Thanks for the heavy lifting you did. It is actually a good idea to still hardmod the keys I guess, when all else fails. Also, I hope teamwin also ports the blue-themed TWRP into the NookColor as well as the current gray one so we have many choices :)

Tapatalkin' it from my rooted NookColor running CM7 MiRaGe [KANG] [7.2 RC] overclocked @ 1.2 GHz

I sent a request for a terminal window with soft keyboard. They said it's planned.
[Nook Color Android Development] mejack03:
I copied uRecImg and uRecRam to my boot folder. And i could boot my NC to TWRP recovery but touch screen doesn't work.. I dont know why?
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I'd go back... this project has been dropped. So it will not progress passed the RC stage it is in now.

Hopefully we'll get an updated CWM out of the deal if Koush accepts the help.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Yes, that's right, TWRP 2.1.0 is out RIGHT NOW! Hit the links below for a list of changes or install it via the GooManager app!

Team Win Recovery Project 2.1, 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.

Phone look:

Tablet look:

DOWNLOAD:

The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:

Play Store Link

Direct Download

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 very hard to keep up with multiple threads for multiple devices. Please search the issues list first. Your issue may have already been reported.

SUPPORT:

Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
Forgive my ignorance, but which file are we after exactly? It is not very clear. I found two for encore under devs/twrp2. One is appended as kernel and the other as ub. I could find no further file description or instructions for install. Thanks for the update.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
If you look at the directions, directly under those files. It tells you to get both files as you're pushing them both in the directions.

Though, they need to correct the directions to account for the new file names.

should be:

adb push twrp-encore-2.1.0.ub /boot/uRecRam

adb push twrp-encore-kernel-2.1.0 /boot/uRecImg

To be honest though, it's easier to just do it through goo manager.
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
I am seriously missing something. The instructions were not on the dev page I finally drilled down to, just a file list for various devices nor do I see anywhere to download or install TWRP recovery in GooManager 2.0.

Edit: Got it. Even a blind hog snorts up an acorn from time to time. In GooManager you choose menu. Select the option to Install OpenRecovery Script. The first time it will just ask SU permission and set the script. Go back and select it again and then it will ask about.downloading and installing recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
If anyone is having touchscreen issues, please try to stop by the IRC chan (#twrp on freenode). There's a link at the bottom of the OP for webchat if you don't have an IRC client configured.
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
Anyone.else unable to access the SD card in recovery?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Look in the mounts menu, you may need to enable the sdcard. For devices with internal memory it may default to internal memory if you haven't run twrp before.
[Nook Color Android Development] sisterchick:
I did a backup and did a full wipe. When I went to flash a ROM, I could not get to SD. I went into the mounts menu and enabled SD card but to no avail. I restarted into recovery and still unable to access SD. I had upgraded from previous TWRP build. Ended up restoring ROM using backup I had just created. I just verified that the backup wrote to emcc.
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
I'm having touchscreen issues with this version. After going through a bunch of menu screens, my touchscreen stops responding and I have to reboot my nook manually.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Please come to the IRC channel so I can have you test a different kernel. Instructions are the OP.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Fixed 2.1 flashable zips for those having touchscreen issues, they're labeled as test- for now but work fine. Within the next day or two we'll push an update through the goo app.

TWRP as recovery: http://tinyw.in/B9oR

TWRP as alternate: http://tinyw.in/dav8

Thanks for friedsonjim and nphil for testing.
[Nook Color Android Development] velizet:
+How do we install TWRP from the GooManager application? Which menu do we use?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Menu - install openscript recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobtidey:
I think TWRP is a great improvement for the low level ROM management, but I find Backup can be a bit confusing. On my 2.1 install the first time I run back up after entering TWRP it immediately says "Backup Complete Successful" but then goes on to actually back up the partitions with just the scrolling log messages for the next few minutes. If I run it again then I get the progress bars and it waits till the end before it says complete.

First time this happened I thought the backup hadn't been done properly so did a Back and another backup and actually had two backups running in parallel.

Not a big problem as I now know to wait.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Yeah this is a known but really random and mostly infrequent bug that we haven't been able to isolate yet.. doesn't affect the backups though. Hopefully it'll be fixed one day....
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
So... I have two complaints...

1) I cannot browse to SD.

2) After a fairly short time the screen becomes totally unresponsive.

