How u use the twrp?? U boot into recovery like normally you would to use cwm and it will take me to the twrp or do I open it thru goo manager?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
Just checked into GooManager and as of today there is a posted message that is basicly unreadable. Anyone know what this message is all about?

Great recovery,easy to use.

Thanks

Ive searched the whole thread and did not really see this question answered. Can I restore a CWM backup with TWR ?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
Not without somehow modifying the backup files.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
Use can flash the .img via Android terminal on your phone. I didnt use goo and it was quite easy getting twrp running on my phone.

After CWM aborted my backups for the hundredth time... I'm on this. Goo must be down again... So I used the terminal method and it was easy enough. Copy/Paste, pretty much. Works just as well as it did with the N1.

I am a recent member to Team Win Recovery, I went and made the $10.00 donation to become a life long member, that is how much I thought of this recovery. My only quirk is trying to set the time in the recovery. I keep trying to set the correct Time Zone but their time zone just doesn't jive with mine. East coast hasn't changed time zones and their Eastern Time Zone is several hours ahead of mine. That is the only issue and I'm sure they will fix it.

Great Recovery,

Vinny
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
After buying a new SGS3 with the new OTA update, rooting and applying new recovery there is a issue with recovery sticking. After rebooting phone the stock recovery over rides any other recovery. This only happens if you are on the new OTA update with stock rom. Hoping the devs can figure this out.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
Thank you very much, looks like this is just what I need. Instead of deleting these two files I will probably rename them so I can always change back. The only problem is on your two files listed you didn't say what to rename (install-recovery.sh) to. The first file you supplied the new name to change it to but not the 2nd.

Thanks for helping me out.

PS I could just delete them but deleting is just too final for me, no way of returning back.

Goo manager refuses to begin the download. Anyone else?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dees_Troy:
Updated to 2.2.2.0!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I'm not trying to get off topic here but that .gif stands out like a flashing police car at night, is there a reason your using a creapy chick for the gif or is it just for the humor? That's hysterical by the way....

@ Team Win-The update is working great, thanks for keeping up with it. For those whom are wondering I updated through Goomanager and didn't have any problems (suggest wifi connection for people that have spotty service (if you have less than 3 bars)) hit menu and select "Install Open Recovery Script".

Sometimes Goomanager has problems with connections depending on the time you log in to look for anything, if it stops half way through just cancel the download and restart it again and it should work fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpolito73:
Is there an app of any kind that helps you manage backups similar to ROM Manager for CWM? Great job on the recovery! Thanks!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
manage in what way? you can rename them with "toolkit"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dees_Troy:
There isn't an app that fully supports all of the ORS functions yet, but within TWRP you can go to Restore and select a backup. On the right side of the screen you'll see 2 buttons for Rename and Delete which you should be able to use to manage your backups without using an app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jaimesco12:
Can I do this with cwm non touch recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpolito73:
Thank you both for your replies. By manage I mean the "Manage and Restore Backups" option Rom Manager has. I have purchased Rom Toolkit so I will use that until something official by Team Win comes out.

Still have a problem with setting the correct time. I live in Boston and set it to Atlantic time zone then tried Eastern Time Zone and neither one were even close. The minutes were correct but the hours were way off. Anyone having the same problem or am I just being dumb? Other than that the update after setting my defaults recognized my backups and seems to work great.

What is the difference between this version 2.2.2.0 and the version 5.8.4.7 hosted at the clockwork site.

File name = recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.7-d2tmo.img
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rpolito73:
Thats developed by Koush & called Clockworkmod - This is developed by Team Win & called Team Win Recovery Pro... Like different roms only different recoveries.

What I like about this is that you can backup to your ext sd. The 5.8.4.7 CWM you cannot.....

I can't get this recovery to wipe/format my Data partition, which I think is hindering me from flashing other ROMs... This is my second S3, and I remember the other one wouldn't format data through recovery either. Is there a trick to it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
Just for the sake of it. I put a little link to the whole story behind it under my sig. (plus it helps me spot my posts from a mile away)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
So following instructions in OP and flashing this over CWM is okay? It won't mess up the phone for installing two recoveries or over the current one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
You are installing 2 recoveries. It overwrites the space in memory that holds the recovery. You won't mess anything up. I switch back and forth between cmw and twrp all the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
Thanks! Looks great!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
I didn't know you can switch between the two. Thanks for the info!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sn0warmy:
Is there a way to completely remove CWM once TWRP is installed? Or is it smart to keep both Recoveries installed?

Also, what wipe process is everyone using with this recovery when switching between ROMs?

On CWM I always did the following to ensure full wipe:

- Wipe data/factory reset (3x)

- Wipe Cache Partition (3x)

- Wipe Dalvik Cache (3x)

- Format System (3x)

- Format Data (3x)

- Format Cache (3x)

- Install ROM & Gapps

- Reboot (let phone sit for 10 minutes before setting up)

What's the most solid wipe method with TWRP?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dees_Troy:
You can only have one recovery installed at a time. You don't need to remove the previous recovery.

You only need to wipe once and a factory reset is all you need 99%of the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
hello everyone. im interested in switching to this from CMR v6.0.1.2. so if i follow the instructions in OP using Goomanager and all goes well, what happens to the current CMR v.6.0.1.2? is it still there or does it get overwritten by TWRP?

thanks a bunch!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
Yes, the recovery space gets overwritten by TWRP. All you need to do is just flash the space with whichever recovery you would like to use. I keep the twrp and cwmtr .img files on my sdcard so I can flash whichever file to the recovery space when I want to use one.

