[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.7.0 - TeamWin Recovery Project
TeamWin is proud to present TWRP v3.0.2.0 for the LG G Pad X 8.0 (V521, V522, V525)
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 twrp 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.

8/21/2016
updated the link, same file name fixed internal storage mount and a few other minor issues
8/20/2016 - initial release
Youll need to use flashify to flash the image after rooting. this should work on all b3 models, aka lg v525, v521 etc
For the test version i had of 2.7.8.0 i had to do this, since i have already done it i cant confirm if you need to on 3.0.2.0 or not. ----- data/internal storage wont mount/work until you go to wipe> format data and format without encryption reboot recovery and then do a factory reset. this will wipe your ENTIRE device but allow you to use twrp normally.
Thanks a lot, i'll flash it soon. Any idea if xposed would work on this device?
shabby is the man

I dont use or follow xposed development (my last 3 personal phones werent even rooted) i dont see any reason why it wouldnt we have twrp as well as stock kdz so you can mess things up pretty bad and still recover.

Also, update the version number in the title. I was able to get TWRP working, you do still need to wipe to clear the encryption (it says it does this in red). Then, you can continue using it normally.

i was on that page and clicked new thread, not sure why it didnt work or how exactly you are supposed to do it as that logically made the most sense to me.
i know you need to wipe to clear the encryption, but i wasnt sure if you needed to clear the encryption in order to use twrp properly as i had already done it on an older version. good catch on the version number

I'm not entirely sure about clearing encryption to use TWRP. I know when I did it, TWRP functioned normally.
Ill ask XDA about the ET, maybe it has a second page that isn't showing.

If it could be made as flashable .dz or .tot, that would be excellent.

as previously mentioned, only people who have leaked lg tools can make flashable tots etc. i spent hours researching it, testing out different methods and reflashing stock kdz a bunch of times.
the only way i could streamline this is if i submitted this to be made official so once rooted you could use twrp manager, but the submission process isnt exactly one that is a lot of fun to do. especially considering with flashify you only have to do like 3 clicks anyways.
Got something for you, shabbypenguin.
My intitial partitions-being-unmountable-due-to-unknown-error-150 likely because of faulty .tot file. the 1.4GB one works. of course after flashing 10c
Device still reports as LG V510 via MTP. Not a huge deal.
In TWRP file browser, internal storage is mounted as /emmc ?!
SD Card will not mount, log attached. Complete. /external_sd is not /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. It's /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 I manually mounted it there and it works.
Some errors about /sdcard as well. Probably cant mount /data/media/0 there. is my guess.
OTG does not mount properly as well, in recovery it shows up at /dev/block/sda1, recovery's fstab points at /usb-otg?
Was gonna put the output of mount/df from recovery and android but thought that wouldn't help.

I have flashed TWRP many times in the past on many devices. Yet for the 1st time after using Flashify, it obviously did not install properly as it didn't mount internal storage on this pad. It doesn't even recognize show that there's anything available in internal storage to back up to. Frankly, I don't understand your above instructions on how to property install it.
Typing clear instructions would be greatly appreciated as I can't use it. But do appreciate the time you put into it and will make a donation once this has been fixed.

you need to go to wipe > format data. your devices data is by default encrypted and twrp cant decrypt it. once youve wiped data, reboot recovery and then do a factory reset. your device will boot and function as normal and youll have a fully working twrp

First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.
This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the HTC Desire. For details, check out the link to j_r0dd's original thread for the Nexus S.
The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for the modifications.
j_r0dd said:
This is based on the latest CM7 source which I modified for myself. I take no credit for the recovery whatsoever, but I will take all the blame for my mods . We all know this is Koush's hard work. Just some things were driving me crazy personally. First was the confirmation menu. I really got sick of scrolling through all those "No"s just to flash something, so i changed it for me personally and just thought I would share. I also created a proper wipe menu. I got sick of some wipes in the main menu and the rest in the "advanced" menu. I made this more Amon_RA like. See the attached screenshot for my changes. That change has led to a few others by me. flash with fastboot or flash_image. THESE ARE NOT IN ROM MANAGER. Also if you have an issue with this take it up with me NOT Koush.

