Someone else mentioned issues with booting twrp 2.8.6 on the last page. What version are you using? Try crpalmer's custom twrp 2.8.5. I think that's the best option right now.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Sdobron:
Tried official 2.8.6 then 2.8.5 with same results. Will try Crpalmers and report back

can't make drive e: error with 2.8.6.0

Is it strange that I still get the permission errors when trying to make a backup using 2.8.6.0?

It works with 2.8.0.1, but that version seems pretty old by now.

Which version is currently recommended?

no trwp working on european 1092

Hi all

I flashed the recovery twrp-2.8.5.0-victara.img through to to the latest twrp-2.8.6.0-victara.img

None works, all seems OK, but when I 'Ok' the recovery or even the Factory selection, nothing happens just get a black screen

Edit

Finally got it work with the 2.8.3.0 version and using the UP button rather than the power button, when on the recovery line

Hope this helps other users

Problem with Aroma GAPPS installer

The Aroma GAPPS installer (version LP 5.1 dated 5/2/2015) doesn't work with TWRP 2.8.6 - it crashes and causes a reboot. Any idea why that might be?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Sdobron:
There is something very wrong with my device - I have done this 100x of times on Samsung and HTC devices but regardless of what version of twrp I try to use it gives me mismatched partition size - even using crpalmer's file.

What gives?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] kcustom11:
I would guess that it's a problem with your bootloader or your partition table. There were differences in the partition sizes between kitkat and lollipop. I don't know all the details, but there were problems with people upgrading and downgrading.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/general/warning-downgrade-bootloader-partition-t3105147

How did you upgrade to lollipop? Through the ota or from flashing the system image? Which images did you use? There are the Brazilian ones floating around. Maybe you have lollipop system and the kitkat boot loader and gpt.bin. If this is the case, I might try flashing the kitkat stock images from the moto site and then side loading the ota. Then try flashing twrp. I'm not sure though. Anyone else with ideas is free to comment.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Sdobron:
I updated with the OTA - I actually did find a solution...strange problem - even though I am getting the mismatch size it actually did flash the recovery, but for some reason it would only boot stock recovery until I booted the recovery image version 2.8.3.0 (not sure if this is the only version that would work with fastboot boot, but that is the one I used) now I am running crpalmer's version 2.8.5.0 (or at least I believe it is) could be official 2.8.5.0 as well.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] kcustom11:
2.8.5.0 didn't work with encrypted data partitions. crpalmer added some commits to fix that and some other issues with the moto x (on his github). I don't think they got added to the official version in 2.8.6. I don't really understand all the issues. Maybe he or someone else can ellaborate.

I posted a google drive link a few pages back. There's also a link on one of the CM pages.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Sdobron:
I am not using encrypted partitions so that doesn't really apply to me - regardless it looks like you need to boot the recovery image before you can actually flash the later version... I still get the size mismatch error but it now actually flashes regardless.

Prior to booting the recovery image I would Fastboot flash and stock recovery would not be replaced.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Bone stock upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0 OTA, unlocked on 5.0 and flashed recovery via fastboot, got the partition mismatch error but recovery flashed just fine and works as expected. Even attained root when I booted to system.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
To restore a twrp backup,is it ok to just boot twrp and not flash it?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] xKroniK13x:
That should be fine.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ticoticox3000:
Excuse me, I have the TWRP v2.8.1.0 and it is now in version 2.8.6.0, should I update it? and how can I do that?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Just download the new TWRP IMG file and flash with flashify/Rashr (root required) or in fastboot. Alternatively, download the TWRP installer app since Victara is an officially supported device (also requires root). You can check the changelogs to see what changed, but its super easy to update so you might as well.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ticoticox3000:
Thanks dude, I used the TWRP app, it was too easy.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] rufik:
I can confirm that [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] unoffical version (based on 2.8.5.0) is working fine, I can make a backup sucessfully.

TWRP 2.8.6.0 still gives me an errorno=13.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Spin_spinning:
I can say I had no problem at all flashing 2.8.6.0 on a freshly unlocked XT1092 (european). I used the common fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-victara.img and it worked immediately.

Thanks for the hard work and updates!
[X 2014 Original Android Development] binglejellsx2:
Has anyone fixed 2.8.6.0 to be bootable from fastboot? I'm not looking to "fastboot flash" but to actually "fastboot boot" TWRP. 2.8.5.0 still boots fine.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] alvareo:
Honestly for all intents and purposes [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] 's 2.8.5.0 is better

Just tried the new 2.8.7.0 with my encrypted device, and it is still not working. Had to revert to the unofficial one .

[X 2014 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
When you say this, you are refering to the post, right? :p I am using 2.8.5.0 on my xt1092, so I quess it is compatible.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] romracer:
You can try this one if you want. I built it with crpalmer's repo, but my device isn't encrypted. You'll need to unzip it and flash with fastboot (its not a flashable zip).
[X 2014 Original Android Development] alvareo:
Nice!!
[X 2014 Original Android Development] occtec:
Cheers, what's wrong with version 2.8.7.0??
[X 2014 Original Android Development] kcustom11:
The official versions haven't enabled encryption for some reason so you can't read your data partition from twrp. I think they also didn't enable f2fs formatting. Maybe some other stuff. Crpalmer made a custom build that fixed that.

I'm on the the official 2.8.7.0 and it seems to work well for the most part. Haven't tried encryption, but the other guy said it doesn't work.

