[RECOVERY][dlx] TWRP 3.0.0-0 touch recovery [2016-02-06]

[RECOVERY][dlx] TWRP 3.0.0-0 touch recovery [2016-02-06] - HTC Droid DNA

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.
CHANGELOG for 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!
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.
DOWNLOAD:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
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!

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:
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

Note, I forgot to have Dr_Drache test off-mode charging. Can someone install this, turn the device completely off, then plug it into a charger. The charge light should come on, maybe blink once or twice, but after about 2 minutes, the charge light should stay on without blinking anymore. Please let me know!

Good deal, thanks for checking it and confirming.

I've ran into some trouble with mine. I have created three backups, each with slight differences to system, trying some things out on the ROM. The lase edit was the build.prop. It wouldn't boot so I went to Recovery to restore one of my backups. When it is a good 10 seconds into restoring system, the progress bar stops turning and it reboots. Each time I try this it seems to stop at a slightly different point into the system restore. Most of the time it wont go far enough to allow boot, just the splash screen and then it automatically boots into TWRP.
All of that is ok, and I could get around it, but now my phone is dead! Any suggestions?
*Edit* Got it guys. I was able to use the USB charger from my TPrime and it charged in TWRP. After it charged a bit I was able to fastboot flash TWRP again and restore one of the backups. I'm not sure how it became corrupted, but its all good now!

When will the size be fixed?

I don't have a DNA or any other 1080 * 1920 device that uses a portrait layout (no rotation in recovery). I am unable to do the upscale myself. There's a theme guide on our website if someone wants to to do it.

For some reason I can't make backups anymore. It gets about a quarter way, then reboots. I tried cwm..and same issue. Anyone have any ideas?

it has rebooted on me during a backup as well. i tried again and was successful, but there definitely seems to be a bug somewhere

Hello,
Definitely a bug, seems that after the first successful backup unit will no longer get past the system file.
UPDATE, your backups will complete if you do not change the name. Leave it as the date or default name If this does not work for you the only other thing I have done since it was rebooting was to install/update busybox. This may also work for those who are restoring backups and getting the reboot...did you change the file name? Whatever I am sure it is just a temp bug that will be fixed soon as well as the layout.
Cheers

Has anyone got a fix for the screen size yet?

I have backups failing when not changing the name as well. Bug happens either way.
After several attempts I am eventually able to get a good backup, but it fails more often than it completes.

Interesting, obviously this needs a bit of work. I have not tried to make another one, I have been spending time modding the factory shipped rom. There are so many features hidden by Verizon. Also there is something running in the background that eats our batteries. Hard to start cranking on a rom without a reliable recovery. I sent a note over on the TWRP website, hopefully someone will have some ideas. On the size issue has anyone tried using a TWRP skin from one of the 1080p tablets?
Cheers

Have you looked into using one of the 1080p tablet themes? I plan on doing that tonight.

Hello,
Actually a big NO on that...this recovery isn't even recognizing the THEME folder? It seems this has a few bugs to iron out. I looked at pulling the resource the other day and building a new one but I can't seem to find a reliable git for the DNA? If anyone knows of one please let me know and I will pull the files late tonight. I am not a DEV by all means but have been building for multiple devices for over two years and have a smoking build machine. I am not comfortable working on any roms until we have a solid recovery. Don't get me wrong, this does backup after a few tries but what I am worried about is a fail when trying to restore. I have read where Clockwork it the same way, seems to have something to do with the partitions?
Cheers

[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.

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)

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!

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.

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

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.

-Fixed an adb restore issue (bigbiff)
-Fixed rebooting when no OS is present (Dees_Troy)
-Fixed line wrapping in the GUI terminal (_that)
-Updated TWRP source code to AOSP 7.1.2 (Dees_Troy)
CHANGELOG for 3.1.0-0:
-vold decrypt on a few select HTC devices, TWRP will now attempt to use the system partition's vold and vdc binaries and libraries to decrypt the data partition (nkk71 and CaptainThrowback)
-adb backup to stream a backup directly to or from your PC, see documentation here: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commit/ce8f83c48d200106ff61ad530c863b15c16949d9 (bigbiff)
-tweak MTP startup routines (mdmower)

-support for AB OTA zips (Dees_Troy)
-support new Android 7.x log command (Dees_Troy)
-update recovery sources to AOSP 7.1 (Dees_Troy)
-numerous bugfixes and improvements by too many people to mention
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.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.1-0:
-support new CM 13.0 pattern encryption (sultanqasim)
-fix slow flashing issue due to modprobe (present on only some devices) (#twrp)
-libtar updated to latest upstream and fixes (jcadduono)
-fixes for loading custom themes (_that)
-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
CHANGELOG for 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!
DOWNLOAD:
1) Install the TWRP app from the Play Store or grab the apk from our website
2) Open the app, agree to the terms, and enable root access
3) Select TWRP Flash
4) Search for your device and select the version you wish to download
5) Once the download is complete, select the file (it's usually in your downloads folder) and then Flash Recovery
OR:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website.
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!

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.

Hey @Dees_Troy - Thank you!
Yes, yes, dev thread.. results forth coming..

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.

Thanks for your help. I am on Mac so will probably just root with motochopper first then install through goomanager.

Data, system, boot are usually the default selections for a normal backup..I haven't booted I to recovery yet, but they should be selected by default. That's all u really need for a good backup.