Disclaimer
These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.

Well, like I said, I can't guarantee that it works, especially since I have no Desire to test it on. I've used j_r0dd's source which is based on Koush's source for the official CM7 3.2.0.0 ClockworkMod recovery. It might work, or it might not work. Testing it is up to each person.

Don't worry about it, I wasn't offended in any way. I'm wondering though if the USB bricks are caused by flashed (.img) recoveries. As I remember it, USB bricks were common with the earliest attempts to run recoveries by uploading the recovery binary to the phone's RAM while having to keep it plugged in to the computer.
well i know i got the usb bricks whilst restoring nandroids when my phone wasn't plugged in. that help in any way?

Maybe your misc partition got overwritten with garbage. In my opinion, nandroid shouldn't touch this partition. The USB brick issue is usually caused by a corrupt misc partition.

yeah i dont really know why it does, its easily fixable by reflashing the mtd0.img file generated from your cid and rom version though, its just a massive nuisance!

You should check your nandroid backup folder. If there's a misc.img or something like it, maybe you should move that file elsewhere. That way, nandroid shouldn't overwrite your misc (mtd0) partition. I'm only guessing that it does handle that partition.

It'll probably behave the same way, seeing as this one only changes the menus, I think.
Updated OP to version 4.0.0.0.

You should mod 3.1.0.1, no later CWM worked ok.

Yeah, I got that even on my Nexus S.. I'm just cloning & compiling. Got no idea how to downgrade to an earlier version. Limited programming skills.
I fixed the SD card mounting bug. Please re-download 4.0.0.0.
Still buggy. Each time you leave a file list, you'll need to "adb shell umount /sdcard" from your computer. Looking into it.
Added back the 3.2.0.0 version in the OP so you won't have the /sdcard mounting issue. Hopefully it can be resolved soon, so we can start using the 4.0.0.0 version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
So, I'm playing with recovery... In particular, I'm working on replacing the stock recovery with CWM Recovery. A good nandroid backup is always the first step to hacking an android device.
I've managed to repack the recovery partition (finally) as unsecure (meaning I can boot into recovery, adb shell into the device, and have root access.) While in here, I'm just noticing something different on the tablet:
It appears that the firmware update from kies has added some odd bloat: the default factory recovery starts by copying several items from a "preload" partition to your /sdcard partition. How nice of Samsung to add even more addition BLOAT to our devices. (I'll be removing that aspect of recovery, I promise.)
Another oddity I'm finding is that, normally with these devices when they are booted normally (and adb is able to connect), the commandline "adb reboot recovery" will reboot the device into recovery mode. That does NOT happen with this tablet (but I'm not sure why.) I have to power down and power back on with the proper volume switch held down.
Okay... time for me to build a copy of CWM Recovery that'll (hopefully) work on this tablet. Wish me luck!
Gary
Thanks in advance! Always glad to hear the interesting finds in a new device.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
ah, yes... the "new" shared partitions in honeycomb (and ICS.) No longer is there supposed to be dedicated space for /data and /sdcard partitions. They are supposed to use the same space.
Actually, that makes sense. You never have to use something like app2sd, because it's all really the same space. How it gets there, however, is annoying (when trying to reverse engineer a gingerbreak CWM recovery to a honeycomb device.) There is no /sdcard parition on this thing. /sdcard is actually a remap of the /data/media directory. Nice.
My problem is getting CWM Recovery to understand that. pfft.
I wish I could find some source for a CWM recovery partition for another honeycomb tablet. that'd make my life easier, I think.
WARNING: Playing "world of goo" is a major distraction to getting other things accomplished.
have recovery making a nandroid. This would probably be easier if I knew what I was doing. Oh, btw, who wants to test this stuff for me?

