Fantastic tool to begin with and even more fantastic update -- thank you!!!! :)

But, I am confused on one thing -

So - I'm asking. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
so much more responsive and touch inputs for settings are much much better! :D

i love it!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
Will this recovery work on Galaxy 10.1 Tab? If so, which device do I choose?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I was having a hell of problems with this new version. I had no icon for the terminal, also no way to rename backups. I was also erroring out on creating new backups. I decided to delete the theme I was running for TWRP and then the missing icons appeared, however I was still erroring out when trying to create new backups, it couldn't create /sdcard/TWRP/HT25GS406870/... directory (screen covered up rest of path). So I deleted the /sdcard/TWRP directory (my backups are stored on the external sdcard), with the .twrps file in it. I then rebooted recovery, and everything works now. Thought I'd post this, in case anyone else was having problems.

In short, when installing this new version, delete your old theme and /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps file if you are having problems.

Is there any reason why when I try to wipe my internal storage it fails? Has anyone else been able to do it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
When I select "install openrecoveryscript", it tells me that I have no recovery installed...what does that mean?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
Whenever I try to restore a compressed backup using 2.2 (tried with one made on previous TWRP and one made on 2.2) it gets maybe 10% in and reboots recovery. Anybody else have this issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IWishItJustWorked:
The TWRP versions are dependent on device model. So no, the jewel version of twrp will not work on your tab.

Verify that they have a version for your device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
Got it. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I would reinstall the recovery first to see if you got a bad dl.

Thanks Team Win!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
That's what I'm getting at...there's no reason to wipe battery stats.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Exactly. People even seeing that as an option seemed to make them think it actually had something to do with battery life. Having it removed is a first step toward eradicating that urban legend.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
It hasn't been removed. Battery stats is still there on the wipe menu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Not if you're on 2.2.0.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
Are you sure?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
You have to remove the theme to see all the new features. They will have to update the theme in order for it to work correctly.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
I kept getting an issue where restoring a nandroid stops part way through and restarts the recovery. :/

Originally updated using goo manager, but a reinstall from the website fixed it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssamboy:
URGENT help humbly requested

Help - I was trying to do a nandroid restore and wiped everything including the system. For some reason, I I thought I could reboot to recovery without having a system, but the screen is stuck on rebooting with the last line of text in the log "E:System is not installed - preventing reboot!"

I'm glad that it's preventing my reboot, but unfortunately, I cannot leave the screen that says rebooting at the top.

If I push Power, it goes to swipe to unlock, and then right back to the TWRP Rebooting.... screen. I'm afraid if I hold power down that I might brick the thing.

I just want to get back to the TWRP menu.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

SOLVED: Deez_Troy at TWRP support gave me the adb command "adb shell killall recovery" to get back to the curtain/menu.... What a lifesaver!!!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
And the command is?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:

no, but seriously inquiring minds would like to know, too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
adb reboot recovery, if I had to guess.

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Hahaha

I was thinking/wondering the same thing. That's awesome that Deez_troy provided support, but it would be great of the poster to share the info.

Also, I'm puzzled. I wipe everything including system before a nand restore, too. I don't understand why dude had issues, exactly. :confused: and why the nand restore didn't restore his system partition. ? Unless he's saying he wiped system AFTER doing the restore and before booting :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssamboy:
adb shell killall recovery

.... and poof my heartrate began to slow back down...Sorry I forgot to post this sooner.

His first suggestion was a battery pull (before he realized that it was an EVO 4G LTE that he was dealing with). This makes me think that I would have been ok just let my phone die and then plug it back in. I'm glad I didn't have to wait for it to get that far to find out though.

Sorry I forgot to post this sooner.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

I'm a noob of sorts and thought that clearing cache, dalvik, and system then reboot to recovery prior to nandroid restoring could only make things cleaner. I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to reboot to recovery without an OS seeing as recovery isn't technically part of the OS.... or at least I didn't think it was.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
really? That's weird. recovery's a separate partition...it's basically it's own OS...you should be able to boot into it even with a completely wiped phone. I'm almost certain I've done that in the past....I think I'll try it.

Oh and you wouldn't have had to let your battery die. Holding power down until the lights flash for 10 seconds is the same thing as a battery pull.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
I completely agree. I've done it, and that's how how you restart. Hold down power and vol down even maybe for the 10-12seconds, release power n hold again with vol down, boom recovery even with everything wiped pre Rom reinstall.

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I stand corrected. It's possibly something new(ish) in TWRP but if there's not /system set up it will indeed fail to reboot.

