Yeah I got my problem sorted out. Not a TWRP issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nurdyboy:
i know this may bee a stupid question but im a NOOB to the 3d as iv only had it for 3weeks now

Is there a way to get this recovery loaded on the phone (hboot 1.5 unlocked) so i never have to fastboot or be by a computer again to flash a ROM.

something like the old Evo4g days lol
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
this recovery won't do that for you, but there's an app made by dev joeykrim in the themes/apps section that WILL allow you to do that.

If you dont mind could you let us know how your taking screenshots in recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] theratdude64:
I've tried both ways to get this to flash tonight and no luck. Bootloader doesn't see it during the scan, and I've double checked the file name numerous times. When I have had this in the past I found out that my issue was the file was .zip.zip, and that is not the case here. I follow the instructions on http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/67 to the T, and nothing. I've even copy pasted "PG86IMG" so thats not a factor either. Anyone else? Or ideas what I can do?

ADB is a big mess on this computer, but I put a copy of the .img in the two places that I think it may work from, and nothing. I'd prefer the .zip method

My problem is this, our screens r a bit touchy, and since ita touch screen now, we need more wipe menus, as in "are you sure you want to do this"

I formatted my SD card by mistake, I fumbled my phone, saved it from falling, my finger hit the wipe SD card, as I was wiping delvik and cache prior to a kernal flash, however hexamob recovery(the app) still found a lot of the stuff that got deleted.. still was too easy, no type of confirmation or anything just my whole SD card pretty quick lol, on vacation or I would of just loaded a back up,

I'm having a maddening problem with my screen going black while doing a nandroid restore in twrp 2.0.

I did a fastboot erase recovery before flashing the twrp 2.0 recovery, thinking that assure a clean install and fix the problem, but the problem still persists.

Flashing zips

For some reason I can't flash any zips from this recovery. Anyone else experience this problem? I wipe cache and dalvik, go back to main menu and press install, navigate to folder of zip and select it.. I always get a message saying can not open zip file... Stays there forever, have to pull battery to restart the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Benzzo:
Im having the same problem a lot of people are having with the black screen after a wipe once i hit the install button. The phone is not turning itself completely off because i get haptic feedback from the phone buttons when pressed. I hope this problem is fixed soon because as most people know, it's a pain in the arse to take the back off this device to pull the battery... Great recovery beyond this issue
[HTC EVO 3D] berto55:

For the people having issues flashing I read post where some people are having success deleting there old recovery and flashing the new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Don't pull the battery. Hold both volume buttons and the power until it reboots. The functionality of the touchscreen far outweighs the bugs for me so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
not for me. Function over fashion
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
Yeah this issue caused a bit of an inconvenience for me as well. I forgot to delete the PCIMG36.zip or whatever file after installing. Went to flash a new ROM, did superwipe.zip first and then went to install the ROM itself and the screen went black. So I rebooted into bootloader and it kept detecting the PCIMG file and wouldn't let me get into recovery, and also wouldn't boot the ROM because I believe the superwipe file wipes the 'boot' as well.... ended up having to put my SD card into another phone and use file explorer to delete the PCIMG file.

Maybe there is an easier way, but this is all I could think of, incase anyone else happens to have the same set of circumstances...
[HTC EVO 3D] azdragon:
Stupid me did the exact same thing (left a bootable install image on my SD card). And like you, I also got the feared "Black Screen of Death." Fortunately (after sweating for a couple of minutes), I realized that I was sitting at my computer and could use adb to get out of the jam. I was successfully able to use the command "adb reboot recovery" to skip the bootloader and get into TWRP 2.0 recovery. Once there, I toggled into USB mode and deleted the offending file and reinstalled my ROM to fix the bootup problem (as an alternative, if I wasn't hell-bent on trying out a new ROM, I could have more simply just restored my latest Nandroid backup).

Problem solved. (I wish all my phone problems had such a happy ending!)
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I don't think you would be successful restoring a Nandroid backup, precisely because the "Black Screen of Death" re-appears before the restore process is completed. That's the whole problem.

One of the primary reasons I run a recovery is to restore backups. Unfortunately, that feature not working for me on twrp 2.0 is a deal breaker. I'm forced to fall back to 1.0.3 until this issue gets resolved.
[HTC EVO 3D] mptherealmp:
I had the BSOD issue when I first installed this recovery. I had done a backup, factory reset, wiped system, flashed Chad's modded superwipe, and attempted to restore the freshly made backup and ended up with black screen. Used adb to reboot recovery and kept having the same thing happen like 3 or 4 times straight.

So I reinstalled the recovery (PG86 method) and renamed the backup I was trying to installed from 2011-12-**--**-**-** to simply MynRls1. I was then able to restore it without a problem and haven't had any recovery issues (other than the batt % known issue.) I can backup, flash, wipe, and restore multiple times in the the same recovery session with no black screen.

I'm pretty sure reinstalling using adb to boot into the bootloader is most likely the reason I'm problem free.