I might have just beat you to it. I'll give you a hint, though: honeycomb does some things with partitioning thats very different from previous android versions. CWM tries to take some of that into account, but because of how /data is set up in recovery.fstab, it's not detected that /sdcard should really be /data/media. (I'm rambling.. heh..)
Anyway, pershoot worked this out, so if you pull a specific changeset from his github (https://github.com/pershoot/android...mmit/6dacf061b8476c3e3e2857ca078df95706d62770), and apply it to the CWM in the current cyanogen 7.2, everything should work.
Well, so far everything appears to be working. I've validated the backup works, but haven't verified the restore. I've also modified the code to discourage people from partitioning their sdcards (and it's a bug in CWM that they can choose that option when /sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media)
Anyway, I'll dump the image someplace if anyone wants to mess with it. I honestly have NO idea how to build any kind of package to automate installing it. I've been using "dd" all night long.
On second thought, maybe I'll go to bed... (been awake for over 24 hours)
I'm in the middle of testing the nandroid restores, and there's no way I'll post anything until I'm sure it works. Considering how tired I am, I'll feel better testing this when I'm rested.
One issue I'm REALLY getting annoyed by: For some reason, when I do a "adb reboot recovery", the tablet doesn't reboot into recovery. Even if I'm in a root shell, "reboot recovery" isn't taking me into recovery.
Good night!

Is on this device the Download mode?
I compile my kernels from source, now I need a tester who don't care about warranty.
I use a module of the SGS2, I've contacted a few people experieced in param.lfs, and they say if the kernel can't mount it it says "logo.jpg not found" and it still boots further.
PM me if you are interested!
posted CWM Recovery.
this is habit forming.
the upcoming version will, in addition to being in a nice update.zip, will also install 'su' so you can root your tab and install recovery all at once.
I am _not_, however, installing the SuperUser application (which is needed as well.) That can easily be done from the market after installing this update file.
All will be documented soon.
I could swore I had an sdcard partition, under it's own or external
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
For the internal, it's not a real partition. The "/mnt/sdcard" mount is a FUSE link to /data/media. (It's a real parition on the external sdcard if you have one installed.)
I'm working with someone to get copies of the recovery and normal boot kernel partitions from the P6200 (international 3g.) Once I have that, and assuming my blind kernel compiles actually work, we'll have CWM recovery for that tablet as well.
Take care
Gary
I have an international 6200. If you tell me what you need and maybe some help in how to get it, I will dump whatever you want.

Currently, they all share the same "recovery" binary (entire /sbin directory, actually), but they need different recovery.fstab files in the initramfs due to different /system (and /data, I think) locations. I'm not at home, so I can't check if it was only 'system' or both.
That one file being different causes them to have a different initramfs, and therefore a different zImage (recovery.img.) I once considered using init.rc to dynamically put a different recovery.fsab into place based on the tablet model at runtime, but how would I be able to determine the tablet model dynamically? default.prop would be useless (as it's also part of the recovery initramfs) and it wouldn't be a good idea for the RECOVERY to rely on the existance of valid data on any other partition. There are ways to take educated guesses based on partition counts and other strange things, but I don't think it's worth the risks.
I do have to admit that I've been having fun messing with this stuff.
Take care

Seriously - this has not been tested enough for me to be happy with it, and I'm unable to test it myself. Please read the thread for the GT-P6210 for instructions, known issues, warnings, etc.
If you do decide to install this anyway, please let me know how it works out for you. If no one is using it, I WILL NOT MAINTAIN IT AND WILL DROP IT.
If people do start using it, and the reports are that everything is working okay, then it'll get merged into what I'm already doing with the other two 7 plus models (meaning it'll get updated as needed when they do.)
Again, PLEASE READ the thread for the 6210 for everything you need to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532
..and here's a link for a CWM recovery.

