upgrading twrp evo 4g lte

---

can someone explain how to upgrade from twrp 2.1.8 to 2.2.1? is it necessary? i see where some new roms call for being on 2.2.1 as a preference. and if someone can explain, how do i keep my nandroid backups? i have searched i just havent found a clear cut answer. and im very worried about losing my original backup. i am s-on rooted and did take the ota. ive been using meanrom v2.0. i was thinking bout trying viper 4g and it states in the installation instructions twrp 2.2.1 would be best. i would like t be on the latest recovery regardless. thanks to those who may help.

Im pretty sure your backups will still work on the latest twrp recovery.

To upgrade your recovery download goomanager from the play store. Open the app and hit menu. Choose install openrecoveryscript and it pretty much does it for you. It's really easy.

i would ask in the thread for twrp. i can tell you that on the evo 3D from 1.11 to 2.0 the nandroids would not work .had to be from current version of twrp. i would assume its still the same.but ask there.

The theory, as I understand it, is that you're supposed post in other threads outside of dev and join and participate in the community before you start running into problems that you need help with. Anyway, have you read that thread through? I think backwards compatibility was addressed a while ago, I don't remember it being an issue, but I could be wrong. As far as installing the latest version, that was answered above.

there are 2 posts above. which seems to be correct? they contradict each other. i have posted on here more than 10 times. i dont know why my permissions havent been changed. and i always read before asking questions. maybe i missed that part though. thx

It's not a major version upgrade so just upgrade it and enjoy the awesome.

Weird about your postcount, you may want to pm a mod about that. The posts above do contradict each other. What it comes down to though is that if you want to flash viper4g, you need to upgrade your recovery. Why not upgrade recovery, then run a fresh backup before you flash the new rom?

GO to the TWRP homepage... clink the link to enter their IRC chat... They will answer your question there. My wife and I had problems with TWRP and back ups and they were most helpful.
