[RECOVERY][Unofficial][ICS] TWRP 2.2.1.4 Custom Recovery (DOES NOT WORK WITH MTD)

Hello, Infusers...im back and ive brought with me TeamWin Recovery Project! Official TWRP website: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
What is this?
-Its an alternitive to CWM recovery
What are the advantages?
-Full touch screen interface
-Built in file manager
-keyboard (gives you the ability to name your backups...or rename other files from with in recovery)
-clock
-battery percentage
-swipe to confirm flashes/wipes (no more of the "no no no no yes no no"
-themeable!!!
-and more!!!
***DOES NOT WORK WITH MTD JELLYBEAN...yet***
Unfortunatly our recovery is built into the boot.img after flashing any ics rom you will lose the twrp recovery and get cwm recovery again...just tick the box to re-inject twrp before sliding to confirm your flash...or go to advance options and click on re-inject twrp
Download:
TWRP
Flashing Instructions (does not effect your current set up/kernel...only replaces CWM)
1) boot into recovery
2) flash zip
3) reboot
4) next time you go to recovery you will have TWRP
5) Flash this zip after every new rom flash to keep TWRP
***important for updating***
-if updating twrp from a previous build make sure you disable "re-inject twrp after flash" if you dont it will reinject the old twrp
-If coming from gingerbread you have to boot into your ics or jb Rom before being able to flash the zip...after that you can flash after every Rom flash
how does the zip work? i thought it was built into the boot.img?
Credit goes to smasher816 for this..he made an install script that takes your boot.img of your rom, then takes the recovery ( ramdisk-recovery.img) and injects it into your current boot.img...leaving the actual kernel untouched!
Satandard Disclaimer
Use this recovery at your own risk!!! im not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your friends, your family, or anything but i will do my best to resolve any and all problems you may encounter

JT-for getting us ics in the first place
JScott30-sold me his infuse which allowed for me to do this
Smasher816-your install script has allowed for an easy recovery flash
Did i miss anyone? -let me know...dont want to leave any one out

-fixed install script so you no longer have to mount system in mounts instorage...just flash the zip and it will mount for you
8-2-12

Things to do...
1) Figure out if its possible to compile the recovery and flash it with out messing with a user's kernel/current set up
-solved...op has been updated with fix
2) fix the sdcard error

3) fix backup problem (cant create a backup)...currently the only known bug

6) Keep this up to date with official twrp source
-on going process...ill check every other day for updates to the source
TWRP THEMES
You can find some themes for twrp here: TWRP 2.X Themes
-keep in mind that themes can introduce bugs...so use them at your own risk...if your intrested in creating your own them check out this: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2themers
-themes must go in this directory /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ and it must be named ui.zip -reboot to recovery and it will be applied...thats right just reboot no need to flash!
My TWRP Themes -hosted on goo.im (soon to be featuring every color of the rainbow...and then some)
Inverted theme! by supernewbdev

First....

I have been wanting to try twrp in my infuse since I tried it on my transformer.
This is a great addition to our community, Thanks for bringing it! :victory:
Edit: I presume it still not compatible with JB, am i right?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At the moment no...its built into the ics boot.img -so flashing this would give you an ics kernel
Not sure when and if ill be able to bring it to JB...will have to wait for TeamWin to update it for JB
EDIT: i think i know how to let people use this without messing with there current kernel/set up...gotta test the theory first
Edit #2...theory correct...no more will you have to flash the boot.img or CM9 to get TWRP...OP will be updated shortly with details

Omg. Mg this is awesome downloading as of now
Edit: can the boot.img be flashed with sgs kernel flasher?
Edit#2: saw the zip flashed it and it works like a charm.
Sent from my AOKP'd Infuse 4G​

OP updated...just download the zip and flash it-next time you boot to recovery you will have TWRP...just make sure you mount system before flashing...
EDIT: if my other theory is correct...this may now be compatible with JB...gonna download cm10 now and test the zip with it...will report back later

not sure...but you can download the zip and flash that instead in recovery...it will not mess with your rom or kernel

works with jellybean...just mount system and flash the zip...