Hi, Placeholder. I'm a placeholder, too. Good meeting you here.
Pm'ed you. went straight in CWM, looks nice. able to make a full backup and md5. fails to restore in the middle of restoring /data
also getting UDIDs are inconsistent , fixing permission is supposed to take care of this.
and Im pretty much factory reset after reboot.
EDIT: appears as if Location cache map app by remy in market I had set to block wifi and cell caches. restoring a backup in CWM got permissions error, trestoring /data fails and Im left with pretty much a factory reset. went back to market and reinstalled suspicious app, installed and still says caches blocked removed app, rebooted, made back up and successful restore! woo hoo! Thank You Gary!
Note: should we make a note for 7+ CWM users beware blocked location caches, or re-write recovery to take care of this, and/or email the app dev?
anyways, pretty excited. Thanks so much Gary.
Anyone else want to help test the CWM Recovery for this tablet? (GT-P6200 only)
The current tester has had mixed results, but it _may_ have been the result of a third party app causing problems. I'd like to get someone else to test in addition to ensure there aren't any other issues.
In order to test, I need someone who has "adb" installed on their PC, is comfortable with linux commands, already knows how to use adb for commands such as "adb shell, adb push, and adb pull", doesn't mind using ODIN to restore their tablet to a factory state if it soft-bricks, and already knows how to use ODIN and CWM Recovery.
As a side-note; the third party app that MIGHT have been causing the problem is "Location Cache" by "remydemy." I don't use this app myself, but apparently it has some function to block the google/android location caches and it appears to do that by messing with the permissions on the files... which is somehow causing an error when the recovery tries to clean the /data directory in order to restore.
Thanks
Gary
link posted for testing.
thanks again gary loving it.
when I select wipe dalvik cache in CWM options it says dalvik cache wiped awfully fast. and after reboot and removing some bloatware.apks there are still loads of .dex files in /data/dalvik-cache including bloat that i removed.
So i just used root ecplorer to delete entire contents of folder. : )
is this not linked properly or CWM issue, or is this normal function?
thanks so much for your help.

I'll look into it. Please try this alternative to test that function: Boot your phone normally, and then reboot into recovery. Using the recovery menu, mount the /data partition. Then use 'adb shell' to shell into the device and manually look in the /data/dalvik-cache directory. Then "cd /" and from within recovery choose the advanced->wipe dalvik-cache. Then look in /data/dalvik-cache directory again to see if it did what it should have done.
It's possible, based on the ordering of your above description, that the dalvik cache rebuilt after you wiped it (during the reboot) but before you removed your bloatware.
Take care

not as of yet, sometime today though.
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------
so yeah, you must be right. dalvik-cache was full with /data mounted. cd / then wiped dalvik from CWM, which finishes in a split second; a list (ls) shows no dalvik-cache folder after wiping, completly gone.
Answers my question.
One other issue I ran into, that you're may be aware of is somehow I disabled the power button in CWM, it said something about back button disabled. I think I had to hold power for 10 sec. to reset device.
Thanks.

That one I'm not sure of and really can't help much with. No 'power' button means you can't select anything which would really be annoying.
it works great! instant root and cwm within 2 minutes! i highly recommend gary's method than the other one. i also don't seem to lose root access by clearing ram memory. SWEET.

formatting the internal SDCard isn't going to happen with this version of CWM (that's designed for GB.) Honeycomb devices don't have a seperate /sdcard partition to format. Formatting the "internal sdcard" can be done from within the settings menu via a factory reset.
The other two items aren't broken - they simply don't exist in CWM recovery, and probably never will... Is having the pre-loaded samsgung sample video and music files repushed to your device over and over actually more important to you than the ability to do a nandroid backup? Do you even know what the CSC is that isn't being updated?
Have you bothered to seach around BEFORE installing this? Have you bothered to search around AFTER installing it to find out how to restore to factory?
I'm NOT going to answer your specific question on the basis that it's been answered already and I honestly feel that a user of XDA needs to have the ability to SEARCH before posting.

worked like a charm...backup and restore works perfectly...
thanks gary !!!
Hey Gary-
Question -
Is it possible to get ROM manager to recognize the recovery flashed here? I'd like to flash the new version of CWM, which claims to fix the internal SD card problem, but when I install ROM Manager it doesn't recognize that I have CWM flashed.
I could just flash a new recovery from ROM Manager, but I don't want to screw anything up.
Thanks!

