TWRP 2 status...Letter from agrabren: http://t.co/Ihi0X0BV @agrabren -- ACSyndicate (@ACSyndicate)

Also, I reccomend following ACS.
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
jeezus...just when we got an actual TOUCH recovery. A touch recovery helps a crapload on a tablet. I hate having to use the volume rocker.
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
ACS just took that from Agrabren's twitter and rehosted his blog post.

Actual info would reside with Agrabren or with TeamWin.

Anyway, the hope is that support won't totally dry up until there is a good alternative existing. Dees_Troy is still working on it from our end while we start pursuing different projects.
[TouchPad Development] worm9110:
I want to remove twrp and don't have adb installed. Can somehome help me out. I don't want to use webos either because I don't have preware installed.
[TouchPad Development] dallas.maverick:
Probably not a good idea to do this without ADB. The recoveries reside in /boot partition which has been known to get filled up quick due to presence of multiple recoveries. You don't want to end up with a partially transferred recovery and disk full. I would strongly recommend spending your efforts to get adb installed and then only attempt anything of this nature. This is sometimes a life saver when your device is really gone dead. It is very straightforward to install adb via Android SDK installation.
[TouchPad Development] dallas.maverick:
If you still want to take a chance to remove TWRP and replace it with Clockworkmod Recovery without ADB , use the following steps with extreme caution:

1) Download Clockword Mod Recovery from the below link:

rootzwiki.com/topic/10121-releasealpha35cyanogenmod-touchpad/

2) Mount /system partition using ES File Explorer, it's in settings, also make sure root explorer option is checked in there next to it.

3) Go to Terminal Emulator and execute following commands:

su	(Switches to super user/root access)

mkdir /boot	(Create /boot directory)

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /boot	(Mounts /boot partition on your Touchpad)

4) Using ES File Explorer, browse to /boot directory. Now, you should be able to see all your recoveries in there. This step is just need to make sure you can see the recoveries as you will later need to come back here and delete TWRP.

5) Exit out of ES File Explorer. Boot into TWRP recovery and install the Clockworkmod Recovery that you downloaded earlier using the standard zip flashing procedure.

6) Once flashed, you should reboot and this time you will see both TWRP and Clockworkmod Recovery in your moboot menu. Let the system boot up to Android (Cyanogenmod).

7) Using above described procedure, get back into /boot and now you should safely be able to delete uImage.TWRP using ES File Explorer. Remember to mount /boot partition as described above.

NOTE: If this procedure helped, be sure to hit the thanks button :). Use it at your own risk if you don't want to install ADB on your PC or can't install for some reason or if you are away from your PC and don't have access.
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Or in webOS have Preware installed and install Internalz Pro. Then go to /boot in the app and delete uImage.twrp or whatever it is named.
[TouchPad Development] worm9110:
Your write up works perfectly. Got rid of TWRP without ADB or WEBOS. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] dallas.maverick:
Glad to help, go and install CM9 now :), just upgraded directly from CM7 without any data wipe. Make sure you follow instructions on that one and use ACMEInstaller2.

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 AM ----------

The request was made specifically mentioning he didn't want to use webos because he didn't have preware installed, hence the detailed instructions.

[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Ah, I skimmed over that. D: Very good instructions though otherwise.
[TouchPad Development] deathknellx:
So the reason I can't have TWRP installed is because CWM moboot CM9 and WebOs are taking up all the room. Well I would like to try this program out a lot. I guess I could try it out on my HD2 and see. I wish I could have both TWRP and CWM...
[TouchPad Development] philicibine:
Erm... I'm running CWM, CM9 and TWRP at the same time??

Maybe u should start fresh with a doctor.. that what I did. I had tested some alpha linux installs and they created their own partitions etc.. so I used webOS doctor version 3.0.0 which re-partitioned me.. and then doctored with 3.0.5 to get me up to date. And then I did cm9 and CWM and once that was all up and running.. I tried TWRP.

And its all fine and dandy!
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
Yeah, I have CWM, TWRP, and CM9 installed as well. Does the TouchPad size matter? I have a 32GB.
[TouchPad Development] obscure.detour:
I have TWRP, CWR, WebOS, and CM9 installed.

See my instructions on installing CM9 through TWRP here for more clarification.

Hope this helps. Cheers.
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
R.I.P.

Does anyone else know of another touchscreen recovery?
[TouchPad Development] travisross69:
Is TWRP 2.0 done? I tried downloading an flashing but all it did was hang. I had to delete the ulmage to get rid of it because it wouldn't let me open cwm... is there another way to make it work? I would really like to try it.
[TouchPad Development] xIC-MACIx:
I flashed it last night through CWM and it worked fine, and even if they've closed up shop, its got everything you need for a recovery and once marc2040 re-releases his theme for it, I will be satisfied.

