backups when multiple archives were present
CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app: (THIS METHOD IS CURRENTLY DISABLED FOR THIS DEVICE SEE THE WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO FLASH)
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!
NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.

WTF. I just said today I wish TWRP was on the TFP. Wow. I love it on my Sensation now and I know I'll love it on my TFP. Thanks Team Win!!!

Do we need to unlock the bootloader to flash this recovery?? I would prefer option "ADB / Terminal method"

Amazing, my cable is at work, or else I'd be flashing this right now! I love to see the prime get supported, thanks Team Win!

Of course you need to be unlocked
Anyone install yet how do you like it?

one question: is this like CWM? can it replace that?

Awesome!! Only Recovery I'll use on my Evo 3D, it is simply amazing!!! Thank you Team Win for all of your hard work!!

Yes, this is a custom recovery and you can only use one. CWM is the most common as it has support on a lot of devices. That said, I've never been a fan of CWM and used other recoveries on my last couple of phones. TWRP(Team Win Recovery Project) is an awesome touch recovery that has never once failed me and works flawlessly every time on my Evo 3D. CWM didn't wipe certain partitions on the Evo 3D for the longest, not sure if it even does now. TWRP has always wiped just fine and is very user friendly!!!

this is awesome..a few things though
if you have backups already that you made in clockwork they do not come up in the restore section. not sure if there is a way for them to appear or not but this could be a problem
also, like clockwork it appears to have the dating bug where if you make a backup for some reason it is naming it as the 5th month right now. 2012-05-24-1-0-5 something like that the same bug has been in clockwork as well.

This is awesome man! Now I can have twrp on my Evo 3D and my Prime. Looks like I'll have something to do work tomorrow.

Hi!
It's awesome!
I have successfully installed it from cwm 5.2.8.0 with the zip file.
After installation, i made a backup and wiped all data, cache and system.
I try to install aopk, wsg, virtuous prime and primalicious without any problem!
And the same thing with motleys and snb kernel 's.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate you taking the dive and running all those "tests"
By the way, which AOKP did you try this out on? v1.3 with Reboot to Recovery or just normal? I'm curious to see if the former works OK on this recovery as it'll only work on repacked CWM...

i use aopk 1.3 now for test it.
each time i use power+ vol down... no reboot to recovery.

OK, I see known issue about "no reboot to recovery"... in the OP.

Has anyone else experienced booting to recovery from powered off state?
I'm on Eos #7 and this morning after I flashed it, I decided to power off. When I turned it back on, it went straight to recovery. No worries though as hitting reboot -> system took me right back out of recovery.
Just giving feedback. Hope it helps.

Same question here. I'm really interested in this. Will I still be able to restore from backups made from CWM? I also have Rom Manager installed. I take it that after I install this recovery, there is no need to keep Rom Manager? I only use it to see if CWM has issued any updates anyway. -Thanks

Unfortunately CWM backups are not compatible. So I'd suggest making a fresh backup as soon as you flash TWRP. I'll add this to the OP.

So we can just flash this from cwm?

Flash went fine. I'm backing up now. I guess if I ever really need a cwm backup, I could always reflash cwm and restore so I think I'll keep those backups anyway. Can you verify that there is no need for Rom Manager now? Thanks for the great work!

Correct, no need for ROM manager. We're working with the Goo.im team and have support in the works for the tf201 with goo manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
If any of your favorite ROMs are hosted there you can use that app to get notifications of new builds, AOKP and EOS are supported. You can also download the recovery flashable .zip through the app too.

-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.

Same here, tried both goomanager and fastboot method

Tried to install it from goomanager and now I can't boot into recovery. also, when I used rom toolbox to boot into recovery, i got force closes from gapps and a few others. Weird behavior. Any idea where I should start looking?

I've been using TWRP since the beginning of time and absolutely love it! I guess my last excuse for not rooting has finally been put to rest

I did as the man said and flashed through fastboot. Like you, I get the gapps fc when I try to boot in recovery via goomanager or rom toolbox. Kinda weird, and I'd like to get rid of it. Pretty sure it's not a part of flashing this recovery, though. Gotta be in how we rooted and flashed recovery the first time.

Dees, thank u so much ma man. Yur the best.

Never mind I already did it. Awesome! Thanks dees troy. I just did a backup (which was over 2.5gb even with compression) and I backed up boot, system, data, and I think it was called efs. do I need to backup efs? I've only owned a nexus 7, so I'm not too familiar with sammy. also when I went to reboot, it said that I appeared to have lost root, and offered to fix it for me. Is that because I rooted using the motochopper method and not cf-root?

I think we'll see development starting to pick up in the coming days

Great job. Touch sensitivity is off, for me anyway. For example, when choosing files to install it is almost impossible to use the slider tab. It is also hard to flick through the files. Keeps registering as a push, click, instead of a flick, Swype. Not at a computer so I can't test adb or mounting. Install, backup and restore is good. Backup location is good.

Noob question, I see in a changelog it added root checker and ability to install SuperSU if not. Is it possible if unrooted to install GooManager, install this then root? Or just root then install this is easier.

You can't install recovery with GooManager unless you are rooted. You can use the Odin flashable tar then boot TWRP to root if you like.

[RECOVERY][flounder] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-05-19]

The theme is a bit undersized. We're using the 1200x1920 theme that's also used on the Nexus 7 2013. At this point we do not feel that it's worth the effort to maintain a stock TWRP theme for 1536x2048 unless more devices pop up using this resolution.
At least running the stock ROM from Google, the Nexus 9 is *ALWAYS* encrypted even if you did not set up encryption. It uses "default_password" as the default password. TWRP can decrypt this and will do so automatically if the default_password is in use.
If you have not unlocked your bootloader, you will need to do so. Hold volume up and down while turning the device on. You will be in the bootloader. Do a "fastboot oem unlock" followed by a "fastboot reboot" from your computer to unlock. This will wipe all of your data including internal storage so back up anything you might want first. If you do not fastboot reboot before installing TWRP, you will probably have to perform a "Format Data" from within TWRP. It is highly recommended that you let the device boot normally immediately after doing the fastboot oem unlock and wait to install TWRP after the first successful boot after the unlock.