And I'm also on the Engineering Hboot from Haus.
[HTC EVO 3D] HSadler93:
Everything's workings good on my evo 3d with hboot 1.4!

Agrabren posted this on his twitter feed yesterday:

http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-shooter-2-agrabren.img

It should have a fix for the black screen of death issue as well as a new "swipe to wipe" confirmation on the wipe screens. Also, if you hit the power button, a lock screen of sorts will come up.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:

[HTC EVO 3D] ceabbott2:
I had a similar issue to sketchy yesterday. Did a full wipe, wiped d & c then touched install to install new ROM and the screen went black. After about 60 seconds it booted into bootloader. Whew, anywho the only problem other than that is I'm wondering it when I wipe if I'm actually getting a full wipe is there a way to tell?

Thank you teamwin for twrp. Now maybe I won't have to intuit because my power button stopped functioning :)

[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Well, I flashed that image in bootloader, but now when I issue any adb commands over the USB it says "device not found", and my computer doesn't recognize the phone as a drive anymore when I mount USB storage.

How do I fix that?
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
back trying TWRP2 again. Just not going to flash multiple zips. lol

Plus the themes are too cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] DowntownRDB:
Sometimes that's why it pays to keep back ups of back ups on the Cloud...any Cloud. Just saying.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I have that test build running right now too :)

I'll test some adb stuff when I can. I can't imagine agrabren would have disabled a way to communicate with his own recovery tho, maybe try flashing via fastboot? Also many adb commands can be done via fastboot commands, what exactly were you trying to do?
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I did flash it through fastboot, did a "fastboot erase recovery" first, then did a "fastboot flash recovery twrp-shooter-2-agrabren.img", then booted into recovery, and that's when neither adb nor the computer would recognize the phone anymore. Also, when I touch the little button at bottom center of the screen in recovery it shows a message saying that the system couldn't read the twrp backup directory on the sd card (so maybe something's not getting mounted, but I don't really understand the concept of "mount" and "unmount"). But when I boot to system everything's fine, the computer can see the phone again and adb recognizes the phone. But when I boot back to recovery, adb can't recognize the phone, and the computer can't see the sd card.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
i installed mine with GUI. Also put the recovery.img in my adb tools folder.

Everything is working good other than the multiple zip issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] jiminitaur:
Back button in file browser should go up one folder not return to the mode selection screen.

Other than that: AWESOME. The first recovery that isn't a ghetto piece of crap. Keep up the good work guys.

P.S. Some copy & paste options for files wouldn't hurt either.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
so "adb devices" doesn't return "< serial # > recovery"?

also, when in recovery the comp can only read the phone if you mount usb storage. Have you tried going into advanced in rec, and "mount system" then see if you can adb pull and apk?
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Nope, "adb devices" returns an empty "List of devices attached" (nothing follows that statement except a new DOS prompt).

When I mount system and try an adb pull (I tried Mail.apk) it returns "error: device not found".
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
have you tried wireless adb? just wondering really.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
I haven't had any issues when flashing multiple zips... I have however gotten one black screen with the responsive capacitive buttons when hitting reboot system after a flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
No, wireless adb is intended for use while the phone is active in system and wifi is enabled. So how would I use it in recovery?

Not sure you're understanding what my problem is. When I'm booted to system, everything's fine, adb works and I can mount the phone as USB storage. But when I'm in recovery, my computer can't see the phone at all, neither by adb nor as a mounted drive.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
i can boot & use either recovery. TWRP1 & 2. Is that bad? lol

worked fine so far. I just flashed a kernel in TWRP2 & then flashed a statusbar mod in TWRP1.

Just bored. haha
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Somebody get a rope.. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
whats that supposed to mean? haha :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Nuthin at all, it was meant in good humor, it comes from an old Pace picante sauce commercial. I'm all bummed because I can't get this darn recovery to run at all, and you're running multiple versions at the same time, lol, so I was thinking if we were to string you up from the nearest tree at least it might make me feel better about my own miserable condition..

On second thought, it was prolly a poor joke, sorry! :o
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
its cool. Yea, deleted both recoveries. Flashed each one in GUI & named one recovery.img & the other twrp2.img both are in my adb/tools folder. I either

fastboot boot recovery.img

or

fastboot boot twrp2.img
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
What is this GUI you speak of? I've seen that mentioned before, and at this point I'm willing to try anything if it might work..
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Flash Image GUI. I bought it a few months back but rarely use it. You can flash kernels like this with hboot 1.5. I dont like to flash kernels like this though & noticed the ability to flash a recovery image. totally worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I'll look into that, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Fyi... It is made by joeykim and he has a thread in the theme/app section. I've heard very good things about it, but I a on hboot 1.4. Check it out.

I've been testing that recovery since shortly after agrabren's post. One major problem I'm seeing is that it breaks my computer's adb connection to my phone when the phone is in recovery or when the phone is turned off.