I DLed it from here:http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/75

Edit: I also left CWM as the default recovery cuz messing with uimage did some funky stuff. TWRP is select able in moboot.
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
Bummmmp dat for 2.1!
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
Ftmfw!!!!!!!

Edit: jeez that's a ton of changes (good though!). I'd given up faith for a good recovery lol
[TouchPad Development] Jotokun:
Awesome, thought twrp was discontinued. Just installed 2.1, seems to run nicely. My volume buttons thank you.
[TouchPad Development] harpo1:
Installed but it doesn't show boot to TWRP in moboot. If I select CWM it boots into TWRP.
[TouchPad Development] rg2:
Same here I didn't realize it would install over CWM rather than just alongsode it. Is there any remedy to this?
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
What remedy would you like? Rename it in moboot?
[TouchPad Development] dfskevinohyeah:
its a recovery guys its meant to flash over CWM, you can't have two recoveries.
[TouchPad Development] harpo1:
Actually you can but GooManager won't work with two. Was informed of this on the TWRP IRC channel.
[TouchPad Development] cdmcfud:
I like it that way. The CWM manager will go TWRP as well. That's perfect for zip files.(download to android from pc, go to CWM manager hit boot to recovery from there then install from zip) That saves a couple of steps.

Now I can enjoy TWRP sense it's being supported again.
[TouchPad Development] bigjay517:
Is there a way to make "Reboot to Recovery" in the CM9 reboot menu actually boot to TWRP? As long as I leave the uImage named uImage.ClockworkMod it will work? What if I wanted to rename it?
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
LIking TWRP so far. Need to learn how to theme it, so I can make it look pretty lol.

Tried one theme yesterday, and it looked nice, but the "install" key didn't work, which is kind of a big deal with custom recovery lol.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] slick_rick:
How would you revert back to clockworkmod after trying this out? Just wondering because I might try this out.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
You'd flash the CWM zip in recovery.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] seth.i.simmons:
Live the new TWRP, SOOOOO much nicer than CWM. Only qualm I have is that for some reason we get the phone layout and not the tablet one. Not a big deal, just noticed that while I was loooking at there page a second ago.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
You sure you got the right one? From what I saw, we got the right version :confused:

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] seth.i.simmons:
Is yours grey?? On their home page it shows a blue version for tablets...

Edit: maybe I'm wrong, coulda sworn I saw that the blue was the tablet version.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
Blue is the phone version. Gray is for tablets. But, it can be themed to look however you want.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
Same here.
[TouchPad Development] seth.i.simmons:
OK, sweet, thanks for clearing that up.
[TouchPad Development] Dees_Troy:
Supporting this would require a code change to either CM9 or to moboot. Replacing ClockworkMod was easier and seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Replacing is right in my view to make it the default. I did rename ClockworkMod to uImage.CWM before I installed the new TWRP. So TWRP is the default but I can still get into ClockworkMod from manual moboot selection. An extra safety measure in case anything goes wrong.
[TouchPad Development] sweetboy02125:
IS this TOUCH RECOVERY? or still have to use the volume button?
[TouchPad Development] keithsipa:
It is Touch Recovery.
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
There should be a patch to just look for uImage.Recovery instead of uImage.ClockworkMod so it's generic. Then anyone could put whatever they want there.
[TouchPad Development] beckitach:
I was using the latest TWRP 2.1 and CM9 nightly.

When I clicked reboot to recovery, now my TP just keeps blinking TWRP's logo page, like in a loop. Now if I press power and home buttons to restart, it will go to recovery directly and then enter the infinite loop again... Anyone knows how I can fix that? At least get out of the loop? ;(

p.s. while it's in the loop, using webOS doctor doesn't seem to be able to detect the device.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
ACMEInstaller will work if you can get it into webOS recovery. Hold the volume up key and power key while its turning on.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] Neejay:
Something really odd: If I do anything in TWRP 2.1.1, my moboot menu gets messed up. I keep having to go and edit the moboot.next and delete anything in here. "CyanogenMod" keeps getting put in there and staying there.

EDIT: I installed using the recovery flashable zip.
[TouchPad Development] cdzo72:
I have not been able to get TWRP installed in either manner, whether it be through the Goomanager app or flashing the zip.... both give the same result... when it tries to flash, the bar moves about a third of the way over then then it disappears, and all is left is the Android with the triangle and an exclamation point on the screen... I then have to hold the power and menu buttons together to get it out of that and then reboot... it leaves no trace of anything changed in my /boot folder

Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Love the Touch Recovery - thanks for the hard work, guys!

Running CM9 nightly w/ Rohan's mod-pack & TWRP

When I went to restore a data back-up made on TWRP, it only restored 25% of my apps - it seems as though the applications moved to SD-card weren't backed-up/restored correctly.

