Hey all. I have a stock ROM M7VZW S-Off'd with Firewater and CWM Touch 6.0.4.6 installed. I'd like to switch over to TWRP before flashing to CM 10 or 11. Do I just flash 2.7.1.1 in CWM recovery or do I have to flash it with ADB to avoid possible issues?

Firmware Glitch After Entering Recovery

Hi all, I seem to be having an issue with the latest TWRP versions (2.7.0.8 and 2.7.1.1) that I can't find any mention of in the forums. Every time I enter recovery, regardless of what is being done (even just entering and rebooting to bootloader), it causes a firmware glitch where the "OS" line in the bootloader is empty, where it would normally show latest firmware version. If this were simply a minor issue that only affected the info displayed I wouldn't care. However, I have found it to cause 2 major issues:

1. I have to reflash firmware before I can install a new ROM

2. I have to reflash firmware or ROM functionality is degraded (ex// Google Apps don't work correctly, cannot manage apps from Play Store)

Reflashing firmware fixes any issue, but I have to do it after every boot to recovery. This did not occur with previous versions and I believe is only an issue with the latest firmware version, 4.10.605.3. I'm pretty sure I was using 2.7.0.8 on fw version 3.11.605.1 without issue. I have tried flashing an RUU of the latest firmware posted here, but no dice. I currently have CWM touch 6.0.4.8 installed and it does not cause any issue, but I'm not a big fan of CWM. I would be very grateful if anyone could throw some ideas my way. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
I have been noticing the "no OS" issue as well. No idea it was caused by TWRP, would love to hear some dev input on the issue as well
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Osama Zabin:
It's because of TWRP as mentioned by [MENTION=4513061]cschmitt[/MENTION] in below thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53733669&postcount=1592

And yes some people reported it's being fixed by reflashing firmware, I haven't tired it myself.

This is the first time I have blank OS version, only after flashing twrp 2.7.1.1, never faced this before ,neither with 2.6.x.x nor 2.7.0.x
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lancasterv3:
yep mine also had no OS. I couldn't use fastboot commands either. I am glad I was able to get into RUU mod. However flashify was able to flash another recovery. Ultimately I couldn't handle it and just pushed the RUU, bootloader then read the OS correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] p0wder2:
Thanks for the link, don't know why I couldn't find any mention of it in my searches...just gave up too early I guess. Anyways, I hope this gets corrected as I'm finding myself using CWM instead to avoid having to reflash the firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jtj1825:
Is TWRP no longer being updated? I've tried to setup a git and compile from source
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pons:
The update just came out, so not sure how it's not being updated. They also have a fairly active gerrit.

You have to sync omnirom, and then compile their recovery (which is twrp).

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
The vzw|wlv equivalency is something that I've run into before.

But: you said "official twrp-2.8.0.0-m7wlv.img is live. check their server". The word "their" led me to enter "twrp" into Google, which led me to "teamw.in/project/twrp2". Now how does "techerrata.com" relate to "teamw.in", and how could I have guessed "their server" meant "techerrata.com"?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Do a Google search of "techerrata" you will see it's description. "Official file host of teamwin." So, when you want to DL official builds of twrp, it will be hosted on that site. Also, link to official downloads is always in OP which is the domain of "techerrata" and not "teamw.in"

Hey, I have encrypted my phone to use an EAS account. When I reboot into TWRP (2.7.1.2 mdmower) it asks for a password. I enter my decryption password that I use to unlock normally and it fails. I used a numeric pin, so there shouldn't be any caps or special character issues. Any thoughts on what the issue is??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
were you using an AOSP based ROM?

if so it's a bug, I think within AOSP

you will need to ADB sideload a ROM, then hopefully you have a backup of your internal as it is most likely gone,unless you can see it in TWRP, then I'd say it's there, you may just need to nandroid to another ROM, or if nothing shows do a adb sideload flash, and if all else fails,.. RUU
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] neutronjeff:
I'm on stock rooted from the RUU. (Actually, a re stored nandroid of the stock rooted coming out of the RUU, if you follow)

Entering the password into the phone is fine, and I can load a Rom into the storage from my pc as usual. When I boot into twrp and it asks for the pin, it isn't recognized.

My guess is that I will probably have to remove the EAS account, or do the factory reset from the settings menu which will allow me to turn off encryption and flash away. [emoji6]

Updated with an Unofficial 2.8.3 build

OP updated with my own personal Unofficial TWRP build.

I used the latest Twrp build sources for version 2.8.3.

It's been a little while since I have done an unofficial Twrp update for this device.

But that time has come again, as current official or otherwise 2.8+ versions, all have issues for me that I don't care for.

Whether it was hanging during wiping data and or caches, taking way to long for installs, failing to install some roms at all, erroring on meta data, lacking fully functional mtp support, or whatever other issues may have come up, etc,..

So, I have been sticking with MdMowers last 2.7.1.2 build, rather then any of the current 2.8 ones, until now.

I have fixed up all the issues that I found present with current 2.8+ versions.

I hope that you'll find my 2.8.3 update as stable and reliable as I do.

It's been compiled using m7 kernel sources, rather then the slightly buggier and slower msm8960 sources.

So it should also perform operations in a decent time.

It's been working well for me.

Enjoy! :good:

I almost forgot:

This also now has fully functional and properly implemented by-name partition mounting support.

Which means it should work well and be fully compatible with Sense Lollipop roms once they arrive... ;)

This one is newer of course and did not exist when I posted that suggestion.

Now that this is built and working well, I will probably modify my suggestion in my threads.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jabrown84:
I noticed a small issue on the latest build. My phone boots into recovery when I try to power down the phone. It displays the white battery charging indicator in the middle of the screen and then boots into recovery. When this happens the touch screen is unresponsive in recovery.

You were asking about installing a "latest recovery or one of my choosing". I'm not at all clear what list of recoveries you are considering, so unless you spell that out, I can't really comment.

Boot into your current recovery. Try to install the ROM you like. If it doesn't work, then yeah, consider installing a different recovery program.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Poor Grammar:
Ok let me explain correctly. When I said choose one of my choosing I meant do I have to use the current up to date version of twrp or can I pick a older version of twrp.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Some sense roms like Viper require an older version of twrp to flash correctly. Read the OP of the Rom you want and see if there is a recommended recovery version. For most AOSP, the latest would do just fine.

Correct but my problem is I can't seem to install root or custom recovery I have s-off and unlocked bootloader..when I download twrp image on my laptop it's showing as a disc file maybe my computer but I tired been at this about 6 hours one problem after another

Santod's 2.8.3.0 vs. Official 2.8.4.0 ?

I'm currently running [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]'s unofficial TWRP v2.8.3.0. It's working great and I've had no problems with it.

Anyone using 2.8.6? I'm still on santod's 2.8.3.0 which is nice, but I hate the bug where it boots into twrp if you plug it in and then freezes there. Just curious if 2.8.6 works well.

MDMower's v2.8.6.2 for m7wlv seems good so far...

I've seen what you're referring to with Santod's 2.8.3.0 TWRP build, but never had a problem with it. If plugged-in while powered off, I do see the big battery charging icon before and again after seeing the TWRP splash screen and the unresponsive TWRP home screen... Weird, but the battery appears to charge all right.

That said, I recently flashed MDMower's unofficial v2.8.6.2. So far so good while doing a backup then a restore of an image from v2.8.3.0 - also, powered-off charging appears normal.
