No problem on the Signature - go for it -

Regarding CWM ToUCH - I don't knwo enough to say one way or the other - I installed CWM first - and then installed TOUCH thru Rom Manager - but then I fast boot flashed the TWRP recovery - and I think I am going to stay with TWRP - lots more options - better UI - seems like the right way to go -

So - having said that - once you are rooted - I know you can fastboot flash the TWRP recovery to your phone before you do the CWM - and it is touch screen much like CWM Touch- it just looks a lot nicer and is easier to use.

Good luck -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scotbotmosh:
I am assuming this will work with ROM Manager, is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Are you asking about TWRP ? I know you can boot into TWRP recovery from ROM Manager - I don't know if you can run backup or restore, I don't think you can -TWRP recover is a different file type than CWM Nandroids - but I don't know enough about ti say..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Goo Manager is to TWRP what ROM Manager is to CWM.

i have a serious problem. every time i try to restore my nandroid backup, it backs it up instead

edit: update to 2.1.2 fixed it

Sorry at work. Error 7. Getprop- ro

prop failed, ro board prop fail, do device prop fail . Error 7

No access to PC right now or fast boot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paleryder:
Thanks this has an awesome user interface. After I fast boot flashed it I was unable to create a back up Until I booted the ROM . I let it boot then went right into recovery and easily created a backup. Perhaps it is an initial mount issue or for the peeps trying to restore maybe you didn't actually create a back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Very nice recovery. Update looks great, and backups are FAST!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Naming Backups?

I am cuious if there is a manager or ap that I can run that allows me to manage the backups I make with TWRP?

One nice feature about ROM MAnager and CWM is that you can name the backups you create - which makes it easier to keep track of which back ups belong to which roms - Is there anything like this now?

I am also curiious if there is a way to mount the Internal SD Card while you are in TWRP Recovery? This can be helpful too - for copying files to the phone while you are in recovery - or is my only option to "push" files thru with ADB?

Don't take this wrong - I really like what I have seen so far in using TWRP - the UI is great - the optoins are great - I thought having these options would help make it even better -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
Need help asap not sure if I'm using this wrong. I took a back up earlier today and I flashed some sms zip that was themed, and now my txt doaent work, so I boot back into twrp to restore and every time I go to restore it says slide to restore and when I do that it just creates another back up. Plz help

SD Card Locked on Folder in TWRP

I tried to flash a ROM today and when I booted into recovery and went to install - it opened in a folder that was not the main folder - but instead was a subfolder that did not have the files I needed to flash. When I tried to move out of that folder and go into the correct one, I couldn't do it - it seemed like it was 'locked' on that folder.

I had flashed a kernel update prevously ((Franco) using Franco's Ap - which allows you to download a kernel and "auto flash" - and when I later opened TWRP - I was in the FRANCO Folder and couldn't get out. I assume this has to do with my doing that AUTO Flash - but I wonder is there anything else I could have done to get out of that folder?

I ended up redoing a Fastboot Flash of TWRP Recovery to reinstall it - and I won't use the auto flash option again - but I wonder if there are any other options if that does happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Flash Failures

I am having more issues with TWRP - and hoped you had some help or suggestions -

I flashed the latest CM9 release today and wanted to flash two additional files. sometime after I flased the original CM9 rom, I booted into recovery and attempted to flash - ICS Reloaded - the flash failed. I then tried to flash Franko Kernel Milestone 3 - that flash also failed.

I had successfully flashed both files previously on other roms.

I didnt know what to do - so I reflashed CWM TOUCH and tried to flash both files and had no problems at all.

I really like TWRP - and prefer it over CWM for the ease of use - the UI is much better - the various options and the 'touch experience' -- all are better than CWM - but I am a flashing fool - and I can't struggle with flash failures if I know there is nothing wrong with the file I am trying to flash. So I am back on CWM Touch for now - trying to figure out how I can recover TWRP back ups I made ... that's my problem - but I am hoping you have a suggestion or fix for the problem I am having so I can return to TWRP -

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spf2722:
Tried flashing update in CWM, got an abort failure, error 7. Has anyone seen this? I am just rooted at the moment running stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
Sounds to me like maybe the Sprint version isn't quite there yet...

No issues for me using the normal Toro/VZW version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
If you push the .img via fastboot it will work perfectly. Qbking77 has a video if you aren't familiar.