Can anyone else replicate my issue?
[TouchPad Development] Powers88:
Honestly the only thing keeping me away from this recovery is the look of it. Granted clockwork mod isnt an eye catcher either, I dont know why but the bland gray bugs me lol.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:

you can wait some days, because when my Touchpad returns from HP, I can finish my theme.

New default theme should be coming down. I know the TF Prime version looks much nicer.

Rohan mod

I love TWRP, Only problem is the Goo manager doesn't work well when you flash Rohan super mod. Since it has a build prop for Samsung SII.

Is one of the devices that is not supported yet.

Update, a quick modify build prop and it worked! After a reboot of course

Modify in build.prop

ro.product.model=cm_tenderloin

ro.product.brand=generic

ro.product.name=touchpad

ro.product.device=tenderloin
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
TWRP 2.1.1 is now available in case you all didn't know.

Hit menu, and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

This is being worked on as we speak. Its an issue that Eyeballer is aware of and there is an easy workaround for the time being. Follow this link above.

UPDATE this has been address in 20120430 nightly. It is fixed thanks to jcsullins.

Just watched The Reverend's video about twrp and he made me a believer. Say " Yeaaaah!"

Awesome guys it amazes me. Got it on my TP now Hoping for my razr.
[TouchPad Development] rob_z11:
is it possible for someone to take snapshot of their boot partition to see what they have? I have deleted the CWM, and trying to install TWRP, and it installs ok, but still gets dreaded boot can't continue message.

I am bit worried on what not to delete to create room for TWRP.
[TouchPad Development] marc2040:
Sounds like your boot partition is full and TWRP can´t be installed complete.

Do you have some space left?
[TouchPad Development] rob_z11:
Well it appears that I do have a lot of typical folders you find on boot partition such as etc, lib, proc, sbin, usr, sys.

I do have 8 Mb file of update-uimage, and I wonder if I need that or not. I have moved that file to SDCard just incase if I do make things worse.

Update:

I got update-uImage file moved to sdcard and which i found on some other forum which is the cause of TWRP not running. It is working now. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
type df in a terminal emulator or adb shell and verify that /boot/ isn't full.

If it is, download moboot cleaner from classicnerd's website and run it in recovery.
[TouchPad Development] rob_z11:
I got it working, but will still need to run moboot cleaner to further clean my boot partition. I have removed update-uimage file which is about Mb, and that created enough from for the TWRP to expand. I have moved the ClockworkMod Uimage to SD incase if TWRP start acting up.
[TouchPad Development] marc2040:
Do you have a custom tga?

Depending on size, they can take up to 2 MB as well.
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
With a reasonably clean boot partition there should be enough room for the standard WebOS stuff, TWRP (labelled as ClockwordMod for compatibility), an ICS ROM boot, AND a standard ClockworkMod which I label as CWM to distinguish it from the TWRP equivalent.

That way you can moboot WebOS, ICS, TWRP as standard recovery and CWM (ClockworkMod) as an alternate recovery.
[TouchPad Development] pgzerwer:
A bit of a weird thing,at least I thought it was weird. When I flashed the 0509 official nightly, my TWRP came up 2.0 instead of the 2.1 I had previously installed. Took like 3 flashes of the 2.1 zip to get it back. Odd one-off, or am I doing something wrong?
[TouchPad Development] marc2040:
Never heard such a problem :confused:

To be sure delete the faulty TWRP in your boot folder and copy a new image of 2.1. Then try to reproduce the defective 2.0. If you don`t see it again, everything should be fine.
[TouchPad Development] lzhikai1994:
My ISP just doesn't like the hosting website. It always restarts the countdown and also downloads a corrupted recovery file which the manager just flash and leaves me with a boot fail message when I select CWM.
[TouchPad Development] jamesissocool:
I have my boot loader exactly how I want it. I have webos twrp cm9 cwm webosrec. I want to install twrp 2.1 but I don't want to Bork my current setup. Any advice?
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
When you install TWRP 2.1 it will replace CWM , you will see clockworkmod in moboot but it will boot TWRP 2.1 , would recommend making a nandroid backup first then install TWRP 2.1 then extract the uimage from the boot partition using root explorer then rename it to match TWRP 2.0 then restore your backup and replace the TWRP 2.0 uimage with the new one in the boot partition, then reboot to check it worked ok

(Not sure why you need both though I manage with just TWRP flashing all my roms through goo manager )
[TouchPad Development] CZroe:
I still have the same boot loader I've had since CM7 Alpha but it boots TWRP when I pick "ClockworkMod." Should I bother to change this? What is the easiest way?
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
At the moment, Cyanogenmod's "Reboot to Recovery" option reboots to whatever is labeled Clockworkmod in your bootloader. So unfortunately we are stuck making twrp appear to be clockworkmod until someone submits a patch to instead look for something more generically labeled.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
Not merged yet, just informing you. http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16495/