Recovery updated...fixed the sdcard error, as well as edited the updater script to mount system...in other words you dont have to mount system in "mounts and storage" anymore just download and flash
currently only known bug at the moment is not being able to create a backup...im looking into it
EDIT: Just found out there's a way to enable the recovery to auto insert itself after every Rom flash...currently working on it...if it works then one flash and you will have it for good! It will be added to the advanced settings I believe...so you can enable the auto insert or disable it if you wanna go back to old cwm...
EDIT 2: alright...misread...it doesnt auto insert :/ but still useful tho heres what it does: after flashing a rom instead of flashing the recovery zip again you go to advanced options, in there on the bottom right corner you will see the option to "re-inject TWRP" it essentially does the same thing as the zip...so if you delete the zip or dont wanna flash the recovery zip ever again just use that option after every rom fash and it will inject the recovery into the rom
ill include the re-inject option in the next update (when i figure out and fix the backup problem...) unless you guys want that now...just dont wanna do a bunch of tiny updates in one day lol...i feel like that would be annoying for you guys

Been getting tired of CWM so i am gonna have to try this out. Thks:cyclops::good:
BTW. Doesn't the face plate on the Otterbox case mess with infared sensor in detecting during calls.
I got a Ballastic case the other day and i couldn't seem to hang up a damn phone call after rebooting

Might wanna edit the OP.....
1) boot into recovery
2) Mount system (mounts and storage > mount /system)
3) flash zip
4) reboot
5) next time you go to recovery you will have TWRP
6) Flash this zip after every new rom flash to keep TWRP

I fixed it so that when you flash it you no longer need to mount system...if you have the twrp 2.2.1 sdfix then you no longer need to mount system (I added the command in the updater script to.mount it)
Sooooo...just download, flash and enjoy...
Anyways...two days of non stop compiling...and I'm only doing recovery...don't know how the guys (Scott) at the CM10 thread do it...I'm pooped, time for bed
Also I don't use my infuse as my DD...so I don't have a sim in it...I use it for development only...my vivid is my DD

first of all, coolioso ! second, thanks! third, ok so to make sure, do I flash a rom, then reboot into recovery, then flash this alter-recovery, or can I just flash it along with the rom and the gapps ect.?

I'm loving this MG, This looks and feel so good. Thanks

You can flash this and reboot into recovery
You can flash it after a Rom flash
You can flash it anytime...but if you flash a Rom make sure you flash this again

Thats not recovery problem. Once charge the Phone upto 100% allow two cycles of complete battery drain and analyze battery life.

As of now I'm using a deodexed modified cooked stock ROM. I have not ventured into custom Roms. Will be definitely checking out the best one and port it but I can do that only in free time like Saturday or sunday. Just tell me if you know a good one.

Almost.
I can use either internal SD or external SD at any given point of time. There is some issue with mounting card on /storage/sdcard1. I can mount either on /storage/sdcard0.

can u make TRWP for e3 @OP

We need twrp from a similar device to port it. Other issue with twrp is the size of the recovery. It is bigger than the partition space alloted for the recovery on the device. We would require other tool to increase the partition size of recovery first to enable flashing the the bigger image. So its not straight forward as cwm in our case.

Found out the issue. The recovery is showing a different device vendor (Huawei) and the original boot.img is showing another vendor (HTC).
I had to white-list the vendor in linux (udev and ~/android/adb_usb.ini)
Now it is working fine.

i'm on clone stock kk rom with cwm v6.0.2.8 now. i wanna have twrp v2.8 and also root. how best to go about it?
does your op imply "if twrp v2.7 is used, root is not lost"? - on rooted device having any other custom recovery.
and, what if i flash your twrp v2.8 and then flash supersu zip file from here? will i have proper root?
btw, can this be installed using flashify or mobileuncletools? or, is spftools procedure itself required?
suggest that you make the op clearer and noob-friendly. thanks.

