[RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.0RC0.2 [2011-12-22]

[CaMelGuY1337]

Introduction:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Team Win Recovery Project 2.0, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.


Key Features:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-Ability to save custom recovery settings
-Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
-XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
-Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
-Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
-Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

FAQ:

Install as a Flashable Zip? [RECOMMENDED]

Download flashable zip from the OP and rename it "PC36IMG.zip" (without the quotes)
Place in the root of the sdcard
Power off phone (make sure you turn off hot boot or pull the battery when it's off)
Power on the phone holding power and volume down
Follow the prompts to flash it
Delete .zip (PC36IMG.zip) after booting
Enjoy

How to install with Fastboot:

Download the fastboot binary for your computer from HTC
Connect your phone and boot it into fastboot
Run fastboot with the command

fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-supersonic-1.X.X.img

Does this back up Wimax partition?

That is an option if you chose. Recommended to make at least one backup of just wimax and store that somewhere safe.

Why should I use this over ClockworkMod or Amon Ra?

While all three recoveries offer roughly the same abilities (backup, restore, flash) we feel like ours adds a bit more in addition to the basics as well as blend some of the more useful features. A few differences to hightlight:

* USB Mass Storage mode (Not in CWM)
* Re-organized menus with most commonly used features on top
* Saveable settings for all preferences selected
* Date and battery display (configurable timezones)
* Ability to auto-reboot after flashing
* Color themes
* Capacitive button support​

Go a head and give it a try! You've got nothing to lose. If you don't like it you can always roll back to whatever recovery you want. Of course, shift might go all Emo Pony on us, but he'll get over it.


I found a bug! What do I do?

Well you're probably going to want to post here and see if other people are having the same issue. We're also going to start tracking bugs on Github along with our project. This will let you see what issues we are aware of. You can submit a bug here: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-...Project/issues Be sure to include how you came about the issue as well as list your device and how you installed twrp.

Note

Your backups with Clockworkmod or Amon_RA will not work with this recovery. When making a backup it will be in the twrp folder.

Thank you for posting the screens man, making this thread look nice is really hard to do from my phone...lol. Hopefully I'll be back to my house in a little bit so I can get to work on it. This recovery looks to have quite a bit or potential, gonna rock it for a while and see. I've made one backup so far, which took roughly 2 and a half minutes....crazy fast! Will also edit my first few post to be more instructive and what not.

I know what you mean. Simple posting is fine but something like that would be killer to do on a phone.

You're welcome. I know people like to see screenshots so I supplied some.

Tried any of the themes? I haven't gotten to it yet and I think that is awesome they have it. This does have big potential. Now I just have to get my backups on this recovery! Long day a coming

You ain't kidding man, it took what seemed like an eternity to copy and paste that original post onto Tapatalk...lol. Sounds like it man, hopefully you don't have a lot to move over. I'm gonna try out the restore in a little bit, see how that goes. I did try out the jesusfreek one....it's super dark blue. The Google one is a bit lighter than the Jesus one, but is still kinda dark blue. I like the default TeamWin theme, can't go wrong with the classic green on black. Haven't tried the other themes out yet...definitely am at some point.

I only keep two nandroids on my phone, Vaelpak4 and CM7 (one of each). Now on my computer I have way too many. lol

I now have free time on my Sunday evening, I guess I'll start applying some of these themes.

 

[CaMelGuY1337]

Same here man, two is a perfect amount to keep on the phone. I'm going to flash OMFGB 1.3 in a sec and see how this recovery handles wiping and flashing. I'll post the results when I'm done.

Ok, I just got really worried that I was about to brick my phone. I'm gonna have to do some reading on this recovery before I try another restore with it. I made the backup just fine, but after it had finished all it would reboot to is the recovery, fastboot or Hboot. Never could get it to boot back into Android. Thankfully a friend of mine is over with his Optimus. I put my EVO's SD card into and put the Amon zip on it, stuck it back in and flash it and everything is back to normal now. Now this is more than likely my fault as this is a brand new recovery and will take some time to learn to use it properly. Just wanted to give a heads up on what happened to me.

Re: [RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) v1.0.1 [7/30/11]

so what phone is that for.

If you are referring to the recovery then it is for the Evo 4G. To get into the bootloader with Gingerbread you need to turn off Fastboot.

Re: [RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) v1.0.1 [7/30/11]

i'm talking about unlocking teh bootload so i can install root and all that jaz.

the bootloader comes up. but it won't go into recovery. so i can pull from my memory card

 

[SmokeCrawler]

Re: [RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) v1.0.1 [7/30/11]

There isn't anything to unlock it yet. All this is, is a custom recovery for those with root.

 

[tazman1963]

Well guys here I am with my two cents..............I like it........not as much as amon, but I'm gonna toy with this for a few and see what I get. As far as backups I have 4 nandroids, had 5 but backed down.........if 4 is two too many tell me so and as you two are part of the great trifecta of my mentorship I value your opinions greatly........but anyway I like this simple recovery.........easy to use with plenty of thoughtfulness! I'm gonna rock it!

Having 5 backups isn't really a bad thing man, I just wouldn't keep more than a couple with you at any given time....considering how much space they take up on the SD card. I'd just keep a couple of them with you, like a Sense ROM for PRL and data profile updates and your latest one for whatever ROM your running at the given time. try this with the rest of them that you have, works awesome for me.....take each individual Nand and place it in it's own folder. Name the containing folder the name of the ROM with a date and you'll never have to wonder which backup it is. I know myself, I have a hard time keeping all the backups in order sometimes if I start to get a lot of them.

Like CaMelGuy said, it isn't a bad thing to have that many nandroids. I only keep one for Vaelpak4 and one for CM7 on the phone, but on my computer I have 12 nandroids. Monstly different roms, but some not.