[TouchPad Development] pgzerwer:
Works now mi amigos. Says twrp, does twrp.
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
Yes it does

You need to flash one of the latest nightlys then in goo manager reinstall OpenRecovereyScript it won't reboot if you already have TWRP installed but you will now have the option to boot into TWRP in moboot instead of clockworkmod

[TouchPad Development] mafu6:
Hello

Im running 9-20120608-NIGHTLY and i have CWM installed.. i have downloaded the TWRP2.1.1.img but when i try and install it via Terminal Emulator it doesnt seem to work.. here is what i am doing and if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong then that would be greatly appreciated :D

the .img is called twrp211.img and is on the root of my sd card

at the TE i enter the following

su

flash_image recovery/sdcard/twrp211.img

and it doesnt work, it says

usage: flash_image partition file.img
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
Flash it through goo manager as described in my post above, works every time
[TouchPad Development] mafu6:
I know this but i am having problems with my internet conncection and goo manager just wondered if their was a way to do it vie the TE? :)
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
If you have the file and goo manager already on your TouchPad then you can select flash roms and tap add zip from another location and install from there, don't know if that will help.
[TouchPad Development] mafu6:
Its not a zip file so it wont insall that way... i hope my internet works soon to get this sorted i'd much rather have a touchscreen recovery than a vol button one. i downloaded a few ROMs to flash before it went down so i just wanted to try them out.
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
Oops sorry thought it was the zip file you had downloaded
[TouchPad Development] mafu6:
Sorted it now my internet came back up and i re-installed goo manager and it worked!
[TouchPad Development] BruteSource:
When I try to use goo manager it can't find anything. Think it thinks my device is something else. I changed my device to touchpad in build. Prop cause it was something else. Still doesn't work. How can I change what device it thinks I have?
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
Make sure the goo server isn't down first because I had that one before and also if you flash the latest version of your chosen rom on top of your current rom it will reset the build prop and goo manager should work fine

[TouchPad Development] Zombie138:
Which one would I chose or look under for OaTs rom?
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
This is a recovery, it doesn't matter what rom you're on. Just download the zip file, and flash it in CWM. Then, you'll have TWRP.

~E.R.A.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
I had already done some searching before I asked the question.

At least it sounds like it may be possible, so will continue looking now as it may not be a dead end road.

Update:

Maybe not possible, unless the last issue below has been fixed

Known Issues:

Zip files that install more data than free space is available will crash or hang recovery (AOSP issue)

No external sdcard support

No reboot to recovery

CWM backups are not compatible - please make a fresh backup in TWRP as soon as you have flashed it

PS - I installed it and tried this -

"But TWRP is supposed to. I've done it using mine, but I had to move my backup files from CWM to the TWRP folder to be recognized."

I moved one over and restore started up then immediately said Successful! and RESTORE COMPLETED ON 0 SECONDS so did not actually do anything. A poster on RootzWiKi said he had done so?

I am was on CM9 6-19 nightly and updated 6-20 after I made a backup of 6-19. I then tried restoring that and it worked fine.
[TouchPad Development] Keland44:

[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
I don't know who fed you that info.

No, you can't restore CWM backups in Twrp. We use different methods.

THe proper action is to flash CWM, restore your backup, install Goo Manger and then install twrp and backup with twrp.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
I had searched as you had advised (wish you had said No you can't earlier), and a number of posts (other XDA forums and over on RootxWiKI Forum) had said you can.

I fooled with the CWM recovery files and managed to blow up my installation - just getting it all back up - with your Recovery.
[TouchPad Development] ViViDboarder:
You might be able to restore certain partitions (data I think DON'T QUOTE ME), but I think most of ours are done with 'dd' as to preserve formatting rather than just a 'cp' of the files. This could be wrong though now as a lot has changed since I was last writing code for twrp. Been too busy with other things lately.
[TouchPad Development] Gibbage:
Stuck

Im in a little bit of panic here, and hope someone can help. Running TWRP 2.0.0 and I recently upgraded my Cyanogen 9A to AOKP and everything worked well. I also just flashed Gapps and that worked. Then I went and tried to flash a Kernel (Bricked-Kernel) and didnt see that it was old. On the flash screen I got E:Cannot load volume /misc! E:Unable to open zip file. and its STUCK.

I tried a LONG LONG power button press, and nothing. Tried a combo of buttons, nothing. tounch screen is not responding. The candy cane is still animating, and clock/battery level is still working, but its been 15 mins and nothing has happened (other then the battery running down and clock advancing).

Any help with this? Its not like I had a hard reset or battery access. Do I just let it drain the battery?

**EDIT**

Found it. Holding POWER and HOME BOTTON worked to shut things down. Does 2.1.0 have some sort of timeout on reading the zip file?
