I updated the OP for TWRP (second post). Please note that the new TWRP 2.3.0.0 is NOT restoring backups properly--it seems to factory reset your backups upon reboot (asking you to sign back into your Google account and all your apps are gone). But, your backups made with 2.3.0.0 are still good and can be restored with 2.2.2.0. So, I attached TWRP 2.2.2.0 to the second post. Just download and rename to recovery.img and follow instructions. Again, make sure you save it to the root directory of your internal sd card and enter the command precisely to avoid bricking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeench:
why can i not upgrade my recovery through rom manager? whats the point of me even having rom manager if i dont have the latest updates and nothing in there download is worth it to me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:
hey PorchSong, for some reason my TWRP won't let me install any zip anymore. it just say "simulating actions" then "updating partition details" but doesn't do anything i tried v2.2.0.0 and v2.3.1.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DevilDogg:
Upgraded my cwm version with this method and now my phone is bricked, wont boot, and freezes when i boot into recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bounce8:
SaMe here. Followed the instructions and hard bricked my phone. I don't even get the Samsung logo... Stinks bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
This worked fine for TWRP newest version. No idea what you guys are doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] achensherd:
I was about to do what you did (moving the recovery.img to /sdcard), but instead edited the command in the OP reflecting the fact that the "internal SD" in my S2 is named "emmc" like so:

dd if=/emmc/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

Worked like a charm. I didn't start freaking out until I read what happened to you. :( Were you able to recover?

The last time I tried to update CWM via ROM Manager (like a month ago), it soft-bricked my S2. It could very well have been a fluke, but after that experience... ehh... I'll do things manually, thank you very much. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] supraman89:

Has anyone been successful in installing the latest TWRP through ODIN? I've downloaded the file three times, from links here and from the TWRP website, and when I try to install it via ODIN it fails.

how would i install TWRP if i have already put CWM on my phone??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] naijaboykev28:
I went from CWM 5.0,2,7 to TWRP 2.2.2.0 and I kinda wanna use my NANDROIDs from CWM in TWRP...is that even possible? I noticed they have different backup formats inside their folders lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
By using the commands posted. A recovery is a recovery (as long as it is made specifically for you phone. Going from CWM to TWRP is no problem using this method. Just make sure you know what you are doing and are typing the commands exactly. Also, make sure of the name of your sdcard on the rom you are using (/sdcard vs /emmc). If this is confusing you too much, then find a flashable version rather than using this method.

Unfortunately, you cannot use CMW backups with TWRP and vice versa. They backup the roms differently.

Why are you trying to install via odin? This is a command line install from either adb or terminal emmulator.

You're welcome.

GOOD point. I forgot some Rom's identify the internal sdcard as emmc. I'll update OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
"If your Rom identifies your internal sdcard as /emmc instead of /sdcard, then make the adjustment to command line (dd if=/emmc/recovery.img) instead of what is posted above."

how do i know if my phone read it as emmc or internal sd?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
What is your internal mounted as inside a root explorer like es, ROM toolbox etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
thanks hit the button for you.:D

ok so i actually tried to take the easy way out and switch recovery from cwm to trwp thru goo manager. everything went great expect when i try and go to recovery it gets stuck on teamwin boot image. what should i do? should i try this way or am i going to have to unroot and then re root again...dont wanna do that =/ ...suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crz6662:
Running Slim Rom 2.9.0 (JB 4.1.2). For some reason CWM Touch or non-Touch doesn't seem to be working. Ran backups on both. When finished I go into restore to make sure the backup is there but after rebooting and then going back into recovery to see if I can restore, I can't find the backup. It's not listed. By the way, extremely long time to run the backup on CWM Touch. Didn't time it but had to be at least 20 min.

Just tried for the first time TWRP 2.3.1.1 Says success on back up, reboot phone, go back into recovery and can't find the back up. Doesn't seem to be there. Love the idea of storing the backups on my external sd card since it's a 32GB and the internal sd card is almost full but have found issues flashing items from the external card. Nice interface on TWRP. Seems more sophisticated, more modern, if it works.

Now running a second attempt.........

Checked restore, backup is there, rebooting.....

Just went through the files to see if backup is there via sd card/external_sd and TWRP file is not there. Went through storage/sdcard0 and sdcard1 and can't find the back up. Can't find a file with TWRP as the name either. TWRP file is on internal sd card but no backup inside. Just settings and version.

Went back into recovery and clicked on restore, lo and behold, the back up is not there.

I absolutely hate this dual sd card sh.t. Pain in the ass.

Any suggestions out there.

Would love to flash other roms but without a good back up, not screwing with it.

Help ?

Update: After a second backup attempt to internal sd card, got a fail, lack of space on card, but was able to see the backup file in sd card, TWRP, Backups.

Will try to free up space and backup to internal sd card. Wish the external sd backup would work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] longfuzzy:
Had the same problem. Went to this site: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and downloaded all the different versions.(.img files) Got 2.2.2.0 to work. Use the 'dd' command line in the OP to flash.