Make sure you flash stock rom first before flashing this recovery! When i was using Q900, it used to give variety of errors! So always begin with clean flashed device! The error that i got frequently was E: cannot mount /Data bla bla.... Always ended up with mounting errors! Then came Shikar bro who ported the recovery and after which i developed the custom first custom ROM!

U cant root using 2.8 recovery.
sometimes if rom is not rooted then at end of flash it ask u to root, 2.8 cant do that but 2.7 can:good:.
u cant have 2.8 with root facility as size will exceed 6mb.
u can root device using any flashble root zip.
================================================================================================
For kitkat 4.4.2 the zip in link is not at all useful.
Also it cant be rooted with supersu provided in recovery
so if u wanna use 2.8 u cant use rooting within recovery.
if u wanna root ur 4.4.2 see this post method 8 definatly works.
also if u want supersu as root app head over to this post.
For recovery flashing I always prefer sp tool method which will work 100% and u dont have to bother about properly rooted device.
if u have rooted device flashify or mobileuncle tool should work.

Hi Avi, when i tried to flash the recovery via flashify my stock recovery is gone as well as the one which i flashed twrp also gone and currently my phone is running without recovery

Yes Sir,
I ported 2.8.2.0 but the size is 6.54mb way too much than recovery partition.
I am trying much hard for more than 6 mb partition which can boot in recovery.
Already bricked my device several times for the same.
But still only 6 mb recovery can boot.
NOw we have two options.
Compile new kernel with less size - source codes are needed
we have bq codes - but it may not work for our device - so i am much reluctant to take chance.
we need to compile new uboot.bin which can make booting in recovery of even 11mb size
again source code and compiling.
If anyone from ur side can help in compiling that would be great- as i am just beginner for it
u can get source code for BQ here.
Thank you.

any hope for latest version of twrp?
please see screenshots of twrp v2.8.0.0. the interface is not clear (highly pixelated). the actual display is worse than seen here. can anything be done about it?
does anyone know of any themes than work on twrp v2.8.0.0 for xolo q3000? the ones i tried didn't work although i chose the correct resolution.
also, what exactly does "repair or change file system" do?
my device gets connected as an mtp device and shows up as a separate device in "my computer". i mean, the sd cards do not get connected as separate usb drives.
i can open the device and see both my sd cards listed and also browse & carry out operations. but, any changes made are not reflected even after 'refreshing'.
if i click "disable mtp" as seen in the 3rd screenshot, will the disabling be temporary or permanent? will my sd cards get connected as separate usb drives?
i'd appreciate it if someone who has authentic knowledge about these matters responds with suggestions. thanks for any help.
btw, i hope @avi3230 is following this thread. maybe we can hope for ctr v3.0 kitkat for xolo q3000 soon.
edit: saw this thread only now . will try that and report :good:. please answer the queries in blue. thanks.

@m0han
TWRP 2.8.2.0 coming soon.
themes for 2.8.0.0
what exactly does "repair or change file system" do?
answer is here.
What's new in 2.7.1.0:
Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.

MTP is also mentioned under 2.8.0.0
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.

[Multi boot-BETA][Apk][Condor][Patcher]