If you get the .tar file of the recovery you should be able to use odin to flash it to your device and the .tar file is available in the link in the post a few above this one i see and it should root the device after you have flashed it..good work on this so far for the mega 5.8, i have the mega 6.3 model i527m.

Indian Devil in the link given above you will get the .tar file too. Flash it like any other recovery via odin.
If your device is not rooted, TWRP gives you option to root your device after you boot into recovery.

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
CHANGELOG for 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 backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
-Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
-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.
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

[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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.

PSA: DO NOT restore EFS backups made with TWRP 3.0.2-1 as there is a bug in that version that affects how the backup is made. Backups of EFS made with TWRP 3.0.2-1 are invalid and should be discarded. Also, seriously people, do not restore EFS unless you absolutely know that you need to.

Coming from an N5 I'm completely new to device encryption. Could someone explain what the implications of this are? Does installing TWRP require an unencrypted device? Will flashing it require a data format? When you say "use TWRP as you normally would," what would be different with this as it is?
Sorry for these probably really basic questions. I just have no idea what the implications of this are.

From what I put together TWRP requires unencrypted kernel/boot. Not to fear though. Looks like chainfire had released an unencrypted kernel/boot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3219344
The N6 came with a forced encrypted kernel/boot. If you want to use a custom kernel you will be flashing an unencrypted kernel. When flashing a unencrypted kernel it will wipe your sdcard. You can encrypt your device later but this will wipe the sdcard.
It's best to flash an unencrypted kernel/boot first if you plan on using custom kernels/ROMs down the road.

Can a kernel with encryption be flashed even though the device is encrypted? The reason I ask is for compiling stock kernel with a lower vibration intensity value and not touching anything else

If your device is encrypted you can still flash any image to your system (as long as the bootloader has been unlocked). Flashing a no-encrypt kernel will not change anything in the system until the device is wiped.

Awesome ! Was waiting for this ! Will flash in an hour And report back !

How would that screw up his device? At worst, he would have a half broken recovery that can't read or write to his /data partition since he isn't also flashing a modified boot image or kernel, no?

I tried flashing Chainfire's modified boot.img for this phone yesterday and it didn't seem to work. I initially had problems mounting my data partition, and when that failed I had issues with flashing the system.img to restore it - I fixed this by using a program called mfastboot to flash the system.img in 512mb chunks. I eventually managed to get the phone to boot after flashing it and formatting userdata but then I incurred more problems. I had multiple force closes of gapps when trying to go through Google setup. Once I got past these I couldn't check whether the phone had successfully been decrypted as Settings force closed if you tried to enter security. I'm not sure if anyone could shed any light on what I might have done wrong or whether they face the same issues and there's a problem with Chainfire's modified boot.img for the 5x.
EDIT: I think it might've been due to the fact there's 3 different builds - I'm on MDA89E so I'll wait for a modified boot.img for that before trying again.

Before you try anything, attach your cable from the phone to the PC and open up a command window in any folder that has "fastboot" in the path. Periodically try this command "fastboot devices" and if you get any output that shows a device number, you can do fastboot commands. It isn't so important what's on the screen as whether you can communicate with the device. (I don't have a 5x, but this usually works on just about everything with a similar button config). Be patient. It might take a few tries. So that ^ is something you try periodically but you need to do this next paragraph or two depending upon how far you get:
You can try holding down (all at once for ~10-30 seconds) up & down & power and when you let go (or perhaps before) you should see the fastboot screen. If you do, good because you can repair it one way or another from there. If you see it or even if you don't, try the "fastboot devices" cmd from the cmd window. Repeat until you see a device number come back.
If you ever get fastboot talking to the phone, then download, unpack, (I mean unpack everything down to a directory with a windows batch file and some .img files in it) this file:
Here are the specific links for each variant:
don't need this: MDA89E - 6.0.0: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mda89e-factory-29247942.tgz
don't need this: MDA89F - 6.0.0: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mda89f-factory-08c99420.tgz
Get this one: MDB08I - 6.0.0: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mdb08i-factory-64536fcf.tgz
The one you probably need is the last one MDB081 since I think that is the modified boot image-version that Chainfire has made for bullhead.
Your phone and you probably need a break before trying this again, so just burn that entire file (the link after mdb08I) and if you use the batch file that basically resets everything, then you should be back to "stock" again but with this version (I think it's the latest OTA version).
Good luck.

Before you try anything, attach your cable from the phone to the PC and open up a command window in any folder that has "fastboot" in the path. Periodically try this command "fastboot devices" and if you get any output that shows a device number, you can do fastboot commands.

many thanks mate that worked flawlessly, managed to recover device and so far installed chainfire's boot.img and twrp. on to rooting now.

QUESTION: Can someone who STILL has their device encrypted, flashed TWRP Recovery, pushed the root zip and then entered twrp to flash it explain exactly what happens on the screen in TWRP. Does it block the install process completely, ask for a password to decrypt the device before continuing, or not allow you to unlock it?
I just need to know that part to give better instructions for the toolkit rooting operation. Once the device has been decrypted there should be no problems at all but im just not sure whether to encourage the user to run a decrypt procedure first, before the root prodecure starts.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Mark.
EDIT: I added the option anyway.

anybody know where the sources are for the kernel?

They will be here https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/ once Google updates a few things other repos for bulkhead such as device tree and more kernel files will be at https://android.googlesource.com under device/lge/bullhead and under device/lge/bullhead-kernel if that's needed. Let me know if you have more questions!
