[Recovery][OFFICIAL] TWRP 2.8.4.0 - Sony Xperia L

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 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 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.
CHANGELOG for 2.8.2.0:
-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP
-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use
-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices
-Other minor fixes and updates
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
CHANGELOG for 2.8.1.0:
-MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
-TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
-Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
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.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.

RESTORING / CHANGING TO PHILZ OR IN-BUILT KERNEL RECOVERY
STEPS :
-Go to flashtool
-flash ftf ( any firmware is ok )
-(i dont want to flash complete ftf? , do as shown in attachment)
-so what have we done is just flash FOTAKERNEL partition and exclude everything else, so only twrp is wiped
-now ul have d recovery with the kernel
cheers,

Can it be merged with custom kernel? Like ThunderZap.

Why do you provide a boot image? This is not the way to go. Build a recovery image and flash it to the FOTAKernel partition (/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel) instead. Using boot images is bad, given each ROM has a different ramdisk and the kernel modules may not match, causing stuff like WiFi, BT etc to break.

ok thanks i'll do that asap !

Nice! Tried on CM12 Beta 6 by Varun and it boots fine and all, but it can't Wipe. It says the partitions aren't found...
Hope you can fix it and keep this project up. I think TWRP is the best recovey.

I did it and it's not. When I swipe to Wipe this message appears in 1 sec., when it should take a while to show because Wipe takes a few more than 1 sec. Also when I boot all my files and everything is still there.
I'm unable to get the log. It gets copied to the phone, but everytime I restart the file is erased. Also adb sideload is not working...
Any tip?

This is from ADB, without su it said "Permission denied".
Seems like recovery don't work with ThunderZap 4.12 - it can't mount anything. And i can't copy log to sd because sd isn't mounted.

Yes wipe bug is confirmed.. And su too.. I'm busy now so couldn't test myself.. I'll update post tmo..

Yeah guys before you do the FOTAKernel code make sure you tap "adb root" so you get permissions!

ADB and Root is on ... Permission Denied ...

Download Terminal Emulator from Play Store, then open it and type su so it get root access, then type:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
That's how I did it. It worked...

Try this go to Dev options and root access to both apps and adb.. And im waiting on official support wherein we'll just have to use their app to flash!

Correct command to use from adb:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Don't forget to allow "Root access" from "Apps and ADB" in "Developer Options"

CHANGELOG for 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.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.7.0.0:
-Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
-Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
-Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
-Text wrap in the console output
-Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
-Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
-Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
-Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions thanks to Samer Diab
-Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
-Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
-Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
-Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
-USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
-Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
-Add 4.4 decrypt support
-Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
-Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.
CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
-Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
-Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
-Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
-Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
-A few other fixes and tweaks
DOWNLOAD:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily with the TWRP Manager app:

No. But u can use s2ve's recovery on s2vep.
why does the filename say 4.2.2 recovery? can it be used with a 4.4.4 ROM?
I'm using CM11 M9 which is 4.4.4.
also, can I use it to change the file system to f2fs, since the next snapshot of CM11 might natively support it?
the description isn't very clear on that.

There's 4.2.2 in name cuz it's for 4.2.2 bootloader. You can use f2fs now, just install TWRP and convert rom using my tool.
Thanks for the new build!
So TWRP is now officially supported and has fixed MTP. Actually TWRP Manager doesn't work for s2ve/p I need to contact author.

Wiping partitions causes breaking partitions and thats all. (data partition wipes more than 5 minutes and than any partition cant mount)
J_Livingston from 4pda tryed this one and got brick :/

While TWRP 2.7 was latest we had a twrp version by shantur and one by dexter93. While with that problem never occured, in shanturs build there was a problem that while wiping it burks the emmc chip for some reason.
Might be kernel related, but I don't know for sure.
I'd like to use twrp though, since I think it's much better than 4ext, plus it supports f2fs

Maybe BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE := true will fix it or smth.

Maybe, but since it causes a hard brick it's hard to test. If that's not the fix, there might be some more bricks.
Is anyone here who has an old htc sensation and wants to try twrp with the flag mentioned by luk1337, but always with the risk it might not be the fix for the issue?

