TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point.
We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions
and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G.
After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project
that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery.
Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

This is a continuation of @dadi11's project.

• compiled with latest android-9.0 source, combined TeamWin and omnirom
• updated and modified device trees
• support for g3ds variant
• Nebula Kernel (-Nebula_Rev12.5-Final_MM)
• AROMA support
• useful TWRP functions enabled (logd/logcat...)
• new extensions supported (usb-otg, exfat, ntfs-3g...)
• parted binary added
• thermal-engine with config
• optional red theme
• backup of /recovery
• TWRP app removed
• nano binary

You might want to have your ROM rooted before flashing, just in case something goes wrong.
To install TWRP, you need to be rooted, of course.

first method (best and recommended)

• boot to recovery
• click install and select Install Image on the right bottom corner
• flash latest recovery image

second method

• place latest recovery image on the internal storage
• open terminal and type following

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/<recovery image name>.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery

If you want to contact me, head for my telegram.
I also really recommend joining telegram: G3 development channel for more information about my projects!
The thread has been designed by me, please don't copy it.

There are always two files, a normal and a -themed one.
If you want red-colored overlay, download the -themed one. Otherwise, you get blue.
MEGA (recommended)

[4540] Fastboot mode started

that's a lot for feedback, I made a mistake while building vs985 and ls990. they were using d855 kernel.
I am building fixed versions and gonna upload them in 10 minutes

//edit done!

[wutangkillabee]

Thank You so much 4 this... Greatly appreciated about 2 flash this badboy right now :good:

 

[rahimali]

Great job!

@HardStyl3r, thank you for this. The lack of thermal engine support from the official version was holding me back from upgrading from TWRP v3.0.3 built by @dadi11 because these phones heat up like hell when flashing something. Now thanks to you, I'm able to upgrade to the newest and the latest and the greatest... :good:

For the people that do not like the red themed version of the recovery, since @HardStyl3r was kind enough to build both themed and un-themed versions, you can flash the un-themed version and use a theme from here courtesy of @z31s1g. I can confirm as have other users that the v3.2.1 TWRP theme works just fine with TWRP v3.2.2!

After installing the custom theme, if you cannot see CPU temperature in the top left corner, you can get it back by following the instructions provided here. I just tried it and it works!

 

[cydia_Droid]

brilliant work ! but i don't know if it's just me that i think the older build(3.0.2.0) was snappier than this one, i'm on D850 btw

the older builds feels snappier on d855, but only just a little bit. I used the same sources as dadi11 did, so I guess it's related to TWRP

Feedback F400 variant (problems)

1. In the process of backing up (it shows 3 times "Unable to locate partition by backup name": radio, rpm ,tz) (First Screenshot)

2. Still during the backup process, it got stuck in 16 MB. I waited for more than 10min, and still nothing happened. (Second Screenshot)

3. After that, i decided to cancel the backup process, and then it showed " createTarFork( ) process ended with ERROR:255 " (Third Screenshot)

4. Afterwards, i tried to flash back dadi11 TWRP.img, but it could not (Failed).

5. And then, i decided to restore only the "recovery" partition from a nandroid backup which i had previously backed up using dadi11 TWRP. This also showed an error.

6. Tried rebooting to recovery but couldn't anymore (a screen appeared written "750 fastboot mode") (So at that moment, i knew i had lost recovey)

7. Lastly, i removed battery and inserted it again.
Booted into system and installed Rashr, and then i was able to flash dadi11 TWRP.

8. Phewww, what a history

 

[SDA93]

Continuation of last post

With dadi11 TWRP, when i mark all partitions to backup, the TWRP itself says
" Total number of partitions to backup: 10 " during the backup process.
It does backup of the following: boot, cache, data, efs1, ef2, radio, recovery, rpm, system, tz.

Your recovery (3.2.2-0) says : "Total number of partitions to backup: 8"
I don't know what's missing.

I am puting here the photos of dadi11 recovery, just so you can see.

8. Phewww, what a history

I had an issue restoring data. Error 5. I forget what else it said since I had an official copy of 3.2.2 and flashed it, rebooted back into recovery, and was able to restore the data partition with no issue

 

[HardStyl3r]

@SDA93
I am speechless. I can't understand the issue nor reproduce it. I tested backup, restore, flash, AROMA and terminal before releasing on my d855 and everything went really snappy. Have you managed to get out of it?

Yes.
As said in the post, i installed Rashr and used it to flash again dadi11's TWRP.

I also don't know the cause of the problem. Probably the F400 recovery has a problem that the d855 doesn't.
I also checked the md5 hash to avoid corrupted download, but it was correct.

Are you using F400 variant?
