Has anyone been able to install via TWRP Manager? every time i select "select device", it crashes. Anyone else?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ewalk4866:
You should go back and read the OP it says that you cant flash twrp right now through fastboot. So I would also say that TWRP manager will not work either. He posted how to install in on there website and it works great its fast and easy to do. If you need help just ask
[X 2014 Original Android Development] dmbfan13:
Gotcha! Thanks for the reply!

You might try Rashr tools from play to flash the img.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] vipergtsr6:
What is the easiest way to update to the current 2.8.0.1 from 2.8.0.0?

I am using Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Do I enter the following commands 1 at a time?

1. fastboot boot recovery.img

2. adb push recovery.img /recovery.img

3. adb shell dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

I have the recovery image named recovery.img and it is within the minimal ADB and Fastboot folder but I am not clear on the process.

Thanks in advance!
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ewalk4866:
yes that's the easiest and fastest way of doing.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] CUBENSIS:
Installed 2.8.0.1 with Rashr tools from play store, no adb needed. TWRP UI works w/o a problem, no problems with slide-to-unlock. Made a compressed backup in 260 seconds.

Thanks TWRP team!
[X 2014 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Or..... He could just use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ewalk4866:
that is not true yet if you read the second post in the PO dees-troy tells us how to flash recovery and why that way you said will not work just yet

Hi, I m on 2.8.7.0 twrp... But facing a weird issue... I did backup with recovery but I could not see it in the folder TWRP on sdcard... In recovery it is showing the backup file and even I can restore with that...I wana save my backup on PC... But the folder TWRP on sdcard showing nothing... It's empty... I use root explorer to see the files on sdcard... Will u please help me... Thanks...
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Ijspegel:
Hello, if you have an SD card & Internal memory the files will be placed standard on your internal memory. From recovery you can choose where you want To place the back-up files. SD card, internal or even usb-otg. Make sure you choose the right one, or try usb-otg to see of that works.

Greet
[X 2014 Original Android Development] varinder jaswal:
Thank you for the reply...

As u know we have only internal memory in Moto x 2014... And I have taken the backup in internal memory not on otg-usb... When I went to TWRP recovery the file is showing there in the TWRP folder as back up file... But after booting the fon when I try to find the file through file explorer the back up file is not showing there... It's hidden somewhere...
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Ijspegel:
Maybe you where on another phone. Then it should be in the TWRP map yes. Strange, dont you have an USB drive To backup? Try ES file Explorer if you want. If TWRP sees the files and you can restore they have To be there.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Sgace:

I have problems with the recovery. I'm stuck in twrp logo every time I try to boot in recovery. I can't update my room and flash anything.

I tried installing flashify but can't flash nothing, app crashes. tried using twrp app, flashed other versions, but all of them show a message of error in installing and I'm stuck in twrp logo.

how to fix it?

I was thinking in flashing cm recovery but I don't know how to flash it since flashify don't work and I can't access recovery. any help?

[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
Try flashing CM recovery in Bootloader mode, using fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If that works, then you can flash TWRP again, the same way.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
I'm a little noob, sorry... how to do that?

Enviado de meu XT1095 usando Tapatalk
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
Turn the phone off, press the power and volume down buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds and let go, the phone should boot into Bootloader mode, connect the usb cable, the phone should show "connected"...

Put the 4 ADB/Fastboot files in the same folder with the recovery img

Shift+Right Click inside that folder, Open command window here...

type "adb devices" twice to make sure the phone is receiving commands

type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or whatever the name of the recovery image is
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Ijspegel:
I had the same problem, went back to 2.8.6.0

That seems the latest version without problems. Flash it in fastboot.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
would using and older version of twrp cause problems?

[X 2014 Original Android Development] thousandecibels:
Just use the 2.8.6.0 as the previous guy said. You should be good.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
No, actually the older versions of TWRP seems to be better than the latest, like versions 2.8.7.1 or 2.8.7.0

Official : https://twrp.me/

Invisblek: http://www.invisiblek.org/twrp/

Many people, including me, have had problems with the 3.0+ versions.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
ok, I get.

there is some risk of using fastboot, like bricking?