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]TWRP 3.0.0 for i9105/p

Hello again, i just finish to work on my unofficial TWRP recovery after port the Omni 5.0.2 that i am fixing the ril, screenshots and camera, any way here my only recovery.img file that you can flash without usb cable using Rashr Flash Tool, see you ....
Downloads for S2vep
Click here to download it.
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 2.8.2.0:
-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP
-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use
-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices
-Other minor fixes and updates
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
CHANGELOG for 2.8.1.0:
-MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
-TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
-Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.1:
-Fix a bug that causes weird graphics glitches and touch issues
CHANGELOG for 2.8.0.0:
-Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
-Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
-Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
-Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
-Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
-Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
-Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
-Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
-Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
-Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
-Other minor fixes and improvements
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.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
CHANGELOG for 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.
-Various bugfixes to backup and restore
-Improvements to USB storage handling
-Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
-Various other bugfixes and tweaks
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 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!

Yep, thread should be removed.
I want to flash it with odin , but what should i download, there are two files for svep one with .tar at end and one with .img , wich one is for odin PDA ?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Free mobile app
The one with .tar
respecting the rules of the forum, do not use my recovery if you don't like it.

[NO LONGER MAINTAINED][RECOVERY][aca] TWRP touch recovery

UPDATE: I am no longer maintaining TWRP for devices that I do not possess. I am also no longer posting on XDA.​
Code:
*** Disclaimer ***
All flashing is done at your own risk!
While nothing from this thread should break your device,
don't come back here blaming anyone if it does!
Introduction
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

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

[U]Additional Notes[/U]
[LIST]WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
[*]Notes for themers: In addition to the updated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
[*]Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
[*]We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance![/LIST]

[U]Additional Notes[/U]
[LIST]Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
[*]System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
[*]resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
[*]This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at [url]https://jenkins.twrp.me[/url] and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at [url]https://gerrit.twrp.me[/url] to help us keep devices up to date and working.[/LIST]

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

If your issue is determined to be 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 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!