Now I can understand if it failed a 'boot system' then restarted the recovery shell...but this thing's just hanging on a reboot recovery. Perhaps something that should be looked into. Reboot bootloader or reboot recovery should just work, system installed or no.

When you try and boot it comes up with 'no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot' and then you have to slide to accept. It should only do that if you're trying to reboot system, in my opinion.

Edit: Oh and an adb reboot recovery does indeed work...you don't really need to do adb shell killall recovery, though that IS faster.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
Straaaaange. I agree, something to be looked into....

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yeah. Ssambo stumbled onto something. Good testing lol. Hopefully teamwin can get it sorted out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
Werd, who's bug trackin it?

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
IIRC dees_troy added that reboot prevention warning when /system was empty because there were some devices that would actually full on insta-brick if they booted without /system (might have been a samsung but I forget..). So it's there to prevent a major issue.

In this case a hard power off (batt pull or holding power for non-removable batt devices) and then manually booting back to recovery would be fine if you weren't aware of the killall recovery command. You wouldn't be bricked by hard powering off in recovery, unless maybe you did it during a flash/restore.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Thanks for explanation

So, it's OK to wipe system before a nand restore, as long as we don't try to reboot recovery first, correct?

(Hope that makes sense)

Edit: ex. it's OK to wipe system and caches > nand restore > reboot system correct ?

(Sorry, actually haven't done a nand restore yet with this device and recovery)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
TWRP will format system before a nand restore so you don't need to do it manually. Just restore and reboot.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
How should I debug? Any specific tests I could do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
I honestly don't have a clue where to start with it..

Maybe start by reading this: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html and then going from there. Now of course some of that stuff won't apply to us since we're not booted into android but maybe you can get a basic understanding of what it does..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
ok but that assumes the device is communicating properly, which in android it does. while in recovery if you start ddms, it gives the device info and s/n like this "HTC1234567" - unknown", meaning nothing in ddms functions, so it seems to not be an error within how ddms or adb operates (my sdk is up to date as are my drivers - although if someone has working ddms I'd be curious what versions they have - maybe older?) but how recovery (or it's contained kernel?) allows for ddms to connect. Do you know of anyone (teamWIN or otherwise) that has any success with any ddms function on the evo 4glte? For me screenshot is important but overall way below other useful debugging tools in ddms. I'm here to help out in whatever way I can. Now I'm curious if it works in CWM, and if so how to figure out why/how it works there, and then implement that into twrp ftw.

Does CWM work again?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I believe running an RUU would accomplish this, if you're looking to unroot. I'm not familiar with doing that, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
No I just want to change the recovery only. I don't want to unroot the whole thing.

My phone started giving me issues, and I wanna take it back to them. And in case they decide to look into the phone, having a different recovery is a dead giveaway that my phone is rooted.

But if I can hide the recovery, then the other things they probably won't even know about.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
They're not likely to boot into recovery. Stock recovery is useless for diagnostics. They'll load up bootloader sometimes, but that's it.

There is no flashable stock recovery as far as I'm aware. It could be created, but I doubt anyone has done it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
It's a 3G issue. Last time I went to the sprint store, the guy said "let me check something" and for some reason (which even I found odd), he booted it up into Bootloader, then Recovery.

(Seriously, don't ask me why. I have no clue why.)

When he saw TWRP, he asked me if my phone was rooted. I played dumb and said "my friend messed with it. I don't know what he did with it.)

Then he gave me the phone back.

Also, from the ClockworkMod Recovery thread, I tried flashing it through Fastboot and it failed. See below:

Hey bud, not exactly sure what I'm supposed to check in the settings?

But I can say that it happened around the time I did Lazy Panda S-Off. Not sure if that was EXACTLY when. (I don't wanna blame anyone whose fault it's not.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
In many cases lazy panda temporarily borks data. Just need to call sprint and they can reprovision your phone....over the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I didn't think about that. I just wiped all then restored a backup and it fixed it. Another option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DZLRULZ:
Try settings, system updates, update profile. After that, try getting your msl, then dial ##3282#, enter the msl for edit mode, data profile, set active profile to 1 if it's 0. This happened to me after lazy panda and sprint customer service could not figure it out. Luckily I had my wife's phone to compare to and figured it out. No 3g data otherwise.

I'm stuck, because I encrypted my sdcard, TeamWin Recovery cannot access the internal memory or SD Card because I encrypted the sdcard.

How do I get past the encryption?

I just posted for you in Mik's thread, but if you choose all other supported devices from the drop down menu and then follow the directions for the HTC unlock to a T, it should go through for you no problem.