~Sent from my Trinity powered Galaxy Nexus~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
It means you're trying to use CWM for the VZW Gnex instead of for Sprint. The updater script is looking for Toroplus but since you've got the wrong recovery it's finding Toro and failing. Either update your CWM, or flash the .img with fast boot, or remove the assert check from the updater zip.

TWRP works perfectly for the Sprint Gnex and has since they released it the very first day the S'G'Nex was available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I have been having problems with TWRP on SPrint GNX - I had to reinstall CWM Touch -

Often when tryign to flash an update or kernal or theme - The flash fails for no apparent reasons - these are files I had flashed previously with no problem - and since instlaling CWM files I can flash now with no problem.

ALso - after doing an auto flash of the Franco Kernel update, When I went into TWRP Recovery to flash a different file _- TWRP Opened insdie the Franco Download file and not in the general "SD CARD FILE" and I colud not move out of the FRANCO FIle - nothing I did colud get TWRP to go up or out of the folder I was in -

I am back on CWM for now and not having any issues - I hope thse problems can be addressed as I would prefer to use TWRP - I do not believe it was user error - but I have been wrong before - lol -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Mocsab, have you tried uninstalling the franco app and see if twrp starts working again? Could be his auto installer app isn't quite ready for the sprint phone? Just wondering?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spf2722:
Does anyone have a copy of the flash able cwm toroplus zip file. I guess I don't have the sprint cwm, I used the nexus toolkit to install clockwork, I must have messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Yes - I uninstalled Franco App completly - then tried flashing several files- one was a kernel flash - the other was ICS reloaded - both should have been able to be flashed - I had flashed both previously on a similar rom - both flashes failed.

After going back to CWM I tried to flash both files again - and they both flashed without an issue.

I can see how Franco might have been an issue with the way I got locked into that Franco Folder - but I fail to see how it could have caused unrelated files to fail when I tried to flash them? I don't enough to say one way or the other - but I would like to get to the bottom of this - I really want to use TWRP - but don't feel I can until I know this won't be a problem for me - suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwan:
Are the backups made through TWRP accessible by CWM recovery?

Reason I ask is that I had to flash CWM recovery in order to flash "official" AOKP rom.

Just wanted to know whether I would have to fastboot twrp again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You can only restore a backup from the same "exact" recovery. You will get an error msg if you try to restore a backup from another type of recovery. Even cwm touch to cwm.. It'll give you an error... Twrp will flash anything.. I've been through the list. Lol. :D If you wanna unroot you can just see the Odin forum for Toroplus Gnex or push the same cwm you had and restore then push twrp and flash su zip again... Only takes a few minutes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Any updates on any of this? Curious if anyone knows why I might be having flash failures and what if anything can be done about it? Or am I SOL?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I had an issue flashing things when I did a full wipe once... Beyond that everything flashes fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Idk if this is what happened to you, but I had issues at first too (on release date) and I pushed twrp again, but I used the twrp.img off ACS website here: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?5250-Sprint-Galaxy-Nexus-Root-files and everything worked perfectly afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paleryder:
I remember the ability to, when creating a backup, the ability to tick a box and backup your efs file. I do not see that on this TWRPToroplus . Can someone please verify this. I'm not sure if I am remembering this from my NS4G our IF it was a different version of TWRP for our GNex ToroPlus thanks

I'm on the new 2.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
For flashing ROMs using this recovery, do I need to wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system? Or what? Also, none of these will delete the virtual SD right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coycaine:
Factory reset, then wipe dalvik cache. Wiping cache is redundant but I do it every time. No need to wipe system. And no, it will not wipe anything from the sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
what are planning on flashing? If cm9 or aokp.... you'll need clockwork mod. Just a little heads up if your a beginner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
I come from the Evo where I use Amon Ra recovery. And I flashed Paranoid Android Hybrid ROM. Why do I need CWM for those ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Has to do with the way it searches the assert with twrp it displays toroplus but the rom is looking for torospr. I think... don't quote me on it.

I came from the epic so all this is new to me too but jot unfamiliar since in pretty good with commands :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnKuczek:
I'm flash winner's CM9 kang regularly, and have been using this recovery since it came out without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Kang is not cm9 he must of modded his installer script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
If changing ROMs you really should format system also. It only takes a second and many issues have been cleared up by taking that tiny extra step. Wiping dalvik is also redundant as a factory reset wipes it already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnKuczek:
1) winner00's op for his thread makes no mention of any installer script mods.