I have to go back to CWM so I can flash the new CM9. I look forward to a less buggy update.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Try the zips i posted a few posts up. Also you need to enable sdcard in the mounts menu.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I figured I'd waited long enough for the update via Goo app... apparently not. I'll try it now.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Actually the update was pushed yesterday, so goo manager will now install the latest version 2.1.1. This should fix the touchscreen issues and a rare issue where you may have gotten "stuck" in recovery. Also adds a new stock theme courtesy of racks11479! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] nphil:
Touchscreen issues have returned with this latest build, (2.1.1) for me it's only when you try to multitouch the screen though. Nothing but physical buttons respond after that point.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I haven't gotten 2.1.1, but 2.1 test worked to fix my touchscreen issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Can anyone else who had touchscreen issues before provide feedback? This should be working the same as the test versions..... I can't replicate this, my touchscreen seems to work with any of the kernels we use.
[Nook Color Android Development] jaw2012:
Hey love the Recovery (using most up to date version). The only thing is for some reason my Nook is now always booting into the Recovery. I can get into a normal boot but have to always go thru the reboot function inside recovery.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Do you have access to adb? If so, can you try running this command in an adb shell while in recovery?

# ./sbin/runatboot.sh

See if it post any errors about /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 being read only. And if so, can you pull the recovery.log and post it here?

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] foltz61:
I'm still having freezing issues. What's weird is that the unlock screen works during the freeze.
[Nook Color Android Development] deshwasi:
I have a sd card based cm9 install (running nightlies). apparently i dont have any recovery. how do i flash this twrp? i tried with goomanager but it doesnt do anything upon reboot. can i even flash this on a sd-card cm9 install?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Trying...

Here's something to try.

twrp-2.1-nc-2012-05-17-fullofbugs.tar.gz

Update: use the one in the next post instead.

It defaults to internal SD (/emmc) but once you manually change it ("Mount"->"Using External SD") it should remember it on the next boot.

No helpful anything, it's just a uRecRam. Try at your own risk.
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Newer Version

Well dees_troy redid some SD-related stuff, so here is a newer version that contains his changes:

twrp-2.1-nc-2012-05-18-fullofbugs.tar.gz

Enjoy!
[Nook Color Android Development] iakovl:
how do i flash it to my nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] Puddynose:
Out of curiosity, how does one REMOVE TWRP once installed?
[Nook Color Android Development] raenye:
@iakovl

Download and flash in CWM.

Important note -- when you perform a backup, it may allow you to continue before actually completing the backup. Be sure to see the 'backup complete' message on the progress log before pressing the 'return to menu' button.

@Puddynose

Flash CWM from Rom Manager.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
TWRP 2.2.0 is now live! See OP for the new features! Install via goo manager
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
Working great so far!
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Goo Manager did not install this for me as per the instructions:

"Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will reboot and install the recovery automatically."

I had to choose Install, manually browse to /sdcard/goomanager and manually flash the .zip that was downloaded.

Just an FYI to anyone who upon reboot only sees 2.1.0.
[Nook Color Android Development] mrg666:
Thank you for this recovery. I have tested the followings and everything works as expected.

- flashing CM7 ROM and kernel (MiRaGe)

- mounting USB

- backup/restore

This is such a nice looking, easy to use recovery with so many features. Just one suggestion: if you could supply a flashable zip file it would be easier to users. I used a flashable zip myself.

Kudos to Team Win!
[Nook Color Android Development] Snoshrk:
I too had issues with the GooManager install. The zip flashed fine though...:D

How responsive is the touchscreen to button touches for everyone else? Mine seems to lag quite a bit between button touch and action. (after flashing ROM or backing up)

thkx
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The touchscreen issues that seem to affect people are likely due to the kernel. I'm hoping to have an update for us very soon with a brand new keyodi 3.0 kernel which should make touch much better for everyone. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Snoshrk:
Cool, thought it might have been me, 'twas o'dark thirty when I was playing with it.....:o

thanks

Sno
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Thanks to the devs.

This is the *ONLY* option I found that I could repartition my SDHC card since my computer does not have sufficient hardware.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Is there anything that can be done about the constant freeze-ups? I've tried literally 5 times to get into a folder to flash GAPPs this morning, and the screen stops responding to touch entirely. I'm pretty sure I have to go back to CW just to get some stuff flashed. I vastly prefer TWRP, but these screen not responding issues make it impossible to use sometimes.
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
the lockups happen after transferring something to the sd through UMS right? just let the NC sit for a few moments. It'll respond.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Ummm... I don't... think so? I'm not sure what UMS is... in my case it happens while trying to browse my SD for flashable zips, like for instance GAPPs. And it was immediately after loading and browsing, no copying, no nothing weird. And it froze up like 7 times in a row. So I re-installed CWM to get GAPPs installed to try a new ROM.
[Nook Color Android Development] Snoshrk:
Yo eyeballer... here's a wrench....