This recovery is CWM Based - it is not an official ROM Manager supported recovery. I have no idea what "internal SD card problem" you are referring to, as I had internal sd card issues resolved with this CWM-based recovery before I posted it (there's only a single version for the P6200.)
I'd actually advise against using the "ROM Manager" program on this device. It's not a supported device, and things can go terribly wrong when messing with recovery and firmware partitions that aren't explicitly supported.

Got it - sort of what I figured.
Am I wrong that Recovery still sees the external SD card as an internal SD card? I thought the last time I flashed a zip (boot animation) Recovery showed it as being on the internal card, even though it was actually on the external card. I could be wrong, though - and I don't have the device in front of me to check.
Not a big deal either way - thanks for the response, and your hard work!
*Edit*
Just realized I posted this in the wrong thread like an idiot - I have a P6210. guess that's what happens when you start posting things bc (before coffee).
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 2.6.3.0:
-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
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!

answer 1 yes download the zip file and flash it like you do with rom's
answer 2 no if your key its not working you have to be booted and if your rom dont have that option dust search on market(play store) for quick reboot
Thanks for the quick reply...... I guess I will wait till Monday or Tuesday till I get it fixed to flash this recovery....... as I nearly lost use of phone as the last rom I installed didn't boot and the volume down key saved me by working for the very last time.

You can use Droid explorer to reboot into recovery without any volume keys. this is a computer application that is able to read your device in any stage, booting, recovery and even during bootanimation.
Just boot up ur device and connect it to your computer
Launch droid explorer
wait for device to be detected and connected
goto tools and reboot into recovery
Done.
I have one question. Can I flash IMG files through this recovery? For example radio.img file, in HTC Deisre i had some rocovery (i dont remamber name) i could flash radio.img. Sorry for my bad english :|

No, you need to flash it in fastboot. The command to do so is (without the quotes) "fastboot flash recovery *name of recovery.img*"

very good!
the option to wipe cache after flashing something is very useful
only one thing i miss from 4EXT: wipe all partitions expect SD. it was so useful! i hope it will be added in the next release.

For the record:
Factory reset wipes both data and cache. Dalvik cache is part of data and cache so there's no need to wipe dalvik if you already did a factory reset. 99% of the time the ROM zip that you install wipes system for you, so you usually don't need to wipe system and doing so is just more wear and tear on your emmc chip along with wasted time.
So, for 99% of cases, a factory reset is all you need.

[RECOVERY] [3/28/16] TWRP 3.0.0-1 - TeamWin Recovery Project
TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.0.x for the Motorola Photon Q!
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
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.

Buglist
**If you had an old version of TWRP installed before, MAKE SURE you 'Restore Defaults' under 'Settings' in TWRP**
Clock is off. Not sure why, seems unfixable.
Cannot use physical keyboard to type in Recovery...Obviously the on-screen kb works fine.
Directions:
** You must be unlocked in order to do this.**
2 choices after rooting. You can download TWRP Manager from the Play Store, menu, TWRP install & wait... (I do not provide support for this app FYI) or:
1. Reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader, or turn off device, hold power + cam when booting and select 'fastboot')
2. Once in fastboot,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.7.1.2-asanti_c.img
3. Hit power - device turns off. Hold vol up + power, then release power when the screen comes on - continue holding vol up. When you see the moto logo dim a bit, release vol up. You should now be in TWRP!
Works great! I used Goomanager
Edit: Works as in installs and boots. Touchscreen works, I have not tested the actual functions as of yet.
Tried to do a backup to external SD, it seems to have done it but after the loading bar finished I got the initial blue and black logo and couldn't get out of it. Had to 3 button reboot. Can't find the backup.

