I use Windows 8.1 and have adb. Can you say me how i install this?
Follow the manual installation instructions on the CWM thread here in this forum for the v500, but substitute the recovery.img with the one in this thread.
Is TWRP 2.8.0.0 the last version without problem with restoring backups? Everything after 2.8.0.0 seems to have reported issues.its working. but i am having same issue i had on Z2 when using 2.8.1.0 .. restoring a v500 CM12 nandroid backup made with 2.8.3.0, results in multiples FC's after boot, and makes the device unusable...
regards.

Seems to be impossible to decrypt data, when encrypted in lollypop, using a pattern. Can someone confirm?Thanks for the update.
Do you know why it's unable to decrypt data in the new lollypop format?
Sorry for the bad picture.
I also tried several times, to update from 2.8.0.0 to more recent versions. But always failed. Then I found something by chance, downloading the Red Kernel to use it with CM12. Developer RickRoll offers on his site all recent versions of his kernel as well as the v500 recovery, also 2.8.3.0. I downloaded the 2.8.3.0.img and flashed it with Flashify. For me it's working now, tried to flash something and it worked as it should.
Maybe those who had problems updating their recover may try it this way...

I'm kind of confused. Can TWRP flash itself or not? What's the use of the zip format recovery (v500-TWRP_2.8.x.x-recovery.zip)? Shouldn't a Loki-vulnerable bootloader be enough to flash a bootable recovery? Do I need to both bump and lokify the recovery image?PSA: Flashing boot/recovery images from TWRP GUI only work with bumped images. If you flash a non-bumped image you will be softbricked because our locked bootloader can't boot unsigned images.
INSTALLATION:
NEEDS ROOT AND A LOKI VULNERABLE ABOOT (Stock 4.2.X roms)

Just to clarify, because I don't want to end with a bricked tablet... it's new (2 hours!!!).
The tablet is rooted (TowelRoot) and have SuperSU instaled. Root checker says it's all OK.
So now, to flash the recovery all I have to do is (the tablet is all stock):
1 - Install Flashify from Play Store
2 - Download openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-v500.img (or the zip v500-TWRP_2.8.4.0-recovery.zip? I'm confused)
3 - Using flashify select - flash recovery image (point to the img or the zip file) and it's done
Is that correct or is something missing?
This looks too easy to be true!!!
Thanks in advance