Enviado de meu XT1095 usando Tapatalk
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
No risk. The only risk is if you try to downgrade the bootloader or partition table.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
and I need to make some preparation in my PC (drivers, files, etc)?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
For a Motorola phone you should install the USB drivers for the PC:

[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
you told me to type "adb devices" first to verify if it is working. When I type it, the command line returns "0010517017 device". Is this working? now I just need to do the command to flash the img?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
I think "adb devices" shows you the serial number of the phone that's connected, it looks like it is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and look at the phone to see if it flashed
[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
There will be an error on the phone screen about mismatched partition sizes. Just ignore that message (TWRP isn't the same size as the factory recovery so it is just telling you that fact.)
[X 2014 Original Android Development] lucasortlieb:
I did it. everything is OK, no problem in the process. The only thing I complain about is that TWRP takes a lot of time to open, it stays a lot of time in the TWRP logo.... CM recovery is very fast, but isn't useful at all, I can't even flash zip...

anyway, all working here, recovery fixed. thanks you all

Thought I'd mention that I've been using the 3.0.2-1 version of TWRP available on the official download site for the last couple weeks and it has been working fine. I don't use encryption so can't comment on that part but otherwise this latest version seems solid!

I'm not exactly sure who does these builds for our device but thanks to Dees_Troy and whoever else contributes to TWRP for the Victara!

Getting Good Results with OTG USB Flash Drive

I don't have a ton of testing under my belt, but I thought I'd mention this since it seems to be useful. People have mentioned having trouble with the more recent versions of TWRP and that the 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.6.0 versions seemed the most stable. And there are other comments that sometimes something weird happens where you sort of are stuck and can't get into TWRP (when trying to access the recovery, you just get the logo and then the phone reboots instead of entering the recovery).

I've experienced these issues. But I tried something and it seems to have really fixed everything. I used to download the ROM's to the phone and verify that they were good before I flashed them (md5 hash). And I found that for the most part, the flashing was successful. But occasionally there would be weirdness and I'd just end up flashing the cyanogenmod recovery and reflashing the TWRP recovery and clean flashing the ROM.

However, a couple months ago, I thought I'd try something different. Instead of flashing the ROM's from the phone's memory, I started flashing ROM's, gapps, kernels, etc. from an OTG drive. And everything has been rock solid. No more random bad flashes. It would seem that flashing from one drive (OTG) to another (internal memory) is much more reliable than flashing from a file (internal memory) on a drive to itself (internal memory).

By using this method I am able to use the latest TWRP (which someone mentioned is actually 3.0.2-1 if you visit their website) without any trouble. And I'm not getting any weirdness where I have to either reflash the recovery or the ROM or both.

So if you have an OTG drive, I would recommend you put your files on it and flash from there. I don't know if it matters, but I reboot into recovery and then connect the OTG drive. You do have to mount it (mount is one of the buttons on the main TWRP screen - select OTG). And in that same screen there is another button for "Select Storage" where you can choose to use the OTG again. Then you should be good to go. When you press the "Install" button in TWRP, it should bring up the files and folders on the OTG drive and you can install them as you normally would.

I've used this method to flash the ROM's I use and to dirty flash any nightlies and it seems to be rock solid. It's only been about two months now, but before I was using the OTG drive, I would have probably needed to fix the recovery at least 3 or 4 times. So take that as you will. If you have an OTG drive, you might want to try it. I've had really good luck doing this and you might too.

[X 2014 Original Android Development] fhreire:
Guys, can anyone help me please?

I had 3.0.0-0 version of TWRP, and I encrypted my whole phone using Android internal feature. (I use custom ROM, NxROM).