Edit: It also appears that the charging controller is corrupted when the phone is turned off. I charged the phone fully while booted (LED light turned green), then I turned the phone off and the led turned red and started flashing slowly. I left the phone plugged in for another 1-1/2 hours but the flashing LED never turned green, but the phone stayed warm. So there was some electrical activity going on somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Hi, using 2.0 here with engineered boot loader and it seems a bit sluggish at times but works fine...
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I'm running that setup, but TWRP 2.0 gives me the black screen a few seconds after starting a nandroid restore so I went back to 1.0.3.

Sure hope the black screen issue gets fixed. I'll be glad to get a logcat for anyone if they want to investigate it, I can make it happen anytime lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Didn't I read that they had the black screen issue fixed and added some new features? This newest version just hasn't been released yet I'm guessing?
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Agrabren did release a "cutting edge" beta recovery on his Twitter page for "daring individuals". Using that, I did manage to successfully restore a nandroid backup, but that recovery caused me to totally lose computer connection of the phone through adb and USB external storage, and charging the battery while powered off was also hosed. At least those were my own observations.

TWRP 2.0 gives me errors

I was running TWRP 1.1 everything perfect. I was very excited to see the 2.0 version in all its touch screen glory! BUT my excitement was soon tempered by a nasty little error:

android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly problem force close

Ok Ladies and Gents,

I did a search didn't come up with anything in two forums. I was on 533 nightly when this problem started. It may have to do with TWRP 2.0 not for sure? I started getting the old error android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly problem, force close. Of course the phone stops working and I get frustrated. Thought it was a dirty download so I tried Flips newest creation and sure enough after I have it set up enough to do a nandroid make the back up then about the time I make a few phone calls t starts kicking our the error android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly problem, force close. Before I try the newest TWRP from Agrabren or revert back to TWRP 1.0.3 or whatever the most recent version. Just thought I thought I would first check with the mynions.

Oh thanks everyone for any ideas,

I'm on 1.4 hboot, baseband 0.97.10.0808, PRI 1.24.003, PRL 21083, Android version 2.3.4 & Sense 3.0 currently...

I received some advice from two mynions on my developers web page. Here was there suggestions:

Thanks jbermi and huytrang90,

Ok now it gets really weird, I just realized it's my brothers phone that causes the issue? What the f?I called many different phone numbers even a Miami area code like his....it has happened on two different fresh installs of two different Roms. I did clear the data on the phone app but should I completely delete his contact and then allow google to sync? It seems I basically already did that with the installs of the different roms? Any ideas WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THIS? Very weird.

Thanks again because I have no clue

Charles

EUREKA!!! The fix was going back to TWRP 1.0.1 (whatever the version before 2.0).

Now I can call my brother and a receive calls from him as well.

Anyone in Teamwin have any idea? I have a couple of logcats if anyone would like them just pm me.

I remember three were a couple of HTC sense errors

Gosh darn it I want 2.0 I consider the donation a back tax for using all of Teamwin's earlier versions that I have used and still use today. Thanks again guys and I know2.0 is in my future. I'll try to be patient :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Kenjari:
I believed someone posted about this already but I can't locate it.

I flashed twrp 2 but when I use miui reboot to recovery it boots back up in cwm ....my old recovery. How do I get it to only boot twrp from the rom without using a computer?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
That's an odd one. So you're saying that if you boot to recovery from your computer with adb, it boots to twrp...and if you boot recovery from the ROM then it boots cwm?! If so, I'd wipe you're recovery partition and then reflash twrp. I believe the command is fastboot erase recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
It's because he has the old image in fastboot folder, just needs to replace the image there. Banged my head around the first I heard this "issue" last week. Fastboot boot just loads up whatever image is in that folder, whereas if you've flashed the image by another method (pg.zip) it will boot that with any other means of booting recovery except fastboot boot. Lol. I'm tired sorry if makes no sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kenjari:
Yeap. Okay i will try deleting the recovery. Thanks.

Makes perfect sense. I got hboot 1.5 so I didn't think the pg.zip would work. But I will try the above mentioned method.

[HTC EVO 3D] thegame3202:
I love this! However I have not figured out how to flash multiple zips... Is there an option somewhere?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
If you fastboot INTO recovery it uses the recovery image you have in your fastboot directory, NOT the one flashed to your phone. All you have to do is put the twrp2 recovery.img into your fastboot directory, and then it will boot into that when you "fastboot boot nameofyourrecovery.img" AND if you boot recovery from the phone or adb (assuming of course you flashed twrp2 as well). Hope this explains some things/helps you out.

From the main menu > wipe > system (done).

No, you can just hit the back button to get to the main menu and then select/flash your new zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] thegame3202:
Last time I tried that, my phone blacked out and rebooted... haha. I'll try again, might've just been a weird thing.

Just did it again. I flash the rom, hit the "main menu" then "install"... screen goes black and phone turns off. I have to pull battery to get it back on again.