Hey guys the much awaited DualBootPatcher is here for our Condor don't believe me test out yourself
It can patch:
Custom kernels for multi support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary
Google Apps packages
SuperSU so that it can be used in other ROMs
xposed
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and install.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Secondary: Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of Extsd slots. These install to the external sd partition and eat up space on the external storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny and your data partition is getting full. These slots are named "extsd-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
NOTE- It is highly recommended to install secondary roms in external sd slot
How To
1. Install the Multi Boot Patcher app
2. Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
3. Now go to rom settings and click on "Update ramdisk" it will update ramdisk and after that reboot
4. Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
*FLASHING FROM RECOVERY NOT RECOMMENDED*
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from the custom recovery will literally backup every ROM you have installed so think about this before making a backup.
App and data sharing
DualBootPatcher very recently got support for sharing apps and their data across ROMs. Maybe sharing is somewhat of a misleading term. The feature actually makes Android load the shared apps and data from a centralized location, /data/multiboot/_appsharing. So you're not sharing apps from one ROM to another per se. The ROMs are just loading the apps from one shared location. Let me make this clearer with an analogy.
Think of the people in a company office as ROMs. You want to share with your coworkers some documents (apps). Instead of telling them to come over to your desk to see those documents (sharing apps from one ROM to another), everyone goes to the conference room to look at the documents together (loading apps from a shared location). That's how app and data sharing is implemented.
To use app sharing, follow these steps in every ROM that you want to use app sharing:
1.Install the app you want to share
2.Open DualBootPatcher and go to "App Sharing" in the navigation drawer
3. Enable individual app sharing
4. Tap "Manage shared applications" and enable APK/data sharing for the app
Reboot
When you uninstall an app that's shared, it simply becomes unshared for the current ROM. That way, other ROMs are not affected. To continue the analogy above, if you quit your job, you won't shred the documents that everybody else was looking at.
If you unshare an app's data, it will go back to using the data it had before it was shared. In other words, you leave the conference room and go back to work on your own documents at your desk.
FAQ's
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
If you have TWRP, you can switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
I installed a new rom and want to switch to it?
Open app, select ROMs, then select the rom you want to switch to. When the switch is successful, reboot.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it

How To Report Issues ?
Getlogs.zip: getlogs.zip
If a multi-booted ROM is unable to boot, logs will be needed for debugging the issue. Please reboot into recovery without shutting down the device (ie. no removing the battery u cant remove battery in moto e [emoji14] ) and flash the GetLogs zip. This must be done immediately following the boot failure because some logs will be lost after a reboot The zip will save many logs from /sdcard/MultiBoot and device information from /dev, /proc, and /sys to /sdcard/logs/[Date&Time].tar. Please attach this tar archive when reporting an issue.
Also, state whether the ROM reboots or hangs at the moto logo or the ROM's boot animation. If the ROM reboots, please state whether it reboots into recovery or not.
NOTE- CM13 is supported

Thanks bro.... Worked for me...

Doubt
Like we flash both ROM and gapps from recovery, i cant flash it from here. I patched the ROM, flashed it, good job. But how do i flash the gapps? it shows errors. I flashed it along with the ROM. I tried the second method and flashed it after flashing the ROM...Still ain't working. Please help.
Edit : I flashed gapps seperately...and it worked!!!
Steps for those who face similar problems while patching Gapps -
1. Switch the ROM from Dual Boot Patcher.
2. Reboot your phone. If you flashed correctly, you should be on the secondary ROM....
3. Reboot to recovery and flash gapps. No need to wipe cache/dalvik cache.
4. Woila! Gapps flashed successfully!
Hit Thanks Button if I Helped!!!

make sure data is mounted
i actually had twrp. and had similar problem that is cant flash any other(reason: data cant be mounted)
try use CWM recovery

I have TWRP v2.8.1.0 and is working fine with the previsous versions.
Beside I cand backup and recovery the data only without problems
Like I said, the installation of MIUI 5.12.10 is finished, but after restart the phone remain in boot loop
I don't think that is from TWRP, believe me, because the OS must be automatically configured without data ! The phone must be show me something like that....

Hi, bro.
It's also happen to me..
Does using cwm fixing the problem?

Installed CWM Recovery, but I can't backup my nandroid and I can't install the last version of MIUI.
It show me error, then back to the main screen of CWM recovery
If I want to make a backup it return invalid path
I think this version of CWM is a crap
TESTED with all custom recovery which I have.
1. Your CWM recovery (Has internal errors)
2. Philz touch recovery v6.59.0 (A536)
3. TWRP RECOVERY v2.7.1.1
4. TWRP RECOVERY v2.8.1.0
5. TWRP RECOVERY v2.8.6.0
I can install the new version of MIUI with all custom recovery, but the phone restart in boot loop with logo "Lenovo powered by android" and stay there...
What can I do ?
I have to wait for a new version of MIUI
