Would be nice if the flashable worked to begin with... still getting installation errors. So I'm just having earthbound create a kernel with it built in...but I'm thinking he's making his own touch type recovery.ssshhhh don't tell a soul :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thanks dees_troy. Awesome recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
THNX for making this happen for us Dees_Troy!..........been using TWRP from marcusant's Nyan4.2 w/out incident: backup, restore it all works great.

*edit: BTW, nandroid restore was fast + perfect;.......now, going forward, whenever I need to use Temp-CMBoot-To-FC09Stock in order to Update Profile/PRL/calibrate sensor, or else [II] Temp-CMBoot-To-BML if ever I need to update a modem delta zip from temporary bml stock.......

[*] I can flash a CM9 or AOKP ROM, or else a kernel w/ CM in order to return to CWM5 recovery + be able to run these temp-CM's, or restore past CWM nandroids ...................additionally, confirmed: TWRP recovery working fine on AOKP_build34 + CM9beta3-pre3 version.

Im not sure if kernel atarashi comes with this baked in but today i went into recovery for the first time since yesterday and i had twrp installed... and i dont even have the flashable on my sdcard........
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yep marcusant baked it into his newest kernel... always read at least the op before just downloading and flashing... perfect example of why...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Somebody have the zip? I am unable to get it to work through goomanager =[
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Nope........however, here's a way to acquire it:

Whichever ROM you're on --CM9/AOKP, some other mtd's-- just flash Nyan4.2..........from ROM, power off to TWRPrecovery, reflash your ROM.......TWRP allows you to select whether to 'inject TWRP direct' to ROM you're flashing............reboot to system, your ROM now has TWRP recovery (again but past kernel, NOT Nyan).................backup (extract fr backup? Or else enjoy your ROM w/ TWRP.)

Goomanager's not DL'ing to sd card for some reason, instead starts to install, then errors out........?!?!

.........sent from today's android = 4.0.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Open Goomanager

Browse All Files, then Search, and search "openrecovery-twrp-2.1.2-epicmtd-signed.zip" or just search "twrp" and look for the one with epicmtd in it. Click download, and when its done, it'll automatically install(well it did for me anyways). Then, after it boots, reboot to recovery to mess around with it :-)

Wondering if this works when just flashing a kernel... like can I flash nyan then inject twrp when I flash my samurai kernel back over?

Edit : success... flashed that horride nyan kernel.. booting into twrp and injected it into my samurai :p... sorry I don't like that nyan stuff.. bite me.

run_program("/tmp/bml_over_mtd.sh", "boot", "72", "reservoir", "2004", "/tmp/boot-twrp.img"));

Our reservoir block is not 2004, it is 4012 due to the space we have in the OneNAND chip which is 1 GB. You could be putting bad blocks in the wrong place and if the kernel partition has bad block, bootloader will look in the reservoir partition where all the kernel blocks is relocated.

Please make this change so we can insure all epic is compatible.

Yeah, that. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. It got stuck at the screen with the android and the triangle exclamation point thing and I pulled the battery. Maybe it was still flashing the recovery?

Softbrick from AOKP_Milestone5: from GooManager, downloaded 'openrecovery-twrp-2.1.2-epicmtd-signed.zip', DL went straight into install then a status 7 error from within CWM5.5.0.4.......from reboot to system: softbrick on Samsung Logo :eek:................errored out on attempts this past friday 04/27, but was able to reboot back to system.............THNX to Odin + ShadowKernel-EL30-v2.0.tar.md5 am quickly back Up + Running :p:cool:;)

.......yeah, careful guys!

*edit: reverting back to flashing Nyan4.2 (w/ TWRP) as this has been solid on AOKP + CM9beta3-pre3 since friday 04/27........NO issues whatsoever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Maybe a new change broke it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I did say that it was an alpha and that's mostly because of the injection installation method. I'll have to do some testing and looking at some of the other kernels and see if they are packaged the same.
[Epic 4G Android Development] matrixzone5:
Haha i read most of it :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Was running stock AOKP_Milestone5/gapps0429............Don't know what broke it, TWRP's been running fine since you released Nyan4.2; just has not been responsive to direct DL from goomanager for me (elsewhere, Z states to have successfully installed from goomanager directly).............once my DL from goomanager completed, Install began automatically fr CWM5.5.0.4...........culminatiing w/ this error messsage:

E: Error in /sdcard/goomanager/openrecovery-twrp-2.1.2-epicmtd-signed.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.

Looked different from error messages of Friday 04/27.........well here's a good solid argument for keeping backups in your mSD card: after I ODIN'd FC09 --update Profile + PRL-- then ODIN'd ShadowKernel (getting rooted recovery), flashed CM9beta3-pre3 establishing MTD...........then went in + restored my most recent Nandroid so total downtime from softbrick was insignificant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Yeah, yesterday, I downloaded it from the Goo manager app(I searched the app for it) downloaded, and when it was done, it rebooted, installed, and booted back into the system.

I'm on CM9 prebeta3 I believe...stock kernel.