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 3.2.1-0
Stable Release Date: 2017-12-09
Created 2016-12-14
Last Updated 2018-03-07
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is this device different than my previous HTC device?
With Marshmallow devices, HTC has moved to a block-based OTA system. This means that even mounting system as read-write (as TWRP typically does during startup checks) will nullify the device's ability to take an OTA. Any other changes to the system partition will also cause an OTA to fail (even if that check is removed from the OTA zip) due to "unexpected contents." Additionally, see this thread.
2. Which version of TWRP am I supposed to use?
The best version to use is 3.2.3-0, the latest official version from twrp.me.
3. Why is there a "System" backup option and a "System Image" backup option now?
The "System" option is the standard tar backup. "System Image" is a dd backup of the entire system block device (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system). The "System Image" option is only relevant if your system is unmodified. This allows you to make a fully stock backup that can be restored later to take an OTA.
NOTE: You only need to choose ONE of these options when making a backup!!
[*]NOTE 2: If you are using a FAT32-formatted card, a "System Image" backup may fail (depending on your variant), due to the 4GB file limit on that format. For a successful System Image backup, internal storage or NTFS/exFAT-formatted external storage must be used (either SD card or USB-OTG)
4. How do I backup stock recovery prior to flashing TWRP?
You can't. The "fastboot boot" command appears to be disabled in ABOOT, so TWRP must be fastboot flashed over stock recovery. You can however, extract the stock recovery.img from the OTA firmware.zip when it's received and use that to install the OTA.
An alternate method to obtain a stock recovery is listed below, but it requires 2 devices (either owned by you, or help from someone else in the forum):
Someone fastboot flash twrp and immediately make a backup of boot and upload it to XDA.
Once the above is available, someone else download that boot.img to their device, and fastboot flash twrp to the BOOT partition of their device.
Once the above is done, reboot the device, which will bring up TWRP, and then backup stock RECOVERY in TWRP, and upload to XDA.
Then, from within TWRP, use the Image install feature in TWRP to flash the stock boot.img.
5. How do I restore stock system so that I can accept an OTA?
Check the "Mount system as read-only" box in the Mount menu.
Restore stock "System Image" backup (This will only work if you've made a System Image backup prior to making any modifications to /system).
Fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
NOTE: It is also possible to restore stock recovery via the TWRP GUI. Rename the stock recovery file to "recovery.emmc.win" and place in the backup folder with the stock system image. Recovery will then show as a restore option. MAKE SURE YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS, AS TWRP WILL BE GONE WHEN YOU REBOOT OUT OF RECOVERY!!
[*]NOTE 2: It is possible to install an OTA without using stock recovery (i.e. installing it with TWRP). TWRP will not flash the firmware.zip included in an OTA file. Please see here for a detailed description of the process.
Reboot to system, install OTA.
6. What if I have an RUU? Do I need to worry about all this OTA nonsense?
Not if you don't care about losing all your data. If you're S-ON and have an RUU available for your exact variant (model ID and CID must match) and software number (main version must be the same or newer), then you can get back to a fully stock state by relocking (fastboot oem lock) and flashing an RUU. However, if you'd prefer to take an OTA to keep your data intact, the method stated above is how to do so. Or, you can just run a custom ROM and wait for your ROM chef to update their ROM to the latest software (though you'll still have to find a way to update your firmware if you're not S-OFF)
7. After I go through all this and successfully apply an OTA, how do I make sure I have a clean starting point again?
After the OTA is applied and TWRP is flashed, it will once again detect an untouched system, which will mount system read-only and allow you to make a fully stock backup and start the process over again, this time with the new base.
8. After I restored my Data backup and boot back to Android, I'm entering the correct PIN/password, but it's telling me the password is wrong. What happened, and how do I fix it?
It appears that sometimes after restoring a backup of Data where security was enabled (such as a PIN or password lock), the device does not recognize the correct password. There are two ways to avoid this issue:
Disable security in Android before making a backup of data.
After restoring Data, while still in TWRP, use the TWRP File Manager to navigate to /data/system and delete all the locksettings.* files (such as locksettings.db, etc). When you reboot, the password will be gone.
u da man @Captain_Throwback!
Alright, against my better judgement I decided to post this thread. Based on @OMJ's testing, TWRP is working properly with decryption. The only remaining bug I'm aware of is that the "Reboot Recovery" option doesn't work, because of how I hacked the kernel to enable touch. I'm working on an alternative method to get around that, but since I can't test on the device, not sure how that will go.
Make a note of what it says in the OP under "BUGS" because if you report one without a log, it will be ignored! I hope everyone with this device enjoys this "unofficial" version of TWRP.

you are the man for sure, i still like the idea of a unencrypted device and glad its a option but im more happy knowing that twrp is now able to support both options!
Thanks bro, know you have been working hard for people who dont necessarily effect you. thanks man!
Had to update TWRP as I forgot that gunzip isn't working on builds from the 7.1 tree. Using a pre-compiled busybox binary in TWRP as a workaround. 3.0.2-2 now available on Downloads tab with this fix included.
Uploaded new version to Downloads Tab. Just some code cleanup mostly and a version bump that coincides to the release of the Official TWRP app.
Can someone test whether this TWRP build boots?
«link removed»
That's from the official TWRP Jenkins. It won't decrypt currently, but I really just want to confirm it boots. Thanks!
EDIT: @OMJ confirmed. Official support should *hopefully* be coming soon!

EDIT: @OMJ tested that one and it didn't boot. Updated the link to a new version. I need a log from a ROM flash where the ROM zip includes a root zip to confirm it's getting extracted correctly.
3.1.0 Official is out.

Sir, you mentioned that you hacked the kernel to enable touch in recovery can you share how to did that and did you modify the kernel source code or hacked the kernel without the source code as even other htc devices are having this issue and I can see commit in source codes that'll enable touch in recovery but what if there is no kernel source any hack for that? Thanks in advance.

Similar procedure to that, only difference is that you don't have to deal with vmlinux since the kernel binary is simply gzip compressed.
And if dtb is combined, you'll need to extract it from the original kernel and re-append it to the modified binary.

Thank you sir will check that out but why is htc doing this? I mean even some devices running 4.2.2 are having touch disabled and mine is 620g and is disabled too.

Well, touch isn't needed in stock recovery, so it's really just a way to save power while booted into that mode. Only custom recoveries like TWRP require working touch, so that's why we have to hack the kernel if source isn't available.