Yeeeessss!
Getting this going right now.

Nice work !!

Yay!!!! Thank you so much!!

The app crashes when i select the divice i want to use.

Got it up and running fine. Looks good. Didn't do much, just flashed a different system font but that worked.
The TWRP application from the Play Store didn't work at all, just crash after crash. So just installed the recovery.img with fastboot and everything is fine.

Great to see this!
Question, I read on g+ that decryption is causing issues with making backups other than a raw data image (much lager than a .tar or .win as you use) so this does work now? Also you noted that adb sideload and USB OTG were the only ways to flash a new ROM, is this still the case or will we be able to flash from internal data?
Maybe the best thing for me to do is just flash and find all this out....
Thanks for the great work once again!

Wohooooo . Awesome.

As noted in the second post, decrypt of the data partition is working properly on the Nexus 9. I waited to do this release until I got the data decrypt working so none of those issues apply anymore.

Excellent. Making a backup now.

[TOOL/UTILITY][TWRP][3.2][RECOVERY] TWRP 3.2.1-0 TeamWin Recovery Project

[RECOVERY] [4/5/16] TWRP 3.2.1-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project
TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.2.1-0 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (GSM)!
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
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.

-TWRP will now detect and install TWRP themes automatically through the normal zip install process (Dees_Troy)
-translation updates - added Italian, Czech and Polish and significant updates to Dutch
-progress bar improvements - progress bar updates during image flashing and better tracks progress during file system backups (tar) (Dees_Troy)
-fix input box text display (Dees_Troy)
-reboot option after zip install complete (bigbiff)
-other mostly invisible bug fixes and improvements
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!

2.8.7.1
- fix OTG
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.

AWESOME - will be flashing soon - thanks - as always for your work - it is greatly appreciated!
Flashed and booted successfully into recovery -but saw somethnig I have never seen before -
System partitian unmodivied twrp can leave your system partitian unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. Twrp will be unable to prevent stock rom from replacing twrp and will not offer to root your device.
Swipe to allow modification...
I assume this means if I select allow modification - it will flash as normal but then would not allow official updates - is that correct?
ALso - OTG is not currently working - hoping this will be taken care of sometime in the future?
I have never seen this before and wondered what the ramifications of this are?

I had problem installing this through ODIN using img.tar.md5, it would failed to download to device and the device would not boot system/receovery , I had to download the img file and flash it using flashify since CWM doesn't do img flashing. Will there be zip file available in near future? Other than that, so far so good everything is working as usual!

When I flashed the TWRP Tar in Odin - it flashed and then seemed to hangup at the end when it was clearly finished flashing - it just sat there for a while - maybe 20 seconds - but then it completed the flash and booted immediately into TWRP when I saw the initial warning/tip I mentioned in my previous post - but it did complete the flash from ODIN it just took longer than usual.

Mine just flashed and then it failed right away and download mode stays on, tried to reboot to recovery to test but it have me an error something about update system failed, try to restore from smart switch on PC. Sop I had to go back to arter's custom CWM from ODIN and then the phone boots up again. Lucky that Flashify managed to flash TWRP img file and everything is working. My model is N920I.

GSM means international lte version ? like n920C ?

I will look at enabling OTG soon. 5.1.1 on all phones introduced dm-verity on the system partition. If it gets modified, OEM updates are disabled, and the OEM kernel will fail to boot. If you want to keep completely stock, you need to keep the system r/o
Flashing custom roms/kernels with this turned off will make it so you can have it r/w. R/O will backup the entire system as an image using dd.

All GSM versions should potentially work.

Just thought to let you know that the "twrp-2.8.7.3-noblelte.img" also works
100% (except for OTG) on my G928T S6 Edge+ phone.
On twrp itself you forgot to change the version number from 2.8.7.0 to 2.8.7.3
When I go into twrp recovery the version still says 2.8.7.0 but it's only cosmetic.
Thanks for all your work!

Can someone test http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-noblelte.img.tar for OTG please?

I left my darn OTG at home and cant test until after work - if no one else does, I will try i tthen and will report back. Thanks BigBiff - really appreciate your work!

works on n920c thanks however the odin flashable tar didn't work I made my own tar file without the cach ims don't know why

Installed - but won't recognized OTG when I try to mount in TWRP - I seem to recall you needed the DSMEG after attempting to put the OTG in - but I don't remember how to get the DMSEG - any help is appreciated and I will post the log after I return - assuming I get instructions on where to get it
thanks

Hm, how did you make the tar, just removed the cache.img?

I flashed this using flashfire beta app... installed the .tar file using the firmware flash function in flashfire.
This worked well... only thing I noticed was it shows as v2.8.7.0 but the download link shows as v2.8.7.3
Not sure which it is supposed to be, but either way, it did install.
Thanks. I don't yet have an otg, or else I would be willing to test that feature for you.

I had to install SDK Tools - and Java - once installed I confirmed device is connected - went to recovery and tried to connect OTG - immediately after I attempted the commands you gave in Terminal on my computer and I got a message saying could not find the path specfied - I know I am doing something wrong but can't figure out what?
I did try using the Terminal in TWRP - and did a command for dmesg and when I checked in my sd card after booting - I found there was a file there - it is called dmsesg but I don't know if it is what you are looking for - (Even a broken clock is corect twice day) hope this is what you needed...