So now when I run the recovery, it asks me a password, but I've put a drawing password in my encrypted HD, so now I can't access my content inside the phone via recovery. I flashed the newest version 3.0.2-1 but still I can't decrypt. What should I do? If I format the whole phone using Wipe tools can I access my phone via recovery afterwards?

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Have you encrypted your phone using 3.0.0-0? If so, then you have the same issue as me and I'm looking for the fix as well.

[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
I've not seen the error you are reporting but it looks like everything went ok after the error. Is TWRP installed and working if you go into recovery? If so, just ignore the "not found" error.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] alexdonwarez:
I'm getting mismatch partition size error.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
This always happens because TWRP isn't the same size as the stock recovery. This error can also be ignored.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] pedroperoz:
I'm getting the same message... and it is not opening the recovery, when I try to access it. It just shows "No command" screen.

Is there any way to "ignore" this?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
After flashing TWRP, use the volume down button to highlight the recovery option, then use the volume up button to select the option and it should boot into TWRP.

If you just reboot after flashing TWRP, the stock rom will reinstall the stock recovery (that is what you are seeing with that "No command" screen.) TWRP will fix that problem the first time it is booted and then it will work in the future as you are expecting
[X 2014 Original Android Development] pedroperoz:
I just did the steps below:

1) Booted in fastboot mode

2) Flash recovery via "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

The Preflash validation failed error and then the FAILED error leads me to think that maybe you've got a bad download. The most recent version (and I've been using it for over a month now) is here: https://dl.twrp.me/victara/twrp-3.0.2-1-victara.img

Other (2.8.7.0) versions that are known to work are this one by Invisiblek: http://www.invisiblek.org/twrp/twrp_2.8.7.0-9e9c472b_victara.img

And this one by romracer: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3379645&d=1435333119

You will get the parition size mismatch message on the phone screen for all of these version but that can be ignored.

let me know it's all good and it'll go to official builds later

there should now be ~ 2 MB free space for new features and future support on the M branches

my main concern is if exfat is working or not (try it with OTG)

New kernel based on CM 13.0 kernel sources that's only 4 MB!
Improved compression
Up to date f2fs drivers
exFAT in kernel
CM 13.0 HW encryption support
BoardConfig fix ups
Based in Omni 6.0 tree (upgrade from 4.4, the life support is real)

I'm one of the folks who can't use any recovery passed 2.8.5.0. Has anyone else who is stuck on these older versions given this new one a shot? For me, the new ones would always work initially, but if I didn't reboot to recovery in a while, I'd get stuck on TeamWin splash.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
if you can boot cm13 i see no reason you cant boot this new build....if you cant boot cm13 then hmmmmm

if you get stuck, and using adopted storage, theres a bug with a fix ready for twrp 3.0.3 (or 3.1.0) eventually (wait for cryptfs to be ready before mounting adopted storage) that right now just causes freezing or vfat mounting of wrong sd partition, altho so far only known to affect samsung msm8974 devices
[X 2014 Original Android Development] dictionary:
I can boot cm13 no issues, and the initial boot of any 3.0.x recovery works. I can flash a rom, kernel, etc. The problem arises after that first boot back into the ROM. If I run the ROM for a day or so (could be less, I've never tested exact times), when I go to boot back into recovery (3.0.x), it will just sit there at the splash screen. I can flash the same recovery again, with the same results. The only fix is to flash back down to 2.8.5, boot into it, and then flash the 3.0.x recovery again. This is the reason a lot of us are staying in 2.8.5-2.8.7
[X 2014 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
hmm this was an experience with f2fs on hlte where it would take ~5 minutes to get past the splash screen once you had more than 500 MB of items on the phone due to the insanely long "du" call that checks how much space is used for backup sizes.

in any case, guess you'll never know until you try? :) it <is> using a completely different kernel and updated fs drivers, so there's a good chance things might be fixed.

I got the same problem and I guess TWRP isnt installed because whenever I try to boot in fastboot, stock recovery appears. I even tried fastboot boot twrp.img and it doesn't do anything but boot the phone normally.