I'm guessing Romracer's version incorporates crpalmer's commits along with the new 2.8.7.0 build?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] occtec:
So unless your using f2fs formatting or encryption 2.8.7.0 should be fine?

Thanks for the feedback

[X 2014 Original Android Development] kcustom11:
Wrong forum?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] romracer:
Yes. Though I don't use encryption or f2fs so I haven't tested them. I'd be glad if someone who does use them tried my image though.

Stock is fine unless you use either of those two. Mine works fine too in a "stock" capacity.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] ATGardner:
Yeah, it seems to work fine with my encrypted phone. Thank you.

I hope TWRP will pull this into their own version soon.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] revengineer:
I wanted to try romracer's version, but I cannot get my phone to encrypt. Searching for a solution, this may be a bug in kitkat. A tried a number of solutions so far without success. If I manage to succeed I will report with my test results as well.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] phillybizzle:
HI all,

So I accidently formated the /system while i was running 5.1. So now my phone only seems to boot to TWRP. But I went to the factory option in the bootloader menu..and it booted back normally (although without mobile service) to 5.0.2. IS there anyway I can make my phone just boot to what the factory option does?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] alediniz:
1) On recovery mode (TWRP), backup your files using MTP

2) Boot to bootloader

3) Apply stock firmware using RSD Lite

4) Restore your files.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Actually, you could just fastboot flash system and not do a full flash using RSD. Then you wouldn't need to worry about data being lost since the data partition is untouched. Not that taking a backup is a bad idea anyway.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] bongostl:
I remember in the past there was a way I could create a folder and put files in it so that the recovery automatically flashed those files after flashing whatever else. (E.g. I am on cm12.1, and I want to have it flash gapps automatically after I flash a new nightly). Thoughts?

I found a new version 2.8.7.1 on the TWRP official website.

https://dl.twrp.me/victara/
[X 2014 Original Android Development] G4 Man2:
Want some feedback about something. I'm running the ATT XT1097, I have the 5.0 Bootloader and have installed 2.8.7.0 via fastboot. I got the mismatch error but TWRP is in fact installed. However I cannot access the recovery via the bootloader, trying to turns my device off. I can however access it by using ADB. I'm wondering if this the same for everyone or just me, also if there's a way of entering recovery via key combo bypassing the bootloader. If this is in fact not the norm and anyone else has this problem, is there a way of correcting it?

[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
Ok, I'm not an expert on theming of TWRP but I have used one of the themes here: [THEME][TWRP] TWRP Materialised - Dark / Light / Play [23/06/15] You don't actually recompile the recovery image to use a theme; you put a file named ui.zip into a folder you create on your sdcard: /sdcard/TWRP/theme TWRP looks for this file when it starts and applies the theme if found. Check out that thread, it has a lot of info and instructions for working with TWRP themes.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] G4 Man2:
I've never used a custom splash screen with TWRP but you should check out the thread for whatever theme your using for support.

He's talking about using a custom TWRP splash screen. You have to unpack the recovery and replace a jpg then repack. (Materialised has a guide as part of the OP).
[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
You're right. So he probably needs to reduce the file size of the .jpg so he ends up with an image that will fit his partition.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] albertwesquer:
I already customize previews recovery's successfully, with the same image splash and theme that im trying to use usually, and i am no expert but i kinda know what im doing ;), the thing is that the new recovery 2.8.7.1 seems a bit bigger than previous recovery (2.8.7.0) compiled with new splash and theme, so that is why i get size error! and im unable to flash it!
[X 2014 Original Android Development] G4 Man2:
Try loading up the jpg in a photo editing program and reducing the quality you export as to something that is a smaller size than the default jpg.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] albertwesquer:
Woow thanks 4 fast response! The problem seems to be the new recovery since it went to be 8.4MB (2.8.7.0) to 9.8 MB(2.8.7.1) and the theme im trying to integrate is about 1.50 MB and the splash is 670 kb give a total of almost 11.7 MB and the partition size destined to recovery is 10.5 MB, so the only option is to wait and hope for a smaller TWRP 2.8.7.2!

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] TWRP 2.8.7.1 has the time way off into the past when running on the xt1096 with cm12.1 The time is correct when running the stock Moto ROM. On the stock ROM, TWRP is using the /data/time/ats_2 file to set the time. With CM12.1, there is no ats_2 file and TWRP uses the ats_1 file to set the time.

I found that if I copy the ats_13 file to ats_2, then TWRP will use that and have the correct time for filestamps, etc. I've posted about this in the CM thread but have since found that the time_daemon binary creating these files is identical in the CM rom as in the stock rom; it may be out of their control. I don't see any difference in how time_daemon is called between the two roms.

Can TWRP be set to use ats_13 if the ats_2 file is missing instead of ats_1? Or is this something that needs to be fixed on the CM side?

[X 2014 Original Android Development] fhreire:
mate, my TWRP was ok, but not making WIPE internal storage. I flashed all those older versions, and it wouldn't wipe internal storage as well. Don't know what to do.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] mikeoswego:
Just deleting everything in internal storage would be almost the same as wiping it.

If you go into advanced wipe and select Format Data, that will format all of Data including internal storage. If you do that it will change the format from F2FS to EXT4, immediately after formating, you will want to use the repair function to change the file system of Data back to F2FS for best performance. Both of these steps take a bit of time so be patient.

If you make a backup of data first, you can restore that after the format to restore everything except internal storage (which isn't backed up by TWRP.)