TWRP 2.2 still has touchscreen issue. BUT! I just noticed that two (2) finger touch WORKS?!?..... :confused:

ie.: when selecting item on screen or slide to [ACTION] with single finger.... UI response is hit or miss,

But if I use 2 fingers (separated 1/2" maybe) UI reacts perfectly. :D

Sno
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
I've placed a copy of twrp 2.3rc1 in my folder on techerrata. Please install and test. This uses the latest 2.6.32 kernel which has more touchscreen fixes from keyodi. Twrp 2.3 final is hopefully coming soon but this should resolve the issues for those that have them. Please report back.

http://techerrata.com/browse/eyeballer/twrp

To install, boot to recovery and mount boot in the mounts menu. Then adb push uRecRam and uRecImg to /boot.
[Nook Color Android Development] krylon360:
Works good here. Remember to let the device sit a few after copying over a large file such as a rom.

Touch and swiping are smooth and i love the new feature ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
2.3 is now live in goo manager and on our website. Will update the OP shortly.
[Nook Color Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
Goo Manager is so awesome for noobs like me. Thanks, eyeballer.

I tried to update via Goo Manager, so I went to install OpenRecoveryScript... it downloaded 2.3.0.0, then rebooted... But in trying to apply it, it failed:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I had to toggle signature verification and manually flash it. I was coming from CWM 3.2.0.1.

Just a heads up to others.

Plus side is, I've been clicking around, trying stuff... so far, no freezes on the new TWRP, so that's fantastic!
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Ah, yes I need to re-sign it - had a last minute change and I guess I forgot to do it. Will re-upload. Thanks for posting.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Updated OP to 2.3.0.0
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Just updated encore to 2.3.0.2 - this has some bugfixes from the our main codebase which fixes some potential mounting issues.
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
Thanx!

I' installed TWRP 2.3.02. It works fine for me.

But. I can't see the battery level (like as before with Ver 2.2 and 2.1)

What I have to do for showing battery level in theme?

regards

bitstra
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
We've never had battery level working on encore. I've never really looked into it..
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
thx,

I've asked that because I saw the screenshot wit BatteryLevel in the OP...

Thought only, that it would be nice, if there was the possiblity to have a look at batterystate in TWRP :)

regards

bitstra
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
The screenshots for the tablet version are taken from my TF201 =P

I need to look into battery state for encore at some point...

Updated to 2.3.1.0 - shouldn't really be needed but brings us inline with our main code base.
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
thx...
[Nook Color Android Development] 911jason:
Just had the same problem on 2.3.1.0
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
Same here, coming from 2.2.0 (which my NC rebooted to after downloading 2.3.1)
[Nook Color Android Development] plasticarmyman:
yup. same here....2.3.1.0

but i will admit that i could care less....i kind of like this a hell of a lot better than for this device, less wear and tear on my buttons :)
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Yeah, clearly I messed up when I signed the zip for 2.3.1.0 - will try to fix it tonight.
[Nook Color Android Development] jay084:
Was this ever resolved? My volume buttons apparently stopped working, so I can't navigate the recovery menu to update to CM10 from CM7. I keep getting the "E:signature verification failed Installation aborted". I thought using TWRP 2.3.1.0 would enable me to update without using volume buttons to navigate the recovery menu. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
Update?

Any idea if and when there might be an update to 2.4 for encore?

Love TWRP. Like the idea of more of the app in C.

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Soon.. I hope.. There's a couple of things I want to work on before updating to 2.4 but will keep this thread updated.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
TWRP 2.4.1.0

Before I make these public on goo manager, can I get a few testers?

This is the latest TWRP 2.4.1.0, you can check our website for the changelog: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Please be aware that not all changes apply to the nookcolor.

For installing as recovery on emmc flash this: http://techerrata.com/file/eyeballer/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-encore-signed.zip

For installing as altboot on emmc flash this: http://techerrata.com/file/eyeballer/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-encore-ALT-signed.zip

Or move the files into /boot using adb manually.
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
Installed fine

So far the update running with out a hitch

Last night I installed CM 10.1and new Gapps, wiped cache, and fixed permissions, quickly and no problems. First time I've use the install multiple zip feature.

Great work!!
[Nook Color Android Development] lepa71:
Is there a way to wipe boot partition? btw what is the latest CWM and where can I find it?
[Nook Color Android Development] bitstra:
Thank you eyeballer for updating to 2.4.1.0!

tested backup, recovery and installing a ROM(dirty and full wipe) - All went fine here so you did a great job!