-LF

Edit: Reflashed the ROM (aokp_hercules_jb_milestone-1) and now TWRP version 2.3.1.1 is working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
I'm late getting back to you, but did you get it all to work? If you can boot back into your rom, then run the commands from post #1 for CWM or #2 for TWRP (same commands, just different image links).

If you are stuck and unable to get into your rom, then you might have to odin your phone back to stock via download mode, reroot, and nandroid restore.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qariboy:
I think I have done something wrong. I have done everything as was stated,. I can see the recovery, but it just doesn't wipe the cache no matter how hard I try. I have tried running Darkside ext4 wipe and cache wipe both don't wipe cache. It would just say wiping cache and reboot after few minutes staying on that. I am not able to install any rom or do anything else with the recovery. Somehow I was able to restore my stock rom 2.6 GB but I am not able to do data/factory reset, wipe cache or anything. I am able to format system though through mounts and storage.

Need help!!!!

after installing stock I have no SuperUser. when I try to install SU from recovery it would just sit there saying "installing su-3.0.5-.....zip". That's it! and again reboot after few minutes. I don't know whats happening over here.

before i try it. i was wondering if it was save to use an old TWRP backup to downgrade the firmware? right now the firmware is 4.4.2 and the backup is 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
It's recommended to use the same recovery version to restrore a backup that you used to make the backup, if you can't remember the version you used to make the backup, check in the folder where the backup is stored, there will be a recovery.log file, open it in notepad or wordpad if in windows, look for the line at or near top that starts with 'Starting TWRP...' it will also have the version number that you used when making that backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homage:
I still have the zip file I used to install twrp and I have already installed it back onto my phone. Is there any known issues when it comes to downgrading from 4.4.2 to stock firmware 4.3 from a backup

EDIT

I have already downgraded back to 4.3 without an issue
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Some users are reporting on theyr Sensation 4G or the German T-Mobile Version of the Sensation XE that the sensors are not working so I want to tell you how to fix that.

1. You have to Super CID your Sensation 4G/XE

2. Flash this for (T-Mobile only):

3. You can check now if it works:

Please hit thanks if it worked for you ;)

[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Hmmm...maybe it only works for German Sensation XE from T-Mobile -.-
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
I have been trying to fix this for weeks since I got the phone....

I installed 1.17, and that did nothing but put me into a complete bootloop.

I put the modified version here that was posted Tessut, fixed permissions in 4EXT and booted into my ROM (Energy 3-15.12), and same ****...no sensors.

I have even installed the RUU for ICS from HTC (EU version only as there is no ICS RUU for TMOUS yet)...and then I installed my custom ROM and same issue.

I have tried the Stock Kernel and the Bricked Kernel (Bricked-3.0-v1.1-ics), and no success.

I AM SuperCID'd: 11111111

I am also noticing that I am not the only one with this problem with any fixes applied also. The hardware is functional, I have tested the chipsets individually and they are on and working, just no readings (events).

At this point I am ready to pay someone money if they come up with a successful fix. If you have a PayPal account I am more than willing to contribute a fair price if I can get this **** working!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lost all hope on this :-(

Maybe you don't flashed the T-Mobile things...maybe we should wait for T-Mobile US to give us finally a Sensation 4G RUU

[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
@Tessut: I am guessing that this is the only solution we have now.....perhaps when the ICS release is finally made it will solve our problems.

Otherwise I have a phone here that is VERY frustrating to use with no sensors....

[Droid 2 Global General] kew1701:
This applies on bug that my d2g had on GB kernel,if wifi is turned on it goes in ON/OFF loop over and over.As for now i have searched and this is the only way to solve issue.

Download http://roms.miui.us/cdma_droid2we/M...20B2_4.0_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_BeansTown106.zip

install it in CWM,after install when everything booted ok go to restart phone and U will get options,select boot manager.Then when it gets in boot manager go to option wifi fix and select it,that"s it.

I use this method because i can't find android boot manager with this fix implemented,there is just ABM without fix on some china page with chinese language,think thonato's blog or such.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
well, screen and 3g are big batterydrainers normally, but what you described in the first post seemed mostly like a calibration issue, it may have been solved by you charging your phone again, just keep an eye on it, If you use your phone heavily (wifi, 3g, lots of calls or sms) you still should get about 8 to 10 hours of use out of it.

For example, I've got A2SD installed and I want to know how much I've got available in my sd-ext partition, but none of the stock storage utilities tells me how much storage I have in my partitions. Only internal and sd card.

I'm currently running NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.0 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r2) with 40ad2sdx.

When I'm looking at my apps via ROM Tooldbox Pro, It shows I have less then a MB left in System, but my internal storage is well over 700mb.

I had to do some digging around in File Expert to find out where my downlaoded apps where going. They wound up in /data/apps on phone internal storage, which means the script didn't install right, or it's spoofing internal storage so good, it's fooling file expert.