Hrm. I'll look into that... I think I've only done a backup to internal SD as my external is ridiculously full.
Edit - just did a backup of boot to the external, worked just fine. Perhaps wait a bit? How long did you wait, and what were you backing up?
Edit 2 - ok, perhaps I jumped the gun. "Worked" doesn't quite describe it... I have the TWRP folders for the backup, but there's no backup file in there. Strange... Perhaps because I backed up only boot. I'll try again with less junk on the card and do a full backup...

Just went with the default settings, I didn't wait that long after the progress bar went away it went back to a team logo, I let it sit for about a minute and then reset it. Trying again.
Ran through it again, it took a while backing up /data. (398 megs). The bar filled all the way up though it still said "... Backing up /data" Sitting at the teamwin logo again, it's been on this image for 4 minutes at this point (Went to the logo at 6:09). ( Now it's blinking. And now it reset. These could have been caused by my touching the screen. I think the logo is getting "stuck" ). Is the progress bar based on a timer or events?
Also, it made the TWRP folder on the internal SD regardless of the fact I told it external. I did notice that the backup path during said "/sdcard" and not "/mnt/external1". The folder does not contain a backup.

Indeed.
I am in the same "stuck" situation as you now. For the meantime, it seems backing up to external SD does NOT work... I tested backup and restore, but only to internal SD. I saw that my external didn't have enough space, and wrote it off as enough... Apologies for not thoroughly testing that.

No worries, that's what makes XDA the place that it is ^-^. If I expected perfection I would buy an iPh.... couldn't do it with a straight face.
OK, the issue with external SD should be fixed. However, I don't have the ability to push the changes to GooManager, so you'll have to flash manually until it's updated on GooManager (I'll let you know )
Edit - to be clear, you cannot use GooManager or the official link right now. Please use 'mirror 1' and manually update in order to fix the external SD issue (until it's officially updated).
Alrighty, Dees_Troy said it is officially updated. I can see the update on the official link - but I'm not sure how on GooManager you update - if you just click 'check for updates'? That seems to only check on ROM updates, but I could be wrong.
Please let me know how it goes! If you experience any issues, etc.
Edit - seems you just do the same as when it was initially installed... Menu -> Install OpenRecoveryScript & wait... then reboot to recovery.
Also, if you notice - TWRP is now 2.2.2.2 - yes, a whole lotta 2's... but that last .2 is the Q!! Congrats, we're official!
Aweesssommeee....
2.2.2.2 is finally showing up in goo
New SD path seems to be working. Any idea what driver it tried to install?
Looks like the logo issue is fixed too, grats.

Hmm, maybe I'm just going crazy, when it booted into recovery I got a dialog box that it was trying to install "asanti" and didn't have the driver, I've got the motorola app installed and adb works normally. Probably just a fluke.

Huh... perhaps when the device was 'in limbo'. I forced mine into limbo a few times messing with the kernel yesterday, and it did indeed create a bunch of new devices in Windows - some installed correctly, but adb didn't exactly work...
Hopefully no more of that on TWRP! I have run thru the gambit and the only outstanding fixable bugs are probably going to be the mass storage and the physical keyboard - which will probably take some time. I don't think the clock issue is fix-able...
Let me know if you guys find anything else broken. So far it has all worked for me!

Same. It was REALLY fast over wifi.
I must be missing something. I sat and watched it say installing recovery for about 15minutes. Had to keep touching the screen to keep it awake... Will try again.
Edit: it just took about 40seconds.. Thanks. It works now.

Nice, glad it works for you!
So I've got 3 thanks on the first post, and I think 2 people have responded that they've installed it (with a third 'approving' of it )... but 60+ downloads? Is it just working that well that everyone forgets this thread exists? Hahahaha!
Well, I hope it is working well for everyone. Enjoy!