I guess its possible they've changed something. I'll upload my zip for ya, and you can see if that works(just have Odin and shadow kernel ready lolol) if you want. Well, anyone can for that matter lol

This is great! No more running up and down menus to get what I need. Works great on aokp m5.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tydynrain:
This recovery is elegant and intuitive, and it works! I can't believe it's only in alpha testing so far. I can't wait for future developments! Is there any possibility of having it backup second partitions too? I ask because that is the one feature that I've dearly missed since moving over to MTD, since I link all my apps to the ext4 partition on my SD card. Thanks soooo much for all your efforts and creativity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I absolutely love this recovery. Has been flawless for me on aokp and gingerbread. I flash so much that my volume rocker and side power and camera buttons were getting worn out:rolleyes: This is the greatest thing I've seen in along time. Great job team win:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
So, I guess I'm among the few that trying to flash this recovery from goomanager caused a soft-bricked. Just had to heimdall (odin never worked properly on my work pc) back to FC09 and then work my way back to CM9 beta 3 pre3. Wouldn't the correct zImage and recovery.bin save all the work of having to go all the way back to stock if people soft-bricked from this recovery? Anybody have those 2 files available to host somewhere and maybe save the next person with issues some time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Hmm... what platform did you flash it from? If your on ics just flash nyan 4.2 and reflash your rom or kernel and have it inject twrp into the boot.img. that's what I did with my samurai kernel. I haven't had success flashing the zip from goomanager I'm glad it didn't flash actually I don't like unbricking my phone =].
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
Couldn't flash anything as it would just sit at the samsung boot screen, no recovery, could only get into download mode. I didn't know that goomanager was going to automatically reboot and try to flash it, or i wouldn't have used it. I just thought it was a means to facilitate the download. I tried it from CM9 beta 3 pre3.

[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
It *should* work on it, but the only way to know is to flash it and find out. Worst case scenario, you have to Odin another MTD kernel to get back up and running.

~E.R.A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
depends on how bad it "bricks" your phone.. in my case there was no option but to odin/heimdall back to stock and start over. yes, i tried just flashing a MTD kernel/recovery and still got nowhere. If you're lucky enough and still have CWM that works after a failed flash, then yes, you can just flash a MTD/CWM kernel and boot right back up.. I'm still waiting/hoping that someone will come forward with odin/heimdall versions of the stock CM9 zImage and recovery.bin for those of us that aren't/weren't so lucky with the goomanager flash of this...

So I am currently on the CM10 Kang. I did a backup in TWRP a few days ago, installed another ROM, and was not happy with it. I decided to do a wipe of everything and restore of the TWRP backup I did. It went fine, but when my phone rebooted, I find that much of the data has not been restored. I am now running a full restore of apps and data from Titanium Backup, but I thought the whole point of doing a backup in TWRP was that you could run a full restore from it. Always worked in CWM. Is this backup supposed to work this way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Supposed to, yes, but the only version we have is an alpha build - bugs are to be expected. It's a great concept, but it seems like no one has been working on updates for our device
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
I think this happened because the size of partition on cm10 was different from previous rom.

I found that restore it twice works fine (full restore including boot, recovery etc)

I guess when injected to non cm10 boot.img it will give the wrong size when formating

I just tried flashing the 1.99 PA build, and failed, status 7. So I went to the nyan kernel thread for marcusants restore cwm zip, downloaded it, then tried flashing it. same error. I tried each flash at least 6 times, same result every time. Anybody know whats up with that?

i was same problem like you, i can't get into recovery, and now i got into TWRP :)

fist you have make a TWRP nandroid backup far before your problem

1. odin the CWM

2.flash a ROM(PA1.98 or PA1.99 or CM10)

3. reboot to recovery, and it's CWM 6

4.Flash the 2.2.2.1 TWRP file

7.reboot recovery

8. TWRP !! :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Just wanna know if this is universally compatible with CM10 and AOKP-JB, they use a separate partition table and have to use a modified version of CWM. Is TWRP compatible with that? (i.e. Do I still have to switch version of recovery when I switch between JB and else?)

And also I've got a lot of backups in CWM format and is there a way to restore them without hassle (i.e. restore backup from CWM -> inject TWRP -> re-backup in TWRP -> flash CWM to restore another backup)?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I didn't mean BML. You know (or you don't) that CM10 requires a different MTD partition size so its CWM recovery is different in order to write MTD in that size allocation. I don't know if TWRP is compatible with this (i.e. Can it successfully flash CM10 from CM7/9, and can it nandroid backup CM10 properly)

Plus my question above on switching backups from CWM to TWRP, I don't want to spend hours doing that so can anyone point out an alternative way (e.g. simply replacing recovery.img in CWM nandroid?)...

Sent from Nokia N900 w/ Android 2.3.7
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
To answer your question, its compatible with any mtd rom. The kernel has a partition map which tells the device how much space to allocate to each partition, and that is what changed. The recovery has not changed and ics and jb recoveries are cross compatible. This zip injects the recovery into the boot.img so it doesn't change anything in the kernel, but adds the twrp recovery to the boot image.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Is that the case? Every time switching between a GB/ICS and a JB, when I open the JB zip for flash, it behaves like when I'm switching from BML to MTD (i.e. "Checking BML/MTD..." -> reboot recovery before flashing), which should indicate a different type of recovery. Switching between GB/ICS never produces that, AND directly recovering JB from a GB/ICS recovery (after wipe, of course) caused the device to stop at "Galaxy S/CyanogenMod" screen (vice versa). I now understand that I can inject TWRP into whatever ROM as long as it's MTD (you say it will adapt to current partitioning) BUT is it capable of directly switching between the 2 different MTD formats? I mean, e.g., I have CM10 with TWRP and can I directly wipe and restore a GB/ICS nandroid without flashing the original zip?

And one more time, any easier way to switch all my existing CWM nandroid to TWRP?

Thanks for ya patience, x :)
