I am very happy it works great for you 2 but please understand that it doesn't help me at all. Bugs are not always experienced by all users. I modify my zips often before flashing them and I never have issues with CWM touch flashing anything. I don't like clockwork and would like to use TWRP but it simply isn't as fully functional as CWM yet. I still support this project but I wish the Dev would drop in and maybe give a clue to the status of an update or at least admit there is not going to be anymore dev work done for the Verizon version anymore. Until this works 100% of the time I can't trust it. I deem my Recovery to be too important to risk.

How does one go back to CWR if they are on TWRP..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbh369:
Actually, our devices, they are the same directory, along with /mnt/sdcard, /storage/emulated. /data/media is the real directory, others are symlinks. /data is the emmc. But wipes and backups explicitly ignore /data/media

I just did a clean flash of Slim 8.2 on wife's G-Nexus (Toro), tried to do a nandroid with TWRP , but when I slide the button to backup it immediately goes back to the menu screen. I scanned the last_log file but don't know what to look for. I've been using 2.7.0.0, just updated to 2.8.0.1 but same problem. It flashed fine, the only thing I did just before this was switch to ART runtime. Any help? TIA...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfick3:
I noticed that the OP has been updated to reflect 3.0, but I can't seem to find the actual download download for 3.0. If I go to the official web site, I can only find 2.8.7.0. Thanks a bunch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
The build for our devices is failing currently. Looks like we may have to wait a bit for TWRP 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
FWIW, I have TWRP 3.0.0 built and working on my toro (on toroplus too). It seems to work pretty well for the most part. Backup and restore seems fine. Flashing basic ROMs seems fine as well, though something about the opengapps scripts is taking a very very long time - both when flashing gapps and when dirty-flashing ROM updates (restoring previously installed gapps).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rxstereo:
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4 yesterday so I went ahead and downloaded twrp in order to backup my device, but, after download when I went into reboot mode, I couldn't find the "backup /recover" option so I had to exit. Tried it two-three times to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I already have both systemsu and systemsu-me, titanium backup, twrp manager off playstore and quickboot, installed.

Also the supersu keeps notifying me that I need to update the binary but I have no idea what that even means. It displays a bunch of codes so should I just press anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irish_711:
Why is OP updated to TWRP 3.0 when there is no TWRP 3.0 for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
The official build is broken at the moment. I can post an unofficial build later tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Here's an unofficial build for toro:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330025700

As I said earlier, the open gapps updater script takes forever, so don't be alarmed if you flash a ROM update and it looks like it gets stuck. It will finish successfully, just give it time. (Give it time, as in, the usual one minute to flash the ROM and about ten minutes to figure out that, "Hey, yeah, I did those gapps right after all!")

The terminal emulator is WAY COOL! Arrow keys and tab auto-complete right in recovery. Makes me want to run in recovery all the time - all I need yet is a way to answer phone calls in recovery, it'll be golden...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ransom147:
I went on a wild goose chase looking for this recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PythonNut:
Does this recovery support f2fs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
The unofficial build does, though I think there may be issues with restoring large backups to f2fs in TWRP 3.0. Have a look in the Maguro thread for more info.

TWRP has supported f2fs for some time, but the Galaxy Nexus kernel sources used for the official TWRP builds have not been updated in a while, so the kernel in the official builds does not support f2fs. My unofficial build was build with omap4-aosp kernel sources, so f2fs works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PythonNut:
Thanks for taking the time to explain the current situation. (And for posting your unofficial build to begin with.) I appreciate the time you devs take to help us normal mortals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AceNJ:
the latest available officially for toro is still 2.8.7.0 correct?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrHencky:
Hello all,

I just dusted off the old nexus was running CM official(11?) with CWM, wanted to try out something news so grabed CM13 and latest twrp and older twrp(2.1.2) as it has a zip. Flashed the TWRP 2.1.2 recover in CWM, rebooted into twrp, cant flash new TWRP 3 img file it seems. And cant flash my cm13 rom without error.