You can only flash 1 recovery image to the space and that flash will overwrite whatever is currently being used in that space/block of memory. So its one or the other TWRP or CWMR.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
aah makes much more sense.. i was reading another post and someone said u can have 2 recoveries lol.

so i see how this works.. u keep the .img files on your sd card and whenver u want to use one, just flash it whether its thru recovery, terminal , mobile ODIN, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
Sorry if my last post was misleading. You can have both image files stored to your SDcard and whenever you want to use one of the recoveries, you can flash that image file to the space/block recovery boots from. I switch back and forth between Twrp and Cwmtr all the time because I like comparing the two.

However, only 1 recovery image can occupy the flash space/block in memory. So it is not possible to have twrp AND cwmr flashed at the same time. Whichever one you flash, the space gets overwritten with the new image. If you want to use twrp, just flash the image to the recovery space/block and anything there will get overwritten. No need to try and wipe the space.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Exactly! I prefer flashing using terminal on my phone. It's so so easy. Just make sure you run the flash command correctly... you dont want to flash something else not intended to that space or flash the right file to some other unintended space on the phone. You could end up with a brick if the command is referencing the wrong path.

Just run this EXACT command from terminal on you phone"

1. Type 'SU' (without quotes)

2. Then type 'dd if=/sdcard/file.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' (without quotes)

'file.img' is the name of your flash image. For example if you named your flash image 'twrp.img', then the name in the path should be twrp.img

Also, make sure you have the flash image stored on your internal sdcard.

3. Then type 'reboot recovery'

Your phone will reboot into recovery. This step isn't necessary, but it is if you would like to see if the recovery image was flashed properly. Otherwise, you can just reboot into recovery the normal way.

I hope this helps...this process is actually really easy.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
So I finally made the jump and switched to TWRP! so glad I did. Its pretty much the same thing except its touch and they made it more cool! Lol. Didn't feel like paying for a touch version of CWM.. So decided on this recovery. Which is pretty damn cool.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
U don't have to pay for the touch version of cwm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sn0warmy:
Yeah, the touch version of CWM is free. However, this TWRP touch interface is definitely more user friendly. I'm definitely enjoying it of CWM touch.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
Sweet, so u got it working using the instructions I gave? You should try a different theme too.... I found one that was pretty cool over in rootzwiki.

Yep, it was a very simple process. I might give some other themes a try.

I have installed this through GooManager, and it works good overall.

However, I cannot get into recovery when the device is off and I try to enter recovery like I did with stock recovery. I get into it by booting into Recovery from GooManager.

I had a problem flashing a kernel, so it would not boot up and then i could not get into recovery to restore my TWRP backup. Odin saved the day.

I have searched this and other threads, but have not found any info. Suggestions would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I have done the following (it got me into stock recovery earlier):

How to get into Recovery Mode

1. Unplug the USB cable.

2. Shut down the phone.

3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
hm weird. i didn't run into any issues. when i did pressed vol up + home + power, there were blue words on the top right. i left go of the power button but continued to press the vol up and center home keys and it booted fine into TWRP.

Is there a way to install twrp on a non rooted phone. I had to swap out my phone and I have a backup impage from my most recent phone that I can restore. The root instructions that I followed in the past started with using ODIN to install CWM recovery. I would much rather start with TWRP if there is a way to do that (on a non-rooted phone).

I'm having issues with backing up my rom's now... I get an error when Data is being backed up. (says, "Error occured, check recovery.log. Aborting.") What could be causing this issue?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You have the log file... what does it say?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
All these people asking about switching or having two recoveries...

The recovery part is simple. When you boot to recovery, it always launches and loads whatever is on partition #18. Think of it just like windows dual booting. When you hold the up arrow key combo, it is just the same as a windows hard drive with multiple partitions, one for windows and one for linux...

So the good thing about recovery partition is that it doesn't matter what is on there, and you can always wipe it or change it except when you are booted into the recovery. It is about 11MB of file space, and twrp and cwmtr are 5 to 7 MB. If it was a normal partition you'd want to wipe it first, but I think it's safe because of the filesystem type that you don't have to zero out the unused parts. So you never really need odin or anything fancy, it's just:

dd if=/sdcard/file.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

If you are using adb instead of any terminal [needs root because you are writing to /dev/block/ ] you have to find the actual number which changes from mfg to mfg, for T999 it is mccblk0p18.

If you made a backup of the stock recovery you can just dd that over there.

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/backup/original_recovery.img

Do you even need a valid recovery? Does it boot that first and you can brick things or does the bootloader only check when booting to recovery? And is download mode on a different partition?

I have noticed that when I reboot into TWRP 2.2.2.0, this version will not see my external 64 gig micro SD Card. It will see the old card that I have used (32 gig micro SD card) but not my new one.

After I reboot, the applications and file systems will see the 64 gig micro SD card with out a problem, but the basic functions cannot be used when attempting to intall applications or flashing a zip from the external card.

Same issue here :( . TWRP not recognizing 64 Gig card. 32 works fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
You didn't say if it was 64GB SDHC or SDXC. You should realize the SDXC uses exFat which is microsoft licensed format which requires royalties to microsoft and is not supported on a lot of phones cameras and linux which do not implement the royalty requiring exFat.

So check if your recovery supports exFat.. if you go to cwm or team win webpage they explain all this. Only stock kernels support exFAT but maybe some in future.

Some people claim to have formatted the sdcard with FAT32

Would have to wait for a kernel to support the file system?

The kernel already does support it (well the stock kernel)

You need a recovery that does it and none of the open source stuff can without illegal hacks