2) I just DL'ed the 5/10 official nightly with the goo.im app, factory reset, and installed it and gapps using TWRP. booted just fine into CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coycaine:
Doesn't the factory reset take care of system as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
No. It wipes /data and /cache (also sd-ext but we have no need of that with our MTP devices). The dalvik cache is stored in /data so is wiped during factory reset. If factory reset formatted /system you'd be left without an OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coycaine:
Thank you sir!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Ok after reading every post in this thread, I am getting mixed answers onto this

1. Will this recovery flash any rom I want?

2. Will CWR touch let me flash any rom?

Also:

So before flashing a rom, factory reset, then format system? Then flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paleryder:
Can someone go into recovery and hit backup, then tell me if they have the option to backup efs file (data, system and such will already be checked) you won't create a backup just by doing this.

If your installing a new ROM

Wipe cache, dalvik, and do a factory reset.

If your flashing another nightly, same ROM wipe cache and dalvik then flash.

TWRP will work with any ROM at this point.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
A few posts above mine says that formating the system is a good extra step so you have less problems? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
... odd I was finding you HAD to use cwmt recovery otherwise it would give you an error maybe that's just aokp...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coycaine:
I had to modify the updater script to get PoolParty to flash wth TWRP. I would assume the fix from that thread would work on most any ROM that won't flash via TWRP. http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showt...M-4-0-4-IMM76D-Sprint-Pool-Party-V-5-ICS-BETA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbgrp:
I use twrp exclusively since day one. Flagged anything I want no issues.

And I only wipe if changing to a new ROM completely. Nighties I just flash over the day befores. No dalvik wipe no problems. People IMO are too wipe happy and I feel it causes problems. Why wipe unless an issue comes up....ot there's a big change between nightlies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Definitely the best recovery I've ever used!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcusva79:
Dumb question is there a way to connect phone and edit folders via recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
There's a file manager already included within TWRP. If you want to connect to your computer from recovery I don't know of any way to do that. Would be a nice feature I think. adb sees the phone, but has no permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
Has there been any progress on the USB storage mount in this recovery. CWM recovery does not support it and this one does not have it either. We used to have it on the Nexus S.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
I'm not sure about that. You'd have to change the name and redo the md5 files but after that it may be possible. Underneath both use tar files (with twrp having an option to compress creating what is actually a tar.gz file)

Without some type of manipulation it's definitely not possible. I've been meaning to try renaming and using the other recovery, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Mostly. But you want the Toroplus version. ROMs that have an assert check in the script and that are intended for Toroplus will fail if you try to flash with Toro's recovery.

@ John, I did have trounie on my NS4G but not this one. You owe it to yourself to at least try it out. Flash it a couple of times if needed. It is also working on my Acer A100 flawlessly.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
doubt there are any scripts, but you could always restore a nandroid, fastboot TWRP, make a new nandroid, rinse, wash, repeat until all your backups are converted. Pain in the ass method but seems like it would do the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I don't know of any scripts for that but if you have the time you could always restore your CWM backup, flash TWRP, backup with TWRP, erase CWM backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcusva79:
Thats is what I did :)

Tried wiping data and I got wiped failed. That normal? Interenal storage is the internal memory right? Do not want to erase that.

Maybe I'm retarded but I have installed 2.2 twice and the wipe battle stats option is completely gone. Am I doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
No, I've never had that happen. If it happens again then copy the recovery log to SD (I think it is in advanced options) and post it here or come visit #TWRP in IRC on Freenode.

Battery stats? If the option was removed then good riddance, it's been proven that the option does nothing at all. It has merely a placebo effect.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shoobiedoobiiwhompwop:
Samsung's memory cards were updated late Wednesday with large-scale production one of the world's fastest microSD cards. The new 16GB microSDHC card runs at the same UHS-1 (Ultra High Speed-1) spec normally used for the latest full-size SD cards, giving it performance that would previously have been reserved for pro memory for DSLRs and video cameras. Sequential read speeds peak at about 80MB per second, or roughly four times the 21MB of regular microSD cards.

The storage is ostensibly meant for LTE-capable smartphones and tablets, where flash memory speed could bottleneck the connection. It should nonetheless be useful for cameras that take microSD storage and support UHS-1. Samsung reached the density through a combination of its more recent 20-nanometer manufacturing process to build 64-gigabit (8GB) chip layers as well as a toggle DDR2 interface that can saturate the newly available bandwidth.

Release schedules and prices weren't given out, although mass production usually precedes a launch within a few months or less.