Is my only option to get a older 4.1-4.4 rom flashed and then adb over the newer version of TWRP?

I seems like ADB kind when in TWRP 2.1.2 recover as it takes the reboot bootload command but it always states waiting for device when i issue a fastboot command after rebooting to the bootloader...

any ideas for how to get TWRP updated easily? (then i can flash cm13 and all that fun stuff)

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
If you're experiencing "bugs" in unique situations where you're modifying the flashable ZIP or with a specific ROM, my suggestion would be to provide as much specific detail as possible. I do not think calling something out as being abandoned or making vague declarations of buggyness will help.

That said, I have no inside info on how much attention this thread gets from the dev... my comments are made in a general sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Flash it in fastboot, or use ROM Manager to install it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid316:
Sweet thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
This recovery is epic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
It will help those that do the same as I which is not rare or unique. Only rare and unique to those that don't know how.

The fact still remains there never was support for this recovery by the OP Dev = abandonware
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
Well to determine fact one needs to research.....

If you go to the OP , at the bottom is a link to freenode chat and I just went in to see the level of support that's offered and there's about 50 people in there as I type including the dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Twrp is far from being abandoned. It's arguably the best recovery out right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
So because there is a link to get support the Dev has no reason to ever post in the thread he created and we don't even deserve the respect of a reply within his own thread? I can't say I have encountered any other thread here at XDA handled in such a way.

Please understand my question that started this was hoping for info about an update almost a month ago. I is not just modified zips it is also most of the extras that some Dev include that have to flashed after first boot. Apps that can be flashed that are not downloadable. These same files are fully flashable on other Nexi that friends of mine have running TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
give me an example of something that fails for you and I'll try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lost Dog:
Has anyone tried to restore from a backup with a data partition greater than 2GB? When I try it fails (well, no indication it fails until the reboot). It appears it ignores everything past the 2GB part of the file which leads to an incomplete data restore.

If I select the "use compression" option it makes my 2.2GB /data to ~1.6GB and it restores fine.

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.

Right there in the first post. I just seen this thread, and read that. Did you even try the chat? I could see you "expecting" some response for your issues if this was their job.... Now i see what some people are saying about the people here lately... Makes me not want to come back here already. Kids these days... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
I don't really expect support through this thread when the Dev has a site devoted to supporting their work but I do expect if they are going to use this platform in hopes of generating more end users then they should atleast come by and drop alittle "How ya doin" once a month. That is not too much to ask then I would feel welcomed to the other site and not like a fish on a hook caught by a random thread tossed out by some fly-by-night operation. So I wait till the thread is tended to before following any links at all. Links can be harmful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
This is a release thread. Not a meet and greet. You're certainly entitled to hold whatever expectations and opinions you want, but I personally feel like you're making a big deal out of nothing. If you don't like the setup of their "market" presence, then ok... don't support them. If you don't trust their product or you find it unreliable, then ok... don't use it.

It's clearly a matter of personal preference and I cannot imagine they will change their habits and start making a schedule of posts in every thread for every variation of every device they support.

Good luck to you, whatever your choice.

Maintaining a recovery is not the same as maintaining a ROM. TWRP is now available on over 50 devices of which I "directly" support about 30. That's 30 threads on this forum alone. (Plus I post on at least one other forum.) I simply cannot keep up with them all and still have any time to code new features like the upcoming on screen keyboard. If you have a serious issue & don't get an answer here then you will just have to PM me, use the contact us on our website, or swing by the IRC channel & hope that someone is around.

Go to settings and click install recovery script or whatever. It is very silly to flash this when you can do it through Goo manager in one click
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreitzell78:
There are 2 twrp 2.2.0 listed in goo manager. Does it matter which one? One ends with t989 and the other with i727. Just want to be sure, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You want to get the one with 'toro' in the file name. The two you listed are for the incorrect device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Thanks for the update. This was a great recovery even before the multipart backups, keyboard support, and encrypted userdata support.

