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

I double checked everything... looks like you downloaded the wrong one. Make sure to download from here: http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/twrp-2630-for-galaxy-player-5.html
EDIT: alternative recovery procedure not needed, just flash in current recovery. m470 is Hisense Sero 7 Pro.... Definately downloaded the wrong one...

I have Clockwork installed and it acts as if it flashes OK but when I reboot or restart its reverted back to clockwork. Thoughts?

I'm a little late to the party, but I've gotten my hands on an YP-G70. I tried installing TWRP on it, but CWM complaints about it being the wrong version. I couldn't see any different versions of it...I've also tried flashing it with Rashr flash tool, but that one also says it's not a valid recovery.
Any hints as to what I can do next?

I have been attempting to install CM12 / Carbon 5.1.1. I have worked my way up from GB to CM 11 / Carbon KK 4.4.4 then I get stuck.
After installing on reboot I get an initial Nutella logo for a few seconds and then the screen goes black (although you can tell it is still backlit) and then nothing. Left it for a couple of hours just in case it required a long install time... nothing. I can get it into this rudimentary recovery fwiw.
So came across this, Is it still mandatory to install TWRP 2.8.0.0? If so could someone kindly upload or add a new link please. Most are to Mega which is now kaput.
I tried installing from Slim 4.4.2 ( Beanstock is also on Mega but it only has TWRP 2.6.5) as suggested somewhere but no go either.
Thanks for breathing life back into my Player 5, I am eager to try Lollipop on it.
Thanks in advance.

How do I install it? I am on stock firmware, do I need a custom firmware first?

I'm stuck at the same place. The error msg seems to imply its for the USA version:
"This package is for yp-G70, venturi,venturi_USA" devices. This device is a "herring".