Is it possible to make a battery status icon active in TWRP's headline before you make the update public? :good:

thanx bitstra

[Nook Color Android Development] EAK128:
2.4.1.0 works great! Do we get 2.4.2.0?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Not yet, there will probably be a 2.4.3.0 soon-ish so I'm going to wait and update it all at once.
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
Thank you eyeballer for your hard work and patience with those of us who are technologically challenged. Will be waiting with baited breath for the next update.
[Nook Color Android Development] Bonnie_Raitt:
I just tried restoring a TWRP backup and could not find any backups listed when I went to the Restore button. I tried both internal and SD card but no files were listed. I removed the card and looked at it on my PC. The backup files were there. What am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Discovered the source of my problem. The serial number of the device I was restoring to was not the same as my backup. Once I rrenamed the folder, all was good
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
Yea 2.4.4.0 is out. Not rushing you eyeballer but when you get time I will be glad to test it out for you.
[Nook Color Android Development] raenye:
I think there's a bug in 2.4.1.0 -- the SD card is mounted on /sdc instead of /sdcard, so apps like CM updater or CyanDelta cannot install updates automatically. Anyone else has this?

Also, any update? TWRP 2.5 is already out.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
It shouldn't matter to CM Updater or CyanDelta how TWRP mounts anything... the mount is for TWRP only.
[Nook Color Android Development] raenye:
The problem is that commands passed to the recovery fail.

(e.g., "flash /sdcard/CM-updater/some-nightly-rom.zip")
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
Update?

Any possibility of an update to 2.5.0.0? Looks like a few great new or improved features.

2.6.0.0 Please
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Well, after a long hiatus, the stirring of CM11 has piqued my interest over here again...

TWRP 2.6.3.0

Please test and report back!

[Nook Color Android Development] lorddunlow:
So, I'm assuming this recovery is compatible with and capable of installing KitKat?
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Correct.
[Nook Color Android Development] EAK128:
Did a backup and restore and both went fine, the only issue I had was with the screen timeout, the screen would go blank but won't turn off and when I got back in, the touches were off, like I had to slide my finger on the icon a little for it to register. But the easy fix was to turn that option off in settings. I'll play with it some more, but looks solid so far. Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Can it be used with older zips, like CM10.2 or others. The new CWM versions for CM11 cannot. They give an error message and abort.
[Nook Color Android Development] EAK128:
Yes I used it to restore to my cm 10.2 backup. The only weird thing I noticed was that after the restore I went back into recovery to go back to cm 11 and the recovery was my old one, so had to flash the new one again.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
I haven't tested older zips yet, but hopefully someone can report back today.

That is because you restored /boot which gives you the cm 10.2 kernel back and would also restore whatever recovery you were using at the time.
[Nook Color Android Development] lorddunlow:
Works great for me. No problem with any function so far. Only bug I've seen so far is the already reported bug of the screen back light remaining on when the screen times out. That's not a big deal, though.
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Do you have MD5's on these?

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
The files are an optional download on the techerrata pages. Look for "Click to download the md5."button. This will get you the .md5 file. The md5sum is also on the same page.

I tried upgrading my TWRP 2.3 recovery to the latest 2.6.3.0 (My Nook runs Cyanoboot bootloader)

I flashed the "EMMC Recovery install" file previuosly posted here but now my Nook won't enter to recovery or regular boot. What have I done wrong?

Is there any SD image I can use to flash the recovery? thx!
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
The EMMC AltBoot works!

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] eyeballer:
Not sure what you did wrong... You can use any bootable sd recovery image to re-install twrp and then install your rom. I haven't made new sd images for the new recoveries yet until we're sure it's all stable.
[Nook Color Android Development] pastordl:
TWRP 2.6.3.0 Running great.

Had CWM 6.0.1.2 as primary and 6.0.4.5 as Alternate till today. Put CWM 6.0.4.7 in primary and TWRP 2.6.3.0 as alternate. I like it so much I'll be swapping them tomorrow. I put it as alternate on my CM 10.2 nook. Runs fine there also. Tried settings, Install, backup, recovery, wipes, file manager and terminal command on both my CM11 and CM10.2 nooks. Did notice the quirky touch alignment if screen timeout kicked in. I changed the time out to max and have not encountered the problem since. Also the touch response is not very sensitive compared to 2.4.1.0. Did try Nook Screen Recalibrate to see if that might help. Didn't seem to.

Been waiting a long time for this upgrade. Thank you Eyeballer