It makes taking nandroids a pleasure rather than a chore: I can flash the recovery, boot to recovery, take complete backup, and boot back into Android fast enough that I am not missing any phone calls. Once Android is loaded, foldersync makes it easy to copy the nadroids off-device in the background.

Incidentally, to all the users looking for recovery-flashable zipfiles, there are other convenient ways to get this recovery installed:

adb boot openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-toro.img

adb flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-toro.img

use GooManager

dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-toro.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery

Updated to 2.2.2.0 and now includes USB OTG support!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lignicolos:
These newer versions seem to have removed the ability to use ADB while in recovery. That last version that worked with ADB was 2.1.2. Has this been removed from the 2.2+ versions of TWRP. I really liked having the ability to use a shell to manipulate files on the internal storage. It also was cool to have the ability to push files to the storage in case something went wrong. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
ADB works, but Windows is really picky about its device drivers. You'll have to force install the drivers ... or use Linux ;)

I assure you that ADB works on the GNex in TWRP though. I use it all the time for testing purposes.

Flashable zip

http://db.tt/Rig9JqGQ

WHATCHOO TALKING BOUT WILLIS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lignicolos:
The current driver i'm using allows ADB to work just fine in TWRP version 2.1.2 (and earlier) and CWM. If I update to 2.2.2.0 then the phone is still recognized properly by the computer, but ADB is unable to see the device. Obviously the phone is detected by ADB while Android is running on the phone. The problem for me in this case seems to be TWRP. I'm not sure what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
Hate to repeat myself, but...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
Just to confirm I just tested adb while in recovery (and using 2.2.2) and it worked fine. No issues at all. I am however using Linux (gave up on Windows when Vista came out).

Bottom line though is that adb does work with the new twrp. It's a Windows problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j0hnnyth3f0x:
So just to idiot-proof the flashable .zip, I just reboot to my cwm recovery and flash the .zip right?

I was kinda excited about this, till it didn't work properly. Tried installing AOKP build 1 from my 64GB FAT32 formatted flash drive a 3 times. First time it rebooted recovery and I couldn't get back to my flash drive to try again without pulling the battery, then going into recovery again. Second time it just failed. And the third time it did what it did the first time.

Anyone have a copy of the last version?

Edit: Never mind I found it. Thanks.

Who cares what i used? If it's notgoing to work on windows plus prevent me from being able to reroot my phone or install recovery it should damn well say so.

But glad you find it funny

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lignicolos:
Well, if it's not working in Windows for myself as well as others then it's certainly a problem. Especially considering that previous versions of the recovery did work correctly with Windows. I really like TWRP over the other choices but I like having the ADB access more. I prefer Widows to Linux much, much more than I prefer TWRP to its alternatives.

My choices are to keep using an old version, switch recoveries, or change my computer operating system. I'm certainly going to choose the option that requires the least amount of effort. I was just posting to let the developers know in case they were unaware that things were not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I don't even have recovery anymore! I do not have super user anymore. I can no longer access fastboot anymore. All because i restored from within this twrp. Actually to be quite honest, because i think it may actually have mounted something because it's like my phone is mounting like i have stick mount and otg.

And i hate windows. That it the system used by the college and therefore must use it for compatibility with the servers and classes i have to take.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Went back to touch cwm and now my phone is detected by adb and fast boot. Sad I was enjoying twrp.

Edit: Actually if you let the device sit long enough it will be recognized by adb I also verified it recognized in fast boot mode also.

ADB wasn't working with the latest TWRP for me either.. did an adb kill-server and adb start-server and the device was recognized immediately... running windows 7 btw :)

First off I love this ROM! I think I used this recovery back with the droid incredible days (if it was the same recovery I didn't care for it then) but WOW this is amazing!

I can mount and unmount the drive in Android but in recovery nothing or it will mount and say 0 free space anyone get this to work?
